“Getting a dog is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Here are my suggestions
A basic obedience class
Spending as much time with them as you possibly can
A dedicated google photo album that you then send to all your family and friends
A dog walking playlist
Earth Rated dog poop bags (a wirecutter pick)
A fabric poop bag holder. The plastic one scared my dog.
Foggy Dog maritime rope leash
Ruffwear high and light harness
Dog bed shopping at TJMAXX/HomeGoods/Marshall’s
great selection and great return policy
Ditto for dog toys (I like bark box) and dental chews (whimzees)
If your dog needs a fun collar, try Foggy Dog, Zaley Designs, or Tags for Hope
Treats: polka dog wonder nuggets, woof pupsicles, Milo’s kitchen & Zukes
Getting them their own holiday accessories— stocking, Easter egg hunt, etc
Bake them pupcakes on their birthday
Enjoy getting to know your new best friend!”
