Puppy Proofing  

Puppy-proof your home.  Puppies go through a
chewing stage for much of their first year.  Put up
items close to the floor you don’t want him chewing
or that could be dangerous to him. Beware of
houseplants—many are lethal to animals.  Buy a
safe, commercial repellant spray that can be applied
to furniture legs or woodwork that will discourage
your puppy from doing damage.  Until he’s older and
can be trusted, decide where in the house you don’t
want him to go and put up baby gates.  Remember,
puppyhood is the time your new dog will be most
charming AND most destructive. It won’t last
forever.  Be patient.  

Check out your fence for holes or cracks in the gate
where a small puppy could escape.  If you don't
have a fence, never leave your puppy outside
unattended.  A puppy, like a toddler, will wander off
and doesn't know the dangers in a street.  It's a
good idea to never allow your puppy to be off a
leash when outside without a fence.
