Thanks so much for the shoutout! We hope you’re enjoying the mics. 🥰 We’re very sorry to hear about Otis and Alfie. We founded a dog rescue in 2013 and have fostered hundreds of dogs throughout the years, so please reach out anytime and we’ll do our best to offer help or advice. Sending best wishes to you and your family! ❤
Thanks for the update. Re: Alfie. I have two English bulldogs, this is why I haven't left England to retire in Thailand. I know they wouldn't cope well with the climate, as they are affected by our warmer, humid days, which are nothing in comparison. My two are fed raw, much better than kibble, and their poos are about a third of the size. IMHO, kibble is why dogs are dying at a much younger age these days. I don't know where you are visiting in the UK, but if it's a major City, be prepared. It will shock you!
Damo’s hair is gorgeous!!! I’ve seen a huge difference in my dog now that I am feeding her a different diet. Kibble is a rarity now. So glad you all are getting some cooler weather at last! Thanks for sharing your day.
Always a pleasure watching your videos! We recently purchased an rechargeable electric collar from lazada for one of our dogs who was licking and eating things he shouldn't and occasionally tries to get aggressive with our other dog. The collar can deliver a beep, vibrate, or a shock via handheld remote control. (We avoid using the shock mode.) We've found the vibrate mode has worked well for getting him to stop licking and eating the things he shouldn't, and the aggression towards his brother! Even just the beep mode gets his attention. Might be a solution to the pig dung eating issue!
Your little Dog is only 6 mos. old. Perfect age for teaching. Short attention span though. Still a baby at that age. With his interactions with your other dogs, he doesn't seem aggressive at all. I'm sure you will have it sorted in No time. He's really Cute. Otis can handle this situation. Enpower him to take part in the process. (P.S. I think Otis can take Him! 😂😂)
Gotta love the countryside! Watching this video makes me miss my grandparents home! Anyway- hope Otis is ok….and not too traumatized! Thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us Ryan😊 Have a wonderful week 😊
As you know, when you met me at your home, I am from the UK and currently still live here. I think you will be very surprised how the UK has changed. Some places are for the better as they have had a lot of investment. However, I feel that most of the UK has changed for the worse, with many shops being empty and run down. Also I have noticed many homeless people sleeping rough in some of the shop entrances. My town in Bridgend, S. Wales has definitely suffered from many shop closures.
Frenchie’s can be vicious! My friend has the softest, cutest Frenchie. We took it for a walk down a Canal ( on a Lead), and it suddenly darted and grabbed a Duckling by its neck.
We have no open spaces to walk our dogs where we live in Saraburi- i am so envious. I have fostered over 300 dogs in South Africa and there is no question that Alfie must be neutered now. He may be an alpha and you cant let the aggressive neurological pathways form now in his brain while under the influence of surging testosterone. AMy products from shamans shed arrive today- im so excited!!
Well Otis is so smart and you educating will help him learn a lot I am sure he will love that boding time great memories are you taking Otis with you? To UK ?
My wife loves GoPro and has been using several of the previous models. Unfortunately, GoPro cameras still suffer from overheating when recording long videos.
Sorry to hear about Alfie.. he's a beautiful dog.. Training a dog takes as much energy as training kids.. you might like to take time to watch Cesar Milans videos on TH-cam.. he will change your perspective regards dog training.. 😊 hope this helps because Alfie deserves the best.. as does Otis.. 😊. Also a good idea to take Otis on your walks and check Alfie if he shows any dominance towards Otis.
Only feed our dogs a raw food diet with some of our left overs as treats etc, our last dog lived to 19 yrs old could have been longer but we messed up on his teeth. Here in Vancouver the vet wanted $1,000 to clean his teeth which was 14 yrs ago, can’t imagine what the price is now. We also give vitamins and some minerals to our dogs every couple of days.
Four awesome years !!! I remember when: you checking out the back at the creek and elevated landing....it's been so eye-opening of a trip. Can't thank you folks enough for your tenacity and love of Life. keeping me going too as well as alot of us shut-ins....x o
Hi Ryan, I watched your vlog regarding your dog Alfie and him having a nip at Otis. Yes it could of been an accident or a more ominous sign of Alfie trying to show his position in the pack as he may be trying to be higher up in the pecking order. As an ex RAAF police dog I can see some signs of this. If I could suggest that you do get him desexed and also give him some obedience training and include Otis doing the training as this will help lessen the fear of the incident and show Alfie where he stands in the pack. You Ryan are the pack leader and he looks to you for guidance and leadership but remember he is an animal. Remember also baby Hugo is alot closer to the ground and to Alfie which can cause some trouble. This is only suggestions which I have carried all my life from a youngster to now, no matter how friendly you may think a dog is be aware. Many thanks for your great vlogs from you and Damo, keep life simple and fun.😅
Thanks for sharing Ryan. Perhaps the dog might kill again, I hope not. I would be worried more that he might bite a person or one of the kids in anger. I'm sure you will make the right decision if you have to Both you and Damo have achieved a lot these past few years. It's OK to chill a little and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Nobody could accuse you two of being lazy or not motivated. It's not always necessary to keep trying to "achieve " something, when you get too a point when you have what you want and your comfortable and happy then just maintain what you have and enjoy what your efforts so far have got you. A simple life in the country is what you always maintain is all you need. Seems to me you have that all sorted so relax and enjoy this beautiful life far from the stress of corporate life and the stress of city life. Cheers mate
Bro, brace yourself for your UK trip!! If you've not really been back and checked the country out for 13-odd years, be prepared to discover an almost unrecognisable country! I'm loathe to join the 'Blighty's Screwed' brigade, but truth be told.... it kinda is!! I lived in central/West London between 1994 - 2006, and then moved out and have lived in the south-east Ldn suburbs since. The last 20-years have seen sooo many changes. Traffic and crowds have increased exponentially; a lot of the light-hearted wit and creativity of the people seems to have evaporated. Everyone, and I mean everyone seems to be struggling just to get by these days. Obvs Covid kicked this off, but far from improving, it's just got worse and worse, harder and harder. As an ex-musician I can tell you with considerable sadness that the UK's live music scene has been decimated. So many cool venues, where bands/musicians could cut their teeth, learn to play to an audience and steadily build a fanbase have gone. In-fact, I'd say one of the saddest changes across the last 20 years is a general death of culture. That British cultural identity, always such a proud export and magnet for visitors, has evaporated. There's just an absence of any substantial artistic/creative vibes. This is down to multiple factors such as property prices/rents rising so fast & high that small cultural communities have very few options to congregate in specific areas and generate a 'scene'. Also, the dominance of streaming services has changed live music so noticeably. There's a hugely reduced appetite for gigs, events and artistic happenings. I miss the crackle of new and exciting fashion/artistic tribes... Everything's ridiculously expensive. Yes, there's been a food/restaurant renaissance across last 20-years, BUT eating out anywhere half-decent now requires a second mortgage! You can't park or drive anywhere without inevitably getting a ticket or fine. There's violence in the air - people just don't feel as safe as they did. Friends of mine, particularly women, feel genuinely tense if they have to travel alone. There's a noticeable polarity of ideologies in UK today, that was never overt before. I always celebrated UK's cultural melting pot attitude - but today, it feels like battle lines have been drawn, and different 'sides' really hate on each other. I could go on.... And I know this probably reads like the rantings of a curmudgeonly middle-aged geezer, lamenting how much better everything was 'in my day'!! Maybe I am - but I've always loved British culture, and for much of my life I felt extremely fortunate to have been born and live in the UK. I no longer feel like this because I no longer can recognise so many things that once set the country apart and inspired so much globally-reaching culture. Whilst you revisit and recce Blighty, I am doing the opposite. My family are considering where else in the world we might choose to live. Thailand is certainly on the shortlist. as is Portugal. We'll see. I hope you have a positive visit, and will be very interested to follow your journey and see how you find things. One thing's for sure - you will find a very different land.
I have a miniature schnauzer that my vet recommended neutering at 5 months to prevent some behaviors. He did jump at my son who was 4 at the time and gave him a black eye. I took him to training and the trainer said that my son should give the dog treats and work on teaching him commands to facilitate a relationship.
One thought to consider regarding Alfie is that with all the people and activity around he’s been exposed to a level of chaos he’s not adapted to. Something as small as the cardboard incident would offer more a building of tension and with all the changes and concerns on everyone’s mind he’s also a bit challenged.
Ever thought about 360 degrees cameras like the insta range ? They will upload to TH-cam in 360. Sorry to say I found GoPro not that good compared to DJI, Insta or similar brands. My uncle who was a shepherd and bread collies which he loved always said that a dog is only one step away from a wolf and never treat them as a extra baby or member of the family as any breed can ‘turn’ on family members. Good vlog as usual
Good to hear the farm and family updates Ryan. Sorry to hear about Alfie biting Otis. They are both young, hopefully all will be resolved as they grow older together. I cannot think of a reason other than family to go back to the UK...Do you feel obligated to reciprocate, because your parents have both visited you in Thailand ? Up to you, not something i would spend time and money on, yet my age and situation is entirely different than your.. peace and love to Y'all
I can understand damo wanting to stay with her dad. But there s plenty of other family to help with that. Be nice for you as a family to go on holiday. Hugo not been away. Doesn't know outside life
we have a large dog, and did not fix him until 2 years old. that was a huge mistake. he was insane and very quick to be aggressive. more than once i had to dominate him. once fixed a pure joy. dogs want to be the top dog. imo
My German Shepherd growled at me when he was pre 1 yr old… he never did that again… as I had to be the alpha male in our relationship I was aggressive and assertive. I’d like to think I was more assertive, the end result was a beautiful well heeled good natured friend for my young daughter, also my best mate for 13 or so years❤❤
Thanks for another interesting vlog Ryan, sorry to hear about Alfie biting Otis. Very strange. Hope Otis is not too traumatised and that they both put it behind them. You may be right about the jealousy, but as I am not a dog I cannot be sure. Like your father I worked solidly for 47 years after leaving school at 18 so that I could retire at 65. But I always tried not to worry too much about things or let situations get me down. Your analogy of how wonderful a dogs life must be put me in mind of a passage from the Bible. Matthew 6:25-30 Jesus says, "25 “So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things-food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body-and they are far more important than what to eat and wear. 26 Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat-they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food-for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. 27 Will all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. 29 Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you, O men of little faith?" This has always been my mantra, "Worry and anxiety are wasted emotions" and if we can get to a stage in our lives where we can shed ourselves of the burdens in life, only then can we live in peace and tranquillity. Now at 76 I am almost there, and Isaan has helped me so much to relax completely. Yes, Ryan, although you are only a young man with plans, take time out to admire your achievements relax and take a leaf out of Alfie's book and live a dog's life or a bird or a flower, and your life will be so enriched. God bless you, Damo, Otis, and Hugo always and keep you safe. 😀❤🙏
Dog bites my child then it’s gone. Especially if the child wasn’t being mean or aggressive. I have followed you for years now and admire your dedication and commitment to your family. Family first pets second.
@@thenakedguru You were there and I respect you decision but, always a but isn’t there, is it worth taking the chance of it happening again. Your child was lucky to have not been permanently scarred from the bite. Plus it is my opinion that that type of dog is not really the type of breed that does well around children like a golden retriever or Labrador. It is more suited to a retired couple or single person. Just my opinion and I will not say anything more about it. Best of luck and keep up the great videos. Look forward to seeing them every week.
@@edwardsnover4303thanks for your concern - if there was a directed instance of aggression without the extenuating circumstances I would have to rehome Alfie for sure 🙏
Shocked at your choice to possibly further endanger your own tiny defenseless children from an animal. As father and grandfather of many, I would never weigh a situation in favor of an animal over offspring.
@@jlf2221 little dramatic - we are talking about a 6 month old puppy that accidentally bit my sons hand in an attempt to catch food - they play and sit next to each other everyday with no problems 👍
I never know what to believe online. Some people say the UK has significantly changed, and some say the negativity it's overblown fear mongering. So yes, I am very curious to hear your reflections about the UK should you choose to discuss your thoughts online at some point.
Kanchanaburi is my favorite spot in Thailand. Been many many times. Never stayed but eat at the J/Frog for Brekkie. Mate RIP Ting Tong Tony had a bar. His widow has it now. Nam, Ting Tong Bar! Nearly opposite Pongphen Guesthouse. How old is the mutt? If over 1 year they can get more territorial and agressive if you nut em!
I'm sorry to hear about the dog. I hope your jud is ok. As a dog owner for 60 years, I have learned that once a dog bites a kid, it's done deal. I friendly dog near took off 25% of my girlfriends face. 125 stiches, 3 plastic surgeries later, and she almost looks normal. The owner said his dog never bit before. Heard that so many times.
@thenakedguru that's pretty likely if your boy was near the food during a feeding event or even afterward, for that matter. In general, my dogs aren't allowed to eat until I say so. The dogs wait regardless if i walk out of the room or house. When my wife feeds our dogs, they behave in the same manner. My food, her food, kids' food, the dogs food. Pretty much in that order. A snap/tag is a bit different than a bite. That is something to take into consideration. Choke dee mac
Mate, I just stumbled upon this video and you are living my dream life. I have to know where this farm land that you live on is? How much do you pay if you don't mind me asking?
if you raise your dog like a human hes going to try and establish himself as top dog with his siblings, your kids. zero tolerance for dogs biting kids mate.
I had a boxer Pitbull mix and right around 8 or 9 months he showed a bit of. I'm a big boss and showed some aggression towards other dogs. I think it was just him coming into adulthood or Boyhood. I got them fixed at 11 months and pretty much all of that went away except for when a dog would jump on him. I know it's not the same as a child but I think with Alfie he might be starting to mature or come into boyhood and he has a little bit of I'm going to be a big boy so maybe you're right. Getting him fixed as he gets a little bit bigger a little bit older. Well shut that down and just keep an eye on him around your children. I think he'll be fine as he gets a little more control of his emotions. So you say or as one says he has a lot of male hormones running through him right now as he goes from puppyhood into Boyhood he'll get it. I don't think he'll be a mean dog
Also. Please. Please be carful with your dog. I had a extremely placid dog, but our young baby sat on her by accident. I could not believe the reaction of the dog, changed into a very nasty dog, dog was only defending herself, be careful, it does happen,
Wow have i been watching your videos for almost 4 years...its been great viewing seeing you build a house and garden and your family. Sorry Ryan but you sound like you are high on something in this video, you are learning from a dog... really...omg. you are trying to think what your dog think about..no doubt about what I would do if my dog bit anyone let alone my son
@thenakedguru yes you said that in the video... just think if it happens again and it's really bad... how do you think you will feel if you could have prevented it happening...
@@bobbychan9783had the card (chicken) not been involved and it did not happen in the kitchen where Alfie is fed he would be gone but I will not banish the puppy unless there was a clear act of aggression - they play and sit together all the time which is why I give this lenience - understand the concern though Bob 👍
egad the dog isnt neutered?!? you can neuter as early as 12 WEEKS (as long as he is healthy), and the earlier you have it done the more "puppy-like" it makes them... ALWAYS NEUTER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!! in america, this is the way... i've had animals all my life, and besides not abusing of course... this is the ONLY way i know of to ensure (as much as you can with animals) a REAL friendly pet. hope this helps
Sad to hear that Otis was bitten by Alfie , unfortunately dogs can turn like this suddenly hopefully with training Alfie will stop and Otis will be careful. It's amazing what you done on your land in such a short time it looks so beautiful. Always interesting and informative and entertaining great job as always.
I take food from my dog all the time and if he so much as growls he gets disciplined immediately, only happened once and ever since no issues you have to let them know it’s unacceptable. My neighbours grandson lost his nose to such an incident.
You have show him what he did to Otis tell him NoNo yes get him neutered yes he is getting jealous he's young you have to teach him he needs socialization around people he might have gotten protective over you! I hope he learns ❤ you have a beautiful life there and you have a little paradise there ENJOY
"By focusing on rewards for desired behaviors rather than punishment for unwanted actions, you can create a positive learning environment for your dog. Teaching basic commands, using treats, praise, and toys as rewards, and maintaining a regular training schedule are important." Known as how could you prevent your dog's behaviour problems. For your pet behaviour situation, the most effective way to control a dog is through training and positive reinforcement. This includes teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel, as well as proper leash manners. Consistency and patience are key in training a dog, as well as setting clear boundaries and rules for the dog to follow. Also how do you discipline a dog effectively is Effective ways to discipline a dog include redirecting unwanted behavior, using time-outs, and reinforcing positive behavior. Consistency and timing are crucial. Avoid physical punishment, yelling, or any form of aversive training, as these methods can lead to fear, aggression, and damaged trust. That's all I'm informing the ways for controlling pets' behaviour as my sister's dog doesn't earlier in the morning started to bark while my sister, mom and mom's siblings are sleeping, she keeps on barking on 5 or 7 am that's why I'm helping my sister to control her don't rush times to bark anytime in the early morning. Now she is starting to take time to control barking and has started to bark at 9 going to 10 am already as I don't want my sister to waste her working time by wasting it as it's getting better and no more time to bark or else I'm going to bring her back to the pet shop that my sister has bought already. My sister said that I'm helping without any resting time but she still knew that man's best friends are dogs by controlling their behaviours.
Ryan earn to live please don't live to earn enjoy what you have built, a stunning home for your wonderful family, a business based on natural products. What you have is beautiful and I'm pretty sure no one who views what you have been so generous to share with us would ever EVER wants to see you stressed out again. Enjoy your time at a pace that allows you to do so. 🙏❤️🤗🙏🏴
The dog needs more time in training I kept lurchers and terriers that were hunting dogs but they knew never too kill my ferrets or garden animals I was the alpha and they never forgot it
THERE IS NO ALPHA!, no pack leader, no boss, no pecking order, it doesn't exist, it's been disproven many times. There is only survival instinct. I am a full-time, k9 behaviourist and trainer here in the uk. Ryan please don't listen to this advice, you could create a bigger problem. Dogs do not understand the concept of right or wrong. They understand gain or lose. Dogs are competitive, it's a survival instinct. He may be competing for resources. If you share attention with your dog and Tiss at the same time, it may eventually create competitive tension. That said, it could have been a misunderstanding/ accident. Dogs have about a 3 second short term memory. 3 seconds after an event has finished its gone, if an event repeats, an association develops, this can be a positive or negative association. It may never happen again. Is your dog pushing in front of Tiss when you're interacting with him, is your dog trying to win your attention when Tiss is near you? If so, it's competitive tension. Having Alfie neutered is a good idea but would not have prevented this.
I am so sorry to hear that Otis was bitten. It is never a pleasant experience having your beloved dog bite your child. Have Otis walk Alphy on a lead for about 20 minutes a day for about a month. Have him also be the one to give Alphy his meals (of course, with supervision). That will place Otis in the dominant position and will curb Alphy’s little nasty behavior.
I believe this was a mistake of the puppy not an act of aggression directed to my son - Moreso accidentally catching his hand or indeed the dog would be gone 👍
As a Australian who spends most of his time in Thailand, I watch a lot of U Tubers , The UK , U tubers paint a sad picture of, of a George Orwell, Global Socialist state, where personal freedoms are slowly being eroded , Not a place I would wish to visit
In the hill tribes if a dog kills a chicken, the dog is killed. Not sure what they would do about a dog biting a child but guessing something Draconian.
I hope you dont take this as criticism, just pointing out the irony of life and how there are always 2 sides of a coin. You mention castrating your dog, then talk about how great it would be to live as a dog. Lol wouldnt make this comment to most youtubers, but you seem like the kind of bloke who would enjoy some irony.
I would also like to say...do you remember when you were the age of your son? I know I can't remember anything when I was his age... taking him out of school to go awayon one of your trips to the past... again really. He won't remember anything... he's better staying with his mother and learning more about Thailand culture. Gee i never wrote anything like this before...i apologise for making these comments..but listening to you made me think you really don't know the reality of bringing up kids...the dog has to go. Sorry for being blunt. I will still watch your videos. Bob from England now in Thailand.. and im old man.
Cheers Bob Actually I would say you don’t know Thai schools they are not like western schools - I even considered taking him out completely As for remembering - at this age children develop critical skills that they will use throughout their life- I don’t mind if he doesn’t remember but what he learns will be very important 👍

Hi Ryan, I watched your vlog regarding your dog Alfie and him having a nip at Otis. Yes it could of been an accident or a more ominous sign of Alfie trying to show his position in the pack as he may be trying to be higher up in the pecking order. As an ex RAAF police dog I can see some signs of this. If I could suggest that you do get him desexed and also give him some obedience training and include Otis doing the training as this will help lessen the fear of the incident and show Alfie where he stands in the pack. You Ryan are the pack leader and he looks to you for guidance and leadership but remember he is an animal. Remember also baby Hugo is alot closer to the ground and to Alfie which can cause some trouble. This is only suggestions which I have carried all my life from a youngster to now, no matter how friendly you may think a dog is be aware. Many thanks for your great vlogs from you and Damo, keep life simple and fun.😅
I second the desexing, it makes a huge difference in a dogs attitude, especially the males.
Thanks for sharing Ryan. Perhaps the dog might kill again, I hope not. I would be worried more that he might bite a person or one of the kids in anger. I'm sure you will make the right decision if you have to
Both you and Damo have achieved a lot these past few years. It's OK to chill a little and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Nobody could accuse you two of being lazy or not motivated.
It's not always necessary to keep trying to "achieve " something, when you get too a point when you have what you want and your comfortable and happy then just maintain what you have and enjoy what your efforts so far have got you.
A simple life in the country is what you always maintain is all you need. Seems to me you have that all sorted so relax and enjoy this beautiful life far from the stress of corporate life and the stress of city life. Cheers mate
Bro, brace yourself for your UK trip!!
If you've not really been back and checked the country out for 13-odd years, be prepared to discover an almost unrecognisable country! I'm loathe to join the 'Blighty's Screwed' brigade, but truth be told.... it kinda is!!
I lived in central/West London between 1994 - 2006, and then moved out and have lived in the south-east Ldn suburbs since. The last 20-years have seen sooo many changes. Traffic and crowds have increased exponentially; a lot of the light-hearted wit and creativity of the people seems to have evaporated. Everyone, and I mean everyone seems to be struggling just to get by these days. Obvs Covid kicked this off, but far from improving, it's just got worse and worse, harder and harder.
As an ex-musician I can tell you with considerable sadness that the UK's live music scene has been decimated. So many cool venues, where bands/musicians could cut their teeth, learn to play to an audience and steadily build a fanbase have gone. In-fact, I'd say one of the saddest changes across the last 20 years is a general death of culture. That British cultural identity, always such a proud export and magnet for visitors, has evaporated. There's just an absence of any substantial artistic/creative vibes. This is down to multiple factors such as property prices/rents rising so fast & high that small cultural communities have very few options to congregate in specific areas and generate a 'scene'. Also, the dominance of streaming services has changed live music so noticeably. There's a hugely reduced appetite for gigs, events and artistic happenings. I miss the crackle of new and exciting fashion/artistic tribes...
Everything's ridiculously expensive. Yes, there's been a food/restaurant renaissance across last 20-years, BUT eating out anywhere half-decent now requires a second mortgage!
You can't park or drive anywhere without inevitably getting a ticket or fine.
There's violence in the air - people just don't feel as safe as they did. Friends of mine, particularly women, feel genuinely tense if they have to travel alone. There's a noticeable polarity of ideologies in UK today, that was never overt before. I always celebrated UK's cultural melting pot attitude - but today, it feels like battle lines have been drawn, and different 'sides' really hate on each other.
I could go on.... And I know this probably reads like the rantings of a curmudgeonly middle-aged geezer, lamenting how much better everything was 'in my day'!! Maybe I am - but I've always loved British culture, and for much of my life I felt extremely fortunate to have been born and live in the UK. I no longer feel like this because I no longer can recognise so many things that once set the country apart and inspired so much globally-reaching culture.
Whilst you revisit and recce Blighty, I am doing the opposite. My family are considering where else in the world we might choose to live. Thailand is certainly on the shortlist. as is Portugal. We'll see.
I hope you have a positive visit, and will be very interested to follow your journey and see how you find things. One thing's for sure - you will find a very different land.
I left the US, in 1998 returned in 2019….an absolute different nation and people. Here still, and I live in utter isolation. Angry and stressed!
I visited in 2022 for the first time . I couldn’t wait to get out, back home. A real eye opener. Far from my imagination of what the UK was. 😢
I have a miniature schnauzer that my vet recommended neutering at 5 months to prevent some behaviors. He did jump at my son who was 4 at the time and gave him a black eye. I took him to training and the trainer said that my son should give the dog treats and work on teaching him commands to facilitate a relationship.
Yes this is what we are working on now - congrats that it worked out for you 👍
One thought to consider regarding Alfie is that with all the people and activity around he’s been exposed to a level of chaos he’s not adapted to. Something as small as the cardboard incident would offer more a building of tension and with all the changes and concerns on everyone’s mind he’s also a bit challenged.
Where are you thinking about travelling to in the UK in March?
Ever thought about 360 degrees cameras like the insta range ? They will upload to TH-cam in 360.
Sorry to say I found GoPro not that good compared to DJI, Insta or similar brands.
My uncle who was a shepherd and bread collies which he loved always said that a dog is only one step away from a wolf and never treat them as a extra baby or member of the family as any breed can ‘turn’ on family members.
Good vlog as usual
Yea I’m not so impressed so far to be honest - mainly with the sound 🙏👍
Good to hear the farm and family updates Ryan. Sorry to hear about Alfie biting Otis. They are both young, hopefully all will be resolved as they grow older together. I cannot think of a reason other than family to go back to the UK...Do you feel obligated to reciprocate, because your parents have both visited you in Thailand ? Up to you, not something i would spend time and money on, yet my age and situation is entirely different than your.. peace and love to Y'all
Family and I am also called out a lot on the channel for talking about the UK while in Thailand do we will go and see for ourselves 😁🙏
sadly the UK is getting worst in many ways make your visit short not 3 months it wrong to give this advice as your UK family is important
3-4 weeks max 😁
Have I missed some parts, what happened to the other house you started to renovate down the road, ????
Hugo resembles Otis so much, even more so when Otis was younger (they could've passed for twins).
I can understand damo wanting to stay with her dad. But there s plenty of other family to help with that. Be nice for you as a family to go on holiday. Hugo not been away. Doesn't know outside life
@@lillianrosbottom7366 hopefully soon - he came to T-Rex caravan park with us but Damo left early with him 😁
Any gravel sold there? Placing gravel along the paths would do wonders to your deeply rutted muddy paths.
we have a large dog, and did not fix him until 2 years old.
that was a huge mistake.
he was insane and very quick to be aggressive.
more than once i had to dominate him.
once fixed a pure joy.
dogs want to be the top dog.
imo
I am thinking this is going to help the situation massively 🙏
@@thenakedguru Many feminists what to castrate men. Is our natural state so bad? Do we need modified?
My German Shepherd growled at me when he was pre 1 yr old… he never did that again… as I had to be the alpha male in our relationship I was aggressive and assertive. I’d like to think I was more assertive, the end result was a beautiful well heeled good natured friend for my young daughter, also my best mate for 13 or so years❤❤
@@brettdickinson620 Agree. They are the Alfa until you are.
Thanks for another interesting vlog Ryan, sorry to hear about Alfie biting Otis. Very strange. Hope Otis is not too traumatised and that they both put it behind them. You may be right about the jealousy, but as I am not a dog I cannot be sure. Like your father I worked solidly for 47 years after leaving school at 18 so that I could retire at 65. But I always tried not to worry too much about things or let situations get me down. Your analogy of how wonderful a dogs life must be put me in mind of a passage from the Bible. Matthew 6:25-30 Jesus says, "25 “So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things-food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body-and they are far more important than what to eat and wear. 26 Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat-they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food-for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. 27 Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. 29 Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you, O men of little faith?"
This has always been my mantra, "Worry and anxiety are wasted emotions" and if we can get to a stage in our lives where we can shed ourselves of the burdens in life, only then can we live in peace and tranquillity. Now at 76 I am almost there, and Isaan has helped me so much to relax completely. Yes, Ryan, although you are only a young man with plans, take time out to admire your achievements relax and take a leaf out of Alfie's book and live a dog's life or a bird or a flower, and your life will be so enriched. God bless you, Damo, Otis, and Hugo always and keep you safe. 😀❤🙏
Mate great work as usual, hey let the yin/yang roll, enjoy your family , structures and all that goes on kids grow so fast,
Really the vlogs! Thanks again for sharing always. Looking forward to the next one.🤩💯🙏
Dog bites my child then it’s gone. Especially if the child wasn’t being mean or aggressive. I have followed you for years now and admire your dedication and commitment to your family. Family first pets second.
I agree Edward - though the specific circumstances lead me to believe this was a mistake and not an aggressive act towards my son 👍
@@thenakedguru You were there and I respect you decision but, always a but isn’t there, is it worth taking the chance of it happening again. Your child was lucky to have not been permanently scarred from the bite. Plus it is my opinion that that type of dog is not really the type of breed that does well around children like a golden retriever or Labrador. It is more suited to a retired couple or single person. Just my opinion and I will not say anything more about it. Best of luck and keep up the great videos. Look forward to seeing them every week.
@@edwardsnover4303thanks for your concern - if there was a directed instance of aggression without the extenuating circumstances I would have to rehome Alfie for sure 🙏
Shocked at your choice to possibly further endanger your own tiny defenseless children from an animal. As father and grandfather of many, I would never weigh a situation in favor of an animal over offspring.
@@jlf2221 little dramatic - we are talking about a 6 month old puppy that accidentally bit my sons hand in an attempt to catch food - they play and sit next to each other everyday with no problems 👍
I never know what to believe online. Some people say the UK has significantly changed, and some say the negativity it's overblown fear mongering. So yes, I am very curious to hear your reflections about the UK should you choose to discuss your thoughts online at some point.
Yea. This is one of the reasons I want to go back and see for myself 😁🙏
Kanchanaburi is my favorite spot in Thailand. Been many many times. Never stayed but eat at the J/Frog for Brekkie. Mate RIP Ting Tong Tony had a bar. His widow has it now. Nam, Ting Tong Bar! Nearly opposite Pongphen Guesthouse. How old is the mutt? If over 1 year they can get more territorial and agressive if you nut em!
I'm sorry to hear about the dog. I hope your jud is ok. As a dog owner for 60 years, I have learned that once a dog bites a kid, it's done deal. I friendly dog near took off 25% of my girlfriends face. 125 stiches, 3 plastic surgeries later, and she almost looks normal. The owner said his dog never bit before. Heard that so many times.
He is only a 6 month old pup and I think because it happened where I feed him and he thought food involved 👍
@thenakedguru that's pretty likely if your boy was near the food during a feeding event or even afterward, for that matter. In general, my dogs aren't allowed to eat until I say so. The dogs wait regardless if i walk out of the room or house. When my wife feeds our dogs, they behave in the same manner. My food, her food, kids' food, the dogs food. Pretty much in that order. A snap/tag is a bit different than a bite. That is something to take into consideration. Choke dee mac
Beautiful video God bless you all always 😋 ❤️ 🙏
Mate, I just stumbled upon this video and you are living my dream life. I have to know where this farm land that you live on is? How much do you pay if you don't mind me asking?
if you raise your dog like a human hes going to try and establish himself as top dog with his siblings, your kids. zero tolerance for dogs biting kids mate.
Just give it a whack mate
They learn
As mentioned I believe this was not the puppy biting my son but instead catching his hand - we wil be monitoring closely and updating 👍
@@anthonypoole6507this must be done instantly? If you do to late it’s confusing the dog
30 seconds is all the dogs can recall when it comes to praise or correction
@gingin21jr agreed, dogs only exist in the moment, he's not going to associate being on the leash outside with something that happened minutes before.
I had a boxer Pitbull mix and right around 8 or 9 months he showed a bit of. I'm a big boss and showed some aggression towards other dogs. I think it was just him coming into adulthood or Boyhood. I got them fixed at 11 months and pretty much all of that went away except for when a dog would jump on him. I know it's not the same as a child but I think with Alfie he might be starting to mature or come into boyhood and he has a little bit of I'm going to be a big boy so maybe you're right. Getting him fixed as he gets a little bit bigger a little bit older. Well shut that down and just keep an eye on him around your children. I think he'll be fine as he gets a little more control of his emotions. So you say or as one says he has a lot of male hormones running through him right now as he goes from puppyhood into Boyhood he'll get it. I don't think he'll be a mean dog
You have a lovely place
What happened to the other house
What's happening with the other land you bought. Are you still going to renovate
We decided to build this studio instead of- postponed the other land for what could end up being a couple of years 👍
Old Dylan in the background. You can’t be all bad. :)
Also. Please. Please be carful with your dog. I had a extremely placid dog, but our young baby sat on her by accident. I could not believe the reaction of the dog, changed into a very nasty dog, dog was only defending herself, be careful, it does happen,
Wow have i been watching your videos for almost 4 years...its been great viewing seeing you build a house and garden and your family. Sorry Ryan but you sound like you are high on something in this video, you are learning from a dog... really...omg. you are trying to think what your dog think about..no doubt about what I would do if my dog bit anyone let alone my son
It wasn’t really a bite though - he thought he was grabbing food and made a mistake I believe 👍
@thenakedguru yes you said that in the video... just think if it happens again and it's really bad... how do you think you will feel if you could have prevented it happening...
@@bobbychan9783had the card (chicken) not been involved and it did not happen in the kitchen where Alfie is fed he would be gone but I will not banish the puppy unless there was a clear act of aggression - they play and sit together all the time which is why I give this lenience - understand the concern though Bob 👍
egad the dog isnt neutered?!? you can neuter as early as 12 WEEKS (as long as he is healthy), and the earlier you have it done the more "puppy-like" it makes them... ALWAYS NEUTER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!! in america, this is the way... i've had animals all my life, and besides not abusing of course... this is the ONLY way i know of to ensure (as much as you can with animals) a REAL friendly pet. hope this helps
Have you got any clips of you playing in the band ? are you self taught on the saxaphone?
Sad to hear that Otis was bitten by Alfie , unfortunately dogs can turn like this suddenly hopefully with training Alfie will stop and Otis will be careful. It's amazing what you done on your land in such a short time it looks so beautiful. Always interesting and informative and entertaining great job as always.
Thanks Michael 🙏
I take food from my dog all the time and if he so much as growls he gets disciplined immediately, only happened once and ever since no issues you have to let them know it’s unacceptable. My neighbours grandson lost his nose to such an incident.
Hope Alfie hasnt been bit by something else and contracted rebies. Best to get jabs maybe? The continued agression would worry me.
how much san pedro cactus can one man eat?
You have show him what he did to Otis tell him NoNo yes get him neutered yes he is getting jealous he's young you have to teach him he needs socialization around people he might have gotten protective over you! I hope he learns ❤ you have a beautiful life there and you have a little paradise there ENJOY
I love wee Alfie it could be jealous y he loves you he would die for you that's dogs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✌🏼💜
Hey Ryan, I live in Thong Pha Phum in Kanchanaburi province. If you have any time, get in touch. It's fantastic up here.
@@zzzzzach thanks we are in fact here now but will be leaving tomorrow 😁🙏
@@thenakedguru Oh man. In the video it says you will be going in the future. That's too bad. I've been looking forward to meeting you.
Chopped puppy nuts on the horizon!
Man you are living the dream
Walking the dog is thinking of nothing, but then that's when good thinking shows itself
Is the Air BnB project off the table? Cheers for another pleasant vid.
We decided so to build the studio you see and so it delayed his project maybe a couple of years 👍🙏
@@thenakedguru Ah good stuff. I can wait!
Does it remind you of Rivington without the hills
"By focusing on rewards for desired behaviors rather than punishment for unwanted actions, you can create a positive learning environment for your dog. Teaching basic commands, using treats, praise, and toys as rewards, and maintaining a regular training schedule are important." Known as how could you prevent your dog's behaviour problems. For your pet behaviour situation, the most effective way to control a dog is through training and positive reinforcement. This includes teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel, as well as proper leash manners. Consistency and patience are key in training a dog, as well as setting clear boundaries and rules for the dog to follow. Also how do you discipline a dog effectively is Effective ways to discipline a dog include redirecting unwanted behavior, using time-outs, and reinforcing positive behavior. Consistency and timing are crucial. Avoid physical punishment, yelling, or any form of aversive training, as these methods can lead to fear, aggression, and damaged trust. That's all I'm informing the ways for controlling pets' behaviour as my sister's dog doesn't earlier in the morning started to bark while my sister, mom and mom's siblings are sleeping, she keeps on barking on 5 or 7 am that's why I'm helping my sister to control her don't rush times to bark anytime in the early morning. Now she is starting to take time to control barking and has started to bark at 9 going to 10 am already as I don't want my sister to waste her working time by wasting it as it's getting better and no more time to bark or else I'm going to bring her back to the pet shop that my sister has bought already. My sister said that I'm helping without any resting time but she still knew that man's best friends are dogs by controlling their behaviours.
Miss the UK... Get real!
Don’t think I ever said I miss the UK
Do you know of any good jazz clubs in Bangkok now I'll be coming next week and when I get to Chiyaphum hopefully I can come say hey to you folks
❤
Don't try and second guess the dog bite situation. You'll never forgive yourself when it happens again, possibly more seriously driven !
Yes real food is better they say that's why dogs aren't getting as old as they should because some of the bad things in dog food
Even docile dogs become aggressive if you try to take their food
Ryan earn to live please don't live to earn enjoy what you have built, a stunning home for your wonderful family, a business based on natural products. What you have is beautiful and I'm pretty sure no one who views what you have been so generous to share with us would ever EVER wants to see you stressed out again. Enjoy your time at a pace that allows you to do so. 🙏❤️🤗🙏🏴
What's next? You have another house round the corner to renovate, haven't you?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The dog needs more time in training
I kept lurchers and terriers that were hunting dogs but they knew never too kill my ferrets or garden animals
I was the alpha and they never forgot it
Educate your kid. Train your dog. Neuter your dog. If food triggers the dog, learn from that.
He can be neutered in a month 👍
THERE IS NO ALPHA!, no pack leader, no boss, no pecking order, it doesn't exist, it's been disproven many times. There is only survival instinct.
I am a full-time, k9 behaviourist and trainer here in the uk. Ryan please don't listen to this advice, you could create a bigger problem. Dogs do not understand the concept of right or wrong. They understand gain or lose. Dogs are competitive, it's a survival instinct. He may be competing for resources. If you share attention with your dog and Tiss at the same time, it may eventually create competitive tension. That said, it could have been a misunderstanding/ accident. Dogs have about a 3 second short term memory. 3 seconds after an event has finished its gone, if an event repeats, an association develops, this can be a positive or negative association. It may never happen again.
Is your dog pushing in front of Tiss when you're interacting with him, is your dog trying to win your attention when Tiss is near you? If so, it's competitive tension.
Having Alfie neutered is a good idea but would not have prevented this.
I am so sorry to hear that Otis was bitten. It is never a pleasant experience having your beloved dog bite your child. Have Otis walk Alphy on a lead for about 20 minutes a day for about a month. Have him also be the one to give Alphy his meals (of course, with supervision). That will place Otis in the dominant position and will curb Alphy’s little nasty behavior.
This title does not fit the episode....
We decided to get rid of all our pigs and Buffalo 👍
This young man knows little about aggressive dog signal - this dog is training your child - totally unacceptable
I believe this was a mistake of the puppy not an act of aggression directed to my son - Moreso accidentally catching his hand or indeed the dog would be gone 👍
That's a Pedigree dog for you too. Bad tempered compared to a Mongrel
Good grief. People flapping their gums, telling you how do deal with your pets. It's none of their business.
Oh no. Dogs should NEVER bite children.
❤👍👍👍🙏
Nothing much happening in uk, just got worse with the drug and alcohol issues, and shop lifters, stay there in the best country in the world...
As a Australian who spends most of his time in Thailand, I watch a lot of U Tubers , The UK , U tubers paint a sad picture of, of a George Orwell, Global Socialist state, where personal freedoms are slowly being eroded ,
Not a place I would wish to visit
Dogs are just dogs. He didn't asked to be kept in the first place. You wanna keep a dog？Its your responsibility to train him then Human
I agree
Your comment is in line with my thinking but against most comments on this video 👍
Its not really a farm bud. Its a hobby farm. My missus is a farmer. You need to be brutal to be a farmer.
Get rid of the dog
Lose your status of Alpha, dog perhaps think he is second in command. Put the kid as a alpha for a while.
I think you are right 🙏
Yes. Have Otis feed him and give some snacks with you supervising at first.
In the hill tribes if a dog kills a chicken, the dog is killed. Not sure what they would do about a dog biting a child but guessing something Draconian.
I hope you dont take this as criticism, just pointing out the irony of life and how there are always 2 sides of a coin. You mention castrating your dog, then talk about how great it would be to live as a dog. Lol wouldnt make this comment to most youtubers, but you seem like the kind of bloke who would enjoy some irony.
I enjoyed he point 😁
Considering the trouble it gets us in maybe I should have added it into my list of reasons the dog enjoys an easy life 😁
Neutering a dog does not stop aggressive behaviour..look at diet do not spoil better direction
It can stop aggressive behavior in some dogs and cats. Each animal is different.
Again I believe this to be a mistake not an act of aggression to my son - but we will be watching closely 👍
I would also like to say...do you remember when you were the age of your son? I know I can't remember anything when I was his age... taking him out of school to go awayon one of your trips to the past... again really. He won't remember anything... he's better staying with his mother and learning more about Thailand culture. Gee i never wrote anything like this before...i apologise for making these comments..but listening to you made me think you really don't know the reality of bringing up kids...the dog has to go. Sorry for being blunt. I will still watch your videos. Bob from England now in Thailand.. and im old man.
Cheers Bob
Actually I would say you don’t know Thai schools they are not like western schools - I even considered taking him out completely
As for remembering - at this age children develop critical skills that they will use throughout their life- I don’t mind if he doesn’t remember but what he learns will be very important 👍
@thenakedguru I understand and I do know a little bit about Thai school my wife is a teacher. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Alfie is still a bulldog, and one recently in the news mauled a child. Sorry it's a warning.
Never understand why people fell the need to have dogs
It’s a dogs life
