Enrichment and treats

Kongs are the ultimate enrichment treat. Fill with your dog's kibble, peanut butter, yogurt and freeze. Super easy to use and I put mine in the dishwasher to clean.

You'll want a pen that can be attached to the crate so your puppy can move around but still be safe in your home. This is also helpful to have later when trying to separte your dog from other areas in the house (such as a christmas tree)
