ok guys I need you to help me make sure I have everything in order. I bring Teagan my Westie pup home on Saturday and I am freaking giggly excited. She will be my first dog I train my myself so I want to make sure I do everything right. Now I hope I have everything I need to bring her home, and if I dont please tell me other wise or if I missed anything. I have read and re read Ian Dunbars book over and over and taken notes and I am going to be using his approach to training her and raising her.
I made a check list of everything I have for her
1) kennel
2) lots of dog toys and kongs
3) puppy pads
4) enzyme spray for when she makes mistakes
5) an X pen
I will be kennel training her at night, but durning the day she will have access to her X pen when I am at work. But someone is alway home durning the day to take her outside to pee.
When she gets her second shots I will be enrolling her is puppy classes, and getting her used to loads of different enviroments and people.
Anyother advice would be awesome. I want to make sure I am doing everything right. I dont want her to be my guinea pig. ha ha
Thanks again guys
