How Dog Owners Can Keep Their Homes Clean

Dogs make a home. They can also make a mess in a home. Chew toys, food spills, dirty paws, fights with furniture, and accidents can turn your lovely abode into a dump overnight. Here are some tips to help maintain a well-groomed home to match your well-groomed dog.

Implement Access Control

Pet owners cannot be home 24 hours a day to give their pet constant attention, and that’s often when the mess is made. It can be helpful to keep your pet in a particular area of the house when you go out. A gate can be installed to keep your pet in a particular room or area. Gates are available at pet stores or online retailers, and will help you protect your home and your pet.

It may not be possible to install a gate. A cage that is big enough for your dog to move around comfortably could be a solution. Veterinarians deal with many people, dogs and situations. Your vet may have a novel solution that suits your home.

Smells and Stains May Chase Friends Away

If you have lived with your pet for a while, their unique scent becomes impossible for you to detect. Not so for your family and friends. Before you spend an evening watching your mother-in-law cover her face with a hanky, it’s time to do the smell test.

You cannot do the smell test, so it’s time to bring in your most honest, forthright friend. Ask them into your home and have them smell each room - and be brutally honest. If they can smell the lingering scent of eau de dog, you need to take action.

Begin by opening the windows to allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. If the odor is new and seems to originate from a specific location, that is a pretty good sign that your dog has had an accident. If the area is still damp, blot it with absorbent paper straight away. The best cleaner is one designed specifically for pet odors, but a disinfectant spray will work in a pinch. Baking soda sprinkled on the spot absorbs both the moisture and the odors and can be vacuumed up once dry. Everyday air fresheners will only cover up the smell for a short while. {If an accident is the source of the odor, you will need to blot the area if it is still damp.

Remember - You Are the Boss

If you are still struggling to control your pet and the gate or cage are not helping, it may be time for you to take charge. You are the boss - or in dog-speak, the leader of the pack. Obedience training can help you take control of your home and your pet.
