Quick update/ Thank you’s and a few more questions for you amazing people

First off, Thank you so much to everyone that Commented and supported my last post about being a pup owner, This is my first dog since i moved out of my parents house and left my childhood dogs. I’m excited to move back to the states when my contract is over and give him a nice big yard he deserves.

I’m Taking all of the comments on my previous post into consideration. The 3-3-3 rule, Dog trainers for him and i, and ofc spoiling him(he already is so far).

Update Day 2 with my new handsome young pup:

Yesterday, The first day i got him He refused to come out into our stairwell to go outside but absolutely loved my balcony. I spent a hour yesterday trying to get him out and he wouldn’t come with a 3 foot radius, I tried bribing him with treats, Food, Toys, Peanut Butter, My wife and i both went out there. he would just watch with 0 interest in going down or near those stairs. I’m not sure what his deal was but i let him win, Put puppy pads down and gave him his space. I tried again this morning before i ran errands. He didn’t budge once again. BUTTTTT today i spent 3 hours working with him, Giving him time, Making him watch me walk from my apartment to outside and waving at him on the balcony. More bribes, he FINALLY came downstairs by himself. but we went on our first real nice long walk wherever he wanted to go. sniffed and peed on every single tree within a 1 km radius around my house letting EVERYONE know this is his area now. he met a few new dogs on his walk and he said hi, Sniffed butts, was all around a great time for him. I’m so proud of him starting to get over his fear of the stairwell. He got many treats and lovings as a reward.

Around the house he seems a lot more happy and comfortable ALREADY and he wagged his tail at my wife and his and greeted us when we got home. It Really seems like he’s adjusting very well already.

Questions My Wife And I Have:

1.) What shampoos/Conditioners do you guys recommend? Back him i have farm dogs so they just get dawn dish soap and a hose. My dad always said “if it’s good enough for those lil ducks it’s good enough for me and them” (yes he will sometimes shower with dish soap).

2.) What kind of brush do you guys have for your pups/ what do you prefer?

3.) How often do you take your dogs to the groomer? I noticed my pup is looking a little rough and over grown compared to some of your dogs and under his neck is matted/super knotty

4.) How much do you guys feed your dogs and what food? the previous owners fed him “4 cups a day” so i stayed with it. 1 in the morning, 1 at lunch, then 2 around 7PM for dinner

5.) are there any pet accessories that are like a must/very helpful for them that you guys can recommend? I have a harness i found today that fit him somehow, I ordered a dog bed off amazon because there’s nothing i can find big enough for him and this weekend i’m going to build a wooden thing to help him get down the stairs because i know they are prone to hip problems and i want to postpone any pain for him for as long as i can. We have a Large cage for him but i’ll probably never put him in it seeing how he has an entire room of the house. Perks of being 2 young dog parents with free housing and a very expendable paycheck.

6.) When would be a good time to get him enrolled into some of those obedience/ Training courses (not sure if they are the same thing)

Thank you guys all in advance, I appreciate all of you guys helping me out so much❤️

also here’s a pic of us on our first walk, So proud of him
