Organization of living space for a puppy
Organization of living space directly affects the physiological and psychological well-being of dogs. And it is in our power to create comfortable conditions for the pet.

What does a puppy need
- Sunbed. It can be a mattress (rag or straw), a small rug, a plastic or wooden box (the sides should be low), an oval basket, a house or a special bed that is sold at a pet store. Mandatory condition: the dog must be able to stretch to its full height. If you use a box, a litter must be placed on the bottom.
- Toys made of durable plastic or special rubber. Toys must be safe so that the dog cannot get hurt by chewing them, swallow something inedible or choke.
- Bowls, separate for food and for food. It is better to use stands for feeding so that the puppy does not lower his head below the level of the withers, otherwise he can swallow air, which is fraught with colic.
- Food is high quality, made from natural ingredients.
- Goodies.
Puppy Living Space Organization: Safety First
Before the puppy appears, carefully inspect the room. All wires must be removed – after all, it is difficult for a puppy to resist them! Outdoor tubs with plants are best placed on an elevation that is inaccessible to the baby. Also remove all cleaning products and detergents from the puppy’s access area. Make sure that small objects that the dog can swallow or choke on do not lie on the floor.
Zoning a room for a puppy
The first zone is the home of the puppy. There the baby rests and sleeps. Here is his sleeping place. Even a small puppy in this zone does not relieve itself. It should be a quiet, secluded place, away from drafts and noise, away from the battery. The second zone is the territory of games and pranks. There the puppy makes noise, runs, has fun. The third zone is a place where the puppy can go to the toilet. Newspapers or diapers are placed there, which are changed as they get dirty. If you are accustoming a puppy to a cage, do not lock him in it for a long time. We must not allow him to recover there, and it is difficult for a baby to endure. Therefore, put your pet there only when he has already gone to the toilet.
