Would anyone say a cage is not a good investment. My pyrrie is 5mo and i have an XXL cage i have her bed and toys in there but i feel like when she's full grown the cage would be uncomfortable
We used a patio chaise cushion because they are cooler for the big fluffy dogs. They loved them. They did not like the beds because it was too warm for them.
Good video. Thanks for your good work. Some people including me would buy all this stuff for our dog. But it's just not going to work like we think. I had a Labradoodle who hated leashes. She chewed through three of them before we simply gave up and trained her to come when called. The chain leash never occurred to me but that would be great. Thanks again
We used to use a harness with our Pyr, but he got so he didn't need it once he got good about walking on a leash and we stopped using it. Though I'm not sure how some people use their harnesses we only put one on Zeus when we went for walks so he associated it with being able to go for a walk and didn't mind it at all. If we left it on him all the time, I'm sure he'd go nuts.
My Pyr sleeps in his bed about 40% of the time (he’s usually on the hardwood floor) but he also goes to his bed to pout if I scold him too much! 😂 So I guess he likes it.
I've used horse leads for dogs for the last 20 years. The 10 ft three ply cotton rope leads to me are the best. They tend to give and stretch just a little bit when the dog goes running to the end of his line. Acts like a shock absorber. And you can get them for less then 10$ usually.
Bought a nylon harness and after a few weeks the dog started itching around its neck so I put my fingers under the harness and the nylon in the harness was actually pricking her skin so we went back to a regular collar leather
We just got the great Pyrenees, she is 9 weeks old today, and she is just the sweetest!! Is it normal for them to nap all day? we have had her for two weeks but she is so amazing and cute! Thanks for the tips, love your videos!
I take mine for 4-5 walks ea day she comes in after every walk nap time 1 - 1 1/2 hour ea nap. I’m training her to herd my chickens. She loves her RED KONG FRISBEE. Learned to fetch come sit potty train and stay I only have her for 10 days amazing sweetest dog ever. 8 wks. I’ve learned so much TU all the comments and training videos are a must.
Leash? Pish, posh. My 82% Pyr will bite clean through an automobile seatbelt! And harnesses? Had two from my previous dog. Maximus made them into 4 for me. But I got him a better set-up with a tactical harness and he seems to like it ok. He will sleep on a dog bed in the shop, but at home he likes the tub, or the tile.
My Pyrenee Bella is the same she loves the floor I guess it is their fur he’s so beautiful my baby is 2 months what about food how much do you recommend feeding at 2 months old and what kind I notice my dog has upset stomach with extra treats she’s very sensitive stomach
Agree on first two. My Pyr has worn a Ruffwear harness since day 1. Your problem is you got a cheap ass harness. His current harness cost $100, but it is fantastic. I can even add a backpack to his harness so he can carry water and snacks while on long hikes. Never a expert problem and he is now two years old and over 130lbs.
I have a 7 months old who tends to bit a lot especially in the evenings when he is fully awake and active. He doesn’t usually bit hard, but the secret is not to pull you hand or arm away quickly to avoid actually breaking the skin. Is this normal behavior for a GP puppy?
Mellow never really had a biting problem. However he would sometimes bite when we would try to bring his inside. He would normally grab the leash and trie and pull it out of our hands.
My 4 month old half husky half gp mix used to have a huge biting problem. Whenever your dog bites try yelping like an injured dog/puppy and disengaging in any activity with them. I also corrected my pup sometimes with just a simple no. Both of these methods have helped me a lot so if you try them I hope you find success as well!
@@TGold10 thank you for your reply. We have been doing that. Though the biting hasn’t stopped the pressure at which he bites has significantly lessen. We will keep at it as we hope this is just a puppy phase thing.
@@TGold10 this is helpful to know. We have had trainers tell us to consider re-home him to having him put to sleep. We could never do that and spend time researching for answers. The issue I’m finding is in the USA there isn’t a lot known about the breed. Even vets are ill informed. One told us to have the dew claws removed. Thankfully there are folks out on the internet willing to share their knowledge and experience. We want to give out GP the best life he can have.
Harnesses are mandatory in our city for large breeds so our Great Pyr didn't have a choice but to get used to it. Which he did, really easily too. Its harness has fabric covering his whole chest though, it's not like yours. He loves his bed but also sleeps on carpets. Not so much on the hardwood floor. Never had a problem with chewing leashes for our Great Pyr, nor the one we had before him. He goes through a great amount of toy-rope though.
Harness can be good but they are not meant for dogs that pull because harness don’t provide as much control. Sled dog harness are not recommended for dogs that pull. I would recommend starting off with something else until your dog can walk nicely on a leash.
She just looks like my male 5yrs great pyrenees.most strange dog I have ever seen.and what ever she is telling about this bread is true.they are awesome dogs but totally different about everything.
Getting a great pyrenees puppy in about 4 weeks you'll need your advice soon
Congratulations on the new puppy!!

DOG bed? I can’t get mine out of MY bed!
Cool video and good information about GP’s Donald @ #moneypithomestead
I get the bed, but why do you let him chew through his gear?

Dog Bed - recommend Karunda -> survived our girl’s digging & bed-chewing stage, keeps her cool (elevated/cot-style), and super easy to clean.
My Pyr sleeps in his bed about 40% of the time (he’s usually on the hardwood floor) but he also goes to his bed to pout if I scold him too much! 😂 So I guess he likes it.
Pyrs like lying on the floor next to a doorway. They have the nickname of Matt dog due to that.

Yeah those would be good too especially since they are a nice thick rope!

We use a horse leed with our 6yr old “Wendell”. Works great!
We just got the great Pyrenees, she is 9 weeks old today, and she is just the sweetest!! Is it normal for them to nap all day? we have had her for two weeks but she is so amazing and cute! Thanks for the tips, love your videos!
Yeah it’s pretty normal for them to nap a lot due to them being low energy dogs! They really are amazing dogs!
Some are more nocturnal - guarding against predators- than others.
I take mine for 4-5 walks ea day she comes in after every walk nap time 1 - 1 1/2 hour ea nap. I’m training her to herd my chickens. She loves her RED KONG FRISBEE.

Puppies are like babies, they will sleep about 20 hrs a day
hey! How do i teach my 4 month old great pyrenees not to bite? he has a major problem with biting
I have a 6 month old GP and he does the same things as mello he bites the leash and to solve the problem we got him a chain leash with works awesome.
We love our chain leash too! It helped mellow so much!

Thanks for sharing. FYI your sisters channel has comments turned off , but let her know her bunnies are so cute. Blessings to you ❤
I will! Thanks!❤️
Sometimes the comments are on sometimes off.

Our GP hates the dog bed unfortunately she ended up chewing it up, for some reason our GP loves just sleeping on flat surface LOL
Mine too she's only 9 weeks and went to the floor instead of her bed lol 😄
@@Gucci_babe lol yeah I guess it’s true that their fur coat is thick enough for them to be comfy

Even with expensive harness he would slip out of them and chew them. Mellow personally is not a fan of harnesses.
i used to 2 of them about 20 yrs ago they were the first ones we had when i was growing up we had shephards and giant schnauzers

@@steamdome9162 yes its a puppy phase thing. The fact that the pressure decreased is HUGE progress though! Good luck with everything!

Harnesses are a must when walking them... get a harness meant for sled dogs, they are confortable.

TFS, Paige. My dog chewed his leash, too.
Danzig, my Pyr likes cots , although he also likes floors, lol.
She just looks like my male 5yrs great pyrenees.most strange dog I have ever seen.and what ever she is telling about this bread is true.they are awesome dogs but totally different about everything.
We have gone through alot of harnesses, Khaleesi can get out of hers🙄😍Thankyou for another Great video🎈🎈🎈
The dogs I pet sit, tear their beds to shreds. It’s a mess to clean up.
Wow, mellow has never chewed up his beds he just refuses to lay on them he prefers our beds instead!
