You need a dog leash to keep your dog under control and prevent it straying and getting lost - particularly a puppy.Elizabeth_B said:
I would like to share my experience with NomNomNow food. All of my buddys' loved it. and Dog Harness for your dog. say NO to dog leash. Dog Leash is harmful for pup.RichardGB said:Don't waste money on expensive toys (you will, though!). Empty plastic juice/milk bottles are great fun for puppies. The most important thing you can give a new puppy is your time and love when the initial gloss has worn off. Good dog/puppy training courses get booked up in advance. Enquire now, visit and book your place if it looks a good course. We chose a vet 15 minutes away from where we live, partly because it ran regular puppy socialising courses, even though there was another vet 50 metres from our front door! Be prepared for puddles and poo while you are house training your puppy: it's just like a baby and can't control it's bodily functions to start with. Then it has to be trained with praise and rewards for doing it outside when it can. Again, this is where time and love come it. No good having a puppy and going out to work all day. If that's your situation, a puppy will be very wrong for you; please change your mind now.

            Does anybody know what is the cheapest solution for flea control in puppies? I use flea color on my big dog, but my puppy is going to overgrown it in a month
