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. |
Thanks so much for the great advice. I've looked into shipping him since we are flying on a military flight I was told to call early after I get my literary and they will let him fly in cabin. They have a check list for the area which all his shots and microchip are up to date now I just have to get an approval from the Bahrain Consulate which I'm waiting till close to the date since they only give you a 30 day shipping window, good thing I have someone helping me on this because I've heard some military members over there say shipping their pet was harder than shipping their kids and with the rules now it is hard to get your family there too..lol
