“Your dog doesn’t need dog friends...they need you to be their friend.” Man, what a great statement.

Larry is too underrated. Straight to the point with no nonsense. Which is especially important for puppies who will become large to extra dogs. Love all his stuff.

We just got a rotti pup and he is a biter. He's a lover too, but boy does he get in moods where he really growls and bites at my wife's ankles and our kids. We have learned more from this video, and a few others than anything else we've read online, watched online, etc for the past four days. Our pup is almost 8 weeks old. We are definitely going with the crate training asap. Larry, I love your straightforward mentality. It's refreshing!

Very informative...my pup comes home tonight. We are excited !!!

I'm getting a puppy and I have not had a puppy in a long time. And its a Gordon. I have my work cut out for me. Came across your videos in my research. I have 6 weeks to prepare.. These are really helpful. Thank you for these!!

The first week with our pup was so stressful! I found your videos and the second week AMAZING!!! NO more accidents puppy is sleeping more biting less .. thank you so much!!!

As always, very practical information.... Thank you Larry.

I'm glad you make these videos. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Larry!! I emailed you about the exposure just last week, and I really appreciate you putting out this video!! And my catahoula pup thanks you even more 😊

Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Love your videos, 💯. I always recommend your videos to people.

This video is literally gold. Thank you Larry!

Clear, direct, accurate and VERY IMPORTANT! Thank you Larry

Thanks for sharing all of your great knowledge Larry! I respect you as a professional trainer and appreciate you taking time to make these informative videos.

Hey Larry, I’ve been watching your videos for few weeks and I find them very helpful. Keep posting your awesome videos I personally appreciate it. Thanks for your valuable information and as you say peace ✌🏼😉

Super helpful. There is so much info out there, but you break it down and I feel confident with our new puppy.

Perfect!! Love your direction! Couldn’t agree more with all these insights!!!

Love, love, love your car talk videos! I've learned so much! Thank you for sharing your dog knowledge for FREE, your advice has made all the difference in my life with my dogs. Can't thank you enough. Please keep the car videos coming! 😊

Great video Larry. You are the best in my book. Thank you.

I love the in-car videos! Keep them coming. I’m bringing home a Rottweiler/Doberman mix puppy next weekend and these videos help tremendously!

Love the wrap up 😂. I love you and sit and watch your trainings for hours. I might even end up in KY one day with one of my pups. Love the info. This was a new perspective for me, I like it!

This was so helpful! We have a 9 week old Doberman and your videos have been so great to watch.

Amazing video. This was a great review of info you presented in other videos. I found it super helpful since we are getting our first puppy in July!

Thank you Larry!! Please keep the videos coming. I took a step back from training for a while because of other trainers and I was miserable. I have learned alot from you and hope that continues. This video helped me remember I am doing it right my way. We have very similar views on training. I appreciate every one of your videos and you. Thank you again. Sarah

I have learned a lot from your videos! I've been binge watching them since bringing home my 11 week old labradoodle 2 weeks ago! Keep them coming please!

Love your video. Thanks so much for making it. I just got a 10 week old shepherd week ago. Definitely going to follow your advice .

Thank you so so much for these wonderfully informative vids! You sir are a godsend & I commend all the effort you've put into helping us, especially for free 😃🐕🐾

Thank you so much! Been following your videos and it’s really helping my pup.

Thank you for your work and sharing of your experience and expertise!

I love your content man no bs and you always get straight to the point

Of the dozens of channels ive watched, this is the best and most informative, real training, i love how you work with the dogs in the vids, like forreals real world problems you show us how to fix.

I love your style my kinda guy. I'm driving home with my new pup in my lap following every video you made on new puppies. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you for each and every video! I have learned so much from you! Keep doing them. They are very helpfull ! Thank you!

I’ve went thru a shit load of trainer videos, being that I’m getting a rotti pup next week... my last one was 20 years ago... I’ve waited a long time for this moment. Anyway, out of all the videos I’ve watched, or tried to watch, I keep coming back to yours! Keep it up brother !

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much. I have two 3.5 month old pups and this really helps.

Awesome video! Just saw you on the Shield K9 Podcast and love your content! Thank you!!!

We have a one year old havanese dog. When he was a puppy,i used all your advices about potty training and he learned it in less then a week(he had only one accident in a house) so I say,thank you for your "words off wisdom",for me they mean allot and there is always something to learn from you. Thank you,Larry

Larry, I'm hooked on your videos. I love the no nonsense, holistic approach (Exposure not socialization). I find them the most helpful and effective.

Well done Larry....very well done. When you speak, it comes from your heart. It shows man...stay solid...stay strong. Cheers..

Thank you for sharing all you do. We love your videos and your openness. Thanks a million from Australia!

Thank you!! Keep up the fantastic work!! I bought your book also! LOVE IT!!

Just found your videos; Thank You, just what I need right now; getting my puppy in 2 wks . Let the haters waste their own energy hating.

I am so grateful for all your videos you are the Lorax speaks for the dogs!

Love your suggestions. Best ever. I will use it. My Rottie comes home in 5 weeks. Best advice ever

Great video. Such good information. Thanks Larry.

Great advice. Thanks. Bringing my puppy home in two weeks and can't wait to be as OCD as you!

Well said! I've learned so much from you. Thank you!

Thank you so much!!!! Just got a new pup. Your videos are helping my daughter and I with our new pup

absolutely helpful! i keep up with all your videos

Great tips. Thank you. Just got a 7 week GSD puppy

Another outstanding lesson......I watched the influencing video first.....but this is another MUST WATCH....I'm going to continue to look for more.

This is amazing! Have a 12 week old Rottweiler at home and your puppy biting and this video have been exactly what I needed to not only be more informed but to make me see I am doing everything I’m suppose to be doing and it’s not hurting him it’s beneficial. Thank you!

Keep up with the great videos. I'm learning a lot before I get my next dog, which will be the Cane Corso. I'm taking get notes. Thanks

I am really impressed w this info thank you!! I am going to send this video to my chiropractor son who is like 18 and carries around the puppies and probably needs this information!!!) thank you 🙏

I watch your videos over and over again and I always pick up some new tidbits. They help me for my own opinions on what I feel will work with my situation and then table other suggestions that you offer for another day or another dog. It blows my mind and irritates the hell out of me that people will sit there and write comments about a video like yours claiming that you don't know what you're talking about, or your advice is wrong, but they fail to invest any time out of their lives to give me the other side of the fence so I can form an opinion and figure out what will work for me and my dogs. And the fact that you have so many videos and so much content out there for free is invaluable to somebody like me who just can't afford to go to structured dog classes and when I find myself, lile now, needing to undo bad habits, from a work-at-home lifestyle that seems like it should have been really easy to invest time in my puppy who's not sucking monster turned out to be just the opposite that I feel like I kept putting him in front of the TV like a little kid to keep them quiet so that I could work and now I'm dealing with the repercussions of trying to undo bad habits that I allowed to be created which I know is on me not him. Thank you Larry, I will continue to watch every video you put out, I subscribed to your channel I like every video I watch and if it seems relevant to a friend of mine who's having a problem or could find you thought of watching your video I pass it along, because I know every dog is different situations are different even what part of the country you're living in create its own challenges like I experience this past winter dealing with one of the coldest purses snowiest Winters in my neighborhood wear it was hard to take my puppy out to go to the bathroom because he couldn't walk in the weather and now I have bad habits so again thank you for everything you're sharing with people like me so that I can undo bad habits that I'm living with right now.

Can’t wait to implement all of this advice with our pug puppy in the spring

I get my Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy mid july 2020. OMG!!! AWESOME VIDEO! GREAT INFO!!! BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE END IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it seriously!!

Larry! the "place" training is going great with my new Rotty! We even do a "spread em" like you did! We even named him Bruno after your old boy! Thanks for all the tips!!!!

thank you so much for your videos man. Really appreciate it.

Every time I see this man I think it is the special forces dog handler I worked with in the army. Almost looks like twins.

Watched this video before we got our Showline GSD. Beautiful dog, well bred dog...everything Larry said in this video is spot on. Now he’s 14 1/2 months and what a love he is. He’s traveled perfectly cross country in my Yukon several times. Will stay in the backseat for HOURS. We went to US Sieger show and while we didn’t show him, we went/camped with a family and their 2 VA males. Aggressive type males. Without our pups foundation it would hsve been a train wreck. He’s 80 lbs of all male...and will stay contently in a canvas crate!!! He’s a high drive male to boot! Crate train, expose, be consistent. It’s work but it’s rewarding! Next pup coming home in 5 weeks. Thanks Larry !!!and I’m from Nashville. Sounds like Percy Warner or Radnor Lake😬 I was the webmaster for TN State Parks for 10 years. I’m biased.

Very interesting! Thank you for your time!👍🏼

Thank you for posting :) more puppy videos please, i really appreciate the information and insight

Had my 8 week old rotti for a week now, I just stumbled upon your videos and it makes me happy hear I’ve been doing this right. Especially the potty training. I need to expose more but it is very cold where I live.

Amen brother, perfectly put. I cannot stand using the term socialization because it's not the same for dogs as it is for humans. I'm going to start using the term exposure in place of socialization as that word really portrays the meaning behind what we want people to do with their puppies. You're right, if they are watching you they are fans and they are looking to learn something. There is no room in this business for egos or people guarding information as we all have learned from someone else who freely gave their advice or charged a small fee for their time. We all have to eat.

I get my GSP puppy next week. Love your car chats...very, very informative! I've been adopting adult dogs for the past 25 years, the puppy refreshers are extremely helpful! The difference this time is that in a month, when pup is 12 weeks old we'll be moving into my converted ambulance and hitting the road! Talk about exposure 🤗 Thank you Larry!! Sadly my adult pointer died last month, I was planning on him being a mentor dog, but we'll be okay.

Always helpful. Thank you!

Larry I'm the same ,totally on the pup. I don't even bother getting undressed so I can pick pup up and get them out on the grass. Agreed ,to much freedom causes problems.I also agree with exposure,great word Larry. Great advice. Thanks : ) Note, Leads are necessary with Pica issues though .

Thank you so much for all your videos I can wait to get my puppy (corso) Next year. I'm taking this opportunity to prepare myself.

Getting a 8 week French Brittany in a week in AZ. Taking in all the info. Thank you Larry!

Thanks for the info, getting ready to get a puppy this weekend. Great info it is going to help a lot.

Larry, really appreciate your no nonsense communicative approach. I'm considering bringing home a lab puppy next month (currently have a 7 year old blue nose pit named Kobe). Your video confirmed that we potty trained & crate trained Kobe correctly with the taxi method. If we get the puppy we will incorporate your method of doing most of the activities outdoors in my backyard to wear her out. The rest of your video was very enlightening regarding exposing a puppy early on to add many things as possible.

Just got a Akita puppy and love your advice.

I found your channel through will at Fenrir Canine. I like your style no BS. Our 9 year old boxer was the midst fabulous dog listened to our every word and could be walked off leash easily. It's been sometime now without a puppy and We are preparing to get a Cane Corso. Like to hear your term exposure over socialization. Relearning a lot from you. Happy Retirement !

Thank you so much! It’s so informative!

Great info. - Experience tells me so. Thank you.

Larry, THANK YOU !!! for all the free info you supply. I am living on a fixed income and can't afford your training, as much as I would love to have it, so this information is INVALUABLE TO ME. I am hoping to incorporate all this valuable infrmation into my American Bully puppy. Although he is now just 6 months old, I know I started later then I should have, but I read where they siad not to try training beefore 6 months old , I am hoping I can turn around all the things I need to fix. I will follow all your tips in order as I need to have a well trained, off collar dog when it's all said and done. Again, THANK YOU !

We did a lot of similar things with our boxer mix when she was little. She never once had an accident in the crate because I was OCD about getting her out to pee every 2 hours for a couple weeks then I extended it by 30 minutes weekly. We haven't had any potty training issues at all since she was 14 weeks old. She's now almost 2 years old. I appreciate the points you made about the hiking trails, we took our then 15 month old dog on a camping trip and hit the hiking trails for days. She pulled me to every dog and even almost pulled me down when we went down a steep hill. I was extremely frustrated at the time. I will try your methods the next time we go.

Hi, first of all I want to thank you for such a helpful information!!!! I'm getting my first puppy(a Rotti) and I've been watching hundreds of videos, on all kind of training I can think of...by far this is the best and most helpful video!!! Thank you again and for sure I'l be your follower !!!

Thank you for these videos! I have paid almost $1000 for my 10 month old puppies training and I've learned more from you. I've made lots of mistakes but in spite of me, my dog is doing great! And we are working together on becoming a great team.

Thanks for the helpful tips! We have a puppy who I can tell wants to work and learn - and now I have some tips for how to get there.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 💕

This video just answered all of my questions i thought i was doing somethings wrong but i see im already following 60%of your rules. First time video watcher. Got a new Lab/pitmix 50%/50% male. He was removed from mama too early in my opinion. He was born Nov 18th 2019. I have 4 other dogs I've been working with 2 who have major behavior issues and don't listen at all. I plan to watch more of your videos to learn the proper way to correct them. Im a 5 dog household at the moment. I love animals more than ppl most days 😁. Your time and information is valuable to me thank you again.

Hi Larry. We have a Labradoodle now 12 months old. Just found your videos last month and really regret not finding you when we brought him home. This is our fourth dog and the training has changed. Can’t say I was fond of the new method so I mixed in some of the previous training. Tristan was outstanding until 4 months old. He began biting and ripping our clothes for a couple of months ( teething), until I got him under control with a leash.He alway came running when called until 3 months ago. I realized I gave him too much freedom in our fenced half acre and had to put him back on a leash whenever in the yard unless playing ball with him. He has a friend next door and they play together almost every day. Best of friends! There are a couple of minor things to keep working on and find your videos extremely helpful. Possessive with the ball and slipping out the door and not coming when called that needs to be addressed. I get the feeling he is laughing at us, the little devil as he thinks it’s a game. That is why I think we need to try the e- collar. Am trying to understand how one should use it as timing seems to be very important .All our previous dogs lived happy long lives from 13-16 years old and were rescue or abandoned dogs. Tristan is an Australian labradoodle at 45 lbs. Very affectionate and loving and follows me everywhere.Oh yes, he whimpered the first night in his crate as he slept beside me and that was it. Lucky!

This is some good stuff..I’m going to get an 8 week old Rottweiler in a couple weeks from a very reputable breeder in my area already set to go and I’m going to use all this advice

Excellent Video!

Thank you for your Expertise in Dog training and willingness to share it. My wife and I tend to love the dogs too much and not concentrate enough on the puppy training. We are now learning that a bit of tough love in the beginning. "Crate training" Exposure. Etc. Pays off. Plus we've had a lot of rescue dogs. A 9 week old Shepherd/Colie mix 7 days ago. Lol. That paying good $ for a well breed dog is worth the investment. A Pure breed Shepherd will be coming in the spring. Those that make bad comment don't know. Which is most of the dog owners. Thanks for what you do.

My husband says when I bring a puppy home it's like having a new baby. I sleep on the couch for the first two weeks with the crate next to me. Set my alarm for every two hours. After 3 to 5 days they got it. Then we just have to perfect it. Works every time. When people tell me they won't use a crate (bc dogs shouldn't be in cages) I won't train their dog. I ask them if you had a toddler and couldn't be in the room would you leave them to roam about? Of course not.....it would be in a pack n play. So.....humans belong in cages?? But puppies don't? 😒 Ugh frustrating!

Perfect advice! Thanks!

Watched this and immediately started utilizing these tips and in 2 days have noticed improvement in potty training my 10 month old bulldog (we just got her in June)

Brill thanks Larry just got a Weimaraner/German Shorthaired Pointer ... Let the work begin 👍🐶

I wish people would really know the value in the knowledge this man just dropped for free!!

Larry you are amazing and I love your videos so please ignore these other people who like to diss you. I look forward to your videos coming out. They are really interesting for me as I'm planning to get a puppy in the next few months. I have been doing so much research I am well prepared, even for the efforts required to potty train. With your help if will be very straightforward. Big thanks to you. Have a good day. Marion 🐕😊😊

Great information! Just brought home a Great Dane puppy and don't want to screw this up. LOL Exposure over socialization!!!!! Great advice! Thank you.

my 13 year old lab was a real help when it came to helping me train my now 3 year old besenji mix. he hated the crate though but once he was fully trained he rarely needed it. with my pup i would have him observe my dog from far away greeting dogs that we already know since she is well socialized and knew how to properly greet dogs. as young as 8 weeks old i would put my pup in a puppy pouch with a leash on him while i walked my labrador incase he needed to go potty and carried treats for good behaviors'. I would also bring him to stores that allowed dogs with my lab ofc and thats how he learned to not sniff things in stores and to sit or lay down in line.

Thank you, so many great tips!!👍

Great video and subject matter

Aaaaaaamazing info thanks for the help! I'm gonna go now and put this information in practice with my 2 month old Rottie... Best from Sunny Costa Rica!

Keep the god work videos up...I got a brand new Bouvier and your training will be great.....

Thanks a ton for the info! I really appreciate it.
