The right initial dog equipment is always important, regardless of the age of the dog moving in. It forms the start of your Basic dog equipment and includes everything you need to transport your dog safely to its new home and master all new experiences and challenges.

When a puppy moves in, however, there are a few things you need to pay special attention to and think about. We answerThe most frequently asked puppy questions about equipment!

Was ist besser für einen Welpen Halsband oder Geschirr?

Die Frage, ob Hundehalsband oder Hundegeschirr für einen Hund egal welchen Alters, wird unter Hundebesitzern häufig diskutiert. Unserer Meinung dazu: Egal, für was Du Dich am Ende entscheidest, ein guter Sitz und hochwertige Verarbeitung und Qualität sind immer ein Muss!

Später kannst Du die Entscheidung zwischen Halsband und Geschirr basierend auf Trainingsstand, Temperament und Aktivität Deines Hundes treffen. Für einen Welpen raten wir dazu, gleich beides anzuschaffen.

 

Ein gut sitzendes Geschirr bieten den Vorteil einer gleichmäßigen Druckverteilung, auch wenn noch wild an der Leine herumgesprungen und die Welt erkundet wird. Das ist auch besonders wichtig, solltest Du Dich dafür entscheiden, Deinen Welpen mit Schleppleine schon früh laufen zu lassen.

Mehr über das Hundegeschirr, den richtigen Sitze eines Hundegeschirrs und die verschiedenen Geschirr Arten kannst du hier erfahren!

 

Ist Dein Welpe dann bereits ein bisschen älter oder Du möchtest in einer ruhigen Umgebung an Kommunikation und Leinenführigkeit arbeiten, empfiehlt sich ein Halsband zur klareren Kommunikation.

 

Doppelt hält besser: Warum sich überhaupt entscheiden? Trägt Dein Welpe Halsband und Geschirr kannst Du je nach Situation reagieren, Dein Hund lernt bereits beides kennen und Du kannst sehen, womit er besser zurechtkommt. Zusätzlich hast Du so auch die Möglichkeit beispielsweise Hundemarken am Halsband zu befestigen und so auf der sicheren Seite zu sein, sollte Dein Welpe sich aus seinem Geschirr winden.

Which toys are suitable for puppies?

Playing with your dog is not only a great way to strengthen the Bond with each other andTo let out energy, but can also be an opportunity to Train behaviors in a playful way. This is precisely whyplaying together is very important, especially for puppiesand should not be neglected.

To ensure that both sides have fun, choosing the right puppy toy is crucial. In principle, puppy toys should be robust without being too hardPuppy toys should be robust without being too hard. Natural rubber, rope or cotton are therefore often used for these dog toys. Plush toysPlush toysare also used by many new dog owners due to their cuteness factor. Here, as with all toys, make sure that the toy is replaced as soon as the dog has started to break it and an alternative to chewing, such as an age-appropriate chew bone, is offered instead. This not only helps to discourage and redirect destructive behavior, but also eliminates the Risk of your puppy swallowing or injuring itself on loose small parts of the damaged toy,

Very important here:A toy should never be left to the puppy alone, because almost any toy can be destroyed, depending on the size of the puppy, if he only has enough time. A toy is always for playing together with your owner!

Squeaky toys are too exciting for many young dogs and should therefore not be your puppy's first toy.

Welpen Spielzeug Set

Wie finde ich denn jetzt das richtige Spielzeug für meinen Welpen?

Jeder Hund spielt auf unterschiedliche Weise. Auch wenn bei einigen Hunden durch ihre Rasse und die aus der Zucht stammenden Verhaltensweisen, wie beispielsweise das Apportieren beim Golden Retriever oder Labrador Retriever, bereits von einer Spieltendenz ausgegangen werden kann, bleibt vielen Welpenbesitzern nur eins: ausprobieren, ausprobieren, ausprobieren!

Damit Du und Dein Hund schnell herausfinden können, welche Art von Spiel euch gemeinsam am meisten Spaß macht (und Du dabei auch noch sparen kannst), haben wir unser Welpen Spielzeug Starter Set zusammengestellt!

Mit diesen Spielzeugen können Du und Dein Welpe jede Menge Spaß haben:

Unser Bringsel – Baumwolle, XS: Aus hochwertiger, weicher und zahnfreundlicher Baumwolle mit einer hochwertigen mittelfesten Füllung ist dieses Mini-Bringsel perfekt für Welpen. Durch die Handschlaufe hast du einen sicheren Griff und besseren Wurf und kannst so schon früh mit deinem Hund das Apportieren üben oder Dir andere Spiele einfallen lassen.

Unsere Fruit Challenge – „Mango“ Spielzeug ist bei vielen ein absoluter Favorit und in Größe S auch schon für junge Hunde geeignet. Egal, ob du es also als Wurf- und Apportierspielzeug oder mit Leckerchen gefüllt als Beschäftigungsspielzeug nutzen willst: das zahnfreundliche, robuste und widerstandsfähige Naturkautschuk macht alles mit und kann bei Bedarf sogar in der Spülmaschine gereinigt werden!

One piece of advice we'd give to new dog owners when it comes to equipment? Clearly,pay attention to adjustability!

It doesn't matter whether you opt for aNylon collar, one of ours Kettenhalsbänder, einY-harness or aCollar-leash-set made of Biothane or leather decide:if your puppy's equipment can grow with it, it will not only save you money, but also make it more comfortable for your dog

ThroughAdjustable collars and customizable harnesses you can adjust them adapt to your dog's size and (disproportionate) physique at all times and so prevent pressure points, incorrect pressure distribution or uncomfortable pinching, which in the worst case could lead to a dislike of these items of equipment.
