    3 Tips for Keeping Your Dog Safe on Your Homestead

    By johncash | Country Girl | 0 comment | 29 July, 2019 | 0

    There are so many different benefits of living on your own homestead property. You get to seclude yourself from so many of the distractions that occur in a more populated area. Not to mention, you probably have a beautiful view of nature all around you that you can enjoy on a daily basis. A rewarding experience, there are many things you’ll need when you are maintaining a homestead. A dog is a great best friend to accompany you every day wherever you go, but a dog can also offer you a form of protection if there is a wild animal creeping nearby. Here are three tips for keeping your dog safe on your homestead so you can provide them with the same care they give you.

    Keep Them Restrained in Vehicles

    When you’re doing basic hiking on your property or simple yard work, your dog is typically safe to roam. However, when you are using heavy machinery or there is danger nearby, then you might want to think about restraining your dog in a vehicle. According to Orvis, restraining your dog in a vehicle can help them from becoming a projectile if you get into an accident. You can let them loose again when things are safer. Just be sure you aren’t keeping them locked in a hot vehicle so they can get air.

    Socialize Them Well

    According to Cagle Law Firm, it is the dog owner’s responsibility to make sure their dog is safe to be around people. You don’t want your dog to bite someone. You can help by getting them plenty of socialization with other people and pets. They should also be able to follow your simple commands that you give them to sit, stay, etc.

    Bring Them In at Night

    It can be tempting to let your dog sleep outside at night when it’s warm. They might have a favorite spot on the porch or nearby in the yard. You have to take into account the predators that are in the area in the night hours. Your beloved dog could be snoozing away and be attacked by a much larger animal. Terra Ceia Bay suggests having a safe place inside the home that they can stay. You can even let them stay in a barn if that’s something they prefer, as long as it’s locked up and safe at night.

    A dog is known as man’s best friend, but a dog can also provide you with assistance and protection on your homestead. Take the necessary steps to keep your dog protected as well. This will ensure that your dog will be happy and safe while spending time on your homestead.
