Did you know... YOU ARE FLIPPING BEAUTIFUL. I know it, because any dog person is a good person. Comment below how dogs makes you a BETTER person! For me, my dogs taught me how to be grateful for everything, even the small things. The simple things. Gratitude is the key to happiness, and my dogs remind me of this every damn day. XOXO! Lastly, connect with me on Insta! instagram.com/rachelfusaro
Dogs make me a better person because they teach me patience, they make me a happier person, dogs (and just animals in general) help me connect with more people, and without having my love of dogs I would never have discovered so many great channels (especially this one 😉) !!!
Awh, congrats! I thought I recognized your name. TH-cam recently suggested one of your videos to me, & I realized it's because we are both in Austin! Small world :) Let me know if you have any questions, more than happy to help. You can DM me on Insta if that's easier: instagram.com/rachelfusaro
I’m getting a new puppy this weekend and I have so much anxiety about it. I’ve been watching your videos and I’m feeling more confident. Thank you for your common sense approach and for setting up realistic expectations.
This video was PERFECT for me because I’m getting my first ever new puppy next week on Saturday and I could not be more excited!! Watching your videos really helps me calm myself and realise how much joy I’ll get from having a dog so a huge THANK YOU!!!💞
Alpha Wolf thank you so much, I’m sooo excited!! Sadly I couldn’t get a rescue as my brother has pretty bad allergies and all the ones we looked at didn’t seem to have lower shedding dogs. I live in England and generally there are lots of border collies and huskies which would just be awful for his allergies!😭😭 when I move out though I really hope to rescue my next dog. We know a really kind and reputable Labrador owner who decided to have breed his Labrador with a poodle so we’re having a mini labradoodle! I’m very excited but not sure he’ll be so little from the size of his paws🤣🤣
Meg Pennycooke that is awesome! You will have the best time with your puppy, and it’s good to have something other than a border collie or a husky! You will have a beautiful and unique addition to the family!
Thank you Rachel for these amazing videos. I just brought my puppy home. I have to admit I am super anxious. He is doing so well, I’m the one who isn’t doing so well. But your videos sure do bring me comfort.
You always have the best tips for becoming a better dog parent! I always find your videos SO helpful and I’m in love with your channel (and your mission to save all the rescue dogs) ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Rachel! You definitely need to start some sort of Facebook Group where your followers can all connect together - sometimes it's easy to feel super stressed and overwhelmed as a new pet parent but your community here reminds me that we can get through this :) xx
Rachel Fusaro similar content to YT and Instagram but maybe a place for discussions? You could also ask your followers for advice or help for your work etc? I’m not sure but it would be awesome whatever 😊

YES!!! Your baby is coming home, I am so excited for you love!!! Keep me posted, and let me know if you have questions. Easiest place is Instagram @RachelFusaro
I definitely needed this. I was going to get a dog yesterday but we were to late (She was still there, but you cant adopt after 6). Hopefully shes still there today! Edit: I got her!
This video is awesome! So many great tips! My husband and I want to adopt our next dog, but I’ve been a little nervous about the how to bring a new dog into the home that’s good for us, good for our dog, and good for the new dog
I literally needed a COMPLETE first moment walk through and this it. Thank you for taking the time to share the knowledge. Ironically I was building up the courage to request a similar video 😂
I’m 2 weeks out from getting my puppy and I’m so thankful for all of these videos to get me prepared! Would you recommend getting two separate crates in the beginning, 1 for the bedroom and 1 for out in the living room for during the day? I wouldn’t mind doubling up on the training to introduce both crates but I don’t want to confuse the puppy in any way either
i needed this video. thank you! was legit googling what to do my puppys first day right before it uploaded. so okay. the first day we get him.. we dont get them until atleast 8 pm.. do i still do all this stuff at night. our bedtime is at 10 pm.
Do the best you can! That's all we can do as pet parents. There is no perfect answer, but just do your best. If you get your puppy that late, I would focus on having a calm and relaxed introduction to your home.
Hello! I absolutely add fresh raw foods to their meals. Every foster is different, but yes most eat raw :) And I love that video idea ( but I love more that you care to see my Bentley Moose 🥰😍)
Help! My 9 month old miniature poodle still bites! It's mostly when we are playing or if he takes something of mine and I try to take it back he actually growls and bites me :(
Great vid, thanks! I am curious to know what race 'Maisie' (not sure about the spelling) is? I have a young dog that looks just like her! He is a lab mix, as far as I know.
I will be receiving my puppy in a few days. This video is very reassuring to me. I am concerned about walking outside as he will not have had all his shots yet. (will only be nine weeks old). I have a privacy fenced yard, never been any dogs there. I’ll make sure he stays very close to the house, not the fence and possible neighbor dogs proximity. Will that be safer than the street? Love your videos ❣️🙏🏼🌈🐶🇺🇸
Question : I will be getting a 8week old cavapoo over the weekend. You said first thing is walk the puppy, but what happens if the puppy is still to young due to vaccinations?
I just got my 5 month old Maltese Chihuahua mix puppy yesterday and she is so attached to me already but every time someone else comes near her she growls at them. Any tips? Please anything will help
She sounds fearful. Working with a trainer is always a good idea, if it was me, I would work on building her confidence. Good way to do that is working with her on obedience and training! Here are some ideas for you: th-cam.com/video/LvA1PX9j0FQ/w-d-xo.html
Could you make a video or even just reply to this with advice on bringing home a new puppy to a house with cats? I know that you only have dogs but I was wondering if you have any intel in this matter as it would really help me out!
Annika Manalang if it’ll help you I absolutely will! Net: go slow. Allow the cat safe space/place to retreat easily if needed. Reward dog for ignoring. Let them sniff on either side of a closed door for several days at least. I often recommend have a leash on dog so you can grab easily and quickly if they start chasing cat (always monitor). Go slow 😍
Hi Rachel I have a question so I have been trying to train my puppy Anaya to walk on a leash but it's not going so well she refuses to go the way I say and she tries to go back home I have been training her on my driveway and when I try and put her harness on she rolls over and it's a big struggle please help me

What are top 3 treat recommendations for 8 week old puppies. Also do you recommend greenie bones? I want to make a rice heat pad for his crate. Have you tried one of these?
That's a tough one... so many things I recommend! ha. Specifically for 8 week old pups, I would start introducing raw foods into their diet (assuming they're eating solids now). Secondly, contrary to some, it's not too early to start training! Obviously keep it light, short, and fun - but I have fostered 8-10 week old puppies that were easily able to learn basic commands. As long as I made it a game with lots of play and reward, it tired them out and enriched their day. Finally, you can start potty training now - they're young, and they can't hold their bladder young - but starting now will make life easier later... I sadly don't have experience with a rice heat pad :( I linked some videos below that hopefully help you!

As far as treats my pup really liked and likes the L.I.D mini reward treats for training, and loves Whimzees as dental treats! Also, everything Rachel said is great too
I will bring my home a Akita Inu and I have a question, he is going to be only 2 months old and can I let him step or walk in grass when he's that young?
Or will be evening by the time we get home with her . We will let her sniff on leash in the back yard. Can’t encounter other dogs til she has all shots

Great clip. Defo it will help me go through first night with my puppy. Greetings from UK

Hey!! I heard it’s risky to take the puppy on walks before her vaccinations are done. Is that true? Would you still recommend walking?

What if your puppy hasn’t gotten all there vaccinations like for the walk.
Just go places that arent commonly socialized by other animals. As far as restroom brakes I'd go with your backyard or potty pads or grass pads
Thx
@@tarynlol7228 I wish I could hire you to help with comments, you are AMAZING and mostly - HELPFUL. Thank you for being here ❤ Couldn't do this without you 😍
Taryn was right! Just walk the pup in your yard, it's a great place to start!

See but my problem is that I used to have a dog that wasn’t vaccinated but it’s been about three years is it still safe?

got a pure golden 3 months old. very bitey and while playing gets a bit aggressive, but he is so damn cute
Do you know how to introduce a puppy to cats who have never been around dogs
I will bring my home a Akita Inu and I have a question, he is going to be only 2 months old and can I let him step or walk in grass when he's that young?
If he’s vaccinated it should be good! If not just walk him in your yard.
I also recommend to find a holistic vet, who is open to minimally vaccinating
Rachel Fusaro Oh okay! Thx for telling me!!!
Where can I find that treat pouch?
Can you make a vid on only things about vets bc my dad said that our puppy won’t need that vet stuff and I want to proof to him that he is wrong
Would it be okay to teach tricks to a two month old puppy?
Thanks for all that you do it has help me so much. Notice me please 😆😆😆😆😆😆
How often to dogs need to get vaccinated?
At what age can puppies start eating treats ?
Does anyone know some good flea/tick prevention?
What is the best age to start walking your dog?
Maybe this is a stupid question... Is there a minimal age a puppy has to be to take a walk with her? We are getting a puppy in August!!!!!
Are spaniels friendly? 🐶🌹
Any dog can be extremely social and friendly as long as they are positively socialized and you bring them with you many places
@@tarynlol7228 YESSS, exactly
Taryn was spot on! They absolutely can be, with proper experiences and training :)
Oh ok because I'm getting a spaniel
New puppy is named Oakley Rose
what if my puppy is two months old?
Much of this still applies
This should probably have a disclaimer for folks not familiar with your channel that new puppies (8weeks old) should not walk on leash on the street.
Do you have the best puppy advice
I don't know if I have the best, I just share what works for me and hope I can help others :)
I have been asking my parents since 5 to 7 years but still they were never convinced 😭😭😭😣😔😞😓
Or will be evening by the time we get home with her . We will let her sniff on leash in the back yard. Can’t encounter other dogs til she has all shots
How many treats would you give your dog in a day?
I thought puppy’s are not supposed to go out on walks when they are young..? Am I wrong???
it depends if the have all their vaccines
