I’ve loved watching these videos so far. I just brought home our 7 week old GSD puppy. I’m another video you mentioned that crying it out is ok. In the video I see that you do not recommend the “cry it out” method. He is not adapting too well to the crate and are working on the puppy “in and out” game to help. Is he ok to cry it out or is there another way?
Just brought home my first puppy (8 week Cocker Spaniel), thank you for breaking down what I should be expecting, I think ive been trying way too hard!
Your videos are SO helpful! Thank you! We just brought our 9-wk old lab puppy home last week. She’s doing pretty good with potty training but screams and cries if we shut the door of the crate. We feed her in her ‘day’ crate but at night we’ve gone to co-sleeping on the floor (I know, I know) because we both work and need to sleep. We can’t sleep when she’s crying and we don’t know what to do!
We are so glad we can help you! Take a look at this video and then consider our new mini course if you want to start on the crate training games: ruclips.net/video/s0r-E3R3XT4/видео.html Crate training mini course: courses.howtotrainadreamdog.com/crate-training-course
Yes! It's surprising how much sleep they need, but you'll start to notice the signs that she's tired and can get her down for a nap before she starts to get frustrating!
Crate training, Michelle I think I have a big mistake. We’ve had Sam three weeks and he is settling in, but not in a Crate. I bought one from Petsmart last week, but Sam hates it. He panics when we try to use it. Did I wait too long? My goal is for Sam to be my buddy, sleep in my bed and be a great companion. My wife and I are 82 years. We love the little guy and want to do the right thing. Hopefully we haven’t made too big of a mistake. Sincerely, Harry Mulder
Harry we can help you with this! You definitely didn't wait to long. Let's get going on a training plan for you and Sam. Please post your question in our Student group or attend one of our Zoom calls and we can get started!
There is definitely a way to allow him to go outside, for exposure training and potty breaks, while still keeping him safe. This video can explain how to do it and why it's really important to do now, before he turns 16 weeks of age. ruclips.net/video/vybaTk4wdGA/видео.html
@ thank you so much I’m checking out the video. Do you have any other tips on separation because I got him a play pen and he still wines while he is in it and when he is out he loves to go to corners or under the couch by himself . I want to break him out of that very soon! Also he shakes a lot when we are out, because I couldn’t leave him by himself for the first day
I am currently trying to train my 9 week old lab puppy to love her crate. I also have two older adult labs that do not use a crate. Do I position the puppy to see the other dogs while Im not home?
It's probably better if she is in the crate with it covered. She knows the dogs are there but if they are distracting her she won't rest as well. So you might need to have the crate in a different room, away from the free roaming dogs. You can also use a white noise machine and puppy calming music to help her settle. If you need more crate training help, this new mini course would be great for you: courses.howtotrainadreamdog.com/crate-training-course
I already made the mistake of introducing my new Bernese (4 1/2 months old) to our Golden on day one. We have had the puppy for a week now. The golden is terrified of her and runs away from her when she is hyper. They sleep fine in the same room, share a water dish etc. But, when puppy wants to play, my golden runs away. We have baby gates up to separate them when the golden wants a break. She is 4 1/2 and has mild hip dysplasia and is a very gentle dog. Any suggestions to help her adjust to puppy and not be afraid of her?
It's never too late to take a few steps back and introduce them more slowly. It sounds like you'll want to limit their time together and make sure your new puppy is learning good manners. It's also best if they don't sleep in the same room (unless they are both in crates where they can't reach each other), and they should not share resources like water. Here's a good video that can help you. ruclips.net/video/Ryfg5O6fgAg/видео.html
We recommend using a crate for every puppy. Not only does the crate help with potty training but it's a critical tool to keep him/her safe when you are gone, it helps create a restful spot to prevent the puppy from becoming overtired or overstimulated, and it is a comfortable spot for him/her to seek out in stressful situations. The crate might need a little desensitization in order for your dog to love it but we can help with that!
This is so very helpful! I thought I was a disaster dog-mom. Thank you so much for these tips. Is it normal for my little Dachund (he is almost 9 weeks old) to be super clingy. 1.) I cannot even leave his sight for a moment to go to the loo and he howls and is utterly un-soothable (it is day TWO in his new home)? 2.) I also noticed the breeder has small children so he is used to being picked up constantly and expects me to do the same.
Yes, young puppies can be very clingy! But as part of training you can help him be more independent and confident. Now is the time to do that because his brain is the most ripe for learning new things!

i live alone and i got a new puppy, i dont kow what to do and if its correct for the dog, i´m trying my best, i have so much ansiety 2 days without sleeping too much
New puppies are a lot of work but you're in the right place for some great advice! It would be good to line up some friends or family for some extra help, or hire a dog walker to give you a break.
They should be in different crates and different pens. They'll need to spend the majority of their time apart so they don't develop unhealthy dependence on one another. Check out this video for some great tips on two puppies: ruclips.net/video/x3nefq0CeyU/видео.htmlsi=D7P-dXIDWLH6G_Y5
i’m getting a lab in a few weeks now, i’m unsure on if i should bring the crate up to my bedroom or sleep downstairs with him as my cat tends to live in my room. any advice please?
It's a hard question to answer because there are a lot of options, but check out this video for some good ideas on what other puppy parents have done, and what we recommend: ruclips.net/video/f9OaXIxdXJQ/видео.html
Excuse me, i noticed you dont recommend pee pads so the puppies dont get used to them etc. But what if i cant go outside at night and the puppy needs to go to potty?
In a situation like that we recommend a grassy pad that you put in a tray. If possible try to put it outside on a patio or balcony so the dog gets used to going potty outside.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog Perfect! Thank you so much for your feedback. If the puppy will sleep in my room and dont have access to go outside overnight what should i do?
It's fine if you want the puppy to sleep in a crate in your room but it's still important to get up with him when he whines so he can go outside to go potty. It won't be this way forever but in order to potty train him you have to get him outside for every potty break, including at night.
This varies a lot with the dog, their activity level and natural, unique temperament. You'll have to do some trial and error to figure it out. Adults dogs are much better at matching the energy level of their environment.
My Maltese puppy is just 9 weeks old, she can pee on pee pad, but she doesn't poop on pee pad. She always sniff and look for somewhere else, then at the end she poop on the floor or door carpet, just not pee pad. I tried to place her on pee pad when I knew she's going to poo, but then she will stop her action immediately. how can I train her to poop on pee pad too?
We recommend that you train your puppy to go potty outside! If you teach her to go on a pee pad she could have accidents inside for a lifetime. This free digital kit can teach you how to train her to go outside: www.howtotrainadreamdog.com
Vet has told me that my pup is still too young to go outside (8 weeks) because of possible parvovirus contamination. She is using pee pad. Will this cause her to be harder to outside train?

Yes! Schedules can help the puppy and human stay sane!

Should I carry her outside to potty at first or will that not teach her how to get there?
We do not recommend carrying her. Teach her to walk there with you, ideally on a leash.

My puppy lives outside and I'd love it if she pooped in a specific area and not everywhere in the yard do y'all have a video like that or ....
We do not ever recommend a puppy living outside fully.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog really! Why is that?
I wont be able to keep our current dog out of sight of new puppy.
