Are you Planning
on crate training?
You want to get a
crate that is big enough for the
puppy to be able to stand and
have a little space to move
around. You don't want it
too big to discourage your puppy
from going potty in the crate.
A full grown lab will take an
extra large sized crate about
31H, 42L x 28W x 30H, so I
recommend getting a
medium size to start with
then purchasing the
extra large when the puppy
out grows the first one.
That way you’re not buying a
bunch of sizes. Make the
crate as comfortable as possible
and never use the crate as a
form of punishment, you want
your dog to see the crate as its
‘safe place’.
As far as a play
yard I like this one for young
puppies, to get one for when
your puppy is older I suggest
getting a taller one so
they don't just jump over it:

For young puppies
that are still potty training, I
like these pee pads because it
helps with the smell and they
stick to the floor and remove
without tearing apart:

I have free fed
the puppies with a feeder.
I recommend free feeding because
Labs grow so fast and have
growth spurts where they will
eat more during those times and
not so much when they aren't.
Here is a good gravity feed
feeder and water dispenser
combo:

I
love this water bowl but it
needs to be hooked up to a hose
so goes great outside. I
actually had a plumber put in a
facet in my laundry room so I
can have it in the house and I
have it sitting on a tray to
catch the drips from the labs
drinking. I never have to
fill the water bowl anymore!
