Thanks for watching, Louise x

[@jayne4494]

He is so cute, and coming along well. You're doing a great job with him. Cheese is the best bribe, my dog will do anything for a piece of cheese!

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Ha! So we’re discovering, Jayne!

[@traceybird7753]

You’re doing great with Marshall . I remember when we brought our black lab puppy home . It was madness , tiring, completely altered the house like your lovely dog has and we thought OMG what have we done !! But we loved her so much! Twelve years later she’s our lives she is everything to us the most caring loyal kind and wonderful beautiful dog . Enjoy him like we have ours . Love to you both x

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Tracy. Lovely stories like this that many of you have shared with us have given us comfort for sure - so thank you for sharing. Always great to hear a success story. 🥰

Thanks Lisa x

[@andyb1577]

Hello you too I see Marshall is getting bigger and beautiful like his beautiful parents that are beautiful not getting bigger lol you 2 are doing a fabulous job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Cheers Andy - and we too are getting bigger!

[@victoriapatmore5031]

Keep up the good work, it is hard at times with a puppy…also sometimes very frustrating, but he will come good. One bit of advice is make sure you both are using the same words/instructions/commands/actions, this avoids confusion and faster learning for Mr Marshall. 💙

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Victoria - appreciate the reassurance and kind words. And we are trying to be consistent with our phrases and instructions x

[@fixingnfishing2044]

We love you Marshall!

[@MrDavidMrIan]

He’s very loveable!

[@gemmawhitehead3986]

My dog has dairy all the time , most mornings she finishes my kids porridge (made with milk) ...she wont take a flea tablet so i usually end up coating it in diarylea spreadable soft cheese 🙂....good luck with marshall , hes gorgeous - he has 2 lovely dads!

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks for sharing your milk experience, Gemma x

[@jazzydebs]

Awwww ❤ I love him! You’re doing great proud Daddies 🥰 Loving the Monday vlogs , makes a fab start to the week! Gorgeous! 🐶🥰 xxx 😘

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Bless you Debbilicious x We have family staying this week so probably no vlogs this weekend or next Monday .

[@uqbqeq]

So cute❤

[@MrDavidMrIan]

He’s not bad either! 😉

[@carriemorris7628]

Marshall is gorgeous.. I can see from another comment that you are not keen to let him on the lawn. However, he may be struggling with distinguishing the difference between the patio slab and the tiles in your kitchen. The texture is the same. Maybe consider letting on the lawn for his toileting it may help with toilet training.. Good luck xx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Oh that’s a very good point, Carrie! Hadn’t considered that. Thank you!

[@leehamilton8344]

Mr Marshall wants all of your attention. ❤❤He is going to be a big boy, judging by the size of his paws.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

His paws are massive! He’s almost 14kg at 14 weeks, Lee 😳

[@TD3Vlogs]

He really is gorgeous and not a bit of bother 😉😂 Loved this ❤️

[@MrDavidMrIan]

A total angel! 😳

[@suexx3905]

Oooooh the puppy days🤦🏻‍♀️. I have to say, as adorable as your little one is I do not envy you 😂. 2 1/2 yrs ago I was a first time puppy mum and for the first month I thought what the hell have I done! I even cried through sleep deprivation and not understanding why he CONSTANTLY bit, chewed and even hated going for a walk. Even getting him to eat was a massive struggle. That said , he’d eat ANYTHING he shouldn’t! I honestly thought I would never bond with him. NOW, George is the love of my life, he’s wonderful and could never imagine my life without him. Having a puppy is very hard and is a real learning curve. I’d know what to expect now (if I had another 😁) and how to train. Your both doing great from what I can see and his a lucky pup to have 2 such loving dads. Oh, and cheese tax is a thing! We have to pay it at least once a day 😂 xx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Awww, thank you Sue. It’s reassuring that so many people in the comments went through the same challenges and pain (literally, with those shark teeth). Can empathise with the sleep deprivation and tears too! Glad you and George have come out the other side xx

[@katherinedurrans5917]

All of our dogs have been dairy fiends… they were spaniels (all now over the rainbow). Our cocker could hear the lid come off a yoghurt pot from a thousand yards and the cheese tax was paid every time any human ate cheese. Thanks for sharing Mr Marshall with us. What a fabulous family you make ❤

[@victoriapatmore5031]

Love him 💙! So lovely to watch a catch up! 😊

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Glad you’re enjoying them, Victoria x

[@brownsfamily24]

So cute ❤ our GR has cheese with his tea every day, he’s raw fed. He has a slice of wholemeal toast with breakfast😊 he went through a phase of having a mug of warm milky tea in the morning. Never had a problem with poops since he’s been raw fed, he had terrible ones with kibble. Bitey phase will pass but it’s necessary. GR’s are mobile waste disposal units😂 they’ll snaffle up anything they can find. Very intelligent, very stubborn 😂😂😂 very loving❤

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Really appreciate all of the info and intel in this comment! Thank you so much. Good to know that your GR has had no lactose reaction. We were expecting to have to pay the cheese tax but have escaped so far - although the carrot tax has been hitting us hard!

[@brownsfamily24]

@@MrDavidMrIanour boy also loves a full roast dinner, a little too much 😂 the only carrot tax we get is orange poop the next day!!! He also loves steamed broccoli, sprouts, parsnips and cooked chicken (some grs can’t tolerate chicken, so be careful to begin with) If he does ever get the squirts, a miracle cure is original chappie, in whatever quantity he’s allowed at the time. Get a few cans in ( Jolleyes) anyway as a once a week/fortnight break from raw.

[@JKuci]

I keep hoping for more Mr. Marshall updates!

[@MrDavidMrIan]

You’re in luck! There’s one Monday evening, J!

[@victorialyon8905]

Puppies are SOOOO naughty……this is why they are made SOOOO cute! 😂😂It takes me back to training our two….though to be honest I think they ended up training us in the end! 🤔All your hard work, lack of sleep, lack of intact shoes, clothes and hands…….will all pay dividends in the long run!! xxx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

We hope so Victoria! 🤦🏼‍♂️😳😂

[@1983Jems]

So happy to see another episode of Mr Marshall 😍

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks for watching x

[@thefatladychannel6625]

Omg so sweet❤ You are great Dad’s - but also a little funny watching newbie pawrents gentle parent a kid that has turned their world upside down ❤️😬

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Softly softly catchy monkey ( we hope 🤞🏻) and thanks for the kind words x

[@SallyRidley-o6f]

Absolutely hilarious! Brings back so many memories of when our dog was a puppy. The first 2 years are the worse 😂😂

[@MrDavidMrIan]

😳

[@karensim3990]

My dog loves cheese, she even knows when I’m getting it out the fridge if she’s upstairs 😂 never had any issues, love Marshall, he’s so cute 🥰

[@MrDavidMrIan]

That’s good to know, Karen. Thanks for sharing x

[@juliajones2283]

Fascinating watching this, glad you have lots of patience I’m sure it will pay off in time. X

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Ha! Not sure we have ENOUGH patience, Julia, but we’re trying 😂

[@chrisstevehardy7058]

He is so cute love him xx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thank you ☺️ x

[@cha97michelle]

I give my dog cheese - the only time it led to an upset tummy was when my husband's uncle overheard me say he liked cheese, and he fed him so much it caused the problem. A small bit to hide a tablet in is not a problem for us. (Honestly, never heard that dogs are lactose intolerant before. I thought that was just cats? But I could be wrong.) I think your Marshall vlogs are fast becoming my favourite ones. So much joy to counteract any negativity in the world.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Awww, thanks for the kind words. And also sorry for your over zealous uncle in law!

[@JKuci]

My Jack Russell is 19 years old and gets walked 4 times daily which contributes to the health of his 76 year old human companion. So, the point is, you will be more active for the next 15 years, at least. Also, less fixated on food.😘

[@MrDavidMrIan]

We will always be fixated on food! 😂

[@JKuci]

Well, it has worked for me. Give it time and above all, have fun!😁

[@marjcameron312]

Enjoyed the Marshall vlog 😂

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Marj! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@helenrebecca263]

Awwww, he's getting so big and more beautiful by the day 😍 I couldn't believe how tired I was when we got a puppy. I always had cats before and honestly thought 'how different could it be?' Turns out it's very different😅. I was not prepared at all😅. Looking forward to seeing him on his walkies soon ❤❤

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Same for us Helen. We had quite a needy cat, but Marshall is way more demanding! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@AGray6]

Hello, I’ve only discovered your channel through Disney vlogs however we got a golden retriever two weeks ago and we are going through exactly all these stages at the moment, I’m really hoping as I watch more that the shark biting has stopped, we’re living your puppy time life right now 😂 🤯and I can so relate to this 🙈

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Awwww. Those days are l-o-n-g! We wish you all the best and have total sympathy for you at this time 😂 We found out about The Golden Academy on Facebook. By chance. Its breed specific training. They ran a week of ‘challenges’ last week - which was calmness training - with the option of joining their paid for website (which closes Tuesday for the current enrolment period). We’ve only been members for a few days but wished we had the chance to join months ago as it would probably have saved a lot of sleep and sanity. Maybe worth checking it out ? What’s your puppy called?

[@AGray6]

Haha I appreciate the sympathy 😂 that’s sounds interesting I will look into this, thanks, at the moment she’s called Daisy the devil dog, hopefully it will soon be Daisy the delight 🤞

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Give Daisy some belly rubs from us. x

[@blazegirl74]

I love your puppy videos! I hope to have my puppy in April, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Never heard of it until til now so had to search and buy what a gorgeous colour! We wish you all the patience and positivity in the world with them xx

[@Chercrowle]

Little bit of cheese now and then won’t do any harm, Arden grange liver paste in a tube is great for giving tablets.😊

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks you. Great tip. Will look into that !

[@vickyb785]

He sounds just like my labrador wait til he learns to dig the garden! Honestly though mine has cheese with her tablets or she spits them out! She only gets tummy trouble when she's ill & just feet chicken & boiled rice!

[@MrDavidMrIan]

We did give him poached chicken and boiled rice at Christmas, Vicky, when he had bad guts 🤮 And we are putting off introducing him to the garden til it’s dried out (and we’ve got ride of the deadly hellebores and the brambles in the lawn 🤦🏼‍♂️)

[@vickyb785]

@@MrDavidMrIan my lab Olive spits the rice out! Hope his tummy is feeling better? They are such great companions and make you laugh every day! Sounds like your doing a great job with Marshall :)

[@MrDavidMrIan]

@@vickyb785 ha! Marshall lived it - but made a proper mess with it. He was a day later, thanks for checking x

[@pennycarter6268]

My black Labrador had a little bit of milk with water on Rice Krispies for breakfast everyday, it never affected his poos Also I used to coat his worm tablets with dairylea, if I put it in ham or anything else, he used to spit the tablet out & eat the ham etc 😂🙄 Unfortunately we lost my beautiful boy in June, he was 13 😢 so had a good long life….still miss him everyday 💔🌈 Marshall is gorgeous 💙

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Sorry to hear that, Penny. We still miss Ollie, our cat, 8 years later, so we know your pain. 😢 🫂 And good to know about your experience with milk and your boy x

[@melaniefontaine5389]

Ahhhh ❤❤ Our Bernese just turned 2 and we can finally say we’ve been through the worst of it! The biting was especially hard because nothing worked. Stay strong, those baby shark teeth are the worst! Then there’s teenage years where it seems everything they’ve learned is now gone from their brain. 😂

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Ha! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement, Melanie. X

[@mariebaker7874]

I have a 2 year old kelpie (Australian working dog) I give her doggie yoghurt with her breakfast it is lactose free don’t know if it’s available in the U.K. Also for training used chicken loaf (tiny bits) as rewards. Good luck ❤️

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Marie - will look into doggie yogurt! Appreciate the heads up... and the ‘good luck’ (cos we need it! 😂)

[@VickieThomp5on]

Loving the Marshall diaries. Something we did with our Harley regarding the biting, recommended by a dog breeder, was to use a washed out squeeze lemon bottle and fill it with water. We had it in our pocket and if he bit us, we would give a little squirt and within a week, it stopped. Never done it again and he’s now coming up to 10 years old

[@VickieThomp5on]

*The bottles that look like a lemon

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Will be ordering some Jif this week!

[@EmperorRainbow]

⁠@@MrDavidMrIanI’d recommend Zac George’s videos on puppy biting here on KZbin. Spraying them with water is not a great solution because you want to be teaching them how to use their mouths gently. Biting is how puppies communicate and play and punishing them for doing it is not as effective time as teaching them how to communicate appropriately. Good luck! Puppies are hard work ❤

[@RichardBlenkinsop]

We have to pay the cheese tax everytime it comes out. Dogs love it. No effect at all. I've watched a friend's retriever throw up, sniff it, then wolf the sick back down. Don't over think it ! And the youngest will stick his head in a strawberry milkshake when ever he gets a chance.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Ha! Good to know, Richard 😂

[@paulinebain4223]

Loving Marshall, most dogs are fine with a small bit of dairy. My 2 love whipped cream or a pupcup from Starbucks. Please don’t give him rawhide that is extremely bad for dogs. The extreme bitting etc normal means they are over stimulated and needs a nap. Crate training is amazing and gives them somewhere safe to go and it will become a safe space.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Pauline. We’d heard about the issues with rawhide. And good to know about the pupcups. We feel like we didn’t do the crate training enough and now he’s too big for the current one, and the other one we have is so huge we’re not sure where it would go 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jayeroxburgh922]

So….my neighbour who has a Goldie (and I’ve done it with Wellington as well) when they won’t drink much will put a small amount of milk in a bowl with water to get them to drink something.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Oh really? Thats a new one to add to the list. Thanks Jaye

[@irishinusa1615]

Giving medication/pills...we wrap piece ham around pill. Also Try peanut butter👍

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Ooh - nice one! Thank you!

[@RamrodRedfish]

Re Cheese with treats: our dogs get small pieces of turkey as a treat (sliced turkey from the grocery- tiny bits) instead of a grain or cheese because of terrible skin allergies. Works okay. I’m excited for you guys he’s adorable ❤

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks ! Sorry to hear about the allergies - that must be a challenge.

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hiya 🤗 I think you’re both doing amazing with little (maybe not so little anymore 🫣) Marshall 😊 I hope he has started to listen more and bite less now? I guess I’ll see in future vlogs but you are both doing really well, I can see it is not easy and defo harder than you can imagine but you’ve got this for sure. I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend 😘 xxx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks Lee. Less bitey now. Mostly. 😬

[@TheGrumpyGee]

Hello you three

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Hello 👋🏻

[@michaelcarrillo8769]

The breeder I got my dog from suggested mixing cottage cheese in with his food to get his ears to stand up and it worked great. He’s always had little scoops of yogurt too and absolutely loves cheese. It’s just fine. Not massive amounts. But never had a bad tummy from it.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

That’s really good to know, Michael. Thank you for sharing that with us.

[@shirleyingleby4141]

That gate is a great thing 😮 our fur baby is 10 now but I can remember the puppy biting stage ,but honestly can't remember what age she was when she grew out of it ,the cuddles you will get will well outweigh those stages and yes my cockapoo still gives me the side eye 😊

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks for the intel, Shirley. It’s lovely hearing similar experiences! Reassuring. I suspect we have a way to go 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@JulieSmith-dk3ct]

Did you try Marshall on his around ur garden to, get him used to his lead

[@MrDavidMrIan]

We didn’t because our garden has brambles and random plants growing through the grass - not to mention so many fallen leaves. Add in the fact it’s been rain, rain, rain - so muddy - and if all felt like a bit of disaster waiting to happen. Or rather, a world of pain we wanted to avoid, Julie.

[@fixingnfishing2044]

We give our Shih Tzu bits of cheese 🧀 every now and again. She is absolutely fine with cheese. She’s doesn’t get yogurt but I would give her a tiny bit without worrying too much.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

thank you! It’s great to hear such positive experiences !

[@samanthawarren9885]

You have bought an eating machine….his stomach will cope with anything when he gets older, when we had our GR she was ruled by food and would do anything to get it, she ate all sorts throughout her life…donuts, foil paper wrapped round beef, wall ties (don’t ask), table leg, skirting board, pizza, you name it she ate it and the only time she had the runs 💩 was when she was genuinely ill 🙈

[@MrDavidMrIan]

😳 Thanks Sam (we think 😂)

[@vickyb785]

He sounds like my Labrador!

[@chrisstevehardy7058]

Hi guys tap him on the nose and say no he should stop xxxx

[@MrDavidMrIan]

He should... 😂

[@chiefd3]

So relieved to know the pee and poo pad diary isn't for Mr David or Mr Ian - yet. But give it around 35+ years from now and this diary documentation might come in handy! Also, my vet explained my cheese/milk concerns with my then-pug puppy saying most household cheeses are safe if given in small doses. He recommended cheddar as it's a common household cheese and contains a relatively low level of salt. He also said mozzarella, cottage cheese, and yogurt are good snacks for dogs while Swiss cheese is low in lactose, which is easier on a pet's digestive system. Hope this helps, but for some daily pet humor the KZbin channel, www.youtube.com/@rxckstxr will supply you, boys, with an additional giggle to Mr Marshall's learning and growing cycle.

[@MrDavidMrIan]

Thanks ever so much for the info. Really helpful! (Including the senior focused movement diary rip off 😂)
