GUARD DOG PUPPY Meets His New Training Partner!

[@kimsoucy6962]

Happy Birthday Sweet Angel 🎉😇❤🎈🎈🎈🎈🎂🎁

[@betsyneese4122]

Train on an empty stomach! Use his kibble and treat treat treat! Command to sit, treat then put on the leash immediately treat. Keep his attention focused on you while you hold the treat low and walk enticing him to walk towards the treat as you walk, give him the treat after a few steps and repeat repeat repeat. When talking to him hold a treat up to your face and reward when he looks at you. It teaches focus on you and makes him eager to follow commands. Multiple short sessions daily.

Let's see your other property!❤❤❤❤

[@AZJH8374]

You look spectacular in baby blue❤❤❤ Kevin!!!

[@AZJH8374]

EEEEEMU. EEE. 😊❤❤❤❤❤I love you guys

[@kellystephens077]

Tag you're it! 🐕🐕😄

[@Kathy98363]

Fun to see Russel and Skitter playing they got along well. He did good on the leash for the first time. Keep Smiling. Safe Safe (from the storm). God Bless Y'all And The Farm. ❤🙏

[@barbaradaugherty9626]

When you are leash training, try to keep the leash shorter so Russel has to walk next to you. If he resists, make him sit. When he sits, praise him and then tell him “come”. Be sure to praise him only when he does what you tell him.

[@michelelindseth8250]

Actually, eventually he should learn to walk beside your left side which is the standard with dog training. When he is bigger, his head should be near your left knee.

[@kerrywills8715]

I believe pups walk beside better due to knowing you are the boss and slacker lead better. Just stop and turn if they pull. Only my experience.

[@jt2553]

You made me happy about leash training! ALL dogs should be leash AND car trained. Recall “come” too.

[@snakey319]

yep basics, it's obedience training as well. Rachel will train him to heel, no doubt.

[@peacockgrandma]

We keep the lead short so thet walk in a heal position directly next to you. Its much easier to control them with the lead in top of their neck, not around the bottom. We also keep our instructions to 1 word commands. Russell Come. Russell Heal, Russell down, Tissell sit, Russell fetch, etc.. They don't understand sentences. Just short commands repeated with a reward

[@marywrigjt7614]

Slow but steady 👍

[@bobbieingram634]

Insurance made us made on time too. We had roof damage from a storm too. They wouldn’t replace but half our roof.

[@marciemiller6250]

When I leash train puppies I let them drag a leash, ALWAYS supervised. Like when you let Russell and skeeter play. Just drop the leash and let him drag it. They learn pretty quickly that the leash will not hurt them. They also learn some boundaries because they will step on it and pull themselves up short. But that has always worked to take away the fear of the leash. I don’t initially worry about them holding the leash however I never let them chew the leash.

[@Truthfully7]

Skeeter is Russell's fitness trainer 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰 UK

[@janetclaireSays]

Leash training probably needs to be done for a short time everyday and try not to take the leash off when they're pulling and complaining or they'll pull and complain just to get you to remove it. I can't wait to see Russell meet Mojo! It was fun to watch him play with Skeeter! Good luck with the weather!

[@michellespencer5449]

Kora's a good mama❤❤

[@annettebeavers7866]

Smeegle is a good training partner for Russell!!!!!❤❤❤ You help alot also, just talking while you walk him.❤❤❤❤

[@ThePique126]

Oh how cool the way Mom watches over baby Russell...so adorable 😍 💕 and Skeeter just having fun wants to play with the newbie on the block 😂

[@marywarren7509]

It's so cute with skitter and Russ playing.

[@angelpony1657]

You’re Absolutely Correct... Dogs Should Learn BASICS-FIRST. And THAT...Should Be TRUE For EVERY Dog. 🐶 WOOF.

[@mvmonly1]

We have them walk at our knee and use a small treat that is high value to the pup as immediate reward with a excited YES at the same time as the treat is delivered. So if he’s walking as you want him to hand down with the reward and YES but don’t stop. Continue to walk. Start with short walks and increase your time. He’s a smart pup. He will catch on easily. Train before you feed for best results.

[@PatLeblanc-k9t]

Russell is a very happy Puppy.🐕❤️Love Russell and Skeeter playing.❤️❤️❤️👍

[@laniking8779]

I am amazed at how Cora cares for her babies. And this is her first litter. I’m jealous of her mothering skills. Lol

[@floriebrown2089]

Russel will eventually get use to the leash I think he loved playing with Skitter that will be his little treat to go on a leash. It was so sweet as if he was saying, " help mother I am being pulled by the neck". Its fun watching you feed the animals and all the other interaction. Skitter is very responsive to your commands, very clever sweet little dog. UK.

[@carolb3122]

Russell looks so good in the red collar. He’s really growing quickly. Maybe get one of those treat pouches to have reward treats for Russell. That way he should follow the leash more easily.

[@meganmartin2037]

Mojo is the super special. I feel like he is your soul dog

[@dianafredette9469]

Love watching Skeeter play with Russell. So cute. He's so fast. Energizer bunny.... LOL

[@gaylevincent2397]

Enjoyed your video and seeing the animals ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Russel did a great job with the leash training ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@wendylang4047]

Training always takes time he will get there .. Russel is a super beautiful looking dog ❤

[@carolewarren9374]

You do what you can, don’t worry about what others think!!!

[@konetashelton4130]

Russell is one handsome dog.❤ MoJoe steals my ❤ too.

[@dianapadgett3089]

Consistency is the key. Like you said, doing a bit each day then the pup will get used to it. Just keep training sessions at about 15 minutes. Pups don’t have a huge attention span so don’t overdo. 🥰🥰🥰

[@dianneskolnik3605]

We used a clicker and a treat. And say come. Stick with the same command. Treats work great! Enjoy your farm kids!

[@BerylMatcham]

Leash training is important. He is so gorgeous x 😍

[@rockinrobin1007]

Mojo is a gentle giant. And he’s super smart. I think he thinks he’s part human (lol) cuz he’s a big part of the family.

[@mj.crafty]

Russel is growing up so fast❤he’s gorgeous. All your animals have great character 😊 thank you for sharing your day❤ I hope the storms doesn’t damage the farm take care ❤

[@jangrahame4891]

Leash training is important indeed. It is made easier by having Russell hungry and giving him lots of treats for every good command response and good walking with you.

[@ede-jomadden8182]

Kevin, if you stick with simple commands like, sit, stay, down, come, off, heel, and no, and everybody in your family agrees on the meaning and desired behavior, Russel will learn and not be confused. Keeping him on the lead is probably a good idea in the beginning until he can show you he understands. He's smart, so he'll learn as long as the humans stick with the program. (It's always the humans who mess it up !!). The other command I like is, Leave It -- meaning drop it, or let go. It's a handy command.

[@robinrobin02]

Another command I taught my dogs...'other side'. They go the side I want them to go to.

[@GorgyPorgy65]

Can I also suggest crate training....ONLY because if a dog isn't used to going in a crate, any major vet visit where they have to be caged is extremely stressful for them. Leading and cage training is just to make their older life less stressful. He is the most adorable puppy. So glad you kept him. He is actually growing like a weed...doubles every night , lol ! His feet have taken off....they are dinner plates now !

[@TLadret]

My advise is to concentrate most on recall as a dog mom of a super sized dogs myself. I trained hard when they were young; the age of Russel and now they will stick to me like glue if I request it. I’m 120 pounds, 55 year old woman and my dogs are Great Dane mixed with something (?) but they weigh in over 160 #’s of muscle so I certainly can’t overpower them if they wanted to. It’s just a joy to see a dog that loves to be with their people more than a rabbit or what have you right? Such an exciting time for you all, I’m glad to be along for the ride so thanks for including us! Russell is darling!

[@Ramona57-TX]

Russ is so cute and definitely has a mind of his own.

[@kluckbucket5118]

Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to see Russel and Mo Jo first meeting. Hope the hail passes right around you.🙏

[@amybeck9161]

God Bless y'all 💯 ❤ 🙏 🇺🇲

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

That was a good start for Russell. He will get use to the leash. We know he is fine but Cora was worried. She was so happy to have him back by her. She's a good mama. I think she knows he isn't leaving. She is attached to Russell. So is Leske, he's a great dad

[@cindywest9773]

I used training treats. They are little, about the size of dog food. Everytime he did what I asked he would get a treat. ❤

[@megmills4798]

God will protect you all you are His❤

[@Whateveryouwantittobe_]

You’re grandpa! 😂❤ Russell is so adorable

[@kimsoucy6962]

Wow every time I see little man . he's getting bigger 😭 So Very Cute 🥰

[@willworkforyarn4893]

How enjoyable to watch Russell play with Skeeter! I love how you talk to your animals. Your love for them is so evident.

[@pNred2567]

Russell's big , it will take a while for him to get use to the leash, he's not bad though Kevin,your doing great Kevin 👍 and as Mojos goes he's the best, one of the kindest dogs/animal on your farm and it's lovely to see ❤ my word Russell's very vocal this morning and hungry 😅 yes Kevin he's a good dog 😅

[@pamskyland4444]

Treats will be a big motivator with Russel. Just do any training before you feed him. Always a big hoot and haller when he comes to u. Try not to give commands when he isn’t paying attention. Treats will help with that. Thanku for being u and for doing what u do 🐾❤️🐾

[@michellespencer5449]

He just needs to get used to it let him plsy with it to adjust to it bless him ❤

[@constancebarrett1398]

Don't pay any attention to when people complain about the video making people have motion sickness. If it does they can just close their eyes and listen. I know you try to do the best you can.

[@patlechuga1944]

So good to see you. I have been worried about your family and all the animals. I am aware the weather has been bad. I did not want to see any of your animals that was lost to the storms. Please, Please post if this ever happens. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🙏🙏💕💕🙏🙏🙏

[@mariazamora7685]

You are doing great Kevin. Just takes time. Russell will be a great LGD. ❤

[@donnadiscordia3657]

Russell loves his daddy he is getting so big.

[@michellespencer5449]

Mojo and Russell are my favourite ❤❤

[@pammager7135]

I can tell Russell is getting bigger. His red collar looks nice on him.

[@elliepowers4151]

Fresh water always is a key to a beautiful coat. Change it often 😊

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

Russell is such a cute name. He reminds me so much of Daisy kind of gives my heart a squeeze.

[@joanmcdowell8080]

Hiya Kevin..I'm glad you are aware of the storms coming..I'm glad you n family are safe..stay safe..

[@yvonnegilmore712]

Hi Kevin and Rachel,👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@janetwithers7427]

That was fun watching you try to train Russell and how fast Skeeter is . Stay safe from the storms. ❇️💞❇️

[@vickilee2185]

Russell is growing quickly into the handsome guy he will become. He looks like a good fit for your family. Enjoy his puppyhood. Blessings

[@tammyschnedler7545]

Russell didn't seem to care about the chicken!❤

[@tjmiller5060]

I noticed that too, the earlier the better. Also, he needs to be around Smeegle a lot too. If not their prey drive kicks in when they see a chicken or cat take off running from them. They will give chase.

[@ThePique126]

Love Mojo what a sweet boy! ❤

[@michellespencer5449]

Mojo is my favourite he's got such a human character with in him❤❤

[@victoriasanchez8270]

The Mojo voiceover is hilarious! 😂 Little Russell is adorable with his lamb face ❤

[@anitamorales1506]

💜💜💜

[@paulet3682]

I think Smeegle is my favorite character. He always has to be in the middle of the action. No offense to anyone else, human or animal.

[@lilsuzq32]

Smee is the best -- you can tell he totally understands what Kevin is saying. Smee is what I call a "PuppyCat" -- PuppyCat was not a dog. PuppyCat was not a cat. He was *_PUPPYCAT_* !!

[@joanneriley3899]

@Reef816WoW! You’re a real ‘character’ yourself @Reef816, (albeit ‘character’ is not the name that immediately came to mind to describe you, when I first read your nasty response). It’s a shame you didn’t check out the 60+ 👍🏻 @paulettek3682 got in agreement with her views of smeagle before you left your snide comment. 😂

[@jeannieharrison2601]

​@Reef816the expression character is purely an expression. Well in England it is lol.....

[@KaTkAt212]

Lord Smeegle Of The Manor 😂 The stealth operative that sees all !! 😂😂

[@silverbullet7434]

Treats to train any animal !!! If they know the treat is coming they will learn really quick!!

[@dachsiema]

Playtime is great muscle development and learning social skills.

[@joanneganon7157]

Who's a Big Dog,good boy Russell ! Skeeter is all ears with his hairdo 🤣. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@csnanny1882]

Russel is going to be huge, he sure looks healthy

[@pkorns1892]

Training with treats usually brings good results! Russell is so cute!! Thanks for all the videos!

[@betty-janececile5214]

If you don't want to use treats just use his kibble he seems to love it

[@lynnd7018]

So cute 🥰. It’s so fun to watch them play and chase each other.

[@nanettechance6137]

Right after your video was done Cesar Milan came on! He’s probably the easiest trainer to follow. He trains people! 😃👍

[@lindsaymccartney2480]

Oh my goodness ,Russel is the cutest little puppy or should I say big tall puppy ♥️, I love his new collar it suits him , aw I remember those puppy and lead battles bless him love his little noises he makes

[@denieneremick6723]

She sure was it was really cute. It’s going to take time he’s just a BIG baby.

[@fifi2154]

We followed Cesar Milan method of training. He’s know as the Dog Whisper

[@patriciabonitz5758]

WOW! Russell is growing fast. I love his color. With all the nastiest going on in the world it's great watching videos like yours to take us from that part of the world. Teaching dogs is no easy task. Eventually Russell will come around. I love his colors. 😊❤❤❤

[@lilsuzq32]

16:00 - Kevin, you need to get some "pool noodles" and slice them lengthwise, and place them as "neck guards" for the emu feeder. Yoshi and Yoneg are rubbing the feathers off their necks!

[@robbiecail77]

I’ve tried telling them several times and nothing he even liked my comment.🤔

[@johnwatrous8982]

Leash training is just patience.

[@patriciabeyer8029]

The dogs are sweet. ❤❤

[@carolkula9390]

Great first lessons for Russell! 🙂 I was thinking that you could pick him up and carry him to the front yard to train and have Mojo get used to him, etc. After "sit" you can train him to come when using the leash. Say his name first to get his attention, then tell him to "come". Start with very short distances and gradually go backwards the length of the leash. When he comes straight to you, then reward him with a little bit of a treat. He looked so great playing with Skeeter. You could tell how much Skeeter was having. 🙂

[@PatriciaCrager-q2k]

He has really grown and so beautiful! Glad you decided to keep him. Love watching your videos and

[@elizabethbradley7621]

Also only one word at a time like Down, stay, come. You can use hand signals, too. That was how I trained my dogs. Love the video. Great work. ❤❤❤

[@timv6704]

I Think he going do good my friend he going be big dog wish you the best with him can not wait to see how big he get and how good he does on the farm . God Bless you and your family my friend🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

[@sandeepettit696]

Hi y'all. Kevin I love how you do the voices for the dogs , you have some pretty special animals there. God bless you all❤❤❤❤

[@jilllambert9120]

[@daniellondell311]

[@peggylamb4043]

You’ll be safe tomorrow. ❤

[@maryannevaught3315]

Russell COME is very important too. So cute to watch Skeeter and Russell.

[@hobbinpooter]

Russell has gotten huge 😊

[@nadineratuita2705]

I put a harness on my Dachshund and it was easier. Took time! Russ is a handsome boy!❤

[@gazza5230]

It would be great if you could film the hail, from a safe place, so we can see how big it is. I love all the animals and you and your family do a great job of caring for them. Of course Russ is super cute and very enjoyable to watch as well.

[@kazBrown4350]

OMG Russel is growing so fast! He's such a stunning dog! But I have to say MR Smeegle is my favourite if only he could talk 😂😂😂

[@esthermarygold-lowe4403]

Skeeter is so stinking cute

[@victoriasanchez8270]

Good job Skeeter! 😅❤❤

[@Queenbee-pm3nz]

Omg mr russell is getting big each time you do a video. Cant wait for him to see mr mojo. Sending all my love to all the family ❤❤

[@maschellewaits1161]

Russell is getting so big and still has a lot of growing to still do. Great job with him.❤❤

[@chitownmountain]
