Thanks for watching "How To Bond With Your Puppy And Strengthen Your Relationship", how's the bonding going with you and your puppy?

[@amalianagy7778]

First here yay-

[@vlogsxlexi]

I’m getting a new puppy on Sunday! And I have watched a lot of your videos and they helped me a lot !

[@devinvillegas5048]

I kicked my new puppy like an extra point

[@tonyjebroni3655]

My German shepherd puppy is 5 months and is about 50 lbs, very strong!!! My puppy likes to bite feet and legs and jumps up on everyone!

[@danielagonzalez9372]

I really love that you mentioned “domination” so many trainers focus on letting your dog know you’re the “alpha” but the first thing I learned in my behavior and training class is that domination and being the alpha has no correlation to proper training.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Snaps for you!!

[@silk_lily]

I've been binge watching your videos for the past few months as I got ready to bring home my first puppy. Gingerbread has now arrived (10 week old yellow Labrador who I am completely smitten with) and she's doing great. Your advice has helped more than I can say. One suggestion - maybe you could make a video on choosing a brand of food for puppies. There is so much advice out there and I'd love your take on it! Thanks again

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thank you for your feedback! Just like with food for humans, there are many differing opinions on the best food for our dogs. We do not give advice on the type of food you should offer your dog, but we do like to share this resource with you. We feel that it’s a great source of information as you seek to find the best source of nourishment for your dog. Using this as one of your many sources of info is recommended. www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

I'm so glad!

[@alleyernst7666]

Great, helpful video! Your videos always help to remind me to think more like a dog 🐕 I'm sure my pup appreciates it!

[@amalianagy7778]

My puppy was very energic at 1-3 monts and now at 6 months she is a lazy potato

[@sweetculpa3570]

Must be a big girl? Cane Corso?

[@amalianagy7778]

@@sweetculpa3570 No she is a Maltipoo the cross-breeding of a poodle whit a bishon maltese. This breed could have the infinite energy of a poodle or to be lazy like bishons, and as I can see she got more of her dads genetics(bishon genetics)

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.

Oh I hope mine turns onto a potato...😂

[@hollybernier2000]

Great info

[@andreafacchini2651]

Amazing video 👍🏻

[@Evinxonie]

An «AH-HA» moment for me was the concept of the threshold & when a puppy stop learning 👌

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thank you for sharing that! It's so common for us to want to push through with the training but just like humans who are in shut down mode and can't learn or process any more info, our pups are the same.

[@jonahmyatt1580]

Very looking forward to applying all of the things I've learned from your videos. My cavalier puppy comes home next weekend!

Hello from France! Tomorrow I will have my puppy female rothie name Sabra

I got today its so cute hope you train it well

[@arielgaede3673]

Thank you for the info on how to not pick up a puppy! I've done that a couple times with my brand new puppy and he yipped last time and I wasn't sure why!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You're welcome! You are not alone- it makes sense to our human brain to pick them up that way because it's how we pick up babies. Understanding the difference between dogs and humans is so interesting, right?

[@Dannylovesnoodle]

Next year im getting my first puppy (puppy. Not dog), rough collie, going to be a service dog. I will be coming back and will say if this video worked or not!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

It works if you work it! We wish you the best of luck with your future new puppy!

[@zachsheffield1325]

My puppy had no problem just going outside and walking around! In fact I’ve never seen that has a problem in any puppies that I’ve seen!!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

That's great! Some puppies put on their brakes when they get outside and are overstimulated.

[@abriannaeison1605]

I bred my dog and am keeping a puppy, they’re $5000 dogs. A rare breed. The havanese is an amazing dog. I bred mine with a toy poodle, my puppy is a havapoo. I’ve already started potty training all the puppies. They go to their new homes next week besides mine. The havanese almost went extinct and I’m glad they’re making a comeback

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thanks for taking the time to watch our video!

[@georgypjoseph3651]

[@richardbyrnes2135]

Hi, Michelle. I was surprised that you object to placing our hands in the dog's food when they are eating. I have used this technique with 3 Labs we have owned over the years, and it seemed to work out well. Because there were little kids around, we didn't have to worry about one of them reaching for the dog while eating. I never observed any untrusting behavior after training in this way. Of course, the duration of hands in the food bowl was brief, only for a few seconds. Can you please give me some feedback on this topic? Thank you.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Hi Richard! Just like humans would not love this approach when we are eating, it's not nice to do to our dogs either. Studies are now showing that it can make the dog even more reactive because they have reason to believe someone is going to mess with their food. It's better to be like the waiter at Olive Garden: drop off something yummy as you pass by. This increase your dog's trust with you. More info can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6evh3aOopaLgtE

[@msprofessr]

I am at my wits end. My puppy appears to be congenital with my neighbors, kids. But, not with me. Sasha is a 10 week old golden doodle. She digs her heels in the dirt and will lay flat to keep from walking. I implement positive reinforcements, leash control, etc. my list of concerns goes on.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

So sorry to hear that, Yolanda! We are here to help. We recommend starting with our Better Puppy Behavior Workshop to learn more about how your puppy's brain works and how to adjust your training dial accordingly. You can enroll here: howtotrainadreamdog.com/BPBWorkshop

[@maracox1236]

one ah ha moment for me was the way to pick up a puppy. Never knew about pinching nerves.

[@-casuallyexists-784]

-watching as writing btw- yeah biting is a big problem with my pup noah, and this vid will help me alot I can tell already- okay first problem, I cant even schedule myself so I'm DEFINITELY not gonna be able to schedule my dog, and my doggo Noah? Hyper active always so body language is all over the place- ah I almost rlly messed up there- ah shoot gotta pause vid -OH MY I rlly gotta apologize to my pup for not knowing how to pick them up, Okay! Got it, Thanks!!

[@julesl6910]

Thank you for your video, you are one of my favorites on this site. HOWEVER my pup is a girl, and you kept talking about all puppies as a boy and it was annoying lol

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Sorry about that! Its habit! I have boy dogs.

[@zachsheffield1325]

How do you get puppies/dogs unafraid of vacuums and power tools? Including drills and Dremel tools for nails.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

This video can help you with that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJiofIamorqimZY

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewdaltrey4676]

My ten week old lab puppy is quite different to what I'd imagined, and previously experienced. He's very independent, doesn't like to cuddle or be on the couch, and is overly smitten with the family dog, who cannot be bothered with him, and leading the puppy to ignore me. He is not particularly food motivated, and seems bored by toys, but not receptive to praise or attention. He is my world but I am having trouble bonding with him.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Your puppy is still young and learning new things and adjusting to his new environment. Keep working on the training and enrichment and you'll see him change with time. He may not ever be a big cuddler but you can strengthen your bond with the tips in this video.

[@victoriavigyikan4731]

I have a rescued Chinese crested she is maybe 1 year. Her first 8 months spent in a small box. Is she too old for puppy training? Do you start different with older dog?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You can teach an older dog new tricks! The oldest dog to go through our program was 12 years old. It may be a longer process, and you may need help. We recommend enrolling in the Pro Level of our course so you have support from Michele and the other trainers on our team. Here is the link to enroll in 30 Days to Puppy Perfection:

first oneb

[@Steve30x]

When I first started bringing my Cavalier King Charles on walks she would just sit and refuse to move if it was cold or damp. It was extremely infuriating. She would walk with no problem if it was sunny. It took almost two months to get her to walk. Three and a half months later (now) she loves to go walking. I started training her to stop and wait at pedestrian crossings. She stops and waits while sitting with her tail wagging nine out of ten times. If she starts to cross I tell her "wait" and she stops to wait. Then when it's ok to cross I say "ok" and she crossed the road. She keeps glancing me while waiting. At first she used to want to greet every single person but she's starting to pass some people without wanting to greet them. She's not pulling as much as she used to and she's stopping to sniff things less over time. Oh and I never multitask on walks. On potty accidents. Since I e had her since December 31st 2020 (about three and a half months) she's had about 10 accidents inside. She's been very good to let me know she wants to go out with two months. Her last accident was my fault. Two weeks ago She was after going out to the toilet an hour before bedtime so I thought she would be ok. While getting ready to go to bed and turning things off and making sure outside doors were locked she was on my bed and she owed on my bed. But three days ago we were playing with her toys and playing fetch , she stopped and sat at the door letting me know she wanted to go toilet. I left the door open and she owed then came back in and played more. While playing she will sit and wait for me to throw her toy and she sits and waits for her food. I think having a dog for ten and a half years helps a lot knowing how to train my puppy along with watching various puppy and dog training videos.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

This is all so great! Thank you for sharing your perspective.

[@Nashlyville]

Can you guys show beagles? I feel like all dogs are different and I have a beagle and I feel like there might not be enough information to train them

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Some breeds need the training dial turned up more than others, but the information we provide in our videos and training methods is intended for all breeds. You can learn more about the training dial in our free workshop, Better Puppy Behavior Workshop howtotrainadreamdog.com/BPBWorkshop

[@VaniaAjah]

I just have a 7 weeks old Beagle few days ago and because of the raining everyday and the vaccination isn't complete i trained her potty inside the house with potty pad, and she already does all of her business only after i move her above it twice. Surely i will train her to potty outside too after she get her vaccines, so later she will comfortable to pee or poo whether its inside and outside. Holding urine inside the bladder is dangerous, whether for dog or human and could caused bladder stones or even kidney stones which will lead to renal failure in no times even after the surgery. I don't want my new dog have the same experience as my passed away dog.

[@latosa18]

My Border Collie pup Zoë is almost 10weeks. She is getting to where she rolls over and tinkles a little when anyone wants to pet her. Our neighbors have a huge Pitbull that they let run loose all day even when theyre not home. So if I take Zoe outside and he is out, he starts barking at us and gets very close. She gets scared and sits between my legs. I have spoken with neighbors and they refuse to do anything. I really dont know what to do and fear Zoe will become fear reactive down the road

[@kikimm555]

How do you feel about shock collars?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

While aversive tools may serve as a quick fix, they affect the welfare of the animal and lead to some serious behavioral issues in the long run. Gaining an animal’s trust and building a common language between two different species (human and canine) is like building up a bank account. We make deposits into the trust account one positive interaction at a time. Alternatively, we make withdrawals with negative interactions, such as threats, force and punishment. Choosing to teach without coercion is not a denial that coercion is effective in changing behavior. But just because we can, doesn’t mean we should, especially when equally effective, safer and more humane alternatives exist. All behavior serves a function. It is our job to understand why it is happening and how we can help our pups navigate the situation.

[@zachsheffield1325]

I had a horrible trainer who was NOT effective in a POSITIVE way!! He put a choke collar on the puppy and then proceeded to use it very inappropriately!! He was yanking on it harshly! It was very inappropriate & the opposite of positive!! It was not even normal correction. It was a form of torture to yank on a choke collar!

We are so glad you recognized that and are no longer working with that trainer!
