It’s a good idea to get some kind of child gate so you can block off certain rooms and stairs.
If you have small children, you should make sure that your puppy cannot enter their rooms and that they do not leave their toys for a while because the puppy does it swallow things easily, which can make you very sick.
Make sure your yard is pup-safe by fencing off poisonous plants.

You may think “oh, why make such a fuss about all this? Everything will be fine that day”, but let me assure you that a healthy and hearty pup is full of mischief and will turn your house upside down in no time.
By preparing your home and making it pup-safe, you minimize stress and maximize happiness and enjoyment for everyone.
