[@Fashioknitsta]

Awww...it’s Baby Herky and Baby Mai😍 Great video!

How long did it take to potty train Herky? :)

[@megangreene3955]

I am getting a Cavalier Spaniel. Looking forward to it. I just need to put the deposit down.

[@billycutlersr4927]

I miss my baby boy, who passed away at the age of 17 1/2 years young. Alfie was his name. I nicknamed him, " Target " targee" because that was the mark that he had on his side. Would I want another Cavalier King Charles spaniel.? You can take it to the bank I would. Your Herky reminded me of Alfie. Mai, may you have many more years of happiness and joy with Herky. 💔💙❤

[@billycutlersr4927]

I did enjoy your video on, " Crate Training a Cavalier. " * * * * * I just wish that I had more and better knowledge of the breed.

Hi I'm getting a puppy soon and when do you know when to ignore them while there crying? Like starting from the first night or later?

[@beccaholt9912]

Hi! I love your puppy videos, this one was especially fun to watch and very helpful! So I'm hoping to save up to get a Cavalier King Charles by the end of this year and I was hoping you could do more care videos like grooming, normal behaviors for the breed, exercise tips, other training videos and diet videos? That way I can have a better understanding of the breed and have all the important things down before I find and bring my pup home :)

[@FUNSTONTV]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment :) of course, I'll be noting down your requests and do a video of those topics! They will probably be separate videos, stay tuned! :)

Hi! What are the dimensions of the play pen? Specifically its height. I'm concerned that my pup will manage to somehow jump over the fence.

[@minqx]

I don't know should I get a Cavalier or, a mini maltease😧 Can you give me advise, what should i get? Help pls

[@astrotiger9864]

I just got my puppy, and she keeps on crying and moaning in her crate And she wants to sleep in arms or beds but I know everybody she sleeps with on their beds she will growl and bite to get off their bed. Any advise??

[@sonnssning]

she's SO CUTE!

[@FUNSTONTV]

+sonnssning THANK YOU so much! :D I think she's great too, but I may be biaised ;) xoxo

[@dhillydallyfilms5866]

Unfortunately, my puppy when he goes into the crate, he cried so much and so loudly. When we let him out he was soooo happy, but when we put him back in, he cries so loudly. Have any advise?

[@kiaturunen]

DhillyDally you need to wait long until the crying stops before letting them out. If the puppy keeps noticing that crying gets them outside of the crate then that's not good. I think your dog has already noticed that so it might take longer to train them back to good manners. But if you keep doing it in the same way it will pay off. :) good luck!

[@WestSide-hl1dl]

My advice is to watch the video you commented on??

[@ninahsalmeron5846]

Hi ! How long do you leave her alone I don’t want to leave my dog in his crate for to long

[@nostalgia3720]

I might be getting a cavalier King Charles spaniel soon is there any crates in the uk I should get? Please help.

[@ninastos4467]

This is great. I am currious is she eating trash or anything other from the street? I am currently walking 4 cavaliers (different age from 4months to 10 years) and they are all like vacuums while we are in our walks

[@jenbrown3357]

Hi!! I'm getting a Cavalier this weekend!! From a breeder of course. I'm hoping that the pink in her nose will turn black. Did that happen to Your girl? And everything you had to say about training is so spot on!! My stuborn pug was potty-trained pretty fast using the crate and good praising!

[@FUNSTONTV]

+Jen Brown Hi Jen :) I'm SO HAPPY for your expanding family :) You will be so happy and it will be the best time of your life! My babygirl had a black nose every since we got her! Some cavaliers still have pink in their noses, but some turn black over time. Actually, Herky's nose is getting more brown with time now. She just turned 2!

[@anyonebutyou87]

When she was 8 weeks what was the longest time you left her in the crate for?. I'm getting a puppy within the next month or 2 and want to crate train him but during the 10-12 week mark (because I have to work) I won't be able to release him from the crate so he can do his business. The longest he'd be left for would be a min of 3.5 to a max of 4hrs until I got home during lunch. I was looking at doing a play pen with a litter tray up until the 12-16 week mark when he could hold it a little longer than introduce him to the crate.. is it too late to crate train at that stage because he has learnt something different?

[@FUNSTONTV]

+anyonebutyou87 As soon as we got her, she spent the first night in the crate. I would say the first 2-3 nights, she slept 3-hour segments at a time. But soon after, she slept full 8-hour nights :) Are you only getting your pup when he'll be 12 weeks old? If so, maybe the breeder will have started the crate training? If not, I think he'll be able to hold for 3-4 hours. I think it's a good idea to get accustomed to the crate as soon as possible. They really like it, actually. I only switched her to the play pen when she was about 5 months old and wouldn't fit in the crate anymore. But if you want, you could put the crate in a play pen. I hope this helps you, and please don't hesitate if you have any other questions :)

This might be a silly question but do you ever use a puppy pad inside even though Herky is trained? Great video btw.

[@FUNSTONTV]

Hi! We never used pee pads, so Herky and Milton don't really know how to use them anyways :) Thanks for watching!

What if your dog cries for more than an hour?

[@billycutlersr4927]

Mai Tran; It is a shame that I am unable to post Alfie's picture, or can I?

[@abbyxcrabby5735]

How many times did u take her out during the night when she was around 8 weeks?

[@FUNSTONTV]

The first night we got her, I got up every 2 hours! It was painful. But then after that, I started to take her out at every 4 hours, then 6 hours within that week!

[@brittanyreyn7126]

So I'm living in a fairly nice spacious 1 bed 1 bath apt, I have a deck that I plan to block off so the dog can get fresh air when I'm not taking her out. I plan on getting a dog since I live alone the apt is like 820 or more square feet and the complex has a dog park and stuff. So it's a good environment. I plan to get a cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy, and spend as much as needed to make my dog happy. I already am planning on training classes and everything. I was thinking of doing pee pads inside in the bathroom or something while I'm gone. I want to crate train him, but I don't plan on keeping my dog stuffed up, I want us to sleep in my bed together. Is that possible? And any extra tips?

[@FUNSTONTV]

It's possible to have your dog sleep in the bed with you, I've seen some people do it :) I would just be careful for accidents in the bed, especially if your dog is not potty trained yet :)

[@radosawlabocha1822]

Nice video! I want to get a dog and if i ever get i will get a cavalier king charles or a pekingese. I want a cavalier so bad but im afraid of health issues they have! :/ So i might get a pekingese instead ( if my parents let me lol )

[@FUNSTONTV]

They have a lot of health problems indeed, very sad :(

[@jplistick9171]

Great videos. I train my Cavaliers much as you do. However, I prefer to give almost NO treats when training. I have always used positive reinforcement. Lots of praise for following a command. Cavaliers have a tendency to gain weight, so I use fewer treats. I do enjoy your videos and use many of the same training methods with my puppies.

[@Thvndar]

Would you suggest that a first time dog owner get an older dog instead of a puppy?

[@FUNSTONTV]

I don't think it's necessary! Herky was my first dog, and I got her when she was a puppy! Everything went well :)

[@Thvndar]

thanks for the advice :)

[@bishnucl8931]

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about puppy training videos try Debuncar Perfect Dog Aid (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

[@nothanks9804]

Hello there! I have a few questions. My birthday is this February and I am finally going to get my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I am still in school, so I won't be able to be at home for 6 to 8 hours every day ( except for breaks and Satrudays and Sundays, obviously ). My question is, should I wait until summer break so I can be with my puppy 24/7 until he gets used to me and until I potty train him? I have a very strict mother who only agreed to get me a dog because I am mostly alone, so she told me if she'll get me a dog, she won't take care of it. What should I do? And if you teach your dog to do it in a special spot in your house, do you need to take him outside as well ( aside from taking him outside to play ) to go potty? I live in an apartment, so I don't have a yard.

[@FUNSTONTV]

+Aiden Estheim Hi there! I think it's better to wait until you can be with the puppy 24/7. That way, the puppy can get used to you and you can potty train him properly :) I also think you can potty train your puppy in a specific spot in the house (use pee pads), but that doesn't prevent you from doing it outside to play as well. I think they will naturally know (eventually) to pee outside, as well as on their pee pads :) Hope this helps you!

[@nothanks9804]

Thank you very much!

[@FUNSTONTV]

+Aiden Estheim You're welcome! :)

[@nothanks9804]

Oh, and are they hard to train? Like, will it take long until he'll start coming to me when I call him and basic things like that?

[@oliviaholmes213]

+Aiden Estheim ill try and help i dont own one but i am and ive did research i think its hard for all dogs in my opinion to learn tricks such as sitting and learning their name i also tbink personally u should get one for ur birthday in febuary because then in our six weeks holidays or whatever u will behable to spend more time and less time on ttaining if u know what i mean so it will already know its name and ull be able to walk it but if j r gonna get a dog and dont wanna spend a lot of time training a Yorkshire Terrier will do because they learn rrally fast and they have a mind of their own but with a bit of training will learn whos boss and if u look at the world smartest dog its a Yorkshire Terrier so i recommend them but they do have problems like the cavalier so if u dont want a dog with a lot of problemz or any really thr toy fox terrier will do itd a short hair small to medium size when fully grown no problems easily can get trained and also gets sue to all apartment or houses i think i hoped i helped if u have any more questions i would like to help even if its on a specific dog im only 13 but ill do alot of research about dogs and how they adapt so if theres another dog in mind ill be happy to help.

[@amyortiz279]

My dog will literally pee and poo underneath herself. So frustrating.

[@BeautyByIqra]

What did you do overnight? Do you wake up for potty breaks?

[@FUNSTONTV]

+Iqra Khan Hi! :) For the first week or so I would wake up every few hours to go potty, and then back in the crate. I would go longer and longer each night between potty breaks, and she was able to hold it for 8 hours easily after 2 weeks :) She never had accidents in her crate!

[@maryamabbas5957]

Does ur dog bark a lot when ur sleeping at night??!!

[@hailley8960]

so if I bought a 4month cavalier right when summer starts (june) and I do everything right and summer comes to an end (August) how do I adjust her to my school schedule without her feeling neglected. cause my school starts at 9 and ends at 3:10 and I don't get home until 3:45 and most likely someone will be home to let her go to the bathroom. But I just don't want her to feel neglected and/or not loved. Because I'm very affectionate towards my dogs

[@MrMs66]

i would also like to know. i'm in the same boat

[@FUNSTONTV]

Hi there! Cavaliers tend to have separation anxiety, so I'm not going to lie, it will be difficult on the puppy. I was in the same situation, but with work! I was at home with her almost everyday until she was 1, and then started work full time. She was very anxious at first and very sad when I left in the morning. I find that if she has something that smells like you (like a tshirt), it can really help. You can also shower the puppy with love once you get home :)

[@tobeycat218]

Why do you let her bite your fingers? What if she did that to a neighbor or a small child?

[@puffjelly]

You don't understand it the right way. The thing is that young puppies have their mouth on the inside itching yes, I mean like they also have teeth that they have to lose to grow new ones. The baby teeth (the ones they are gonna lose) aren't really that sharp. Mine bites my fingers all the time and it is okay it doesn't really hurt. Of course I wouldn't let it bite a young child and neither would she.

[@eriks3594]

Why cant she just Go arround in the Home when shes alone?

[@puffjelly]

.. Maybe because she _might_ bite things and maybe destroy something. I mean there are many things in the house she can eat like kables the pillows etc. I also have a dog (puppy) He would probably do that as far as I know him. But he is a good boy overall.

[@sparrowfight5548]

8 weeks is way too young for a puppy to leave it's mother. Minimum 14 weeks gives the mother time to teach her puppy to learn to pee outside .the mother teaches a puppy so much in these weeks. So much easier than cruel crating.
