Thanks for watching Puppy Training - When To Give More Freedom. In the comments below, tell us which part of your home you will let your pup explore when it's time to give them more freedom!
I think my 7 month lab will be in his pen for a while in living room. He didn't use the crate inside of it so I removed that so he'd have more room and be safe. So far he seems to love it. I have a cheaper washable rug under it and his blanket. I invested in the higher 36 inch one. My lab still wants to chew wood or other things so I can't leave him on a "hope he'll be ok". Maybe when he calms down more and shows more compliance. I like one of the gates you have linked for my kitchen. I feel the living room, will one day be his first freedom room I turned our kitchen pail around thinking he'd be stumped. Worked for 3 days while in there, then I saw him go to the side and then push it a bit to get to front. Smart in a devious way. lol Thanks for all the tips. I use many.
@@nicoleh5884 still in pen but not all day since husband is retired. He doesn’t chew as much but if gone for more than 20 min I want to know he can’t reach something. ( got my hairbrush the other day) 😊 The pen is large so he’s not cramped and he has blankets ,water and a safe chew. He’s 1 1/2 so we are starting to extend time in living room alone. I bought a. Blink camera also. As my husband said after 4 dogs “ you can’t forget they are opportunists” adorable , sweet but sneaky lol check make sure things are safe that aren’t good for him. Good luck! It gets better
I have just seen the new video that you uploaded and it looks great with a lot of great ideas. And when I do get my puppy I will use a lot of your ideas that look so help full. I do not know what kind of breed I will be getting, but it will be a medium size breed. So M. and pickles and everybody else I say to you Hi from Ireland. :) Mark
Okay cool, glad I’m not doing damage by keeping my puppy in her crate when she’s tired instead of letting her roam and plop down trying to find a good place to laydown
Great video as always. I recently moved Cooper to sleeping in my room but then realized he wasn't quite ready so he's back to sleeping in his crate. After a few nights of protest he's doing fine although I can see him wondering why he can't sleep on the bed or the sofa? 🤣🤣

I got a puppy today!! Been planning it for three years so I’m beyond excited. He cries almost constantly though, even just walking around the backyard with me. Is this normal?
Oh no, so sorry to hear that. Yes, it's normal for our pups to arrive home and be overwhelmed and scared. Have you watched Surviving the !st 24 hours? th-cam.com/video/PHkehb6dSqw/w-d-xo.html
@@HowToTrainADreamDog I had but I just rewatched it and learned some new helpful things 👍🏻 He’s doing fantastic with everything except the whining. He freaks out in the pen. Does okay with the crate though. Trying to remind myself it’s only been a day I have lots of time to work on it haha

I found the case studies to be really helpful.
We are happy you liked it!
Thank God, doing right with my 4 month old puppy ... now I know I am giving him protection and allowing my puppy exposure as well.
Yes! Keep up the good work!

We are glad to hear you learned something from this video! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing this, Jackie! Kudos to you for paying attention to Cooper's response to the change. Soon enough, Cooper! Soon enough.
Thank you. I have a rescue 6 year old chihuahua. She is potting on every bed and dog beds. How to I train her at this age.
I think you should reteach crate training. Good luck 👍
