Adopting A Stray Puppy In Costa Rica

[@melissamoeller9608]

“This is where we can set boundaries, right in the beginning.” Then…”We can also just get orange sheets.” Lol 😂 Dogs just melt our hearts!

[@meganbell2647]

Just make sure you never let her eat grapes or raisins they are highly toxic and will kill her the vet had to pump our dogs stomach because of it for a dog her size just two or three would be enough to kill her or cause organ failure

[@avivapeltin]

this part made me chuckle :D

[@NZKiwi87]

This made me laugh too 👍

[@cherrywallis]

I feel like Cali came into your life for a reason, what a perfect time too. She's lovely. 🐾

[@Itsclassybird]

As a dog handler I'd highly suggest playing games that use her nose. Things like scattering treats for her to sniff out and find. 10 minutes of sniffing is the same as an hour long walk. Mental stimulation will always tire a puppy out more than physical activities ❣️

[@bolt2638]

DJI should have given you a free magnetic case as well. That is the perfect companion of the Action 2.

[@ktk6049]

If you don’t want her in the bed, think about getting a crate for the night time. She won’t like it at all at first, but after a few weeks she’ll learn that is her safe space and her bed. It’s also very comforting to know you know exactly where she is at night in case there is an emergency. Crate training your dog at night is a great way to provide structure and an area your dog feels super safe, and you know she isn’t getting into anything dangerous while you’re sleeping. Another suggestion is to get a track device on that collar asap. I know that Fi has a GPS collar that would work well for your remote location. You can also throw an airtag on the collar for a secondary measure. You’d be heartbroken if she ran away or someone scooped her, so better safe than sorry since you’ve bonded with her.

[@withoutasign]

Definitely second both of these tips!! I couldn't manage to get my stray crate trained but god do I wish we had that sorted, it would've come in handy countless times, and like OP said, it's a safe space too!

[@mlledottie1781]

Would recommend the crate as well. Also try to be consistent in the beginning while training her, gives you the opportunity to slip in the Future without Major Set backs

[@CarlHancock]

100%. For some reason, some people seem to think crate training a dog is cruel. But the reality is as long as you do it properly and don't use the create a some form of punishment it actually becomes a safe space for them. Highly recommend it.

[@lilyrc77]

Do not crate that poor dog please .you can definitely train a dog without need for a crate if you have the patience and spend the time

[@GraceCondron]

I highly recommend getting her chipped if she is gonna roam on your land. Or maybe even some type of geo tag for her collar. In case she gets stuck somewhere when wandering.

[@I_am_Lauren]

Louis has a totally different personality around the puppy! It's like he turned into a little kid or a puppy himself, it's so sweet!

[@Summerbear727]

Being a previous dog trainer I always recommend people find out what motivates their dog, ie treats or attention, and use that to teach live saving commands like come and stay. That will keep you from a lot of potentially scary incidents in the future. As far as getting her energy out when she’s just at home and not going on adventures with you. Raya’s idea about a toy that will throw a ball is great.

[@marsharennels9911]

I love how it went from "We're going to set boundaries from the start" to "Or we could just get orange sheets." LOL. Too cute!

[@Just_Jelle]

And that they were willing to set boundaries for their white sheets, but not for their friend's house where they were staying that first night.

[@HeyItsEstefania]

She is so adorable! 25 minutes of cuteness 🐶 I'm glad you guys decided to adopt her and give her a home you guys are the perfect parents to her ❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Ahh thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@dizzielizzie5230]

This is manifestation at it's finest! You both put out to the Universe exactly what you wanted, without any expectation & she arrived serpendiously when you were not actively looking for her. She was meant to be. The perfect dog for both.

[@RayaandLouis]

Yess that’s what it feels like! ☺️✨

[@hennagal7360]

Congratulations and thank you for sharing the joy of giving a home to a street dog 💕 our top tips are - for muddy paws leave an old ice-cream container box or cat litter tray full of warm water on your doorstep with a dog towel hanging nearby , then when you are back from your walk you can paddle her paws in the box of water to rinse off mud and dry them 🐶also its great to get young dogs used to a seatbelt harness that you can pass a car ( or bus) seatbelt through - this avoids dogs bring thrown out through windscreen in a crash and being injured or running away scared into traffic ( or according to safety advice a 3 stone adult dog being thrown forward and breaking necks of front passengers) also avoids sudden jumping out of open car windows to chase a cat/squirrel/monkey 🐶

[@kiah1126]

I haven’t read anyones else’s comments. But we rescued our pup over 3 years ago. Best thing to happen to us. He was a stray and not sure how long he was on the streets for BUT my two tips are. Keep her teeth clean. I clean my pups teeth every night before bed. The research I’ve done, says that the biggest indicator of health and longevity with an animal is keeping their teeth and gums healthy. Second piece of advice is get her used to nail trimmings. This is still an on going issue for my pup but I would suggest get her used to clippers or a nail file. Whether you guys do it or at a groomers. Cali is so lucky to have found you guys! Best of luck and love! ❤️

[@michellehelenekvisthansen]

Being a dog owner, I would definitely recommend, getting a pawise pawcleaner, and a microfibre towel to help with her paws and when you bathe her. Also for her puppy energy some brain activity toys will definitely help her getting tired mentally aswell... You Will accumulate alot over time, because at some point she Will have figured them out. I use them for my girls alot (especially being chronically ill, it's hard to activate them sometimes) Also recommend figuring out which kind of shampoo is good for her coat, and fits your lifestyle.. I would recommend a harness for when you travel, and get one ahead of time so she can get used to it, and I would recommend a step in or Y style harness so they don't harm their chest and front legs/shoulders. That would be my recommendations.

[@WendyHannah]

Rewatching and commenting because I’ve learned so much since I first watched this. Thank you for adopting and doing your best for her! I’ve learned kibble is not species appropriate. Raw or gently cooked with real food is species appropriate and will help our fur babies thrive instead of just exist on what is essentially junk food. Our pup is on month six of real food & is doing great. It’s not as hard as I feared when I first started this journey; does requires some research (via holistic vets, pet nutritionists) & time to figure out how to make this work best for us. Still tweaking freezer organization & when I prep but it’s so empowering to know I’m giving her what is best for her & not risking toxicity.

[@emmaguestdogtraining3624]

She'll 100% end up snuggling in the bed. I think it's one of the best parts of owning dogs. So happy for you guys ❤️

[@readwritelovelive6637]

Cali Cam is precious 🤣 those floppy little ears are everything!

[@niq1232]

Hi ive been a dog owner for over 10 years. If Cali is a bit skittish around trucks or has anxiety with loud noises i highly recommend cbd oil for dogs also calming sprays and a comforter like a blanket or even a soft dog jumper. My dog, Kappie, is petrified of fireworks and high pitch sounds. I know exactly what you mean with dirty paws. We live in Edinburgh Scotland and well it rains...A LOT...lol. i use micro towelled mits for drying my black lab theyre really handy come in packs of 4 also they dont take up much space they also dry very quickly. I do have 4 spare dog towels though for shower times. If the paws are extremely muddy then have a spray bottle of water to hand much easier to do a quick rinse. Hope this helps. Welcome to doghood all you need to give is some tlc and what you get back is just so rewarding but beware you get attached to these cuties just like people they become a huge part of your family xxx

[@LaurenYarwood]

She deserves the best life and looks like she is meant to be with you both 💖

[@withoutasign]

I adopted my stray at 1.5y old and here are the most important things I can think of! - crate training: make sure it's a safe space for her, eg when she is in her crate you leave her alone so she can have as much "me-time" as she needs - recall, especially as you like having her off-leash - consistency: routine is difficult but it helps them soooo much - you're absolutely right that setting boundaries/rules needs to happen NOW sooner rather than later, it will really pay off! - considering her history, try not to feed into any potential seperation anxiety. For example, my dog still suffers from it a bit and will go absolutely MENTAL when I come home from work, which can be kinda funny and cute with her jumping around and making lots of noises, but in reality she's releasing a LOT of stress at once and if I reward that with lots of attention immediately I am essentially reinforcing her anxiety. It's difficult to find the right balance but I have followed you guys for years and believe you will make amazing parents!! Whether canine or human :) enjoy your time with her, dogs are gorgeous beings we can learn a lot from ♥

[@stephanievariel]

She is getting all the love, the pats!! Aww I so happy that the both of you adopted her! Cant wait to see more adventures with her! She is so precious!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you Steph! ☺️

[@meghansoto9280]

Yes to the orange sheets!!!!!

[@paulinewatkins8327]

Wow, she is a true gift from God/Universe to you guys. xxx 💕 Devine timing 🌅

[@smiley9246]

When you go on trips leave some clothing or blanket that has your smell so she will have some comfort and familiarize that your presence is there even when your not there. Happy fur parenting! She’s beautiful!

[@ashleyferguson5868]

Louis is adorable when speaking about the puppy. He lights up! y'all are going to make AMAZING parents one day, it is so apparent how much love you have to give.

[@alfredocortesb5]

On the contrary… you don’t rescue dogs…dogs rescue you. 😊

[@notfuhleeshaa]

I’d definitely start trying to teach her as many commands as you can. Not only will she learn fast but this is a great way to work her brain and tire her out. commands like “come” “with me” “wait” and “drop it” can be life savers in the future if there ever were a dangerous situation to present itself.

[@sugarstreicher]

The Soresto collar is the best for fleas and stuff like that. They last for 8 months and work great. So happy to see you guys rescue that baby. Made my heart melt.

[@jaymac-uu8vt]

She is so lovely you are all very lucky to have found e each other. Crate training is so important - it will give her a safe place and makes it easier for you all, if there is ever an emergency or you are travelling or she is unwell. Absolutely train a good recall - start in a small place eg your bus and call her between you like a yoyo - giving her praise/ a treat /or tug with her EVERY time she gets to you and then after a few days practise in a small outdoor safe area and then in a bigger area with her on leash. Every time you take her for a walk practise her recall at least 10-15 times / walk till she gets it down. Short training sessions no more than 3-4 minutes at a time with frequent breaks for her to process the info. Make sure she has fresh veg with her meal to decrease the risk of cancer and avoid chocolate, onions and grapes but especially avoid macadamia nuts - they are deadly in small doses. Be consistent if you don't want her on the bed - don't let her on sometimes and then not others at least for the first 6 months and then she will understand she is only allowed on when you invite her.

[@AVABROOKEE]

Aw she’s so happy with you guys 🤍

[@statisticsinc6907]

Awww my heart!! Sooo lovely for you to take her in. A suggestion: keep her food and water leveled to her neck/head and not directly on the ground. It’s better for digestion. 😍💛

[@Cari143]

Cali is sweet! Just wanted to say...as a dog lover...When you put on her choke chain, hold it in front of her and let it form the letter 'P' as that can slide and release easily, so to speak. I believe you have placed it on her as the letter 'Q' which can lock or fetch up and not slide easily. Sadly, I knew a fellow who lost his dog to the 'Q' version of the collar. I hope this makes sense! Enjoy every minute! :)

[@binabautista]

My heart is filled with happiness to see you adopt cali and gave her a life she deserves. Praise God for your generous and loving heart ❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you Bina! ☺️

[@leahbaker3916]

Congratulations on your first baby!!! My husband & I of 16 years(we got married at 18 years old) just got our first dog/baby about 5 months ago. Our world has changed soooo much since then. Her name is Kara, she’s a 5 year old German Shepard rescue from TX USA. She is the best thing to happen to us! My husband only ever had 1 cat as a child, I had lots of dogs & animals growing up on a ranch. I did lots of research on what would suit our lifestyle. We wanted a laidback, go with the flow, lover but independent, sweetheart, couch dog, & NOT a puppy, female dog. We found her on petfinder through a rescue in TX. It happened quite quickly. My husband was tentative due to her being a larger dog, German Shepard, & out of state(we live in Seattle). When she came to us she had no idea how to be a dog. She had 8 puppies last year, she had been kept in a cage from her first owner(we believe), so she didn’t know about beds, playing, regular day to day life. She very quickly adjusted & is the quietest gentle giant ever! My husband is obsessed with her. She is our first baby & furry baby. We have learned lots & she constantly is learning & growing & loving just being a dog. She truly brings us so much joy. She also unexpectedly has brought out so many different parenting & nurturing qualities in my husband. My husband even after 16 years has changed so much in the last 5 months of being a dog dad that we have started to discuss having our own human kids for the first time! We are truly grateful for the universe blessing us with Kara & are excited for your family to be expanding. Be well❤️🐕‍🦺 #dontshopadopt

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@susananderson8995]

If you are planning to travel with her, I highly recommend you kennel train her. It’s better to get her to feel comfortable in a kennel in her usual environment rather than wait until you travel. Our now five month old puppy (fifth dog we have had over the years) trained immediately. Keep some food in the kennel and get her to feel it’s her safe space. Our previous dog who recently passed away from old age loved her kennel so much she would put herself to bed in it every night.

[@sharoncarter5365]

[@jointsnjenna]

I am so happy she came into your life! It's God's plan and the higher power bringing that missing piece of your family. Callie knows you are her safe place❤️ a nice little treat for her during the very hot summer months are frozen peanut butter bites in a Kong toy or just a toy that requires them to do some work to get the treat!! Hope this helps and I cannot wait to watch Callie grow into her beautiful soul❤️

[@MuffinCake316]

My only comment for you as first time dog owners is that I wouldn't recommend retractable leashes. The thin rope-like cord of the retractable leash can cause severe burns, deep cuts, entanglement or strangulations. It can even cause amputation to limbs and fingers of both humans and pets. If the cord portion of the leash is grabbed while it is being pulled, the chance of injuries increases greatly. Additionally, since the length of the retractable leash changes, it can be confusing to the dog what length they are allowed to go - as sometimes it can be long and other time short etc. So can be hard to them to understand the distance they can separate from you. I would stay with a standard rope leash. I hope this makes sense! Good luck on this new adventure, it is so rewarding!

[@wardarcade7452]

BTW, besides California, 'Callie' can ALSO be short for Caledonia- the Roman name for Scotland (one of Louis's ancestral homelands) ! Regardless, it's great that the three of you have found each other and bonded (and that both of you were willing to bring a third individual into your lives so soon after becoming husband and wife- which can help develop patience for any possible future human additions)! Congratulations on this and thank you for sharing with us!

[@KristinBe]

The most used sense of a dog is it’s nose. Incorporate that into play and she will be tiiiiiiired ;-) Also, dogs kind of need a job to be able to relax. If she seems really restless to you, it could be that she hasn’t found her „purpose“ yet. It can be as simple as: my job is to sit in this place. This will also build trust. Another really important thing and probably the hardest: don’t humanise her too much. Some dogs can get really anxious if you pet them too much and start biting. It seems like she really loves that kind of attention, so it may not even become an issue. Lastly, I just love how she came into your life! I hope everything works out great 😍

[@heatabayko]

This video brought me so much joy!! I found my dog as a stray 12 years ago and she is the best part of my life! 💕 I laughed when Raya said we can just get orange sheets! 😂 Will be interesting to see how long you hold out not having her sleep in bed with you!

[@juliepiggott7331]

How adorable 🌻🤩

[@victoriaesten644]

Loved this! Dogs really do melt your heart. We currently have 2, both are so freaking spoiled. We did try to set boundaries early on with our eldest but we're both softies so not sleeping in bed with us didn't last. Our younger dog, we didn't rescue until she was 7. She only slept in her own bed maybe the first night or two as she was still getting used to us. She did seem fine with using a crate but we were the ones who encouraged her to sleep with us. They both now go straight to bed with us every night. Best thing was upgrading to a king size bed haha. I will say I know people have been successful with crate training. When Ringo (our eldest) would stay with my parents, he'd sleep in the crate (my mom isn't a dog person and she has allergies/asthma so dogs in her room are a huge no).

[@karenwright1869]

[@madisonmackenzie8428]

I'm so happy you guys were able to adopt her! She seems like a wonderful dog, and seems strikingly similar to the dog Scout that you mentioned being the perfect dog in the video. I got a puppy back in January and this is the second puppy I have trained. My tips are to be consistent with any commands/training/behaviors you want her to learn! Taking some time each day to teach her something or to practice a learned trick is key. I'm not sure what products you are able to find in Costa Rica, but I like the Pet Botanicals training treats. They are small and perfect to bring out if you're on a walk and need to encourage her or praise her for a good behavior, but she already seems like a wonderful dog! I also recommend getting something like a Kong or food puzzle or lick mat to keep her distracted on a day where you need her inside. My dogs love getting a Kong with frozen peanut butter. Anyway, I can't wait to see more of your videos with her :)

[@marta.rose_]

[@rumboutopia]

🐶🐶🐶 We have 3 extremely happy dogs so we want to give you a KEY 🔑 advice. The bast majority of dog owners make the mistake of thinking that you just have to physically stimulate your energetic dog and that’s ok BUT you also have to work on her mental health. How? Challenging her! For example; for Cali it’s gonna be way more tiring to find treats hidden all around the bus (when it’s rainy) than running for hours. Of course she needs to run a lot, but she needs to activate her nose in order to burn all her energy. So, a combination of physical activity with mental/nose challenges EVERY DAY is FUNDAMENTAL for achieving a true happy dog life. ACTIVATE HER NOSE and you guys are gonna have a super happy dog. Congrats you guys Cali is insanely beautiful. Much love from Barcelona ❤️❤️

[@padlocksncocoapuffs]

Louis needed a dog for sure! Such a good dog dad! I’m so happy for y’all! Dogs are so amazing. They have these little paw washers that you put water in and then stick thier paws in to clean them, that might be good instead of wipes. Also recall training! Very important if you have her off leash. As someone with a leash aggressive dog if a dog like her were to run up to him while I have him on leash it wouldn’t end well for either of them. So having good recall to bring her back to you if needed is very important.

[@lindamoulton1560]

We just had to put our 15 year old Lab mix to sleep last week due to kidney failure and this video absolutely warmed my heart. He was just as spirited as your new pupper (won't say her name to keep it a surprise ;) ), especially when it came to treats and nature, even in his twilight years! Weirdly enough he loved all kinds of vegetables and fruits as treats so definitely google what types of veggies and fruits are safe for her to eat (his absolute favorites were weirdly Carrots, Celery, Blueberries and Broccoli stems- but everything given sparingly and with a balanced diet). Congrats you guys!

[@sokkergirl9]

Cali is so cute! Love her!

[@lynnever]

We JUST lost our wonderful-terrible (too smart for anybody's good) dober-mutt at 17 years old and seeing this sweet baby brings back so many lovely memories. Warning: they will use those eyebrows to get what they want.

[@shrtstufusa1]

Lol am I the only one half way through walked over to their rescued fuzzy and hugged them? We have two kitties, one gifted to us and our second is a shelter kitty named Mr. Feeny. There is truly a special bond that forms from cats and dogs (and probably other animals) that feels extra loved being brought home. Our gifted kitty is very loved, but you can tell she knows not what her brother went through. Such a cutie Cali is.

[@SBooher1]

she is so adorable and fell in love with you two right away! She is teaching you how to be parents. You are doing great. I hope she doesn't have separation anxiety when you go away.

[@mikkaheenius66]

Guys, live is all about balance and frames. You can move in your personal frame, but if changing or floating too much you can (ams often will) get lost! Especially kids and animals need guidance and boundaries to feel save. And don't let loose just because it's easier for you. Great little souls need the big o es to tale care of them. Mothers in animal Kingdom do the same! Let the little ones roam around and shushing them back, so they can learn to grow but with a safety net. Use your dog to train for kids... they are even more heart melting ;)

[@jamiekoesema4439]

This is absolutely my fav video you’ve posted. As a fellow dog lover, I can see the love you both have for Cali and the love she has for you! She is perfect and I’m so very happy that you have her in your lives now. There just a joy and a peace that dogs bring to our lives that nothing else in the world can. Plus she’s great practice for when you start having a family. Very different…but yet similar! Congrats!! 🎉 ❤️❤️❤️

[@kare6888]

Guide Dog owner here! Possibly others are more trained then me, and guide dogs are not the same as pets, but I think the biggest tip would be to just stay consistent! Its good to spoil them every now and then, and let them be naughty and loose, but I think consistency should makes things easier for everyone! Like never giving in into letting Cali to sleep on bed. That way, you would less likely to say no, which is easier and less stressful for you and the dog. Maybe would it be a good idea of having naps on the couch instead if want to have a little cuddle, bonding time, and have a boundary with bed.

I keep a little tub outside the door to my camper with water that I wash her paws with before coming in. It gets them much cleaner than just wiping them. It is an inflatable “foot bath” so takes up no room or space when traveling. You could get a small plastic tub as well.

[@cathybechtel4376]
