Are dogs and gardens compatible? Of course! But some things have to be done to make it happen. For this reason, if you live with a four-legged furry and you would also like him to enjoy the outdoors like you, follow the advice we offer you below.
Because we want the whole family to have a good time, we are going to tell you how to maintain a garden with dogs.
Take your dog for a daily walk
Dogs are animals that need to get out for exercise every day. Although our land is very large, nothing will be as stimulating as a walk or several. This is the only way to avoid digging holes and destroying plants to a great extent. So, it is important that each outing lasts at least 30 minutes and that you go at a brisk pace or even with the bicycle.
Protect your plants
Especially if it is a puppy or if it is a very nervous dog, it is important to protect the most vulnerable plants, such as those that have been planted in the ground for a short time and those in the garden. For that end we can use wire mesh (grids) attached to tutors well anchored in the ground.
Create a play area for the furry
Play for dogs is very, very important. Not only does it help them stay in shape, but they also use it to get closer to their family. So that, We advise reserving a space in the garden so that we can play with it.
Don't put toxic plants
There are a number of plants that are toxic to dogs. For your own good it is essential not to put any of them and, in the event that we already have one, protect it with metallic cloth or remove it to avoid problems arising.
Reserve an area where you go to relieve yourself
Dogs prefer to relieve themselves on the dirt rather than on gravel or newspaper, therefore, From the first day they arrive home we will have to take them to the same area of the garden where they go to relieve themselves.. Little by little he will only learn to go there.
We hope they have been useful to you 🙂.
