Puppy Proofing One's Home

We basically learned everything on the fly when it came to what puppies needed. My father use to bring home full grown dogs from shelters so I never had a puppy growing up. We did have to keep the carpet though until we had house broken our chow. We also had safety rails near the stairs installed for her when she was little as she slept on the 2nd floor in the kid's room. Now that she's bigger she can go up and down the stairs like a pro. We did keep breakable decors while she was a puppy and only recently put them back.
