We had a bark box super chew toy from target and our dog got through the fabric and was chewing off chunks of the rubber. I haven’t gone back to that kind of toy. We still buy her fluffy bark box toys but watch her destroy them and get the squeaker before she does (most of the time) . She likes defluffing so I don’t mind letting her do that :) anyhow, we get the Benebone stick: Benebone Maplestick Our dog loves it!

Our mini is 6mos old, so not fully grown yet (she’s about 24lbs or so now, I’m not sure how tall, maybe about 18”), and she loves to play with plain old kids 18” playground balls. She herds them around the yard at full zoom. They’re definitely not too big for her. These are the ones we have (we also have three little kids, so it was a win win buy). She has managed to pop one, but definitely couldn’t chew pieces off; I’m not even sure she popped it, or whether our raspberry bushes did. They bounce right off her nose and keep her going and going. We also like to bounce them high up like a volleyball do she can do huge jumps to bop them. She’s gotten hours of fun out of them so far, she will just run with it endlessly until she bumps it beyond our invisible fence (it’s also been great training her to stop before the fence even when tempted to go beyond it).

mine is 3 years old now, and we've been giving him this for the last 2 years. check their ingredients, check their website. it is a big company in Italy with feeding trials. my vet and a lot of other vets always recommend a company with a nutritionist and feeding trials.

We have been using this one, and it’s worked well. We keep it in the living room, she hasn’t been able to escape yet but I think it may be coming, she’s 15 weeks old and a trouble maker!

We got this: Regalo 192-Inch Super Wide Adjustable Baby Gate and Play Yard, 4-In-1, Bonus Kit, Includes 4 Pack of Wall Mounts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_JDX8R9QBF1V3KE4ZE630

It doesn’t have to be tall, but it needs a lid.

We at first got those puppy pens and she learned how to climb out. Don’t make the mistake of carrying her out over the pen which lets her know she can get out by climbing high. Once she learned that, your pen is useless.

How old is your mini?

Mine hated to be brushed as a puppy/adolescent but once his full coat came in at the 2.5 year mark, he loved getting brushed. I think without his full coat the brushing probably was more irritating that soothing.

He has a flatter working coat so didn’t really need the brushing so much and certainly didn’t enjoy having his undercoat raked.

I started out with this safari brush which he loves and will lay immobile on his side for an hour, even flipping sides voluntarily like a pancake so the other side can be brushed.

Eventually I expanded my grooming kit to include steel combs and dematting combs.

I love watching the girl with the dogs on you tube and have learned so much about grooming from her + the videos are short and entertaining. One of the products she uses I bought and I love it. It's the equigroomer and I'll post a link to it and for her YouTube.

I suggest plenty of interactive toys. The Babble Ball, hideaway plushies, and deedle dude toys on Amazon are life savers. The nylabone is also an Aussie favorite in our house

You're going to have a lot of fun. The shrill mini borks can be rough but power through. Might want to consider hand feeding most food at that age to begin training and socialization. Kikkopup on youtube is great. Perfect Puppy in 7 Days by Sophia Yin and anything by Patricia B. McConnell also highly recommended.

Also you can put one of these ducks in that ball and it's a blast.

I buy this for my pupper. Got her when she was 3 months. She doesn't eat much so it lasts me a little over a month. CANIDAE Grain Free PURE Foundations Puppy Dry Formula with Fresh Chicken, 24 lbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K1DENYU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kA4TybZJ74DV8
