Puppy Proof your home
It’s like having a 2 year old child that is in to everything when your new pup arrives. Take time to look around your space and see what you will need to lock away and hide.
Make sure anything harmful is out the way… cleaning products, cables and anything they would be happy to chew on.
You may want to restrict areas of the house they can access. Often purchasing things like stair gates before they arrive and setting them up.
Create a resting space
Set up your puppy a place that is there space. It can be a corner of a room or some use a crate.
This is a space they won’t be disturbed, a quiet place of there own. Use lots of blankets, and bedding to keep them warm and comfy.
If your planning for the pup to stay in your room, you will still need a separate space they can use during the day. A safe space for them to rest without being disturbed.
