[@suebooth1414]

Awe, I like her name....she certainly is a "Honey". Such a sweetie 💕

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you!

[@estherlongly6557]

I am enjoying watching honey’s development!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you! She is a very funny dog!

[@gmcamp5592]

I was so happy to see a new video today. Happy 4th of July

[@DoodlesofNC]

You too!

[@estherlongly6557]

My mini golden is going on two years and she is still such a puppy! This is fun to watch!!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Awww so awesome

[@kelseyjameson1533]

Honey has grown so much! Love her markings! I know it will be a little sad to have an empty nursery but it will be great to have the extra time with miss Honey! ❤️

[@DoodlesofNC]

Yeah! We can work on a lot

[@denisegraham5148]

I enjoy your honesty and showing how to train my own puppy Your so kind and do not allow stressful situations to affect you like I have noticed on another popular breeder.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I am so pleased to help!

[@tessjones5987]

We put our dogs in their crate for 10 minutes alone Before we start training. That they get the idea + know what is going to happen and are ready for the training. I have heard from others that this really works for them also.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh that is smart!

[@addiewoodcroft]

OMG! This is just cuteness overload!!!! Honey is adorable!!!!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you!

[@ClareDSummer24]

The puppies are adorable 🤍 Happy 4th of July 😊💛

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you!

[@Shenry4474]

Love watching your videos, honey is a cutie patootie! Hope you and your family have safe and fun holiday!!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you!

[@bailey.in.alignment]

I didn’t realize dogs can climb stairs at that point. I was always told that you should wait for 12 weeks for hip health reasons.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I don’t think they should do it repetitively, but I’ve never heard that they shouldn’t do it at all. Let me know if you find out more information.

[@HannahsLilyBell]

Happy 4th of July I love your puppy videos thank you ❤

[@DoodlesofNC]

Happy 4th!

[@barbk6544]

Awww, Honey is so cute and precious and seems like such a happy pup…loved watching her play! 🐶🐾 I hope you and your family had a wonderful and fun 4th of July! ❤🇺🇸

You are so kind

Honey is a great name. She is beautiful..congratulations

Thank you!!

Hello Erin and JP, thanks for the video. I don’t have a dog at the moment, but I have heard that “Apple Bitter” spray for dog tastes bad and you can spray that on all furniture where the little teeth might go…and it works as a good deterrent. Don’t have any particular brand in mind, but that is something I would try when I get a dog in the future …Have a great week!

[@DoodlesofNC]

That sounds like a good idea

[@carolwilson2502]

Be warned some dogs love the taste of it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ eg my old collie did and now my boxers too!! Honestly, only mine 🙄

[@doreenclark8880]

My golden retriever pup loves the bitter apple & cayenne pepper, they don't deter him at all.

[@donnawhitfield6820]

My cockapoo loves her crinkle pull squeaker toy too. She loves her beef kneecap that she chews on and she will play with the kneecap. Sandy loves her chew light up ball. When I go to the beach in a few weeks I will get her another light up ball from Calhaunds of Calabash, NC. I can’t believe my girl will be 2 years old next week July 13th.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh that sounds great!! Thank you

[@marybeth123]

A toy that my poodle Coal loves is. Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-Lot Dog Toy. I put his kibble in it with a few mini milk bones and he loves it. They hit it and their food comes out…my dog eats most of his food that way.

[@DoodlesofNC]

That is so cool

[@kathysoc3733]

Love your channel! Honey is so cute!! My 4 1/2 month old mini Goldendoodle is a finicky eater. She only eats when I am sitting next to her. I have tried adding some treats into her food to entice her but don't want to turn her into a more finicky eater.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh no! I always tell people don’t stress over them eating. They’ll eat when they are hungry! But I do understand it feels difficult!

[@carolwilson2502]

Have you tried the “benebone” range of chews? My didn’t like the antlers, yak, nylabone but the benebone chews have been a game changer for my motley crew-they love them plus they do last a long time and worth the price. Their favourite is the fish followed by the round ended bone type one. Have you also thought about a “snuffle” for her food/treats? Certainly keeps mine entertained x

[@DoodlesofNC]

I have not tried them! I’ll look into it now!

[@janethamil9337]

All of your puppies are beautiful.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you!

[@adrianashimaoka1559]

Love your videos so informative. Your indoor play pen area has a mat/ blanket on the floor do you have a link for that?

[@DoodlesofNC]

Yes! kit.co/doodlesofnc

[@frasersgirl4383]

Our little girl’s name is Honey! It made for some comical moments when I’d call my husband Honey and get a puppy or the other way around! Lol! ❤️💫🐶💫❤️

[@DoodlesofNC]

I love it! Honey is the best name ever!

Hi first time to see your videos so nice I loved what a nice lady I wish everybody would treat dogs like that instead though puppy mills which make me cry 😥so sad 🐕❤️♥️

[@DoodlesofNC]

Well thank you for watching!

[@whirlythree]

A fun inexpensive game: spread out little pieces of treats on a bath towel, then roll it up, then tie it into a knot. My pup loves opening it up to sniff out all of the treats.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh that is a great idea!

[@pilarmontesfrechina1032]

I love you Honey😘😘

[@DoodlesofNC]

She loves you too!

Hello, Where can I find the "Bella size dog bed" and what is the name and size? Thanks in advance!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Orvis!

[@lauracatz-biro4164]

Can you tell me where you by the yak cheese for your dogs? It is so expensive and I wonder if you buy it in bulk somewhere. Love to watch you all with puppies.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Bulk on Amazon!

[@KeithWilsonUK]

How long did you wait to crate train? Did you do it first night/week etc

[@DoodlesofNC]

we started at 8 weeks, when she first came to us!

[@marierakitsky171]

Your steps are a little steep for their shot legs. So cute how you encourage them.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I know! They are so short!

[@whirlythree]

I just discovered that tennis balls 🎾 are actually bad for a dog’s teeth. It could sand it down which makes sends as the balls are made for traction on the court.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh wow. Didn’t know that! Thank you!

[@aprilsunflower7440]

My dog enjoys some of the same toys your dogs do. Have you done a tour of your puppy nurseries and garage? Maybe also when do they get moved from the indoor nursery to the garage ect...If not that would be interesting.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I think we have. If not we can do it again!

[@Graphgaming]

hi, I just got a 9 week old puppy and dropped her from my lap and now she is just laying in her bed and whining at the fence when i come into the room what do i do please help

[@memalus]

Please take her to see a vet. She may be hurt.

[@xobelladonna2443]

She’s fine probably confused and just doesn’t wanna be alone

[@xobelladonna2443]

Puppies are not glass.

[@KayColeLynn]

@@xobelladonna2443they may not be glass, but she could have landed wrong on her foot. Our older dog (a year old at the time) unintentionally rolled the pup (9 weeks) and fractured her ankle. It was a complete fluke that it happened that way

[@xobelladonna2443]

@@KayColeLynn as the daughter of someone who was a vet for 52 years, you’ll know if the pup is hurt. If you need to question it- pup isn’t hurt. Check every part of pup and monitor for a few days. Unless they seem weak lethargic or in pain-going to the vet will only cause financial stress for no reason. 99% of the time the falls are harder on us than them!

[@ronallen6578]

I have a 2 year old Sheepadoodle named Harper. She's b/w and is a big hit with staff and kids at Home Depot or Lowe's when we go. Her big thing is still jumping up to meet/greet her fans. A work in progress. Harper is a fetch machine. Inside or out she will catch her cow or yellow banana until she drops. I think she'll probably stroke out before stopping. I simply have to stop to make her take a break. I have gotten her Kong tennis balls and she just splits those babies wide open. That's how much and how hard she chews them. She's my buddy and wouldn't take any amount of money for her, but feel free to make very generous offer😂😂😂

While she’s little and after she’s done with vaccines, take her in public stores and acclimate her to acceptable behaviors when meeting strangers. It’s been invaluable to us!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Love this idea

[@susanboucher8104]

Absolutely!!

[@nash7772]

My daughter had a golden doodle when she was 8 weeks old and now she is 7 month old and she’s the most enjoyable puppy on earth. She’s very easily to be trained and very obedient and trained not to bark and not to jump on people or go up on the couches. She trained her from day one. She waited till she had all her vaccines till she took her put and about. She’s very sociable, loves attention and loves to be cuddled. We all love her to death.❤

[@gemigem2411]

I really wish breeders would leave the stair training for the new parents to teach. I live in a 5000 sq foot home and I don’t want to be worried about a puppy going upstairs to pee or poop. I don’t mind my dogs going upstairs but until they get the potty training down first.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I appreciate your feed back. Thanks for watching!

[@watchmoivies123]

Wow, she’s got some coat. What will her coat be like when she’s an adult

[@DoodlesofNC]

Should be a wavy coat .

What happens then?

[@mariesaunders2740]

When we get a new puppy, we buy two from the same litter. None of your families get two. Why? My puppies have loved having company.

[@DoodlesofNC]

We have had probably five families do puppies from either the same litter or a variety of litters and everyone has done great. I think mostly it is the cost that prevents someone from doing it more often. I’m so glad it worked so well for you!
