Transform your yard into a safe, fun haven for your furry friend. Follow these steps to dog-proof and design an outdoor space they’ll love:
Secure the Perimeter
Install sturdy fencing at least 4 feet tall (or higher for jumpers). Check for gaps or loose boards every month.
Create a Shaded Retreat
Set up a covered area—like a patio or doghouse—so your pup can cool off. Add outdoor-friendly bedding for extra comfort.
Pet-Safe Landscaping
Avoid toxic plants (azaleas, lilies). Opt for grass, clover or hardy groundcovers that can withstand digging.
Designated Potty Zone
Choose a gravel or mulch spot and train your dog to use it. Keeps the rest of the yard clean and odor-free.
Fun & Enrichment
Install a doggie playset or hide treats in puzzle feeders. Rotate toys weekly to keep things fresh.
With these upgrades, your backyard will be a tail-wagging paradise that’s both safe and stimulating.
