It is very important to train your dog but it is also very important to train your child/children. Great dogs can and will Snap if pushed too far. Please train Layla to be gentle and boundaries with Izzy.

[@shirlkline5130]

Agree

[@susan7038]

As a dog owner I will reinforce that you are doing the right thing. Too many people give up on a young dog rather than train them. I noticed that Layla was grabbing Izzie’s fur while playing with her. While Izzie is away this is a good opportunity for you to work with Layla and reinforce good dog skills like not pulling hair and being gentle. It could not only help her relationship with Izzie but keep her safe from being snapped at by another dog if she approaches it the same way. It is possible! I believe with training for Izzie and teaching Layla they will once again be best friends! Good for you for taking these steps for a happy household with a furry family member!

Good for you, putting the safety of your child first, and seeing to the training of your dog. Many years ago, I took my 2 year old Godson to visit friends who had a dog. Not our first visit, I was unconcerned. A sound from outside startled the dog, who knows what triggered thus, but the dog then bit my Godson. Whole face in the dog’s mouth. Hours in the ER, plastic surgeon, still scars. Only took a moment, generally calm dog. Izzy seemed enthusiastic when meeting the trainer again. Not everyone has the skill or other means to effectively train a dog. Kudos to you for making the commitment, despite it being so heartbreaking.

@@rachealh5860 you keep popping up in every comment I read with that same sentence. I use an electronic shock collar for my male rottie when he goes out potty at night bc he tends to bark a lot and is hard to get back in. I trained him only using the beeping and the vibrate. I have never shocked him once but I have trained him successfully with the collar. I'm not saying that all people do that, I would never shock my dog unless I was faced with a dangerous situation that involved him and he was wearing it. I agree, I don't think shocking a dog is good but I use the collar without the shocking technique and it works great. Maybe they do too? I guess it's no different then an invisible fence for dogs. Those are quite common. We have a chain link fence. I also use a small prong collar on my female and male rotties while walking them. They are not the huge bulky scarey looking prong collars but the smallest size that gives enough quick correction when needed. These dogs weigh more than I do and are pure muscle. If they don't pull it doesn't effect them and if they need a quick correction I am able to do so. They don't wear the prong collar in the house or in the back yard, they only wear a prong when out in public or on walks just so I always have control.

Izzy snapping at Layla is communication. Izzy is saying, “Stop that!” “I don’t like that!” So while I applaud you for realizing that this was out of your realm of knowledge, you’ll also need to establish boundaries from Layla’s side too. Izzy going to a board and train program is only going to teach her boundaries with that trainer at that facility.

Just because they choose a different route to train then you are used to doesn’t mean they don’t love their dog.

[@lauraorrick3038]

Aww precious Layla& Izzy💜

[@lowryfamily06fe]

I love you all and don’t mean this to be rude but I have seen too many pets given away because the owner wasn’t trained properly. I understand training is important for Izzy, but the problem with this kind of training is you two aren’t getting training. Dogs communicate nonverbally. You have to learn to understand your dog as well as them understanding you. They need to learn not to play rough, but they can’t tell you “that hurts!” In this video you allowed Layla to grab Izzy’s fur, pull her to her, and squeeze her neck. As cute as it is that Layla loves Izzy, that can hurt your dog. Training Izzy will not stop her from telling Layla to stop hurting her the only way she knows how. You have to monitor their interactions and teach Layla how to properly handle Izzy. You have to know if Izzy comes inside and is growling when someone comes near her paw that (can) mean she hurt her paw and is in pain. If you don’t understand how they communicate you may get rid of Izzy because she growled/snaped at your kids when she was actually communicating she is in pain and your kids wouldn’t leave her alone. This is one of many examples of how they communicate differently. You can train them to behave better but you will not train them to stop trying to communicate. You need to take time to learn your side of things too.

[@mege9824]

Yes 100%!!! I have a feeling they may think Layla is too young and of course just a baby, but they can correct her at this age. Layla will learn not to squeeze her neck and grab her fur.

[@WiseOne.]

I 100% agree. We have a toy poodle (he’s five) and I have a 7 year old and she tries to be in My dogs face all the time, and always be holding him and most of the time he’s fine, but sometimes he isn’t about it and he does a low growl or on a very rare occasion he’ll snap at her. Obviously I don’t encourage snapping but you do have to understand it’s there’s way of talking.

All puppies do that. Also when i was growing up all my dogs saw me as equal part of the pack. I guess they see the parents in charge and the kid on same level height and equal. All my dogs grew out of it. Also the yellow lab I had was the worst puppy but best dog ever. No matter how much training you just can't keep. Puppy from chewing all the time and nibbling. It's more of a playful nip then a bite. Still scary and in appropriate. But as long as when you saw it you corrected her. She would 90 percent grow out of it. But she will be more behaved. Just make sure Layla also gets better with understanding what Izzy likes she is old enough to understand how dogs communicate. Yal are doing great. I thought most obedience schools did allow dogs one visit home? Hope she does get one. That's a long time. I would be worried she would come back trained but have separation anxiety for life.

Unless the owners get training also it's not going to work. I'm glad you guys got her some training. I know Layla is a baby, but, she's old enough now to know not to pull the dogs hair. Good luck you guys

[@marilynfdavis891]

You are definitely doing the right thing for Izzy- our pets love to please their owners. Now if the trainer can get all of you - Carlin, Evan & Layla - trained, Izzy will be a happier puppy! 😜.

Animal rescues with full with dogs. Glad to see yall doing the right thing. My dog is a rescue and he had to be train now he the best dog in the world

There are so many different solutions to each situation. Our choices depend on our circumstances, lifestyle, work schedules, location, experiences, etc.. Don’t let someone else’s experiences, lifestyle, etc, undermine the decision you made for you/your family. Your choice is the right choice for you; others may choose other things that are right for them.

Grease can go in an empty can (from canned corn, dog food can, etc.) Keep it in the freezer covered with aluminum foil. Keep adding grease until its full, then throw the whole thing away. Grease in the yard will attract flies..maggots.

[@jeanpotter2163]

Hope the training will stop Izzy from snapping at Layla. Dogs need to be calm and accepting around little ones. Little ones need to be taught to be gentle and I believe they have done this but little children make sudden motions and sometimes it a surprise for the dog that is when the dog needs to be calm!

[@laurahoughton1017]

Children also need to be taught from a young age, that a dog is not a play toy. you don't grab their fur, poke them in the eye.I have seen too many poor dogs turn and snap, because of a young child, then are not wanted.

[@barbarafaulkner8855]

You can take a paper towel and go around in pan and get the grease out. Use a spatula or whatever you used in cooking hamburger and just rub it all around pan.

[@debbiesymons3807]

Since I can’t put the grease outside where we live, here is another idea for you all (if you are looking for other ideas😊). Line a bowl with foil and pour grease in that. Put in refrigerator and when it gets solid, just close up the foil and throw away. It does stay solid. I usually keep in the refrigerator until close to trash pick up day.😊. I’m a Grammy and I enjoy your videos. May the Lord continue to bless you both and your families!

[@cindywhittemore1434]

Dump the grease in an old pickle/ olive jar. Don't throw them out. Save for grease. You may end up with an unwanted critter in your yard with that grease on your grass.

[@rondamiller4206]

Generally you would have a dirty bowl in the dishwasher, pull it out strain then grease, let it cool and throw it in the trash. 1 week down 5 to go for Izzy ❤️

[@anneahlefeld1989]

They don't have a dishwasher.

[@daniellecoppock1774]

It looked like Layla was pulling her hair I’d try to be careful to not let Layla pull her hair it may hurt izzy maybe she may snap telling her not to do that!! I would try and help Layla to understand there’s things she can’t do as well!!

[@JamiHefley]

Carlin and Evan y’all should get Layla her own broom and mop set. They also have a vacuum for children too.

[@cindythompson4370]

so proud of you guys going about it the right way in taking care of your dog and family...i see such horrible things when people give up on their fur family and dump them. I live in a area of california where there are a ton of citrus and nut groves. Thats where they usually end up...Kudos to you guys...

I use a turkey baster to get the grease out of the pan when making ground beef. I collect the grease, squirt it into a cup and let it harden. Once it’s hardened I put it into a ziploc bag and throw it in the garbage 😊 Also, I wish we had sent our golden doodle for training. She is 4 years old and we still can’t have people over because she barks and jumps on them. Love your videos!
