No one really talks about this, but when having kids and a puppy. Most talk about making sure the dog has boundaries with the kids, but it’s also important to make sure the kids know there boundaries with dogs. This is for anyone with kids and a puppy, or dog. My one dog doesn’t like kids, due to him having trauma as a rescue dog. But my other likes them, but definitely more skittish after a toddler pulled his ears.
I used Blackwood for my German Shepherd puppy. It was a great food I’d highly recommend. It’s grain free and has had no recalls. It’s a great choice of food!
You went overboard with toys? Girl, when I got a puppy I was so excited I bought 44 toys before she even got here. I literally was insane with puppy love 😂
Hey! If you use kibble it is totally fine! Raw can become really expensive so way to still be healthy while keeping the cost low is adding bone broth or raw goats milk on top of his food plus fish oil. We use 4Health kibble and we get it from Tractor Supply.
I recommend the website sniff and bark for when he gets older. They sell harnesses, poop bag holders, collars, small bows, leashes and bandanas. But the special thing about them are that on the harnesses they have you’re dogs name and you’re phone number on the clip. They are little expensive but it’s worth it.
Ooooo poty training is ez put in the bancoli after crate, if u put the dog to sleep in the crate all night in the morning out for poty , after play time,after food, after naps
We feed diamond naturals dog food! It's a high quality food and a excellent price! It's only found at tractor supply or Amazon I think chewy stocks it as well.
We love raw feeding. You can do both. We do some meals raw and some with freeze dried and kibble. Just do the best your budget can handle. Plus don’t over do it on vaccines. I love Dr Becker on TH-cam.
Thank you for this advice!! I have been doing some research and I think mixing raw foods and kibble is the best option for our family. I'm excited to check out Dr. Becker, thank you!!
Yes! Roll up rugs. Wish I did... my puppy used my kitchen rugs as her puppy pads 😣 Had to throw them all out. We also have wood floors. I now put puppy pads but she thinks it’s a toy for her to shred 🙄 I bought the same training treats for my puppy, she loves them! My favorite part was all those cute bins to put toys away or dog things. Check Home Goods there are some cute ones!
I have two dogs but I want a Australian Shepherd puppy, so I have done so much to prove to my mom I am ready to face raising a puppy myself. Ahhh I hope she says yes eventually!! 💕😽
You can also boil chicken breaststroke and shred that and then use small pieces of that for training treats. Thatd what I use at puppy socialising and obedience lessons
I would also recommend nylabone puppy teething rings. I get mine from homegoods(they’re edible) and it helps so much with teething and keeps them busy! I have 2 4 month old shih tzus
When I was potty training my puppy I bought a spray from petsmart it's like 20.00 bucks so you spray it where you want the puppy to use the bathroom and they automatically sniff that and that is where they do it I would recommend one area so they get used to it and they always just go potty at that place
I would suggest not having a bed in the crate and getting a few Nyla bones! Not trying to say it all though that you’re a bad pet owner tho You’re doing great especially for your first time!
Love this video!! I remember the pure excitement and joy of getting a new puppy! I’m actually a vet student and food, I’d recommend Hill’s, Purina pro plan or royal canin! They’re the top 3 foods with the most scientific research behind their product formulations to insure your pet gets all its nutrients that it needs. Often times other pet food brands focus all their money on advertising and marketing, instead spending that money on putting their foods through clinical trials. If you choose to go raw, consider consulting with a board certified veterinary nutritionist to formulate a meal plan that will give your pet all their essential nutrients. Also make sure you buy from a reputable source to avoid salmonella poisoning! Enjoy the new puppy!!! :)
Sounds like you will be a great dog mom!!! We are getting a Great Pyrenees girl the end of Feb. I am over the moon, just like you!! Thanks for the tips. So excited for your family 💓
I am getting a border doodle end of March and have be binge watching puppy hauls NONSTOP.... and with the whole raw or kibble raw is suggested but a good kibble brand will be just fine or you could do half kibble and half raw foods, I’m no expert so don’t quote me!!
Thanks so much for sharing! We are getting a cockapoo puppy next month and it's the first dog my husband and I have had as adults so we had no idea what we would need! This video is perfect!
To help prevent scratches on the couch, floors etc. when he’s older you might consider boots or socks! And just do little sessions with lots of rewards.
hey so i might be getting a mini cockapoo for my birthday, rn i have a golden doodle and we sometimes mix a lil water into the dry food and act like we are mixing, making, adding, to his food so he thought it was a gourmet meal and he loves it sooooo much more!!!!!!
I'm from Canada and feed my puppy ACANA Puppy Large Breed food (kibble). He also gets the ACANA Puppy Bone Broth (wet). It is made in Canada. All natural, no additives, preservatives etc. Very high quality ingredients & very expensive. He loves it. I also buy SuperCan Bully Sticks Variety Pack from Amazon. I give him fresh organic pumpkin once a week along with blueberries & apple slices for treats. He likes the Wellness Puppy bites as well. My puppy is spoiled too with excellent food, toys & lots of love.
I’m getting a golden doodle puppy in 3 weeks on March 21!! I’m naming him Gus🥰 We feed our current dogs Hills dog food and We are going to be feeding the new puppy that as well!
We feed my new puppy Winston raw food. If its too complicated for you you should try freeze-dried raw, which is kibble but much much healthier. That i think is the best opion. Hope it helps!
I had to consult my vet about my dogs food because he had been getting sores and bumps on him due to allergies to all meat types and have special food since he in a purebred lab he has more difficulty in his health and if anything happens go to the vet no matter what, it saved my dog from a alergy attack from steak so it’s kinda hard but I think your food looks ok!
I've heard Acana is a good dog food brand (I don't use it because it is imported as I live in South Africa so its way out of my budget but it should be more affordable for you in the US) 💖 I'm using a South African brand. The best kibble has mainly pure meat or meat by products and look for one that includes some fish oil or fish ingredients because rhat helps keep their coat soft and shiny
Hi! Love the vid! Cannot wait to meet your little guy! I also have a puppy named Luna who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She is a lot of work but very well worth it. I would suggest that you actually use a sheet or a couch cover (can be found on Amazon) instead of a blanket because cleaning up a possible accident or mesh from the puppy would be much easier with a sheet or couch cover (they are waterproof and easier to wash). I also highly recommend feeding a raw/fresh diet to your puppy. Even though some raw/fresh food brands can get expensive you will save much more money on vet bills as your little pup will be much for happier and healthier (btw there are lots of websites and books where you can learn more about raw). I feed Luna a brand called Carna4 which is much cheaper than raw but still gives all the same benefits as raw to your dog! One last thing, follow Dr. Jean Dodds vaccination protocol, too many vaccinations actually cause things like cancer in dogs due to the ingredients in them. Sorry for the long comment. Cannot wait to see Sunny, I also love cockapoos!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 Yeah no problem! Love helping out fellow dog moms! I am sorry if the amount of information was really overwhelming. I just want you to be prepared as if someone had shared this with me when I got my puppy I would have been much better prepared for her (bully sticks are a lifesaver; healthy, helps with teething, keeps them occupied). If you need anything else please ask. I would be glad to help!
Kibble will be fine I had a dog not to long ago sadly past at the end of March but he lasted till he was like 15 and he ate kibble and sometimes canned food but still kibble will be ok
Just got a mini dachshund and definitely recommend rolling up the rugs! Also do not recommend puppy pads, it confuses them making them think its okay to go in the house and can end up making potty training even harder. Totally agree with waiting on treats too because you never know what they will like! When it comes to food just do not get grain free, because it has been causing enlarged hearts in dogs and cats, unless your pup has some medical reason for it. Pawtree is our favorite and what we feed our frenchie and mini dachshund!
So far we've been lucky with accidents only on the hardwood. Of course its like 5 degrees and snowing outside this past week, so potty training has been fun...lol
My Labrador eats BARF Raw diet from 3 months and I am getting my toy cavoodle within 6 weeks. I will have her on raw as well. Balanced Raw diet is the best for dogs.
Puppies are always exciting!!! Looks like you're putting a ton of research into the pup :) my biggest recommendation is too avoid dog parks even when older, they are known to cause aggression in dogs, soread of doggy diseases, and promote reactivity when you come across other leashed dogs in walks cause they can't say hi freely
We also rolled up our rug for our puppy (we have a 4 month old boston terrier) 💖 we made the mistake of rolling it back out when we "thought" he was fully trained and he peed on it 3 times 🙄 but he is 4 months now and completely trained so the rug is out again
you can feed your dog kibble, just make sure it has no by product in it, or meal (you can do meal just make sure it not the first ingredient). you want the first ingredient to be meat and you want no preservatives. i would add some fruits and veggies to it, some fruits that dogs can have are: Apples. Apples are filled with fiber, Vitamin A, and C. omega-3 and 6, antitoxins, flavonoids, and polyphenols. (just don't feed them the seeds), blueberries, they are packed with lots of antitoxins. and Blackberries, they are filled with antitoxins, polyphenols, tannin, fiber, manganese, folate, omega-3, and they are high in Vitamins A, K, E, C. (three would be good) also you can feed them a raw egg, with the shell some good vegies are: carrots, a good source of Vitamins A, C, K. and has good effects on the immune system, and eyesight. Antitoxins, potassium. (make sure to cut in small pieces if your dog is small so they don’t choke. You can also boil). Broccoli- helps fight off arthritic inflammation, and ward off canine cancer, chewing on the stalk of the broccoli alone helps with their immune system. And is a natural tooth brush. Is an excellent source of vitamin A, K, and C, manganese, fiber, and folate. (don’t feed too much Broccoli only 5% of meal should be Broccoli can cause a lot of gas). coconut oil is good for the coat. that's what I've researched, a good one that ill be getting is heritage ranch but ill be adding fruits and veggies with my meal. hoped this helped a little!
Be careful with the Kong toy! My dog had one, but it grew mold on the inside because it’s basically impossible to completely clean the inside, and even if you do it’s also impossible to completely dry the inside. I (obviously) threw mine out and am going to purchase some West Paw toys that are a similar idea as the Kong. Also I highly highly recommend finding a trainer near you! Even if you already know how to train a puppy, training classes are great for socialization and exposure; not to mention fun. Another tip, (sorry for all the tips) tethering is such a great way to make sure pup stays out of trouble, and teaches independence. I like to ether puppies to me with a hands-free leash, or use a regular leash to tether to refrigerator handles or chair legs. Sounds weird but it totally works and pup gets to get used to hearing the sounds of daily life without being secluded to a separate room. Good luck with your pup! Puppyhood is so hard but so worth it. ❤️ One last tip: don’t listen to Rachel Fusaro 😉
Thank you sooooo much for all these tips!! I have been binge watching Rachel’s TH-cam channel! I actually had that exact thought about the Kong last night. I’ve been using the west paw a lot more & it seems easier for him at this stage anyway!
i already have 2 dogs, and i do agility with one of them. They are both shih tsu's and are small, non-shedding dogs. I have done 2 months of hard work saving up for all the essentials for a puppy, also doing extra chores to 'prove' i am mature enough. ive researched alot on what they need ext. Do you have any tips to persuade my parents to say yes to a puppy for my bday? (one month june 1st) id appreciate any shop ideas, what not to buy or persuasive ideas to syay/do for my parents. -ps loved your vid, helped alotand hope the puppy goes well :) (im 13)
i would recommend buying super cheap rugs and just put it in place of where your rugs are now only because the liquid itself isn’t good for your floors so if you buy cheap rugs you can just wash them or throw them away instead of your nice rugs and if your consistent with potty training they should learn quick my 12 week old puppy is already walking down the stairs and barking when he needs to use the bathroom
So I am getting a mini staffie and IAMS Is a great food and there is special foods like for adult dogs and like for their coat so that is what I raised my puppy with and I am getting a new puppy soon 🙃
Hi! I’m an animal science major in college and I recommend trying the hills natural diet, RAWZ brand, instinct raw or a semi raw diet mixed with kibble :) super good for your dog to get all the different vitamins and nutrients from different foods and produce. Congrats on the adorable puppy!!
Great video & Super exciting about the new puppy!! I was laughing as I was watching because we are getting a puppy this Saturday and I also bought the pizza toy from Home Goods!! I couldn't resist it!! Lol!!! I also got the same food bowl mat from Target. :-) You have great items. The only thing I would suggest is Nature's Miracle in case of accidents. Enjoy your new pup!! Adorable name too!!
OMG how exciting!! I hope everything is going well! That's hilarious because I did end up getting some of the natures miracle before even seeing this comment! Congrats on puppy!
Hey! I highly recommend the dog food brand Fromm. It's much better quality than those common brands like Purina, Hills, etc. but still much more affordable than those higher brands like Origen. Plus, it's family owned so you can help support :)
If your worried about the puppy not liking the treats you could go onto pet food express and if the puppy doesn’t like it you cam return it even if the packaging is open!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 your welcome I searched more and I found out that with the puppy I am getting (pug) they put on weight so fast so that is why I have to give him healthy treat but I ma not sure about yours so you should probably ask your vet ❤️🐶
Sunday’s food for dogs is all natural human grade food, no synthetic ingredients, air dried and it is vet formulated. My 3 weenies go nuts for it, Check them out!
You should feed raw food. Kibble doesn't provid much nutrients and is made from meat leftovers. Raw food provides firm stools, shiny coats,s and better health in general. This is the way to go...
That so fun to have puppy again Be careful with the snuggle puppy some dogs can pull out the heart that you put in it you could put it on top the crate it still hear the heart beat just be careful and have fun with your new puppy
With potty training set a schedule so they could hold they’re pee an know oh I go to the bathroom at this tim in the morning but don’t make through distant morning night afternoon and like to other time so the could just go outside
Let’s just go look. This really means let’s pick one out… fifteen minutes later; you leave with a puppy!!!!!! Haha I see stuffing all over your house in the future. I spent a fortune ordering toys and in 3 minutes flat they were destroyed. RUBBER ONLY in my house. Plus clean out sock drawers tie sock in a knot. New toy and you didn’t spend any money.
No problem! Also if you are concerned about the dog biting your furniture and stuff their are these sprays call no bite sprays that you can spray on areas.
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 omg u replied yes we are getting him tomorrow and Yh Ik you had a puppy for nearly 2 weeks how was ur experience what is his/her name

Good video! Getting a cockapoo puppy next week! My first puppy as an adult person! Haven't had a puppy since I was a kid.
Glad I'm not the only one that goes a little crazy with the toys
I’m glad I’m not the only one doing this 😂
@Slimey Oggy So glad I'm not alone lol 😆 I am like oh that's cute she needs that too

I would take up all the rugs. Just to avoid accidents on them.
Ooooo poty training is ez put in the bancoli after crate, if u put the dog to sleep in the crate all night in the morning out for poty , after play time,after food, after naps
I love a cute boot tray for under the food bowls to catch spills and protect the wood floors
We feed diamond naturals dog food! It's a high quality food and a excellent price! It's only found at tractor supply or Amazon I think chewy stocks it as well.
Oh awesome!! I have heard of it. I'll look into that for sure, thank you!!
I’m getting my puppy on the 21st of feb (less than 2 weeks) and I’m so excited she will be my first ever puppy 😍

Great tip!

We bring our puppy home Saturday too!! Congrats, have so much fun!!

Our puppy has been LOVING apples!!
Anything by IAMES but I don’t know too much about dog food either
Be careful with the Kong toy! My dog had one, but it grew mold on the inside because it’s basically impossible to completely clean the inside, and even if you do it’s also impossible to completely dry the inside. I (obviously) threw mine out and am going to purchase some West Paw toys that are a similar idea as the Kong.
Also I highly highly recommend finding a trainer near you! Even if you already know how to train a puppy, training classes are great for socialization and exposure; not to mention fun. Another tip, (sorry for all the tips) tethering is such a great way to make sure pup stays out of trouble, and teaches independence. I like to ether puppies to me with a hands-free leash, or use a regular leash to tether to refrigerator handles or chair legs. Sounds weird but it totally works and pup gets to get used to hearing the sounds of daily life without being secluded to a separate room.
Good luck with your pup! Puppyhood is so hard but so worth it. ❤️
One last tip: don’t listen to Rachel Fusaro 😉
Thank you sooooo much for all these tips!! I have been binge watching Rachel’s TH-cam channel! I actually had that exact thought about the Kong last night. I’ve been using the west paw a lot more & it seems easier for him at this stage anyway!
i already have 2 dogs, and i do agility with one of them. They are both shih tsu's and are small, non-shedding dogs. I have done 2 months of hard work saving up for all the essentials for a puppy, also doing extra chores to 'prove' i am mature enough. ive researched alot on what they need ext. Do you have any tips to persuade my parents to say yes to a puppy for my bday? (one month june 1st) id appreciate any shop ideas, what not to buy or persuasive ideas to syay/do for my parents. -ps loved your vid, helped alotand hope the puppy goes well :) (im 13)
For potty training (we got our dog during lockdown) but we let her out every 30mins
yesss thats what we have been doing and it seems to be working great!
I’m getting my puppy February 26th 🥰🥰
YAY!! Congrats!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 thank you 😊
I am so excited to get my new lil boy his name s Oliver and he is a lab hound mix!
OMG I love the name Oliver! So cute, congrats!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 thanks! I’m so excited for him!
i would recommend buying super cheap rugs and just put it in place of where your rugs are now only because the liquid itself isn’t good for your floors so if you buy cheap rugs you can just wash them or throw them away instead of your nice rugs and if your consistent with potty training they should learn quick my 12 week old puppy is already walking down the stairs and barking when he needs to use the bathroom
Thanks for this advice!! definitely helpful!
I loved your comment “I can’t feed my dog better than my kids”!!! Same...my son eats frozen chicken nuggets too! You go girl!
Just keepin it real over here haha!
We get our puppy this Saturday and we’re going to attempt a raw food diet 🤞🏽
You can do it!
Wow how exciting!! Also quick question where did you get your hat??
I got it from a cute little boutique, www.shopthreedaisies.com
So I am getting a mini staffie and IAMS Is a great food and there is special foods like for adult dogs and like for their coat so that is what I raised my puppy with and I am getting a new puppy soon
🙃
Awesome, thanks for this info!! Good luck with your new pup!
I agree, we foster dogs and IAMS always seems to settle well for our fosters.
All my dogs have been on pedigree except for one my poodle mix she is on science diet due to her allergies.
Hi! I’m an animal science major in college and I recommend trying the hills natural diet, RAWZ brand, instinct raw or a semi raw diet mixed with kibble :) super good for your dog to get all the different vitamins and nutrients from different foods and produce. Congrats on the adorable puppy!!
I was just looking at Science Hill for my two puppies but they were given royal canin while they were with the breeder
Awesome, thank you so much for the advice!
@@briananicolle4531 if you want a certain food for your puppies you can wean them off the breeders food and onto yours over a week or two. :)
Hills and IAMS are my favorite as a foster home!
Great video & Super exciting about the new puppy!! I was laughing as I was watching because we are getting a puppy this Saturday and I also bought the pizza toy from Home Goods!! I couldn't resist it!! Lol!!! I also got the same food bowl mat from Target. :-) You have great items. The only thing I would suggest is Nature's Miracle in case of accidents. Enjoy your new pup!! Adorable name too!!
OMG how exciting!! I hope everything is going well! That's hilarious because I did end up getting some of the natures miracle before even seeing this comment! Congrats on puppy!
Hey! I highly recommend the dog food brand Fromm. It's much better quality than those common brands like Purina, Hills, etc. but still much more affordable than those higher brands like Origen. Plus, it's family owned so you can help support :)
I'll check it out! Thank you!
If your worried about the puppy not liking the treats you could go onto pet food express and if the puppy doesn’t like it you cam return it even if the packaging is open!
oh SO good to know, thank you!
I think you should try to give her healthy(blueberry carrots treats instead of other cos they are healthier And safer
I'll have to look into that, thank you!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 your welcome I searched more and I found out that with the puppy I am getting (pug) they put on weight so fast so that is why I have to give him healthy treat but I ma not sure about yours so you should probably ask your vet ❤️🐶
Hi Hayley I Love Your Channel And I Love Your Vlogs And I Love Your New Puppy ;)💞💖💖I Love Your Children
Thank you so much!!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 You're Welcome:)
My dog eats Nutro dog food more on the cheaper side but still very goid quality $40 for a 28 pound bag
You should try The Farmers dog fresh dog food
I’ll check it out, thanks!!
Sunday’s food for dogs is all natural human grade food, no synthetic ingredients, air dried and it is vet formulated. My 3 weenies go nuts for it, Check them out!
Will do, thanks!!
My puppy is ready to come home on April 11th, and the waiting time is EXCRUTIATING ;-;
omg right, the wait is awful!
Nutro sorce is ready good food
You should feed raw food. Kibble doesn't provid much nutrients and is made from meat leftovers. Raw food provides firm stools, shiny coats,s and better health in general. This is the way to go...
my aunt has a cockapoo called cody :O
i really want a dog and my mom is fine but my dad thinks i won’t take care of it😕
doggy travel water boddle:>
My sister-in-law got us one! So good!
Where did you get it
A breeder in Kansas City!
That so fun to have puppy again
Be careful with the snuggle puppy some dogs can pull out the heart that you put in it you could put it on top the crate it still hear the heart beat just be careful and have fun with your new puppy
Pets stores just have the same as cheap stores but they up the prices 🙄
ugh I'm sure...so annoying
With potty training set a schedule so they could hold they’re pee an know oh I go to the bathroom at this tim in the morning but don’t make through distant morning night afternoon and like to other time so the could just go outside
Thanks for the tip!!
Let’s just go look. This really means let’s pick one out… fifteen minutes later; you leave with a puppy!!!!!! Haha I see stuffing all over your house in the future. I spent a fortune ordering toys and in 3 minutes flat they were destroyed. RUBBER ONLY in my house. Plus clean out sock drawers tie sock in a knot. New toy and you didn’t spend any money.
You should probably get an enzyme cleaner.
omg yes good call! Thank you!
No problem! Also if you are concerned about the dog biting your furniture and stuff their are these sprays call no bite sprays that you can spray on areas.
@@sirisurapaneni9026 okay for sure will be ordering that! Thank you!
When is he coming
We get him a week from today! Thank you for the great tip!! I’ve also heard frozen carrots and broccoli are great for teething!
@@hayleyhendrickson1495 omg not long to go I have to wait 2 weeks after you get yours

Feed him orijen, that‘s the best. ☺️

Dog beds sould not go in crates because they could go potty on it while potty training
