Pee pads incase of an accident, we use the reusable cloth ones from E-Bay
X pen. --this is a exercise pen that attaches to the puppies crate where you can keep the puppy safe from chewing electrical cords and assist in potty training.
A book on potty training will also help you, Shibas are extremely easy so if you watch your dog will learn how to reed her/his body language , also they will cry or be whiney and restless , this is when they need to be taken out side on leash .
A nice slicker brush to remove loose hair for the Shiba's
We use the Les Pooch slicker brush for the Coton's. ( green )
A wire static free comb
We also use the PSI Pin brush ( green ) this brush is not harsh on the coat and removes mats easily with out breaking the hair if used right.
The Les pooch and the PSI brush you may want to search for them on Google
Be sure to cut your puppies to ails every week, I use just the big toenail clippers for humans until they get older and then use dog cutting toenail clippers.
