Creating A Living Space For Your Golden Retriever Puppy

I thought about the messes a Golden Retriever puppy could make and easily decided that the best place for him to do most of his living would be the kitchen. The linoleum flooring would be easiest to clean up as opposed to having the carpets cleaned every time he made a mess.
I picked out a couple of toys and treats to lie on his blanket inside the crate and placed it in a secluded corner of the kitchen.
I set up a baby gate across the kitchen doorway so that my Golden Retriever puppy would always be kept safe and to protect the rest of my home from any chewing or other mishaps. After finding a good spot for his food dishes, I put out a few more toys for him to amuse himself.
I found that crawling on the floor was the best way to get a view of what my Golden Retriever puppy could gain access.
