Some good options are kongs or bullysticks.
As for potty training, I would work on that as soon as possible. Crate training works well I highly recommend it. I would suggest also buying crateware for the crate to make it comfortable for your puppy. Jeffers pet store has some at a good price.
Also time feeding is helpful while potty training. I used to feed mine 3 times, morning, mid day and evening. Once they were potty trained and notice that they nibble through the day I started leaving their food down all day.
One more thing make sure to look into how your are going to travel or ship Storm to the Middle East. Many countries there are not dog friendly and have strict importing laws.
I hope this helps. |
Great post- agree with everything!
Potty training teaches a dog NOT to go where they are not supposed to. You can never start this too early- the more they are allowed to go wherever they want, the harder it will be to train later. So start training now- the time difference shouldn't cause an issue later.
