Dogs are the only motivation that I want to be a better person so that I will make them as happy as possible.
dogs are the best!
I 100% agree
I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.
Really that’s probably sad to say, but I agree. People need to be more like dogs.
Damn hope you love humans as much
Smell is powerful. My first dog got pancreatitis and ended up in the hospital for a week. She wasn't getting better, and I thought it was the end. Then I thought to bring her an old, smelly t-shirt I'd been sleeping in. She finally had a good, long sleep that night, and woke up full of energy. I think that smelly t-shirt saved her life.
Lucky your stink didn’t kill her
cleanliness was abandonment, your smell was HOME
My chihuahua sleeps with me eats with me shops with me. My bestie. My heart. I love ❤ her endlessly 🐕🙏😇😘🐕❤
That makes me so happy for you. 😊 Me and my besties, also Chihuahuas, do the same
@@ladywolfwolf 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
My dog sleeps with me and I love it ❤❤
Having a bed on the floor is a good idea because they can overheat if they are under a duvet.
@barryevans791 Lol, my pittie puts herself under the blankets and wouldn't be able to sleep if not under them... she's 14 and still alive and thriving. It depends on how heavy the duvet is though I guess, I sleep with a light duvet.
@@Saria.. I guess it depends on the dog and how much fur they have. My Jack Russells liked to go under by my feet, but usually ended up panting heavily and having to leave to cool down.
@barryevans791 Yeah very true, as long as the dog is happy 😊
@@barryevans791My Chihuahuas would never be seen above the covers, if I let them.
Only 45% of people let their dogs sleep in their beds?! Wtf! I guess I was naive in thinking it was 100% lol
Why have one if you can't sleep together ?
Initially I kennel trained my dog. He slept in his kennel until I was certain he was house trained. As soon as he was, I let him sleep on a dog bed right beside my bed. I kept him on his own bed for a year or more since I was of the mind that it wasn't good for their behavior to allow them to sleep with you. Then we moved across country... and drove. We stayed in an AirBnB while we found a new home to buy and he started sleeping with us then. In our new home he has slept with us since we got here. He has his own beds, and he will sleep in them until we go to bed... and then he'll climb up with us. We have a king size bed, but a 63 lb bully can still make it a bit uncomfortable sometimes. :)
That's nothing try having a lab shepard at 120lbs and all I have is a full size bed. I'm 65 4'11 and have to climb to my spot at the very top of the bed. I sleep sideways on it and dog and cat get the rest and the window. But we manage
My dog loves to sleep on my recliner..she is 11 years old. An spoiled.l❤your channel. Thank u
I wouldn’t be complete without my dogs.
Dogs are wonderful to have as pets become like a child to you
When I need to practice my harp, my Maltipoo likes to cuddle next to me so he can feel the vibration of the harp strings. So I don't feel guilty about taking practice time away from playing with my dog. He's just as happy to feel the music along with me.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
thanks a LOT for the USEFUL information SERIOUSLY
5:30 I give my Norwegian Elkhound a section of raw beef leg bone six to twelve inches long, initially with some traces of meat on it, and he does ape with it. keeps him busy for hours.
The breed is not as big as most people imagine, but in Scandinavia these dogs, just ovr knee high and about fifty pounds, are used to herd reindeer and hunt moose and other large game. When I board him (alwaysat the kennel where he was born) he loves to play with the breeder's horses.
People ask what breed he is, I say "a conversation piece."
He loves car rides and running errands with me, especiall when meeting the people at home centers. At the bank they are only half-joking when they say they can't serve me without my ID, "So where's 'Dash?"
He seems indifferent to TV, and while he will spend a little while on the bed with me, he usually hops down after a few minutes, preferring to sleep on a rug by my bed or in a central location where he anybody going anywhere in the house has to pass by him, so h knows when and where his pack-people are going.
I had two of them years ago. ❤
5:52 Giving a dog a long lasting treat while they're home alone is basically the dog equivalent of "ok honey, here's some video games for you to play until we get back"
My dog used to sleep in bed with me, but once I left a blanket on the floor, he claimed it as his own. I miss sleeping with him, but I want him to do what he wants.
This is one of the best dog videos I’ve seen. Great work!
Omg I wasn't expecting that cocker part, sooo true! Royalty 👑
I have an 18 month old beagle. He doesn’t sleep in our bed only because our first one became protective of other dogs. He’ll curl up on the couch while I’m watching TV but bedtime he’s in the crate. Oh and beagles are like Swiss clocks when it’s time for a meal. I have him on a 6 ft leash and he’s perfectly happy. Being a scent hound his nose is forever on the ground. Fortunately he makes himself tired with the zoomies after a long walk. He’ll grab a chew toy and run around in circles or figure eights around the first floor. My boy is plenty happy.
I have a 2 year old beagle who is a mooch but we can’t help but to give him the last bite. And after a long day of being out in the yard while we were out, poor guy just wanted to snuggle and get scritches. Usually we drop him off at my parents house so he can play with their beagle but my mom just had surgery so the two beagles constantly playing would be too much. When we got home, He actually ran to the couch while looking back at me and then crawled on my lap. He doesn’t sleep with me either. There’s too many interesting smells in our room for him to settle down. He’s a sweet dog
My bed❤ lovley cuddles

This channel is like a really good primer for new dog owners. I'm not one of those at all, but I guess that's why I can say this.
I love dogs so much ❤❤❤❤
Those doggie brown eyes❤
Loved this video! Thank you.
I sleep in the same bed as my puppers. I’m still not convinced it’s my bed. She somehow takes up 4/5ths of the available space. I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😊
❤❤❤❤
I love my dogs. I have a lab mix and a terrier mix. Both are awesome creatures. I wish I had more of them. I would love to get a service dog for my daughter who has epilepsy. Is there an place I can find one? I live in Wisconsin.
most walks I took my dog on were sniff walks...my dog didn't sleep on my bed but in my room in her crate...which had a primo mattress. We would have staring contests..and she always won...
Aw dogs are the best!
I have learned so much from this video I am so grateful to you. We have a bishop Maltese she turned 1 on Jan. 11 still training her
Her name is ANuschka a little angel with black wings ❤
I Love ❤Dogs! 🐶
My dogs belong to other family members that I live with. We have a dog named Lilith she’s a Belgium Shepherd. We also have a a bulldog named Brandy and Lois and Brandy are good friends and they sleep together outside. If I had my way I would bring them in the house and let them sleep with me but they’re not my dogs. But those two dogs I love them both. I love them more than some people I know I have a deep compassion and love for dogs. I think dogs are beautiful animals. I also think they’re very intelligent. But whatever they are, there’s some of the best friends I’ve ever had in my life.😁😁👍👍❤️🐕
Wolves are similar yet different in their behavior. That 2% dna difference really does make a difference!
They just haven’t been domesticated for many many years. Dogs came from wolves
Indeed they have. I’ve been exceeding blessed to have been accepted as part of the pact of wolves I helped to volunteer to acclimate them to humans for 2 of the best summers of my life. I have a special bond with my dogs, but knowing that a group of wild animals have chosen to accept you as one of their own is a precious gift.
Sharing my beef jerky made my doggo happy. Lol. Best damn friend I ever had!
My dog was bred to be a watchdog. I can’t sleep with her in my bed because she seems to think that means she needs to be on watch. She nearly gave me a heart attack when my roommate got up at 2 AM to get a drink of water from the kitchen. I do pull her into bed for some morning cuddles before I get ready for work or get started for the day on the weekends.
I’ve heard reggae music helps dogs relax, don’t know how much truth there is to it though

Dogs like classical music, especially Bach
Not letting my dog sleep in my bed has never even been a thought. A real dog lover is going to tell you that our dogs aren't "just dogs" they are individuals with their own personality and they are family. They are just as important as any human, and in most cases more important. They are more important because they do more for us than any human ever could.
My dogs eat everyday at 7:00 pm, even when the alarm doesn't go off, they cone get me lol
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
my dog and my friends dog actually are fine with what ever music you put playing, i like rock, and puck rock, and death metal, my dog does not get scared or nervous
🐾 💗 🐾
My fur baby has to always be touching my husband or I somewhere or leaning up on us she is a cavapoo and needs companionship all the time lol

If you have to constantly leave your dog alone for long periods, get another dog. Nothing beats company when you're a pack animal.

"You can't be with your dog all the time..." Challenge accepted!.
Surprised you didn’t mention giving them a stinky tee shirt with your sweaty smell on it. It works very well to put in their kennel pre flight to keep them calm
Yessss i definitely should’ve mentioned that - thanks for sharing!
Angels..
Warning, I was fostering, an abused dog and direct eye contact can be seen as a threat. She bite my face. I almost lost an eye. Latter we became best friend and yes I still have a scare. Lesson learned
As an old dog trainer I too was quite surprised that they brought up eye contact in that manner. Our dogs were Imports and took the eye to eye thing as a challenge.
Unless you are alpha.
My dog follows me everywhere and sleeps in my pillow.
Our dog loves reggae!

My dog loves watching tv especially if it has dogs on it
I've a 2.5 Yr old jack, a 6mth old jack and a 3 year old cat. We all sleep in my bed in a big heap. Their choice and mine of course.
LOL "Pet dogs don't determine when they eat, for a walk for potty." No mine does! He will let us know when it's time for all those things! 😅
Me too
Somebody tell me where u can get a dog in Nepal Kathmandu!
Reggae music is better than classical. Less high-pitches and dramatic changes in cadence. Try it out and see if your little monster prefers it. Mine sure does.
I was sick in bed for 3 days. My dog never left my side. I could tell she was worried. A wonderful nurse.
my pet psychic said my dog loves it when i let my pomeranian onto my bed in the morning. psychic said he called it Bedtime in the Morning. now we do betime in the morning every single morning. he licks my face slowly like it's his job to wake me up that way lol i've never had a dog that liked this before.
"long lasting chew treats" - there is basicly nothing which mine wont destroy in a few moments. i was drunk and brought her a chewy "bone" in the size of 1 meter.
i tried to cut it with different tools and barley had a chance but she just bit things off this bone like it was a cake.
also not every dog searches eye contact.
The world Dog is God. Dogs are angels without wings.
They are! (Although sometimes mine can also be a little devil)
@@doggydigs oh, mine too!
My dog likes metal, as long as it's ne playing guitar 😂

My dog loves watching tv, hates peanut butter to fetch and she sleeps all over in the same room w/me, which includes sleeping w/me.. yet she gets hot, so moves to a cooler place to sleep, as she has 3 beds & a favorite rug.
Despite these she’s a very happy & loving dog.
And thank god, she doesn’t slobber all over my face, but gives me a lick on the arm that’s brushing, scratching to massaging her muscles after runs.
💜✌🏼🦋🐕(she does look like the Apple dog, that blonde/tan w/a curly tail (a must for her breed😉)
In my strange mind this is actually a dog narrating this video.
My dog spins in circles all day long, endorphin production maybe?
haha maybe!
OCD maybe
Indidnt men to thats wh im wtching this ❤
My dog sleeps under the blankets with me every time
Nah my dog actually watches the tv avidly, I can see his eyes moving as the characters on tv are moving.
We had a dachshund growing up. When I went to school, he would sleep in my room. One time when coming back from the beach, he greeted us at the door like he always did but he was wearing the paper bag I had to deliver papers with. He had been lying on it in my room and got tangle up in it.
My dad doesnt let my border collie sleep inside...and im so sad cause i love her and she sleeps outside😢😢
When I was with my ex, her chihuahuas always cuddled with me............now that she is gone they wish me goodnight and then lay elsewhere. I get up, get into the shower.......and they are back in my bed. I don't know how to take this....but they love me. (the ex isn't dead, we broke up) Even she understood they were better with me.
On the neck bc it always puts her to sleep😂
Nerve endings in their booty
“Dang it dog! Keep your butt and literal hole out of my face when I’m down here. At least wait until I’m up and about.”
chasing a ball and chewing sticks.. sadly something my dog will no longer be able to do if the Bully ban goes ahead
As someone who has a dog, or two😂, hearing the way you say, "The booty scratch", it's an instant try...
We lost our Golden to cancer, but when we had him he loved getting bones for a treat, but if he couldn't eat the entire bone in 30 mins it got buried. vr
My princess mut has that bone 11:11
my dog loves it!
My dog is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel be he hates when someone hugs him-
Mine too I swear he is not a big cuddle dog but loves to kiss me but hates to be hugged WOW thank you I thought it was my dog being bitchy lol
My dog barks at the tv when there is a dog on the screen.,.yet she can’t see my iPad weird hey,,,,
Less than half (45%) of dogs sleep with 'their people'? I don't believe that for one minute! I'd say more like 75%. Anyway, my two ornery wiener dogs sleep with me, and it's awesome; especially on cold winter nights!
Some people are saying peanut butter is bad for dogs, is this true?
Some kinds are bad, but there’s dog friendly ones
Dogs can identify mealtime as well as an atomic clock.
my Dogs are a headbangers, love metal !! since all i listen since they were pups, just metal and that's 24/7 for me, Metal 100%. Metal Music relaxes me 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Im not a fan of leaving chewy treats with my dogs after I’ve left the house….dogs can choke on harder to chew treats like raw hides and such.
A toy with hidden peanut butter is a better idea IMO….but it may not last as long. I usually give my dogs a small treat before I leave for the day. They eat it and then go lay down in their beds cause they know I’m leaving for awhile.
Border Collie's are happiest when they have a job to do. If you don't find them one, they will find there own. And mine are at least as 'smart' as a 5-6 year old - or the average teenager today.
A dog is as smart as a 2-year-old? No wonder why they seem to be perpetually in the “terrible twos.” 😂
Dogs are way too smart to be entertained by TV.
Was that 19 things seemed like just a few?❤
I just steppon his foot and now i feel bad 😢
9:53 - 10:06
Instructions unclear... created chimera...
My daisy sleeps at my feet,then in the morning she comes up to my pillow and sleeps next to my cheek,,she’s a shitzu ,bison friz,,,so cute at 8 pounds,,so cute,,,,,was supposed to b wife’s dog but sleeps with me,,,l,o,l,,,
I've had cats and dogs ruin my sleep for nearly 30 years, and wouldn't have it any other way.
But I don't got a dog and a cat sleep
Huh?
Dogs are as smart as a two-year-old human???
How insulting to the dog. 😊
i didnt mean*
I'M SORRY BUT THE THUMBNAIL-
Do not sleep with your dog if you are a out-working owner. it will cause them a deep separation anxiety and you'll find your house destroyed because they will tear everything trying to search for you.
Feet
MY DOG IQ IS SMARTER THAN INSTIN ATULYN : 0
🛌
Shouldn't leave your dog alone with chew sticks, etc.
give them an old shoe or pair of your socks.
wow they're as smart as a two year old? I thought they were smarter than that because that's not that smart
my dogs dont like toys and they also dont like licking my feet or any member of families feet . they prefer to lick face or hands. I read this as gesture of dignity. they have dignity, licking feet is an insult .
They did scientific studies and came up with this? SMH...they must not ever own a dog IRL....
Just a little too boring to finish watching.
My dog is smarter then a 2 year old human
