I'm learning how to help train shelter puppies waiting for adoption and this is so perfect! Thanks for training me on how to train them!

[@MR-tn5kv]

I’ve looked at so many trainers, but this is the best channel I’ve found - extremely clear, well explained and illustrated. THANKS KIKOPUP!

[@yeoinbird]

THANK YOU for this absolutely INVALUABLE information!!!!! this video is incredible, and i can't wait to learn more!!! thanks again!!!!

[@tedjack9184]

Thank you for guiding us through that first week when your life has changed completely.

Excellent timing. We pick up our new puppy in 15 days. We have been learning tons from you. Thank you for all the hard work.

[@cindyd310]

The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect- picking up a new puppy in 2 weeks!

[@kikopup]

Oh yay! Congrats!

[@fredlaroche6969]

Have had my mini Schnauzer pup for almost 2 weeks now. Needless to say, your video backlog has been a great help. I checked out your online courses offerings too and there are some I've set my eyes on for when the time comes.

[@kikopup]

Oh congrats on your new puppy!

[@SusanneBark]

Another brilliant video. Thank you for helping so many people and dogs in the world.

[@kikopup]

Thanks for the comment! :)

[@user-ke3jg5qp2b]

Hi Emily, I can’t tell you how helpful your videos have been for me! Because of your work I will be picking up a new puppy next week. Was really on the fence about getting a new dog after losing our old guy. My question is: do you recommend puppy classes for young puppies? (Trainer is of course positive reinforcement only but am wondering about the efficacy of training in small group.)

[@joannaycwang2706]

Great informaron and tutorial list for new puppy owners. Also baby Halo is too cute 🥰

[@hazelpeck5924]

thank you so much! getting my dachshund on the 15th. so glad to found your channel at the right time!

[@LeslieMartinezA]

I love how you have different backgrounds in every video

[@mariehill2762]

We just added a homeless rough collie. I had one growing up. He's perfect but timid, not in an unpredictable way but thought someone had tips.

[@PetEnrichment]

L O V E your new pup's name! Very cool! And such a cutie!! ❤️

[@ameliej6690]

my breeder’s waiting list goes into next summer at the earliest but you KNOW i’m still studying this lolll

[@kikopup]

Awe sorry for the long wait!

[@ameliej6690]

@@kikopup yeah, but it’ll be worth it to have a well-bred, healthy puppy!!

[@ameliej6690]

@Soraia ljubtschenko Motta miniature schnauzer! i’ve loved the different personalities of every schnau i’ve ever met and they’re one of the cutest breeds in my eyes. they’re also the exact size i wanted, small but sturdy! it’ll be my first dog under 60lbs as well as my first schnauzer, so its gonna be a change but i think i can handle it!

[@ameliej6690]

@Soraia ljubtschenko Motta in my experience, mini schnauzers are intelligent little things that adore and are extremely loyal to their families. they also act as a bit of a watchdog, which makes me feel better as i am a woman who lives alone (even though i know that a 15lb dog isn’t exactly going to fend off any intruders lol! it’s more of a psychological thing). definitely an awesome little breed, if you can tolerate a bit of barking!

[@cindyd310]

@Soraia ljubtschenko Motta Me too!!

[@SkyTruckey]

Perfect timing! I'm getting a puppy next week!

[@kikopup]

Oh great! Congrats on your new family member!

[@amoore233]

Once again, superb!

[@tamstastylife8149]

you are just too good of a trainer

[@kikopup]

Thanks!

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

You always have good advice. Thank you for that. I also want to commend you for slowing down your delivery. In some of your older videos, you really talked fast! 😵 I listen slow. 😁

[@kikopup]

Thanks! And I also slowed down my movement with the dogs, if you look back at my earliest videos Im a little frantic.

[@kerrigrasley9718]

We have a very mouthy beagle puppy. He bites at hair, clothing, leash, and basically wherever he can. When following the training to avoid these things, what do you do if he doesn't do the desired behavior. Say I'm training him to avoid biting the leash when putting it on. What should the response be when he does go for it?

[@kikopup]

Good question. I would just move the leash away and work with the leash at a distance at first. You can also when you put the leash on for a real walk, feed a treat AS you put on the leash to prevent it happening. Clipping the leash to a back clipping harness is much better because the leash wont dangle so much in front of the dogs face. I had a beagle for 17 years by the way. I love them soo much! I'm not sure if I could get another one to replace how amazing my childhood beagle was :)

[@jeffidels8457]

Beautifully done. Thank you.

[@RodSturgill-qz1jl]

Just what I need.

[@himanshujain5674]

Will all these same things apply to adult dogs as well if you were to adopt one? Assuming that they dont have any training and starting fresh ?

[@niklas5336]

What's your opinion on impulse control games? For example holding a treat at a distance and closing your hand every time they make a move towards it / rewarding them for staying still.

[@kikopup]

In the video I linked in the bio on what to train first, It talks about how impulse control games are good for some puppies, but if you had a shy puppy that doesnt like being touched it wouldnt be the best game, teaching them to be more confident would be better. Also the training of closing your hand as they go for it is based on punishing the undesirable behavior first, so you could opt for impulse control games based on reinforcing the behavior you want before the undesirable behavior happens. for example thats why I teach the luring from a distance as shown in this video, so the puppy doesnt even have a chance to lick and bite at the hand and then morph it into luring from closer, if that makes sense.

[@arun7328]

Another great video and very informative for a new owner. I have a question regarding crate training. We are getting a puppy in a month. You mention in this video that in a weeks training the puppy might be just comfortable going in the crate and coming out. So, till he is crate trained do we let the puppy sleep on his bed in our bedroom? He will also need to go to the bathroom, say every 1.5 hours or so. Leaving him in the crate would be stressful for him if he is not trained yet! How do we manage this?

[@gerbilgal20002000]

I also have this question!

[@mirandadefferrard6330]

Thank you for these tips. I've been watching a lot of your videos because they are so helpful. My puppy definitely needs to work on a few of these first. She won't even play with her toys though, so i'm struggling with trying to distract her from biting (biggest issue) since she's not really liking any of the toys I got her. Do you have a video link to help with something like this?

[@lindas.martin2806]

You so ROCK!

[@lindas.martin2806]

If I have three puppies, should I separate them and do all ten with each, alone?

[@kikopup]

I suggest the first exercise you work on is teaching them to take turns taking treats and take turns for training, as well as being in another room in a pen alone- this will help you be able to train one at a time when you need. This video at the beginning covers that kzbin.info/www/bejne/inLMe3iYgKuKbMUsi=b-8Z8tvnZMkboa3x

[@Leonaberry.]

My 11 week corgi puppy doesn’t respond to attention noises sometimes especially if he’s distracted :(

[@kikopup]

It just means you need to condition it more and try experimenting with some new treats that are high value to the puppy. You can also practice the noise a couple times before dinner when the puppy is more hungry. Sometimes talking in a high pitched voice after making the noise can entice the pup.

[@Leonaberry.]

@@kikopup thank you so much!! I will try that. Honestly I watched your videos for a year (on a waitlist) before getting my corgi puppy Waffle and I still watch them every day for specific things I need to work on. It’s been so helpful as my puppy was crate trained in only two days. I’m so grateful for your advice. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lykeos69500]

Hi! I just welcomed a new puppy (a Swedish vallhund) and we are working in priority on the crate and separation since he's a real mama's boy. But since the breed is know to be very chatty and he's already barking when frustrated, I would like to start working on the barking now. Do you have advices/videos? Thank you for your amazing content!

[@kikopup]

Work on the settle for food so that barking doesn't happen from not getting the treat fast enough, and when barking happens interrupt it using a kissy noise and redirect to something else, if the puppies not listening just pick the puppy up and calm the puppy with gentle slow petting. For things that excite the puppy, mark and feed for looking at whatever it is without doing anything.
