      Great tip on showing your dog to be with others. This is good especially for service dogs as they need to learn it all. Vaccines see dogs naturally for more info. Better to wait until after 4months for vaccines especially since they should just be at home. I only use positive training and not rubbing nose like they told me as a kid. They even said scold and hit them. It was awful. After my dog was a year old I could tell as a kid how bad that was but back then they did that to kids too sadly. I took over my dogs training and changed that. The bad advice actually made training harder. Kikopup and Pam's dog academy has great training videos for those needing more positive training tips. Great video Rachel. Blessings to the journey

      I rather like the term *advocate* for your dog. Your dog still looks up to you as the alpha of their pack. But that means you are the one being responsible for guiding them through a world that is governed by human laws not dog laws. I truly believe that thing you need to advocate for your dog encompasses that Concept in a way that the other does not.
      you also aren't at risk for raising an aggressive dog if you're advocating rather than dominating. Language is important! Thank you for sharing that ❤️

      I do agree, for the most part. Although sometimes aggression can be genetic or be caused by an accident that was out of the owner's control.

      @Oliver Chambers Positive Reinforcement, Negative Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Punishment.
      Positive Reinforcement - adding something your dog likes (ex: giving your dog a treat for sitting). The dog will associate their behavior with something good and will repeat that behavior in the future
      Negative Reinforcement - taking away something your dog doesn't like (ex: dog pulls on the leash and hits the end of the leash, you apply gentle pressure. The pressure is released when your dog comes back to you and walks nicely). The dog will associate their behavior with losing something they dislike and will repeat that behavior in the future.
      Positive Punishment - adding something your dog dislikes (ex: your dog pulls on the leash so you give him a quick pop on his collar. he dislikes that). The dog will associate their behavior with something bad and won't repeat that behavior in the future.
      Negative Punishment - taking away something your dog likes (ex: your dog snaps at your fingers roughly and gets too excited to get the treat. You pull your hand back and put the treat away). The dog will associate their behavior with losing a good thing and won't repeat that behavior in the future.
      Positive means to add and negative means to take away. I hope this helps

    It's so refreshing to see someone has had the same problem of separation anxiety from spending too much time with the dog. When I got my rottweiler, she was to be my service dog and so we spent every second of every day together through her training and because I didn't work. As she got older she had a harder and harder time being away from me, I couldn't even go take a shower without her crying, I would ask my service dog friends about it and they would dismiss me saying that that was the dogs job. But i soon realized it was far beyond that, she didn't want me to be out of her sight at all. It was one thing I told myself after she passed that when i got my next puppy to be a service dog that i would do differently, as much as we want a bond with our dogs, having a dog be sad and cry just because you checked the mail, or went to take a shower is a bit much.

      @@briancalifornia1 She is now almost a year old and perfectly healthy and happy. In fact, one time about a week after her last vaccine (she was meant to be out after 10 days but I miscalculated) she got some sort of allergic reaction to flowers or dust which passed after a few hours of rest (while waiting at the vet's office) but good thing that happened because the blood test revealed she had anemia and we tackled that problem early on
      Anyways, I know it might've been dangerous but she was always 5 steps away from our home and being taken outside often got her more used to potty training and we could get an early start on teaching "don't eat that" since that was the only possible danger for her outside

    I literally had a lady tell me how awful it was that we took our 10 week old puppy on a quick trip to a pet friendly store. She asked if she had all her shots when I said she’d only had her first ones; she then told me she would NEVER take her dog out before it was fully vaccinated. We needed to get our pup out because she doesn’t like the car and I felt short trips would help her get over that. She really made me feel bad. Thank you for reinforcing that I’m not a terrible dog mom. ❤

    Great suggestions! Especially about socializing your dog while they aren't completely vaccinated. My vet actually suggested it as well, once my dog had her first round of shots. Of course avoid dog parks or heavily trafficked areas of dogs. I brought my pup to friends' houses, on car rides, and walks around the block. It's really important to encourage new experiences during their first couple months of life.

    I just got a Shiba Inu puppy 3 weeks ago. I've been binge watching your videos! So helpful! I love your channel! My girl is not fully vaccinated yet, so I've been concerned with taking outside. But I really wanted to make sure she didn't miss out on experiences and socialization. I bought a dog backpack which has been great. And I walk her around the block in my neighborhood in the daylight do I can be sure she's not getting into anything that could hurt her or feces from other, possibly unvaccinated pups. Thank you for all the great advice and suggestions!

    We used to take our dog on carry walks where we'd just walk while carrying them for 10/15 mins to get them used to city noises etc worked like a charm without them having to walk on the ground and potentially eat something the shouldn't! We'd also let him smell trees and anything above dog height to get him used to the smells without the chance of coming into contact with other dog germs

    Hi Rachel! Just wanted to give an update because it’s been a while!!! We got our golden doodle Max August 9th and we thought he was just the cutest little thing. We were prepared for all the biting and barking but the minute he hit 4-5 months he was just a force of nature. He ripped all the furniture to shreds peed and pooped everywhere and stunk up the room. And a couple months later we are doggy free and gave him to family friends. Your videos definitely helped us and we obviously recommend you to the people we gave him to. It was probably are fault for being underprepared and thinking he was gonna be like Fin and Harley but yeah. Thanks for all the help and as always..... #SaveAllTheDamnDogs

    I used a leash in the house to keep my puppy close to me so I could keep an eye on her. This worked brilliantly for potty training (she was asking to go out at the back door after only 1 week!) she killed that! However, she now has bad separation anxiety! I can’t even go to the bathroom without her. If I leave her in the lounge, she cries and cries even when she is with my parents! I feel awful as I know I have caused it!

I'm trying to find ways for her to feel comfortable enough with me leaving the house, or even my bedroom to use it.

    I agree with you about all of these!! GREAT advice. They need to learn it’s ok to be alone and mild separation anxiety is ok. I have a 10 week old puppy and at first I couldn’t even put her in the crate to take a shower. I decided to just let her cry it out a little and now she knows she will be let out very soon! Also agree about getting them outside. They need to see other dogs and people and hear noises! It’s good to be educated on how parvo and other common puppy diseases spread and then be smart about it. And yep you can start training them right away 😊 my pup knows sit, down roll over, stay, and look already.

    I got a carrier sling and I walk around my town with my puppy! She's 1 vax away from being able to be put down on the ground, but her "new things" anxiety has already come a VERY long way just seeing/hearing/smelling all the cars, traffic, people, other dogs, shopping carts, etc. It also allows her to meet lots of people during this time where she can't go the park or trot along walking paths, etc.

    @animalobsessed1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Yes! All of these! When I was walking my puppy around the neighborhood, I constantly had random people telling me that she shouldn't be outside, or questioning me about her vaccination status. One person even crossed the road just to tell me this. I always just replied to the question "Does she have all her vaccinations yet?" with "She has all her age appropriate vaccinations."
    Even the vet kept telling us never to bring her outside. After her first vaccine, I had to go home and argue with my husband to make him understand why that's bullshit. It's not like I was taking her to the dog run!
    I feel so bad for all the lives that are ruined by this crappy advise. The most common cause of fearfulness is a lack of proper socialization, not abuse!
    Luckily I've never encountered the "rub your puppy's nose in shit" advice. That one seems to be out of fashion now.
    I wish I could practice giving her to other people as well, but I don't know anyone who would take her (at least not for free).

      @@toffi5710 I agree with you, dogs of any age especially of any age could get fleas and ticks if theyre not on preventative medicine.. Also puppies who arent vaccinated for Lepto-- a bacteria that is spread by dogs simply sniffing the urine of other animals such as mice and raccoons or by coming into contact with stagnant water. It's a risk for clinical diseases such as liver and kidney failure. And then theres also the chance for your dog gets an Upper respiratory infection because of an owner's negligence -- good luck paying for the antibiotics (a cost that couldve been prevented)! ALSO IN MOST STATES, ALL PETS NEEDS. THEIR RABIES VACCINATIONS (for your pets safety, the owner's safety, other animals safety , and overall PUBLIC safety)...

      One time, we let our puppies out, my mother made sure they did not interact with other dogs but a week later we realized they had contracted distemper, 2 weeks later they died. Now we live in a very populated city, we just had learnt that many stray dogs in our area had cases of distemper. I guess it's our fault for being careless but we wanted them to experience being able to run free. It really is risky. We barely had enough money to take care of them but we did our best:(

    • @sierratorres4695
      @sierratorres4695 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You may not see the other side of why people tell you these precautions, you were lucky that your puppy at the time did not contract distemper, parvo, leptosirosis, etc., others aren't as lucky. Veterinarians tell you not to walk puppies outside before they're fully vaccinated because they're the ones who see how easy and often it is for puppies to contract these deadly diseases. Not to mention if you're able to catch it in time, how extremely expensive it can get to treat it. These puppies, if the owner is able to afford it, stay in isolation wards for days on IV fluids/antibiotics/pain meds, trying to coax them to eat as they continue to poop blood. The smell is horrific and these poor puppies are in so much pain.
      Bottom line: get their vaccines done, wait till their 16 weeks for walks outside, avoid risking your puppies life. DO socialize your puppy from 8-16 weeks in a controlled environment (your house/your fenced backyard) where you know the other dog has had all their vaccines. Take them out, but hold them as she did in the video. It's just not worth the risk of your puppy potentially dying when all you have to do is get 4 rounds of vaccines and wait a couple weeks.
