Why Artificial Grass is Safer for Puppies in Training

Training your new puppy can be rather challenging. One of the hardest aspects is potty training. Most dogs are trained to use the bathroom in their backyard, and having a consistent, comfortable surface in this area can help make potty training much easier. This is why many pet owners are turning to artificial grass for pets. Synthetic turf installation can help make your backyard safer and more even for puppies by offering a controlled environment for them to play and train. Whether you are training your dog to respond to new commands or are potty training them, artificial grass can help immensely. Contact Echoing Green today to get started!

Consistent Surface Reduces Confusion

Standard backyards usually contain natural grass which is usable; however, these tend to vary significantly in terms of texture, altitude and even scent, which can make training more difficult. Overall, training puppies is much easier under consistent conditions, and artificial grass can help provide an even, consistent surface for puppies to play, potty and train on.

Fewer Chemicals and Fertilizers

Dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they can be turned off by the strong scent of chemicals and fertilizers that are often used to maintain natural grass. This can make dogs more resistant to training efforts. Artificial grass for pets is extremely low maintenance and doesn’t require harsh chemicals. This will reduce any pungent odours, making your pets more receptive to training efforts. 

Harsh chemicals can also be dangerous for dogs, especially new puppies. As you play and dig in your yard, they could ingest some, negatively impacting their health. This once again demonstrates why artificial grass is safer. 

No Mud or Dirt = Reduced Risk of Infections

As dogs begin to train and play in your backyard, they are bound to get messy on natural grass. Dogs have a natural affinity for digging and end up kicking up a lot of mud and dirt in backyards. Exposure to high volumes of mud can also expose your pets to bacteria that can cause infections or illness. At Echoing Green, our artificial grass for pets is uniquely designed to be dig-proof; this way, even the most rambunctious dogs cannot tear through it. Additionally, artificial grass is not installed directly over dirt, so even if a larger dog manages to dig up fake grass, they won’t be exposed to dirt. 

Reduced Exposure to Ticks, Fleas, and Other Pests

Natural grass can harbour pests like ticks, fleas, and mites, posing health risks to young, vulnerable puppies. Artificial grass eliminates the organic material in which these pests thrive, drastically reducing their presence. This means fewer chances of bites, skin irritation, or parasite-borne diseases during training and play.

Choose the Safer Option for Your Pets

Training your new puppy does not have to be challenging when you install artificial grass for pets. Not only is it easier to train young pets, but artificial grass also makes training your new puppies much safer and more hygienic.
