I would 100% recommend crate training your dog! We had this one and our dog loved it. It folds up nice for storage or travel and the liner inside is super easy to clean if they have an accident.
Midwest iCrate Single Door Folding Dog Crate, 18" L X 12" W X 14" H
This is great if you need to get things done while you have a puppy. We would keep our puppy in this while we were cooking or working and just put his cage, bowls, bed, and toys to keep him busy. Now that he is a little older now we use this to block...
Midwest Black E-Coat Exercise Pen w/Door for Dogs, 48"H
We put this in our dogs crate and he loves it. He would just go in his crate during the day to take a nap all the time. It is also super easy to wash, we just throw it in the washer and dryer and its clean.

We put this outside of his crate and he still naps in it even though his head hangs off the edge. He loves to curl up and push himself against the sides.

Obviously accidents do happen no matter how much you take them out or how well they are doing on potty training. This works amazing removing the stains and odor. It also dosen't take very long to work which is a big plus.

After a couple of times feeding him we realized we probably need to slow him down while he is eating. We got these bowls from Walmart and they have worked great so far.
Dog Slow Feeder Dog Water and Food Bowls Stainless Steel Bowls Non Slip Anti Skid Pet Puppys for Small Medium
I don't think you should use this right away but once they get more daring and you want to train them outside better this is a great option. I love that it has a beep, vibrate, and shock option and that you can change the levels and sound of everythi...

Treats & Toys
This will keep our dog busy for a long time. I think we own 3 different shapes. If we put a new set of rings in the toy he will sit and chew on it non stop. These are by far one of his favorite toys.

These are the rings treats that go into the PetSafe Busy Buddy. He likes the original and peanut butter flavors.

Cadet Stuffed Shin Bone Peanut Butter Dog Treat - 3-4" - 6oz
This is his favorite ball by far. He loves it because even when he was little he could make it squeak on his own. He was quite literally toss this ball around by himself if no one can play with him.
Hartz Dura Play Ball Dog Toy, Medium
Our puppy loved lick mats (and still does) so we would make him one once a day. This was a great way to keep him entertained for a while and stimulate his mind. I like this one in particular because it has the suction cups on the back so it wont slid...
Well & Good Lickable Dog Bath Mat, 8" L X 5" W
Our dog loves anything DreamBone but especially the twist. He will not stop chewing until he is done with the bone. This is also a treat that we would possibly give him before we leave to distract him a little bit.
DreamBone Twist Sticks with Chicken and Vegetable Flavor Dog Treats - 9.7oz/50ct
My dog loves these and they are bones that he can constantly go back to. He will chew on one of them for a day then switch to another one and keep repeating that cycle so he doesn't get bored of them.

These are great for when he comes back from going to the bathroom as they are small and can be given multiple times a day. It's an easy reward to show them that going outside for the bathroom and coming back is a good thing!
Milk-Bone Mini's Flavor Snacks Dog Treats 36oz
You might have seen these before as they are kinda trending right now… but they are honestly worth the hype. Our dog got this as a gift and it is one of his favorite soft toys. I think he even sees it as more of a comfort toy too.
