If you’re considering welcoming a pooch to the family then you’ll need to make some small changes as a curious dog may ruin that perfect garden of yours.
- Dogs love adventure and they love to search and explore every inch of your garden. With this, try to make stone paths or use pavers, also make sure there’s no bare soil as this will be too tempting for any mischievous dog to dig!
- Try not to make it too nice for a curious pup; you can still own a veggie garden, provided that you separate it with a fence so your dog can’t ruin it. When choosing plants, stay away from thorny kinds and the poisonous ones too.
- Dogs jump fences for many reasons. Freedom, seeking a mate or just to see what’s on the other side. Often when they’ve jumped the fence he’ll just be waiting on the other side. Nevertheless, the height of your fence is important, here is a guide: 1.2 metres for small dogs and 1.5 – 1.8 metres for large and athletics dogs.
- Your dogs need to lie down and rest like you, make sure there is a shady spot and fresh tap water is readily available to quench his or her thirst.
If you work long hours, and have no one to keep an eye on your pooch, why not hire a dog minder or dog walker to keep your pooch busy. Not only will this lessen damage done on your garden but will keep your dog happy and in tip top shape.
