We’re building another HOUSE (why, how & when moving in)

[@Its_Me_Mae]

Honey is so cute! I would reccommend doing "swimming lessons" with her. teaching her how to get in and out of the pool safely incase she falls in! dogs are very smart and she'll learn fast I'm sure! I would first talk to you vet and do your research on her breed on when developmentally speaking it's safe for her to swim.

[@hannasue4227]

@@Ava_hamsterloverforlifeit’s actually recommended to take them in the pool and show them the way to the stairs to get out

[@Its_Me_Mae]

@@Ava_hamsterloverforlife like I said teaching her out to get IN and OUT of the pool safely. Too many dogs have drowned because they ran out of energy trying to get out of a pool.

[@Its_Me_Mae]

@@hannasue4227 exactly

[@JenoHauz]

​@@Ava_hamsterloverforlifeyes, you are right, they do know how to swim instinctively but they need to be introduced to deep bodies of water gradually and safely so they don't get traumatised. Puppies tend to panic when they accidentally fall into a pool and if they are not familiar on which way to climb out safely, they'll associate the pool ( or any big bodies of water for that matter) to fear.

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

This is what I was gonna say. The pool is giving me anxiety!!

[@daniellecoppock1774]

Big thing to remember about doodles we have one that’s 10 years old, every 6 weeks she needs the hair pulled and cleaned out of her ears or she will be prone to ear infections but as long as you keep it pulled out she will be good!!!!

[@LucyLive91]

Yes! My aunt has a cockapoo and he needs a regular hair cut

[@andreatrillo4026]

Mrs Jessica you name your puppy honey

[@hannnnnlu]

As a double dog mama I recommend having them sit and wait until you give the okay que to go ahead and eat! 🥰

[@emmajohnson7034]

Yes that would be so helpful so that she learns voices and phrases and that if someone drops food she knows not to eat anything until her cue word is said

[@stacybaker7544]

I believe she did release her. I’m pretty sure “yes” is the release word. They just need to build up wait time as she gets older.

[@service_pupper_mayla2485]

If you want it to last longer you can freeze the lickmat, but it isn't necessary! But I love how much you have been reading about dogs and are doing it al positively❤

[@justamom863]

Remembering all those years ago, your mom remodeling her house to accommodate your growing family and now you are building to accommodate your mom. Full circle moments for sure

[@wendyg4389]

That seemed a lot on the lick mat for Honey, not different foods the quantity. She is gorgeous and you will soon never remember life without her! xx

[@jadewood5830]

The best thing you could do for Honey is get her used to being brushed, whilst shes got a licky mat is a good time so she has a positive association with grooming. Also remember a brush lies a comb will tell the truth on whether shes got any mats anywhere. This is especially important after a bath where they rub on towels and cause mats. Thats also a good time to feel and play with her feet so that shes fine with having her nails trimmed. Also find a good groomer shes going to be needing one on a regular schedule of every 6 to 8 weeks. Your doing great with Honey

[@ashleyy.bubbless]

your doing so good new dog mama!!! the only thing i recommend is say "yes" after you put the lick plate/food down to release her from her previous command ❤ low this whole new journey for you

[@nickiebledsoe6302]

Girl your doing an amazing job with honey! I knew you'd be an amazing dog mom because your an amazing mom period! All of you are doing an amazing job with honey and makes my heart happy to know she is so loved by so many of you! She's definitely living her best life and just makes me so happy guys! 🙂❤️

[@tatluv09]

You guys are amazing. I can't wait to see the new house transformation. Mimi and Papi will love it so much. Also, Honey is sooo adorable.

[@boddahveryape]

Cotton ball in each ear before bath. Get a squeeze bottle and put some shampoo in it with the rest water. Shake it and bath her with that. You use less shampoo that way. Also don’t wet her first, use the shampoo mixture and then rinse. Yes her get her face too! Get an ear cleaner and clean the ears after. Tons of videos for you to learn or when she goes to the vet have them teach you!

[@ashleylopez2908]

Honey is so cute. You’re doing great, just keep a look out for ear infections. Doodles get them very easily so it advise to put anti septic ear flush or epi-otic anytime she gets her face or ears wet. If you notice the inside of her ears are red, she scratching at them a lot and/or you smell something not quite right coming from her ears then she probably has an ear inflection, they get pretty easily due to the big floppy ears and the amount of hair that grows in there ears. Again your doing great and honey seems well love.

[@xcraiziex]

She is honestly one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. I can’t get over her cuteness! ❤

[@lithiummoon2992]

Alot dont think about this, but do some muzzle training with Honey. Touch base on and off with it. In case something ever happens (gets hurt etc) and needs to be muzzled she wont be afraid. Takes some stress down if ever needed in emergency situations.

[@pamjarvis2318]

This is so adorable cute with Honey! She is half Golden Retriever who loves water and fetch/retrieve naturally. You can hide bird training toys to teach her in search and retrieve back to yourself without taking her as bird hunt dog within itself. It is fun physical and mental activity for Honey who is naturally well smart within her own intelligent genes as poodle and golden retriever mixed breed. Giving Honey activities physically and mentally simulation will helped with pesky destruction issue activities such as digging and tearing things up when left alone at times. This will be interesting and entertaining of building brand new house. ❤

[@hpeargirly]

If you don't have them already, keep a couple small cans of pure pumpkin on hand. It helps for both diarrhea AND constipation. It's also a great treat on the lick mats or in a frozen Kong.

[@SarahWalter17]

so cute. When we bathe our dog we put a towel down in the tub so she doesn't slip around or scratch the tub

[@LizaFergison]

It is fantastic that you are adding so much value to your property. I'd love to hear the %value when you've completed this house.

[@hhef83]

I would also invest in a gps collar and set a boundary for Honey. Worth it!!

[@shimtd]

Get something called a Greyhound comb for her. It'll help detangle her especially after baths. Get her used ro brushing now while she's young :)

[@tamtamm22]

Freeze the lick mat and stick in the tub when you bathe her. Do not get water in her ears. Don't let tub fill with water, just use showerhead.

[@ItsChloe900]

Hey love you guys so much I wanted to give u some tips on a new dog so for baths u have to dry them with either a hair dryer or vacuum if not they will get hotspots on their belly hope that helps ❤️❤️❤️🐶🐾

[@sarahjean2549]

So exciting..can't wait to see it done!

[@sandyc6569]

Yeah that fence blends right in and even up close it doesn't look bad! Good job!! Some fruits can be toxic for dog so just be careful!! I am excited to see all the work begin on the new house for sure!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tschandraheinze1680]

You can get this cute thing for the pups ears when giving a bath. There are ways to clean ears after. You are doing great.

[@BaileyLovesMangos]

LOVE it! In the future when you use a lick mat or even feed her, You can use a Snood for her. I use it on my cocker spaniels so their ears do not go in their food. Basically a Snood is like a head band and holds the ears back so they don't dangle in their food.

[@madikam]

Wow, that’s a great idea! We have a cavalier spaniel and his big old ears are always a mess from eating and drinking!

[@StudyshacknoteswithGod]

Quick tips!!! 1: pick out a few towels that are just hers that way paws don’t ruin nice towels! 2: when she gets bigger invest in electric fence yes she might get shocked but it only takes about 2 shocks before she knows where not to go 3:always play with her feet ,tail and stomach that way she will always be comfortable being touched and playing!

[@Megan_2-0-2-3..]

I definitely recommend trying strawberries and Greek yoghurt and freezing it, my oldest dog which is 10 years old has been having them since he was a puppy and my two youngest puppies who are 1 next week love them. Also in the bath keep her ears dry to help prevent ear infections xx

[@Sierra-i3l]

Get her a long-line!! You can tie it to your fence and when your kids are playing outside your yard you won’t have to hold her!❤

[@lorianderson7895]

You can make puppy ice cream. It’s 32 ozs of plain yogurt, 3 bananas, and one cup of peanut butter that is sugar and xylitol free. Yummy and cheap treat for puppy ice cream

[@gmmyweekendadventures470]

I’m not sure if you can get this where you are but in New Zealand you can get a little wire fence installed around your property and when your dog crosses this they have a collar that gives them a little zap it stops them running away

[@andreabuchanan3020]

It’s the most cutest thing watching you turn into a dog lover 🥰 she fits in so perfectly with you all

[@Destiney12]

Ok something we do for our dogs is after we wash them blow dry them on low so thier not wet or damp around the house

[@emilyaustin996]

Honey is so adorable!! 🐕 Have you thought about holding her ears up with a hair tie while she eats, messy puppy eats❤️❤️

[@MargDegraaf]

We purchased 25 acres & it had a home & small factory so we renovated the house for my hubby & one son with a wife & 2 kids & the youngest son built homes on the land so they are financially better off. No mortgage for them & extended the factory for our security business,, I have 2 of my grandkids close & 2 of our sons close & safe with us out in the country but close enough to shops etc.

[@staciepauley1004]

Honey is adorable! It may be easier to get her groomed upon occasion. My friend has a golden doodle (90#) and he has to get a hair cut twice a year cause his hair continuously grows. Also, if/ whem you decide to spay her, I recommend looking into a gastropexy as well. Larger dog breeds are more susceptible to bloating (GDV). When you do a gastropexy, they tact her stomach to the side wall of the abdomen to prevent it from flipping. Just a thought from a vet med peep ❤

[@mrssharp]

Chewy has tons of Disney pet stuff including lick mats. I have some for my cats.

[@clairemcclements5828]

Good luck with your new build fam

[@Rosewolf29]

Even with chicken wire, she may find a way up. I found putting a harness on her with a spoon, like a wooden cooking spoon that’s longer than her width under the harness so she can’t wiggle through. That may help teach her to not go through the fence gaps.

[@emmajohnson7034]

That is a great idea I saw that on TikTok before and it was with weiner dog and it seems to work better than anything else I have seen before

[@Rosewolf29]

Put the chicken wire on the inside of the fence so in case she pushes it it pushes against the fence vs the weight of it being on just the zip ties

[@christinacarson338]

I recommend since you live the country I would only give her a bath maybe once a month cuz giving them baths more than that can make their skin super dry and make them scratch alot

[@TheBostonGirl]

Thanks for listening to my recommendation on the harness

[@KrystleAnn83]

We have a pure bred chocolate lab whose almost 4 and he still does zoomies! He is a 150 pound pup that zoomies around us and he tucks his butt and does a thing I call the helicopter . He literally tucks his butt and spin in place. It's so cute and scary at the same time.

[@fionawood2473]

Be very careful with sticks they can be very dangerous for the dog.

[@katiebeistline3450]

Use the mats when you give her a bath! It will help!!

[@DRMTTJ]

Put a little peanut butter on the inside of the tub and your pup will lap it up while being still. My son does this with their two dogs and they LOVE bathtime.

[@amandajoyce5178]

I would recommend looking into an invisible fencing system for her especially when she gets older than she can safely be roaming in the full yard/property without worry of her getting out to the streets.

[@amandajoyce5178]

Kongs are also a really good idea for enrichment and calming treats!

[@charliegoddard8616]

Kaden washing Honey with his foot 😍

[@IssasBambii]

Just a friendly reminder from one dog owner to another, remember to count both the lick mat and treats on top of her daily food intake. It is easy to forget about that, especially in the beginning with all the extra treats. Pups have a greater metabolism so its probably no worris now but when shes grown its good to know ❤ It adds up pretty fast if you dont think about it. ❤ She is adorable ❤

[@XaTiDa]

When we give my mother's doggy Zoe a bath I change in a bathing suit and sit in the bathtub with her :) It is comforting to her and I just showered after... She doesn't really like being washed so I didn't mind! The after bath is hilarious as she runs around the house and she does baseball slides on the pile of blankets we put on the ground for her to fry herself off... if you try yourself she just runs away ... she is so dang cute when she does the "drying dance" , It is very entertaining! loll and yes THE AFTER BATH ZOOMIES are a real thing and real cut/funny as well! lolll I love the after bath zoomies!

[@CaitsChatterton]

Have you ever thought about a wireless fence? That’s what we use for our golden retriever

[@suzyashby8777]

You’re doing great. I caught my kid using my makeup cloths lol on our dogs face. It was pretty cute. Your pup is so cute. ❤❤❤❤

[@kaitlynpoirier3319]

One recommendation I would give is make sure you are looking at grooming for doodles. Doodles need to be groomed every 6 weeks and brushed all the way down threw there coats daily or they will mat at their under coat causing them pain and you won’t even be able to see the mat because it is the under coat but the dog will be in pain. So definitely recommend looking up grooming doodles and upkeep on doodles.

[@SharpLife4]

The food mats are more meant for if you leave for a while to prevent boredeom

[@wduet65]

You should have made the garage out of a game room. Like have a pool table, pin ball, or any other games for the kids.

[@kerripastor4039]

When the ADU is finished and you do a finished tour you should side by side this tour with that one 😝

[@london424]

Doggy tip! Freeze the lick mat !

[@LittleLovely394]

Anyone else notice her new editing style? I’m still on the fence of if I like it but I’m happy she’s trying out new stuff

[@marieglover2369]

You should freeze the lick mats aswell, take them longer to lick them xx

[@Charlottes.Fern.]

I have had a few dogs and a golden doodle they love most all food they can get especially watermelon for a fun frozen treat. Also they can have human peanut butter along as there is no xylitol in it and if it has just peanuts and salt that is even better. Here

[@Charlottes.Fern.]

They can have skippy, jif and Smucker and any other with limited ingredients

[@aunnahw3256]

honey is soooo cute!!!

[@SagesStories]

I have two dogs one of them a service dog. I would recommend not using a harness for walks. It is a big misconception that it helps leash train but it just enforces the dog to pull more. Like a sled dog, they use harnesses because it helps enforce pulling. Honey is so cute and I’m so happy for you guys!

[@tylerjohnson7897]

JESSSSSS! No berries for the most part especially fresh ones as the seeds are not good for dogs if not poisonous halt berries before checking with the vet on what’s safe and what quantities

[@glittersara123]

Maybe consider raw feed, both of mine love it and it doesn't aggravate any of their allergies. Does Honey need to be wearing her harness when not on a walk? Im just thinking of how theis can cause matting.

[@emmajohnson7034]

Yes but I think they are trying to get her use to it being on her for right now then I think they may move on to just using it for walks or whatever

[@SharpLife4]

I have a very thin one that works great for my dog. Like the straps are strong. No extra bulk. Wears it always in day.

[@maeganharding5849]

When dogs have a bath, after the bath they run around and roll into things into your house to get the cent on them x

[@callamartens5286]

Since she is a puppy, she needs to learn how to usebtobcertain things like loud noises her ears getting touched the water so make sure you like do that often like maybe turn on the vacuum or play a sound of fireworks so she’s not scared of them when she’s older and touch her ears a lot give her a bath stuff like that

[@K-E2019]

Get a shower wand for the shower and you can sit on a stool in there and bathe your pup with much less of an ordeal. Much easier to clean a shower than it is a bathtub.

[@wishful1thinker]

Her bathtub had one but I think it wouldve been better had she not started to fill up the tub. It just caused her to come out soapy after her bath lol

Just a recommendation, I would go ahead and get her used to bathing without you in the tub with her! When she gets bigger it’s going to be tough to be in the tub with her and if she has grown up used to that she might give you a harder time and end up not liking baths😊

Blueberries as treats are fine for dogs. They have too much sugar to be a large part of a meal.

[@jenlfpotter3870]

I wish my mum and her other half would even remotely consider this for me. Not so much where they're living right now, but if they moved away down to the south west coast in a few years or so, I live in hope they'd get a house with what we call a granny flat or granny bungalow exstention or annex bedroom type apartment where I could live on the grounds if I rented from them. Living in private rental sucks here in the UK, because if you're on disability benefits as I am, that doesn't cover the full whack from the landlord who rents mine and I gather, several other properties over a wide area of Surrey. I am thankful that he accepts benefits as rental income, because up until quite recently, a lot of landlord's wouldn't accept benefits. Yes, I could go out to work up to 16 hours per week, but I would be stuck on minimum wage which would be around 15 to 16 US dollars per hour tops. What is the flipping point? O well, it sucks and its my life, but wow! All the best with the humungus building project. Reminds me of when my late Aunt's ex built the house they lived in until she died 10 years ago next month. That was my dream house, where I would want to go if only I won a stack on the lottery or something. He since moved to a property very close to the afore-mentioned property which he also built.

@@alisoncade3044 I guess that’s for bigger dogs then. I have small dogs and my vet gave us a list when she was a puppy of “human food” was and wasn’t acceptable. Blueberries were on the list as were grapes, raisins, avocado, onions, garlic, chives, cinnamon, etc.
