Introducing my new puppy and some puppy tips for the first day home! 

I hope this becomes a series. There's a lot to learn in owning a new puppy. Especially the mistakes that I didn't know I made when we got our puppy.

My dog 🐶 is now 9 years old, I started following you since he was a baby. I loved you back then and still nothing has changed. You are the BEST and kindest dog trainer to date. Thank you very much. ❤️ Love all you videos ❣️

He was so calm in this video, apart from the end of the film you would never say that he is mouthing on your hands and cloth!

That is the cutest little baby, I like how you explained how you have to be respectful!! Many people don’t know that!!

My heart melted when his tail started wagging. What a sweet heart! I would be interested in seeing how to appropriately introduce a young puppy to a new person/how to explain to the person what to do when meeting your puppy.

Oh my he is SO HANDSOME. I adore when they have eye patches like that AND he has tan points. Precious. Congrats on another new baby! He got really lucky with you. Thank you for the amazing content as always.

the little dot on his head is so cute! he is going to be STUNNING when grown up 😊

So happy for you! I love when you can tell when people are truly enthusiastic and motivated to have a new puppy. We have a new 3 month old pup and your videos are essential! Thank you and congratulations!

Awh ❤️ Emily trying to justify getting a new pupper! Don't worry we won't judge, we're 100% with you 🤩

Your spoiling us with all these tutorials & then a puppy video also!!! Thanks so much for sharing & posting. Congratulations on your new family pack member. Absolutely adorable & a super perfect surprise. He is certainty very handsome. Think I missed his name, sorry. Looking forward to watching all your interactions & seeing him grow with the rest of the pack. Sure you will make fantastic progress in a very short time with him as always. Absolutely loving your channel & all what you do. Thanks so much.

Looking forward to seeing what his name is. When my rough collie Clary (a few months younger than Halo) came I well remember how tiring she was. When awake, there was no leaving her and she was outside every 20 mins which prevented almost all potty accidents.

I’m always so happy to see videos from you! Great stuff

What an adorable pup. Looking forward to seeing his development. He is so very fortunate to have you as a guardian. I know a lot about puppies but once again I picked up some new tips from you. Been meaning to tell you, I love your hair style. I could never pull it off but you wear it well. Your overall confidence in how you train comes off so sweet and friendly but very effective. You handle yourself so naturally with your dogs.I believe that is part of your success. I don’t just watch what you do but the way you carry yourself around your pack. I think if someone repeated your instruction but were high anxiety it would not work. Edit: grammar

Thanks for the insight on possible problems with keeping them on leash in the house. I hadn’t thought of the pulling issue. ❤️

Loved your video and calming training. I needed to see this today! I felt more calm just watching you and this will definitely help my interaction with my big Mastiff puppy who sees me as a litter mate and not the leader of the household.

Weee puppyyy ❤️❤️ Happy for you and it's more then obvious it was love at first sight 😀 Enjoy your time together!

What an adorable puppy! Congratulations. I'd love to have new episodes as he grows up, like a series.

Love all your puppy videos -- it's been so helpful to see you start from the ground up and see their progress through adulthood. It's really helped me to understand just how much impact we have on our dogs during their first year of life, and the importance of making sure that impact is deliberate so you can lay the firmest foundation possible. Learning to recognize the source/cause of so many common behaviors and traits, both desirable and not, as well as being able to understand how my current dog's behavior was shaped by my "parenting", is going to be really important when raising my next puppy.

This is so helpful! My family has been struggling to teach our 3 m Aussie Pyr mix to not mouth / bite us. Thank you for teaching us that we've been, inadvertently, too high key with our petting and playing. And thank you for giving us the tools to reinforce the behavior we want! PS What an adorable puppy fate has brought you - congrats!

Right,it's normal. Super sweet and perfectly puppy. Best puppy in the world. And,i forgot. The mother sleeps on the couch to your right,cause she trust in you, to handle her sweet puppy right. Super.

This was such a well-made, informative video. You explained everything so clearly, and the metaphor about a pup's mouth being like a toddler's hand was a really hellpful way of looking at things. I got my dog as an adult but if I ever end up with a puppy I will definitely be using these tips! Thanks for another great video!

Almost having PTSD of my groodle puppy .... Thankfully 6 months now and feeling past the pain.

i wish i knew about you a year ago when we first got our dog home

Brilliant content. Thank you

What a cute puppy!😍

Such a cutie ☺️. Great tips!

This is great Emily. So glad that my pup is not too far from yours! This way I can practice many things that you will be doing too! :)

This video was really valuable, thank you. 😊 I'm getting my puppy in a few weeks and preparing the environment for him now. This video has shown me a few things I want to change from my original plans. 😊

VERY cute!! Huge Congrats! I have a now one year old Aussie pup and motion is a huge thing for her. I still have problems with the broom but it's getting better slowly. She goes and sits on her cot. When she is outside I put her in a down while I'm raking etc. It's coming along tho!! Thanks for posting these videos, Always so informative and easy to listen to.

He’s sooooo adorable, so small:). Congratulations!! I’m smiling along with Slpash:)

love your videos! First one!

Omg no way!! What a sweet new baby !!

Very sweet new baby. 💜

"not mouthing is a worry" - I was hoping you'd expand on this a bit more. My puppy never mouthed, even a little bit. At the height of her teething, she still didn't mouth anything inappropriate - just bit at the air until I supplied an ice treat.

Your videos are helps a lot for us! And the pup is so sweet! 😍

Aaawwweeee!! These puppiez are soo cutee!!

What a lucky little puppy. All your dogs are lucky! If I die and come back as a Border Collie puppy will you adopt me??

Wonderful timing! We are picking up a new puppy this saturday!

I'm in love with your puppy! Great intro to training!

Baby Dream -hugs :(

excellent topic and video thanks so much

He’s absolutely adorable Emily, and it was so cute watching the other dogs just resting up. His markings are gorgeous, even has a “naughty spot” on his nose 🤣 as most border collies do ❤️ You can see this pup is a special one indeed.

omg he is too cute!!! btw you are such an amazing trainer. I love watching you. thank u

Thanks for your introduction. A lovely doggie. Eight weeks, so you have a full month for socialization. This is gonna work out fine. We are so glad for you. Very good tutorial too.

So very well explained and the duration of this video is perfect.

So cute 😍 you love border collies !!!

omg dank my BC pup's been feisty lately!

Super cute smart button and all!

Can you try and show some videos where your puppy is actually doing physical mouthing or jumping up and grabbing in order to show people what to do when their dog does the incorrect choice? Your puppy is adorable but already so calm and focused in this video because your training is so great. I would love to share you working with this puppy with clients but I’m sure the first thing I’m going to hear is “ no matter what we do he still jumps up and is mouthy when the kids are playing “ etc - probably the way your pup was initially. Of course it’s much harder for the typical family with kids to set a puppy up for environmental success the way we do as trainers. Just a thought… Would be very helpful if he has any bursts of imperfect behavior you can catch it on film lol!

Im sorry Kikopup, I CANT WATCH THE CUTENESSSSSS (I automatically said "awhh thats such a good dogggyyy" and i keep repeating it haha)

What a cute puppy !! He's lucky to have you too, he will be so loved 🥰💕 !! Always enjoy your videos, and especially like how calm you are. We named our newest Scottie puppy Benny, everyone thinks it's such a cute name. Good luck and he will be great like all your dogs !!

He's gonna be so great! Already he's such an attentive puppy, wow! Perfect trainer dog. ;)

He is absolutely beautiful 💕 💕

Gorgeous puppy! I like watching you train with your dogs on Instagram.

Congrats Emily! What a lovely pup 🙂!

Great video! Thanks for sharing this.

ANOTHER ONE! WOO HOO!!!

This guy is really knowledgeable

Awe! I saw the IG post of this little guy that Kurt from Canine Conservatory re-posted. Oh how I LOVE a Border puppy!!

You are so amazing and patient to have so many amazing dogs! We just got an English bulldog puppy who also super mouthy lol Give the dog a bone R+ Trainer

I'd love to see your puppy pen set up!

He's adorable. But I gotta say, the star of the show is the doggo under the sofa lol

Great video. Been thinking of getting a puppy myself. Was wondering if you go out with your new pup at night also every 2 hours? What is the night routine with regards to potty training?

For a puppy who is already an established “mouther” of clothes, hands, etc, would you approach the training in the same way? Ie start stationary, items of interest laying but not moving etc? And then progressively make the items more interesting (ie with movement) once they are able to succeed with the easier stimulus?

Thanks for the useful content. Can you tell how you think it is the best for the first nights with a new puppy? They can awake and want some contact... And also what about their bathroom at night? Generally i would like to hear about these exhausted days.. how many days it takes?

Wow I’m new to your channel, already learned a ton, love your approach to all of the behavior training you’re establishing since day one. The petting calmly that is so helpful even for adults. Looooveee your puppy and the other border collies on the sofas. Is there a preferred spot to pet a fearful dog ? I was told once to pet under ears, it’s better than what i was doing before but I’d love to hear your approach. Thanks

I had a keeshond pup for a week (long story short we returned him to the breeder after 5 days because our elderly cat stopped eating from the stress and I busted my knee and couldn't carry the pup up and down the stairs for him to potty) and he bit me, to the point of drawing blood, constantly. Toys were interesting for about 2 minutes and then he wanted FLESH. He didn't care about chew toys and only food distracted him, for a little bit, from biting me. He also barely wanted to sleep. I wish I knew what I did wrong. I tried your methods with calm training on mats and he enjoyed that but as soon as we stopped, he'd get excited and bite the heck out of me again!

Great video. How long does it take for the puppy to generalize not mouthing and biting outside the training session? My puppy is pretty perfect inside the training session but still bites at my ankles and tugs my jeans when she gets overly excited. This is usually in the mornings as she wakes up pretty raring to go. LOL.

Can you do a video on sleeping thru the night and what to do if puppy wakes up?

Hi I love your videos🥰. I have been following your videos for at least 9 years. I was wondering if you can make a video about different toys and how to use them with your dog. I have an 11 year old Shetland sheepdog Arthur 🐶 Love from Denmark

my pups 9weeks and im watching all your videos... and recording some stuff...

Our neighbors just got a bichon frise poodle mix puppy. It's their first dog so I gave them the link to this video.

What should a puppy owner do if a puppy starts being mouthy in an area where you can't redirect to a toy? I had a foster puppy who was constantly mouthy, I kept trying to teach her appropriate behavior but she was so determined to bite hands! Especially when we were on walks, I struggled to get her to not be mouthy if someone tried to say hi to her (which happened often--and she would just bite their hands!)

I don’t know what the rules are in your region, but if it is possible, could you do a vet video? My older dog recently had a health scare so I’ve been going to the vet 5x in 5 days now, and the stronger she gets the more difficult she gets going there. I want to do right with my future puppy, even though that might take a while since I’m scared to get one after this health scare 😅 Your pup looks wonderful

When you said it was destiny, I thought that could be a cute name for him.

Hey Emily. How do you have enough hours in the day to take care of so many Border Collies at once? I was taught that every BC is a bundle of energy that needs lots of stimulation every day to prevent boredom/destructive behavior. I realize this is basically your full-time job, but I'm still wondering how to put that into the right perspective. Do they all exercise at the same time? Do you take turns? How do you not become exhausted and overwhelmed? Or am I seriously overestimating the anecdotes I'm hearing about BCs?

Does using the clicker and not rewarding your other dogs cause confusion? Or is it more like they know the clicker does not apply to them if you are not working with them directly?

My puppy (just 9 weeks, and also a border collie), isn't food motivated (she had some tummy issues but is feeling better today). How would you train this if you can't really use treats? I've been redirecting with toys and chews and being calm around her. But toys obviously increase her arousal (I use them when she gets bitey outside). Any advice? Should I just wait till she has more of an appetite to train?

I just got my first puppy on Friday! She is an 8 week old Australian Shepard. She’s very mouthy and I’ve been doing lots of research on how to work on that. I’ve found she’s not extremely food motivated though and often will get bored if I’m trying to distract her with food and go back to biting. She also jumps up and bites at my face at times. I would love any tips if you have them! Thank you :)

Do you have any suggestions for when friends/family members come over to see and play with your puppy in the first weeks? Unfortunately, not everyone is respectful of the rules you are trying to teach your dog, so how do you ensure these interactions (like excitable petting, allowing playful mouthiness, etc) do not completely undo the training or confuse them?

If you always redirect puppy biting, do you think this hinders them developing good bite inhibition?

Is he a tri? Or merle? Very calm too! Love him. Name?

Don't they also mouth when teething?

I just got a 10 week old puppy and she is so wild 😰

You should call him Dream

Since you weren't really planning on getting another new pup, how about Alibi as a name. 😉

We are selling 5 of our puppies for half the price due to a capacity problem we’re currently facing,contact us if you’re searching for a fur baby..

You have to walk on egg shells around these mutants. They are the pits and other countries cull them because of attack. You dog nuts have blood on your hands with all these attacks on kids.

notice how you have to KEEP calming them down. NO other animal has this issue. Dogs are so ugly. No other animal hangs their mouth open with that big ugly tongue hanging out. Sick. You dog nuts like to have mutts off leash and then when they attack you do nothing. ANY time a mutt gets loose it looks for anyone to attack.
