Aussiedoodle puppy checklist7/19/2023 ![]() Provide plenty of toys to carry around, retrieve with, and chew on. Same rules apply! Only place your leash on your puppy when they are under DIRECT supervision.Ĭhews + Chewable Toys - Ensure they are durable and non-edible. You will work on his leash training for short periods indoors and out, he/she will drag it, step on it, get it caught on things around the house, and learn that a tug on the leash is OK, nothing to worry about. Having a lightweight four to six foot leash to start out with will give them great beginning exposure to leash training. Your puppy will ONLY wear a collar when he/she is supervised! NEVER leave a collar on your puppy when you are not watching them as they can strangle themselves in the pen or crate. ![]() Enzyme cleaners are so important to eat up the urine smell so your pup doesn't end up peeing in the same place.Ĭollar and Leash - XS size collar + Training Leash - Puppies grow quickly, so we recommend having a couple small, lightweight, adjustable collars that are easy to snap on and off. ![]() Only wash their whole body if they got into the mud or something, keeping their skin supple and less dander with less washing! Paws will be washed more frequently.Įnzyme Cleaner - We love this brand available at Bone and Biscuit. Grooming Supplies - Slicker Brush + Hypoallergenic Shampoo - The more natural the better for your pup's skin. It works wonders with the crate training for your puppy! X Pen - This works great for when you want to partition off a part of your living space - keep their space small for house training. Washable Crate Pad or Bed - This is for inside the crate (we recommend a washable one), the more comfortable you can make the crate, the better crate training will go.ĭog Bed - This will be for outside the crate, can be a little more plush or have edges on it (again, we recommend a washable one). (Although the chest measurements for this harness are similar to those for our main pick, the Freedom No Pull’s open design accommodates dogs that weigh more.) 2 Hounds Design also offers lifetime replacements of the Freedom No Pull harness-including for chewing damage-for a fee that averages a third of the purchase cost.Wire Crate - we recommend a medium crate with partition, so they can grow into it. We also like the Freedom No Pull model for larger dogs because it’s sold in a wider range of sizes than our other picks, available for dogs weighing 14 to 250 pounds or with chests measuring 14 to 44 inches. Or, if you prefer, you can use the back attachment ring for a traditional walking experience. That lower attachment point grants dog owners greater control over their pets because it more evenly distributes the force of a dog’s movement. It has a belly strap behind the armpits and a horizontal attachment point along the lower chest, as on our top pick, rather than at the neck. The 2 Hounds Design Freedom No Pull Dog Harness is the harness we recommend for dog owners who want greater control over a rambunctious or large dog. ![]() No matter how strong of a grip you think you have on your 100-pound behemoth’s leash, there’s no planning for when they suddenly lunge at a cat darting across the street. Although Kurgo offers a lifetime warranty, that policy covers manufacturing defects only, and there’s a small fee to replace the harness if your dog chews through a strap. That’s a wide range of sizes, but it doesn’t account for all pets-both our tiniest and our largest testers couldn’t comfortably wear this harness, so we recommend our other picks if your pup is a size outlier. The Kurgo Tru-Fit harness fits dogs weighing 5 to 110 pounds or with chests measuring 12 to 44 inches. Its dual attachment points on the back and lower chest allow owners greater control over their dogs while on walks. And this harness is made of tough, durable materials that won’t easily pill, tear against sharp dog nails, or fray from normal pulling and play. The Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Dog Walking Harness stands out in part because it has a vest shape that doesn’t constrict a dog’s neck like a traditional harness does when someone tugs on the leash to get the dog’s attention away from, for example, a dashing rabbit or an enticing scent. ![]()
