Happy Trainng!
My 2-yr old Zoë & I went through your Puppy Essentials and it was a game changer. Strangers and even my husband are always impressed with her skills. The content of that instruction and your videos are genius, especially your advice on being aware and maintaining consistency. Thanks for helping me be a better dog owner and sharing your knowledge on TH-cam.
So happy to hear that! Our goal is to empower you with all of the skills and knowledge you'll need. The added bonus is showing off to strangers (and partners) ;) Happy Training!
I have 8 kids-they all had their own colors, too-Cups, towels, school supplies that way we could instantly identify who left their stuff out! 😉
Sooo fun to watch your videos. Thank you !!!
Started watching this channel a few weeks ago, since we are getting a new puppy whippet. So many great tips and Five Alive is just the cutest little puppy. I hope we will be ass successful as you guys
Get my puppy tomorrow 😍 so excited! Thank you for all your videos!
He's gotten so big! I pick up my puppy in a week and these videos are my lifesaver!
VERY exciting, AlaskanPhoenix! Enjoy the journey, and Happy Training!
I love this series!! You do such a good job training and watching ur puppy grow and get better and better at listening and learning is sooo cute😍😍 the only comments I would make for the first month getting a puppy is exposure and training in the outside world as well! Maybe not taking them on long walks but at least going out in the front yard or to a park that’s not super busy and making a point to feed ur dog and keep them feeling safe and comfortable outside especially when people or other dogs are walking by is very important! You do want your puppy to be familiar with the outside world that way they’re not afraid or anxious and still being able to give you their attention while outside with different noises and smells distracting them!
Thank u. We love your show - we r first time puppy owners and our family/ pup are having so much success and joy thanks to u x ❤
We are so glad for your suggestions. House line literally saved us. We just brought back a new puppy and we are socializing it with our cats. House line helps us so much so that we can correctly facilitate the interaction.
I love this series, we just adopted a 3 month lab mix and I grew up in the generation of beat your dog into obedience. I never liked that approach bc my childhood dog was scared of my dad. We’ve been using some of these training methods and it’s been 3 days and she’s already making great progress, she understands the commands to sit, stay, leave it, on me, down as well as leash obedience on walks. We only train for 30 min at a time then she gets to play with her toys. She’s only had 1 accident in the house and it was because I miss interpreted the signs.
Thanks for teaching an ol gal new training tips for the Havanese puppy we’ll be getting soon. I’ve had the pleasure of having a dog around my whole life, but you’re never too old to learn better techniques to train and enjoy a fur baby. You’re awesome!
thank you so much for your such a huge effort to help us how to do it right with our lovely dogs! I love this series! I am sendings hugs to you! :)
i started watching your series before i brought home my 8 week old sheltie.it's been 2 weeks now and we have her coming when we name is called,she walks beside me and is almost leash trained, but we are still working on house training,but she is getting better every day.i miss her signals sometimes and she has the occasional accident.she is one of the best dogs i've had when it comes to training and she's only 10 weeks old.
I have a new puppy, Rosie, she just goes wild at food time. I saw one of your videos that covered that, tried it and it worked! I’m going to do that every day. She showed a big difference even the first time. I have been holding the bowl up out of reach and waiting for her to be calm. That wasn’t working. I love all your tips. I’m on oxygen and have to walk with a cart and I was getting so upset and starting to yell at Rosie I knew it was time to get help. I’m so thankful for TH-cam and all the great people out there sharing their knowledge with the world! THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely LOVE your videos, they have been so very helpful!
Thanks Christine! So glad you're enjoying our videos,
Happy Training!
Thank you 🙏🏻 so very much for sharing! I can’t tell you how much this series is helping me. The biggest thing that I’ve learned 🤓 from you is that my puppies training is really all about my training. The more that I learn & teach to my Charlie, & the more consistent that I am, the better he learns. It really is my training, how well I listen & learn, & how well I can then try to educate my dog. Thanks 🙏🏻 again.
That's an important lesson to learn, Ann! Thanks for watching!
Chewing is a real problem. We took out some bedding and got an “chew proof” pad for our 6 month old puppy. Live and learn.
I've really been enjoying your series with 5alive as his age in the series and our new golden are about the same. Concerning house training, we've had great luck using a bell set at the door. Even at 9 weeks we could tell the difference. She would very subtly nose the bell if she had to pee and hang and swing from it if she had to poop :-) , seriously! Not a poop in the house since day 1 and just a few pee accidents when it was our fault for not paying attention. No accidents since 10 wks or so.
Also have watched all your puppy biting videos with some success. She's a very high energy field bred dog with a high prey drive (so hands are prey). We're really working on this :-) Thanks!
I am absolutely loving this series and watching the videos over and over. I'm curious, though, how many of these strategies are advisable when adopting an older dog, either an older puppy of 3-4 months, or an adult dog of a year or two of age?
THIS is such a good question, mediocrepoetry! YES, you can start all of these foundational skills with a dog of any age. This is precisely how we begin with any rehomed/rescue dogs as well. There are always adjustments made for the dog's specific needs, but this kind of goal setting remains the same. ALL of our puppy training videos apply to adult dogs. They are simply the foundation on which we'll start building the skills. Happy Training!
@@McCannDogs Perfect, thank you!
Love your videos. So helpful! Any chance you could talk about overcoming car sickness in puppies. I want to take my new golden retriever out with me on errands and visits but he drools like mad and ultimately vomits. So it's not too much fun and I've stopped taking him in the car because I don't want him to permanently associate travelling in the car with feeling terrible. Any suggestions or a future video possible?
LOVE your videos
House training has been hard for us since we are in an apartment
But my 9 week boy has mostly been used to relieving himself on the grass patch we have for him.... any tips would be very helpful
Vet told us to not take him out in the public where other dogs have pooped till his shots are done.
We have had our puppy for two weeks; the things I thought would be hard ( crate and potty training ) have so far been really easy.
Our problem is that she refuses her food but is obsessed with human food 🙈
No health issues, just zero interest in her food.
Very good, keep it up We would love to add your music on our music blog!
Saw the disengagement for a potty break :). My dog wasn't hard at all to potty train and she's my first dog ever.
Such a clever pup! My spaniel puppy just wants to do his own thing 😂
I was able to catch both 💩 accidents in time because I could see her posture changes, yay!
This was fun and very helpful. Im still struggling with instant pees in house but she's only been home 2 weeks. I do take her out every hour and watch her.
Me too! If it helps you feel any better I did some research after watching this video and found that my breed of puppy will not have complete bladder/bowel control til about 6mths. So having her fully potty trained at 4mths old just isn’t attainable! I take her out every hour (probably more) and she rings a bell to go but sometimes she will drop mid play session and just let it out! Lol even though she went out before our play started! So don’t be too hard on yourself if your puppy isn’t fully potty trained til 6mths! Or better yet, look up your breed (if possible) and see what age is biologically appropriate to be fully house trained! Til then you can only try your bestb
I just got a 6 month old yorkie and I’m struggling some bad habits she learned prior to my adopting her. Barking and going potty in the crate, I can’t get the life skills video to play but I’ll keep trying
Love the vid big fan from Thailand 🇹🇭 , I have a question not really related to the video. I have a swimmer puppy just his back legs do you have any tips? (he’s 8 weeks old) & how long till he can walk normally again🥲🥲
Hello. Thank you so much for the video. It is so helpful. Question: at what age do puppy go out to potty less than 7-8 times? Right now, I take mine out every 2 hours and it is exhausting.
Where does he sleep at night? In the kitchen or do you move the kennel during the day? We have two puppies and keep their kennel in our room, is this correct?
What kind of treats do you use?
I'm in love with this dog. What kind of breed is this?
How do I train with food as a reward if the meals are not dry -> canned food? Thanks so much in advance for any tip :)
we always had a chewing increase a month or two after we took them home.
Good video!
I just want to say you look so much like AngelRose of Inkmaster minus the tattoos
You do make it look so easy. We have a 12 week old Pyranees/Border Collie. He's been with us 4 weeks. I've been following some of the advice you gave on specifically, biting. Nothing we do helps. He seems to bite my 16 yr old son most. Can you please help? Is there a trick you have that can calm his biting?
What is five chewing on ? I’m getting a puppy for the first time in 45 years so I have been watching your videos before bringing hr home this Friday February 17, 2023
I don't know if you still reply to comments on an older video, but I am wondering if you would recommend, especially if you don't have any other dogs at home, to visit a dog school, just so the puppy can learn how to act arround other puppies/dogs? Or what's the best way to get your pupppy used to other dogs and socialize it without owning other dogs yourself.
dang, we're at the 3 week mark with our puppy and this video made me feel like we're really behind 😭
We’ve had our puppy home for 3weeks, she is now 13wks and although she will always ring the bell to go out for poops, she won’t for pees! She really has no tell, she will just drop in the middle of playing to pee. Most of the time it’s right next to the door which is frustrating because I’m cleaning it properly so she clearly knows to go to the door but she doesn’t ring her bell! I am still taking her out every hour and it’s starting to get frustrating! I never scold her but if I see her drop to pee I run and take her straight outside. Usually it’s too late! Am I doing something wrong or is it normal for a 13wk old to not have complete bladder control yet? Everything else she has mastered beautifully!
Could you help me, my puppy ready for pickup in 3 weeks and I know they do their buissiness inside. So it took me 2-3 months last time for him to become potty trained outside. Any advice on speeding it up? thanks!
What roughly would the dimensions of a plastic crate need to be for a vizsla puppy please? Thank you
I’m having issues with my lab puppy being too excited about his food. When he sees me getting it he starts barking and jumping and it’s very hard to get him to focus and relax. I can’t hold the line and the bowl at the same time lol!
I have a german shepherd (almost 4 months) and I’ve been following all your videos but it seems that they work only when I’m training him, after that he just goes crazy and is so difficult to handle, I think is just his breed, I had an schnauzer before and he was soooo much easy. I’ll like you to provide some guidance on this type of breeds. Please!
Having our puppy in two weeks and have been watching your channel to try and be a little bit prepared I want to get a plastic crate to use temporarily to help with potty training she is a mini schnauzer but everyone tells me to buy a bigger crate as she will pee and poo no matter what cage I get I am now confused any advice
Hi! I got a puppy husky a few days ago and have been taking to many notes and practicing all your training tips. Do you have any suggestions for walking on leash correctly?
Hi there, Cynthia! I have just the video for you: th-cam.com/video/BCBA0nJXYOc/w-d-xo.html

Is it too late for my 5-month-old French Bulldog puppy to be socialized? I brought him home when he is 4 months old. I have been bringing him to PetSmart, Winners and other outdoor places daily to get him socialized.
How do I get a treat motivated mini Aussie doodle puppy to play with toys. Our new little guy is 9 weeks old and he won’t play or chase a toy even when we make it fun. He only wants treats or food.
My lab puppy has got everything down except the crate. If he’s really exhausted he’ll go to sleep inside it (which is in our room, so he sleeps with us and takes naps alone in the bedroom during the day), but otherwise we’re dealing with some pretty bad separation anxiety at times. Slowly getting a little bit better, but sometimes I wonder if he’ll ever truly get over his fear of being left alone 100% as he gets older.
It's a process, TinyPandaRed. Working on some of the crate exercises at random times throughout the day is a great way to speed that up. Here's a video that will help: th-cam.com/play/PL7BBgLulhermQJTejoBOCqhdwJOiNtk4_.html
Thanks for watching!
We have just rescued a dog and she is not very well trained. What should we do?
So i got my puppy in january and ive tried to be very vigilant over him but sometimes i look away briefly and hes had an accident i try to stop him in the midst snd immediatly pick him up and put him outside to let him finish.
Its kind of fustrating because one time i was very vigilant and he gave no signal of having to go and literally peed right in front of me to which i gave a loud no spooking him and taking him out asap. Hes had like 3 accidents that i have spotted and or found. I dont know how to prevent it hes only out when i am watching him and when hes not hes in his crate. He doesnt go in his crate unless hes had diarriah and cant help it. I take him out often and he does it outside i even stay longer out to make sure he doesnt have to go. When is he going to get it that pottying inside is not acceptable?? My other dog got pretty quickly but then again i got her at 6 to 7 months. Shes now 3yrs. My puppy now is 4 or 5 months...he was born november or last year.
What kind of bone is that that Five is chewing on, please?
I can’t find the puppy essentials
Thank you for this channel! We are getting a new puppy and this channel has been so helpful and informative. One question I wonder if you have covered: we are getting a toy breed and it has been used to puppy pads. Is it bad to keep those down while potty training? Or should we just not use them at all? Thanks again for all the great info!
Love your videos - been following them with our new border collie pup. He’s now 11 weeks.
The one thing we can’t get to grips with is the house line and his chewing of it. We redirect every time but it’s relentless - he obsesses over chewing it and will take a chew toy but then within seconds go back to the house line. This happens time and time again and it’s exhausting.
Just don’t know how to break this cycle of behaviour - any additional tips on house line chewing?
Thanks so much!!!!
I had a similar issue with my puppy chewing on his bed despite giving him appropariate alternatives with praise and treats. Eventually, I ended up giving my verbal correction, picking up the bed and leaving the room for 30s. I made sure he was calm before I came back in and then very calmly put the bed back down. Praise for good choices, rinse and repeat. Maybe some version of this could work for you?
@@harleetripp1606 thank you - will have a think how we can adapt this method. Thing is his line is attached to him, so leaving the room with it isn’t an option but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually
Any tips for when you work an overnight shift (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) and still need room/time for sleep?
Is there a playlist for the puppy training series so that i can watch it in order?

Hello I am getting a new puppy and Thank you for the videos.. Going to help us training her. You recommend not introducing new puppy to your other dogs. I have little dogs that run free in home. So how should I handle that when the puppy will see my other dogs? Just the layout of home. Make it hard to completely separate them.
This and other of your videos your puppy is chewing a stick. What kind is it? I have an 11 week golden who loves to chew!! I’d like something safe for her - supervised of course.
my puppy is grabbing the home line to walk next to me. Is she trying to take control from me? I am not finding a substitute for the home line. What should I do?
Hi. I have a 7 week old puppy. I found her on the street when she was only a few days old. She go outside, but we also have accidents. Is she too young? Normally she still has another month until he would be a puppy to take home. Is it normal to do it more often? If she drinks water, she pees 4 times in an hour.
My Mini Aussie is 8 months old with no previous training. He sleeps well in his crate for 8hrs with no potty mistakes. There are too many distractions in the house, 3 cats. I’m trying to teach him his name (Nemo) but he isn’t food motivated or toy. What can I do
What kind of puppy
Do have any video or tips for introducing a new puppy to older dogs in the family? We have a large dog and it’s been a little stressful trying to get them comfortable around each other. We don’t want the puppy to get hurt.

How do I stop my shi tzu Maltese not getting upset being left in car for a short time. She wee and poo and barks. Thanks
If we need to be away for work on weekdays, should we train our puppy to pee inside the house? Can puppies be trained to pee both outside and inside the house?
We've had our Yorkie mix puppy for about a week and a half now. We're not having very many problems with house training and she's ok being in her crate during the day without much fuss (as long as she's under my desk while I work from home 😬), but at night, she can't stand being in the crate by herself. She'll cry for hours and keep us up. However, she'll sleep all night (except for a midnight bathroom break) if she's with us on the bed. Is this going to be a bad thing in the future?
ours is the same apart from when also leaving the room during the day she will whine and bark, did yours improve over time?
I started giving mu puppy his meal while teaching him tricks and now he seems unable to eat his food without engaging with me. I'm scared we're stuck in this, it's like I have to force him to eat (I give him the right ration for his age and weight) otherwise he just goes on another activity, and will skip a meal. This isn't good for his weight (he was underweight and not fed well when I got him). He is 11 weeks old and I've had him for 10 days. Anyone has advice ?
I’m so overwhelmed after seeing this. Puppy comes in 2 weeks. Is there a roadmap?
Congratulations! This will help: th-cam.com/video/hpb7-dbjVSU/w-d-xo.html

My dog like one thing at a time. He is not lessening to me.
Is it realistic to pretty much have a fully house trained puppy after a month? I’ve heard some say it can take 6 months. That seems crazy to me. Also what do you think of the door bells?
My Lab puppy was fully house trained after a month. We first started out making sure we took him out every 1-2 hours, then working up to 3-4 as he got older, all the while making sure as he got used to the idea of “outside” meaning time to potty. At 12 weeks, we pretty much just leave the door open to our yard for him to go to the bathroom, and even if the door is closed he’ll wait patiently for us to let him out. Every dog is different, but it takes consistency. Have faith in yourself!
@@Nocomment552 i am struggling with my puppy he still struggles learning that outside is potty time. He goes outside but when sometimes he will have an accident right in front of me...i dont understand what i am doing wrong. He doesnt pee in his crate and goes outside when i take him...its getting fustrating he is 4 months about to be 5.
Our puppy is 13wks old (we’ve had her 3weeks) and she goes out every hour, will ring the bell to poop, but still drops to pee randomly on a whim! It’s very frustrating! I love our bell because sometimes she does have to go right after we got back inside and if we didn’t have the bell I wouldn’t know she’s at the door ready to go! I’m thinking the accidents have to do with bladder control. I’m not convinced she has complete bladder control yet simply because she doesn’t always give me signs she has to pee. So maybe it has to do with size and age? Make sure you’re cleaning with the enzymatic cleaner as well! Otherwise they will always pee inside!
Most people don’t. I’d like to see them do a training video like this with a chihuahua! Note that they are working with larger working breeds/people pleasing dogs, they are overall more trainable.
Would you like to raise a guide dog, and make a new series? I would like to raise one later, but not sure if I can make it successful. Most rules are the same, but guide dogs can not eat human food, and not play ball games to make them too exited.
Just brought home a 5lb puppy. She is so little, all the treats even small ones are hard to use as she has to stop and spend time eating them. Also she doesnt love her kibble (and even the small breed puppy kibble takes effort for her to eat). I am not sure how to lure and train without easy to eat treats! IDK what to do
I cut up the treats but my puppy loves chicken or I chopped up hot dogs really small
21 days until I pick up my little girl Nova:)
That's exciting, Derek! Congratulations, and Happy Training!
My dog is 10 months, and he is not listening to me.
He is a Cavoodle who runs around the house, runs outside the house on the road. He almost got hit by a car once!! We don’t know what to do, the only thing he does is hold his bladder
My dad's coworker moved to a flat with her dog. She wants to give dog to azil because neighbours complain about barking. The dog is also very not calm. She used to be in a big cage but she was free to ofc. Well now the dog (she) was put in her cage as it was her safe place and old flat and she broke it in 2 days. Please help me help her to not be put in azil.
Hi there! Here are some crate training tips to help with getting comfortable: th-cam.com/video/wxJXJes0_pM/w-d-xo.html
Happy Training
What an awful name. Love the video btw 😁👍🏻
What is your puppy chewing on? What are the safe and healthy recommendations for chewing?
I second this question!!
I'm not sure, but to me it looks like "dried baby cow bladder" - sorry, I just know the german name for it, but if you go to a site of an online shop you can probably find the item. Seems to be a nice and easy snack especially for puppyteeth, trains chewing without it being to stressful for the growing bones and teeth
Edit: my puppy is getting born in around 15 days and i definetly added it to my basket for the first fooditems order^^
At another point it seems to be a "hard cheese stick".
Another recommendation would be "coffee wood" - needs more supervision, but even if ingested the wood is soft and wont hurt the gums. As far as I researched these 3 options are the best for puppies (that can also be eaten, not just chewed)
For chewing toys overall I bought kongs and nylabones.
Hi there, Carla! I'm not sure which part you're talking about, but 5 really loves his Yak cheese stick. That's probably the chew in question. Thanks for watching!
@McCann Dog Training awesome, yes that was what I saw!! Thank You! We've been employing your puppy training with our little yellow lab pup and it has been so enjoyable.
Your videos are great, but I find my puppy after a month is still peeing everywhere and nipping alot
I’m drowning here. Fear I might have to give up my beautiful 10 week old golden retriever puppy. Ugh
Look up videos on the puppy blues. Almost all dog owners (old and new) go through it. Went through with it with my puppy at 9-10 weeks old (literally had a huge panic attack), and now at 12 weeks old he’s gotten so much better and is so much more manageable and fun to work with. If you feel too overwhelmed, however, seek professional help from a trainer. Just give it some time, and if after a couple more weeks you’re still feeling they aren’t having their needs met, then think about rehoming.
sounds like the puppy blues? What is the problem? Maybe I can help?
Yeah my puppy is 15 weeks now and we feel like we just got over a HUGE hump. Hang in there. Remember a crate is always an option if you need a break. We would go through the checklist. Poop yes, potty yes, food yes, play/training yes and we say yes to all, back in the crate he goes till the next round. Even if he cries, we know all of his needs were met.
Look up the puppy blues and know you’re not alone! It will pass, I promise you! 10wks is still extremely young! You will not have a potty trained puppy at 10wks old! She should have specified that age matters, she’s probably assuming most people get their puppies between 8-10wks!
Hang in there. I had a full blown panic the week I got my puppy and had to go stay with family for a bit - no kidding! These videos didn’t help, they actually made it worse for me. They are unattainable for a lot of working people. Being in a pen made my puppy cry all the time and it was breaking me. Instead I have a puppy proofed room with easy to clean carpet overlay and he (and I!) are much happier. Felt like I could hardly shower or cook or do anything else before this because I was following these silly puppy schedules which are hourly in many cases. Too complicated. Don’t think that everybody is training their dog this way, they aren’t. Or having them potty trained in a month! Come on.
I have had my puppy for 2 months. House training is still a work in process. Now I am ashamed. ;)
Crating inside the house is illigal here in Finland. Crates are used just for transportation or _temporarily_ like during sickness. It outrageous to keep dogs in crates where they can’t move much.
Fully housetrained in a month? Seriously, I love this channel and appreciate all the advice, but it's starting to make me feel like a failure as a puppy owner and it's not much fun to watch anymore. I've had my 9 week old Aussie pup for going on 3 weeks and no way do I believe he will be housebroken in another week. Even with constant supervision, houseline, etc , he has random accidents right in front of me. Everything excites him at this age, especially if he sees my cat.
Maybe HER dog will be, but every dog is different and age has a huge impact. How many accidents has this puppy had? I never see any admissions.
Hi there, Laura! This is an important question! 5 Alive had a few accidents in the first couple of weeks he was home. He was originally pad trained when he came to Kayl, so she had to quickly teach him that going indoors wasn’t an option. If you’re still regularly having accidents, you need to be more proactive about taking your puppy out! Even if that means an extra couple trips at random times, even if your puppy hasn’t given you any signals.
Kayl’s puppy hadn’t had any accidents after about the second week home. But we wouldn’t consider the puppy “house trained”. She’s still putting in extra effort to make sure the puppy doesn’t have an accident, and she knows that if it does happen, it’s time to increase the management and supervision!
Most importantly, don’t get frustrated! It’s a process, and every puppy’s timeline is different. But after 1 month at home, you can definitely set a goal for no more accidents indoors!
Happy Training!
Yeah I can’t watch these or other dog training videos like them anymore, since getting my puppy.. they’re perfectionistic and unattainable for people who lead normal lives, work, have other commitments etc. My pup and I are happier for it.
Feeling a total a failure too. I watched loads of these videos before we picked up our pup and have watched endless hours of them since we got her. So far - we go outside lots of times in a day and she rarely wee’s but as soon as she comes in she goes wee and poo on the carpet. We are taking it in turns sleeping on the settee with her on a night and she sleeps from 10pm - 6am but when we’ve tried to put her in her crate she whines and barks incessantly and tries shredding the towel we put in there. We are totally knackered. She is 12 weeks old now and nothing is working. She nips and bites all the time and my arms are cut the shreds. We’ve tried using a lead on her in the house but she wants to rag the lead - these videos all make it looks so easy but we’ve obviously got a devil dog.
Watching these videos as well the advice was take the pup outside from day one for toiletting but last week we went to vet for second injections and she said the pup shouldn’t be going outside to toilet until at least 16 weeks old
@@sheenaghbyrne4763 Right there with you, my friend. I really do appreciate these videos, but I think they really make it seem way easier than it is, especially for very young puppies.
Mine cries in the crate too, but covering it completely with a blanket helps him settle. Maybe that would help you?
