Time!
Here at the ranch, your puppies are raised on NutriSource Small and Medium Breed Puppy kibble. (For the puppies expected to be 45+ pounds: they would want the Large Breed kibble as the bites are a bit bigger.)
It is best to stay on this food for at least a month in their new home until you transition to a new food (if you choose). We recommend following the instructions on the bag to see how much your pup can eat on a given day.
If transitioning to a new food at any point, be sure to wean into the new food over a period of 10 days.

Leashes and Leash Sleeve
Note from Kaitlin: My favorite leash is from Color Up Pet. They are durable, hand-crafted, biothane leashes! Flexible and soft, yet they can be hand-washed easily as needed. Their standard leashes come in 4, 5, or 6 foot options. You can choose from countless colors to showcase your dog's great personality! They also have collars and long leads (20-30 foot options)! (Not sponsored!)
Reading Materials
"Way To Go" is included in your Gotcha Day Bag!
I love the book "The Other End of the Leash" from Patricia McConnell. She trains, works with, and lives with border collies and has studied animal behavior on the collegiate level. This book helped me understand that while dogs and humans speak two vastly different languages, our common language is physical. By learning how to communicate with Bella physically rather than rely solely on verbal cues has been a game changer for us.
She has a variety of shorter form books as well, if this helps you over YouTube videos with lots of ads. This second row has them linked for you! I have not personally read them, but see they come with high reviews.
As someone who was nervous to bring in her first puppy by herself and learn how to train, I took in a lot of information and did loads of research before Bella came home! I hope this page helps you as you prepare to bring in your new Finney Ranch puppy.
