You Have a New Puppy!
Congratulations on your up coming new lively and loving Australian terrier ! To help you prepare, I recommend considering the following essential items:
- Crates: Start with a small crate for your puppy and have a larger one ready that they can grow into.
- Exercise Pen: An 8-panel pen (36” high) is ideal for an Australian Terrier.
- Linoleum, an end of roll or cut to size: Place this under the exercise pen to protect your floors during the early days of house training. Tape down. Should be larger than x pen.
- Durable Tug Toys: Great for play and bonding.
- Baby Collar and Leash: Keep in mind your puppy will outgrow these within a few months.
- Next Collar: Upgrade to a Martingale collar, which combines a chain and fabric for safety and control.
- Chew Sticks (Large): Help satisfy your puppy’s chewing needs.
- Beef Tendons: These are a favorite for puppies but tend to lose appeal as they mature and aren’t ideal for long-term dental health.
- House Training Materials: Review these repeatedly to stay consistent with house-training. No one likes a puppy doing its biz in the house – focus on this training right away.
