Exposed electrical cords are enticing to young dogs and can cause electrical burns and sometimes death. Puppies are naturally curious and are always ready for an adventure. Digging and chewing are normal dog behaviors, and you must be able to provide a safe, quiet place for your puppy to relax and sleep when you are not able to supervise. A crate or dog enclosure can fulfill this need. If you leave your puppy loose in the home, house soiling will almost certainly occur, as well as chewing of furniture, cabinets and walls.
Repairs are expensive.
Allowing your puppy free access to the garage is also a bad idea There are usually many toxins in that area, and some dogs will jump on your car, chew auto wiring and destroy the pain. In the yard, any decks, furniture, patio covers or toys will be fair game for puppies, and they are also likely to destroy shrubs, plants and rose bushes. So before accidents happen, anticipate your puppy's behavior and provide a safe, quiet place such as a dog run, crate or fenced area for your puppy to call its own. Stock it with stimulating and safe chews and toys so the puppy can burn off excess energy and anxiety. Planning and prevention are in your puppy's best interests.
