We have bought and toss/donated a few different water dispensers over the decades. We had a fountain for years but it was a struggle to keep clean and we gave up. We had trouble with a few dispenser water bowls with the screw tops breaking, or making a mess when we invert the bottles.

This bowl has lasted a long time and is made of durable, thick plastic. I also love how water doesn't release until it is in place in the bowl.....no more mess!

I have had a few families rave about this awesome toy. The Snuggle Puppy toy has a heartbeat that calms, by naturally mimicking a mother and litter mates. It also includes a heat packs to warm the toy to mimic sleeping with litter mates.

I've used the wire crates as I liked how they had the adjustable divider and the removable pans. However, I've been woken up twice from a screaming pup that got themselves stuck between the wires and it's a terrifying experience! I'm lucky it was at night and not while we were out, and thankfully both pups were not injured.

After research, I realized this is a common problem with wire crates and puppies have been injured. Hence I recommend getting a hard sided kennel for kennel training your pup during the night, while you leave your home, or while you are unable to watch the pup.

Inside/outside customized 8-panel or 16-panel play pen. We use this for our whelping box and puppy play pen and love it! It can be bought in 32" or 40" height options as various # of panels, then configured however you want it inside or outside. Other than an indoor playpen option, I know a few families who have used it to fence their yard, or take it camping.

This indoor/outdoor playpen is AMAZING. It folds like a paper fan and is quick to set up, take down, transport and stores easily. We have 2 sets and take it with us when traveling with the dogs.  It also serves as playpens around the house and our yard.

These waterproof, non-slid mats are great to protect your flooring, furniture, vehicles, and/or beds. They even work great by the doors as a floor mat during bad weather.  They are offered in 3 different sizes and are very high quality compared to others I have seen. I'm very pleased with them.

Soft, waterproof blankets are great for dog kennels or covering couches/dog beds. Get a few for when they are soiled.

Our favorite dog collar is Blueberry Pet. It's well made, there are several cute options available (we love the reflective versions), and we love how it has an ID tag connector that is separate from the leash connectors.  DON'T FORGET  TO GET AN ID TAG!

Achieve control of your dog while protecting it's neck by using a harness while walking.  Look for ones that are fully adjustable, padded for comfort, connections at the back and front, and have a easy control handle.

I've been using Folex to remove stains from my carpet and furniture for over 20 years and it has never failed me! I typically grab a gallon of the stuff and then refill the spray bottles. It also works great in carpet shampooers.

You can also buy it at the grocery and hardware stores.

This stuff really does work! Eliminate the urine odors from accidents and help prevent future accidents in the same location. You can also find it at the pet stores.

Pups sometimes find it difficult to learn how to notify their family they have to go outside.  If you fail to notice their need, they'll just go indoors and its a miss oppurtunity to be consistent with the outdoor training.

Training with a potty door bell are sooooo easy for pups to learn, and it is easy for their humans to hear! These are high quality and come in an array of colors to choose from. We love it!

This is our 3rd type of door dog and we love this one the best!  It is designed for energy efficiency and seals against 50 mph winds and resists temperatures as low as -40 degrees F.  We sit right next to ours and you cannot feel a draft or the cold.  AMAZING! Comes in 4 sizes and wall vs door installation options.
