This is the crate that we recommend you purchase to begin crate training and housebreaking. The smaller crate typically results in less accidents. Placing your new puppy in a larger crate will allow for more space for the puppy to move around. This would make it more tempting for the puppy to potty in their crate because they have room to avoid the mess they've made. Puppies don't want to potty in the area in which they will be sitting/standing. There are large crates available with dividers. This will still give the puppy a sense of space-causing them to have accidents.

We have found these to be the most durable puppy pads. These are very helpful when the puppy is confined to a small area(we confine ours to a small room while housebreaking if they won't be heavily supervised).

​We use this baby gate to confine the puppy to a small area while it's not under close supervision. We have found this gate to be the most sturdy.

Here's another Kong favorite. There are very few "indestructible" toys. These have held up quite well!

Doodle coats are more easily maintained with proper products. This brush is a great brush for the puppy coat.

We really like the orthopedic dog beds. They hold up really well and our dogs LOVE them. A tip for new puppies...remove the foam pad from the inside, wrap it in a trash bag, and then place it back in the zipper cover. If the puppy has an accident on the bed, your foam pad is now water(pee-pee) proof!

This ear rinse is great to use after bathing. Ears may become irritated after bathing because water gets trapped in the canal. This helps flush out all wax, debris, and other irritants.

We highly recommend NuVet supplements for the life of your new family member. The wafers and the joint supplement are a great product to give your doodle. Please read more on our "what to expect after placing a deposit" page.

These biscuits are great for the puppies. We recommend breaking them into smaller pieces according to puppy size.
We have had GREAT results with TLC Puppy Food. We recommend feeding the "puppy food" until 1 year old for our doodles that will mature to under 60 lbs. We recommend switching to "dog food" sooner for doodles that will mature to greater than 60 lbs. This switch will typically occur at 8 months for our larger dogs. You can visit the "TLC Dogfood" page on this site to read more about why we chose this specific brand.
