1) depends on how neat your house is. everything needs to be at least 3 ft off the ground and farther if you have a big dog. shoes need to go on shoeracks or somewhere out of reach of the pup.
the only thing that should ever be left on the floor is dog toys.
yes accidentts do happen so don’t get mad when you let your dog chew on something by leaving it on the floo.
2) yes/no. if the dog is not potty trained it would be best to leave the dog in the cage at night so no accidents on your bed/floor.
3) Don’t let her into areas where there are cords on the floor or things to chew. the dog should NEVER be unsuprvised until you trust the dog.
4) If you know exactly what dog you are going to get you defnitly should have all the supplies beforehand. i woud NOT suggest taking the dog to a petstore on the first day you get it since you do not know how it will react to new things.
5) Crate/toys/bones (NOT rawhides), nail clippers, brushes, balls to throw, dog dishes, dog food (good quality like natural balance not iams eukanuba ect)
6. right away just not super long walks. 15-30min walks are fine and playing in the backyard/dog park.
7. either way. i like getting pups in the winter where i can train them inside/outside but competition training will start in the summer.

good luck i hope you find a wonderful dog..
