How to get carpet back on tack strip?
Our giant puppy just decided to pull a big chunk of carpet (~ 4' long) off the tack strip and I'm not sure how to get it stuck back properly. It's a transition from tile to carpet.
Do I just need to get a knee kick and push it back into place or is there more to do? All the youtube videos I found weren't for a direct transition like this.

Knee kick it, then tuck with a putty knife or something
Kick it you may not need to rent a kicker, you might just be able to use your hands, hard to tell from that photo. Then use the but of a screwdriver to force it onto the tack strip then tuck the end under the base.
I have a cheap Harbor Freight kicker you can borrow, but not sure if it's worth your time to drive up for (I work in DTC)

A 2 foot chunk of 2x4, and a rubber mallet. Stretching is probably not necessary. Pull the carpet into position, set the 2x4 on edge over the tack strip, and bump it into place with the mallet.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Thanks for the help, 2x4 and putty knife did the trick and it looks as good as it did before.
