Yes, car safety, very important! My dog is used to it from puppy on. She gets in the car and only will lay down when she's buckled up with her harnas. Love seeing your adventures with Frankie! Greetings from Belgium :)
Another big one to go alongside the tick removers, please give your dogs flea&tick and heartworm prevention! This will save you lots of stress and money, especially if you spend lots of time outdoors.
6:33 yes yes yes yes yes! I see so many RUclipsrs ignore car safety for their dog for better content or something!I bought 2 dog seatbelts for like 20$ they are so cheap I don't understand why people ignore that!
I love how much you care about your dog! You guys are clearly best friends which is so great to see. I adopted a dog a couple of months ago and I can't wait until we're bestest friends. We're getting there! I live in Hamilton Ontario and man do we have lots of ticks here! In the spring and early summer it felt like i was finding one or two on her every day. I wanted to add another very useful piece of equipment that I got for my dog. Now that the sun is setting sooner and also rising later I got her an LED dog collar. This thing is amazing! I also got myself LED armbands. Just a great way to make ourselves more visible to cars.
Hi! Dogs can get Lyme Disease too! Its really common in my area usually the first signs are lameness and lethargy. So make sure you keep up with tick preventatives! (Glad to hear Frankie isn’t getting a lot of ticks!) There is a Lyme vaccination approved for dogs now so talk to your vet about it if you’re worried!
thanks to you i just bought the car seat lock! My dog usually just lays there or in my lap. But this will make me feel better about her traveling with me
Good video. As for ticks, check frequently. Experts say that it takes about 36 hours after the tick bites before it starts regurgitating that disease-carrying fluid into your (or your dog's) body. As for that watering bottle/cup, I got one for my boy and he refuses to drink out of it. When away from home, he only wants to drink out of the small, stainless steel bowl that we started him on. Oh well, it fits in the dog pack! Seat belt? Yes! Thanks for the video!
Another safety tip: Collars of any kind can do some serious damage to dogs' necks and spine. They can cause many conditions some being: collapsed trachea, eye problems, spinal and neck chronic pain, and restricted breathing. These conditions have been linked to pulling and leash corrections in scientific research. Many people think that the muscles on the dog's neck protect their inner sensitive organs: the muscles themselves are not invincible and can get damaged by repeated pressure and/or trauma (leash jerk/correction is traumatic for the neck), and the underside of the dog's neck is not protected by much muscle at all and remains the must vulnerable. Harnesses are much safer. They are harder to slip out of, and do not put pressure on the sensitive neck. If the dog pulls, the pressure is distributed over a much larger surface area, all of which is covered by bone, which protects the organs within. The tool shouldn't be what trains the dog to walk nicely on a leash, it's the training. Harnesses keep your dog's body safe when your training by evenly disturbing pressure from pulling on bone protected areas and not on the neck until they are finished their training. (Not to mention the mental damage punishment based training does to dogs).
Definitely buying that water bottle for my Aussie! We usually travel with a silicone bowl and aluminum water bottle, but he usually gets overexcited and tries to drink straight out of the bottle anyway lol.
Thanks for recommending RC Harness. I bought so many harnesses for my dog but RC is the best so far!! I also bought that bottle for my dog but for some reason she doesn't like drinking from it lol
Love your channel and look forward to ur videos. I have a non-video related question and maybe you can do a future video to answer it. I really enjoy going out to nature and woods. I tend to go on monthly camping trips, sometime for a week at a time. My concern is getting an aussie and wanted to know how they handle long car rides. I know that aussies are very active dogs and my concern is how do they handle car trips that can take a whole day (of course taking breaks every few hours). Would love to hear you take!
Try an undercoat rake instead of the furminator and a matt remover. That will help with the hair. These are all great tips. The car one is so important. My crazy dog jumped out the window at the dog park just as we drove into the parking lot and because he was wearing a harness and clipped into the car he ended up just hanging out and did not get hurt. In fact he was just hanging from to the car happy as can be while I had a heart attack. Now I know that the back windows cannot be fully open. Because he was clipped into the car and wearing the harness and clipped to the harness and not his collar he was totally fine. I lost a few years of my life. Looks like you are doing great with Frankie. I love his name and my two boys (dogs) love to watch the vids with me
Great you're using a clip to keep your dog safe! It sounds like the clip you use is set to a length that's way too long, if he's able to jump out of the window still. There's still a chance he might be thrown through the car in case of an accident. I have the clip set at a length my Aussie is able to move freely on the back seats and is barely able to have his head on my shoulder, though he's not able to jump out of the windows :)
Safety tip: Furminators cut out healthy fur. Which is why they normally keep pulling hair out. They damage the hair. Best alternatives are coat rakes, slicker brushes, and combs.
Any suggestions on a nail clipper? I'm afraid to use the clippers, I'm afraid I'm going to cut too much. I've tried the electric ones but my Aussie is terrified of it. He hears it and runs to his crate and you literally have to tip it to get him out. Thanks for the videos!
During tick season, my dog gets so many ticks that I don't even use the tick remover anymore, I use my hands without gloves lol. It's just so much easier and faster.
Your videos are really helpful! I'm getting a puppy in a few months (a sheltie if everything goes well!) and your chanel helped me a lot. Not to mention that Frankie is the prettiest! He's one of the rare blue merle dogs I found cute xD But I'll have to correct you on something! Dogs can totally get diseases from tics, similar to the humans's on. Just like cats, horses, and probably many other animals. It's because they can hold bad virus in their body and when they suck on the dog's skin, they can release the virus and pass it to the dog. I'm not sure of what I'm saying though so I might be wrong but I think I'm correct 😂
I didn't say they couldn't. I just said a tick is scarier for a human than a dog, but there are still chances for your dog to get a disease. ahha cant say all the right words
I don’t find any on my dog either and I’m like does his two layers of fur protect him from them getting to his skin? 😂 he takes tick meds monthly but when we lived in ca I found two dog ticks so they were easy to see but they were just on his top coat. But I get paranoid too that I don’t find ticks
We resently got a australian shepperd puppy an weve been using the ferminator for a bit and thanks to your video i now know that we shouldnt use it thank you for your video
no need to use it on a puppy ... wait a year ! Then the slicker brush is a friend alon gwithyour vacuum cleaner....and never trim a dog with two coats -- like aussie, husky
"When your dog comes in from the forest" - Me looking outside at the cacti and rocks in the California desert .... yeah, okay bro. I am much more worried about scorpions than ticks TBH.
@@FrankieToTheMoon oh cool thanks for the reply. At what age do you suggest using one for a mini Aussie. I'm getting a 8 week old on Monday 😊 so i trying to stock up and be as prepared as possible.
Hey, I really liked the dog harness, so I tried to purchase from Amazon. It turns out for some reason they won't ship to my area. Anyone else every have this problem??
I grew up with a family dog that I thought I was responsible for but I missed so many behind the scenes things that my parents handled cause i was young. So yes, Frankie is my first dog.
Have you tried sitting in the car with your Frankie (:D) buckled up, not driving but just chilling about? This will immediately give you info on whether they chew because of the stress of driving. Make sure to take the time and get your Frankie socialised with what they are and aren't allowed to do, without having the distraction of having to drive. We have seen huge improvements with our Frankie (Otis) doing so.
This video makes me a little uncomfortable based on some of the misinformation- i'm NGL. Although the slicker brush and pin brush you have are not bad tools they make the process harder to optimize. Dogs should not have matting. It is extremely painful for them and could result in hematomas. And even though these dogs shed, if they are not brushed a lot of the hair from the second coat where their skin is stays trapped and will cause impaction. It also makes it harder for the coat to regulate itself in the heat and in the cold along with a lot of other things. You should be brushing your dog every day. If not, every other day. For long haired dogs like Aussies I would recommend a long pin slicker brush , Paw Brothers is a great and affordable brand. Paired with a greyhound comb for line brushing. The furminator cuts the top hair and damages that layer of protection. Not to mention it hurts if used incorrectly. Even though you "have a life" you should still be brushing him. It is 10 minutes a day. Dogs can also get lymes disease and be heavily impacted by it. If you feel like you got the entire tick that's awesome! But if there is a little part that is left in the dog and you're unable to get it out, that is okay. It is a wives tale that you MUST get the head out or something bad will happen. The dog's body will push it out on it's own so do not feel like a monster. I'm not trying to be an asshole. Because I really love your videos. I have been in the industry for almost ten years and just spreading the knowledge. I am so happy you are always growing, learning, and loving with Frankie!
If you’ve ever groomed an Aussie, you for sure as heck know it isn’t 10 mins 😂 I am informing people about ticks for a reason, and also telling them it’s dangerous for them as a human. Thanks for your sharing the information.
@Frankie To The Moon I'm being 100% serious and genuine. 10 minutes a day with the proper tools -and you will be improving how he feels. It's like us when we do self care. If it is taking more time it's either because he isn't use to it, so he isn't comfortable or because you let the dead hair from the undercoat build up so it takes to long due to impaction. Which in turn makes the dog not want to be brushed because it is painful/uncomfortable. If you don't believe me I can deff make a video explaining the tools, how to use them properly, how to set him up for success, and show you with my aussie time wise. We have a poodle to and THAT nugget is the one that takes like 30 minutes to brush. 😅

Yup I know they can! That is when I am talking about it haha it is just more of a worry to humans
You inspired me to interact more with my dog
Love that water bottle idea! I hike with dogs daily and carry large water bottles and a flat bowl. Going to get yours for one dog trips!
Some dogs don't like to drink out of the bottle but Frankie loves it and I can't leave without it now! Hope it works!

Gain respect and eye contact first
I got everything from the list. Now I just have to get a car for the seatbelt.

How do you potty train Frankie

Have you ever considered adopting a dog?
I recently met someone with a mini aussie and they are way cuter in person
i have to agree with this
yes, I'm sure I don't have a dog, so that's my problem already there
He had to place the camera in the park driveway before stepping out…
Welcome to filming videos for peoples enjoyment haha
