Any reason you capitalize the letter in each sentence?

A poor dog was pushed on me and I wasn't prepared at all for this , within an hour the dog was presented to me after the call. After one day I had to give her back while being told the next move would be the pound to put her down. Talk about gilt trip. I cried like a baby this morning over this.,I'm 60. Long time back I told a friend I was thinking of getting myself a dog he told this guy who was trying to unload one and my name appeared. The guy is not a bad guy but the way it was done was to fast for everyone he played on my imotions . This should have been planned out and the poor dog could be saved. Nothing is in the right place for to save her, sad situation. 😟☘️

I've adopted a traumatized street dog around 7 years, even after one year she doesn't allow me to put a leash and walk her and goes totally wild when I try. Took months to win her trust and be able to even pet her... it's hard.. :(

[@rainbowpanda6960]

Im exited! I’m getting my fourth dog!!! The one I’m getting is from the same shelter I got 2 of the three. The first dog I got was a stray that we found and later adopted!

[@GoodDoginaBox]

Good luck with your new dog! That's awesome you have several shelter dogs.

[@thevapebugllc4083]

FYI.....HYDROGEN PEROXIDE dissolves POOP AND PEE and is so much cheaper than other products.

[@carlosestrada51]

I’m getting a new dog sometime next year and already I’m watching this video to get ideas. I’ve had dogs all my life and I have great ideas of what to do, but I believe it would be a great idea to watch still to ensure a successful first meeting! I think these are helpful tips! And I’m confident that our new family dog will enjoy its life with me and my family! Thank you for these helpful ideas/tips!

[@GoodDoginaBox]

[@FeatheredFosterBirds]

that crate is to small in my opinion

[@ted6229]

That's what I was going to say,,, or maybe she needs a smaller dog..

[@hiiraelth6241]

My family are thinking about getting a dog, but if we do, I want to know these things anyway

[@xSkythe]

Crate is a bit small for that dog isn’t it?

[@jordanbacarella74]

This was very helpful to think about because I am going to adopt a puppy in June from a shelter

[@GoodDoginaBox]

So glad it helped Jordan. Be sure and check out some of our other resources for dog owners on the site.

What’s a “successful” dog?

[@sage6336]

"organic compounds" I love American euphemisms

[@bman2549]

what a great video thank you i will be getting a rescue next month.

[@GoodDoginaBox]

Good luck!

[@leeboriack8054]

Really appreciate this information!

[@veevee4033]

I am adopting a English setter this summer and I am nervous because he is almost deaf. We had a German shepherd before she was very well trained, I taught her a few tricks and commands some of them non verbal, so I am stressing that much over his training, although I know english setters can be stubborn. What about its walks? I was thinking about getting that thing that leashes all over the dogs body, like that "collar" the rescue dogs often have (obviously I have no idea how that's called in english 😅😅) just to make sure we both feel secured

[@Seren_Volgs020]

It's called a harness

[@christopherbrunette1805]

I feel like I'm waiting for this woman to say "your dog is property, not a sentient being, dont forget you're the master and you're dog iant capable of thinking for itself or succeeding in life unless you tell it to."

Hello

[@SleepyZoop]

beautiful educatuonal video! thank you

[@emmaodonnell5147]

This is very helpful thankyou

[@GoodDoginaBox]

So glad you found value in it Emma! Thanks!

[@angelpoopie9368]

i dont like putting dogs in crates i want them too feel safe and free to explore and find there own place to sleep where they feel comfortable

[@laocoste4966]

Angel Poopie the crate is their safe space. After mine was trained I left the crate open and she would go there and sleep with the door open. Hide in it when it storms. It will turn into a place where they feel safe.

[@rodneysrecreations469]

With proper crate training, your dog will think the crate is the most safest space. Having a crate can make having a dog way easier. It makes them more obedient and less stressed. Dogs should also earn freedom, not have it 24/7 because that will lead to disobedience and unloyalty. They can sleep, eat, play, and feel safe in the crate. You want them to have a specific spot to go to when sleeping, or when you have family over and the dog doesn't want kids touching him. learn how to teach your dog crate training.

[@angelpoopie9368]

oh thanks i did not know that many people have thier own apinion i dont clip my dogs nails either

[@angelpoopie9368]

i should have put a period between that and many

[@rodneysrecreations469]

I don't clip my dogs nails, because we are always out and about, walking a lot naturally keeps them filed. But also, long nails can be silently painful for them. The blood supply can grow too big and the dogs nails will continue to grow. It's not opinions, it's fact. The fact is that dogs are set up for success and preform better when crate trained. It's an opinion whether you want to or not, or if you disagree, but it's hard to disagree with general facts.

[@reneporto-ai]

Very helpful! Thanks a million. 😊

[@sage6336]

great idea keep them in a box

[@dianachung8173]

I live on the 5th floor. Any suggestions whether it's better to use a puppy pad for the first week or to train the dog to go outside immediately?

[@lxx1798]

Diana Chung try to train it to go outside but have puppy pads down just incase x

[@trevorhulsey2659]

what medications should i get for my dog to prevent heart worms, fleas, tics, etc? He is just over a year old and I don’t have his history on this kind of stuff. I’m not sure what all is necessary, but i want to keep him healthy as well as happy

[@GoodDoginaBox]

I would suggest asking your vet, but keep in mind there are numerous natural products that can be used instead of all the harsh, toxic flea treatments.

[@uzazil]

Use interceptor plus and Frontline. Look for your dog's weight

[@ReilyReedSlatkinakaCOBilf]

Amen

[@tulipsontheorgan]

Fantastic!⭐️

[@Yeewen88]

Please consider a raw diet

[@tumble9674]

Though I probably won't get a dog, I like being prepared so if it's alright I have a question. When we're away or such where should we put the crate? In a quiet room like a bathroom? A bedroom? I'm quite confused, and also where should we put the dog's bed? Should we one bed in a specific room? Like a bedroom or living room? Sorry if I sound nosy or something I'm just very curious cause I've never had a new pet. Anywho, thanks for the great video! :)

Ideally your dogs crate should be in a low traffic area (and not your bedroom). You shouldn't move the crate around as it might confuse the dog. You can and should crate your dog if you are not home, but you need to remember this cannot be done for long period of times. If it's a puppy, the time is even less (due to small bladders). Ideally a dog should never be alone 4+ hours.

[@rainbowpanic5632]

Once your dog gets more responsible through training you can let them free roam the house when you're a way. Teach them not to chew on things and give them toys/chews so they have something to do and won't even need to chew on household items or furniture.

[@SaroDogTraining]

Halti is science based, family friendly tool in your opinion? That's a tool that should not be used especially on puppies and young dogs because it causes pain. Anyone is now calling any type of dog training, science based. I am pretty sure, science, does not suggests using tools but methods.

[@SuperMichelleDJ]

I don’t agree with crate training because the den is not a natural place for the dog. Dogs don’t need training to live in a den. Teach the dog that your home is a den, they do not need to live in a cage. The only time a dog should be crated is when it’s safety is in jeopardy such as life-threatening emergencies, vet checks etc. we never can find children except for in emergency situations, so please don’t can find the dog for the very same reason.

[@c.chonii5568]

Of course using the crate for exessive periods of time is never good for you dog, unless for emergencies. But when they've just be brought home to a foreign place and they need to find a safe place to process, a crate is good outlet, because that's what a crate should be, a safe place, not a cage. Use them or not, just remember that crate training isn't the same as locking up your dog, it can actually help them overcome Seperation anxiety, Isolation distress, Boredom, etc.. when used right of course.
