Will, you look and sound like a very proud GSD owner, as you should! They are absolutely amazing companions, so freakin' smart, my boy is almost 3 yrs and I'm so completely thrilled with the bond that we have - Enjoy every stage of your journey 💙

Thanks for the videos. I have a German shepherd that's 3 1/2 years old now. Big improvements each year. Constant reinforcement training. Very sweet dog. Hardest thing to break was her getting excited and jumping on people. It took a long time to fix that. Crate training is a must. House training was a breeze, she never had an accident in the house. I couldn't have trained her as well as I did without a prong collar. Glad to see you got a great dog. I love how intelligent and eager to please they are. Wonderful breed.

Your videos have helped my dog so much. Her name is Lulu and she loves watching your dogs play and me trying to figure out what you’re saying half the time but thank you for these videos. They are helping out so much. Keep on it.

For people who are training for the first time, patience, planning & persistence. Your pup can't learn everything all at once. It's a daily,weeks, months thing Plan up. Training can get more complex after considering what the pup has already learned. Don't get down on yourself when you botch a command or a word. It's part of the process. The dog is good at business. It will do it's best to understand & do what you want if it likes the reward. The best time to train happens when the dog wants to interact; any time, all the time. Keep the treats handy It's one thing to read & see. It's another to do the training. It feels clunky, but it's getting better. Repition These are things I'm finding out

[@Cashbando-food]

You sound like you're doing well but if you want more info from videos then watch this guy.... Nate schomer. I don't even know why I'm still subscribed to will I learn nothing from him 😂

[@chelseag5923]

Hi from Australia :) I've been watching and loving your videos non-stop as we are bringing our 8 week old lab puppy home tomorrow. I'll be following your tips every step of the way :)

[@Stargazer-vk6vz]

Thank you for sharing ya'lls experiences with us. We are getting a new Miniature Schnauzer puppy in 6 days and we are praying our 9 yr old Miniature Schnauzer and her little sister will get along....

[@jamespugh8412]

Loving the journey with Reggie! We’re also 2 weeks in with our working line lab - your videos have been incredibly helpful! Our pup is crate trained and has had no accidents :) Will you start teaching Reggie to walk on a slip lead?

[@Pluscelamemechose]

My 6 wk puppy came home in 2 airplanes on a 10 hr trip. He slept through most of it. Atlas knows his kennel is his, knows he's safe with me, and is getting to know his sisters and yard. After he's had his 2nd set of shots, he can go about with me. He's slept through the night with his toy, which his brother played with before I made my choice. He only barks when he needs to go outside. Atlas will be 20 lbs at 8 wks, so I'll be happy when he can play with confidence and balance. Lol

[@John-lo4xz]

6 weeks old is 2 weeks too early.

[@Pluscelamemechose]

@John-lo4xz any older and he couldn't fit under the seat. It is what it is. Very well adjusted pup.

[@habataramdewasi463]

😊😊 true zlzxivb vbbg😅v❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂mjqj😂😂

[@Bittamin]

@@John-lo4xzyeah tbh though if the owner/breeder was out of their own sane mind enough to be offering up a 6 week this is almost a rescue 🛟 😅 the seller should be held responsible for this issue to a higher degree than an uneducated consumer

[@lindvi0r]

do you have any videos on setting a play stay area @3:55?

[@GrimGoudin]

When I found your channel you seems to have a hard time breathing just by talking. It's good to see that you are training YOURSELF as well and taking care :) You look so much more healthy now Will! Keep it up!

[@kimolson1547]

Where do I find the puppy course?

[@Eric-bh7jy]

Tried getting your free course. Did the email and got the code. Showed the different topics, but when I click on the video it says I have to enroll?

[@MalliMin]

I love the elevated bed. Where did you buy it?

[@EvelineUK]

He did a shopping haul video where he showed links for all he bought for Reggie and his training.

[@justilou1]

I bet everyone at the vet fell in love with Reggie too

[@itsallaboutthefood2879]

I have a olde English bulldog he's excited all the time he is crate trained but how do i settle him and how do i stop him from jumping up at other people and dogs ? He is highly food motivated but i took him for a walk yesterday sat stayed and waited then I said brake before we crossed over the road wich he is excellent at doing its just the jumping up and excitement that i need to master any tips would be awesome 👍🏼he's a lilac fawn white 1year and 1 month old 👍🏼

[@kevinwalls19]

I have a one year old labrador dog he is so clever and so good with our children he lives in the house with us and we live in the countryside problem is he will not stay at our house he keeps going round all the neighbours houses and will not come back when you call him .our children walk him everyday day and he is brilliant with them but as soon as the let him of the Leed he's gone. Then we have to jump in the car and go looking for him he has often went a mile and half, I would happily put in the work if I new what to do love your videos

[@saraandshe]

Stop letting him off the leash until he has a solid recall. Practice recall on leash indoors, then off-leash indoors, then on a long leash outdoors, then off-leash in a fenced yard (if possible). All before letting him run free.

[@Manic-172]

What vaccinations do you recommended and what do you not recommended

[@lane_lifestyle]

Just a note for the editor, the music is a bit too loud which distracts from the video. Lovely video tho 🙏🏻

I want to teach my puppy socialization as soon as possible, but in Brazil, it’s necessary to vaccinate them fully before exposing them to external environments or other dogs. Since this vaccination protocol can take months, how can I handle this situation?

[@evaphillips2102]

Stay away from buildings that look like they can afford security 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kimberlyguimond4186]

So far crate training is the only thing I have been perfect at. Potty training 95% successful. She sleeps through the night so that is wonderful!

[@Helloguy3264]

Hey! I just got a puppy and was wondering when i can start to introduze him to being home alone?

[@Kauposarapik]

The earlier the better. Start with a few minutes and increase it over time

[@andreaschmidt7119]

A German Shepherd bonds for life! By the time they're reaching teenage selling the dog is breaking the dog. It is a stronger bond than marriage between humans can be. Please keep that in mind.

[@colettensatu4234]

Hi, Your puppy Reggie is doing really well and it would be interesting to see who he picks as the one person who he'll be happy to please/ be loyal too in your family. I have a young German shepherd dog pet myself and although she has been socialised, I found that she was taken back seeing so many kids walking on the road after school hours. The issue was having too many people behind her as it's innate to guard, so she usually likes to be in a position to see all angles wherever she is. So, I will be taking her more and more during this time to see more young people as she usually only sees 2 of them in order to help her get comfortable. So, it would be worth it to see how your puppy does in this sort of environment and build on it. Looking forward to seeing more videos on Reggie's progress with his training and I may get more tips on how to train my dog on top of the dog training classes I'm doing with her :)

[@Romuls753]

Maybe it's bc I'm drunk, but that squat form does not look right. You should have kept your back parallel to the direction of travel to the bar, doing so reduces the risk of back injury

[@jordanatherton3672]

Are we related? Atherton is super uncommon family name haha

[@ThatEssentialAttire]

I get you've got to make a living but 95% of your content is talking about training rather than actually showing us how to train and the rest is all behind a paywall. The titles of your videos are very clickbait. Nearly 1mil subs and everything is behind a paywall when you must make a fair bit from KZbin Monetisation.

[@carmenpalacios8416]

Do it better

[@mackenziebell6070]

he legit said he has a FREE puppy course thingy

[@bull_pinheiro]

​@@mackenziebell6070 doesnt have actual info

[@cirvisis]

Oh wow, you are right. Sad to say that, but eh, yep

[@Sickoloko24]

Based comment ❤️

[@InfectAion]

Nice story bro. But what about the "how to train your puppy" thing? Stop using these titles when it doesnt has to do anything with the content in the video.

[@Cashbando-food]

Does anyone know where to get decent enough sized dog training biscuits in the UK obviously, I'm watching an American trainer by the name of Nate Schomer and he uses decent sized biscuits for luring exercises but all the treats I can find in pet shops/ b and m etc are absolutely tiny and not big enough to hold the way he tells you too. I don't want to go off another trainers now I've alread started to train my dog Nate's way plus it's like a million people have already said will Atherton etc don't actually show us what to do where as Nate does in basically every video he has! I don't live far from will either but I ain't paying to find out basic information after paying nearly 2 grand for a dog. Where do people think you get the money from. It's not like we are making a wedge of KZbin videos or anything 😆. Already make money off the videos as if that's not enough. I've ordered shed loads from Amazon and online and still they are too small to use to train my dog with

[@alexm-m4151]

'Treats' are just an unnecessary expensive rip-off and, because they're in addition to whatever you measure out as a regular meal, can make your dog put on weight. Use part of your dog's measured out daily ration of food and only give as a reward for successful response to 'cues' (which can also be known as 'commands').
