for the the teething I bought nylon bones, I used to give my dogs rawhide bones but theres too many issues with swallowing pieces whole or choking and random things. they worked perfectly with the nylon bones.

We have them on a timed training and on top of that they wear doggy diapers around the house in case they have an accident. You would get plenty more tips on the training board as well. I learned many tips and tricks there
