As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzfaq.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

It's VERY important to not only reward with treats. If you reward with treats too much then the dogs will expect treats every time, and some dogs may ONLY listen to you when you have treats. So it's important to have a good balance between praise and food rewards

I thought I was being a terrible dog mom for letting my 8wk old puppy have “alone time” but glad that you suggest it Rachel. He’s actually been really good on his own so this makes me feel WAAAY less bad about letting him have crate/play pen time!

I am so happy when she comes out with a new video

I don’t even have a dog but I like watching these anyway.

Today I hand fed my 6.5 week old puppy for the first time. Breakfast was a little messy with her being way too excited and jumping up. Lunch was better and at dinner she sat the whole time. I've been teaching sit for the past week and I'm so happy she's figuring it out🥰

pov: your watching videos like this before your puppy was even born 😂😂

I have watched so many different trainers and I truly like your training so much better. You can tell you truly love and care for your pets. You don’t let them get away with claiming and jumping on you while you are talking. 🙋‍♀️💙🕊

Love your positive energy 😁

so great love all your videos

i’m obsessed with your videos 💓🐾 so helpful!!!

Your videos help so much! I'm only 12 and I was completely in the dark about my puppy when I first got her. Im so glad I found your channel because she already is behaving better since following your advice.

I love Wally!!! Thanks for the teaching Rachel! Your the best!!

I love getting to learn more of how to take care of puppies it's so much fun!❤

tysm Rachel for all of the things you teach me about dogs! I've learned so much about them! I love whenever you post new videos. I'm new to this channel, but I ADORE it! Keep up the AMAZING work!

Loving your videos. We're waiting for our doodles to be born and are so excited to get a good headstart!

Thank you for this video!! A lot of this info will be helpful for my 12 week white German shepherd

Thank you so much now I am so prepared for a dog and I now what to do and what not to do

Im getting a puppy tomorrow :) Thanks for all the hacks and tips

I have been binge watching puppy training. Our puppy will be coming this month. I am loving your positive praise and reward system. It is a more fitting learning system for me to apply. Thanks for making these!

Aww I love the thumbnail, it shows how much Wally is growing 🥺

I just got a golden doodle and I watch all of her vids and they help sooo much!!!

Your videos are making me feel so much more confident about bringing home my first puppy! Thank you!!!

Hey Rachel. I really appreciate all the high quality content you’re putting out there. We’re bringing home our first puppy this weekend and your videos have helped prepare me and my family on what to expect and for the challenges ahead on being a dog parent. Cheers!

subscribed when I got my 9 wk old poodle and you have helped me so much! A year later, she is amazing and I take her everywhere. Nobody asks if she is a service dog as she is so well behaved and brings so much joy to EVERYONE. Thanks for helping make Miss Daisy a lifelong success!

You are VERY good! I just joined your page. I have a two month goldendoodle and he’s in training ♥️

I watched your videos all of 2020 to prepare for my puppy, I got him in September and he is AMAZING! He loves training and playing outside! Thank you, Rachel, for your help!

Your videos are so knowledgeable! I don’t get tired of saying this. I’m getting ready for a puppy and I’m just soaking all these up and taking notes! Thank you for all you do and all your pointers to help us be well rounded pawrents 💗 so appreciative!

Thanks for the great tips! Wally is SO big now!!

Thank youuu! I just got my puppy Wafer yesterday and this helpped a lot

Thank you for the helpful videos. I am getting my dog in may (the litter is born in march) And I am so excited.

I am so appreciative on how you have so many information in one single video. I’ve been following your advice and puppy care instructions. I feel so understanding and everything makes sense. I have a baby Doberman here, pray for me lol she’s in potty training mode. Your videos give me motivation. Thank you

I’m getting my puppy next weekend and this channel has helped so much!

We got a Bichpoo puppy in February and have followed your training methods for potty, crate and daily training. It’s been awesome and he has totally gotten it. Thank you!

ahh thank you so much rachel this was reallyy helpfull!!!!!❤️

I love your videos!! I just started watching. I'm getting 2 miniture labradoodles tomorrow. I've been so excited! We have been working with them at breeders since they stopped feeding off mom. You definitely have helped with so much. We want to be able to take them everywhere with us. Do you have any videos about training pups to travel? We take a lot of vacations lol

I love your videos I’m getting a puppy fist time being a owner and I’m so nervous but it’s a set up for success watching your videos ❤️‍🔥

yes!! A new video😍🤗

This will definitely be a need for our puppy! Thanks Rachel! #saveallthedamndogs

I can’t wait

Thanks I am getting a Pomeranian in Easter very helpful

So helpful! Clear, succinct, comprehensive. Thank you Rachel!

Yay!! I’m so happy this video came out today. We get our puppy on Friday 😊

Thank you for making these videos and for saving all the damn dogs. It is because of watching your videos that I finally decided to start fostering. I am now on my second foster puppy (the second was adopted in 13 days thanks to Facebook networking). It is definitely tough sometimes but so rewarding. Both of my foster dogs were rescued by a rescue group from a high kill shelter in West Virginia. I have even gotten my kids involved in the process and even though it is hard to say goodbye, they love that they are literally saving these dogs' lives and are so proud of that. The training tips from your videos are super helpful in the process too! 💖

I'm getting a goldendoodle on the 19th! I'm so excited!!

I like the pace of your vids you get a lot in there quick

I am getting a puppy in a couple of months and your channel is so helpful! I did notice that when you threw the treat of the grass so that your pup can use their nose, finding food off the ground can lead to bad habits when they get older. Love your channel!!

Im getting a puppy chow chow and this is going to work for me thank you!!!

just so you know these training videos are invaluable to training my puppy- thanks so much for giving such comprehensive, reliable information on raising a puppy

10 days before I get my puppy! Thank you!

This comes out day before my birthday! What a treat. I’m getting a puppy in December so I’m watching everything I can before he arrives.

Rachel, LOVE all your videos. We are preparing before we bring home our puppy and happy I came across your channel. I have a question on Thuja, do you have a brand you would recommend?

Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say: thank you, because you have helped me so much with my new pup!

Rachel has helped me so much with my 9 month hound mix i found her channel before i got my wonderful dog and her videos helped me so much soo much love for her and her family! #saveallthedamndogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We are getting a Australian labradoodle in may, thank you for the video it is so helpful!🐶

So excited! I recently got a new dog a month ago! I’m sure this will help with some training still :) I wanna say thank you for all you have helped me Rachel! THANK YOU!!!😊

Puppy was napping in my lap as I watched this and it was a good, healthy reminder to place her gently in her crate for the remainder of her nap. :) We try to balance cuddle time and alone time.

This video is SO helpful. I just tried the “yes” marker and it worked!! You make training fun. Thank you. 🧡🧡🧡

Hi ~ just joined your channel and love it. Getting our pup in a week. Have you got a vlog for night time sleeping in a crate?

Thank you so much for your tips !! Day 6 with my new labradoodle and he knows so much because of your helpful videos ! Seriously thank you !

Love your videos! I would like to see a video on leash training your puppy! Thanks

just wanted to say how much I love your channel, you are so inspiring to aspiring dog trainers like me, and I really look up to you. Thank you so much Rachel, you don't know how much your videos mean to me. ❤️

Hi i was really wanted to know what are the best dog crates for my puppy can you make a video about it

I loved this video and love your videos all toughter and I always find them helpful like with getting them toys and bones on rainy days or if I’m at work for long periods of time and my mom lets them out threw out the day and I always take amazing care of my dogs thirthy mintunes in the moring thirthy mintunes at night and fifteen mintunes at night around my house your videos have also helped me owner training my service dog

Hi Rachel, love your videos and I’m using your advice for my new pup I’m getting next week. Regarding crates, do you recommend putting puppy pads inside their crate at night just incase?

He’s so fluffy!

🎉🎉🎉CONGRATS ON 160K RACHEL🥳🥳🥳

hi tysm!!!

I am finally getting a baby pug in a few weeks!! Just doing enough research before it comes so I can be the best parent ever!!

Hi Rachel

Thank you so much rachel, i had it in my mind that i wanted a velcro dog, but i realise now thats a bit selfish of me, i suffer from anxiety and general bad health and im having to give up my career in breast services which is heartbreaking for me, but i feel getting a pup now that im gonna be home so much is a great idea and will help with the anxiety of the change and help me to still feel useful to someone! But the last thing on earth that i wiould want to do is create a situation where my dog is upset if im out of the room or had to go somewhere without him. Im really going to take on board your advice and let my pup self sooth for short periods even from the start when i get him home, i have anxiety myself and i would be beyond heartbroken if i made my pup suffer from it too. I find your videos really soothing, i can see the love that comes from you and love your dogs. Love your mums dog and finnigan! My little guy is called teddy and im picking him up this week ( hes a cockapoo)

Getting my pup today! Got my digs crate yesterday 🎊

Hey Rachel can’t wait for the premiere and I also just got a lick mat haven’t came yet I’ll update u but I have a felling my 60 pound 6 month old labradoodle will love it he loves licking and can’t wait for the video also how can I get my dog to stop chewing his place mat

Hi Rachel. Hope all is well thank-you so much for these great videos! Quick question is it possible to link the treats you use for training. I know you mentioned them in the video but I am not sure if it is the topper ones or boosters, I am a little confused. If you or anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Hey Rachel--thank you for creating such awesome videos. I've learned so much binge-watching your channel! I'm adopting a 2.5 year old Alaskan Malamute rescue this weekend, who loves cats, treats, and people--but isn't crate trained. We have two cats, one is 5 years old and thinks he's a dog from having spent plenty of time with dogs, and another who is a year old and hasn't spent really any time with dogs. We live in a two bedroom condo-style apartment, and the anxiety I have about disrupting my younger cat is compelling me to reach out to you in fact. The way our apartment is set up, there's really no feasible way to keep both of our cats separated from a 90 lb Malamute when they've been running the roost around here for years. We could keep them separated for a day or two, but that would require keeping our cats in a room. This is something I've considered, but in a way feel it may not be fair to give general roaming rights of the apartment to the new comer over the current residents. Plus, they've never had a dog in their space before--they've stayed for a week at a time here and there at their grandma's house with 2 Bernese Mountain dogs. By the end of the week, our younger cat would lay within a few feet of the dogs. I'm putting gates up on all doors leading to rooms that extend off our open-concept living room/kitchen and we have several tall cat towers already for our cats (2 in the living room alone.) We're getting a crate and will begin crate training him day one (thanks to you!) Do you have any additional tips for helping make this crazy-exciting and also nerve-racking transition as smooth and LEAST stressful for my babies as possible? I really don't want them to resent me or our new dog, or for their personalities to change because we are saving another animal by bringing him into their domain. I would appreciate any pointers!! Thank you again for creating such helpful and anxiety-easing content. I'd be a mess right now had I not found your channel.

Hi ! I love your channel and I have been using it to train my puppy (9 weeks old) we just got her 3 days ago. I have been working with her and hand feeding. I was wondering how long you hand feed for or if this is something you do for their whole life

Just a little tip for people doing recall. Call your dog back 10 times before actually putting the lead on because if you put the lead straight on they will not respond to come or their name or whatever word you are using because they think you are taking their fun away. Thanks for the video Rachel!

I’m getting a puppy, I’m waiting for the shelter to email us back. I can’t wait your helping so much

I love your videos! They are very informative. As I watched the one on fleas and ticks i would like to know how often should i put 1/6 teaspoon of raw garlic in my puppy's food? Breakfast lunch and dinner and every day? i live in Conn. and we have deer and obviously ticks. I am so afraid.

Thanks 🙏

Another great video Rachel! 2 requests :) one is a video on potty training bells and the other is additional videos on introducing puppy to cats. I am getting my puppy Thursday and have a 4 yr old cat that does not like dogs and I’m so nervous but I’ve watched your video that you have about 6 times so I’m taking every step per your advice but I’d love any additional videos. Just praying everything goes ok!!!! Love both my babies! Thanks for all you do!

I’m so excited! My parents are considering of adopting a puppy from the shelter during in April, I can’t wait! 🎉🎉🎉 #saveallthedamndogs

Hi Rachel, we are planning to get a golden doodle puppy soon. SO EXCITED!!! Our breeder recommends getting the NuVet supplements. If done for the next 2 years they will increase the warranty by 2 years. Can you tell a little about this if you know?

Do you have any tips/hacks with having two puppies and training them together? Or things like how to stop their "play" fighting?

gotta say, you got my puppy's attention when you went "puppy puppy puppy" (and he was snoozing too!) haha :D

I think you trained him really good! I think, Most doodles are hyper! LOL 🐾 and are you getting a 3rd puppy? And he was also the cutest puppy!

Wally has grown so much!

Thank you so much rachel i have a 4 month old puppy this will help so much and hes the dog in the photo hes a lab

I get my new dog this Sunday. I have watched all ur videos to prepare myself and family. You are amazing Rachel! My home is model home style and I hope to potty train my Maltese soon 13 weeks soon. If I am taking my dog out every 1 to two houses to use the bathroom. Does ur guidance mean I do Not need any potty pads at all? I guess Incase of emergency or me being gone for a long time! Do I just trust the process with a crate with no potty pads. At what time do I start not taking the puppy out at night or cut back to 3 to maybe 4 times taking him outside instead of every hour?

Hi can you make a video about how to stop food aggression on dogs? :)

Thanks for these 10 tips... Puppy isn’t here yet, but will save this video as I know this will greatly help. Wally is getting bigger and bigger! 🐶

OMG Rachel thank you so much you are the best! everyone else who watches her videos: SUBSCRIBE RIGHT NOW! This channel is the best thing that has ever happened

I just got my girl and she’s fresh out of the clinic after a spay so she took a long nap woke up and I let her out fed her a really small amount of food but I did like you said hand feed it to her only when she was calm and seated and she learned it so fast! It didn’t even take me ten minutes now if she thinks I have food she sits and waits looking at me she’s still not particularly good with the word sit and touch but in fairness she just had surgery and it’s day one she did have an accident but I should’ve caught the signs was ready to go and it’s pouring outside but so far these tips worked extremely quickly

So many great tips thanks! How 12 week old lab has got sit, touch and stay well but we can't get her to go down. Any tips? I would love to see a video on the down command, thank you!

Getting my puppy on March these videos are really helping me💗

Are you able to possibly post a video about how to introduce your older dog to your new puppy? Or has this already been done?

Getting my goldendoodle March 19th! He’s a chocolate guy, RosKoe🐶🍫❤️

I am super excited and cant wait for the premiere!!!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🙌🏻🙌🏻🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 Save all the damn dogs ! 🐶🐶 I gave my cousin a pig 🐽 snout chew to him for his birthday 🎂 (he got a new puppy 🐶) his puppy finished it in one ☝️ day ! He is going to buy more for his puppy 🐶 at the store! Super happy that I found those pig 🐽 snout chews !! I found them at Petsmart which was surprising I also got a pig snout for my dog and a bully stick! They love them so much and yesterday I got some chicken chews for my dogs the only ingredient is chicken and I’m pretty sure there were some sort of syrup thingy in them too 😕 I think it was a preservative or something which sucks but it’s only two ingredients which is pretty good it was like $22 for a 3 pound bag!!! Thank you so much 😊 Rachel for teaching me about dog treats, chews and food!!! We used to give our dog rawhide but thanks to you I know not to do that anymore! I really hope I get to meet you one day!! 🙂🤗😊❤️🐶❤️🐶
