A poodle, a breed that’s known to be smart. It’ll be good to see the difference in speed and ease of training.

I would love to see a husky! I have always heard husky’s are so stubborn and hard to train. But I would love to rescue one!

How do you keep a puppy from chasing the cat and biting the other dog.

Check out kikopup channel too... Life changing- She's absolutely amazing. The more education the better. And she packs a ton of information into a short amount of time that's extremely user-friendly and great for first puppy owners. She's also extremely creative and Innovative she also does behavioral modification and she has an entire puppy compilation video as well that's about 90 minutes long that I think you would enjoy. Good luck with the new pup!

Congratulations!! I'll second checking out Kikopup channel as well as Susan Garrett's "Dogs That" channel. Both can be immensely helpful.

Me, too! I was worried that something bad had happened to someone or one of the dogs!! I missed Zak, Bree, Inertia, and Biscuits.

Same! Chewing my furniture, clothes, everything she finds outside...

We have just had the same experience. Our Min poodle is at last reliably toilet trained. Our bigger dogs were much easier. He is 7 months old, it was a long frustrating process . We just adore him though and love being able to pick him up for cuddles.

I had this hit home the other day. We use chopped up baby carrots as training treats for one of our little dogs. He scarfs them at home and does everything I ask and is perfectly happy with his carrot treats. Well, I made the stupid mistake of taking him out to a pet supply store with carrots for treats. Did that backfire?? Big time! All the dogs, the other people, the sights, the smells were just so much more rewarding than little pieces of carrots. I finally bought some freeze-dried liver and the difference in behavior was amazing!! Make sure you have high enough value treats when dealing with heavy distractions...

It sounds like your dog has developed a negative association with the crate, so it's a longer process to get them to like it. Personally, I would go back to the beginning. Change the location of the crate and put different bedding in there, and one of your t-shirts with your scent could also be helpful. Sometimes putting a blanket over the top of the crate can make it more cozy. In addition to Zak's methods you could try feeding him through the side of the crate - I did this with a dog I was helping who had the same problem. I sat at the far corner of the crate (on the outside) and stuck my fingers through with a tasty treat. This is after I had dropped a couple in and the dog had run in and out to retrieve them. I had to sit for a minute or two while the dog worked out that she needed to go inside and take the treat from me. Once she went in and took the treat, I fed her a succession of treats. Then a break and then we'd do it again and it became a game to her. If your dog doesn't work it out or is too nervous to go to the far corner of the crate, you can start by holding the treats through the holes close to the door and then bit by bit move further away from the door. After a while I was poking the treats through from the bottom holes, which encouraged her to lie down to eat them and I slowed down the treats so she was having to wait for them. I was quite surprised, in this particular case, in a few hours she was relaxed lying in the crate and eventually had a wee snooze. I was able to close the door, move away from the crate and sit in a comfortable chair. When she woke up and stood up, I opened the crate door so she didn't feel trapped. This was one session and with another dog it might not have progressed so quickly, they're all different. Another thing you can do is hold a chew through a hole of the crate, while they chew it, so they don't just grab it and run out. This all takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it. You can also set up a mattress for you beside the crate, while you get them used to sleeping in there. I wish I had a happy successful ending to tell about the dog I was helping, but despite the human seeing the progress I made within a short time, she was not willing to put in the time, even with my help and decided to rehome the dog. Full disclosure: I'm not a professional trainer, just have a few years experience with rescue dogs, but hopefully I've been of help 😊

Mine is 4 months and the same. Will not go in the crate except from feet only to grab a treat. She's a border collie. Never had a negative association with crate. She's also afraid of her new leash!!!

@@ShannonsChannel if you see any nervousness around the crate she probably does have a negative association, you might not have observed anything that would have triggered it though. If it is fear, rather than a bit of nervousness, you're best to involve a Vet Behaviourist. A qualified reward based trainer will be able to see what you're dealing with.

The brand name on the crate says "Diggs."

At what age/stage can you let your puppy eat outside of the crate with your older dog?

YES, mine too!!

Yes, yes, and yes!

It sure sounds like she's being submissive to men. This isn't an uncommon problem with rescue dogs. When you have men visit your home, try letting the man come in, sit down, and get settled before letting your dog greet them. Likewise, if the man can squat down, that may help. Someone bending over (looming over) a dog will result in some submissive urination--that can be pretty scary to the dog. If the man is "shorter" (sitting or squatting down) before petting her, that may help. It will also help if you have men greet her by petting her under her chin or behind her ears (rather than on top of her head). Many dogs don't really like to be petted on top of their head. Let me tell you a little story about me. I'm a small person (I stand 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh under 90 pounds--and I'm full grown adult). One way to get my ire up? Pat me on top of the head. That makes me so angry when people do that!!! I don't like it--and neither do most dogs.

Actually You can say : "Stay" - Check "Knows and responds to her name" - Check "Come when called" - Check What a great success !

I would say that he did it because he realized she was capable of it within that session, you can tell she's pretty smart! I often see Zak push things a little, because he has a sense that the dog will be able to succeed and of course, sometimes he'll be wrong and have to rewind a bit. For the most part I think you're right, keep things simple in initial session and work up to more complicated things, especially because most of us aren't professional trainers and might not be able to gage the puppy's ability to succeed.

Uhh because while your dog is still crying and freaking out at being locked in their crate his will be happy and sitting calmly early. Not that hard to figure out. Sit and stay are essential commands for a puppy, especially stay. Dogs aren’t “dumb”, you don’t need to teach them everything in baby steps.

@@lindseym.9191 I would NOT let my dog cry and freak out being "locked" in the crate. I'm not a heartless monster.

@@lindseym.9191 hey let's not be rude to people who have genuine questions. I'm not a professional dog trainer (meaning that I don't have official qualifications), but from my experience training many different dogs, I have seem that dogs, like people, are all different and what the way they learn best differs from one to the next. I don't think that you are ever wrong doing things in baby steps, especially when you're dealing with things that there can be significant nervousness around. And this is the message that I have received from professional dog trainers too.

I read somewhere that young dogs go through phases and they go through a fear stage. It's normal.

@@lillyess385 how do I make sure this doesn't carry on till his adulthood ?
