get rid of the t.v. box and buy a dog crate. The box might get chewed up. The pup might even eat part of it, and dogs arenot supposed to eat cardboard.Crates are easy to clean and they provide a safe place for your pup to go when he can't be out and about. buy yourself some training books and develope a training plan for your new pal. Remember that this new dog needs to be part of your family and you need to bond with him in order to work together. Keep training sessions short but frequent, and make them fun. Play alot in between training sessions and remember he is just a pup so don't expect too much too soon. Good luck with your new pal and here is wishing you many many years of unequalled fun and companianship. What is his name gonna be?
