This dude makes more sense than anyone I've heard. Great advise on the crating issues.

Man, it just broke my heart a bit when you said “leave for work” You are so underrated as a trainer it makes me sick! You should be booked for years man... I will start sharing your videos more often! I can’t believe you do this as like a second job. Keep up the passion man not all heros wear capes!

Hello Larry, I just wanted to say that it is refreshing to see there are still common sense trainers out there! I'm a retired Canine Behaviorist and my skin crawls with most of the training videos on KZfaq. I wish we had all these fancy phones and KZfaq "back in the day" LOL I'd love to look back on some of the problem dogs I used to train. Good times. Anyways, just wanted to drop a comment to let you know that I sincerely enjoyed watching this one and a few other videos of yours, it made my day to be honest to hear someone with common sense!!!! And AMEN on the puppy socialization!!! It's been 10 years since I retired and to this day it makes my skin crawl when I see dogs acting like fools, oh I'm sorry I meant to say, I see dogs that were TURNED into fools by ignorant, no common-sense owners, getting pulled all over the place, dogs jumping on everyone....UGH. I'm sure you know what I mean. Sorry this is so long, it's rare that I come across someone who trains dogs that impresses me and you sure did. Thanks!

This stream is super helpful! It’s so nice to hear your daily schedule for a puppy. Your expertise, wisdom and straightforward communication style has been a gift! I’m way old so your relaxed videos are refreshing!There’s so much info about puppy training-it’s overwhelming. We have a 12-week-old Samoyed pup. It’s easy to get pulled into expecting obedience goals possibly to early with KZfaq, etc. Our first Sammy wasn’t really trained and we all learned things the hard way! He was great, extra sweet and very noisy even at 14! lol They are quite a vocal breed - their talking is part of their charm. We didn’t handle it appropriately with our first. I encouraged him to bark excessively without realizing it. (This pupper is already more quiet and calm.) Sams are super awesome dogs and way healthier than the three Goldens we lost through cancer. Thank you for your service to our country and to dog families everywhere! Please forgive my rambling. Blessings.

Wish I would have found you sooner! I listened to so instant fix crap before I got here. Thanks for being realistic and giving advice that actually makes sense!

Just purchased your book. Can not wait to read it!!! You are a great teacher.

This is the most logical information from a trainer..totally agree with everything...

Larry Krohn: I seem to learn the most from you as a trainer.Cause you teach in person & in detail while you explain things your doing as your doing it. I'm getting the Mini Educator ET-300 today & I have bought the e-collars from Japan before but broke down & bought the best as almost all trainers use on youtube.. I don't only watch your training videos is how I compare your videos with the rest.. Just keep up the excellent videos cause. If you lived closer to me I would have asked you to train my dog or dogs cause I have more than one. As you know I train my dogs for hunting wild hogs & thats alot easier than the training than you & all the other trainers do.Thank You & keep up the great work you do!

I legit love this guy- not all heroes wear capes!

Love this video. Thanks, Larry. And my puppy thanks you, too.

Great tips. Thanks. 👍 I feel like I got super lucky with my sheltie when I rescued her. She was neglected and kept in a crate (in a bad way) the first year or more of her life and didn't get any exposure to anything but surprisingly she never acts up in the car.

I stumbled on your video by doing a e-collar search on how to. You have the same process and philosophy as I do. I just wish more dog owners would listen to this reasoning and take the time with their dogs. I am a Professional Dog Walker in my area and I wish everyone would listen.

Thanks Larry! Golden advice!

Thank you Larry! I have learned Sooo much from you! I do IGP also , I have 3 working line Shepherds ( 13y/0 , 6y/0 , and 8 month old , high drive ) , and your training has given me so much insight into dog behaviors. .Thank you !!! 🙏

Hi I absolutely love listening to your videos. I have a new puppy will be turning eight weeks old tomorrow she is a chocolate red Queensland healer female. I’ve never created a dog. But I started because of you. I’m not getting much sleep but that’s OK, I believe she’s going to be an awesome dog. Thank you

Ur such a wise pack leader..If every dog owner was like u we wouldn’t have bans on Pitbulla..god bless u.. from Toronto..

Man, you are amazing, So much great information. Thank you!

Wow....your content is the best logical thing I've ever seen....this is so helpful,thank you...

Very important and useful information!

I have a 3.5 month old, Dominus, that has earned himself the middle name Ruffian. We have raised Rotties before, I've helped train and trained mine on my own. However this one is different, he has the intelligence, he has the natural instincts, he also has his own streak of stubbornness that is testing me. He learns commands in a day, but when it comes to potty training and not doing things, such as chewing or jumping on people, nothing I do to correct him is preventing it, he does it again.

We live in the country, off leash is a requisite out here. Thanks so much...

Great advice.

Awesome video. I love all the information that you gave us. I'm picking up my puppy boxer in nine days and I have been trying to learn as much as possible how to train the puppy and your videos are very helpful. Thank you very much! Can you please do a video on boxers, if you know a lot about them?

Hey just came across your page and you are extremely helpful and informative for new owners. Being that I am getting a shiba next month I was wondering how you would approach the leash situation in a big metropolitan city? I live in an apartment building in NYC and I am apprehensive about having a shiba off leash on city streets. Btw I agree with you 100% on the off leash from day one lol. Any insite would help me build a great foundation for my new puppy.

I have made some mistakes, God help me. Thanks as always for the great information. I have some work to do! You are the best.

So gooood! Thank you!! Taking notes& having my kiddos listen, too. Larry if you see this & want to answer. Do you believe its possible to boundary train up a Gr Pyrenees pup to stay on our unfenced 3 acres w chicken & rabbits & cats? We are a homeschool fam so would be home a lot duh haha! He would mostly be in when we’re in & out when we’re out. I believe it’s possible, but would love encouragement!

This video was the most insightful for me thus far out of all your videos. I take my dog to the office and feel at work and home he literally has me on leash at his beckon call. Teaching my puppy at this stage is the most important item for mine and my families sanity. You have made a series of wonderfully insightful videos which we explore daily in keeping our minds sharp while in training mode. The time you have taken has been tremendously helpful in the training of our ridgeback puppy. ~ Thank you the McClendon's

About the outside thing, what if you don't have a fenced in yard? I don't and my puppy is already trying to dart off outside and is only 11 weeks. It's not easier with the lease either though bc she jerks her head around trying to pull against it

I would livto see a video just on the rest periods of a puppy. When it happens, what to do or not do, etc.

This was really helpful, and made a lot of sense. I have a 7 month old Malinois. Hope it's not too late to crate train.

Separation training is so important and often overlooked

Hey Mr. Larry I adopted a 1 year old hound and Rottweiler mix. There isn’t a whole lot of background on the dog but nonetheless how should I go about making dog training go well with an adopted dog? I would assume it’s the same with all dogs. I have seen a few of your videos and they are great and I will be trying them myself to help teach my dog as well. Adding to that he currently has heartworm so I was told to minimize exercise activities with him. Should I wait until he gets well which could be the next two months from now. Or should I train him now? I love my dog and am willing to bust my ass off to make things work. Thanks, Dave

Great videos learning a lot. Not convinced about the not giving access to water though, you may have created some type of vice with your dog because you mention that she drinks until she vomits when you allow her to drink. Just an observation. Thanks for sharing the videos.

Smart man.

nice video

Arent you worried having a puppy on the line all the time will cause separation anxiety issues? Im debating the pros and cons of having a puppy (8 weeks) in a playpen - who whines when we are out of sight or on a leash around the house which means they will want to be with us all the time. Potentially causing separation anxiety? Any advice would be great! Thanks 😊

When do you start e collar

Hello, my almost 4 months old labrador/ rottweiler mix likes to bite when someone tries to grab him, he bites hard. We also didn't know that puppies don't need to be out of their cradle, he is most of the time free in the house, when i try to put him inside he barks without stop. This is cery frustrating 😖

You spoke of your puppies being off leash and it not being a novelty to them. I am planning to get a Shiba Inu which is known to dart away from owners when taken off leash. Will early off leash training as a puppy prevent this for when hes an adult dog?

This is all great advice. Our rottie puppy seems to go crazy when we tell her the word NO or try to correct her so we've ended up having to put space between us so she doesn't keep going crazy. Do you have any advice about this? Xx

I thought you said that you keep dogs off leash most of the time so that they're used to it. So, in the house even when you're supervising, you still have a leash on? when is off leash time?

I have read so much stuff on dogs I read to always avoid dog parks because that is where dogs will pick up something .or may be attacked It really go me thinking lucky we have a big yard so I just let her play there, and her two sisters come over and play with her , but that is it

You fool no one, Jon Favreau in disguise; I know the voice..thanks for the help!

Again, another excellent and helpful video, thanks Larry. As I've said on another video, I pick up my 8 week old Cockapoo in a few days. Do these instructions apply to a puppy that young too? Do I just get to know him, take him out to potty every few minutes, keep him in the crate and that's about it for awhile? Do I start some basic training or wait?

I'm getting a German Shepherd puppy what size crate should I get for him?

Question: I just bought a 9 week old GSD. Is it appropriate that I leave her in the crate for a couple of hours in increments while I am busy or preoccupied with school work? I feel bad for crating her like that, but like you, I don't leave her out if I can't follow her at all times to avoid potty accidents and destruction. I usually take her out after the 1.5 hour mark to use the restroom and stretch and play a little.

how do you keep the puppy from running away if they are off leash outside and not in a fenced yard? Is there any conditioning that needs to be done first?

How old is a Rottweiler to be still considered a puppy?

Larry can you give me some suggestions for my new male chihuahua puppy? He is a bit more skittish than my almost 3 year old female. My vet said to 'socialize him' more but he is 14 weeks old and they said to wait until after his last set of shots (in a few weeks) which I think would defeat the purpose. I have also run into aggression issues with my little guy with SOME treats and him snarling and going after me if he thinks I 'm going to take it. I've been reading and trying to make sure I am in charge with my energy around him and it has gotten a lot better!! Oh she is 5 pounds and he should be about the same. Is there a training collar/brand you'd suggest? Thx!

I have a question...would you follow the same protocol with training a new puppy for your household? I currently have a Boxer mix (8 yr) and a Mastiff mix (2.5 yr) my husband and I are thinking about getting a puppy. We are trying to think how to create, potty, and leash train the puppy. Our current dogs sleep with us. Should we crate the puppy in front of the other two? or should they all be crated at the same time? We have stopped crating our two when we leave because they are trust worthy now...but a puppy is not so much trust worthy...thoughts?

I'm just wondering how long you leave your puppies on a long leash in the house? I know you said in another video that you don't leave them unsupervised in the house until at least one year. Does this mean they are always leashed during that whole time?

Hey larry I messaged you on Facebook. I was hoping to speak with you directly for some advice. I've watched a few of your videos and just gave some clarity questions

I got a problem with the car on my 7month old rot puppy. My male is great with riding, but my pup vomits every time. Like motion sickness. Any advice?

Question: I recently got 2 GSD from the same litter, they or seems like they play roughly. They don't srop till I crate them. What is your perspective on this?

Love your content, brother. Awesome channel. I have a puppy question. I have an 8 month old male australian cattle dog. parents were working dogs on a cattle ranch here in central California. great prey drive and can play all day long. At 8 months, should I be expecting him to pay attention to me while walking by others dogs? He gets extremely distracted by other dogs or nearby people walking their dogs. Is this unrealistic? Will he grow out of it?? I am considering getting an e collar to help build more focus and snap out of it around distractions.

The most important thing you say in all your videos is two things and those are repetition and consistency. No matter what you want or expect from a dog everything has to start with those two things. I don’t follow your training to the tee and I also don’t have the same expectations. For example if the dog is going to be outside primarily while a person is at work they need to be outside a lot from a young age so you can address any issues that they may have being alone. How will you know if there is going to be issues if the dog isn’t exposed to being alone outside in the back yard if you don’t put them there? I have inside/outside dogs and so you sure better start young teaching them what you expect while your at work and they are outside or you are going to have serious problems.

So I am a little confused about keeping the puppy separate from you. How to do that ? Because you said they are under your surveillance at all time unless you go away they are in their crate. So what exactly to do ?

Living in an apartment complex which requires the use of a leash at all times, in a city with same leash law rules, makes it impossible to do it your way. So, it's leash on at all times when outside. Only no-leash option is a local dog park, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that idea yet. I do want my energetic 4 month old Great Dane to be able to run around & be a healthy, happy puppy though. What to do?

bro what to feed me rot pup????

Larry, if I take my 4 mos old puppy off leash outside he runs to kids he sees playing or runs to explore things she shouldn't and she makes me feel like a fool chasing her

I understand the logic and the concept of making him mentally prepared for the rest of his life, but that's a bit sad I think to not letting him being able to experience things in the house by his own. But ye I understand. You said you can let him alone in the house when he's 2 years old. Why that much time of experience ? Isn't 1 year enough ? If we get him used to the crate and leave him alone in the crate alone in the house when he's something like 7 months old is it that bad for him ? I got the concept and the logic, but I'd like to know why some of those details are that accurate. You also make it sound like there are a lot of possibilities to prepare the mental of the dog for when he's older do you know any others pro trainer that works differently in a way that you approuve ? If yes why and if not why ? Kinda a lot of questions and I don't think you'll have time to answer them all but meh I gotta try x)

Please make you vids bit interesting , its good that you provide insightful info , but seeing your face all along is bit uninteresting, would like to see how you do it with the puppy, like a demo vid .
