He's such a gorgeous, well mannered pup. I don't know how Victoria resisted stealing him
😂😂I was thinking the same thing. He's such a sweetie. Those eyes!
I know, I _love_ American bullies. 😊🥰
I love that this lady got help as soon as she felt overwhelmed. Pets are always more work than expected, and especially a puppy when they've never had a dog before! It shows how committed she is that she got help so quickly and didn't let things get completely out of control
Yes i will admit i wondered why she never did any research and didn’t realize he was a puppy and not a bad one just very regular puppy things! But that being said she instantly reached out for help most people dont till they are 5 abd about to be rehoused with bad habits
I completely agree. I’m a first time dog owner of a cane corso, I did do plenty of research… am prepared to reach out if I need extra help
"He's like a child". Yes. A puppy is a child. Puppies are incredibly high maintenance, especially if there is no other dog in the house. She said he's scared to walk? He's a puppy! He's never seen that much movement before in his life! He's never been that stimulated before. Come on!
my thoughts too! i was so mad at the mom as the kids seemed to understand the pups needs better! he's just a puppy, of course he's gonna cry!
an 18 week old puppy is like having a 2-3 year old toddler around.
@@tanyasobsessions2131 Chill out, not everyone knows how dogs work. Its not taught in schools how to take care of a puppy, so calm down.
@@appleglassjuice11 but then they shouldn't have gotten the dog?? it doesn't have to be taught in school, people should take responsibility and actually know what they are getting themselves into
@@jazzercize7715 Idk who you're talking to because that's literally what the lady did in the episode. She was responsible and got the help she needed and learned how to take care of a dog.
Ah yes. "I got a puppy and did no research on how to care for a puppy, therefore he's a horrible dog!" People never see their own failures in what to expect. This is the calmest pitbull/American bulldog puppy I have ever seen. He's so sweet. He's just a scared baby who has not been socialized at all. Poor dog.
Oh shut up will you? They are asking for help. Don't judge them.
Here’s the thing though, she realized she was going about things the wrong way and that what she was doing wasn’t working for them, and made the decision to get a trainer. That’s a responsible owner. She needed help, and that’s okay, everyone starts somewhere, and from that she got a lot more insight on how to properly go about things. Don’t shame someone for learning.
Why so rude? She said in the beginning that she thought long and hard about getting a puppy and probably did research. Even if it was the bare minimum research she seemed ready to learn more.
I feel sorry for her children too. You can tell everything revolves around her at the expense of their own needs.
@@3_up_moon In what world did you get that assumption from???
Quit projecting 💀
For once, she's not dealing with ignorant people with an out of control dog or people buying a dog for the wrong reasons. This is a very cute puppy and the people just need some guidance. He's a sweetie!
What a great family to ask for help while he was so young! He's sweet and calm now, but from experience I've seen that clingy dogs can become SUPER anxious and obnoxious if not treated to socialize early on. It's great that Victoria has built up her business that she can work with open families who just want to help their pups rather than the more toxic ones she used to work with in earlier years.
are you referring to the US episodes of the show?
@@tanyasobsessions2131 😂
I can confirm, by first hand experience, that molossoids are 100% velcro dogs (but I'm a Dogue de Bordeaux momzilla, so I'm not complaining 😜), and separation anxiety is no joke...
Totally agree. Victoria is the best. I had a puppy just like this but maybe even worse. We worked really hard at socializing in an attempt to build her confidence in the world but because she was so fearful, and we forced too much too soon, it ended up making her more anxious. 2 years later we are still working on confidence but are much more knowledgeable and capable. But it's so much work to try and undo your mistakes. Building confidence and foundational skills (like teaching them their name) are so much more important than obedience and what people traditionally think if as socializing. This is so great that this family learned these things so early on. They would have ended up with a very anxious dog otherwise. And I know first hand how difficult that is, especially when you know you contributed to the problem (before you knew better of course)
All these people on here commenting about how this family did no research. The pets on this show are scheduled months before filming, there is a long vetting process and setup before Victoria comes out. This family likely called Victoria when they knew they were getting a puppy, and agreed to do the show so they filmed their new puppy owner struggles in preparation for filming. I think the episode is great, because the purpose was specifically to help me puppy owners learn what to do with the same problems almost every puppy has.
Excellent points there.
Agreed and it is precisely for that purpose that I'm watching! In preparation for (some day down the line) getting a puppy. It is amazing to have this type of episode, available for free!
Guys, theres nothing wrong with new to dog/puppy parents needing some guidance and not realizing they may be doing things wrong or misunderstanding things. Everyone has to start somewhere, no one is going to magically know all the answers or know exactly what to right off the bat.
He has the SWEETEST face!
and blue eyes too!
I really appreciated seeing Victoria take on a family with zero experience with dogs and so early on too! Majority of the people who come to her have usually owned the dog for at least a year or more?? As someone who has never had a dog also, this advice was so insightful. Victoria is so patient with both people and pups, she genuinely wants both parties to succeed.
Genuinely curious Klo Star, if you've never had a dog, what attracts you to this channel? What do you get from it? Thanks in advance for your insight.
@@joanbennettnyc I've never had a dog either and personally I just love learning about animals and I'm in school to become an animal attendant. Also, other people in my life have dogs and it's good to learn how to interact with them better
@@joanbennettnyc I suppose you could call it 'Future Planning' haha. I've always wanted a pet but have never been in a position to own one, watching animal/pet videos kinda fills the void. Plus I grew up watching Victoria so its also a bit nostalgic :)
@@klostars BEST possible answer!. You'll make a great owner. Thank you!!!!!
@@jenniiemi Amazing. You'll do well! Thank you.
I’m curious- either Victoria wanted to put out more videos about puppy care and how to start out orrr, this family did absolutely zero research on how to care for a dog..
Definitely the latter since the mother seems clueless on puppy behaviour
They're definitely clueless, which is the #1 common theme on Victoria's show. Many of them get dogs without researching even the most basic of knowledge nor enrolling the puppy in puppy school. But it would be a great idea for Victoria to do a puppy training series.
@@victoriabeckfinat225 I recommend all new puppy owners to watch Stonnie Dennis on how to get a cool calm and confident pupper.
Interesting, maybe you’re right that the team/ Victoria wants to show normal puppy behavior and how to work with puppies. He was suuuch a good calm boy! My puppy was wild 😂😂 a good boy, but a furry tornado nonetheless
you would be amazed how many people do zero research before getting a dog, they think puppies somehow just acquire or come with all the behaviors and knowledge that the people want. Thankfully this family got help, a lot of people just get sick of dealing with it and stick the poor dog outside in the backyard and ignore it except to give it some kibble.
He's got his tail and ears and look how GORGEOUS that is!!!!!!
I love american bullys with their mini flopped over ears
When my dog was 18 weeks, I couldn't leave the door open. He would just run like the wind out the door with the whole household chasing after him 😂 What a well behaved puppy
Mine would follow me around everywhere at 18 weeks. She didn't start door dashing until she was around 8 months old.
It becomes a game to them, pure panic for us but not for them.
I’m a first time dog owner… I would be so scared if my boy door dashed others may be too😂I be trying to train him constantly for his fullest potential
I mean... Could he get any damn cuter? 😊💗
I don’t think so…
Omg!! Right?!@ he's an absolute heartbreaker!! Lol!!
That is a seriously well behaved puppy, he doesn’t do a lot of things puppies still do at that age, I do have to say that just hope that the mom has taken the advice as well as I think she has and does well with Shaq.
It makes me so happy that the family was open to shifting their mindset about him, and realising they had the wrong ideas. He seems like the sweetest little guy.
He's a cutie, and I was actually surprised to see how calm and well behaved he looks (at least in the episode!). Honestly they seem to really have lucked out with this lil pupper. And the way he looks with love at those kids - you know they're gonna be best friends for life. Good for them! :D
And it's clear the kids love him too.
Shaq is so chill. He was just needed a little puppy training. Very adorable pup.
I haven't even seen the whole episode yet, but a front harness, treats on the initial walk, letting the pup sleep in your room in his crate with favorite toys, and being firm about saying no and sweet with lots of praise will help this little boy
@AneMore-v._u3u_.i I have special greyhound collars like that but my boy is so strong at 80 lbs that he somehow slips out of it
Our 14 week old finally likes the crate but it took 4 weeks lol
I agree downstairs is way too far away from the rest of the family during bedtime.
The kids were so sweet!!!!! And Shaq is insanely beautiful, I'm glad they got the tools and training from Victoria to help him
This pup literally couldn’t be any cuter. She thought he was a bad dog, but she didn’t do research. He’s just a pup and pretty low key. Thankfully she reached out for help and she and her boys are willing to help and learn. It’s great Victoria got to help them early in life
My pit bull cried for the first 6 weeks we had him. Every single night. We barely ever slept. I researched why he’s crying, realized he was afraid, adjusted how I was treating him, and helped him feel safe and more comfortable. Puppies are hard. They’re really hard. But it’s your job to help them learn, and put in the work.
Mine slept on my bed with me and never cried at all, slept through the night, every night. Was no trouble at all.
@@giftofthewild6665 well, every puppy is different. I just got a Dalmatian puppy and she’s sleeping by herself no problem, no crying, just an absolute joy.
My blue pitbull was awesome at just 5 weeks old he would go in his cage and go to sleep but in the morning he will always cry really loud at 7 am because he was hungry lmao
That is the cutest little smush of a puppy I’ve ever seen oh my goodness 🥹💗
Very impressed by these kids! They immediately understand what Victoria says and clearly care for their new friend very much
Especially the eldest sleeping with Shaq to keep him from crying. I mean, Shaq should sleep on his own if the family wants him to but I like that the eldest is stepping up to the plate to take care of him.
Struggling at 18 weeks? What are they going to do when it gets older? I do have to admit he’s adorable
on the other hand, puppies need training and education, and (especially with powerful and headstrong breeds like bulldogs and such) the sooner the better.
so kudos to these owners for realizing so early on the need of establishing a good base with the help of a professional
Yeah, lets start with going to puppy dog school.
Well it’s better to address it now than when he’s 70 lbs and full of muscle….but even then any dog can be trained at any age with the right methods
They are first time dog and puppy parents, its completly understandable that they will need some help and guidance at first
Probably locked in a cage and hated by the owners. It's extremely sad.
I give the owner all the points for calling Victoria while Shaq was still little. He's a solid dog, and it's best that they learn and adjust now instead of when he gets some size on him
I think that the fact that this Mom wants to work to give her dog a better life is pretty cool. A lot of people would just give up, but she called in an expert! Two thumbs up!
This was a cool episode, it was nice to see how actually well behaved that puppy was and even though the owners weren’t very experienced, at least they realized it was best to get help while he was still young instead of letting it get out of hand. It was also nice to see that these guys actually wanted to take their dog out for walks and realized it was important even if the puppy was resistant and scared at first. My puppy is about 20 weeks now, had her since 8 weeks and exposed her to a ton of experiences and started training right away, which is why I think she’s really brave and obedient but I definitely think if I started later it would’ve been much more difficult, so it’s great to see this pup on the right track now!
What do people want? When there are untrained dogs on the show, people get mad because they aren't trained. Now, a family is taking initiative to train their puppy from the get-go and people are mad or bored? I don't even have a dog. I just love watching and learning more about them.
I think it's great this family realized they needed thd help early on. No, they didn't know about dogs, but they have the heart and mind to learn which will be better for the family and the dog in the long run. What's so wrong with that?
Apparently everyone in this comment section is a perfect, angel dog owner. According to them you should be sharing a pillow with your dog and baby bird feeding them. Just ridiculous. They just got the puppy and are getting help and they’re STILL pissy at the family.
I would hug him to death 😅 He is so adorable!
I'm glad to see Victoria just sit in front of the house because personally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the puppy not wanting to go on a long walk. I'm not saying don't walk him at all but rather going at a slower pace to get him used to the outside seeing as he was scared.
also, i'm not sure but isn't there a time when you have to worry about parvo and so that's also a reason too?
He doesn’t need walks at this age . He need to feel safe.
@@tanyasobsessions2131 The owner said he was 18 weeks old so he was old enough to have been properly vaccinated against Parvo already. So, hopefully he was.
My puppy was just like this when he was little! I’d have to sleep next to his crate then sneak away in the middle of the night 😂😂 but he loves his crate now! Also, when we went for short walks, I’d have to carry him AWAY from home, put him down, then he’d walk back. He didn’t start to enjoy walks until he was 10months old. It’ll get better! ❤❤
I can't get over how flipping adorable this puppy is
I just wish more people did homework BEFORE getting a dog. These are not bad people. And I wish them the very best with their pupper. But some research in advance could have prevented victoria even being needed in this case. This was not a special needs dog, or one with trauma or serious issues to overcome. This was just a puppy being a puppy..
If she didn't help them, the puppy would get serious issues later on
my thoughts exactly! i'm glad she came though as if she hadn't i could see this pup developing MAJOR separation anxiety as a result of them accidentally making the puppies fears worse over time.
What are some good care resources you recommend?
I think this is a really great educational tool for other first-time puppy owners. Maybe this family didn't really need her, but maybe several other people in similar situations will see this video and have a better grasp on what to do. Although sometimes I do think first time dog owners should be discouraged from getting puppies, and pointed towards 3-5 year old dogs, as they're usually past their most hyperactive and destructive phases, and can actually be easier to train.
Yes. They’d have been better off starting with a Middle Aged Labrador lol
OMG he’s got such a great temperament 😭
What a sweet little baby, omg. I hate judging people and being on a high horse, but these guys definitely didn’t know what they were signing up for with a puppy. They really are child-like. Puppy stages are sooo hard… but very worth it!!
The mother is beautiful, the boys are handsome, and the dog is just precious.
Mom didn't know what a GREAT dog she had
You can tell those kids have a friend for life with the love they show for the pup, even more so then the mother i feel. I've never heard a person be so clueless about the need to be with someone etc. she took it to a whole new level i feel personally. i kept wondering what they were thinking getting a puppy at all! the mom strikes me as a person who's too impatient to deal with animals in general let alone a puppy! i think they maybe should've gotten an older dog maybe, like a year old, so they didn't have to go through that puppy stage that they were not ready to handle at all. just my personal thoughts and i'm very happy it worked out well and the mom got a good reality check by victoria about what the pups going through as its very hard being so small and in a new place etc.
they probably wanted a cute little puppy rather than thinking about its needs
Why are you judging the mom? It looks like she’s a single mother and we have no idea if the kids father got them the dog. She may have just been angry they got the dog without her permission. At the end, we can see she loves her puppy.
@@timfallas9347 I can tell she loves the puppy but I feel she got fed up with it way to soon overall based on her attitude with it at the beginning with it only being so young. I don't see how the kids could've gotten it without her permission either but that's just me.
Your judgments might be a bit harsh. The Mum did reach out for help after all and she clearly took Victoria's lessons to heart. It's always frustrating when new owners don't do their research; but the dog'll be happier now that Mum's gotten a clue.
Also just going by the fact she got a pup in the first place, the dog was probably MEAN'T to be for the kids, rather than her.
@@timfallas9347 watch the beginning again, she chose the dog. 🙄
So many comments read like they were made before the 3 minute mark...
Can't we just appreciate both the family getting the help they need and how it got made into a video with puppy training tips (never bad to have those around)
It prolly would have been the first that Victoria rang the doorbell on her first visit and there was no eardrums shattering barking / howling socalmanf quiet ... she must be like ... I got the right address ain't I ? 😂 jokes apart that's one good looking dude ❤
This puppy stole my heart. He is so sweet, loving, easy tempered and smart. Very smart! And the owners' first instincts are to love the pup. The boy sleeping on the couch to help the pup is showing such good instincts for what the pup needed, as best he knew how. I think this pup and this family have a lot of love and good times in their future
All first time pet owners need guidance and this is what these beautiful people needed and Victoria calmed their jitters down, I am happy they got shaq when the two boys were at this older stage as it is a lot more easier for puppies and dogs to feel comfortable.
Every owner needs guidance when they begin the first time 😊
A lot of you guys are being really judgemental, remember that there’s a first time for everyone and no amount of research can ever really prepare you for your very first dog. My first girl is 14mo and I’m still overwhelmed sometimes.
They’re acting like people come out the womb knowing how to care for a puppy. Everyone has to learn and they’ve only had him a few weeks. They need to chill.
ya people who dont have anything good to say shut up ! she works, a single mom of 2 boys, a clean house, great kids who are extremely polite, clean, compassionate when people say every great dog has a great owner and its true with kids every great kid has great parents so if you can beat that let all the great
parents and dog parent know how you do it
Fair play to her for getting help when she did. Most people leave it far too late and there are so many behavioral issues
“My puppy is being a puppy! Help! He’s a horrible dog!” No trouble seeing their family has never had a dog. They don’t come with an app. 🤦🏻♀️ And he’s such a sweet and gorgeous little boy. (Edit: Anyone else happy to see this bully has his tail?)
I believe it's illegal to dock tails in England as it is in Australia. But OMG how gorgeous is this pudgy little furbaby!
All the puppies hate sleeping alone. That's normal. Also why having a dog or a cat & not being able to sleep with them.
That's because he is actually a Pocket Bully, they are short, squat, stout versions of the Pit. Thus, they keep the tail, but unfortunately, loose the ears due to cropping. I personally hate ear cropping myself, don't care what anyone says, there is no reason for it. As well as tail docking.
@@lagopusvulpuz1571I have never allowed my dog to sleep in my bed. Associated with poor sleep quality and she licks poo.
It’s honestly weird, but cool. I’ve never seen a bulldog with a tail. 😊
that kid is wonderful. What a guy
He seems like he has a good temperament! He's going to do really well!
18 week old puppy is the same as having a 2-3 year old toddler around
My puppy refused to walk on a leash. I asked the neighbor if I could go with him the next time he walked his dog. It was the best thing ever as my puppy saw how much fun the leash could be with his new friend.
That’s great to hear, but try to ween him off of walking with the neighbor’s dog once he’s comfortable on the leash. Greetings/playing on leash can cause frustrated greeter-reactivity
That's really a well behaved pup
That puppy looked so beautiful and smart. He also looks to be in a good home. I'd like to see a follow up video when he is about a year old.
Honestly this is the sweetest pup I've ever seen. You can tell Victoria fell in love with him too❤️
He's an awesome puppy and he's going to be a great dog. Research is needed before you get a critter people! ANY critter needs to be researched and visited, and thought about before you get one. I'm so glad he's doing well now, thank you Victoria!! I think she was going to take him home if they didn't keep him lol!
I'm IN LOVE with this episode! Shaq is such an adorable baby, the boys are so sweet, and the mom is lovely. They all just needed some guidance because puppies do need lots of TLC. Loved to see the family learn and everybody grow closer. Also, Victoria's excellent with kids, wow! 🥰
Victoria is such a classy and patient lady, you are amazing at what you do miss, thank you for helping our loyal companions
1. What an AMAZING puppy! So well behaved and just beautiful.
2. Good job to the kids for taking charge, learning and growing!
What a great family! Shaq is as cute as a button and the boys are such sweethearts! Mom, you are doing a great job raising everyone. Much ❤
This puppy is just like mine ❤️
She's getting better it just takes time
Victoria is so delightful to watch. The interaction with the loungers was adorable, she's so good at what she does 🥰
It says so much about the son's good character that he cared so much for his little puppy that he would sleep downstairs with him. What a great kid! I'm so glad that Victoria praised and encouraged him for having such good instincts. It was wonderful seeing how much they all care and want to be involved. What a lovely family.
What a gorgeous puppy. I'd like to see what he looks like in a couple of months. The family is so sweet! Thanks Victoria for helping them out. You're the best! Happy New Year!
a bad idea to get a puppy as your first dog without research on puppy care, but im glad victoria was able to help
Why is dog sleeping alone downstairs when everyone is sleeping upstairs tho? Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with that puppy all these behaviors are normal for puppies at that age
easier maintenance. my family had a german shepherd that was not allowed on the furniture, into the dining room or the second floor with the bedrooms. i was a child and really didnt understand why my parents never allowed her to sleep with us but now i totally get it. i still find her fur while cleaning and its been years since she passed. but she honestly loved it, gave her her alone time, and independence.
He's a very mellow puppy.
@@Spyrit2011 yes he is, he is very chill and relaxed. Always focused on the humans, he is looking for instruction from them. He is wicked handsome too!
@@miasomething1354 Well, having a new member of family - a pet - is always a bigger maintenance and you just have to deal with stuff like fur everywhere and vacuuming more often than before. I'm a cat mum but if I had a dog, I couldn't imagine not letting my dog to sit on furniture and spend time time on it (as long as the doggo doesn't destroy it by chewing etc).
@@Silthria no you don’t have to just deal with fur and your dog everywhere and on everything. Seriously, that’s why I don’t eat fro people’s house. I KNOW that y’all aren’t being clean when you have a dog in your house. For some reason y’all always get really lax about cleanliness and hygiene. Dog hair be all over y’all clothes. Ew. You don’t have to completely give your life and sanity over to a dog.
Reminds me of my dog so much when he was a puppy- we slept with our hand in the cage for the first week and he cried a lot. He’s 6.5 now and really chill. Took 4 years to deal with his separation anxiety
I was a little surprised there was no suggestion of crate training.
This little boy's face, when Victoria showed the new puppy bed! 🥰 Cute boys.
The puppy is ADORABLE 😭😭😭😭😭
"Refuses to sleep on his own and has a fear of walking outside"
Lol same 😂
18:31 😂 bless his snoring
Not only are you amazing with dogs Victoria, you are amazing at coaching children in an age appropriate manner. 💕
This puppy.... OMG!! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!
I love how Victoria has aged.. so gracefully...
i love the getting the kids to sit and then tell them off for it but i also feel like that should've been also done to the mom or with her there to understand it too and not just the kids.
Omw that pup is gorgeous!!!! Love the kiddos!
This puppy is so dam cute !
Does anybody else think about the fact that Victoria Would be literally the best dog owner ever?
That's a strange yet truthful statement to make about a professional dog trainer
She IS a dog owner
Omg the way she explained the sofa rule to the kids 😭😭😭😭 I wanna work with Victoria Stilwell and learn from her animal psychology
my mom and i have so far bred two litters of golden doodle puppies, and the only girl who didn’t have her crate in her parents room would cry all night. we told the parents that after having eight siblings, she definitely wants to be with her pack instead of downstairs. they moved her crate into their room and like magic she calmed down. as an extrovert i absolutely love how much dogs can love socializing as well. ❤
A lot of people are talking about research…. But I’m sure there are things that will happen and be learned through experience. You can look up about owning a dog for years but actually owning one is drastically different in some cases.
The reality of owning her puppy was different then the dream played out in her head.
This made her feel she should get professional help to be sure she gets things right. And I would say that’s very responsible to ask for help and not just wait.
The reason people won’t seek help earlier is because of people like in the comments saying “oh you should have done research” they will shy away from the help with all the judgment.
You are very correct. There is no manual on how you raise your specific dog in your specific situation. You always only get generalities or biased opinions.
That said, studying before and during is incredibly helpful. Especially during, because you can see how it works in real time.
Sometimes we need teachers, and that's okay.
Ok but that puppy is adorable
This puppy is just adorable. And i love watching Victoria working with kids!
Getting the dog from a good breeder would have helped prevent a lot of these issues. Both in the dog's genetic temperament (nervousness, lack of self-assuredness, environmental sensitivity) and in the "nurture" aspect (early exposure and desensitization etc)
My puppy came to me at 10.5 weeks right off an 8 hour flight over the Atlantic and not so much as an inkling of fear or shyness from him. Not then, and not now at 17 months of age. Because he has an extremely solid genetic temperament and his breeder did tons of early exposure and desensitization with him before he left her.
It was interesting that the puppy was 18 weeks and they said they got him 3 weeks ago, meaning he was 15 weeks when they got him. I know some breeders do keep puppies for longer to socialize and put a foundation on them, but it seems like this little guy wasn’t exposed to very much since he was so frightened of being outside. I got my puppy at 8 weeks and by 12 weeks she had been exposed and desensitized to a ton of things, and now at 20 weeks she has a dog door and is allowed to free roam our small ranch and will follow me without a leash on hikes and in unfamiliar areas. It just seems so odd to me that this puppy acted more like 8-10 week old than an 18 week old, but so glad the family was able to see what a sweet dog he could be!
i'm happy they seek help early to learn how to educate their dog nicely. very good !
I would love to see a modern video of teaching a dog calmer behavior when he is reactive to cats. My dog is perfect in every other way, except for his attempting to play with the cats. He's a big gsd and these cats are not skittish with the baby gate between them, but he gets so excited when he sees them (brings them his toys, play bows, whines)
Now that is one beautiful pup.😊
Oh my he is giving me puppy fever 🥰🐶😍
An absolutely stunning puppy
Bless this baby land hippo
OMG...I LOVE HIM🐕🥰🥰🥰 how can you not do anything and everything for that Face 🐶
With a puppy like that it would be better to carry or drive him to an area, if there's a park nearby, for example. And then stay there for a bit, or go home from there. Or just sit and let him get used to the sights and sounds. I also think that you should always let a puppy sleep in the same room as someone in the family when that little. Then gradually change that as it grow older and more secure, if you absolutely don't want the dog in the bedroom.
He’s gonna be a big boy!!! Beautiful pup.
It's so sweet kids look exciting when big doggy bed came🥰
And, I agree research before get dogs is the best&responsible thing, but so is seeking professional help.
He’s so cute it hurts ❤
"BAD DOG"?!!!! My heart broke when she said that! I see my dog as my daughter! I can't help with those face and the wiggle butt!
The pocket bullies in the UK look so much healthier than the toad looking gremlins that backyard breeders here in the states pop out.
Yes, that pushed in face needs to be phased out, it causes so many problems and shortens their life expectancy and diminishes their quality of life. Cruel if you ask me.
For me when I got my puppy he had his own little corner in the end of the hall we occasionally left the door open for him slowly but surely he eventually was confident enough to go around the whole house after a month of being with us.
WHAT A BEAUTIFULLLLL DOG😲 my gosh I fell in love instantly 😍
Omg he is just the cutest
"pocket bulldog" is actually an American Bully - ranges Pocket to XL
"It's like having a *child*, and he's become really needy!!" That's because he's a PUPPY! >
