Puppy Basics
Crate:
Food and Water Bowls:
Dog Bed:
Exercise Pen:
ID Tag & Collar:
Your puppy will come with a basic puppy collar but will need a larger one to grow into. Many people are surprised by how small the puppy is at pick up. Usually the puppy fits into an XS- S size collar (approximately 8-12 inches) at 8 weeks of age.
Exercise Pens are great for giving your puppy a defined space to be active. We give our puppies a set up with their crate surrounded by an exercise pen. This is perfect for when you leave the puppy at home… we find they often nap in their crate and come out to play while they’re awake and active!
Leash:
Keep your puppy on a leash at all times when out and about as he/she adjusts. Once you develop a bond and trust with your puppy, you can begin off-leash training.
