I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope it helps you to train your dog. A mat exercise can be used for so many reasons. Please watch my other videos on Go to his mat . You will see my dogs laying on the blanket while I exercise and while I eat dinner and many other times. Let me know how your dog is doing learning the mat exercise. Thank you . Joyce

Hello, let me know how you are doing and when you have any questions, just leave a comment. I am glad the video gave you ideas to help your puppy. Thank you Joyce

Give it lots of time. Some dogs take weeks to accept a new puppy. Keep the puppy in a puppy pen or behind a gate. From another room sit with your dog. Whenever your dog even glances at the puppy or into the room, lots of praise and give a piece of chicken. Something really good. Only stay a few minutes and then move your dog out of the puppies vision to another room. Slowly decrease from your dog to the puppy pen. To keep the puppy calm while your dog can see it, give a filled Kong. Try a few minutes every day. Can you carry the puppy in a bag while you walk your dog. That might help. Also rub the puppy with a cloth and put the cloth on the floor. Let your dog just be in the same room with the cloth. Put some chicken o the floor and let your dog eat the chicken near the cloth. Slowly also put the food closer to the cloth until it is on the cloth. Everything in baby steps. You might try Rescue Remedy for your dog. You can give drops and put drops in water bowl and in spray with water. May help your dog a little. You are not hopeless. You only saw the good ending in that video. The owner worked for a few weeks carrying the puppy on walks with her dog. Feeding for every good look at the puppy. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you . Joyce

I am glad the video gave you information to help you travel with your dog. Thank you Joyce

I am glad the video was helpful. Thank you. Joyce

what breed of dog do you have

@@DiamondDogTraining My dog is an American Staffordshire, he has one so hes fine, but my dawg is a 6 foot American. Well he says hes 6 foot but I think hes more 5 10''

Glad he has a kong

I am working on another video dremel nails. you can only angle so much when I am working alone to film. I hope this video will be more clear. Thank you for your comment. Joyce

Have fun!!

yes, some males lift their leg, others do not. If you have a male who lifts their leg, I used to tape plastic behind the pads or you can purchase a Doggy Bathroom which has sides, or you can make your own with sides . Hope this helps. Thank you for the comment. Joyce

Hello, Italian Greyhound natural tail carriage is down. Her tail is down when it is wagging and when she is concentrating. Nicky takes making videos very seriously. The only time Nicky"s tail is over her back is when she is sees a squirrel in the tree or on pole and she gets over excited. Thank you for your comment. Joyce and Nicky

Yeah! I was a bit concerned with that.

Thank you, I am so glad your puppy is sleeping well with you. Joyce

I already answered this comment. believe it was probably from you. If not I will repeat, IG's are supposed to carry their tail lower than their back. Thank you, Joyce

these were just suggestions. Find the foods that your dog likes and tolerates and you can make some really good kongs. Thank you. Joyce

glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you, Joyce

How is your dog doing. Please let me know. i can give you other suggestions Thank you, Joyce.

@@DiamondDogTraining he still barks he is afraid of cars. I don't take him for walks on the road because of this. He is a little dog, a shih Tzu who weighs 8 lbs. Some ideas who be much appreciated

​@@DiamondDogTraininghe can be sleeping in a chair and if he hears a car go by he is gone to the window barking. He does this all day and he looks so tense

@@dianehossack6157 Hi Diane, now I know more about your dog's personality. We need to help him to be more relaxed when he sees a car. Try to stand much further away from the road if possible. i have stood with reactive dogs far up person's driveway or stand behind a tree or any barrier. look for a T where you can stand and he can only see the car for a fraction of a second . As the car is visable, feed good food., Thundershirt may help him relax.

@@dianehossack6157 help him relax by moving him to a quiet room away from the cars if possible. Play calming music. Stuffed Kongs. There are so many things you can do to help him. do you have a positive trainer you can contact. Did he have a bad experience with a car.

how is your scratchboard working. Please let us know. Nicky uses her scratchboard almost every day. Thank you, Joyce

small puppy under 10 pounds would be small puppy kong. Thank you, Joyce

Thank you, Welcome. Please let me know how you and your dog are doing. Thank you, Joyce

Me too!!!!

I hope your puppy is enjoying the filled Kong. Thank you, Joyce

thank you

what type of dog. is this destruction when no one is home. will your girl friend use a crate or pen or gates. how much exercise does the dog get daily. walks, long leash fetch, a yard? so many questions to give me information. possibly the first thing to do is put dog on harness and leash if the destruction is when people are home. more information will help

I answered your comment a few days ago. I hope you got it. please comment again if you did not get my answer and i will write again. Thank you. Joyce

you are very creative. that is great. Joyce

I started adding a product Healthymouth liquid to their meals and it is working great. I still brush their teeth but not as often as i did . not as frequent dentals. Thank you, Joyce

i don't use that harness but I will consider it. Thank you, Joyce

Great. Baby steps. Let me know how you are doing. Joyce

Thank you

Glad you think so!

let me know which one is best for your dog. Joyce

You have time to decide to neuter. Let the puppy grow up to fully mature. Ask your vet when they recommend neutering. Thank you . Joyce

The puppy pen is safe as long as he cannot climb. There are covers to prevent climbing or puppy pens with only vertical bars which are very difficult to climb/ puppy pen must be high enough to prevent jumping over. The older dog gradually accepted the new puppy. Probably in about 10 days. Thank you . Joyce

Thank you. There are now trays with a grid to cover the pee pad. The puppy cannot reach the pee pad to chew. Joyce

Thank you, both dogs can either have senior ( purple) Kongs or stronger chewer could have red Classic. Size is probably medium . Joyce

Check the law in your state. Thank you. Joyce

Thank you. 8 months of age both the puppies are almost done teething. I would move to the classic red Kong medium size for the female as long as she is over 10pounds. The male at 30 pounds could have the medium size red or for an aggressive chewer, you might want the black extreme Kong. Hope this helps. Joyce

@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you. it does and I will pass it on to the pet parents. I think the male pup is more of a destructive chewer than an aggressive chewer. I get them mixed up. They are both destructive chewers but one more so than the other. That’s why I suggested Kongs. Maybe this will help the male to stop chewing on his blankets!

@@liveyouryoga glad I can help. Joyce

Yes, small puppy kong

Thank you.

Ok.

Keep them separated with gate or puppy in puppy pen or crate. Give lots of attention to 8 yr old and feed really good food whenever he looks at puppy. It takes time. Thank you . Joyce

Hi, it really depends on the size and age of your puppy. A baby puppy about 8-10 weeks. The small puppy Kong will be fine. As the puppy gets older, switch to the medium puppy Kong and then if the puppy is a strong chewer, switch to the medium classic red Kong. Hope this helps. Thank you . Joyce

How old is your sheepadoodle. How much does your dog weigh. Sheepdog x poodle. To determine the proper size kong, Look at the width off the mouth and the length of the muzzle. Give me more details about your dog and I will tell you the size and which Kong to buy. Thank you. Joyce

Glad it was helpful!. Joyce
