adam f Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 What essentials do I need to get in preparation for the arrival of my cocker puppy in a few weeks time? This is my first dog so starting from scratch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Food, bowls, somewhere warm for it to sleep! It's going to be a while before your formally training. Get a whistle of your choice and a lead. Tennis balls are good for training but all you'll need to be concerned about is getting a good bond with the dog and keeping it close. Don't let it have too much free hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightbarrel Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Warm dry sleeping space. Food suitable for pups, ask the breeder what they have been feeding the pup on. Worming treatments, flea treatments, grooming tools, food bowls and some ear plugs for you to help you get some sleep! Dvd's and training books will also help. Good luck.
