She is a whippet/staffy cross. She'll have been spayed, vaccinated, chipped etc. Crate-trained so we'll get a crate although will hopefully phase it out eventually (We have 2 cats so it will be useful). We're planning to have the crate in the bedroom to give the cats free range at night and also we're getting stair gates. She's not been walked and is very nervous outside so will need confidence building - are harnesses generally better than lead and collar? Planning on plenty of toys. What else? We're really excited and want to be good owners and get it right for her (she'd been passed around a lot apparently). I'm also looking into positive reinforcement training classes and will get her insured.
Any other words of wisdom appreciated!
