My Golden Retriever Puppy's First Night Alone... 

Montana is so funny. Love how she protested going out like, "No thanks, but you can rub my belly" 😅

Joey pointing out the mole and Daniel saying awhile ago that it gets darker in the sun, but today it gets darker when it's cold out. I am laughing so hard.

The way you handled the drama was so graceful, I'm so proud of you, you definitely didn't deserve the drama that went down on Twitter. Slayed that queen

Crate training is amazing! Gives them a safe place they call home or “Disneyland” happy place lol. Keeps them on a good schedule as a puppy and will likely sleep all night! Give her treats and do research it will be great

Crate training is always a good idea, even when you don’t crate your dogs at home. It’s mainly beneficial when you have to take them to the vet, a groomer, etc. where they might end up in a cage for a period of time while waiting. Our big guy is not crate trained at all (got him at 3 and he is way too afraid of them) and we can’t leave him anywhere at all.

You don’t understand how excited I am to see Yarrow grow up!

What I would actually do right away is put a crate (without the door on it) in with her with the setup you already have and make it super cozy so she likes going in and that way she’ll be used to the crate when you move her into your room later. Crate training is amazing for keeping puppies out of trouble and giving them a safe place to relax and sleep

We crate trained our black lab puppy, which REALLY helped with potty training. He cried a couple times to go potty every night for a bit and we would bring him out, but he ended up being fully house trained at 3/4 months old and he’s now 8 months with no accidents. He also loves his crate because it’s his safe space. I know it’s hard in the beginning but once they get used to the crate a couple nights, they will only make noise if they need to potty. Love your puppy content by the way ❤️

Crate training is 100% worth it especially with a golden. They will go in and out of major chewing phases where their entire goal in life is to chew up your house. The crate gives them a safe place to go when you can’t watch her. Also if you crate train her slowly and are patient (play the games, time limits when starting, snuggle puppy, etc) she will love it and go there optionally on her own over time.

I love how wholesome joey is with his nephew!! 💛😁

My dogs are crate trained and I don't use them much anymore but i leave my big guys open and he goes in there by himself when he wants his own space and such. It is his safety area that he can come and go as he pleases. Plus in any situation where the dogs need to be crated like a vet or something, they will freak out less.

Your nephew is ADORABLE!!!!!

Joey and Daniel have such a good friendship 🤣

Crate training is always good. Especially if you go to the groomers or they are scared of bad weather or fireworks. With a blanket on top, it gives es them a place to go hide and feel safe.

He so good with them, growling is just a way of him telling them what the boundaries are. He sneezes a lot with them but that’s a dogs way of telling you they’re not threatening

Monty is a whole vibe. Lover her

People who make fun of unproblematic people for no reason is really giving mean girl who peaked in high school energy. They only embarrassed themselves lmao they're clearly so bored with their sad life because anyone who does that aren't living fulfilling happy lives themselves. Keep living your best magical life ✨

Screw anyone shading you. Good for you, I hope your stuff sells for millions! Your nephew is adorable. Just saw the picures on IG. Pups are soooooo cute!!!!!!! Also, I need another Joey shirt. I love my shirt with your name upside down on the shirt. I get so many compliments on it.

Crate training is definitely a must whether your dog uses a crate or not, it’s useful in situations when they have to

Don't worry about that Tweet Joey, you are kind and lovely and unproblematic. People will find anything to tear someone down. Look at your amazing life, pets, friends, house and your thriving youtube channel xD They are probably wasting their life and energy on hating people for no reason. You are blessed and we and the many animals you have helped are blessed to have you!

I love how Monnie is the uncle for every liter

Love how Moon has taken on the father role hes teaching them so well when they start licking and submiting he leaves them alone but if they start misbehaving he gently growls to let them know to not push him such a good boy.

Definitely important to do crate training so when u leave and they are safe and feel comfortable at home and just leave a treat and etc ❤

I miss the pack of puppies! They were so amazing. All the new parents are so blessed.

I think it’s brilliant you do Depop!! People would be crazy not to earn where they can! Smart Joey very smart ❤

So happy you kept Yarrow! As you well know, puppy stage is a lot of work but crate training helps with housebreaking. Once my puppies were crate trained I kept the crate open and they could go in and out as they pleased. If they didn’t seem to go in it anymore, I would just pack it up and put it away. My last golden liked going in to nap or sleep so I left it up.

I don’t use a crate anymore at my home but my dog does use one when I take her to spend time with a family member while I am at work. She is in the crate for a couple hours until people wake up and set her free. I give her a kong with a treat inside and she takes a nap to pass time. I like that she still has crate experience in case of an emergency where it would be needed.

I really appreciate that you turned a negative into something positive with the person being rude to you. Good job

Your nephew just gets cuter by the second!

Joey is the best uncle!❤

So funny how Monty kept trying to change the subject and distract you so you wouldn't continue talking about what she did 😁!! My dog would only go out in the rain if we put her rain coat (It had a hood too) on first. She did NOT'want to get wet! Maybe Monty would like a rain coat ☔

Congratulations I'm so happy that your leaving today wood's. I'm so happy that someone finally adopted you wood's.

It’s gonna be little hard for yarrow to be by herself since she’s use to being with her siblings Hope she gets better at being independent! ❤

Joey don't worry about the trolls on Twitter, they obviously don't have a life to be coming after you. Your daughter is sooo beautiful, you're right she looks like Monty. I am glad Woods is adopted such a good-looking boy can't believe everyone fell through.Nice to see the banter between you and Daniel goes on. Take care of yourself and have a good night's sleep.

What I did with my dog when he was a puppy is I had a feeding schedule and water schedule. Whenever he would eat or drink I would let him outside to go potty and I would wait until he went potty then would go inside. This was very effective he doesn’t have any accidents and he lets me know when he has to go potty by either standing by door, getting my attention with a howl or bark. Also did crate training only at night time but I would let him go potty before I put him in crate then I would wake up early to take him out since he was a puppy.

Crate training is always beneficial, even if you don’t end up using it. There may be times that your dog needs to be crated at the groomer, vet, etc, and it’s important for them to be familiar and not stressed.

Montana is looking at Joey as if to say you want me to go out in the rain in these shoes lol

Crate training can be good for vet visits or grooming. It is best to not have an anxious pup when put into a crate they haven’t had training with

Omg you are just a gentle beautiful soul. I loved seeing u with the baby

I am 100% for crate training. It gives them a safe space but also gives you a place to put them if needed to keep them out of trouble. My dog loves his crate. The older ones don't use a crate anymore but they all did the first couple of years.

It's so sad to see them go, But so good to know they are going to the best homes.🙂 They grew up so fast oml. So cute💀

joey and daniels relationship is hilarious

i crate trained my now 8 month old puppy when i got her at 12 weeks old. it was bad for the first 2 weeks - getting up every few hours to let her outside. but after the initial 2 weeks, she began to prefer the crate. she still goes in at night and i don't have to worry about her wandering around the house getting into things or even pottying in the house. it trains them to hold their bladder overnight faster. after you get past that first few weeks, it's golden

From someone who had a Golden retriever I would crate train, they'll grow to love the crate with time.

Dogs generally love having a covered place to hide, and some really love sleeping in a crate at night. Some love sleeping in a dog bed or a human bed. Depends on the dog. Puppy training involves keeping them under control when you aren't there, and the kennel/puppy space isn't exactly fully enclosed. Yarrow is big enough where she could easily start crawling or jumping out abd exploring the house. I would personally recommend the crate when she's alone just until she's trained. Plus, she'll be safe there. If she wants to use it as she gets unto adulthood, that could be up to her. My last dog refused to sleep in my bed at night; she preferred the covered and enclosed comfort of her kennel. My other dogs hated it. Just depends on your training needs and the dog's personality as it gets older.

Crate training can be really helpful, it's like a den for the dog to make them feel secure and safe. My general rule though is if they aren't comfortable in the crate then don't force it. One dog loves it and still sleeps there, the other whined and whined. It isn't necessary but can be helpful for when you leave the house or need some space.

Hi joey! I would absolutly crate train her because this will be less stressful if you need to go to the vet or send her in daycare things like that!

Hi Joey! About crate training: So for my dog, I crate trained her when she was young because it’s easier to train them then. Now she hardly goes in it but just in case it’s always good for her to be able to be in it and not feel scared. It is also a great potty training method and building up the amount of time they can hold in the need to go to the bathroom for drives and other things like that.

Our Daniel is cute also. If he smiles more he is so lovable

The look Zakura gave you when you made her go out in the rain was so pitiful, it was ligit 🥺Soooo cute!!!

I highly, highly, highly recommend crate training. It is something that every dog should know even if you don’t plan on using it everyday!!!

The way Yarrow took to you reminds me of the way Moon did when he was a puppy. She was your girl from the beginning, I’m happy she’s the one that you decided to keep. She’s gonna be the best girly

We crate trained our puppy and it worked out really well. She never peed in her crate and other than the first night she didn’t whine. We had the crate in our room so she wouldn’t be lonely. We only put her in the crate at night to sleep or if she needed a time out. We needed to get a good night sleep and we couldn’t have a puppy roaming around the house so it was the best solution. She is a beautiful puppy and she’s going to have a wonderful life with you and your pack.

I think Joey's ready for kids! You are THE best uncle!! So good with your nephew 💙 it's so sweet!!

I think its awesome you have a depop! I love buying thrifted/vintage items & you're contributing to reusability

It's so cute when outside and Moon is being gruff and Monty puts herself between Moon and the pups. It's so protective, I noticed that in Daniel's vlog yesterday to.

Nephew is so adorable!

I always recommend crate training. It can be a wonderful tool, especially if you plan on leaving her home while you go out for any extended period of time. She should learn to enjoy being in her crate. ❤️

Had a chocolate lab for 12 ½ years she was never crate trained she never went into one. She was the most well behaved dog never had any issues or problems. She had her bed which was her safe place

Crate training doesn't just help for when dogs need to stay in a crate. It also gives them a positive association with a safe "den" space. My rescue tends to run fairly anxious and "introverted", and has some fear issues with noises, and he intentionally seeks out his crate almost daily to hang out and recharge, instead of being stuck around people or situations he's uncomfortable or fearful in. As long as I leave the door open and have a cover over the top to make it dim and enclosed, it's actually his preferred nap location, to the point that when he is locked in it he just goes to sleep while I'm gone now. The main thing is it's important not to use the crate as a punishment or as something they only go in when you're leaving the house; that's how they develop a negative association with it and try to avoid it.

Montana is so cute and I hope Yarrow’s first night went well❤️ Your nephew is so adorable!!

Well I guess we are at the end now that Woods has his new forever home, so bittersweet. Yarrow is such an incredibly good girl, wonder how well she slept all by herself, so let us know. Thanks Joey, and don't let those negative ninnies get you down

I have two husky’s and both are completely crate trained. And the first one I got at 12 weeks old and she was abused and never let inside, the crate is her safe place. It’s absolutely possible to crate train a Husky

Deepop is a AMAZING way to save the planet and recycle ♻️

Crate training is worth it. Especially in a home with multiple pets, it will be here own safe space.

Hi Joey! I loved how you handled the haters, you're an amazing person who doesn't deserve it. Your nephew is super cute and thanks for sharing the video and pictures of your trip to Disney. Do what you feel is right concerning crate training. I'm excited to watch yarrow grow up, she's the sweetest puppy! The banter between Daniel and you is hilarious lol. Stay safe and strong! Much 💖 from 🇨🇦

Joey, I'm proud of you for not stooping to their level, and turning a negative tweet into something positive. Also, all the photos you're posting of your nephew on insta are so sweet. Made my day! Love always, Kim and Karen Lynn

I never crate trained my Dalmatian and he learnt pretty well to always go outside , specially having a garden like yours.

Highly recommend crate training. It's so worth it

The boys are so soft spoken and innocent. Braylon sounds so genuine 🥺

Please keep them once the happiness all gone i am very sad even i am still sleepin i can hear. Love all the remnants of doggies n puppies 😢😢😢❤❤❤oh puppies

definitely crate train!!! so many benefits for them, even if it's not how the end up sleeping as adults. also avoid using the pee pad for a continued period because it makes training them to go outside harder. happy to elaborate on either point!

Crate training is good in case you need to leave her w someone or somewhere new she’ll always feel safe in her crate also gives u like some sense of authority over her

Monty is such a great dog!

Geez, what's wrong with having a Depop store? Trolls and bullies are just sad, lonely people who will find anything to pick apart in others...🙄 I love your Depop and Crystal Wolf stores, and it has made me very happy to buy multiple items from both!! 💜🤩 Good to see you having fun with your fam (and bantering with Daniel, lol). Can't believe how much your nephew has grown! All the dogs are so funny and cute, Moonie, Monty, Storm, the bebes. Monty better watch out for Sakura tho, I don't think that queen will put up with her food being pirated 🤣

This has to be the best way to handle haters- turn their hate to your advantage. I’m enjoying seeing yarrow grow up too. ❤

With my dog we never crate trained him because we wanted him to sleep with us and he walks around the house comes sleep with everybody and then he goes back to my parents room Also with the PP pads it's very convenient although it's a pain to clean up at night we don't have to take him out

Crate training is the one thing I almost always recommend as a trainer. You really do not need to use it at home once you are comfortable with letting them roam, but it is helpful in so many situations. It might be that your dog needs to be crated at the vet or groomer or another place and dogs who have not been crate trained will often freak out or be nervous in those situations, while a crate trained dog knows that a crate is a safe space and will generally just settle in. In an emergency it will also help keep your dog calm if they need to be crated. For example if there were something to happen to you at home and emergency services have to enter your home, they will likely crate your dogs if they are in the way and if a crate is available. For my own dogs I do still have one crate out for each and they love their crate (they all know which is theirs). They often crate themselves when we have people over or so and they just want to relax away from the people. They also know no one will bother them in there, so sometimes they'll take an enrichment toy or so in there, so no other dog takes it (we do not allow the dogs to go into each other's crate). We no longer close the crates, as we don't need to, but I know that if it is needed they'll just be fine being in there.

We used to have our dog in a crate for whenever we left but my parents decided that she was trained enough to not destroy anything, there better whenever they weren't in the crate when we left since they whined and barked a lot compared to when they weren't in a crate. I don't really have a opinion but if they are trained not to destroy or pee or poop on stuff I feel like crate training isn't needed. And I honestly love Monty she reminds me of my own dogs who doesn't like going out in the rain, they'll also avoid the mud at all costs even if it means jumping off the side of the deck to avoid going in the mud. They also avoid touching a towel what was our over cleaning stuff that was put on the carpet to clean cat puke. They will hug there body against the wall to walk by and even jump over it. I think it's cause the spell since when it was sprayed with air freshener they had no problem walking on the towel it's honestly hilarious

Yarrow is already used to being inside that clear puppy pen so I'd just leave her there until she is big enough to jump out. Every time you take the other dogs out, take Yarrow out too so she learns the routine from the beginning. Especially take her out before bedtime since puppies pee a lot. If she pees in the crate, then she has to sleep in it since there's no room in the crate to go anywhere else.

I found that my new pups always learned very quickly what when and where to go from the older dogs

Joey you would make a great dad. You are so patient with your nephew. You two are so adorable.

Hey Joey, I have a German Shepard she’s 1 and a half. I never put her in a crate. I got her at 8 weeks old. I playpen and pellet pan trained her. It’s basically a flat pan with wood pellets. She is BOTH OUTSIDE POTTY TRAINED AND PELLET TRAINED. I still have her pellets she uses it when it’s raining or when I’m at work. She only had 2 accidents on the floor and honestly it was my fault. She free roams around the house all day and at night she is completely trained to stay on her bed and sleep. She knows she’s not allowed to roam when it’s bed time. So it’s very possible to train your puppy without a crate. Just takes a lot of repetition. And having a potty pan in the house helps too to eliminate in house accidents when your at work or sleep etc. Good Luck

Other posts already explained the importance of crate training. However you could put the crate in the pen to let her get used to it. That way you don't have to close the crate immediately and she already feels safe being enclosed in her pen.

I have a golden who we got as a baby, he is crate trained and loves his crate! We don’t use it as a punishment! He sleeps in there sometimes bc he likes it!

Hey Joey, Best of luck to you & your puppy! I’ve been a huge fan of you & your RU-vid channel, & been subbed a long time. I hope the best!

Love you,Joey! I do NOT believe in crate training. Using pads is the best way.

Yay!!!! I was just searching RU-vid and refreshing waiting for some puppy content!!!

I love that you are busy being you and shrugging off the trolls. Keep doing that. Keep being you and your true fans will show you the love.

Joey you are so sweet and so are the fur babies! Thank you for sharing w us, always brightens my day!

Your absolutely amazing I love you so much and youve helped me so much through out the years 🥳

crate training is so good and really helps if your dog is anxious or you have other dogs as they have their own secure space which is also transportable which is another plus

I am so glad happy all the puppies got happy loving homes and so proud of you and done amazing awesome job 😊

We have a dog named Wolfgang who is part Husky, and part German shepherd. He LOVES his crate, and goes into it basically whenever he feels like it. He came from a bad home, though, so he may have used the crate to hide.

Joey im so happy u uploaded ive been tryna be as patient as I can and now i can relax tysm!!

For the crate training thing, I have a husky and my mom and I crate trained her. It was not fun whatsoever but within a few weeks she was a lot better. So I think crate training dogs is beneficial if you leave often. But if you don't put ur dogs in crates I don't think it would be a big deal if you didn't crate train her. I suggest you get her at least familiar with a crate because if you have someone watching her for you or you have to transport her. This is just my opinion from my experiences, I don't know a lot about dogs and I am not a professional WHATSOEVER.

Only two left😞 at least they have a good family btw your nephew is adorable I'm excited for this journey ❤

awee gonna miss them all they're soooo cute and i loveee watching them everyday

Aww! Such a great video!!
