consistency. consistency is key. i worked with my dog because we didn't have a closed-in fence at first like you and eventual after letting her know her boundaries, people and dogs would walk past and she eventually would walk up to the end of it but just watch them pass, knowing she wasn't allowed passed a point. and as for the door, I always have her sit before letting her out for her to ask for permission from me first. i have so much respect for you. i was so excited for you to get Frankie and seeing you go beyond and putting more work and training in than a typical dog owner is very exciting to see. you two make a wonderful team and love watching the videos and have even learned a thing or two from you guys. keep up the great work. sending support from colorado!
Aussies are very sensitive breeds and they take everything very seriously including the move. I have a collie mix and I experience those sensitive traits. Do you also feel that Frankie is a sensitive one?
@@FrankieToTheMoon I've worked with many working breeds and one thing that they have in common is sensitivity and perfection. I remember one where I could control him with my fingers.
@@FrankieToTheMoon Thank you so much Frankie is such a beautiful dog and I’m happy to call myself part of this channels family, I have an Aussie as well and he has a huge biting problem (he is a puppy) do you have any tips on how to overcome this?
Watching you guys from Barrhaven. My wife & I are picking up our first mini American mid March after 12 years with our beloved Brittany Spaniel who passed recently. Thanks for sharing Frankie with us!
Our little family (including @pixies_pixels624) just moved into a new home too, with a backyard that wasn’t completely enclosed. My husband bought chicken wire and plastic posts from Lowe’s (not sure what the Canadian equivalent is, maybe Home Depot?). He spent an afternoon closing in the gaps and it works great! I guess the snow may make install trickier than California weather, but I’m sure you’ll make it work! We love you guys! Thanks for the great videos!
Here is something I worked on with my dogs to meet each other set up a walk with ollie and his owner then have each dog walk on the outside of the each owner then slowly move them to where they are next to each other and keep doing this for a while and let them sniff each other and work your way up to maybe going to the dog park hope this helps 😁🐶🦮
That’s a great idea... it’s just covid is still very active where we live so trying to keep distance. I was thinking about going to a neutral spot so neither dog is defensive. But Ollie is 12 years old so idk
I've been anxiously awaiting this video! Congrats! So excited for you guys! Just a friendly suggestion from another dog owner and subscriber, maybe take off Frankie's collar when you can't supervise him? There's been countless incidents where dogs have strangled themselves when their collar and/or tags got stuck in their crate, in a floor vent, or somewhere else in the house. I just don't want to see Mr. Franks hurt.
aw thank you! And to be honest, I much rather keep it on him. It is a fully rubber collar and especially right now with the risk of him leaving the backyard I just need it on him at all times. Eventually when we get more settled it may come off.
@@FrankieToTheMoon I totally get it! I agree about it being on in the backyard, I actually meant just when he's in his kennel by himself, or in the house by himself/not supervised. But it's totally up to you, you know your dog and situation best! I just wanted to let you know :)
I's sure Frankie will luvs his new yard! Mom says we is moving too next year . . . but into bigger house next doors. I's confused. Hows will I know which door to bark at?!
