Toys. The more the better! If they have plenty of appropriate toys and things to chew on they will be less likely to find inappropriate ones to chew on. Not to say that they still won’t be a naughty little puppy and chew up something that they shouldn’t but toys do definitely help, and puppies have very good taste- they go for the most expensive piece of furniture or antiques. There is also a difference between toys that they can have when they are alone and ones that they should have supervision with, if they can get any little pieces off or could possibly rip it they should not have it when they are alone. Good alone time toys are; hard chew toys, rope toys, balls, antler bones, raw bones, etc. Do not leave toys in crates while unattended. Take all collars and harnesses off when in crate.

A plush doggy bed to lay in is always appreciated. They love to have something soft and warm to snuggle in, after all they did have siblings to snuggle with while they were here. Some of my families have noted to me that they love the Snuggle Puppy. It helps puppy feel secure. Check it out if you want. You can buy them on Amazon. Anything for the little baby to feel safe and secure is worth the money spent! Make sure your puppy gets plenty of rest. Put them on a schedule. Let them learn to self soothe so you don’t create an anxiety ridden dog.
