Indoor potties work great for those living in very cold climates and/or in apartments, and for house training a new puppy. If grass is where you want your dog to go outside, then using a real grass indoor potty helps to reinforce that.

What to look for:
Enzymatic cleaners break down the organic waste material so odor is eliminated completely. Look for unscented versions because scented versions mask the urine or other odor from humans (but not from pets) so it's harder to tell when you've applied enough. It helps to have both a spray bottle for application and a more economical large bottle for refills.

What to look for:
The correct size crate should be big enough for your dog to stand up and turn around in, and not much bigger. For a puppy, choose one that will accommodate her predicted full-grown size, and block off part of it while it's too big for current use. Soft crates look and feel nicer but won't last if your dog or puppy chews. If you plan to ever fly with your dog, get an airline-approved crate that can do double duty.

What to look for:
Play pens that you can configure by adding or removing panels are more versatile. You can make them very small when your puppy's very young and just starting the house training process, and then make them bigger as the puppy both progresses and grows bigger. Pay attention to the height of the play pen you choose to make sure your puppy won't be able to jump over it. When in doubt, error on the taller side.

What to look for:
Baby gates are similar to play pens except that they can be attached to a wall or door frame on either end. Some can also be configured to be free standing by attaching the ends to each other and making an enclosure. The attachments are either pressure mounted or require hardware and screwing into the wall or door frame. Make sure you choose the option that works for your specific living space.
