CRATE
Crates are great for potty training and we suggest getting a large one with a divider and adjust it down when they are small to prevent accidents and then remove the divider as they grow. We like the one with the door that slides open to the top, this eliminates a door from being open and in the way.
EXERCISE PEN
It is also nice to have a place for them to play and be confined while you are busy doing things around the house and you can even attach the crate to create their own little area. Some put the crate inside the pen but a couple zip ties and you can attach the panel to the crate. We like the heavy duty pen and worth the extra money, the panels are more stable. We suggest 32" height or taller pens, this will suffice for when they are grown.
BEDS
Beds, they love anything soft and furry. The bolster beds are their favorites. This is the brand we have in their pen since birth...we wash and dry it several times and it holds up
well. This is a larger size 30 inch and probably would not last them long as far as size. However the Best Friends by Sheri is a good quality brand but any bolster bed will do.
ELEPHANT SNUGLE MAT
Often people ask where we got the elephant, the elephant has lasted several washes through several litters so we thought we would share.
CRIB MATTRESS COVER
For those "Chewers" that cannot be trusted and will rip the stuffing out of every bed. We have found that using a baby crib mattress for our adult dogs and putting a washable cover on it works great!! They love the room and they do not attempt to rip it apart. The covers can be purchased at Molly Mutt
COLLAR AND LEASH
We like the collars that have a metal buckle, they are easy on and off and if you have multiple dogs they cannot chew them and break them like the plastic buckles.
Puppy collar and leash: 10-14 inches adjustable neck, thin 5/8 in collar and 3/8 in leash are perfect/lightweight and less distractions when leash training. They won't even notice its there. STAY WITH A TINY COLLAR AND LEASH STARTING OUT!
Adult size will use the X-Large collar that adjusts from 18-26 inches, this is a 1 inch wide collar and the leash below would also be 1 inch wide/6ft long.
