Puppy Proof Your Garage

Like your house, you should puppy-proof your garage or tool shed as well.  Never leave your puppy in the garage or tool shed alone even if you have puppy-proofed them.

See below for a specific list.

Never assume he/she is okay. 

If you want to assume, assume he/she will get into trouble – never assume they won’t investigate and/or touch something.  Keep eyes on them at all times.

Pulling Car Out

Double and triple check where your puppy is prior to moving you car.  They want to be with you so if they get out while you are moving the car, they will go straight to you.

Doors 

Remember puppies are always underfoot even when you don’t think they are anywhere close.  When you are walking through a doorway make sure you know where your puppy is.  You don’t want them to get loose and run away and closing doors can be dangerous even deadly if your puppy is in the doorway.
