When you bring a puppy home it becomes your family member. Just like we welcome newborn babies this puppy also becomes an object of fascination. We try to give our best to make the puppy comfortable from showering love and care to giving food and pampering. The puppy also gets used to it. They also give us love and loyalty in return. They give us their trust and unconditional love. We get a feeling of completeness from them. Don’t you think they deserve something extraordinary? We buy toys for our children. What if we try to make some interesting DIY puppy projects? A hand-woven toy, scratchboard, or a raised food table will be something very precious for our bundle of joy. Don’t let all your money get transferred to the pet store owner. Let’s try some unique things.
- Make a bone for your foodie
Make a toy bone for your foodie puppy. Let it chew as long as he wants. To add more fun, stuff it with beads and beans and enjoy the rattling sound. Younger ones are fond of this. You can tame their addiction in this way. You can make it out of soft cloth or wool. Use material that doesn’t tear easily and can withstand the canine jab. But do keep a watch. If there is a whole and the beans pop out, take it away. It can be deadly for your puppy.
- Make his sleep more comfortable
Pets are snorers. Allow them to sleep for 10-12 hours. Pamper them with a cozy bed. If you have a spare vintage suitcase, stuff it with cotton, cushion or pillow. If it’s soft and plush he will snuggle on it and pounce too. Set it at the corner so that he can recline on the wall. Make it colorful for a more attractive look. If you are fond of home décor, pair it with your room color. See him fast asleep in his cozy bed and dig some joy out of it. Isn’t it a lovely DIY puppy project?
- Save your slippers from being chewed up
Puppies have the habit of chewing up things. Be it your slipper or doormat you can find them half-eaten at any point in time. Keep different toys so that your accessories are saved from his canine. What about making a dog toy out of your old tees? Cut the tees into strips. Make a minimum of 18 strips. You can add on if you want a thicker one. Take 3 strips and give a knot. Make a braid and end with a knot. 6 such braids will be made out of 18 strips. Now make one thick braid out of these 6 braids. A soft yet solid toy is ready for your dear dog.
- A bowl table can fix the problem of knocking and spilling
It is hard to read the mood of your canine companion and yes they are not your children. You cannot scold them and tame them. They often kick out their food bowl and topple their water pot.
