New to this board!
We are getting a puppy in the next few weeks, we are going to meet him today he is a chihuahua/shitzu so only small, 4 year old DD literally cannot walk past a dog in the street saying 'AWWEE LOOK AT THAT CUTE LITTLE DOGGY' every. Single. Time. So we are very excited (she doesn't know yet)
What are the essential things for a puppy that I cannot think of?
So far in my head I have got;
Harness
Lead
Poop bag holder and bags
Feeding dishes
Puppy pads
Toys
Bed
Is it a necessity to have them in a crate? I don't like the idea of them really, I work PT and someone is pretty much in the house most of every day as me and OH work shifts around each other. We have a baby gate on the stairs already.
Also, what is the best age/way to start training?
Sorry if this was long and annoying but just want to give the little lad a great home as we have wanted a dog for a few years now.
