How to Puppy Proof a Backyard

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Create a container that has just your puppy's toys in it. Make certain the puppy's toys are kept separate from children's toys.
Step 2:
Purchase large storage containers for kids' toys or outside yard equipment so your puppy can't ruin these by chewing on them. Pick up anything of value and place it high. Don't leave anything at puppy teeth height, because it could be destroyed.
Step 3:
Give your new puppy a chew bone or chew toy at least once a day to keep it busy. Puppies bore easily so they need cheap entertainment.
Step 4:
Show your puppy lots of love and attention. It needs to be played with and walked daily. Also, ensure that your puppy has plenty of food, water and shade for the times you can't give it all of your attention.
Step 5:
Build a fence to keep your puppy safe from other neighborhood animals, as well as secure in its own yard.
Step 6:
Create a separate kennel area for your puppy. You may not want your puppy having the run of the yard all day, so a secure kennel or fenced off area can keep it in a smaller section of the yard.
