First Time Truck Camping with my 3 Month Old Puppy 

Just a note from an individual who transported dogs (and other pets) and volunteered for a dog rescue organization transporting dogs across the USA for 5+ years .. do not feed dogs, especially puppies, food or treats during rides .. tummies and bowels can be sensitive and will either vomit or have diarrhea or both. Have cleaning products handy. Even have a light breakfast and make sure both #1 and #2 are done before traveling. Also, make sure to get a doggie first aid kit. Blessings for a happy adventure.

I have zero issues if you film Kaya a lot, dogs are the best 🥰

Get that baby a blanket for the backseat!! Get her all cozy for those truck rides

My baby just went to heaven about a month ago, cherish every moment

One thing that's worked well for us while camping is tying a rope between 2 trees about 4-5' in the air, then tethering them to that rope. Minimizes tangles and gives them a good run if the trees are far apart. Ground ties will ALWAYS tangle in sticks, picnic tables, your feet, camp chairs, etc. Kaya looks like she's having a blast!

Welcome to fatherhood! The struggles are real!

She's so adorable. I just got to say it, watch out for those fleas and ticks especially going camping they just love our pets.

When we went camping with our corgi mix, we put a spiked collar for birds of prey and coyotes. Also a apple airtag for when she wandered off. Probably cheaper dog trackers but we had an extra.😉

You need to replace your batteries in your smoke alarm. It will let you know when your pizza is done.😂 Cute fur baby!

Im so happy for you Johnny. Every boy needs a dog! I wish you many years of happiness together.

I know Forestry sure loves Rocko and I love seeing her with him climbing the mountains. She's a Jack Russel and a live wire also. You can find tangle free rods to screw in the ground for short leashes when in limited space.

Kaya is so well trained on down and stay and she is attached to you. I think she like the other girl, a lot!! Kaya's coloring is beautiful and no problem here seeing her more!!

What an adorable puppy. Glad you are keeping her on the leash and working with her. It just takes time. And i would always love to see lots of Kaya. She is gonna be such a great companion.

I'm glad you have such a cute companion! Be mindful of the fleas and ticks in the woods.

Aw. She loves it out there too! You found the perfect adventure buddy.

Beautiful dog Kaya is so cute! She was having a blast running on the trails, going in the water, enjoying her new camping life with you! You can train her to just walk with you on the trails eventually. A comfy dog bed for her to lay on in the back seat would be nice for her with a snack and a toy. I enjoyed your video with beautiful Kaya and look forward to more camping videos with Kaya❤

That puppy has a lot of energy. Gonna keep you moving!

She is a beautiful pup. You will have a lot of fun training her. She's adorable.

Kaya is absolutely adorable. I love her floppy ears. I am glad you are getting her out camping early to get her used to it. I can't wait to see her grow and have fun hiking and camping with you. I had no idea campgrounds did not allow dogs, I guess we have been lucky. I could not tell how you buckle her up, but you can buy her a strap that attaches to her collar and then clips into the seatbelt.

I agree that you should do what's considered a dog run. There's a lot more freedom in that than for Kaya to ALWAYS getting snagged on tables, and so forth and so on. She is very adorable but very rambunctious ❤❤

Those ears! 💖🤣🤣 I 💖 the way she talks to you! And you got some side eye 🙄😉👍🐾🐾🦴💖

Kaya is so cute. Great addition to the family.

Her ears flopping around is so cute 😍 she is gonna love her camping adventures with you 🐾 🐾 ⛺️

She’s such a cute puppy

Hey Johnathon, what a cool and cute puppy that's just what you needed a companion who will give you unconditional love on your outings.

Love Kaya She is adorable!

Kaya is so adorable!!

Awesome as always, Jonathan. Beautiful Kaya, congrats on the new puppy she's adorable. Thank you for sharing. GOD BLESS YOU KEEP ADVENTURING

We just got a new dog too. So enjoyable to watch this, can't wait to camp with my pup this summer.

She is adorable

Congrats on the new addition, she is adorable and full or energy.

Kaya is sooo cute! I love her floppy ears!! I would also recommend to get a duvet cover so in case she has an accident in your bed, it's easier to wash, or brings in dirt from all your adventures, etc! This was a life saver for when I had Archie along on my adventures, because he got dirty everyday and slept with me in the bed too

Awww, Kaya is a super cute pup.

Shes part of your guyes family now So she should be in the videos I think its GREAT

She is so adorable. 🥰

Awesome addition.

Great video Jonathan!! Loved it. Puppy did great ❤ it is a lot of work when they’re small they have soooo much energy but trust me time goes very fast and you will be surprised how fast they learn, enjoy her please and keep showing her in your videos 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️

Good luck with your puppy 😂 you’re gonna need it!

Such a cute puppy. A nice camping experience. Great video, Jonathan.

Great video. We always use a car seat harness like you. Ever since I made a sudden stop after a knucklehead cut me off and my pup went crashing into the front seat,then the floor, he wears a harness. Don’t worry about filming perfect videos, this is your story to tell, however you can. Believe it or not, learning how to walk your dog is one of the hardest. Dogs learning the proper way to walk beside you on leash, with all its parts like to stop, stay or sit means when you practice those off leash they get it. They won’t wander too far off and most importantly, they come when called.

Beautiful puppy, very active he will behave when older, sweet little guy

As soon as you busted out the dog run I laughed....all of us dog owners have experienced the same.lol.great memories..I would recommend letting her run.i know it's scary but the younger she learns the better..it's definitely a learning curve for both but I've found it to be easiest when they are young.thats just my experience though.im sure many would argue.love love love the new addition!

I don't even know what your channel is about. Kaya is the only reason you ended up on my radar. 😄😍 Oooo..... you did still get some great footage of the deer though. I guess Kaya was sleeping. 😅 Awwwwe.... she's so sweet when she winds down, and always cute at every energy level. 😊

Totally enjoyed that adventure!❤️

Jonathon ~ you’ve added a whole new meaning of FUN & ADVENTURE with Kaia . She is the sweetest and most cute little girl OMG . She’s blessed to have found her Happy home with you n Tessa … you have jus the right elements of being a new pup dad . You’re gonna Love her …. She is a fast learner I see and her puppy sleeps / naps are so cute . Moving forward she will be even more adjusted to all the new FUN she will bring to your life . I do suggest a puppy bed for your back seat for her or a pup seat that she’ll adjust to ENJOY her …. She seems to have a HAPPY personality full of Love . I’m very Happy you’ve brought her into your life’s adventures 🐶😄 ( and yes I am a dog / puppy lover ) she IS a SPECIAL one ! It shows ! Enjoy her 🐶😇😄

Your little girl is adorable and she will give you years of love and companionship!❤😊

Love the new content. Keep it up!

Great video ! This is adding a great dimension to your videos😊

yay! I hope to see Kaya become a camping doggo

I am happy for you!! BOTH!

Nice Pizza crust good work lol. Actually I have a fix I use in our similar camper oven. Put some aluminum foil on the bottom rack below the pizza. This will allow the heat to diffuse and cook evenly. Also this will catch dripping cheese as a added bonus. I usually just leave it in there and swap it out once it gets dirty. Cheers!

What beautiful examples of the wildlife. So much time and work to train this pup. It will be worth it for both of you. Blessings to you all.

Jonathan you are doing an amazing job with your new puppy

As someone who has had many many dogs, she's a puppy with better instincts than an actual baby. She'll be able to figure a lot of things out for herself as she gets bigger. That lead was fine. You just have to let her figure it out dude. She's an animal 🤙 Calibrate your oven as well 😂

You got so great close up shots of the deer!

What a cutie. You probably know but if you bring some toys and redirect that biting, bet she’ll catch on quickly and get some energy out orally :) puppies are soooooo tough. Good luck!

We have. Enjoyed lots of food cooked in our camper oven by putting a bread stone in there to protect food from burning. It works well!

lol, the no dogs rule is for most national parks too. Texas state parks allow dogs mostly. That makes me always get the state parks pass instead of the national. Because I don’t want to leave my dog when camping. ⛺️

Cute little feisty puppy 🐶

She is a handful!!!but totally Adorable!!!!!

Congratulations on the puppy. Our lab doesn't have any set time for feeding. He was the same way. We leave a daily amount of food in his bowl at all times. By the end of the day, it is usually gone. Invest in a pizza stone to leave in the oven. I place mine under the rack. Does a great job of distributing the heat in the oven when using it.

You might want to invest in a dog proof seat cover. Accidents do happen😏😏

You need a blanket for the dog. When the blanket or mat is out the dog will settle down and sleep. Also a few chew bones and toys will keep him occupied. Also you can get a part leash extension the clips right into the seat belt. Your dog is a cutie. Very smart. The dog that I currently have is the only dog that will travel in the car. But she will sit quietly on a patio outside. We have lots of pet friendly patio restaurants - breweries. Enjoy enjoy. Make many memories with your fur baby.

Love her ears!

Enjoyed it alot and you will truly enjoy your little girl with you . 😂be careful stay safe

Love those ears!! ❤

Love it❤️😊❤️

kaya is wonderful. setting up a trolly system is great for containing and avoiding tangling. especially if you incorporate a retractable leash.

She’s beautiful

Just lost my pup of 13 years this morning, she went to the great big dog heaven in the sky 💕🐶🐾 PS- nice you had lots of company on this one Kaya, Tess n Kat 🤙

Hi Tessa Good to see You again, hi Katrina nice to meet You. And Kaya is Your typical puppy glad Your pizza was still edible and no fire. Bye Aloha and GOD BLESS You Girls. Goodnight Johnathan & Kaya Goodmorning. Safe Journeys as Always Aloha & GOD BLESS You & Jaya too. See You on the next one Bye Kaya 🥰⚘⚘⚘⚘

🙋🏽‍♀️everyone so great to see everyone 🫶🏽stand strong in her training 👍🏽👍🏽

Not sure if you are using a crate when you are home or not. It is a great safety and training tool. Many breeds of dogs can not be left home alone, especially when they are young. They will tear the place apart when you're gone or when you're sleeping. Pet stores also have water bottles that you can attach to the crates, so no need to worry that your fur baby isn't getting the water she may need. They learn quickly not to drink too much and then have to pee when in the crate. I also noticed that crate training lets your companion know that you are in charge and they are not. They learn that and also learn self control. My Aussi used her crate once she was older much like a den when I wasn't home. It had her favorite blanket and toys in it and she felt safe, comfortable, liked it and would sleep in it even with the door open.

Kaya is adorable.Your doing a great job with her. I had my dog up in the North Coast mountain range between Seaside and portland. On the logging roads and she ended up with six ticks on her. And I found one on me. So you might want to check her for ticks when you get her out of the woods. Safe travels Jonathan and Kaya

She is so pretty . Nice company....

Aw...so cute looks like you both had a good time , I guess you will be watching more closely on parks where they allow dogs 🙂❤️

Hi Jonathan so glad you adopted a puppy.

Dog hammock for back seat is a gamechanger

She is beautiful

Love the dog in the video ! Please don't apologize for Kaya as she is adorable.

When we were camping and had a dog all I had to say was go camping my dog would go crazy ready to go.

Ruffware makes a really great dog tie out that goes between two tree or objects suspended and then you just clip them to the line with their dog leash. It eliminates so much of the headache of them getting tangled in everything. Our dogs are 8 and 9 and they never stopped getting wrapped up in stuff lol.

Her ears are so cute!

I love her

Her ears are the best 😂😂

Really missed not having a video last week, but seeimg you two camping is awesome. Waiting to get a dog of my own to go on adventures with

Good doggy!

VERY NICE !!! SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR DOG !!!!!!!

Been watching your videos for a couple years now, Kaya is super cute! I remember the excitement of getting my pup (she's a year and a half now) Just PLEASE be careful until she's fully vaccinated, Ive seen multiple friends loose their puppies to parvovirus from taking them out at a young age.

oh my gosh she is so cute

Look into one of those rear seat covers for dogs that allow you to attach to the front seat headrests

Aww - I love the puppy. You're training her really well.

Please show your puppy all the time ❤❤❤

Those ears! 😍

Kaya is sooo sweet, put a dog bed and get soon to be favorite blanket in the back or front

Enjoy camping with your dog. We started last season with 3 dogs and ended with 1. We are starting the season with 1 dog. Enjoy camping!!

I bought a collar lead that goes from the collar to the seatbelt and it’s probably 18 inches but it keeps the dog in the backseat and it also keeps them safe real easy. You just unbuckle it like a seatbelt.

Try mixing 1-2 TBSP of wet food with the dry food and see if she eats all her food faster

Jon I’m all for puppy videos. Stay patient with her

Great video
