When I got my puppy, my breeder informed us that we must socialise them when they are really young with different sounds, people, situations etc so they won’t get nervous when they grow up. She even printed us a check list of all the things I must expose my puppy to before a certain week. I wish this little pup’s breeder did the same and informed the lady.

[@kristenk.8225]

I feel like all breeders should do this that’s amazing your breeder put together a check list for you

[@Altt]

That's a good idea. The idiots we got our one dog from took her outside, decided and she didn't like it, and never brought her outside again! She was five months old when we got her! It's no mystery as to why I'm watching this video.

[@naomif9964]

She says she doesn't have time to teach her dog how to walk... you just got a puppy. Outside of work, you should expect to spend almost all of your time explaining the world to your pup for at least a few weeks/months. If you don't have time for that, you don't have time for a puppy. Maybe think about getting an older dog who's already mostly trained, or don't get a dog.

[@drcarriemills8772]

[@naomif9964]

@@saab2906 yeah that's definitely better. Sad how many people instantly give their dog away because "it's more work than they thought". Nobody's perfect and getting help when getting your first pup is a great idea. We don't need to know everything. But being surprised a puppy needs time and work is a little much.

[@Gracelleisokay]

I love how gentle and patient the owner is with the puppy. You can tell that she wants whats best for him and she is really willing to put in the effort to take better care of this dog and help it go on walks freely. My respect goes to her bro, and victoria for helping her

[@xavacynx]

@@albagubrath9073 While I agree it is good to research I disagree with your assumption that the dog would automatically be violent if not trained properly. I have not had a bad experience with bully's yet and I work with all kinds of dogs on a daily basis. I hate when people assume the worse in them. Usually bully breeds I have heard about that have been vicious were those abused or trained to be which is terrible in itself. I have seen many more Chow Chows and German Shepard's growl or go to bite while working with them. Every Pit and Bulldog I have met has been sweet.

[@kasualbeauty309]

Only she doesn’t have enough time to care for the puppy

[@Isrjisoneavalable]

My boy was frightened to walk at first, we think someone wasn’t kind to him because as soon as he saw the lead he’d freeze and shake. Lots of cuddles and treats with the lead, and gentle walks around the kitchen got him over it. Now he barks at me to hurry up with lead when it’s time for walkies!

[@beverleybalshaw9119]

Aww! Dogs don't forget! I Love how you helped him overcome his fears with positive re-training and patience🙂 👏. It's all about making it fun too. 😀 Wonderful now you have a happy bestie to go for nice walks with. Enjoy! 😍

[@LucaBunny.]

When I first saw her take the puppy outside I noticed he wanted to sniff the front yard. She didn’t know how to listen to what the puppy wanted. Victoria nailed it on giving the puppy what it needed ♥️

[@francescamamlin450]

I adopted a puppy from a rescue over the summer and he was exactly the same way with walks/going outside. Now he wants to go outside all the time 😂

[@CGiles]

I hope my dog will be like that. he's so nervous outside. only 15 weeks old.

[@Ryanrulesok]

I like how the mum says she is so busy and yet she gets a dog and she has no idea how to look after one

[@naomif9964]

exactly. It's fine to have trouble, that's why she got help from Victoria, which is great. But if you don't have time, don't get a puppy. They need all of your attention

[@russelljordan7688]

@@naomif9964 true but it doesn't have to be pulling teeth on every single lesson. People have a life, they have schedule's. That's why dominance training is key. It quickly teaches them rules and boundaries to follow and provides confidence and you communicate with your dog on non vital lessons and connect with it. Similar to how I trained my wolf

[@adel19997]

You can tell she's first time dog owner. Hardness is best then collar leash.

[@kaiflynn3270]

Genuinely doesn’t matter what tools you use, as long as the dog isn’t pulling so hard they’re damaging their throat. Harnesses make it more comfortable for dogs to pull, whereas a flat collar makes it uncomfortable and potentially harmful if they do pull hard. However with a tiny puppy you shouldn’t be experiencing pulling hard enough to hurt them.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Given the insane horrendous cruel behaviours of some previous people on this show, first time versus so called experienced owners makes little difference in some cases. This lady was doing brilliantly compared to many and called in Victoria extremely quickly. Win win all around 😊

[@amandah2866]

Aww, so cute! It's great to see someone really take on the advice. I need Victoria to help me. My dog refuses to go outside by herself. She'll tell me she needs to go but won't go outside to pee/poop unless myself or my dad go with her. It's a real issue for me when I'm having a bad migraine or fibro day. It would be nice if I could let her out on those days without having to follow her out.

[@isthatrubble]

if you leave the door open, does she just stand there and eventually pee on the floor?

[@coda3223]

I started with opening the door, releasing my pup, then stepping out a few steps and giving the potty cue (one that means 'pick a spot to potty')... next time I took a few steps out, the dog ran out, I gave the potty cue, then stepped back inside and waited at the door (with door open) until the pup had done his business. I kept taking baby steps ( door cracked, door closed, me taking a few steps away from the door, me out of sight, etc) until my pup can go out, potty, and return without getting into trouble. Mind you, we don't let our puppy have unsupervised time outside. There are just too many uncontrollable variables that could cause trouble and even at 9 months old, we have a lot of distraction training to do before we can trust that he won't go chasing after a skunk or neighbor's cat or something else he shouldn't get into the habit of chasing. It's gonna be different for every dog though... if they are comfortable with one step but uncomfortable with the next, then you gotta split it into even smaller chunks.

Learn the difference between attack and play please. Dog's use their mouth so that's all the puppy knows... you correct puppies how a mother dog would.. scruff back of neck firm no and don't give them attention... you should be providing structure with a crate, when you have visitors it's not puppy pal playtime they need to learn they aren't the center of attention and how to sit in a place quietly until invited for interaction.

Talk to your vet about possible health issues that could cause an upset stomach, and also to double-check that your expectations of how much she should be eating are reasonable. A lot of people seem to worry that dogs are too thin when they have a healthy build, so I'd ask your vet about that as well. Make sure your dog is getting enough time to sleep and relax as well as exercise, again ask your vet about dog specific recommendations.
