This guy is EXCELLENT ... by far the best expert on dog training I have seen on RUclips.
Agree!
So true !
@@nikolaiarnaudov3785 Cesar's approach to training dogs is archaic and backward - he relies on the need to dominate the dog. No modern trainer uses this approach anymore, verbal markers and positive reinforcement is the most effective approach. I agree, this dude is excellent, I can also highly recommend Stonnie Dennis.
Zak George is also really good
i see you’ve never heard of fraser
I was consistent and provided lots of structure when my boxer was a puppy and he is SUCH a good boy. I never let him have free roam of the house or the yard until he was completely potty trained. he either was kept in the room that I was in or on a leash and I took him on a leash everytime to the same spot to potty outside. he slept in his crate every night and never whimpered. I also knew I didn't want a dog that begged for my food every time I sat down at the dinner table so I never give him anything off my plate and therefore he does not get into the trash can. I fed him in his crate to associate it with positivity and that is still where he eats and sleeps today. I didnt allow him on the furniture and we had to work on him not learning to jump up on people. 5 years later he is perfectly well behaved and so easy to take anywhere. he is polite and of course now I give him more leniency and allow him on the couch and bed occasionally. Its so nice to have a dog that is so polite and precious, but I know that had I not trained him this way as a puppy he would have turned out completely different
Hi Hannah. Love that you said at the end there, "Its so nice to have a dog that is so polite and precious, but I know that had I not trained him this way as a puppy he would have turned out completely different." I could not have said it better myself! thanks for sharing! And great work, BTW!
I have a boxer heeler mixed and I wish i would’ve done what you did. He is so stressful at times lol
Xalways ChillinX I got the same dog how old is yours
I think it's awful not allowing dogs on the furniture. It's hard on their bodies. And studies show, people who sleep with dogs are healthier.
So key is really training them young
"It's your fault." YES THANK YOU OMG I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
Sourjolly
Claireeds0 oh yeah yeah
I felt so guilty when he said it was my fault, and I dont even have a dog!
Toki Toki 😂😂😂😂
lol, me too
Friends have you tried HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com I think this website has the best dog training program I ever found on the internet Recommended to all…
But he's right...lol

There needs to be a way to make this video mandatory to watch before being allowed to own a dog.
I am making a point to recommend these whenever my shelter adopts out.
Hi @Evangelina Byrd I definitely agree with you. I have lived with dogs for a very long time and they all have been the same breeds but different generation of lines behind the dogs. I have owned Irish Setters, Sussex Spaniels, Aussies and currently own a Harlequin Great Dane. Each breed has a mind of their own and we had to teach them how to behave properly. Such as teaching the Sussex how to wait for his food so he doesn't take it out of our hands (He is 2 so he still is young but has been getting much better) and we followed the same technique for the rest of our dogs. We have seen great improvement and they all can eat food near one another without trying to steal the others foods. I have been following the different tips and tricks @Simpawtico Dog Training has done and have greatly appreciated it!
Evangelina Byrd agreed
Hi Guys watch video on here .. DogTrainingSeries.blogspot.com ... How To Train Your Own Dog at home
All of you are right I just got a dog it is so cute🥰🥰
You are a life saver!
I made a big mistake.. I adopted a 1 year old untrained working-dog as a first-time dog-owner... naively thinking she had already learned the basics, and naively thinking I would manage since I do have experience training horses. Turns out I adopted a 25kg puppy with puberty behaviour and no basic skills.. and absolutely zero experience to rely on concerning dog training. So while I was wondering how to teach her sit, stay etc.. I completely missed the point where horses are kept in stables and round pens until they know how to behave and I did not give het ANY directions about houserules. The misbehaviour had already started when luckily I found your video's. We've started over and are doing much much better now ❤️
EXCELLENT! Glad to hear it! Good on you for noticing and starting a new program!
You should do a video about the first days/weeks with a new puppy!
Great tips!!
I also really appreciated seeing Black families in this!
Great tips. I've adopted adult dogs from shelters because I knew I didn't have the time at home for a puppy. But now that I'm working home full time I'm looking into adopting a puppy and I totally agree about the structure. Start with a lot of structure and boundaries, and they can earn more freedom as a reward for positive behaviors. The second adult dog I adopted had a lot of food aggression (she was previously in an animal hoarding case and had to fight for food). We implemented a rule that she had to sit say during feeding time and couldn't eat until our other dog had finished eating. She learned VERY FAST to behave at mealtime and the food aggression stopped within a week.

Alright the best quote from Ian in this video for me is -"if a dog misbehaves in your home, it's your fault". Totally agree. Educate thyself and persevere. If anything these videos reminds me to take more time out to bond with my old girl who's 15 and a real inspiration. It's pretty heartbreaking when you hear Olive previous owner giving up.
Thanks, Rin Tin. Wow 15!? Yup, love that girl up. And the longer we have Olive the more signs of neglect and irresponsible ownership we discover. She's a sweetheart and a good girl, but she's working through some stuff that's all directly related to bad owners. Thanks for being one of the good ones!
This is AWESOME INFORMATION! I had my Precious Furbaby for 16 years and it's been one year since I put him to rest. I am still HEARTBROKEN!! I finally am thinking about getting another Furbaby, I promised my Magic when the time comes I will adopt/rescue from the shelter and I found this video to be Extremely Helpful with Creating Structure in the home🙏❤
Happy to help! I know it's hard to get another dog after losing one so precious, but they often help you heal and pay the love forward!
Having a last minute check in before we collect our puppy in 2.5 hours!! Feel so much more prepared having watched your videos over the last few weeks... thank you!!!!
You got this!
HANDS DOWN the best dog tip channel on youtube. I can tell you work hard on no only the content but the editing and structure that goes into these videos. Keep it up and THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you, Trace!
Yep, agree!
Olive going up and down those basement stairs is the best thing ever ❤️
Would love to hear tips for pee training for folks living in an apartment where it’s tough to get outside quickly.
Boy, I'm ao happy to have watched this only three days after bringing our puppy-girl schnauzer home. Most useful tips ever. Tomorrow some things will be changed 'for the greater good of everyone'. Thanks, man
Glad it was helpful!
I have taken on a 3 year old she snarled and snapped at me first meeting 😮💨
A few months later she is a Velcro dog, but I’ve taught her ‘place’ when I want her to go to her place where she has a chew etc.
We do sooo much of various stuff too.
Lots of walks and adventures 😊
She use to wee & pee all over the place.
Now she knows potty time is varied times early am etc
She now goes to the door if she wants out 😃
She use to tremble uncontrollably she still does but it considerably less noticeable.
She is a fast learner and an absolute pleasure.
We really enjoy each other’s company.
She’s seriously adorable.
We have Morning - night routine.
She’s an Angel…
For puppies, biting should definitely be a thing to focus on since they all do it. Great video
The same thing happened to my rescue dog! He was a 2 year old stray, and the original owner was found but he didn’t want him back. 😭 He was also underweight, not neutered, not potty trained, and was so sick he would constantly puke (we didn’t have access to knowing his old dog food, so we had to create a food plan). Since we were new pet owners, we definitely made some mistakes (I WISH I had found this video when we first found him!) mostly in how to play with him, because at first he didn’t even know what toys were! But this video made me feel so much better about how far he’s come in less than 6 months. He’s now a healthy weight, neutered, not barfing anymore, on a strict eating and walking schedule, potty trained, crate and bedtime trained, respects restricted areas even when the puppy gate is not up, and has been learning his basic commands like come, sit, stay, wait, take it, drop it, leave it, let go while playing and heel while walking. We are still dedicated to getting him trained even more once we get vaccinated for Covid, and sociable with other people and animals, but we’re so very happy he’s made such amazing progress! He’s such a good boy now and I’m so very proud of him! 🥰🥰🥰
Just found your channel because we have a new puppy. So wish this video existed 7 years ago when we got our first special needs dog from the shelter. Thank you for all your great educational videos, they are a huge asset to the dog caretaker community.
Thank you for the generous feedback. It's my pleasure.
This video was a great help to me as i just adopted a five year old rescue Havanese. She knew absolutely nothing as she had been kept in a cage all of her life and was never socialized. Thank you and I will be sure to watch more of your excellent videos.
I’m in the process of adopting a dog, I will be a first time dog owner, and the information out there is overwhelming. I appreciate how you presented all of this like you were talking to an idiot n0ob like myself. Now I feel way less anxious going into it.
How is your new dog now? 1 year since your comment. Did you survive ?! Lol
@@EvangeliumDiSilenti haha yes, she is currently snuggling with me right now. Adopted a Chihuahua who is more cat than dog, surprisingly easy to manage, doesn’t care to learn any commands but also has little negative behaviors living most of her life burrowed under a blanket. Came from the foster already leash and potty trained. She’s my perfect little starter dog. 😂
Truly happy that Olive have found her new home in you and your family. So far what I'm hearing from your videos are solid advice with a whole lot of caring. Keep it real and you can count on our support. Thumbs up👍
me too
😎
@@ethanarceneaux8460 swme
Olive going up and down the stairs cracked me up😂 great angle!
Wonderful video for new owners!! Your videos are very informative and unlike any other behaviourist out there..It's even better how humble and genuine of a person you are.
Can you please list some pro tips or maybe do a short video talking about how exactly to manage guarding behaviour in young puppies?
I have a 15 week old female working line gsd and she has recently started to guard toys and space from my 3 year old male gsd although he is very gentle and respectful of her puppy antics.
They play and sleep together but the puppy randomly out of fear or insecurity snaps and charges towards my boy without much warning or growling first. Please give me some advice so I can help them both to not only coexist with better management but maybe get them to trust each other to be left home alone eventually when the time is ready. thank you very much and wish you even more success in the future.
I'm not a pro, but in my experience it helps for each dog to have space that is their own like a crate. Constantly sharing space, toys, etc can lead to insecurity issues, especially in puppies. It's like giving children their own room.
I just adopted an adult rescue dog.Hes' been with me three days. Today I came across your channel and subscribed. My management of Brat ( a Boston Terrier/Rat Terrier mix)so far is just what you've explained in this video. He's well behaved, quiet ,attentive and very friendly. i've left him alone for up to an hour and neighbors say they've not heard a peep from himI hope he'll continue this behavior. i'm going out to get him a crate and some toys tomorrow.Thanks for all the good advice!
Going to be adopting a puppy in a week, and I’m very grateful for these videos. Thank you!
My wife and I just rehomed a 2 year old lurcher cross from our local rescue. Dozens of Simpawtico videos have helped us make this potentially challenging experience a seamless, easy and enjoyable process! Ian is a captivating educator with a wealth of knowledge and quick tips that have formed the backbone of how we show our love and care for our new family member! I'd be so lost without these beautifully edited and well structured vides!!
I feel the same!!
im getting my first dog today, and although i had read a lot about how to first introduce your new puppy to the house, nothing comes close to this. thank you so much for making this video, it was very well explained and as a first time owner, it was easy to understand! i literally cannot say thank you enough
I'm 64 and I just adopted Chevy a 1 yr old Boxer. My first pet EVER. I picked him up yesterday and although I had a child she is now an adult...I've forgotten things LOL.
Your video was the first video I've watched and you gave GREAT TIPS. TY!!!
I'm going to recommend this to our adopters! Dude is awesome!
I took my shelter dog back yesterday. I wish I had seen your videos a month ago or even before that. I wish they had your videos on Petfinder to help. Your videos are informative and truthful what's a gentle nudge. I've already been asked what I'm going to do since I do not have a dog. Last night I told her I was going to give it a rest. I am going to watch every one of your videos several times before I bring another dog into my house.
Hi Cynthia. Thank you for the generous feedback and I'm so sorry that you didn't have more resources available to you when you needed them. Definitely, adopters like yourself need and deserve as much support as possible. When you're ready you'll know! Good luck and stay positive; we can only use the tools available to us...and now you have more! Let us know how it goes on the next round, when you're ready.
I am getting a dog a week from now and I remembered that you had a video about the first days. So good, gives me some peace of mind and a lot of things to think through :) Thanks!
I love, love, love getting educated, I want my 2 year old pittie to be in good hands when I pick him up in less than 2 weeks!!
Thank you for your amazing advice, and all your work in making these awesome owner training videos.
I cannot begin to thank you enough, so many dogs will be better behaved with these owner training videos
Yes, they dogs are being trained, but, successful training of dog owners on how to actually train dogs, whoa, .... just stupendous.
I know the animals I've adopted were all given up due to not having any control over the animals.
God bless you, as these videos save lives of dogs in the final. That's the real truth, well behaved dogs are cherished.
You are awesome, you explain everything so clearly, I start working for a family next week training a new vizsla puppy, I’m so exited and I am educating myself on the do’s and do nots, I have started to watch all your videos.
Thank you and any tips would be great 👍
Jacquie
You're so welcome! Happy to help! And LOL you're gonna have your hands full with a Vizsla puppy!
You are fantastik! Everything you say is always for the good of the dog. I love your videos. Thank you!
yah😋
Hi. We lost our dog less than 2 months ago at 18 months due to cancer which was filling her lungs with fluids. She was the best animal I ever had and was my true therapy dog but unofficially. We went out and got two female puppies from two different litters because they are guardians for our chickens. Winnie and Molley. Your videos are so informative!! You made me feel better that I have not done trick training as much. They are already crate trained and potty trained for the most part. (13 and 15 weeks old) They listen when I asked them to "be easy" when playing. Molley is 2 weeks older an listens faster but both are pretty amazing. They even come to me when I call them, and I taught them the word "cookie" in case I need them in an emergency. I love your training! I love the bite video! You have amazing content, and I am so excited that I found your channel from my Great Pyrenees group on Facebook!! Thank you so so much for your amazing content! I bought a bunch of the toys you recommended too. Olive is adorable by the way!
I can speak first hand to dogs being very location specific! I confused the HELL out of my 10 yr old rotty by buying and moving into the house right nextdoor to our old one, which has a shared driveway with the old one. Suddenly we were going right upon arriving home instead of left. It took a good 2 weeks for him to start automatically going in the right direction. For a while he'd sit right in the middle of the driveway while I unloaded the groceries or what have you... looking back and forth between both porches wondering which way I was gonna go.
good to hear, I am going to do this to my new dog soon. I've been a little worried about it. We will share the same yard as the place we are in now and be in the same building, but different apartment. I am sure it will be confusing!
Getting a new doggo from my aunt in a few days, had to watch this so I can make sure he loves it here😇
Good luck!
Thank you so much. I'm getting a Husky in just under 4 weeks and want to get my thoughts in order before she gets here. This video has been so informative and helpful. Now it's time to look through more of your videos :)
Getting my first puppy on Sunday. This was very helpful 💖
Glad it was helpful!
I've always referred top this video! We recently adopted a 9 month old terrier mix from our local shelter. He seems to be a very energetic yet anxious dog. This video has been a guide into understanding his behavior! I'm so happy we stumbled to your channel!
This is the best dog training video. I just got a labradoodle two weeks ago. I’m trying so hard to be patient and consistent.
I adopted a small dog but he’s afraid to go out. I try and he’s a nervous reck. He also has separation anxiety help!
The absolute best dog training videos I've seen on the internet. So thankful for you.
Wow, thank you!
Love your videos! I hear you talking often about teaching your dog to love chew toys, and teaching them to use them properly, do you think you could do a video on this? thanks!
That's going to be in the next one!
Just given a forever home to a dog from a Cyprus dog rescue - settling in well, but I need reminders of how to 'think dog' to send all the right messages to him to help him feel wanted, welcome and well behaved. Thanks for the great tips so far.
I've got my 5-year old rescue dog for 4 days now and I think, we are doing ok, he is very intelligent and we are changing his bad habits from previous home.
I think, for rescue dogs it is important to visit vet straightaway, ours has got a lot of neglected health issues now we put it into the plan to deal wit h it.
That's definitely a valid point. I think most reputable (
I 've got rescue cat for 7 years, and only lately we managed to address all his health problems, now he is fine, I hope.
Considering taking a dog, (only from shelter, of course ) we knew the story must be the same. And it is, although we were told, he is absolutely fine .
I don't blame any rescue centers, many thanks for the work, they are doing.
But people - owners have got to think about it, it is a serious financial burden.
And not all families are able to do it from that reason.
Olive being described is like our new dog we adopted! We missed the first week and I feel so bad because we never did this! Now that I know this maybe I can help the family
Amazing advice! My baby will be home in a few weeks and this is the best 1st week home advice I've gotten that doesn't seem so "extra" (I guess is the word I'd use). Thanks!
You're welcome! Congratulations on your new family member!
Thank you! Finally I found a dog trainer that works ethical and especially after Dr. Ian Dunbar! I've been searching for a year to find someone. You do a great job, I really like your contents and methods!
Thanks for the tips. We'll eventually add a smaller dog to our family who'll hopefully join Story in testing toys!
Great video !! 😊 Very helpful 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so very much for reinforcing what I have been trying to teach the next generation
I think it is also important to do fun things with your dog. It shows your dog home much you love them and they’re usually really stressed because they’re going into a new environment and that can help to relieve it.
That's a good point. Actually, playing in any new place is a good way to help them become more confident as they move around the world.
This is probably the best, most informative new dog video I’ve watched! Definitely subscribing!
I've just adopted a 5 year old labrador mutt from a shelther and this video has been so helpful.
My dog is very well behaved but sometimes pees inside, and now I realized that it's due to lack of supervision and adequate potty training. Dogs actually learn so fast, that I'm really impressed, but I relly need to step up my game and keep a sharper look on him while he is in the house.
You’re awesome dude! This really helped me gain confidence in the things I was doing right and how to correct the mistakes. More importantly I shared this with my wife and four kids so we can all be in the same page. I’m no dog trainer, but I do know we’ve had much more success when everyone in the house is on the same page. Thanks!
This made me feel really good. I just adopted a dog that I found with micro chip and no one claimed. I wanted to make sure that I trained him right. I was researching a bunch of training videos on RUclips before he came home with me. You can watch all the videos in the world, but once the dog comes home with you it’s like, “what do I do first?” This just made me feel confident that I’m taking my dog on the right path. I have a really bad sleeping habit and because of him my sleeping patterns have gotten better because I want him to have a good life. LOL. having a good routine has been good for both of us. And so far he’s only had one accident when he first came home. I said no in my mean voice and he never did it again (well it’s only been 2days so far) . I also make sure I walk him at least 3 times a day since I don’t have a backyard. This video is great! A nice structured outline of what to do first. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
You are the best! I am about to become a New owner and your's are the most simple and informative vídeos! Great teacher and very good vídeo editing. Couldnt ask more than to ask you to keep up the vídeos coming.
Subscribed!
Hope you get all the sucess you deserve!
Thank you so much! And welcome aboard!
Btw, i find your channel name really interesting, it resembles a word from my country (Portugal): "Simpático" which is like nice in english but only aplies to a person or animal, (well maybe you know that...), like a nice guy is a "simpatico" guy. So that makes you a simpatico guy! ahah
Joao Lidonio Ian has the name "Simpawtico" becausenit is a play on the English language.
So your language plus a little something for our dog friends.
Sim-paw-tico.
;)
He did this on purpose since his channel is about training, and becoming the best owners for our dog companions as possible. ;)
Caint thank you enough. I've finally found a dog that fits my lifestyle after 6 months of searching & he's coming home in a week. Watching your vids these last few days have put a lot in perspective for me as I prepare for his arrival.
Awesome. I'm happy to help! Congratulations on your new doggie!
You deserve more subscribers!
Hershey's Adventures Agreed😊👍
I like it a lot and it's so cute
deffinetly😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Olive is adorbs. Thanks for these tips!
I know this video is old but also I know this video is the best 🙏 thank you because everything you said makes sense 🫶🐾🐾🐾
I'm glad it's still helpful to people!
Nice video. I wished I would have found you a couple of weeks ago. None the less, I am happy to have found you now. Nice video, great content! Looking forward to watching more video. We are brining home our first dog ( a rescue dog) tomorrow. Wish us luck.
GOOD LUCK! And congratulations on your first dog!
Such a helpful video, 3rd of October we pick up our little Boston Terrier & this has helped a lot. Thank you
Our pleasure!
You are making so much sense
I pick up my 2 yr old Amer port bull in two days and this was so helpful. I am going to share this video with my wife and 10 year old son.
Great video and informative!! Hopefully in the future you can go into what you talked about at 8:37 about training them to occupy themselves (I'm guessing this is what you called chew toy training in another video) when they're alone instead of be bored and sleep.
Saw down in the comments it will be coming with targeting!! Yay!!
I also started feeding my dog with the kong like how you recommended in the other video and now he gets excited when he sees the red kong :D It's entertaining for me to watch him work to get his food out too :)
Yup, exactly. I'm working on that one right now. 😉
I' m sooo happy that I found Simpawtico videos! We adopted a 2 years old bull type mix from a shelter, he is with us for a month now and THANK to these videos he integrated into the family without any errors.😊
That is awesome! Very happy to help!
I'm watching a lot of your videos because I'm bringing home my new dog home in a week. These tips were amazing! But I do have one question about the routine. I work at a doggy daycare and am planning on taking my new dog to work with me. Should I include her coming to work with me in this crucial routine time or should I let her settle in first?
Olive on the stairs - so cute 😄
“maybe if they had been properly taught how to co-exist in a human household, they’d still be there” 🤔 ouch
So true. and the whole 'Every dog in a shelter knows how to shake, but it's useless"
This is what has worked in the first week with our 3mth old puppy. Following a really strict routine/structure with lots of crate time followed by potty breaks and set feeding times has been amazing and essential with our new puppy.. At night after crating if they cannot hold it and need to go out again, just take the puppy out of the crate without any judgement, discussion, or interaction be somewhat business like, then go to the potty spot and tell him / her to go potty.. after success praise, but not excessively when done so they know they've done well, but dont get excited because they are now going back in the crate. Repeat as needed until scheduled wake up time (make sure they aren't playing you!). If they bark, yelp during crate time don't tell them to be quiet, instead just stick it out and they will settle. Covering the crate with a light blanket and having the radio on low during crate time helped us. If all else fails and they don't settle and bark, don't get frustrated just sit down by the crate saying nothing at all for about 5-10 mins (you can lift the blanket a little so they know you are there with light still off). Get up and go back to bed when they settle. This tip worked really well for us and reduced the puppys stress level. Thanks, Simpawtico for this forum and for your amazing videos..
Getting my first puppy in a month! How would these goals be different for a puppy? Is there anything different you would focus on?
wish i would have found your channel before i adopted a dog. we adopted her yesterday. she is 1 year old. im going to binge watch your videos now haha.
This is Ryan Reynolds biker brother
omg literally laughed out loud. hahahaha

a super masculine man gives me the 'toxic masculinity' vibes. any toxic behavior means you're toxic as a person. if a man can't just let another man be feminine and wear dresses, u aint my type :) honestly, ask women. all the girls hear toxic masculinity on tik tok and go 'yeah you dont speak for us we love a man who wears a dress'
Have a wonderful dog that does everything we like and expect from her. She’s perfect. We just brought a new rescue home and all this is coming back... this video was a great visit to everything I need to implement again.
"Its your fault" my heart dropped and I don't even have a dog....😂😂
Very cool, i was always tought that if a dog shat inside to say NO! And get angry, amazing to learn that it is literally doing nothing good, so glad i saw this just before we get our own puppy in my new house!
you are absolutely a great teacher ... thanks for sharing your knowledge
Wow thank YOU!
Just found your channel
Will be getting a new dog next week.
Half lhasa half schnauzer.
Your channel is the most useful that i found.

Thank you very much for explaining about the front door. I am getting my first foster greyhound soon and the Rescue people that came to do my home visit encouraged me to put stair treads on the front and back steps and to put mats down on the landings to make the stairs easier to learn. But I don't want the dog to go out the front door because the front yard isn't fenced and secured like the back yard. I was planning on putting up a baby gate but now I feel that I can train the dog by never using the front door. And of course training my roommate not to open the front door when the dog is near. And making sure the door is locked at all times.
Hi Nicky! Yup, you got it. Management is the key! Good plan!
Hi Ian! thanks for the great videos.
Could you maybe make one about how to discourage aggressive behaviour? Our boston terrier is now 1.5 years old and is never aggressive on our longs walks on parks or other areas (he is always playful and doesn't get bothered by bikes, runners, horses or anything else) , but when I bring him out just around our apartment he gets aggressive towards other dogs, bikes or even children. We live on the same place for a year now and this wasn't a problem before, but the other dogs in the neighbourhood were always very territorial towards him and I think he started it up as a "defence" mechanism.
When he starts to growl or pull on the leash I don't really know what is the correct way to stop it and i'm afraid i make the problem worse.
PS: Olive is a cutie pie! :)
I’m convincing my mom to get me a dog and we settled on that I need to prove myself responsible and pay for it myself saving up currently, but I’m still watching these videos because I want to know for the future with my new doggo 🐶
Another important thing to consider is not to bring a new dog into the house until the one you already have is well trained. A second dog should not be a band-aid to "fix" the first dog. The old dog will teach the new dog bad habits and it will only make the situation worse. On the flip side, already having a well trained dog in the house makes training a new puppy that much easier because the puppy can learn by example.
Yes, good point!
Your explanations are so sensible and useful. I was making so many mistakes with my 11 wk old GSD-- and I'm a psychiatrist, I should know better. Thanks to your instruction I hope I can do things right while we still have this window of opportunity.
Good luck!
Ian, I have a Great Pyr she is 1 year and I would really really love to teach her to recall... shes intelligent and likes training but the breed is so damned independent gets bored with treats eventually stops taking them (simply walks away). I try to counter this with super excited and praise but that doesn't work with the recall and heel commands cause she gets excited and starts bouncing around to play. Thus I have never gotten her to properly walk on a leash and I'm terrified she will turn into a Disa-Pyreneese if I let her off the leash.
Any suggestions?
Texas Atheist if she likes food and trying new things; try RAW green beans, carrots (the whole ones), or even freezing 100% NO SUGAR Pumpkin (from a can. (Ingredients: PUMPKIN))!
I have silicone molds for ice, in different shapes, and I put the pumpkin from the can in it and freeze it. My dog loves when I go to the freezer he knows what I'm grabbing (or hopes I'm grabbing them). Lol.
If you try pumpkin, make sure the ingredients literally say:
Pumpkin
Nothing else!!!
But yes he loves the green beans and the crunch it makes. Hehe.
The carets are also good for them too.
:)
Let me know if you try this and if you Fur Baby loves it!
Today is the day we pick up our first baby, he is a 8 month old Pitbull Terrier and we are very excited yet every afternoon while we eat dinner, we put this video on and watch it from start to end to remind ourselves what we should do to promote good behavioral skills. Awesome video, we enjoyed. 👍🏻
Hi Ian, I absolutely love your videos!!! I've been watching a lot of videos over the last few days because we are getting our pup Skye (a border collie) in about 3 weeks. I'm really excited because she will be the perfect friend for us and the kids. I do however have a question for you... We want Skye to be friends with our cat as well. And im not quite sure how to approach this... Do they meet immediately, how to reward good behaviour towards each other, etc...
Keep up the good work!!!
Paw and kisses from belgium,
Trisha
Thank you, we have a Standard poodle, and this first week has been interesting. Tanner-rite is 6 months old. Skittish about his new home.. Routine has been a God send.
My cat thinks he is a dog so yeah im here...its kinda weird
As someone who grew up with dogs but wasn’t sure what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong this was so helpful! I want to get a dog now but I want to make certain I know what I need to beforehand so I don’t mess it up
8:40 this is strictly forbidden in my country (Sweden). Keeping a dog in a cage indoors is against the law here even if it is just for 2 minutes.
I don’t think it’s good either. I wish it was banned
It’s not even allowed to sleep in at night? Or do you use a puppy pen around their bed etc? Norwegian here, I’ve heard about this law in Sweden, but I don’t think we have the same in Norway. Crate training isn’t normal here though, maybe just to sleep in at night when they’re a puppy, but even during the day my puppy had a 70x140cm confinement.
I’m getting my first ever dog in 2 weeks and I’m so glad for this video!
I taught my puppy to come into the house from the backyard after potty time when i opened the door and say "luna, metete" (luna, come in). Now she just scratches the window when she is done and comes in without any instruction. That was important for me because going out with her every time wasn't an option with winter weather and also because our land is kind of big and I do not wanted her wondering all over the place every time, specially at night.
Probably the best, introducing a new pack member to your home video I've seen. Good job man.
Wow, thanks!
Yay! I'm the 1000th person to like this vid!!!
WOOT! Thank you!
I just subscribed and have watched several of your videos already. We are getting an 8 week old sheltie on Saturday. I have never raised a puppy, 2 kids and I am a daycare teacher but no puppies. I am enjoying your videos and finding them quite informative. I will be using lots of your advice.
