Welcome to the channel, ribbosaurus rex ! :)
No replies yet let me fix that
What are you doing Here😂
what up
Ribblet is going to be such a good friend for Bear
Yass he's so cute ❤❤❤
Ribosaurrus rex is crazy😂
"I'm walking my ribbosaurus rex so I cant come to work!"
Yes.
That's cute 🥺🥰
One of the best comments here fr
How about Ribeye?
That is awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣
7:41 I love how the first thing you taught him in the pool was where the stairs were. Most people think dogs are great swimmers and don’t have to worry, but it’s not uncommon for dogs to swim until exhausted because they don’t know how to get out of the pool. A+++ 🙌🏼
Its like a sim without a ladder
@@kaylaryals8227 I’m so mad they fixed that lol sometimes you want a sim to go and they just hop out now 😂
@@catherinecran9329 nooo we can’t have disney princess hunger game videos anymore
Aside from teaching a dog how to get out of the pool, I like to have a life jacket on my dogs whenever possible because that way if a dog starts to get tired while it's swimming I don't have a dog just sink. But then again, I also don't have newfies.
Being in vetmed, I think it’s beautiful when people, after going for a common name, take a HARD right turn for their next pet and suddenly pick something very unique. Rib! I love it. And no shame to Bear, that’s a classic!
They are also kind of in theme with each other because his fur kinda looks like a Rib and Bear obviously looks like a bear being as big as he is and the brown color. So one common, one not, and they still match!
He’s just a Short Rib for now🥺 so precious.
Love Short Rib!!! Soooo adorable. ❤
😂😂🥰🥰🥰
When he grows up he'll be a prime rib❤
Nah he gonna be a dino rib.@@gutsFunnyman
OMG, I love how Bear is at your heels the whole time you're carrying Rib. It's like he's saying, "What are you doing with my little brother??"
Bear really is the best protective older brother isn't he?
Can Bear be my big brother? He's the best!
Or he is jealous
“I was normal two Newfoundland’s ago”
You’re such a father and it’s wonderful
Foxes are naturally curious and friendly. I live in a small rural town and we used to have a few roam our streets at night. I can't imagine foxes ever posing a threat to any animal over 15 lbs. I don't know what happened to ours but I miss them.
Coyotes are a completely different matter. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
Animal behaviourist here (almost done with my PhD) and yes, you’re pretty much right. Foxes are also very clever too and aren’t going to get into unnecessary trouble. But coyotes on the other hand….
@@jamiegduboisyeah I live in the city, in a rougher part of town and coyotes still come out at night. They are pretty ballsy now, they aren't scared like they 'should be' it scares me. They will test you and push you. Some lady had one snap at her German Shephard before being scared off. Coyotes are like dogs on hard drugs.
Yeah, and the turkey vultures would never even try to pick up most animals, let alone a newfie.
I live in AZ and we have to deal with lots of coyotes, pumas/mountain lions/cougars (depending where in the country you live), and javelinas. The coyotes are the ones we have to be hyper vigilant with. In fact, two were killed by AZ fish and wildlife last week because they had attacked two different dogs. Sadly they found a few pups in their den near the golf course and they are now being cared for in animal sanctuary.
My only thought here is that you now need a pillow to match Rib because you already have one that matches Bear on that couch
Yeah, I was like, "That's a Bear pillow!" Lol 😆
I really didn't grasp how big this dang puppy was until Dr. Mike was bringing him out to the pool. Holy cow. 😅
😂😂😂😂
Basically the size of a baby cow 😂
My husband mentioned that.
This breed is from where I was born. I’m from Newfoundland Canada…now living in Ontario, Canada. These dogs are the best loyal breeds and are very protective yet gentle. Especially with children!
I did an exchange year in Newfoundland. And my first day there I went hiking with my host family. We met someone with a Newfoundland dog on the way and he was the most lovely and friendly dog I’ve ever met
After my Mom passed, I was in charge of her older boxer. who seemed lost and depressed. But she was getting up there in years. I decided to get a lab puppy (for me, primarily). The puppy perked mom's boxer up so much I couldn't believe it! The puppy soon belonged to her. It was an incredible improvement for the older boxer. She would often put the lab in her place when she got annoying but she was never mean, just assertive. It was fun to watch.
Your dogs are incredible! Bear and Rib are so lucky to have each other, and I know you're thrilled with this wonderful pair! Congratulations on your new family member! All best wishes!
I hope poor old Roxy is doing ok living with Mike’s dad. Remember her? Mike’s first dog that made him famous to begin with?
@@amyfu2047 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Roxy was always supposed to be his dad's dog. I remember he talked about getting her for his dad, I think it was after his mom passed away.
"They fight all the time"
When I got a new puppy, my older female was SO crotchety. She'd get up, snarl at her, push her down with her paw--but they're inseparable. Dogs communicate differently than us, and so long as blood isn't being drawn, they're totally fine together. A lot of people thing the 'dog boundary' barking and growling is scary but it's not.
There’s definitely some settling time where the older dog sets the boundaries with the younger one and takes time for the older one to realize “Oh, you’re not going away.”
Exactly. The effect is even more pronounced with bigger dogs or wolves. They can sound really scary, despite it being the equivalent to casual conversation among humans.
What kind of dog is this
I am going through that right now with Kaia. We adopted her three weeks ago and Hendrix and her definitely set boundaries with each other but are also inseparable and love to snuggle and take naps together. 💞
Why are they so majestic 🥹
*poops on the carpet * Also rib and bear are adorable
I’m sorry, but this makes it seem as if you are the one pooping on the carpet and I’m uncertain if that was the intention or not. 😂
Eh, I don’t really know
@@Squeegeeeeeeeeeeee You Ain't Wrong 😂
lol
Lmfao 🤣 @@Squeegeeeeeeeeeeee
That yawn Ribbie gave, melted my heart!!❤
Bear pillow, Rib blanket behind Dr. Mike. So cute
You don't need to worry about the vultures Dr. Mike. They are black vultures who look for food (deceased animals) by sight. They watch other animals to see if they have found food as well. We have a pair of vultures who saw our barn cat eating cat food and now come by once or twice a week to get some for themselves. They bring their hatchlings every summer and the bravest one will come up to our sliding glass door and peck on it to let us know they want lunch. But they've never been aggressive to the barn cat at all.
I hope your barn cat was eating cat FOOD. 😅
@SomeoneNone123
IK I was like wdym your cat was eating cat😭😭✋✋
@@Heyyy630 cats are known to eat dead human when its the only food available, do theyd probably eat a dead cat too 😅😂
Vultures got a bad reputation despite their intelligence and often times rather charming character
@@spiercephotography Same can be said for any animals. Dogs do it too. Tf with this only being associated with cats lol
He looks bigger than Bear when he was a pup, welcome to the family Ribwitch😍😍😍
Mc rib 😂😂
Ribberoni :)
Ribeye the nom nom nommer
Sir Ribbington
he might be older than bear was but I'm not sure
omg he's so fluffy I want to hug him so bad. 😩
The puppy in the pool, trying to swim is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Any dog that goes to Dr. Mike is extremely lucky. They get a nice home, exercise,they get properly trained, such a lucky little puppy to find you. 😊
Not to mention groomed n fed well!
This is the perfect thing to keep Bear younger and help keep his joints healthy with activity and his mind happy, Bears gonna have a blast teaching RIB how to be an Amazing Lil brothe
Congratulations! He’s beyond adorable!💗💗💗
Congratulations! I’m so happy you have a new pup. He’s gorgeous. Bear looks happy to have a little brother. ❤
one sign of non-aggressive play I always look out for is occasional sneezing. sneezing during play is generally a sign of no hard feelings and just having fun. if there’s ever a problem in play they’ll let each other know for sure
I found this to be such a precious trait in dogs when I learned this. My dog sneezes a lot when we're roughhousing.
I had a dog who would come up and sneeze to get my attention when she wanted to play. She was the best girl 💜 She was with us for 16 years, had send her home a little over a year ago 🥺
@@tondriasanders6306 sounds like you gave her a good life ❤
When my GSD and lab play there is so much sneezing you'd think they have allergies 😂
Mike has an amazing “father of two” vibe to him and it fits so well.❤
❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! Beautiful puppy!
6:27- Those are turkey vultures! They won't grab live prey, they're nature's vaccuum cleaners and go after road kill/things that are already dead (and one of my favorite birds, they're so cool) so dont' worry! they might be curious, but most of the time they're just soaring around. You probably have some good drafts/gliding winds by your house. Regular hawks, yes, be careful, but turkey vultures you don't have to worry about. What a little cutie, you're such a great dog dad. Welcome to the family Rib!
Just as a heads-up from a dog groomer, Rib will be prone to a condition called dilution alopecia due to the color of his coat. In my experience, dilute colored coats are also a lot higher maintenance. The fur tends to be finer and wooly, causing it to mat easy and not shed as well by itself.
Gray is a registerable color, but gray and white is not. The best thing to do in that situation is see what the stance of the breed club is, or if another kennel club (like UKC) allows it. If no breed or kennel club allows the color, then unfortunately the only way to obtain it is from unethical breeders (if you don't rescue). But like for example, AKC doesn't allow multicolored poodles for literally no reason, but the entire poodle community and every other kennel club is fine with them (besides merle), so you can find many responsibly bred multicolored poodles.
I had the same thought, I hope that Rib will not develop alopecia like so many do. Mike brushes Bear thoroughly and frequently, so I don't see matting becoming an issue, I think he'll keep the undercoat brushed out pretty well.
I do not agree that it's only unethical breeders who are breeding the dilute colors (not that there aren't way too many of those). Genetic testing helps keep such recessive genes from presenting and being passed along. I'd rather see a puppy's genetic lineage than his "best in show" lineage, which is all I see the AKC as.
Speaking as a former groomer, vet tech and, sadly, former owner of a few extremely inbred dogs who were bred to "standard" and turned out to have massive issues. Club standards aren't the end all, as you point out with poodles. Club standards allowed, for example, cockers to be so inbred it's difficult to find a breeding pair that isn't too closely related.
i have no clue what you guys are saying but its about dogs so um yeah i liked
I hate poodles, they think they’re better than me, and I hate that their right
The pup ain’t even gray and white, it’s more brown than it is gray
@@Christinakloehn-ip3tu That made me laugh, thank you 😆
Breeding for colors that aren't normal for the breed can introduce health problems. Rib's color is not a normal Newfie color. Breeding that color into the line means introducing a gene mutation. That gene doesn't only change the colors, but can change other things too.
Breeding two parents who have the double dilute gene (aka dd, as opposed to the dark colored gene known as DD) can cause a condition where the pups get patchy bald spots, itchy, rashy skin. The fur on the puppy can look normal until they reach puberty (or around that time) and then something happens where the coat just goes wonky.
Sadly, it's very common for puppies with dilute color genes that aren't normal for the breed to get this condition. As above said, it's called Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). It's not fully understood and it doesn't always affect the pups. But it's better to avoid breeding two dd dogs with each other.
This is a pretty surface level explanation, there's way more that goes into color genes than I've outlined here. I know it's long, but it's actually the fewest words I could use to describe what we are discussing. I hope it helps explain. It's actually VERY interesting, if you want to learn more about it!
congratulations doc
Very well done on your training they can be very stubborn to train but definitely natural swimmers ❤❤
Welcome, little Riblet! He's so cute. 🖤
One of my dogs passed unexpectedly this week so seeing a cute little puppy helps ease the sadness a bit. Give themboth a big cuddle and kiss from me!
I am so sorry i hope you will feel less sad soon
I’m sorry loosing a pet is ALWAYS HARD
Hope you're doing alright. Some don't understand these puppies grow to be our closest family and best friends. They give us what is likely the most unconditional love that exists.
So sorry for your loss god bless you 🙏🙏🤲🤲💚🧡✨🙌
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Looks like a turkey vulture. Those guys are the clean up crew. They won't harm Rib. He's a cutie!
They're probably waiting to see if Rib kills anything and leaves it for them to snack on
They will definitely be disappointed
Clean
Just make sure Rib's not already dead before you walk him!
@@michmill7007 I feel like this is just good advice in general, vulture or no.
So wonderful! Thanks for sharing
Congrats! Dr.Mike! Rib is precious and I do think Rib brings out the pup in Bear 🤗
If this is his size as a puppy, baby boi is gonna be irl Clifford
Aw they don't fight, they are playing. It sounds rough but it's just how they are communicating and Bear teaching the pup propper ABI. He looks adorable!
What's ABI?
@@BombshElle_7ABI is the learning curve for Ribbers to not fully clamp down on a bite ABI is learning to nibble or softly bite when rough housing and bear is teaching that by not fully biting him and probably tackling him when ribbers does go for a full bite
I have a westie and a miniature dachshund, and you’d expect blood dripping and fur flying when they play. They sound so fierce, but mostly it’s just drool. They are besties.
yeah I have a pack of three dogs and when they all play it looks like a vicious snarly dance
@BombshElle_7 Appropriate Bite Index, like Yung said, it's how puppies learn how hard is OK to Bite and use their mouth for things and is something best learned from other dogs/litter mates when playing. Our girl is very vocal when playing, lots of snorting and snarling noises. But she does a lot of play bows and tail wags with other dogs so while it sounds mean, if both dogs are initiating and reciprocating with play bows then they both know and trust one another that they won't take it to far or to rough.
Oh. My . GOD !!. Rib is so cute and sweet ! Especially when he did his cute little yawn at 2:08!, and Bear is being such a good big brother ! 🥺😊. It literally melted my heart when Bear chased away that fox to protect Rib ! , and he keeps watch of Rib to protect him from the birds 🦅 and trying to rescue him when he was swimming !, he’s such a good boy!. Dr Mike is such a good Dog Dad ! ❤
They’re so cute and fluffy. I’m so happy with how gentle you are with them and how you literally and figuratively let him dip his toes into the pool ❤
I LOVE HOW BEAR IS MAKING SURE RIB IS SAFE! ADORABLE!
❤❤
Bear protecting Ribosaurus Rex from all the potential predators is best big brother energy ❤
I cannot bear how cute they are. You are the perfect papa to them.
I also have a Newfoundland pup currently so loving this content! Just took him for his first official swimming lesson. So excited for Rib videos!
You really hit the nail on the head when you said "They don't really fight...they just play battle all the time" that's a great way for puppies to socialize with a non-reactive dog that's in their household/pack (or as my pup is currently learning- don't mess with the cats or try to play with the cats because you will be scratched on the nose, they had her trained in about 5 minutes 🤣) Welcome Rib!!!
Yes, cats are very efficient dog trainers. Our newf also learned very quickly to respect the cat. He wouldn't even try to chase her away when she was lying on his bed. He gently tried to fold himself on the opposite corner of the pillow.
He’s such a ham! Floofy little floofster. It’s crazy how big Rib is as a puppy, yet when he’s next to Bear, he looks like a peanut! ❤️
I am so happy you have the space and the pool for these adorable babies!
how sweet! good papa!
Aw, they're just playing, not fighting. Bear is teaching the pup the proper ABI, so although it appears harsh, that is how they are communicating. He has such a sweet appearance!
Cuteness overload! Bear looks like he's enjoying his new newfie brother.
I love the Rib! he’s so cute and u are gonna take such get care of him!😊
He is so precious 🥹❤️
He's absolutely adorable, congratulations. For "paw", hold the treat in a closed fist, and when he paws at it, give him the treat. Then start saying "paw" with the same method, eventually only give him the treat when he keeps his paw on your hand for longer and go from there.
yeah i did it too late and taught me dog leave it so i do that and he wont paw he looks away lmao collies are the funniest
That's your best bet on teaching them to handshake/paw. i taught mine by picking up their paw then giving a treat and my dumbest dog understood it in a day now thats all he does, gives me his paw for a treat 😂
I mean, it worked with my dog, who would jump when I did the 'sit' method (move the treat over their head to make them look up and naturally sit)
u can teach them in many different ways. he has already raised bear, i think he knows how to raise a new puppy of the same breed hah
I just grabbed my dogs paw and would say paw until he got it it took about half an hour in two days, and he does it pawlessly
I’m ridiculously happy for Bear to have a buddy. I love the idea of a dog and live vicariously through Dr.Mike! Beautiful family!
SO CUTE😍 can't wait to see more of this lil guy and Bear❤
Dog play is so special and unique! It’s important to monitor of course for safety but letting the older dog guide and help the lil guy learn manners and how to ease off when needed or when something hurts and to knock it off! They are already off to an amazing start and will be lifelong buddies
I trained my guy to give paw to the command “hello” instead of paw and it never fails to make me laugh
Hey Dr. Mike! Chiming in on the wildlife (esp the raptors; I've been working with them for several years) as an expert- the foxes won't be much of a problem for you. They're just curious, but they would never attack anything that much larger than them unless they were a) cornered or b) sick/injured. The biggest risk to little Ribbie would be through rabies via a bite, or from the spread of parvo/distemper/roundworms/mites/etc. As long as he's vaccinated, he should be relatively safe! Coyotes, on the other hand, can be a little unpredictable in certain situations and I'm not familiar enough with the exact risk in your neck of the woods. I think what you're doing re: night walks with Bear is a great idea, even if the risk is still incredibly low.
As for the raptors, you've got absolutely NOTHING to worry about. I know they look big with that 6ft wingspan, but the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) in your clip is only about 3-4 pounds and only eats carrion. There's a common misconception that circling vultures overhead means they're waiting for something to die/hunting for prey/etc. Vultures are basically like giant balloons that eat dead stuff- they try to expend as little energy as possible by relying on thermals of warm air, which provides effortless lift if they can enter the thermal from the correct angle. Turkey vultures hold their wings in that iconic "V" shape to take advantage of both thermal lift and also less pronounced orographic lift (which is just a fancy way of saying "air moving over terrain that goes upward, like a hill or mountain"). Your house on top of that hill is likely just a really good spot for them to get some lift to find food elsewhere. Perhaps there is even a roost nearby, which is an area where vultures congregate to sleep for the night and depart early morning for foraging.
Most importantly: They wouldn't dream of bothering Rib. They're much too skittish and long-lived to risk dying earlier than necessary from an encounter that wouldn't even provide the benefit of food. :) Even a large female Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) couldn't carry that little goober off the ground (females are usually larger than males in most raptors). A bald eagle at it's largest only gets up to about 10-14 pounds. A small dog or a cat would absolutely be capable of being preyed upon in the right circumstance (and have been known to do so, much to the dismay of animal lovers who frequent live camera streams from their nests- alas, the circle of life!). As you said, though, nothing the size of a Newfie is at risk!
I'm always happy to answer wildlife questions, especially as it pertains to wildlife in the northeast (PA/NJ/NY). Let me know if I can put any other worries at ease! And congrats on the sweet little edition to your family! With his progress in the pool, you'll be calling him little Ribbit in no time! 🐸 Also if you're interested in some cool, peer-reviewed sources on what I shared, I have them, but I know most people will not care lol.
Thank you for letting him know! I left a similar comment but hoping to signal boost so that he knows not to worry
+
@@victoriadaly998 Thank you! And I completely agree- I hope he can feel a little more content and less anxious knowing he's got very little to worry about, but those "new baby jitters" are understandably strong, no matter how many editions you've brought to the family! I'm a complete over-worrier about the people and animals I love, so I get it. Hopefully knowledge is power, here! 🖤
Hopefully he sees this comment! Very educational :)
Yep, I was going to say the same thing about foxes. They're really small -- about the size of a cat -- and very timid. The three who visit our backyard get routinely scared off by the opossums. Even a puppy-sized Newfie would be far more than they'd try to take on!

“Bear was actually super calm, super welcoming…”
Meanwhile Bear is desperately trying to escape behind Dr. Mike.
He probably meant overall. Most dogs at first are like yeah no what is this
🤣🤣
I was thinking the same! Lol!
@@jparrish6360 "What is this child? Did I *ask* you for a child, father? No, I did not, take it away from -- oh, actually, it's kind of cute and sweet. I suppose it can stay...for now..."
Absolutely adorable! 😍
Baby Back Rib! He's adorable. Welcome to the family! ❤
It warms my heart knowing your dedicating time to the puppy. they needs tons of love, affection and training when they're young and I feel like some people don't know that/care
Ikr it sooo irks me when someone gets a puppy and then keeps it at home and won't expose it to as many things as possible, and I may offer to socialize them with my dogs and they get afraid when they wrestle or anything energy draining and think they have to protect the puppy from everything.
One of my friends dogs is in this situation and now she keeps complaining about constant barking+destruction because the dog has major lack of stimulation and thus anxiety in many forms. The person who gave her the dog either was cruel or clueless, because the woman has cancer and doesn't go outside very much ... they gave her an Australian cattle dog.
I just have to say, i love Dr. Mikes love of dogs, and the fact he's gotten bear a friend is amazing because they can play when he's away for work. Bringing my trust in doctors back Dr. Mike. Love from Australia
My kids loved this episode. Thanks, Bear, Rib, and Dr. Mike
These dogs are so majestic. What a beautiful color Rib is. So happy to follow these beauties.😘🌹
The squeal I made seeing Rib. That baby back is going to make everyone happy. ❤
"Rib, that's a plant." Like father like son.
He's absolutely adorable 😍💕! He even barked at his own reflection in the mirror, which was the cutest thing ever 😍
awwh, newfie dogs are such sweethearts.
Love this video, and this man on how much he loves these dogs. You can tell the respect he has for them, and gentle he is with training Rex slowly, like in the pool. Not just throwing him in. Will watch more as Rex grows and love his brother as well.
For future reference, they do make giant swiffer sized lint rollers that are on a long handle, which make it a lot easier to pick up fur from the floor.
Editing to add: It's called the Evercare Pet Mega Roller for anyone who is interested.
What is the name of that tool?

What a cute puppy. Can’t wait to see more vids with big bro and Ribber. Love his eye colours
Double the cute, double the floof! What an adorable little Newf! Welcome to the family, Rib!
There’s just something unbeatable about seeing a Newf happily swimming and loving life 🥰🥰 I grew up with a Newfoundland dog-a big, black bear-of a boy named Murphy-and over 20 years since he passed, I still remember him and love him to this day ❤ congrats on the new and adorable addition to your family!
Congratulations!!
So much love in this video. 🤍 I’m glad you got Bear a little brother for life. You’re such a great dog dad. Hugs!
So adorable!❤❤❤
Congratulations! I agree about Rib keeping Bear young. My senior pup lived a few more years then expected after bringing home a rescue pup. They were awesome together and she learned well plus we get to see him in her now. Best pet decision I ever made.
1:48 "Look Dad, I'm a mop!"
Rib is adorable
Hello Ribb You Are So Cute. So Glad You Have Settled In Your New Home. Glad You Have A Big Brother Like Bear ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
How adorable!❤
you are basically a real father at this point
I smiled through this entire video. Thanks for sharing such a happy experience with your viewers.
Rib is so precious!!! What an adorable family you’ve got.
I have a Newfie as well (Teddy) and I’d love to know how you originally picked the breed and narrowed down to Newfies so I can share more educated reasons (other than big, sweet, swimmers) for getting a Newf with my friends and family!
Congrats on your new puppy.
8:07 Bear trying to rescue his baby brother, so cuuuuute ❤
4:20 aww his little kicky legs are adorableeeee
Doc Mike Congratulations on the new puppy 🐶 ❤
AWWWW!!! He’s adorable. Rib is a perfect name for the (not so) little fella ❤
I’m calling his Ribosome, and none of you can stop me
😂RIbOsOMe😂
HELLA
Stop it
How about Baby back Rib?
hey mike!!! teaching him paw can be done by you holding the treat in your hand in front of rib in a fist until he tries to reach for it with his paw to get at it. you can reward with a yes in the beginning even the slightest try (weight shift or a slight lift of a paw). you’d be surprised how smart pups can learn paw that way!! then once you have one paw done you can tap the other foot to make him think about that.
UGH SO CUTE!!! Bear is the perfect big brother! Welcome RIB
They are beautiful ❤️❤️
Some things that new puppy owners tend to forget to do during training is to muzzle train and get them used to all sorts of different stimuli, that way they won't be scared of it in the future. Bring him to the vet for a 'fun visit' where the staff just play with and feed him treats so its not a scary place to go all the time. have him wear a harness or a cone for a few hours to get used to (so he doesn't rip it off when he gets neutered) and give lots of treats and chew toys so it's a positive experience. Give him a 'physical exam' often so that when the vet tries to pick up his paws and press on his belly or pick up his tail, he won't be irritated or wary. have strangers (your friends) interact with him in weird ways and play thunderstorm noises or vacuum. Just introduce him to anything at all that he'll need to be introduced to in the future so he learns that it's all safe. Don't have him interact with other dogs just yet because he might not be fully vaccinated, but just. have him learn that no matter what, he's safe with you and safe with people.
LOVE this!!!
My cousin, when she got her new service dog as a puppy, played with her feet and her mouth a lot, so now she doesn't mind getting her nails trimmed and her teeth brushed. Unfortunately, a month after getting her, lockdown hit, so she had to pause training. We also couldn't expose her to as many people as we would have liked in the beginning, but it did all work out.
My favorite kind of people are those with dog fur on their clothes and garden dirt under their nails. We clean up well when need be, but spend most days surrounded by love. So happy for your growing family. Dogs are just the best.
I NEED to see the bath routines!!
I cant stop rewatching this 😊
Wonderful news. SO much energy in the household. Brilliant
