CRATE TRAINING SUPPLIES

Hand sanitizer, Paper Towels, Clorox Anywhere Spray, Disinfectant Wipes, Paper towels, Disposable pads

Disinfectant Spray, Garbage Can, Landry Basket, Old Towels to put in crate, Baby wipes ( for Puppies)

Do not use any pad with stuffing at this point in the bottom of the crate as some pups love to de-stuff their toys and pads. Wait until they are past

that stage. I use old towels or small blankets that are easily washed in case of accidents.

If I am going to put the puppies right back into their crate after I clean at night, I use only the Clorox Anywhere spray so as not to have too much chemical smells that they have to breathe. And I do wait just a bit to let it air out some after I clean.
