You’ve moved into a new home or you’re ready to redecorate. You’ve found the perfect set of custom blinds that match your couches and your accent shelf. You’ve paid a handyman to put those blinds up, and you smile at the sight of them from inside and outside of your window.

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I want to continue promoting cool products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. As of the first date of Black History Month 2025, each new post will ALWAYS include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site to verify that Amazon Black-owned logo.) I am (slowly) doing this with older, popular posts too. If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.
A few days later, you come home to find that your dog has other plans — she’s chewed a hole right through one set and twisted the others in the opposite direction. It looks like you’ve let the Tasmanian Devil use your home as an Airbnb.

Whether you choose Cellular Shades, Pleated Shades, Vertical Blinds or Sliding Track Panel Blinds, two things have to happen — your dog has to get used to this new window treatment and you have to figure out a happy medium for your dog’s favorite hangout, the windows. If she likes to walk on the window sill like a pirate demanded she walk the plank, then keeping your blinds in place is going to take some patience and a few “no” and “leave it” commands.
