100% agree. I’m on my second wire Fox Terrier and these guys are the best. He will actually climb mountains with you while at the same time arguing with you over toys. That is the way of this terrier my friend. She will be very loyal and loving. But also very feisty. You need to show her you are the boss. Or she will make herself the boss.

It really doesn't get any better. A warm bed, simple tasty food, and a Dog by your side. And being able to have choices on how to spend your days.❤️

[@returningtoearthtv8836]

Rocko is a Goliath of cuteness. Adorable. So cool to see her learning the systems: the kennel, the backpack. You’re a good Dog Dad Foresty. What a dog life she is having! Also pretty cool to see you chilling out a little on the missions - adapting them for Rocko and also for your own health and energy level. You push pretty hard it seems to me. Thanks for the beautiful sunset!

[@Vickyplaits]

She's grown so much already. I love how having her, is making you think about how far you can walk and then thinking about your own health needs - Rocco is so good for you. Sad to see her find plastic (or was it glass) rubbish in such a beautiful place.

[@Lorenzo-vd4jb]

Looked like a plastic wad from a shotgun round

[@1jackvalley580]

It looked like the top of a glass bottle neck that Rocko found, glad she didn't get cut.

[@empress2500]

You seem so much happier ever since Rocko came on the scene. Your gentleness with her is loving. I love how you are so concerned about her well-being that your life now revolves around her and doing what is best for her. You are going to have so many years of adventure with her and I can't wait to see it

[@Ay-B]

I've never been so happy for someone else's puppy!!! I love Rocko!

[@darrellcaruk8880]

Great comment. Couldn't agree more.

[@treasuringpricelesstime5962]

Hello. Congrats on your sweet pup. She's beautiful. I would like to offer a kind suggestion. As someone who has over 20 years of owning JRT's ( Our current 4 y.o. Male is a JRT/ Shiba Inu mix), I would suggest that you start training little Rocko not to chase your broom, beg for food, etc now. It's cute when they're a pup, but whatever behaviors you allow now you will be dealing with still in 10 years or working hard to undo. We learned over time that the earlier you train for behaviors you want, (as well as discourage behaviors you will not appreciate in the future), the better it is for you and the pup. Enjoy your new family member!

[@clovermark39]

I was thinking that! 👍🏼

[@annapacheco5996]

Totally agree

[@FBall-im8ui]

Great advice have had dogs for 60 years and yes the sooner yo create proper behaviour the better, but in this video it was strictly entertainment value hahahahah

YESSSSSS I agree! Please look some youtube on training a service animal (puppy) they have great ideas and start them quite young! Yer a great dad Forest! And its good to see you again!! We've missed you!

[@rangerannie5636]

And that's why I don't "baby talk" my dogs. They're not surrogate or "fur" children. They're canine companions and I treat them with respect. Treat your puppy with respect and the adult dog will respect you.

Right on Rocko's safety. Oh, she is so adorable! My sister took my son's chihuahua for us (I could only have my dog-his sister- where I moved to) and she lived out in the country and would let him run :'( Sure enough, he got attacked by something and was in the VET ER for a few days. There are special vests with spikes on them for small dogs to wear to prevent wild animal attacks on them. And, always use a harness please on her, as you sure don't want to ever have to pull her up to safety by her neck.

Rocko is very funny. What a life for her, all the hikes. She just motors along well, really liking them.

[@MsDesignDiva]

She is such a cute puppy, and I definitely think it's time to start some "leave it" training. it's cute when she's a pup but once she's fully grown it won't be so cute her attacking the broom, animal poop, random other things on the ground etc. How my family did it with our dog was to use a treat, set it in front of the dog and tell him to leave it with our hand covering it, soon as he looked away from the treat that's when he got the treat in our other hand, basically it's training the dog to ignore whatever is interesting to them and getting a reward that's not what was interesting to him (because generally whatever we're telling the dog to leave alone is something we wouldn't want the dog eating or focusing on) gradually we could tell him to leave a treat on the ground completely uncovered and he wouldn't touch it. The key is to start the training young. Eventually we could just be out somewhere, he'd see something interesting, we'd say "leave it" and the most he would do is sniff it then walk away. Just a thought. 😊

[@rjensen2586]

I agree that "leave it" is one of the most important things a dog should learn when they're young, as well as having good recall. There are different ways to train it, but positive reinforcement is still the most important part whether treats are involved or not. :) Jack Russells are so smart! I think with talking to her constantly and using consistent commands like "leave it," "no chew," "Rocko come," "stay," and "quiet," she'll pick things up soooo quickly as long as there's a really enthusiastic "good girl" attached to the end each and every time she gets it right. And yeah, sometimes a treat too. Lol. I love how attached to you she already is! Freakin cute.

[@howzitnani]

I may be wrong but she could get sick from eating animal poop. I know for sure leptospirosis is caused by drinking contaminated water or licking area where there is urine from an animal with the bacteria. Love ❤️ Rocko!

[@hotlavatube]

Such a cute pup. I worry about the van interior temps going up as you head into summer. You might have to engineer something to address that or just start wearing Rocko in a papoose when you go into stores.

[@itspatriciajones]

I live in my SUV a number of months a year for business travel. The temps are hard in the summer as you can’t leave a dog alone at all… and it can still be quite warm during the day. I find I have to go to the gym before sunrise (workout abs or shower) and grocery too off 15 mins for the late night stores close. I use a soft crate for my corgi and basically just bring it outside under the awning a lot during the day which she will often do.
