I would do all the same things you do for a baby. Put up things that are small or easily broken, especially things that your pup could joke on. Find a way to close of your trash bins or put them in cabinets because they loooove the trash. Leave things out that you want him to play with, like his toys, so he begins to understand what's okay and not okay. Most of all you need to be patient with him and be willing to teach him what's acceptable. Just like babies they get into things. 90% of puppy/baby proofing is teaching whats okay and not okay and not leaving them unattended. The other 10% is putting up things that are dangerous. Good Luck! I'm sure your little guy will be fine!
