When bringing a puppy home for the first time it\u2019s important to have a puppy checklist at the ready to ensure you have everything that you need to get your new puppy settled in. We have listed here some puppy essentials to get you started.<\/p>\n
A recent study by Nottingham University (UK), has shown that walking a dog from the traditional collar and leash can cause damage to your puppy or dog\u2019s delicate throat area. Puppies or dogs that pull on the leash showed worryingly similar effects to that of a tourniquet, and so, we suggest a collar for ID purposes only.<\/span><\/p>\n There are many harnesses on the market but Halti <\/a>will have products perfectly suited for every stage in your dog\u2019s life. A harness will not only offer more comfort for your puppy but more security and control for you.<\/p>\n All dogs need to learn to walk on a leash even if you are fortunate enough to live in a rural area where restricted walks are rarely necessary; family situations can change in a dog\u2019s lifetime so even if your dog never needs to be walked on leash now, it is a good idea to teach them to accept it for the future. Your puppy will also need to be on a leash for visits to the vets, boarding kennels, groomers, etc.<\/p>\n A dog house line is simply a long, lightweight leash that can be left trailing from your puppy\u2019s collar or harness, ideally the line should not have a loop in the end as this will increase the likelihood of it becoming caught up. House lines also need to be longer than most standard leashes to be effective (2.5 meters is ideal).
