If steps like blocking off staircases or removing items that may seem chew-worthy are necessary, do these ahead of time. Additionally, you should fence in an outdoor area so that your pet can play and exercise safely. You'll also want to have the right supplies on hand. This includes food and water dishes, age-appropriate toys, a comfortable bed, and a collar and leash for when walking your new Dachshund.
