Hello, human.

It’s me — President of the Good Habits Club, supplement enthusiast, and master of zoomies. I see you’ve got a new pup in the house (congrats!) or maybe you’re thinking of getting one. Either way, I'm here to help you survive the gnaw phase with your dignity, couch, and socks intact.

Today’s topic? Puppy-proofing your home — aka turning your house into a safe haven instead of a chew toy showroom.

Let’s wag into it, shall we?

From My Chewy Perspective…

When I was a young pup (a whopping 3.5 kilos of chaotic good), I thought everything was food. Cords? Noodles. Shoes? Aged leather jerky. Mum’s houseplants? A salad bar of regret.

It’s not that I was being naughty. I was just curious. And teething. And a bit of a lovable menace.

So trust me when I say: puppy-proofing isn't about being strict — it’s about setting us up for success. Or at least… fewer vet visits.

Trainer Tips: The Big Three

1. Think Like a Pup

Get down on your hands and knees. No, really. It’s not just a TikTok trend. Look around from ground level. What can we reach? What can we nibble? That dangling phone charger? Prime tug material.

2. Block & Swap

Block off danger zones (hellooo baby gates), but don’t just take things away — offer better options. If we can’t chew your shoe, give us a treat-stuffed toy instead. That’s called positive redirection and it's a habit-forming hero move.

3. Keep Supplements High (but Habits Daily)

Store our Porkie Pie supplements out of reach, but build the habit into your routine. Pair it with your morning coffee or evening wind-down. Good habits for you = bright eyes, shiny coat, happy tum for us.

My Puppy-Proof Checklist

Cords & wires? Hidden or taped down.

Shoes? In the cupboard (unless you want us to choose your left sneaker as our BFF).

Toxic plants? Out of reach or better yet, out of the house.

Supplements? Stored high, but given daily like clockwork.

Garbage bins? Secured tighter than your weekend plans.

Join the Good Habits Club (We Have Treats)

Listen, I know your life is busy — but here’s the thing: your habits become our future. Daily supplements? They protect our joints, boost our digestion, and support those epic tail wags. Puppy-proofing? It keeps us safe while we learn the ropes (and the difference between a chew toy and your MacBook charger).

So welcome to the Good Habits Club, where little rituals make big impacts. And where dogs like me write blogs because no one’s pausing us.

Stay noble, stay weird,
