Creating A Living Space For Your German Shepherd Puppy

Since having the carpets cleaned every time my German Shepherd puppy made a mess would turn out to be rather tie consuming and expensive, I made the decision to set up his living space in the kitchen.
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 his feeding station, scattered a few more toys around the kitchen floor and sealed off the entrance with a baby gate to prevent him from getting into other rooms before he was ready.
In order to see things like my German Shepherd puppy would see them, I lowered myself to his level and crawled around his living space looking for any harmful things that might be of interest to him.
