I would suggest one more thing - a group training class from a local nonprofit dog obedience group. In our neighborhood for about $75 you & your pup can attend an 8-week class, 1 hr, 1 nite a week, and learn basic pet manners in a safe secure environment. Watch a class before you sign up to make sure the group/instructor uses positive reinforcement (lure/reward) methods, not coercion, to get your pup off on the right paw :-) Congratulations on your planning & smart buying.
