Great video! 😄
I don't own a dog but I enjoyed this very good, comprehensive video!😄
This tip has helped me build a bond with my puppy ❤
Thank you for this series! I’d love to see more information about how you manage your 8 dog household and their interactions. Also how new dogs are introduced!
That’s a great idea - I will definitely cover those topics soon.
This information is so helpful!
I love your videos and especially the dog you are holding!
🙌🙌🙌
I found this video to be extremely informative and helpful!
Thank you, enjoyed the video. I think the audio still needs some tweak (quality is not 100% and sometimes gets louder or quieter). But I love the demo clips inbetween and the texts popping up.
Thank you for watching and for the encouragement! I'm sure we'll learn a lot to improve things like audio as we make more videos.
This is such valuable information! Fantastic video!
