Your last point (and all of them)is so true. The loss of our pets is the absolute worst! When my father passed, he had lived a long life, so I wasn't phased at all (plus, to be honest, I wasn't close with him at all). I'm still mourning for pets I had decades ago! Also, I've never used a clicker or treats for training. Just good ol' positive reinforcement.

Isn’t cranberry really bad for dogs that it can kill them

cnt express hw much do i agree with u. i think u make complete sense, nd which also shows that u truly care fr ur dogs. i do most of the things u said, nd everyone tells me i m being too sensitive while i think this is the right way to raise a dog. i wud like to add a couple things also. 1) make a small dog pack if u cud by involving other owners in ur neighborhood or simply let ur dog interact nd play with other street dogs while on walk. obviously, u hv to b careful abt it, esp in start or breeding season, to judge the possibility of a negative interaction or a fight nd local laws, bt it really adds meaning to their lives when they cn interact with member of their own species. otherwise its like not letting ur children interact with other children. its nt good fr their mental nd physical health. 2)try n give them off leash time during walks bt again check local laws. 3) using soaps nd shampoos made fr dogs, otherwise human soaps etc hv a strong smell nt thus it irritates them. 4) cleaning their paws regularly nd also ears esp if they hv floppy ears. 5) changing their food every nw nd then. 6) changing their walking routs every nw n then. 7) look fr their psychological needs as well, as nt waking them up during their deep sleep, judging if they want to b left alone or wants to interact, having atleast 2 dogs so they always hv company, nt shouting at them, bringing new toys etc

I'd like to see how much all of the finished product weighs, how much volume it is, and the serving sizes you feed to your dogs

Hi, I just tried this recipe with my dogs and they enjoyed it. But it gave them diarrhea. I’m guessing it will take some time to adjust? They were on kibble all these days. Or should I do half n half ? Pls lmk thanks

Good to know about trying the flea/tick pills once a year!!! I worry about those too.

I liked how cupid thanks for the delicious food!

Your videos are very well put together, edited and presented. Your techniques are also very clear. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos. I hope you achieve your goals and continue to make such videos for us.

Hi, do I need to be concerned about being fully vaccinated before I take my 12 week old puppy around town?

Very interesting. Thanks!

genius- " I use my voice instead of a clicker".

I prefer complete raw for all breeds..❤

New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your valued thoughts with us it helps us to understand how our dogs live. I have one dog, an Aspin ( Filipino dog ) he's my first dog to take care since I'm retired from work. He's my companion at all times. He's so gentle and loving. And yeah I spoilt him with good food and everything.

I m lucky to know this wonderful person. long time ago...in 2008 got a great puppy from Her cannel . During all years that we had our dog -we always had support, advice when called. She is the BEST, KNOWLEDGEABLE breeder.!!!❤

Yes❤. My therapy dog I am a child psychologist Miguel JR English black Labrador lived healthily to 15 years 4 months. Not fixed fresh wholesome diet moderate careful exercise. He was amazing and a wonderful 😢 companion and family dog too

What brand of dry kibble do you like when traveling for your gsds?

It never doesn’t not amaze all over again how much coat they blow. She’s just as squirrelly as my female when I brush her.😂

Great video

immense truths!!! could you tell us what is the drugs to avoid fleas?

Great topic! Great training advice!

Agree about the “spoiling”. I won’t in the first year or so but as they get older I do more and more. The more he shows me he knows and respects our boundaries and his role, the more he gets spoiled.

I’ve never understood the clicker thing. Your voice is better affirmation and it’s freely available at all times. 🤷‍♂️

These are great lessons. Thank you for sharing.

Hey, how is it going? I also don't trust veterinarians!

Yes the treats tips is very true…..

Wow, like a total Zen moment.This is really an important video for everyone considering a dog, or looking for guidance on understanding their dog. Your presentation is so peaceful it makes absorbing your message effortless. Great family scenario with hubby and the dog, and *beautiful* dogs. Thank you.

Yulia, another great video full of well articulated and substantiated insights and great advice! I have reached the end of the internet researching the preventatives, as I am as wary about the potential ill effects as you are. May I ask which tables you decided to use for your dogs, both flee/tick and heartworm prevention? Thank you!!

Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to break down the steps involved in the training - its so helpful and I have never come across such a detailed and easy to follow explanation on the subject. Waiting for your next video!

Hi Yulia, Thank you for a very informative video full of great information, clear instructions and wonderful delivery. I've just discovered your channel and binge watched it :). Love your videos!! Thank you and please keep on posting your awesome videos.

Hi ! Very good video and helpful info. I have a question, what can I do if my dog is already an adult?

It’s refreshing to hear from a dog enthusiast who has a clear understanding of what a dog is and what a relationship with a dog should be. I have been involved in Schutzhund training all of my adult life. It’s a passion that long ago pulled me in and informed my outlook on so many things. I congratulate you on coming to this understanding of your canine companions.

My Yakutian Laika only had one ear come up, so I had to tape the other one. Less than three days later his ear stayed up on his own. 😊

great video, very concrete and clear instructions! especially all the "what if x happens" scenarios. it helps a great deal since most of us will fail from time to time and need to know how to handle that well

Amazing video! Completely agree with everything you discussed. Unfortunately, some things I learned the hard way. I just discovered your channel and am looking forward to going through all of your content. Thank you ❤from 🇨🇦

Very helpful. Thank you!

more recipes please ! love this!

How do you calculate how much of this recipe to feed your dog? Is there a difference based on if they are still growing or full grown?

If possible kindly make video on which brushes are best to groom short hair gsds...😊

Also agreed - the loss of our last dog was particularly tough for us, and it was much worse than the loss of both of my elderly parents.

We learned the same thing about vets and don't blindly trust all their recommendations any longer. In the current business model of big Vet corporations, they push lots and lots of tests and expensive diagnostics. With one illness, there were two possible diagnosis. One required a $5,000 MRI and would require neurologic surgery. The other diagnosis was a possible ear infection requiring a $120 medicine. We treated for the ear infection and the problem resolved on its own.

So healthy food...all look beautiful 😍

Agreed 👍 ❤

I agree - it makes sense that a flea/tick 'treatment' that last 30 days in the pets body, killing fleas & ticks all that time is a suspected toxin.

Dogs need nutrients not ingredients so I don’t get why vegetarian food for dogs is a very bad idea

No treats, no long leash, just like all the other trainers, you really understand what it's like to bond with dogs. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks!!

Great video! This training techniques are clear and easy to follow. Love how patient and positive the approach is👍

Мы соскучились!

Many thanks!

What canines eat in the wilderness? Carrots? Spinach? Rice? Pumpkins? No. Just animals: meat, bones and internal organs. So, I doubt that plant food is beneficial for their health, but it is added in the dog food to keep the cost down.

I just came across your channel. We have 2 Belgian Malinios, we train for IGP. Our male is 5 and female is 2. I love your tips, I completely agree.❤ When I train our dogs, people stop and watch. I didn't understand until I saw a woman training her Dutchie one day. Women training strong dogs is a beautiful, powerful thing, and I'm here for it! Must go binge watch all your other videos now. 😂
