Puppy Training
Crates

Crates are one of the most useful puppy training tools.  Using a crate makes house training easier and keeps you stuff safe from puppy teeth.

Toys

Chew toys are another must have for new puppies. We use and recommend Kong toys - stuff them with tasty treats and use them as a puppy pacifier!

Collar & Leash

Start teaching your puppy to behave on leash right from the start to prevent future problems.

Grooming Supplies

No matter what kind of coat your puppy has, he will need to get used to some grooming procedures and again it is best to teach him to tolerate it from the start.

Training Class

Enroll your puppy in a good puppy training class. Our Puppy Steps program covers socialization, basic commands, house training advice, behavior problem solving and prevention advice and lots of excellent advice that will be useful throughout your puppy's life.
