Even well-behaved dogs get worked up from time to time. When this happens, they can sometimes take their anxiety out on your furniture or belongings. Most commonly, dogs get wound up when seeing people or animals out through a window. Additionally, they can get stressed when away from their owners for too long. When this happens, their innate need to chew comes to the surface, prompting them to do things like pulling on cords and breaking slats.
Planning around your dog’s capacity to chew things is the key to implementing dog-proof shading. If your dog tends to make a beeline for cords, look into cordless designs. You should also look into complete window coverage, rather than slatted blinds. This will lessen the probability of your dog seeing someone or something outside the window that will aggravate it. Some blinds and shades also offer upgrades to tougher materials, designed to stand up to more wear and tear. While these materials might not be invincible, they’ll certainly hold up better than normal shading products.
