- Helpful Hints
- Use stainless steel, non-tip food bowls, which won’t break or absorb odors.
- Toys with parts that squeak or whistle can be dangerous if swallowed.
- For a comfortable collar fit, allow for two fingers of space between the collar and your dog’s neck; consider using an adjustable collar.
- Before bringing him in the house, take him to the designated potty area in your yard and spend a few minutes there. If he goes, praise him. Be sure to take him to this spot each time he potties.
