Puppies are adorable but will often cause trouble in unsuspecting spots throughout the home. From potty-training to general damage, here are a few tips from Mario Brothers Home Improvement to help reduce the chances of your puppy wreaking havoc and what to do if they cause damage.
- Floors – Carpet cleaners and potty pads are recommended to have around at all times. Urine can damage carpet and seep through the hardwood floors – and let’s not forget the smell. Take care of them right away to minimize any long-lasting effects.
- Fix Right Away – Small holes in the drywall can become big quickly. Whatever damage your puppy does, make sure they don’t have the opportunity to extend it.
- Doggy Doors – Your puppy will feel freer if you’ve installed a doggy door. This will help in training when they need to go out and allow them run around if they need to burn off some energy – puppies have a lot of this. Just make sure your yard is fenced-in.
One other recommendation is to have your puppy’s nails clipped regularly. This will give them one less tool to scratch away at the furniture, doors and couches.
