Why should you create a dog nook?
Dog nooks may be trendy, but are they actually a good idea? While the final decision always depends on your dog, if you have the space and the inclination, there are a few reason why creating a designated nook is a great idea.
A nook fulfills a natural desire for a den
In the wild, dogs dig or seek out dens for security. In the home, a dedicated nook can replace a den, giving your dog a safe, relaxing space.
A nook can reduce anxiety and stress
If you have an anxious or overstimulated dog, a nook is a secure, isolated space where they can retreat when they’re feeling overwhelmed.
A nook can enhance and complement your decor
A dedicated dog room doesn’t have to clash with the rest of your home. Instead, you can hide or strategically design your nook to blend in with your design decisions.
