- Playpen: Vibrant Life 8-Panel Pet Exercise Play Pen with Door, 36″H is recommended. A Toddler Playpen can work well, too!!
- Water + Food bowls. Auto-water bowl is the best to prevent spilling!
- Soft Walking Harness, smaller breed puppies should not be walked on a collar and leash, because they have soft tracheas. A harness and leash is a much better option.
- Dog bed
- Chew toys (Nylabones and kongs are my favorite.)
- Odoban enzymatic spray cleaner for any accidents (available at Sam’s Club).
- A hairbrush & steel tooth comb (I will provide a plastic tooth comb in the puppy pack).
- Baby shampoo for bathing.
- Crate with a divider to section off space as the puppy grows and continue potty training. (32″ inch crate for amble space as an adult.)
- Training treat pouch (generally attached to pocket or belt for quick rewards!)
- Training treats, something small and bite sized. I really like soft cat treats as rewards for smaller dogs! It is really good advice to just use a portion of their kibble and allotted meal as training rewards!
- A dog car hammock + car barrier for car trips.
- Reusable puppy pads. For reusable puppy pads, you can order ‘waterproof Medical bed pads’ as an alternative, and are typically larger in size. (Do not order this item if you plan immediately to do strict outdoor potty training)
- Turf patch (Available locally at Home Depot, very large and can be used outdoors on a patio, or cut into squares and added to a plastic tray)
- Indoor turf potty patch. (optional) These can be pretty helpful for patios and even indoors, to continue building an association with grass and pottying. Available on Amazon.
- Trimmers: You may want to own a pair of electric trimmers to keep their paws, face, and fanny trimmed in between visits to the groomer. A simple beard trimmer does the job, and is perfect for in between toes, and around the eye area.
