Everything You Need to Know About Puppies 

join my online dog training site to learn the best way to train your puppy: robertcabral.com/training/yt

I have been a dog lover all my life (71 y.o.) and after my last doggie passed away, I'm dog sitting for other people. Even though I'm very experienced and knowledgeable in the subject of dogs, I still watch and learn from your videos. It is a neverending process. Thank you for all your work.

" the more you curb that desire, the more it will go away" ... this is probably the best line of this video!!!! and will be skipped over too easily

Hi Robert, this is an old video, so I hope that you see this. I want to thank you for your awesome contributions to the puppy world- I'm sure the time and energy you put into these videos doesn't pay very well, but I'm sure there's many like me who really appreciate you all your wisdom. I love your antics about the negative people, and you I really like the way you emit the truth- hopefully it will help curb a few morons in the world- and more importantly, make their puppies lives better! I have a beautiful 16 week old Maly- that I acquired at 8 weeks- my ninth dog- and I thank you as I have picked up many helpful tips from your videos- THANK YOU! My puppy Maly is disciplining me as much as I him, and he is a BIG part of my life and goes with me almost EVERYWHERE! Everyone rants about how aggressive this breed is, but I have found this puppy to be so sweet, gentle, and obedient that he has been much easier to train than the two Labrador-retreivers or any of the other shepards or other dogs I've owned. Maybe I'm older and have more experience- or maybe o got real lucky with this particular breeder and specific dog. In any case, I have noticed that the dogs behavior in general- always mimic the owners- whether it be loud, obnoxious, or down right mean. I think it's a universal spiritual dog law. So, thank you again, and I LOVE your channel !!!

Thanks for putting these up on YT for free and I really mean that. If I had the money I'd join the members section just to support you. I like that you're a no BS guy that speaks his mind. Too many people on social media are so busy whoring for attention they lose all integrity. Glad you decided to keep yours :)

Watching this vid in the first few minutes I’m so happy that you’re a great trainer but you allow your dog on the couch. Have to say that shows you are kind and yet strong with your dogs. I love you for that Robert. ❤

Great response to people wanting the sunshine answer. Some people can’t handle the truth,,life isn’t everyone getting the trophy.

Mr. Cabral🙌🏻! 2 yrs ago I got a very broken Old English Sheepdog (after the passing of my previous OES). Owen was super reactive with all other dogs; hitting the end of the leash so hard he'd literally do backflips while barking like a maniac. Total nightmare walking him. In large part thanks to your videos, I got him to stop the bs. Also with the help of a friend and his non reactive dog. Now, he gets along with all dogs beautifully. Thank you for your practical no-nonsense videos. 🥰 Solid insights and advice.

In Robert Cabral, I trust it's amazing how you can not put a simple? On your question, but then expect that same person to be able to train a dog. I just want to say thank you Robert for taking the time to make these videos and explain certain things I've learned a lot just by listening to you, which is made it easier for me to be a better person for my puppy. I am sometimes just amazed at how it goes down. Stay well Robert thank you for everything you do for puppies and dogs

I'm amazed at how my older dogs help me train the beginners/puppies. They've learned from their mistakes and now help me school any new dogs/pups around my farm. Plus a consistant routine every day helps.

This was super helpful! I’m not a member (yet!) but I’ve really enjoyed your videos. We recently rescued a Malinois puppy, 9 weeks, (she’s our second mal, first one crossed the bridge) and boy is she different- adorable, sweet and HIGH drive. Since she’s a rescue we know nothing about her dad, and VERY little about her mom. A challenge we decided was a good fit. We are both home 24/7 and excited to do even better this time around(first mal was exceptional!)

Just found your channel today. I love your “no nonsense” attitude. In the past I had a trainer that was very much like you and recently found out he has relocated across the country. I want a companion for as long as the dog lives just as I had before. It’s been 5 long years as work prevented me from fully caring for an animal. I was lost without a dog and now is the time to get a puppy. I look forward to your videos & working with you.

I love your answers. To the point and brutally honest.

I've had dogs all my life and just got another puppy (my first female) 10 weeks old Amstaff, she loves other dogs BUT she's also very dominate. The first day she tried to dominate my 3yr old male Rhodesian ridgeback mix. I immediately put her in her crate. Long story short, I immediately started researching, since I never had this experience, found your videos and THANK YOU, she has a natural high prey drive but after only a few days of applying your techniques, I'm already seeing changes, she also has a high desire to please people. I'll be joining your members only today.

I recently was blessed with a pug puppy. I've learned alot from your videos and they no doubt helped me with my GSD Jake. Apparently I didn't read the "memo" on Pugs....🤔 Definately been an interesting "journey" with Pete 🙄😜. These videos have definately made a difference. I thank you for your wisdom.

First couple minutes and already loving it. I feel like people constantly impulse buy on animals as though they're objects, then sadly get left at shelters etc. Whatever the average lifespan is, you're committing to at least that. Great thing to say right away.

??? How to stop a puppy picking up any junk from the floor? 6 mo old lab had to have a surgery in order to remove a plastic ball from her stomach. ( not my puppy, but still want to know) Thank you Robert for sharing your wisdom and expertise with us

I make my puppy watch all your puppy training videos. Hopefully she'll pick up some good habits so I don't have to put in any work.

I think that all the educational information you are sharing is so important

I am going to be in the market to get a baby German shepherd I’ve had many dogs in my lifetime I am almost 71 years old now and your videos are preparing me To teach my dog then I’m going to get the proper way and everything you’re saying is so logical and seems like it’s right on the money thank you so much Cliff

Great to get this free content. There's so much I've forgotten about puppy training.

Most people can’t handle commitments, especially a pup for more than the first accident. Love your message. ❤️

Robert, I have leaned so much from you, my dog just turned 1, chocolate Lab, she's amazing, and so much of that i give thanks to you and your channel for. I found you in the beginning, and it's been a huge help, since our philosophies really coincide, both in training and in life. many thanks! for your passion in helping owners do right by their dogs--rule number was always--if something is wrong with my dog, look at myself and analyse what i'm doing wrong. that was the best advice for a first time puppy owner!

Goofy in the background steals the show, Robert!😊 Thank you for these videos -amazingly helpful.👍

I'm really enjoying this playlist in prep for getting my first pup. Thanks Robert

Thank you! 🙏

Re: cropping of tails.. 12:53 .Look at Running dogs - they use their tails massively for steering and balance- and also for stopping, where they can windmill their tails to pull up fast.

Love his straight forward approach and responses. There are those that think they know best about training. If they know so much why are they listening to these videos??

Thank you ! You have the best information on puppy’s and how to deal with a puppy! So clear and understandable on the subject. 👍

Right on

Sounds like we need a video on crate training, it’s one of the best tools for any training. Why would anyone think this is bad. It’s only bad when it’s abused.

Thank you 🎉

Mr. Robert, Thanks so much for all of your time and knowledge, Keep Great work up 🙏

I just need to laugh. "I am going to let you answer that" high drive dog left outside unsupervised. So funny!! Common sense. Love to see that video, it could go viral!!

Making sure your pup feels secure, nothing is ever perfect, yet we can give them the best balanced life possible. If we take on the commitment we owe them, if we can’t keep commitments pups, pets probably isn’t a good idea. I love playing rough with all my pets it’s teaching them play time is play time is the training. Can’t afford your program but I love listening to your advice, I consider myself pretty good pet owner that can always learn something.

That rant alone is worth a sub to the site :D

I don’t even have a dog but I’m here for the Robert Cabral Life Advice 👍🏻👍🏻 (I wish I had more than just 2 opposable thumbs to put up)

?? My 8 month female Mal is very afraid of my daughter in law. She was fine until she witnessed her, my dil, discipline my grand kids. To the point of barking at items she has left in our house after she's gone. She will bark at her if she hears her voice on the phone. She is a rescue and we've had her since she was 5 months. You're training videos have been invaluable to us!! Thank you!!

I just found your channel last night and glad I did coz it made me realized all the wrong things I've been doing that I thought was right. I have a 12 weeks gsd. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about dogs.

On tail and ear cropping, I have a doby pup he has a cropped tail, as did my first. My middle one had full tail. Personally I believe (unless working dog) they should have tails and ears as it helps for it to communicate with other dogs. As in positioning of ears and tail tells other dogs how it is feeling.

A puppy being g like a baby is so true

Are you friends with Jacoby?? Love it 😂 Thanks for your advice. My puppy is 4 weeks and I’m preparing for homecoming. Really want to do this right!

Thanks for all your advice and for your work in helping all of us! I haven’t figured out yet when you go live. I don’t get notifications so can I ask what your schedule is? I am a member of your site too but it would be nice to be here when you are live. Again thank you for all your hard work!! 🙏🏼

the dog socialization subject is very helpful. especially with all these doggie daycare places.. seeming very unregulated. so many people "oh she just wants to play" when their dog is obviously too hyped. and some daycares do not give breaks.. have too many dogs of ALL ages together, and not enough humans.. people that are supposed to be monitoring the dogs walking / pacing around looking at their cell phones most of the time. another monitor, carrying a puppy around because puppy is too young to be with all those big dogs.. so that monitor is now unavailable for responding to anything that could go wrong.. the list goes on. allowing dogs to jump on them. and people saying OH IT"S SO GREAT!!! you HAVE to socialize your dog.. and take them to dog daycare.

F the haters they know how to trigger my advice is ignore. I’m a SM expert and that’s my advice. Great content I’ll be becoming a prime member

Pups biting can be corrected with redirecting them to toy or objects they are allowed to chew. Some pups get overstimulated with touching. Not all but many.

What are some of the best puppy raising books you would reccomend?

Your thoughts on failing and learning from it. Spot on. You have to learn that losing sucks. You don't want to lose again. If you never learn that because you are coddled, you will never learn to achieve greatness. Applying it to puppies is an easy adaptation.

Great pod, l always listen in regardless of the subject

My only issue right now is barking, excessive barking at night. I just got a noise complaint from my management. He goes in the crate fine. However, at our 2am potty break BARKING. I definitely need to get this under control.

I learn so much from you, love your videos! Thanks for your commitment to improve coexistence between peoples and dogs.

Just found your channel. Love your methods. Great job!

Once again great video 👍 Thumbs up to you 😊 ❤️

?Robert, my 5mo GSD lunges uncontrollably at passing cars when I walk her. When walking down quieter streets she is relatively calm and does not tug at the lead. What’s the best way to help neutralize this behavior. Thanks in advance - always a pleasure to watch your videos

Are we just going to brush over the fact that Jacoby Shadyx is homies with Robert?!?! Love your content as always!

What’s with this electric blue bracelet !?? I WANT ONE 😳

You are a grade A fella

Hello Robert from Ga!

I just adopted a rescue dog and I am 75 yrs old so chances are that he will out live me. I just wanted to give him a good home. Was I wrong to adopt him?

love this

I love your shirt,are they available pink colour?😊

Brilliant what he said about puppies I have a seven-month-old see well he's almost 7 months I guess but anyway yeah survive parvo Inn on Memorial Day and a heat up that different cost but anyway he's okay now and not now you know he's we found some strange things in his mouth I found a dime I found various things that he's been chewing on that has a full set of teeth and that's nice and you know what you mean about pitbull mixes he mostly retriever although I can tell he has a little bit of Pitbull and he's really quick like reactive and you know it he's a pretty strong but at the same time I think he's going to be a good dogs but I liked what you said about puppies because sometimes I get upset with him in my mind you know I want to like you just chewed up a really nice pair of shoes but the thing is I should have the shoes up so I knew that I should have at least the only got one at maybe I can get another pair and switch him out but but I really like how you make it so naturally you talk on these things and I'm just grateful that I have a new puppy and learn from you so thanks😮😅🎉

ROFL🤣🤣🤣🤣. Don’t like what I say don’t watch. I absolutely ❣️this!!!! Listen & use common sense. Just like raising a child👍👍 Just found you & enjoy ❣️

yeah, rescues fix dogs at 9 weeks now.. it's just insane to me. I got my first dog 20 years ago from a rescue.. and I waited to get her fixed until she was 6 months. I get that rescues do this now because they want to limit accidental litters that cause more dogs to be out there on the rescue path.. but I thought they were supposed to be all about the well-being of the dog?

Is it good a 2 month old labrador puppy to climb stairs????

I am going through very hard anxiety since we got the puppy. Don’t know why. She’s 8 weeks old, can’t control herself and potty training has been hard. The puppy cries at night, hates her crate,wakes me up, I get adrenaline rushes and I can’t go back to sleep, haven’t eaten anything. I am not sure what else i can do to get rid of this feeling. I am following your crate training tips and she’s slowly giving in, but my anxiety doesn’t subside. I lost 9 lbs in the last 3 days and all I’ve eaten was a cereal bar. Can’t calm down. Any tips to help me understand what’s happening to me? Ever had experience with another person feeling the same way?

?? we have a 7 month old Lab and a 4 month old german shepherd. 98% of the time they are the best pals- no aggression about feeding simultaneously- they sleep together-- but when they get going and play rough the GS frequently can puncture the jowls of the lab. I now supervise all of their play- how long should I expect this behavior- what can I do to stop it?

Damn you popped off

I would often get ppl come to play for me thinking we would use them in the symphony as an “extra.” They expected me to say “wow, you’re great!” Not..”wow..I can’t believe you had the ego to think you were remotely ready to play in a professional environment! Go practice for a hundred years and honestly address your flaws, then come back.” Talk about butthurt and insulted…I had a kid tell me once “I play Mozart much more romantically than most” after totally murdering a concerto, so I said “then you’re never going to win an audition. After you win, you can embarrass yourself any way you want if a conductor allows it, but you’d better learn the correct style if you ever expect to win a professional audition.”

+1 papa roach reference!

I got my 10 week old puppy from the humane society. I could not believe that they had spayed her at that age. I would of payed them for a future surgery, no problem. Other than that, she's been a awesome puppy.

How long training lead should I get? You mentioned in a different video that the e-collar is high quality. Where do I get one?

?? I'm thinking of getting a female Rottweiler. She is 9 months old. My question is, should I rather get a younger puppy? Will it be more difficult to train her vs a younger like 2 months?

I love you!!! You're saying what so many of us want to say to stupid "snowflakes", but afraid to do. I used to tell people not to adopt an aggressive dog, that should be put to sleep. Invest in a good dog, that otherwise might get euthanized. You rock for telling people to get lost if they don't like you. ♡♡♡ Thank you for your great videos and the time you put into them.

I heard tails are docked because of the ease of breaking. Dobermans have long skinny tails that break easily which is a big problem.

Damn, already got two lab puppies before watching this!

? ? My 3-month-old Pitbully puppy sleeps in his crate at night (door open) but I have the leash on so he can poop and pee in his potty tray. I want to unleash him while his crate open but he's not 100% potty trained yet. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly or is there anything I can do better? We live in a small apartment and eventually, I want him to be 100% off leash at home at potty trained. I walk him daily by the way. Thank you very much!

?? When can you play with your puppy??

I have a four month old Aussie doodle that is very distracted. How can I get her to focus?

I'm just watching this back, 12 minutes into it, and had at least 5 ads already...

?dutch shepherds vs Amal’s around small kids

Hello!

?? Puppies bite but how to teach them not to crank down and hurt you. Nipping is fine but biting the crap out of the back of my leg while I'm just walking to the dryer is not cool. I feed him and take care of him and then he just attacks me. I don't get it.

????? Should I brush my puppy’s teeth daily?

I am not getting any work done because my puppy wants to constantly play, what should I do? How long should they be in a crate during the day

I have a 7 year old male rottweiler. And a want to take another puppy. Witch do you think is best. Doberman,german sheperd or a rottweiler again?

?? How early can you start a raw diet, I have a 9 week old Boerboel

I couldn’t agree more with the things you said about society going to shi*, when they think fairly losing causes harm. It’s a society of entitlement (“participation trophies”), and it’s a mess. 😂

We've been keeping our dogs in pretty much I mean they can go out course you not tell him they want to go out and tell him I said look it's too hot you know and you don't get it I told you it was too hot anyway but when my dog hope is 8 when she does her name hope and then we've had the puppy with her I mean she just adores the pup and the puppy adores her she goes everywhere with with the dog hope I mean he does we named him Zorro and you know I just I'm going to really follow you on the puppy training because the eight-year-old is totally you know trained I knew that Chow dogs or I had read nothing good about them on the Internet when I got her and I still will I meet limited socializer a lot until I socialized that took used to take her to the park and she does look like a little teddy bear and I would let kids play with her all the time and you know get up in their face I get up in your face cuz she was like you know under under 5 months she was adorable and I know she would they would just hold her and why didn't I didn't want him to hold her like she male leash but they would like get around her and say and ask I make sure they ask can I pet your puppy and t and you know I think against with the things you teaching seems pretty untrained but she'll sit on command she'll come on command she'll do I'll tell her to do things and she'll do it so you know she does definitely have good manners it's just it was kind of rough at times to train her because she would get out you know just the whole lot think she's okay I mean obviously you know I got it always refresh For me personally I think that the most challenging part since I'm not a professional dog trainer is just to make sure that I'm doing it right because I feel like you know that she's following me I have to be on track first

What time can you touch your puppy

you got a friend in papa roach?? what? :o

Why do they bark so much?

Docking and cropping is illegal in the UK, thank goodness!

And the financial commitment if the dog gets seriously ill.

9 WEEK puppies NEED THE HORMONES....that's why they were born with them....Take better care and control your puppy!

Oh my god the talking in months past 1year I can't stand it 😂 , Im talking also about Children too . "My 38 months old blahblha" DUUDDE NOOOO I don't want to have to do a mathematical equation to know your kids age 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Thumbs down need to be removed.
