Grooming Tools (Regular grooming is required to keep your puppies coat and nails healthy. These tools, listed below, are essential)
-
Steel Comb

Slicker Brush * A MUST*

Round Tip Shears
Shampoo/Conditioner
I have tried almost every shampoo/conditioner on the market and I always go back to this!
​
Detangler

High Velocity Dryer

Shelandy Dryer *This is an investment, but 100% needed and worth it! This will cut down your drying time and give your doodles a stellar coat that is way easier to maintain and brush through.

Training Treats
​
Chews
Buy these enrichment toys and fill them with jar baby food, canned puppy food, canned pumpkin, or yogurt. You can also freeze them so it lasts longer. These can be great for crate time!
