Zu Ehren des National Puppy Day stellen wir Ihnen unsere 5 besten Tipps für ein haustierfreundliches Zuhause vor. Wir empfehlen diese Tipps, wenn Sie einen neuen Welpen haben, aber sie können auch Ihrer Beziehung zu Ihrem ausgewachsenen Hund helfen.

Haustierfreundliches Haus

1. Wenn es auf dem Boden liegt - betrachten Sie es als Freiwild

Dogs are literally living at a lower level than us, so they really notice first what’s on the floor. They particularly like it when there’s something tasty or smells good. Real leather fits the bill perfectly.

Puppies that tend to chew a lot, will find your shoes and handbags on the floor irresistible.

Even my dog, who’s trained quite well, went through at least 4 pairs of shoes and almost a handbag (I quickly rescued it before major damage was done) when he was a puppy. So don’t tempt them; if you like it, keep it off the floor.

2. Wenn sie es erreichen können - ist es auch Freiwild

When creating a pet friendly home, you need to take into consideration how tall your dog is – including how tall he is on his hind legs and stretching. Dogs will use all their efforts to get to something they really want.

Did you read our post on how Pappy nabbed the family rotisserie chicken? Pappy was 8 years old when this happened, so this isn’t just a puppy problem.

Und dann ist da noch das Problem mit dem Couchtisch - Ihr Hund kann ihn von vorne mit dem Maul oder von hinten mit dem Schwanz erreichen. Hier müssen Sie als verantwortungsbewusster Tierhalter erkennen, dass der Couchtisch ein potenzieller Gefahrenherd ist. Halten Sie die Augen offen oder sorgen Sie dafür, dass Ihr Hund nicht in seine Nähe kommt.

Did you know it’s National Poison Prevention Week? As a reminder, please make sure those potentially dangerous human foods are out of reach of your best friend.

A friend of mine had some chocolates on the dining room table and while she was away at work, her puppy dachshund jumped on the chair and then up on the table and ate all the chocolates – which very sadly resulted in her puppy’s passing. If in doubt, put it away!

3. Geben Sie Ihrem Hund seinen eigenen persönlichen Raum

While most of us would agree that a dog’s life is quite nice, they still need some personal space.

At times they’re going to want to escape from the family chaos and retreat into their own little spot. Perhaps it’s a special spot in your home or your dog’s crate (read more about crates at: The Dog Crate – An Essential Part of Your Home). Make sure it’s comfortable, cozy and preferably den-like.

4. Babysicherheit ist nicht nur für Babys

Haustierfreundliches Haus

When you start to look at some things in the pet and baby departments, you’ll notice some cross-overs. For example, there are baby gates which are useful not just for babies but also for dogs.

There are play pens for babies and also for dogs. You’ve got diapers for babies and pee pads (which are essentially flat diapers) for puppies.

Most importantly, you want to make sure your babies and doggies cannot get to harmful chemicals or drugs.

Babies and doggies also tend to have their mouths on a lot of things you would prefer they avoid, so store things appropriately and avoid harsh chemical which they could potentially come in contact with.

5. Aufräumen - Ihr Hund wird es zu schätzen wissen

Haustierfreundliches Haus

Let’s say you’ve abided by tips 1 & 2 and have stored all those things away that you don’t want eaten or chewed. Next is to reduce the dirt and dust in your dog‘s life. Certain allergens, dirt and mold can affect your dog’s health and greatly decrease their quality of life. It’s probably not healthy for you either.

Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass, wenn Sie den Toilettensitz hochgeklappt lassen und einen Labrador (oder eine ähnlich große Rasse) haben, dieser wahrscheinlich irgendwann versuchen wird, aus der Toilette zu trinken, wenn Sie nicht aufpassen - halten wir die Schüssel sauber, wenn nicht für Sie, dann für Ihren besten Freund.

Abschließend sei gesagt, dass wir Ihnen nicht empfehlen, eine Art Ordnungsfanatiker zu werden. Mit einem Hund (oder Babys) wird das Leben definitiv ein bisschen chaotischer, aber das bringt auch viel Lachen und Liebe mit sich.
