5 Important Puppy Care Tips That Most People FORGET!

Excellent video. Thanks a lot

Any tips on getting the puppy to stop chewing the grooming brush? I can't get it anywhere near mine as he just wants to chew it the whole time (even with his favourite treats on hand)

I've seen videos where dogs use a scratch pad(?) it was a sandpaper. Do you recommend it?

I highly recommend using a Furminator. And my nail trimming was SO much easier once I started doing them when they were in the back of my Subaru wagon. They were finally at the right height! Had little success when they sat on the ground.

One of the best videos I watched about taking care of a puppy! Thank you instructor Shannon! We just adopted a 10 weeks old Golden Retriever and this will definitely help our family to take care of our puppy correctly.

My girlei loves a Yak stick, but we have to limit her to 10 minutes – she can demolish a whole large one in half an hour! Her teeth are lovely though. She gets her teeth cleaned with a finger pad in the evening before bed when she's calm & a little sleepy, same with examining her feet and nails.

My puppies don’t like water/getting wet so what I started doing to try to get them to at least tolerate it is I’ve wet a towel so that it’s soaked, I lay it down on the tub and I stick one of those lick pads on the tub with some yummy treat spread on it, the first day they walked around all funny with like one paw up in the air trying not to get wet but too interested in the treats I threw in to wana get out Day 2 I did the same thing, day 3 they finally kept all the paws on the towel didn’t seem to mind the wetness, day 4 Same thing expect I fed them their meal in there and after they finished I tossed in some treats and put the yummy licking pad for them they ended up sitting down witch I was impressed, day 5my baby girl jumped in right away by herself, also when I do this I probly do it for like 10-15 minutes, I also don’t want my pups to jump out when they feel they are done so I’ll tell them “OKAY” loud n clear and lift them out the tub dry their paws and done. Gradually I will add more, n more water. To be honest I got this idea from someone’s video to gradually condition their cats to like water and since shibas are known for their kinda cat likeness I assumed why not try this xD so far I feel it’s working 🙂

That's so Interesting and helpful👍

My puppy hates bath, especially water on her back. She is not very much food motivated, so I tried similar tricks to make her comfortable in the bath. But if I have to wash her, it is a whole drama and lots of fighting, screaming, climbing on my shoulders

I own a 1 and a half year old German Shepherd. It took me an entire year to get her over two bad experiences in the bath as a pup.
TAKE YOUR TIME!!
Pay attention to how your dog is feeling. That's the only thing that matters. Time doesn't matter. Believe me, it's better to have a smelly pup for a few weeks or even months than to have a smelly dog for a year.

Sadly, my puppy already hates the bath. His first night we had to bathe him all at once as he was covered in pee. Is there any way to help him like bath time? I'm trying treats and food in the tub now. Thanks!

Can I suggest you simply take comments off for the swim videos
Of course you’re very careful & considerate with every single pup you adopt no matter how many
Keep up the great work
Sorry you felt you had to explain yourself

What treat do u use. My dogs won't take. Flavor or texture? Thanks

Great Video ..Thanks

How many treats is a puppy supposed to get a day? Thanks.

The pup in the thumbnail looks exactly like my pup, but his ears still haven't popped up. He's definitely a German shepherd though

My puppy just wants to chew mainly on us…i have tried to get her to go to toys cause he teeth hurt…and she keeps trying to bit my face how do you stop that

Hey just wondering if you thought about this, I would rather see a voiceover and someone in the background actually working with the dog without talking. Cuz what I have seen in the handling part of the video she was talking to the camera to us and then she put the "yes" marker in with that. Yes I understand that this is just a couple minutes while filming and this is not necessarily how training goes all the time but like I said I think I would like to see a voiceover instead of the handler talking through the whole thing cuz it could be very confusing to the dog to know when you saying "yes" to the dog or "yes' to the camera.
Just something to think about and possibly add into your videos more.

Any tips for me? I have an 11 week old black lab. I’ve been teaching her sit, lay down, up, her name (Luca) and go to bed. She knows how to do all those things now but my problem is when I’m feeding/training her I say her name to get her attention and she immediately starts to do all those commands without me saying any commands. She will look at me sit then lay down and then get up and go to her pad

Is the anti slip mat in the shower highly reccomended?

Female puppies are 50% more easier to train
