We have a cocker spaniel and a shih tzu and on the 22nd we pick up our double doodle (golden doodle and labradoodle). The tips are so helpful! We have a plastic crate... should I still cover it?
I got my Aussie puppy today, he is extremely shy and MY WHOLE FAMILY CAME it was so annoying bc they kept screaming for him and treating him like a doll 🥲
Thank you so much! My puppy is coming home soon and I want to help him grow into the best well-adjusted dog he can be. There is so much to teach him and I have been so worried about planning training time, whether I would end up giving him too much at once so he doesn't absorb it, or not nearly enough. Your videos have really helped me plan everything out more and relax a bit.
This is our first week with our 6 weeks beagle and your videos which I normally watch in the middle of the night while puppy get ups has been a life saver. Thank you so much
We are so glad you have been watching our videos and found them helpful. And, congrats on your new pup! Here is our New Puppy Starter Kit to get you started off on the right paw! howtotrainadreamdog.com
This is a great video, thank you so much for sharing! Our new puppy (which comes home with us on 4/25) is a Pyrenees/border collie mix. She will be about 8 weeks old. Since meeting her last weekend, I've been in full on puppy prep mode. Watching videos like yours helps to ease the anxiety of what's to come. I even inputed the puppy schedule in my Timely app to help me stay on top of her needs. Thank you again!
so glad I came across this video.. I've been exhausted getting up during the night to let him use the pads. I tried to take in so much information and got overwhelmed so I took a step back from watching them for that reason. I never knew it was this much work!
Brought home our 8 wk old German Shepherd today ❤️ My sister got his brother! He is a real-life teddy bear and so sweet. We didn't bring him home in a crate. He is sleeping like a baby in his crate right now
I’m finally picking my new puppy up in 2 more days! I’ve not had a puppy for over 10 years and this was very helpful! The only thing negative is my country doesn’t allow crates no matter if you keep them open or not but all other tips are great :D
This was so helpful! My boyfriend just surprised me with a puppy today and our home is not puppy proofed or anything and I didn’t think we’d get one for another few months! So overwhelmed but glad I had this video to start somewhere!!!
I’m getting a Lurcher puppy on the 18th of July I have been asking for over a year and researching for over a year your videos are very helpful thank you!!
Puppies are a LOT of work. You got this! Make sure you get our free New Puppy Starter Kit to help you get started off on the right paw: howtotrainadreamdog.com
When we collected my puppy and (tried) to drive out of the breeders drive the mother dog was barking at us and guarding the way, she probably knew that we had one of her pups 🥺💛
Thank you, so much Michelle! I just got puppy yesterday and everytime I have a doubt (all the time) I go to you videos or the course. Thank you for your commitment and love for this work. PS. Watching this video with 14 week old beagle Zuri, on my lap
Michelle, thank you so much for your generosity of knowlegdge and wisdom on all things puppy. It's been over 20 years since we've had a puppy in our home, so I've been binge-watching your videos in order to refresh my memory and acquire all sorts of new tips. Our puppy, Lily the Lab, arrives this week and I think (with your assistance) I'm as prepared as I can be. I know it's not going to be easy, but it's going to be so worthwhile! Thank you! : - )
This is so exciting! Have you grabbed our free kit? You are going to love the potty training advice, and your first puppy training game! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com
I rescued a puppy from a bad situation and we are starting at step 1. However I had dogs growing up so I’m familiar but puppies are totally different. Little babies
My new puppy is 7 months old and full grown. He already weighs over 40 lbs. can you do a video on older puppies? I really do enjoy your videos and have tried to incorporate your suggestions into my training time.
Olivia Kwok hi! It’s gonna be a boy and his name will be Gilroy :) my boyfriend I and are getting him just in time for our first house that we’re moving in around September. So excited!
Hi Michelle! I have a question re the crate. Do I keep it in the bedroom so I can hear the puppy when she wakes up at night? Should I move it to the living room during the day or should the crate stay in one place and I set up a playpen in the living room? Thank you! 🐾

Excellent videos and advice - we love your channel ! Crate training on the second night and it’s going great - so proud of our pup and ourselves too for sticking it out .
Subscribed! I’m pretty good with dogs but puppies are a new ballgame for me. Learned a lot in this one video. I will be watching the rest of them and looking into all your workshops and links. Thank you sharing great content. I have two Plott Hound/lab mixes coming home soon and they’re about a couple months old. This has been helpful.
Great video! Biggest issue, you kept suggesting other videos, rather than having brief information on them which was annoying. I came for insight on how to survive the first week with my new puppy, not to be told to go elsewhere.

We have had our pup for a full week, only 1 accident and it was our fault. She's now a 9 week old Goldendoodle, and still being crate trained. She seems to be understanding quite well where to go potty (outside) and she's taking herself out the doggie door herself when she has to go, during the day. Smart pup. I'm monitoring her closely whenever she's not in crate. I still carry her outside manually to go potty when she wakes up from her crate sleeping at night, (usually after 3 hours she cries and I carry her out, then back to the crate) but I feel like she's progressing fast, and I want to trust her to have supervised access to 1 more room, sooner than the timeline you give. Can I accelerate trusting her to another room, if I keep monitoring her? I love all your videos, BTW

I love this channel. Very informative, to the point and Greta, simple tips 😱 I never thought about that “word association/commands” one. Thanks 😊 and it makes total sense 👌
I plan to let my 2 month old Shih Tzu potty inside the house, because most of us are busy during the day. I hope that I remember to land him on the potty tray!
Using a crate is an essential part of raising and training a puppy. When used correctly with the proper training, crates are like cribs or playpens for babies and toddlers. They are used to keep your pup safe and out of trouble, a place for rest or downtime and are great for a reset or time out. Crates are never used as punishment; “bad dog” [SLAM the door closed]- that’s not what we do when your puppy is getting on your nerves or getting into trouble. Instead, your puppy needs to have a positive association with their crate.
Hi I was just wondering if you use pens in the house don’t they have accidents in there unless you’re watching them every second and even then? As opposed to always putting them in crates instead until their potty trained? Thank you very much
If you're sticking to a potty schedule, your puppy should not have to go while in the pen. It is importnat not to leave them for too long while they are playing in there. The crate is for sleeping and resting, not playtime. Your puppy will need to stretch their legs and move more freely. This is what the puppy pen is for.
We put our puppy in the crate when we picked him up. He cried and wailed all the way home (2 hrs). It was the most stressful drive home 😫 . Hindsight, I wish I had my son sit in the back seat with him.
Aww, so sorry to hear it was a stressful drive home. Here is a video that may help with the next car ride with your pup: th-cam.com/video/npvb4dk8hxs/w-d-xo.html
I just got a puppy dachshund last week she’s 9wks and I think I’m actually pretty sure she’s deaf 😕 I’m taking her to vet tomorrow. My brother is a K9 trainer and he thinks so too. Got her from an AKC Breeder in California I live in Florida. No matter what she has my heart now so I won’t give her back. Please can you do a video on basic training for a deaf puppy....her name is Cannoli so sad she’ll never really know it 😢
I would start teaching her sign language. Its wont help for everything but dogs learn it pretty well. I taught my parents Dachshund yes no and sit in sign language and verbally. Hope this helps
I brought home my seven week old purebred Yorkie last week! She is so tiny none of her halters or collars fit her. I have bought her a kitty collar for the time being.
I love your channel so much you are an epic dog trainer I already told you but I am getting a puppy after valentines day I subscribed and liked I love you Michael my puppy was born on January 1 2021
Hi, thanks for these great tips! I have a question - you say in one of your videos that pee pads are an absolute no no as they give the wrong signals. We're about to get a miniature dachshund and we live 5 flights of stairs up in an apartment. We'll be taking him outside as much as possible but thought that pee pads would be a good back up if we don't make it downstairs in time / he needs to go in the night. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you so much!
Hey! We just got a puppy... we use pee pads at night and take him outside during the day. During the night, we take him out of the crate and put him in the pen with pee pads on the ground and he pees every time!
These videos have been so helpful. Thank you! I have two new little wieners (brother and sister) and am trying to navigate my way through their training. Wow, what a lot of work! It's like I gave birth to twins!
We are glad you have found our videos helpful! We have helped quite a few students through the process of training littermates. Your family might be a great fit to enroll in the Pro-Level of our online course where you can submit photos and videos in our private student-only facebook group for our trainers to review and give feedback to.

Thanks for everything I'm planning for a puppy in a long while so I can save up 😊 Thanks for all the info ❤ Also how should I introduce the puppy to my cats one is terrified of everything and the other has been introduced to a dog before and lived and grew with a dog. How should I introduce them to each other and when?

Aww, so sorry to hear it was a stressful drive home. Here is a video that may help with the next car ride with your pup: th-cam.com/video/npvb4dk8hxs/w-d-xo.html
I just got a puppy dachshund last week she’s 9wks and I think I’m actually pretty sure she’s deaf 😕 I’m taking her to vet tomorrow. My brother is a K9 trainer and he thinks so too. Got her from an AKC Breeder in California I live in Florida. No matter what she has my heart now so I won’t give her back. Please can you do a video on basic training for a deaf puppy....her name is Cannoli so sad she’ll never really know it 😢
I would start teaching her sign language. Its wont help for everything but dogs learn it pretty well. I taught my parents Dachshund yes no and sit in sign language and verbally. Hope this helps
Mike L yes we have started training her she’s doing great with sitting lol once she has that down we’ll try other things thank you
@@Be_Still_ps46.10 glad to help!
I brought home my seven week old purebred Yorkie last week! She is so tiny none of her halters or collars fit her. I have bought her a kitty collar for the time being.
My girlfriend and I want to get a Yorkshire terrier because of space, cleaning fur off of things and her allergies
I love your channel so much you are an epic dog trainer I already told you but I am getting a puppy after valentines day I subscribed and liked I love you Michael my puppy was born on January 1 2021
Hi, thanks for these great tips! I have a question - you say in one of your videos that pee pads are an absolute no no as they give the wrong signals. We're about to get a miniature dachshund and we live 5 flights of stairs up in an apartment. We'll be taking him outside as much as possible but thought that pee pads would be a good back up if we don't make it downstairs in time / he needs to go in the night. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you so much!
Hey! We just got a puppy... we use pee pads at night and take him outside during the day. During the night, we take him out of the crate and put him in the pen with pee pads on the ground and he pees every time!
These videos have helped me so much.
I needed this...SUBSCRIBED!!🐾
These videos have been so helpful. Thank you!
I have two new little wieners (brother and sister) and am trying to navigate my way through their training. Wow, what a lot of work! It's like I gave birth to twins!
We are glad you have found our videos helpful! We have helped quite a few students through the process of training littermates. Your family might be a great fit to enroll in the Pro-Level of our online course where you can submit photos and videos in our private student-only facebook group for our trainers to review and give feedback to. You can also have a back-and-forth conversation with them on one of the three zoom calls a week. Check it out here: www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/

Will be getting my schnoodle July 6th so this is great!
Thanks for everything I'm planning for a puppy in a long while so I can save up 😊 Thanks for all the info ❤ Also how should I introduce the puppy to my cats one is terrified of everything and the other has been introduced to a dog before and lived and grew with a dog. How should I introduce them to each other and when?
