Caring with clear leadership
Bowls
You will need two dog bowls- one for food and the other for water.
Your dog always needs fresh water available, choose one that is heavy enough so it can't be knocked over. It must be big enough to last while ever you are away.
If the water bowl is going to be in the hot sun part of the day, try and have a second bowl that would be in the shade at that time.
The food bowl must be heavy enough so the dog can easily get the food out.
Kennels and Crates
Your dog will need a comfortable home to feel safe and secure in. There are many to choose from that will fit your home decor and lifestyle.
Make sure you get one that will be big enough once your dog has grown up.
Think about your dogs needs-
Kennel- Is it weatherproof and dry? Is it durable? A boisterous puppy will make short work of a flimsy kennel.
Traveling- Plastic and foldable crates will be easier to transport.
Is there enough air circulation in Summer and warm enough in winter?
The wire play pen was great for keeping Wilbur in a safe place when we were too busy to keep an eye on him.
What type of mattress? We use a Rogz Pod and have found them to be extremely durable.
A kennel with a removable door will be handy if you travel and is also a great aid in teaching toilet training
