I'm so glad you had 10 years with him. Losing a dog is the worst part of having one. Hope the holiday season is kind to you this year!

@@nddogsportsevents thank you so much for your kind words! May you have a blessed and wonderful holiday season!

@@michelewilson9937 you as well!!

Hey! I use super heavy!

I'm so sorry for your loss, but so glad you had so many wonderful memories with her! <3

Thank you!

ya know... that makes a lot of sense actually >.<

Gorilla Glue/Locktite whichever I get my hands on when I go to the store :D

You can, but you'd have to find someone at the trial to be the releaser as you'll be the catcher in that instance!

Thank you so much!! I no longer train dogs, I focus more on providing sports practices locally and working with my crazy two :D

Sorry for the delay! 2 leashes total unless you're running back and forth and want the extra, essentially catcher and releaser need a leash each

I would highly encourage you to find one that's fenced. Some are rather open and I can see that concern as my own dogs wouldn't do well in that type of environment. I also use a harness going to the line and a slip lead afterwards so I could make sure they didn't get loose. Getting off leash depends on each club, some will NQ a run, some will expel the dog. I would go to a couple to watch and see how you feel about it! It's a great entry sport and a lot of clubs are good at remembering there's a lot of first time dog sports peeps at these events so they are usually really nice!

@@nddogsportsevents Thank you so much for the response! We are going to go check out an event next weekend to see if we feel comfortable trying. Thanks again!

@@randy6589 Anytime!! I hope you have a blast!! :D

@@randy6589 How did the event go???

Sorry for the late response. I super glue the screws in as an extra safety precaution!

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 it’s really fun to get to know the people and dogs I’m making things for!!

All of our meetups are in Springfield MO

@@nddogsportsevents ok see

I tend to agree <3

Yea 😅

They think it’s the 5 day rule 😂

Thank you!

Thanks!! It suits his personality :D

Thanks for commenting! Sorry for the delayed response! When they were under a year we enjoyed the regular BarkBoxes. Dolly however has a tendency to try and ingest the stuffing and plastics that was in the toys so we went to SuperChewer to make them last longer. She still like to destroy them, but there's less stress for me as I know she's not accidently ingesting anything. Merle enjoys anything ball shaped in the boxes, he never really destroyed the toys, but did help unstuff them once they were opened up by Dolly. He liked playing tug with the stuffies more than ripping them apart. We are now fully on SuperChewer and won't be going back down to the normal boxes. Hope this helps!

I work with both of them individually until they know it then put them together to work it through!

I’ve found mine respond fastest when they get a reward they love after it. Sometimes a treat is what they like, sometimes it’s a toy, sometimes affection. Depends on the day!

Thank you! I hope it helps if you’re looking for dog trainings.

Thank you! The next set of videos shows how big they’ve gotten!

Thanks so much! 😊 Hope you guys get some value!

Thank you! It may be a bit before I get to anything that's not basic manners, but I hope you enjoy the videos in the meantime!

I'm so glad you found value in this one! Do you have any pets you're wanting to practice on or just watching for fun?

Shhhhh! You're not supposed to guess the next video so quickly! :D

Hey! They are first gen Goldendoodles. Their dad is a standard poodle all white and their mom is a apricot golden retriever!

Awww Thanks! I am thinking on focusing on people living compatibly with their dogs. I believe we are all teams and can learn how to enjoy each other and be less stressed. My end goal is to train Service Dogs for adults with ADHD and Autism as they are difficult to find trainers for.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Haha! They are doing awesome so far, glad I filmed in advance as we've had a week of little training with Merle. He got neutered and his sister is missing getting to play daily!

Hey! Thanks for reaching out! Barking is always a bit difficult as it's a self-rewarding behavior. If you're able to catch the pugs early in a barking session, I would redirect them. Main thing to remember, dogs can only have one thought at a time, so if they are engaged with barking, they can't hear a thing you're saying. What you'll want to do is find something that you'd rather them do and get them to turn their faces towards you. Once they are looking at you you have that one thought, you usually only have it for a few milliseconds before the squirrel is more interesting again. In this moment is when you redirect. Get their favorite toy and toss it away/inside from the distraction, then interact with them like that's the biggest thing they've ever done, praise affection, play, all of it. After a few times of that, you'll want to add a word to it, Leave-It is my go-to cause it's super universal, that command literally means knock it off and look at me. Once there's enough positive experiences (hence the play, you're making yourself more interesting than the squirrel) then they may start to bark then look at you, once you get to that point super hype the self-restraint and after a few months, they should be starting to chill out. Once they are getting to where they are looking and not barking you can reward that action as well, it can sometimes speed up the process. The longer the habit has been in place, the longer it will take to break it. A big thing to note is if you let it slip through even once, you are getting set back weeks, I know it's inconvenient, but you have to stay hype consistent when redirecting behaviors like that that we don't like, but is totally natural to the dogs.

@@nddogsportsevents excellent advice! 🙏.!!! We’ll give it a tenacious try! 😉

Feel free to join the Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/202490658742555/) and that would get faster answers and community input!

Thank you! Hope you have an awesome day!

I'm so glad you feel confident in training both. I super want to stress, you'll see in upcoming videos, I work with both individually as well. Mostly in public as I want them both to listen while inside the house and distracting each other, but with them being siblings, I don't want the negative sides of littermate syndrome to show up. I make sure they both get out of the house 1x1 time at least twice a week be it a Lowe's Michaels, Homegoods, places like that or just going downtown and they have to ignore people and focus on training! Teaching two is 100% possible and they are great distractions for the themselves :D
