Crates and Bedding

Many stuffed "beds" at local pet stores, feed stores and even Walmart are not chew proof and will be ripped apart in a matter of minutes leaving you with an explosion of stuffing to clean up. Bully Beds and Kuranda are durable and are backed with a warranty/guarantee.

We start all of our puppies on crate training at an early age. We highly recommend continuing crate training when you get your puppy home. A crate can be a safe haven for your puppy. It can become their own personal space and will keep your puppy out of trouble when you are unable to supervise or need to run out for a few errands. 
We start with 24 inches for our puppies. Our adults sleep in 36 or 42 inch crates. Many wire crates come with dividers. You can order an adult size and move the divider as your puppy grows. 

Wire Crate Suggestions:
Amazon
Chewy
Petsmart

Travel Crate Suggestions:

Treats

We consider treats a training reward. Our personal puppies must perform a task to receive a treat such as sit, stay/wait, come, etc. Treats in excess will cause extreme weight gain and would lead to many problems like dysplasia, cancer and heart problems. Please refrain from giving your puppy too many treats. A simple training treat/reward can be a puppy's dog food and is an easy way to make meal time fun. A few training treats are listed below. The suggested brands can be found in a variety of flavors!
