Puppy Proofing

Not too long ago I was at a house where the owners were very angry and on the verge of getting rid of their puppy.

You see, they were sick and tired of their puppy eating the kids' toys, knocking over the trash can, chewing on the tables and chairs, etc. A big part of the problem was that they gave their puppy way too many opportunities to get into trouble.

I informed them that having a puppy is a lot like having a toddler. It is constant management. It's the reason I don't watch my newphew. This kid is a handful. You can't take your eyes off of him for a second.

He is into everything. That is what a puppy is like. A big part of raising a puppy is management and puppy proofing. I just wrote an article on this subject for ehow.com. You can check it out by clicking here:
