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 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. 
Many families ask me what type of playpen I suggest. This one is my FAVORITE. There are no horizontal bars/slats. This makes it more difficult for puppies to scale it and escape. It also reduces the risk of a paw/leg getting stuck. I purchased mine YEARS ago and they're still in like-new condition because of the quality. No rusting. Easy to clean. Easy to set up. Durable. It's a little more expensive than others you'll find, but it lasts FOREVER! 
Definitely 5 stars from me!

When a dog has an accident, they tend to go back to that same spot to have another accident. When you clean up after your pet, they can still smell the urine. Using this product helps with that problem.
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).
These rugs are AMAZING! We keep on outside the door our dogs go in/out of. They trap dirt and absorb moisture off of wet paws.
​​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.

Our adults and babies LOVE these treats! They will have been introduced to them before leaving our home.

Young and old doodles all love the Kong Knot Toys! These have been the most durable toys we have found. 
The Chris Christensen brushes are a little more pricey than other brands. But, trust me, THEY ARE WORTH IT! They will save you SO MUCH time and frustration. And, if you're like me, you want to avoid the time spent holding a brush because of carpal tunnel pain :)
These clippers are great for sanitary grooming (hiney/ vulva/penis area) as well as trimming the hair around the paw pads.
This brush is designed to fluff curly, cottony coats. It has 30% more pins than the Big K brush. It's designed to penetrate long coats.
Doodle coats are more easily maintained with proper products. This brush is a great brush for the puppy coat.
This brush is great for removing knots and tangles in unruly coats. It thins and separates hairs within the coat for lift and volume.
Odds are your doodle will have matting at some point that you'll have to deal with. This tool is AMAZING! 
This doublewide dematting tool is another great addition to your grooming supplies. Again, doodles will likely have matting at some point. Having specialized tools is so helpful in correcting the coat :)
Nail care is important for all dogs. Long nails can affect a dog's posture. Also, long nails can retain mud/dirt.
Our groomer recommended this to use after baths. We started using it and we LOVE IT! It helps prevent/treat ear irritation that can be caused by various factors.


​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.
