1. Keep their world small 2. Limit access in home with baby gates and crates (too much freedom is overstimulating) 3. Give the puppy room to be alone so they know nothing bad will happen when you leave. 4. Three things to focus on first day : calm intentional play (pay attention to how they play), crate normalization, frequent potty breaks (every hour). 5. Pick 3 toys for the first week - hard, soft, ball - see what they like. Play one toy at a time. 6. Basic obedience - short and positive reinforcements 7. Touch ALL over (not too much at first) 8. First 3-4 weeks hand feed the puppy every meal if possible. Ask them to do different things (wait for them to calm) !!! Hold food under thumb and release it when they only use tongue. 9. No food or water 2-3 hours before bed. No naps for the puppy. 10. If you have children, have kids watch the first few days to learn proper touch and play.
@@tiffanyg557 she is doing so good, we’ve been doing lots of training and we’ve gotten her house trained and crate trained! She knows the basics and we’re just now starting to do place commands. She doesn’t like my cat but we’re doing some training to resolve that too!
@@MGeorge1301 when we first got her, we would take her out every 2-3 hours and stand there until she peed or pooped (usually took 5 minutes) and while she was peeing or pooping I mean as she was using the bathroom we have her treat, everytime we took her out we would hit the bell to teach her that when she goes outside the bell rings and she shortly started using the bells to tell us she needs to use the bathroom. As for crate training, we would do little intervals of time with her in it, sometimes we were in the room with her and others she wasn’t, we just built her up to the point where she would be able to sleep and be in the crate while we were at work or when it was time for bedtime

How is he/she going? I really want to get a puppy, my mum is coming around slowly and I’m a little nervous, I’m just curious if it’s reasonably easy, and worth it?
Hmmm. It’s complicated. He’s a great little dog but you have to pay so much attention to them! I’m 28, and okay with the fact that sometimes I can’t go to a friends or stay out or whatever cuz I have to take care of my dog. I would suggest waiting til your older- not because you’re not responsible enough, but because there are times that you will need to put your dog before your desires to be with friends, be lazy etc.
@@jasmynyvonne562 I can say that it's true that you're going to be spending more time with your puppy than your own desires. I've gotten into the bad habit of being on my computer almost all of the time. The puppy has only been here for about 3 days, and I've already gotten used to not being on the computer all the time. What I usually do is spend time with the puppy while I have a show or youtube on the TV. I'm spending time with the puppy and having fun. Spending time with your puppy is fun, but it's more enjoyable when you have something playing on the TV.
1. Give them small space first (playpens) 2. When u go bedroom put them in crate when they quiet down give treat let them out like no big deal 3. Play in/ around crate 4. 3 toys ( soft, ball n rope, hard with noise) 5. Hand feed their meals 3-4meals a day, while asking them to do commands, or when they’re calm and quiet then only feed
My grandmother is letting me stay at her house for the spring and summer rent-free and in return I'm training her new 8 week old puppy! This is super helpful!! Ur giving me a place to live doing this, so thank you!
I watched your videos when I got a golden doodle puppy 2 years ago and puppy was potty trained in 2 days, learned all the commands and had been the best dog ever! Thank you for sharing so much helpful information.
Dogs aren’t humans, and don’t require the amount of care that babies need. Dogs are animals, don’t treat them as humans (if I ever get one I’ll keep it outside) but of course still show love to them.
@@tinsaebekele6618 really amazing. I followed her videos down to the letter. He is now 12 weeks old. He sleeps from 11pm till 630. It's work but these videos were a game changer. He is the love of my life.
LIFESAVER!!! It's been over 6 years since we've had a puppy, we brought our 8 week old Goldendoodle home on Friday!! As of yesterday ZERO, 0, ZILTCH accidents inside the house or crate, she has mastered the Sit and attention commands and is knocking on place, and high 5!! Thank you!!
The tip about avoiding separation anxiety was life changing for me! Our yorkie goes on hunger strikes, refuses to sleep and cries if I’m not around (especially at night). We’re getting a new puppy this week and I can’t wait to try your wisdom!
Rachel, I have been watching your videos in preparation for my partner and I's new goldendoodle Ruby. Your videos are helping in more ways than you know. I was wondering if you could enable the subtitles? I am hard of hearing and they help me so much! I usually will lip read but when the camera is off you I tend to have a hard time. Thank you, and please continue to put out these videos. You are making a difference!!!
Omg then you’ve definitely come to the right channel like Rachel is amazing and soo knowledgeable like yah welcome to the healthy dog world on RUclips 👏👏🥳
Rachel, we’ve had our 11-week-old lab puppy for a week now. It isn’t our first dog, but definitely our best experience thanks to your tips: proactive house training; feeding by hand (he knows pay attention, sit, down and wait for it....down back to sit! ) He sits at the door now like his housemate without being asked. We purchased a version of the playpen you recommended as well and it is great when I have to do email, personal finance stuff or cook dinner. It’s a really great lower bookshelf barrier when folded up! Oh those books are tasty. He already sleeps quietly in his crate and made it 4 hours without a break last night. We are still working on nipping and mouthiness. Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Watched your videos for training a puppy 2.5 years ago for my first. Bringing home a new puppy next month and watching again 🤍🐾 helped so much the first go around! My puppy was easily crate and potty trained from your videos
also…. My first dog refused to go potty at night 😅 I woke him up every night to try and he stood there groggy and annoyed 😂. We never had to go out at night, even now 🙏🏼
1. Keep their world small 2. Use babygates/playpens/crates to limit access in the home to avoid potty accidents 3. Get them used to you not always being around by leaving them alone in short intervals to prevent sepanx 4. Crate-train them by playing inside and around their crate 5. Buy at least 3 toys to stimulate their minds, preferably toys that make a sound 6. Get them used to being touched to prevent issues down the road 7. Hand-feed the puppy every single meal for the first 3-4 weeks to stop puppy biting and start asking them to do tricks before giving them their meal. Optional: only release the kibble in your hand when the puppy uses their tongue instead of their teeth to try to gain access to the treat to encourage being gentle 8. Don’t give water 2-4 hours before bedtime to prevent accidents during the night 9. No naps at night so puppy sleeps thru the night 10. If you have kids, try letting them observe how to interact properly with the puppy first before playing Not completely accurate or complete, these are more like personal notes 💚
This is so lovely. I used to be obsessed with dog training (even though I didn't have a dog of my own at the time) and watched dog training videos all the time for fun. I love your positive, calm, strategic approach to puppy raising. I'm so glad I found your channel. I will be watching all of your videos to prepare to get a puppy this summer. Thank you!
So I prepared for the day I received my puppy and I watched all of your videos.. GIRL. I got my puppy crate trained and potty trained for the most part on the FIRST NIGHT. He hasn't pooped in his crate at all he peed once but I wake up at 12am and 3am to take him out and he goes pee and poop everytime it's like he already knows to wait until I let him out. Thank you for all your tips!!
Getting our first puppy...never had a dog before and I am 62 years old. Fantastic videos... so easy to watch and learn. So well done! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
I personally recommend looking up your favorite (or favorites) dog breed and googling them to see if they have the right characteristics: amount of energy, playfulness, stubbornness, how aggressive, etc.. (and if you don’t have a favorite, then you can watch dog facts about different random breeds or ask people with dogs what breed their dog is and what he/she is like) that’s what I do anyways.
I might be getting my golden doodle puppy in 4-5 months but I am writing a little book for myself so I can make sure I train my puppy write thank you !
Getting my cockatoo in a couple of weeks. A Merle boy and this is my FIRST DOG EVER and I am sooo scared and excited at the same time. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m doin it… send me well wishes guys… I feel like I’m waiting for a new human baby LOL There are a billion videos… everyone has different advice… a billion things to think of and or buy … puppy proofing, etc.. it’s all very overwhelming
I obsessed with anything I can learn and grateful for you, I'm preparing the way for my Trixie. So I started taking notes and learning to do everything right. BTW...Trixie isn't born yet. Waiting for the breeder to call me. Love your videos, dear Rachel. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
The one thing I learned from my last puppy was DONT GET EXPENSIVE TOYS. They will destroy toys. But, they are just as happy chasing a sock tied in a knot or an empty water bottle. Those are a lot cheaper. Plus, you won’t have thrown money away. I had ordered so many stuffed toys who were destroyed in 5 minutes and cost $20+. Now, she is 7 years old and her rubber cube, 2 rubber piggies and socks she still plays with all the time.
Rachel, you are the biggest inspiration at being a dog mom, I’m such a big fan ilysm and I really appreciate you, there is a chance I get a dog next week and I’m super exited I hope you keep creating more awesome videos!
Didn’t need to watch this but felt like I did because this will be the first time bringing a puppy into the home without a older dog to help her learn things quicker lol
I am getting a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and am watching you seriously. You have the most reasonable actions for how to treat a new puppy. I love watching these shows.
I'm getting my Jack Russell Terrier puppy tomorrow. I'm so excited but also nervous because of the huge responsibilities. Your videos help me out so much. Thanks a lot! Do you have any tips you can give in specific to Jack Russell puppies? Love your video, keep uploading so us first time owners can learn!😊
@@shubharthidatta143 Oh that’s sad We needed to get our puppy a few weeks later than expected bc of extended lockdown. But it’s so great we finally got him
Wow, this is amazing. This is the most informative and and well thought out video I've seen about puppy training so far. And 3verything is so well explained. Absolutely amazing 🤩❤ Also, I'm a nursery teacher working woth kids between 1 and 3. The napping problem and the overstimulation seems very very familiar 😂 So thank you so so much ❤
My puppy is born this week and I'll get to pick her up in 8-10 weeks. She'll be my first dog. Been researching dog stuff for the past 3 years and even though I know a lot theoretical about their behavior, it is always nice to recap and prepare myself for the practical part of puppyhood. Your videos are well made so I'll be checking in quite often these next months!
I've been watching your videos for a long time now and these are helping. I don't have a puppy and I doubt I'll get one soon but I love your videos! My brother and dad are allergic and puppies are too much care so we can't get one. I'll definitely get one when I'm older and re-watch your videos. Thx sm, I'm 11 and there's like a million more years till I move out and get a puppy. 🙌🏼💕
We’ve watched so many of your training videos and we love how informative they are. I would love to see some vlogs of you and your dogs interacting on a normal, lazy-Saturday kind of day.
we have a little "snuggle puppy" which is like a child's teddy bear only its for puppys. It has a "heart beat" sound that also slightly vibrates on the heartbeat. I'm hoping this will help sleeptime. I don't really want him to chew on it, so wont provide that at play time, just bed time. I hope to have enough chew toys they will prefer to chew on those instead.
Hi Rachel! I just wanted to point out that Wally is getting so big 😭 I Love Your Videos so Much! They are always so helpful and simple! Also, Thank You so much for replying to me in the Live Chat! When you do that it makes my day! I also think when you reply to other people it makes there day too! ❤️❤️❤️ I Love You and Your Channel! Please never stop doing what you are doing! ❤️❤️❤️ Is Wally a barker? I’ve never heard him bark in your videos..! Thank You 😊 - Turkey
Rachel I lost my beloved dog, Sadie a little over a year ago & finally ( she was poisoned by a jogger, of all people) was able to consider getting another dog without crying my eyes out, I was so sad and distraught I couldn't even watch a commercial with dogs without falling apart. I did & still do have a cat who mourned her not being home for a few months but our new dog looks like Sadie so much that I thoroughly believed God had intervened to help me get over my horrific mourning. I will sound prejudiced but Sadie was the sweetest dog I had ever had and the first not to die of old age. The problem is our cat, it's been 3 weeks & Sammy a male is still giving especially me a hard time. We had two other dogs he managed with fine but this sweet dog I named Sadie2 he just hisses at, runs away from and well it seems he wants me all to himself. I love cats & we've had him for 12 years now but I have fallen in love with Sadie2. As hard as it is to believe she's just as sweet as Sadie if not sweeter! What can I do about our cat? We have tried all you mentioned in your videos (except for prep prior to arrival) I thought our cat would be the least of our problems. After all he'd dealt well with 2 other dogs and he entered the house with a dog in the home. Can you help me my husband of 33 years keeps saying take the dog back! He is angry with Sadie when he says it but it hurts me to the point of tears. To be honest we have bo children & saying goodbye to him might be easier! PLEASE HELP in Md. Dee
I’m looking at getting a toy poodle towards then end of this year. Would love to know how your pup is getting on. We live in an apartment and travel in a motorhome.
Hi Rachel can you please do a video on stoping your dog from marking in the house because I’ve tried everything and I want another dog but that’s stoping us from getting one right now, love your videos
Im not Rachel but a tip is to make sure that you clean the area they peed in very very well. If they smell their pee there they will continue to go in the house. I also recommend just watching her potty training videos.
im wondering where you got the crate that you plan on using in the car? i get my puppy next month and ive been looking for something similar to that and cant find anything! thanks in advance :)
Hi I'm getting a service dog. I'm getting a puppy. I have Phyciatric needs. I have a dog that I potty trained. But he came to me at an older age. 1 years. I will be getting a puppy. I haven't ever had a puppy puppy before. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
By now, I think I’ve watched almost ALL of your videos!! They are so worth it. I started off watching different RUclipsrs to prep for my puppy, but ended up sticking with only you because you are AWESOME, so full of joy, and you’ve had a video for EVERY question I’ve had so far! It’s like past-you can read my mind. Hahah Thank you for your knowledge!!
I definitely recommend checking out local shelters they have puppies a lot the benefits are rescuing a puppy and adoption fees are a lot less than breeder prices
Hey Rachel, Can you please create a video on teaching your puppy to let you know when they need to go outside for potty? My puppy sometimes wines and/or barks, and sometimes he does not, and ends up going inside. It is never consistent. Mistakes happen on days he drinks more water than usual. We are usually on top of it for taking him outside most times, but this is before he even has a chance to make a mistake. We considered teaching the bell method, but I am hoping you could make some recommendations. Thanks!
Hi Rachel Can you make a video on "how to convince your parents for a dog if your parents are strict" because my mom is so strict she doesn't want one i made a presentation it convinced her a little but she said she is 50% convinced and she needs to be 100% convinced, i need help, Thank you rachel i love your videos even if i dont have a dog.....Yet
She has many. Pls try to adopt a dog that’s unlikely to get adopted. Update me 1) ruclips.net/video/VI6dWLh1JWA/видео.html 2) ruclips.net/video/tSvnPKUb3-w/видео.html 3)ruclips.net/video/m6wk-C3LO1s/видео.html 4)ruclips.net/video/uvhBqvJw0gs/видео.html
I had the same problem I wanted one so bad and my mom was ok with getting one but my dad said no for around 5 years. This year he finally let me get one it was the hardest thing to convince him. It was my birthday gift and Christmas gift and I have to do all the work and stuff and he said that if I don’t do the work that we will return him and never get another one so I’ve always done all the work I’ve only had him for 6 weeks. but before I can tell you how to convince why doesn’t she want on once I know I can try to help you because most likely it was the same type of situation as me
I convinced my parents to get a golden doodle puppy (getting the baby November 14-20 hopefully, unless we would rather wait next litter but I’m confident we will like this pup) by making a presentation with 100 reasons why, when I would take care of the puppy and how, and I made a schedule. My parents at first 100o/o did not want a puppy because we already had 2 dog and a cat but I convinced them!
Do you think a soft playpen (sort of a smaller hexagon shape) would be a fine alternative to a soft crate? That’s what we have right now, and that’s what Theo (my puppy) is used to
I have a super active stubborn brussel Griffon they are so smart but also Velcro dogs this is my third one he flies through the air I tried the whole great thing no way!! He sleeps with us which helps now it’s time to potty trains yikes !!!
just got my mini golden doodle friday, and feel like I failed with the crate training, just saw the crate videos, hopefully I can correct some of the problems...
Oh man I feel horrible 😞 we had visitors in her first days of bringing her home. We didn't say "no" to family and friends. She's been with us for 1 week and noticed she's very shy/timid. From watching your video we will give her a break and no visitors!!!!! (At least for 1 week). We had people sit on the couch and give her, her own food. We knew we should say no, but had visitors at the door. Yikes "NO" from now on. Thank you for your video.

I’ve had family dogs all my life but I’m picking up my very own puppy soon and these videos are so helpful. So much to learn but I’m so excited!
Getting our first puppy...never had a dog before and I am 62 years old. Fantastic videos... so easy to watch and learn. So well done! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Thanks so much! I love your style and your message. How is the best way to pick the best breed for me?
I personally recommend looking up your favorite (or favorites) dog breed and googling them to see if they have the right characteristics: amount of energy, playfulness, stubbornness, how aggressive, etc.. (and if you don’t have a favorite, then you can watch dog facts about different random breeds or ask people with dogs what breed their dog is and what he/she is like)
that’s what I do anyways.
Im getting my bernedoodle tomorrow actually, I am here watching every video as possible because I am super nervous but super excited!
How is it going??? I’m getting one in a couple of weeks
I just got my first puppy ever in my whole entire life and this help me very much
i love the puppy videos, please keep making more!! we’re getting a puppy soon and i know these are going to be super helpful 💕
I might be getting my golden doodle puppy in 4-5 months but I am writing a little book for myself so I can make sure I train my puppy write thank you !
Your the best and Im getting a puppy for Christmas and you helped me SO much, and Im so prepared
Getting my cockatoo in a couple of weeks. A Merle boy and this is my FIRST DOG EVER and I am sooo scared and excited at the same time. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m doin it… send me well wishes guys… I feel like I’m waiting for a new human baby LOL
There are a billion videos… everyone has different advice… a billion things to think of and or buy … puppy proofing, etc.. it’s all very overwhelming
I obsessed with anything I can learn and grateful for you, I'm preparing the way for my Trixie. So I started taking notes and learning to do everything right. BTW...Trixie isn't born yet. Waiting for the breeder to call me. Love your videos, dear Rachel. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Can I ask How was your experience with Trixie??
@@eibteeda3317 She is nine months now and she is the love of our lives.
Omg m’y cats called Trixie
@@lig4970 im happy for you and your pup but did you ever think about adopting lot of dogs die everyday in shelters
I just adopted a puppy and I’m taking her home next week after vacation
My room is small so that would be his crate lol
Same
The one thing I learned from my last puppy was DONT GET EXPENSIVE TOYS. They will destroy toys. But, they are just as happy chasing a sock tied in a knot or an empty water bottle. Those are a lot cheaper. Plus, you won’t have thrown money away. I had ordered so many stuffed toys who were destroyed in 5 minutes and cost $20+. Now, she is 7 years old and her rubber cube, 2 rubber piggies and socks she still plays with all the time.
I’ve watched your videos for three hours because I’m getting a puppy next Saturday
Oh that’s awesome thank you! And congratulations
I go pick up a little baby on Saturday I can’t wait
Rachel, you are the biggest inspiration at being a dog mom, I’m such a big fan ilysm and I really appreciate you, there is a chance I get a dog next week and I’m super exited I hope you keep creating more awesome videos!
Agreed! They have the best Fideos ever!
Didn’t need to watch this but felt like I did because this will be the first time bringing a puppy into the home without a older dog to help her learn things quicker lol
Dang it. Just three weeks late. I got my puppy a while ago and I’m loving him but I wish this came out sooner!
I am getting a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and am watching you seriously. You have the most reasonable actions for how to treat a new puppy. I love watching these shows.
I'm getting my Jack Russell Terrier puppy tomorrow. I'm so excited but also nervous because of the huge responsibilities. Your videos help me out so much. Thanks a lot! Do you have any tips you can give in specific to Jack Russell puppies? Love your video, keep uploading so us first time owners can learn!😊
Rashmi Venkatesh ...Best of Luck !....Btw JRTs are too adorable and the best breed u can think of...!...Give it the right amount of exercise though !
I bet you are getting excited!!
❤️🐾🇦🇺
@@esh903
So exciting for all the new puppy parents!!
I know right !...I’m getting one too in a month’s time !!!🤩🥳
Congratulations on your new pup! But be careful and do not over or under exercise your puppy. Jack Russel is a serious athlete and hunter.
im picking up my puppy tomorrow and im really nervous that im going to do something wrong so this helped me so much
Literally this time next week I’ll have my puppy, I’m sooo excited😆
Same !!!
Damn buddy I got mine today❤️❤️❤️
German shepherd named Jarvis
@@yagsterplayz9329 that’s so great! Hope you have fun with him!😆
I don't have a dog but I love watching your videos about dogs cuz I'm a big fan of dogs
I just got a puppy 2 hours ago called Merlin!!!!
He’s so cute!
ahh i already convinced my parents but i need to wait longer because of CorOnA
@@shubharthidatta143
Oh that’s sad
We needed to get our puppy a few weeks later than expected bc of extended lockdown. But it’s so great we finally got him
@@samanthachoy9786 aww, thats great! :)
@@shubharthidatta143 thxxx
Wow, this is amazing. This is the most informative and and well thought out video I've seen about puppy training so far. And 3verything is so well explained. Absolutely amazing 🤩❤
Also, I'm a nursery teacher working woth kids between 1 and 3. The napping problem and the overstimulation seems very very familiar 😂
So thank you so so much ❤
My puppy is born this week and I'll get to pick her up in 8-10 weeks. She'll be my first dog. Been researching dog stuff for the past 3 years and even though I know a lot theoretical about their behavior, it is always nice to recap and prepare myself for the practical part of puppyhood. Your videos are well made so I'll be checking in quite often these next months!
How is your puppy going? Would love to hear any tips and tricks you’ve learned
I've been watching your videos for a long time now and these are helping. I don't have a puppy and I doubt I'll get one soon but I love your videos! My brother and dad are allergic and puppies are too much care so we can't get one. I'll definitely get one when I'm older and re-watch your videos. Thx sm, I'm 11 and there's like a million more years till I move out and get a puppy. 🙌🏼💕
Why are people waiting- it starts tomorrow...
Omg I’m picking up my puppy tomorrow and I’m sooo nervous and exciteddd
We’ve watched so many of your training videos and we love how informative they are. I would love to see some vlogs of you and your dogs interacting on a normal, lazy-Saturday kind of day.
Hello
Picking up our boy tomorrow and I’m prepared and ready. Thanks
thx for ur vids they r soooo helpful bc im getting my puppy in january!!!! #saveallthedamndogs!!!
Im getting my puppy tomorrow ive been waiting so long i cant explain the excitement
Mine comes home in two weeks!! Thanks you for this!
I’m taking notes cause I haven’t had a puppy since I was 5 and is getting one for my birthday which is in July
These videos are the best training for dogs owners Ive ever seen !! Thank you for your time and making it look easy to do.
we have a little "snuggle puppy" which is like a child's teddy bear only its for puppys. It has a "heart beat" sound that also slightly vibrates on the heartbeat. I'm hoping this will help sleeptime. I don't really want him to chew on it, so wont provide that at play time, just bed time. I hope to have enough chew toys they will prefer to chew on those instead.
I hope to get a puppy in two years so I’m preparing myself as much as possible
hes so cute🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Hi Rachel! I just wanted to point out that Wally is getting so big 😭
I Love Your Videos so Much! They are always so helpful and simple!

I Love You and Your Channel! Please never stop doing what you are doing! ❤️❤️❤️
Is Wally a barker? I’ve never heard him bark in your videos..!
Thank You 😊

Rachel I lost my beloved dog, Sadie a little over a year ago & finally ( she was poisoned by a jogger, of all people) was able to consider getting another dog without crying my eyes out, I was so sad and distraught I couldn't even watch a commercial with dogs without falling apart. I did & still do have a cat who mourned her not being home for a few months but our new dog looks like Sadie so much that I thoroughly believed God had intervened to help me get over my horrific mourning. I will sound prejudiced but Sadie was the sweetest dog I had ever had and the first not to die of old age. The problem is our cat, it's been 3 weeks & Sammy a male is still giving especially me a hard time. We had two other dogs he managed with fine but this sweet dog I named Sadie2 he just hisses at, runs away from and well it seems he wants me all to himself. I love cats & we've had him for 12 years now but I have fallen in love with Sadie2. As hard as it is to believe she's just as sweet as Sadie if not sweeter! What can I do about our cat? We have tried all you mentioned in your videos (except for prep prior to arrival) I thought our cat would be the least of our problems. After all he'd dealt well with 2 other dogs and he entered the house with a dog in the home. Can you help me my husband of 33 years keeps saying take the dog back! He is angry with Sadie when he says it but it hurts me to the point of tears. To be honest we have bo children & saying goodbye to him might be easier! PLEASE HELP in Md. Dee
I’m getting a puppy ( toy poodle) on the 29th of October and you’ve helped me prepare and learn more so much. I’m so excited 😆
I’m looking at getting a toy poodle towards then end of this year. Would love to know how your pup is getting on. We live in an apartment and travel in a motorhome.
my standard poodle is not even a week old yet, but I’m gonna make sure i’m prepared for 7 weeks from now when he comes home:)
i am picking my puppy on thursday! your videos have helped me a lot to feel more prepared
i get my puppy today omg i’m so excited
Rachel you should try get teach us and train a inexperienced puppy and how to potty train I think that would work better too :)❤️❤️
Hi Rachel can you please do a video on stoping your dog from marking in the house because I’ve tried everything and I want another dog but that’s stoping us from getting one right now, love your videos
Im not Rachel but a tip is to make sure that you clean the area they peed in very very well. If they smell their pee there they will continue to go in the house. I also recommend just watching her potty training videos.
@@huedenise Thank you so much this really helps me and I will try this and see how it goes.
im wondering where you got the crate that you plan on using in the car? i get my puppy next month and ive been looking for something similar to that and cant find anything! thanks in advance :)
this is so cool thx u so much for doing this :)
I’m getting a miniature Australian Shepherd in a few months so I’ve just been binging your videos
Hi I'm getting a service dog. I'm getting a puppy. I have Phyciatric needs. I have a dog that I potty trained. But he came to me at an older age. 1 years. I will be getting a puppy. I haven't ever had a puppy puppy before. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
By now, I think I’ve watched almost ALL of your videos!! They are so worth it. I started off watching different RUclipsrs to prep for my puppy, but ended up sticking with only you because you are AWESOME, so full of joy, and you’ve had a video for EVERY question I’ve had so far! It’s like past-you can read my mind. Hahah Thank you for your knowledge!!
😅
I just got my puppy and this is really helping!
ahh this was so helpful! i already convinced my parents about the puppy we just need to wait for a bit cause we need to find the perfect breeder!
I definitely recommend checking out local shelters they have puppies a lot the benefits are rescuing a puppy and adoption fees are a lot less than breeder prices
fish bloop Im not forcing her to do anything I’m letting her know of other options to consider to hopefully give helpful advice chill out dude
@@TheChessmastersa ok I’m sorry
This is exactly the video I needed to find. This is perfect ! Thank you so so much for this helpful information !
Hey Rachel, Can you please create a video on teaching your puppy to let you know when they need to go outside for potty? My puppy sometimes wines and/or barks, and sometimes he does not, and ends up going inside. It is never consistent. Mistakes happen on days he drinks more water than usual. We are usually on top of it for taking him outside most times, but this is before he even has a chance to make a mistake. We considered teaching the bell method, but I am hoping you could make some recommendations. Thanks!
Im bringing a Foster puppy home this friday, so excited.
Hi Rachel Can you make a video on "how to convince your parents for a dog if your parents are strict" because my mom is so strict she doesn't want one i made a presentation it convinced her a little but she said she is 50% convinced and she needs to be 100% convinced, i need help, Thank you rachel i love your videos even if i dont have a dog.....Yet
She has many. Pls try to adopt a dog that’s unlikely to get adopted. Update me

She's already made one!
I had the same problem I wanted one so bad and my mom was ok with getting one but my dad said no for around 5 years. This year he finally let me get one it was the hardest thing to convince him. It was my birthday gift and Christmas gift and I have to do all the work and stuff and he said that if I don’t do the work that we will return him and never get another one so I’ve always done all the work I’ve only had him for 6 weeks. but before I can tell you how to convince why doesn’t she want on once I know I can try to help you because most likely it was the same type of situation as me
I convinced my parents to get a golden doodle puppy (getting the baby November 14-20 hopefully, unless we would rather wait next litter but I’m confident we will like this pup) by making a presentation with 100 reasons why, when I would take care of the puppy and how, and I made a schedule. My parents at first 100o/o did not want a puppy because we already had 2 dog and a cat but I convinced them!
Same
I love your videos!! Thank you for educating us !
Do you think a soft playpen (sort of a smaller hexagon shape) would be a fine alternative to a soft crate? That’s what we have right now, and that’s what Theo (my puppy) is used to
I have a super active stubborn brussel Griffon they are so smart but also Velcro dogs this is my third one he flies through the air I tried the whole great thing no way!! He sleeps with us which helps now it’s time to potty trains yikes !!!
just got my mini golden doodle friday, and feel like I failed with the crate training, just saw the crate videos, hopefully I can correct some of the problems...
Omg Rachel Wally is adorable and your so good with him! I'm getting a puppy for my birthday so your video was helpful so I don’t get stressed. 😊
I'm getting my puppy in January and I've been binge watching all of your videos!! We can't wait to bring her home 🥰🥰
Oh man I feel horrible 😞 we had visitors in her first days of bringing her home. We didn't say "no" to family and friends. She's been with us for 1 week and noticed she's very shy/timid. From watching your video we will give her a break and no visitors!!!!! (At least for 1 week). We had people sit on the couch and give her, her own food. We knew we should say no, but had visitors at the door. Yikes "NO" from now on. Thank you for your video.
