Introduction
If you're a new pet owner, you may be asking yourself "How do I keep my home puppy proof?" or "What things need to be done in order to make sure that my home is safe for my new dog?". Well, worry no more! Here are some tips on how to make your house safe and secure while raising a new puppy:
Put your shoes away and make sure that they are out of reach.
The first thing you should do is put your shoes away and make sure that they are out of reach. Puppies love to chew on shoes. They also like to destroy shoes, so it's best not to leave them laying around for them to get into trouble with. If you don't want your puppy to chew on shoes, don't leave them around!
Make sure that everything that you don't want your dog chewing on is put away where he cannot get at it. This includes books, stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, etc. Be sure to pick up any loose paper off of the floor as well because puppies love to chew on that!

Make sure you buy things for your puppy that are indestructible (i.e., Kong toys) and will not be destroyed by him/her no matter how hard they try!
If your dog does chew a toy or other item he shouldn't have been chewing on in the first place - make sure that when you replace it with another one (or even better yet a new toy), make sure it's something different than before so he doesn't get bored of playing with them over time since this will lead into boredom which usually leads into destructive behavior like chewing up furniture legs because there isn't anything else left available so instead of whining about not having anything interesting left around anymore....
Cover up and hide small electronics and wires, such as phones and computers.

Put away any loose paper that might be lying around in the living room or other areas where the puppy can reach it.
Make sure the puppy can't reach anything dangerous. This includes kitchen knives, ovens, and other appliances that can cause harm when they're used improperly by a curious pooch!
Put away any breakable items that may fall on top of your new furry friend if he or she were to knock them off a shelf or table. In addition to protecting your belongings from potential damage, this will also give you peace of mind knowing that no one will get hurt in case something does fall over on him/her during playtime at home (which is almost always guaranteed).
Make sure the puppy can't get into trash cans without supervision—if he/she gets into trash, it's likely they'll ingest unhealthy things like cigarette butts or empty soda bottles which can cause serious problems down the road (not to mention make housekeeping more difficult).
Block your stairs off with a baby gate so that your puppy cannot fall down them or run up them when you are not around.
When you are not home, it is important that your puppy cannot get up and down the stairs. Baby gates are inexpensive and easy to install. They can also be used to block off other areas of your house, such as a doorway or entranceway. Other uses include blocking off other pets from areas where they may cause damage or damage themselves by jumping on furniture or beds, digging holes under doors, chewing wires/cords in walls/electrical outlets etc., escaping into the yard and getting lost (as well as all sorts of other reasons).
Raising a puppy can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding.
Raising a puppy can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. When you raise a puppy, you have the opportunity to teach it all of the things that they will need to know in order to become an adult dog. You'll get to train your puppy so that he or she knows how to behave around other people and pets. A well-trained dog is less likely to become aggressive or run away if they're trained properly as a puppy.
With all of these benefits of raising a dog at home, why wouldn't everyone want one? Sometimes dogs are not always the best choice for families with small children because puppies tend not to be housebroken yet and may bite when startled by something unfamiliar like little kids running around them in their yard! However, if your family has older children who take care of younger siblings then this could be an excellent option for everyone involved!
Keeping your home safe for a new puppy will help with training
It's important to remember that you can't expect a puppy to know what is dangerous and what isn't. They're learning from their environment, so you need to make sure that your home is as safe as possible, and that means puppy proofing it.
First of all, safety netting can be used over stairs if there is any chance of your puppy falling down them. If you have young children in the house then this would be an absolute must!
You should also consider getting a gate for corridors or doorways so that dogs can't get into areas where electrical sockets are located or other items which could harm them.
Conclusion
Getting your new puppy home and safe should be a priority for you. Even if you have had dogs before, this is your first time with a puppy so it's important to take all the precautions possible when bringing him or her into your new home. Puppies are like babies in many ways so it's best if we keep them away from dangers that could harm them while they're learning how things work around here!
