Trip's personality is fantastic. Definitely an intelligent dog. It would be cool to see safety training with him- how to behave when you're splitting wood, cutting trees, starting fires, etc.

[@waynejfoster9860]

I think working with fire is going to be really hard to teach Tripper but then again he seems, (to me) to be a real natural when it comes to the outdoors so far. I know some people will scoff at this or say it's a load of rubbish (but I believe and that's all that matters) but Scoots is with him and letting him know it's all ok and he is 100% safe with Joe, and what Joe does and what Joe says.

Joe, I am so excited for you and your newest addition to the family. I also am so envious of the great memories and the fun adventures you and “Tripper” have ahead of you. My most sincere and respectful condolences for the loss of your beloved, “Scout” he was a great dog and companion. I know you are not trying to replace, “Scout”, we, your fans know you loved him VERY, VERY MUCH, as well as all of us. But, you do deserve to once again be happy with another dog and have more adventures. Scout holds a very special place in your heart and that has always been easy to see. “Scout” had his place and “Tripper” does and will have his own special place in your family and in your hearts. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family and I am so proud of how far you’ve come from your early days. I get excited every time I see you’ve posted a new video. You have my utmost respect and I am so glad all those years ago, that I found your channel and I easily became a huge fan. Good luck in your training of “Mr. Tripper”. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will be successful in this newest, albeit, difficult and patience trying endeavor. Keep doing that VOO-DOO that you do and I anxiously look forward to your 2nd installment of, “Training Tripper”. All my best to you and yours, From a forever fan. God Bless and be careful out there my friend. P. S. I was on FB the other night and I mentioned you to CREEK STEWART. I sooooo miss, “ Fat Guys in the Woods” and I don’t care what anyone says...you were rockin’, “ ALONE”. I was pulling for you and it broke my heart when you lost your Ferro Rod and you had to tap-out. No worries brother, honest mistake and it could’ve happened to anyone else just as easily. Respectfully, STEVE SNYDER

[@rickwelin9773]

2 BOATING DOG TIPS: (30 years experience) - 1. - Carpeting as Joe shows. Dogs try to hang on with their claws, and shiny hard surfaces are scary on moving boats. I use outdoor black rubber-backed runner and welcome mats etc. 2. - WHITE TOWEL for hot days in small boats: You can dunk the towel in the water and lay it over your dog to cool him/her. The white reflects sunlight, and the water evaporates creating an "evaporation chill". Extremely important, as dogs are far more susceptible to heat-stroke than humans. (No sweat glands / fur). Awesome channel Joe!

[@trybriguy1357]

I agree Bob Cabral, showing you love them and spending a lot of time together, shows them that there's a big difference between discipline and training. I feel you spend all the time you can in the beginning, you need to bond with the pup like a mother would, at one point, they know who the master is in the pecking order, like the growing, he's showing Joe he's the boss, and Joe has to jump right on that, by taking away the food and saying "NO" and then giving the food right back to him showing your not in competition with him, your showing the pup he's number two!!

[@GamingBT]

@@trybriguy1357 Canines live in packs and follow a leader, the problem occurs when the owner doesn't make it clear to the dog that he is the leader. In that case, canine instinct will make the dog take the role of leadership. Joe is making him understand he's the pack leader, and he can be trusted.

[@trybriguy1357]

@@GamingBT Well, I understand that, and he should be showing the puppy he is the leader, it's like pecking order in chickens. I understand exactly what he's doing, I was only making the point that the dog should learn words, and the first one I think is no, so the puppy learns the word and understands from the leader that it's not to be tolerated, only my point. Once again, this is what's worked for me, I'm not a trainer, so take my points with a grain of salt, Thanks.

I want to say thank you for letting her enjoy camping sitting on the couch. When i saw what she was watching and started watching with her she told me all she knew about you and your family. She cried when scout passed . she knows all about Doug also. Thank you guys very much for what you have given us. Brenda

[@schlorchable]

[@topherjoe1]

Now it is summer I hope you have been teaching him how to swim. Some dogs fear the water and have to be taught how to relax and stretch and swim in the water. Good for you for keeping him leashed. There are dog life jackets that have handles on them for lifting them out of the water, we were boaters and all our friends dogs had them when they went out on the water, great for the times where they slipped between the dock and the boat (it happens) where they could become disorientated and swim under the dock and drown - a quick reach and out they come. Grabbing wet fur or legs is not productive lol. I am so happy Tripper is enjoying his adventures with you!

[@RICHat22]

Everything I've seen you do so far is right on. He is going to learn as fast as you can teach him. It will only get better next few months as he learns you and what you expect. And he will calm and learn discipline as he ages. Keep in mind my Bella just turned 2 and was started at 8 weeks in the woods and water. Only thing I see is get that food aggression stopped immediately. It's just the puppy in him. You did good by taking his food, but wait a few seconds before returning it to him. But make sure you always give it back when he calms down. Honestly I lightly popped mine on the nose, said NO in a stern voice, took her food, and then gave it back a few seconds later after she obeyed me. There was not a 3rd time....Ever. This dog is yours, He knows you are his master and wants to do good for you. Over the next few weeks teach him to be quiet. I have my Heeler trained to be absolutely silent away from home unless other people/animals/danger approaches us. Also, she is trained not only to my words, but hand signs and motions. I recently learned that she also can read my body language and tones (fully expected) and also to READ MY LIPS. No joke. I was playing with her one night in a training session and realized she spends so much time watching my face, she understands a few thing like sit, down, up, and stay reading lips. Crazy smart some dogs are. Again, well done. You are going to be amazed and excited as you go down this new road again. :)

[@edwinhaise1332]

repetition is everything as long as you stay with in his focus and I agree stop that food aggression immediately good luck and keep it up dont give up nothing good is ever easy

absolutely about lips . trained dogs don't really know just verbal queues but intentions and what you mean . quiet /whisper training is a good addition for obvious wilderness reasons .

[@anitapaulsen3282]

I can't say for sure, but I think the reason my dog doesn't ever growl if I put my hand in his dish or near his food is because I often hand fed him as a puppy, so naturally my hand was touching his food and it meant he was getting food so it was a good thing.

Some of her favorite things such as going on walks and playing with other dogs used to be scary for her. We have tought her to sniff out a toy in our home and she is amazing at it and loves doing it. We've tought her some commands and hand signals and she is doing great. I'm not saying your wrong but sometimes you need to wait. It is best to do it early with puppies.

Fantastic work! With the growling, it's really important to interfere with his food while he's eating, for every single meal, until he learns that it's not his food and that you're letting him have it.He's such a smart puppy and you're such a good owner, I have no doubt that you'll have him accepting interference and proximity from others while he's eating in no time.

gets me every time. when Tripper jumps. . or tries to jump n the boat but just a bit to early.

By the way, the Dutch shepherd (Hollandse Herder) are very loyal, reliable, alert, intelligent and obedienced dogs. When treaned well and socialised from early age they will be your best friend for life! Can't wait to see more video's!

I am very proud of you for learning how to get your puppy use to the boat. You are giving him confident along with it all. I can't wait to see you both out camping together. Have fun and good luck.

As a person who has trained many assorted animals (birds snakes cats dogs ferrets and even a rat) I have to say its not just you who thinks Tripper is extra smart, especially for his age. Sometimes you might think his progress and eagerness to be the perfect pack member is natural and typical, but not to his level. the food growling can be discouraged with one really abrupt and load "Hey!" followed by quiet words saying "you don't growl at me." he currently thinks its no biggie, but people give food AND they decide when your done. Your the pack leader. Great video of a great pup!

[@DarthFetid]

hello from Tasmania, Australia. wow you've done so well, and that's one smart pup. "i suppose i did say 'in the boat.'" lols classic, i think he got you on that one joe. looking forward to more in the series.

[@mhar997]

"Good boat!" haha Hi Joe, from Matt in Sydney Australia

[@hermit6208]

Yeah. Those Swifts look good to me!!

[@Jbfoster55]

Tripper has grown so much! You've done such a great job at training him. He learned all the canoe commands really quickly and took well to being in the water. It'd be great to see how you train him to not growl when he has food. Hopefully he outgrows it with the good care and training you and your family provide him. Love the videos Joe!

[@kathryndamron3238]

Training a high drive, protective dog is an exciting adventure in itself. Two Dobermans have taught me so much and kept me humble ( lol! ) I have found that love and the relationship and trust are keys, which you've always demonstrated. Have fun!! Can't wait to see more videos as Tripper and you grow together.

[@leelynch7835]

He's a handsome little boy, i hope you and him have many amazing adventures together.
