如何养狗友好的院子

If you have a dog, then you?ll no doubt be spending more time outside together in the coming months. One of the great reasons to own a home is to have a big backyard you can share with your pets. But what if your dog is a little destructive? Or worse, what if your dog likes to get into things that might not be safe? Here are our best tips for creating a backyard oasis that is friendly to your best friend.

避免有毒植物

It goes without saying that you should avoid using plants in your yard that are poisonous to dogs, especially if your dog is curious. But it isn?t always easy to know which plants are safe and which you need to stay away from. Some of the most common plants you should avoid include:

  • 毛地黄
  • 妈妈
  • 山谷里的百合
  • 虹膜
  • 英国常春藤
  • 喇叭花
  • 铁线莲
  • 秋海棠
  • 黄杨木

创建游乐区

没有人希望他们的狗践踏美丽的花坛。虽然有几种类型 威慑 out there, the best way to keep dogs out of beds is to provide interesting play areas. Does your dog love to dig? Then install a sand box that lets him dig until his little heart is content. Consider adding a water feature that your dog can play in on hot, sunny days. Is your dog a runner? Then make sure there?s a path or a large area for burning off all that extra energy.

使用犬类友好材料

Let?s face it ? even with the best design your dog is still likely to wander into areas you?d rather they stay out of. You can help yourself out by choosing plants and materials that will stand up to a little bit of abuse. Ornamental grasses are both soft and forgiving and can take a bit of a beating without looking shabby. In play areas and on paths choose materials that are safe for your dog?s paws, like bark mulch or flagstone. Avoid using cocoa mulch, which has the same chemical that makes chocolate toxic to dogs.

给他们一个阴凉处休息

Dogs can get sunburned just like people do. So it?s important to give them a shady spot where they can relax and get out of the sun. Dogs can also overheat easily, so it?s a must if you live in a hot climate. Give them some room under a shady tree, install a pretty arbor, or invest in a fun 狗窝。并始终确保他们在户外的任何时候都可以喝淡水。

确保他们安全

最后,确保您的狗无法从院子里逃脱。有时候,如果您的狗是跳线或喜欢挖洞,仅靠栅栏是不够的。将狗保持在其所属区域的一些创新想法是,用铁丝网创建地下障碍,在栅栏前面的地面上铺上难以挖掘的河石,或将光滑的材料用作胶合板等栅栏。
