Puppy proofing

103.Plug up outlets with childproof outlet covers. Whiskers and tongues may find investigation a shocking experience! All jokes aside, this could be very dangerous, if not life-threatening to your puppy.

104.Hide television, phone, and computer wires under furniture or objects.All too often,these tempting “toys”satisfy not only unsafe investigation instincts,but unsafe chewing needs as well. Not only is this dangerous to your puppy, but it can also cost you money in electronic repairs.

105.Bitters extract sprays can be purchased to spray on items that you wish your dog to remain away from.These tastes are so pungent that your dog will immediately spit the object out of his mouth and create a negative association with the object. Later, the smell of the spray alone will be enough of an association with the taste to keep your puppy away from the object. The sprays need to be reapplied every other day or so to completely break the habit of chewing the object.

106.Houseplants can be poisonous,so do some research on the plants in your home. Bitters extract spray products exist specifically for plants, but supervise your puppy around plants.

107.Puppy-proofing is not a license to let your puppy have free roam of the house or even of a given area. She can find the smallest of items to investigate and it could prove harmful to her. You remain her best safeguard in her daily life experiences.
