Dog Training Help - The Basics You Need Before You Bring Puppy Home

What does the stuff you need for puppy have to do with Dog Training Help? You may well ask the question. Well you have to set the stage for a stable and comfortable environment for puppy so it will make dog training easier. If you are organized and have everything in place it is easier to teach puppy exactly what is allowed and what not. So getting all you need for puppy is essential as part of puppy’s training.

What are the basics you need?

  1. A crate, which will be big enough when puppy is fully grown, with a divider to make it more comfortable for puppy while he is still small.
  2. Baby gates to close off play areas or forbidden areas.
  3. Leashes, for now buy a lightweight nylon leash and an expandable leash. Later you can get another leash, for now puppy is still small and must have a lightweight leash.
  4. Bowls, buy three bowls, one for food and two for water; place one in the toilet to discourage bowl sipping.
  5. Bedding, puppy will be happy with a simple bed and an old shirt or towel.
  6. Food, decide on the food in advance, I suggest that you ask your vet for recommendations and that you do some surfing so that you can make a knowledgeable choice.
  7. A collar and tag.
  8. Toys, do not buy too many toys as it will only confuse puppy. Resist the temptation to give puppy old shoes etc. as toys, this will establish bad habits.

This is only a short summary of the basics you need. In SitStayFetch you will get all the information you need for successful dog training from choosing a puppy onwards. For all the dog training help you need I can really recommend SitStayFetch.
