Getting a new dog or puppy? This is simply a list of the gear I would buy to be prepared. This list goes well with a pre-puppy consult.
For resting at home- I would get a crate (check the size!), a bed, and some chew toys. Check the size on the kongs and also whether you want a puppy kong or an adult kong. Puppy kong are for before about five months old.
For outside - you'll need something for your dog to wear while walking (the harness, check the size!) and for running (the longline). Your new dog won't be able to go off-leash yet so the longline is a lifesaver! Check the size. I like the 1/2", 33 foot long one.
Treats for Training are also for outside!
Training - whether you use a clicker or not, you will need some way to at least pay your dog. Treats? Toys? Pick up some options for how you will reinforce
Ways to keep your dog busy!
Books to Buy to raise a good dog! Choose a puppy book or a rescued dog book- either way, these will get you where you need to be for training, living together, and good manners.
Clean Up - because there's an adjustment period for every animal and you want to be prepared.
