Are you looking for some training exercises for your puppy? Here's what a 24 hour period looks like in our home, so you can apply these 4 rules for puppy training: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--vlo84vDSlY.html Thanks for watching!
Didn't quite work the same, got home took him outside for a pee, and he started shaking, not sure if it was fear or the temperature, but didn't want to scar him for life, so he peed on a pad, I have high expectations for this little guy.
Thank you I have watched this video over and over, I’m so excited to have my first pet but I most confess very stressed if I will be able to handle it well . Thank you for all your help.
My wife felt bad about having a crate without really knowing what we were going into (2month old malinois/gsd adopted puppy), and I decided to leash her to a corner of the living room when I need a brake or I can't be watching the puppy instead of using a crate. It's been a month a half and for having a malinois crazy dog in an appartment im pretty happy with her. I was just wondering if my leash method is damaging for the dog in any sense, she's pretty chill when she's leashed and lies on her bed most of the time, if she wines a little 2 much I go to check on her and she's never leashed alone, when we leave the house and cant take her we move her to the corridor instead with her bed and a kong toy. She's not really pulling from the leash often so I don't see any problem but I wanted to be sure about it Ty in advance, been loving your content
I would just love to let you both know that I think you are both utterly amazing in how you help us new puppy owners. So generous and clever in your approach. Thanks to you my little spaniel is coming on a treat! Thank you so so much for your wisdom and for sharing it so clearly with us all. Very best wishes Lindy Branson
Could you share your experience with travelling with your dog on a flight? What you should train to prep them for being in cargo, what documents you should have, etc?
I always wondered how you two met -- now I know. I don't even have a puppy yet but I love watching your video. When I get my puppy (my husband promised I can get one after he finishes law school), I will sign up for one of your online classes (I live in Boston, MA...in the US). I LOVE your content and I love both of you and all your doggies!
I'm picking up my new Boston Terrier this morning, I've watched hours of you videos and feel somewhat prepared. I love your approach to training, and will be putting it to practice by 11am today. I appreciate you more then you can realize, thank you very much.
@@kenwithers1258 It's challenging - no matter how prepared you are! This is the first puppy (4 months old now) that we've really used the crate the way it's supposed to be used and it's been great - but I still get stressed a bit sometimes trying to work with the little fella when he's crazy! Hope you're doing will with the Boston Terrier!
Aww, when I brought my first dog Jack for grade 1 you had just gotten Funky! I remember you using him as a demo ❤️ I’m so glad to see he is doing well. We lost our Jack in March of 2019 but thanks to McCann’s we had so many wonderful years with him, while we raised our family!
This conversation was SO helpful! We have a nine month old Borador, and he's come so far, but it's good to refresh and remember these fundamentals! Thank you!
Love your videos, always so informative! I’m a new dog trainer and still trying to learn everything, and I really enjoy watching you guys work with dogs and explain everything! Thank you! You guys are an inspiration:)
My dog is so inconsistent. We'll have a solid week of great walks. He gets super excited to meet people, so I've been really working on just walking by without losing his mind. We'll have a great few days or even a solid week, and I'll think he's really getting it, (my goal is for him to look at me when he sees someone to kind of head off the whole over-excitement thing).then all of a sudden, it's like he completely forgot anything we were doing - same scenario, same distance, etc. I am always trying to manage so I keep a close eye on the environment so I can redirect or put more distance if I see a problem situation - i.e. all people, all dogs = I have won the lottery mentality for Sherlock. We'll have 2 weeks of little to no pulling on leash, and then he reverts back to pulling. He is more of a working dog than I had anticipated based on my last dog I got from the same breeder, so he needs exercise. I am committed to at least 45-60 minutes of brisk walking, plus training sessions, plus a few play sessions, but walking is miserable when he is in one of his pulling moods. It's just super frustrating. I thought I was a decent dog trainer. My last dog was well-behaved, polite, and listened well. With this dog, I keep thinking maybe I should have just gotten a cat.
That last line, Rosanne :D. Remember that if you feel like you're struggling, take a step back in your progressions. 30 super short stretches of "good walking" is better than 1 long walk that doesn't go well. I love that you're identifying these challenges! Next step -> Stop "testing" and get back to "training". It isn't always a linear path when it comes to dog training. You can even work on some other things to tire him out instead of worrying that he hasn't gotten enough exercise. I'll add a link here to a few activities to tire him out so you can focus on shorter walking sessions: ru-vid.com/group/PL7BBgLulhermRIpWOOKh73VnLmpjiZdeg Happy Training!
@@McCannDogs - Thanks! I will try some of those other activities so we can take a bit shorter walks and/or more mini sessions. I do generally break our walks up into 2 different times so it's not all at once, but still, Sherlock is a bit of a moose (70 lbs at 10 months) so I guess the plus side is I'm getting really toned arms! :)
@@rosannebowman2592 I feel your pain! I'm in exactly the same position with my 5 month old Doberman (also huge) im sooooo glad you asked this. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you and sherlock! Good luck
I want to thank you for all your wonderful puppy training videos! They have been a lifesaver to my wife and I. We recently adopted a wonderful chiweenie puppy, Kyber Poe and these lessons have been invaluable! Thank you again!
Your videos are the only thing I’ve ever binge watched on RU-vid. 😂 Since getting our puppy 4 weeks ago, you’ve helped me SO much! Thank you!! As to consistency - any tips for reinforcing loose leash walking when taking pup out to potty in our backyard? I want her to focus on going to the bathroom so I keep her leashed and don’t want to introduce food, but that’s a spot where she can pull a lot. 😬 I take her off leash after she’s finished and go to a different part of the yard for playtime and/or do separate potty/playtime outdoor visits. Thanks in advance!
I appreciate guys making these videos. I do dog training but sometimes it seeing what others actual do in the home that help. Thanking you for allowing us to see your world and learn.
Hi Funkee, Bee-bee, Hippy girls 😍 I love that Bee and Hippy kept choosing to come back to you, and Funkee is just the best, I was so distracted by her being adorable that I need to watch again so I can pay attention to the training tips haha!
I’ve just gotten a puppy 3 days ago and your videos have helped me out so much already! But I’ve noticed all the puppies in the videos are very energetic! My pup is about to be 8 weeks old and is relatively mellow. Ive noticed she’s coming out of her she’ll say by day but the problem is getting her to GIVE me attention 😂 don’t get me wrong she likes to play and stuff but she’s definitely not jumping around all the time. Any tips on how to deal with a mellow dog???
My very first pet, a black cat, was named Deegan. He was named after Brian Deegan bc I found him with my boyfriend and we were riding dirt bikes. He died in May of 2020 at age 17. Such a good boy. Now I'm watching these videos in preparation for our puppy who should be coming home on 12/10/22. Her name will be Beaujolais, Beau for short.
Very useful Video. My Golden Retriever is going to be 1 year old in few weeks, I am still training him, yeah the word "Consistency" is missing, so every time I need to start from the beginning :( . Super good inside the house, outside the opposite whenever he gets distracted. Let me work on him for couple of weeks consistently.
Just wanted to say I’ve been watching all your videos as we recently got a Hungarian Vizsla puppy. I really wish you were in the UK so we could come train with you! I have an uncle in Toronto so maybe next time I visit him I might bring the dog! 🤣🤣 Seriously though your videos have helped loads! Keep up the good work!
Hi guys! You're videos are packed with great information so thank you very much! About crate training, is a soft sided crate (for travelling) any good in the first 2 months? Cause i will need it when my puppy will be about 4 months old to travel back to my country, so I wonder if I can use that one or must get a solid crate too. Thanks a million!
I have my Portuguese Water Dog since 6 days. My little girl name is Docteur Watson. I follow your videos with Euchre and I want to thank you for the important tip about the cage near the bed from first night. She his doing all her nights in the plastic crate since her arrival. I bought your online puppy essentials training program few days ago. Thanks!!!!!
I know this video is 2 years old, but all these Euchre trainings have been amazing. I am getting a pup next week and she is being taken at 6 1/2 weeks old. I know its recommended at 8 but she is already weened from momma and they are being socialized. The 2 times I have met her she likes to bite like all puppies do, so I know there will be a lot of training to do. She is an Ausky, Blue Heeler dad and Husky momma. I am so excited to bring her home and its been 11 years since I had a dog. Also wasnt she your brothers pup? 🤔
What do you consider the maximum time we can keep a puppy in its crate? If we go to work she would be there for like 7 hours and that feels terribly long to have her in such a small place but we cannot leave her running around the whole house either . we have a for one week now and she is only two month old! Great video, new subscriber here!
So much great information. I wonder what you guys would do if you didn't have access to a crate. I live in Sweden, where keeping your dog in a crate is unfortunately illegal. We are getting our Corgi puppy in a few weeks and I am trying to work out a routine for the first couple of months so that I can avoid mistakes.
Hi! My name is Lila! We adopted a puppy about 2 months ago and she still hasn’t learned fetch! I tried your video that you posted a few years ago but Millie (my dog) only wants to bring the ball back to her bed. What should I do? Thanks!
Hi there, Lila! Limit her options! Practice the skill in an area where she can’t go anywhere but back to you! You can also practice the retrieve while you’re sitting on her bed. Make it lots of fun when she gets back to you. Happy Training!
Any tips for training a new pup in a household with another dog that is not well trained? I have a gate up in the kitchen for my training area. But for about 4 hrs at night while I work the new pup will be with my “lazy” partner and their dog.
I just got my first puppy!! He came early (to my apartment) he’s 4 weeks old (Birthday March 22) I am aware that typically isn’t the best (9 weeks) I took him to the vet he’s 4 pounds and is healthy. He also has teeth. Can anyone suggest or direct me to one of these other videos where they talk about having to take a puppy home early??? Please and thank you 🙏🏾 I just want to give Rockko (Rottweiler and boxer mix) the best information and start him off correctly
Our puppy is 14 weeks and is being crate trained and he doesn't dispute his crate BUT he won't just randomly go in there and chill on his own. Have we done something wrong or does this come with time? He will go with a lure. We have always closed the door..m
Hello! I was wondering - I'll be getting a Frenchie puppy in June. You've been recommending the large Nylabones for puppies so they can hold on to them. as he's going to be so small, do you think the medium size would be appropriate? My current Frenchie loves his medium one :)
We are in week one with our brand new Shiba pup. Your videos are giving us sanity! Thank you! I was wondering if you all have a video that talk about skill progression? We have been working on the basics, but we aren't clear on which ones to focus on first, and which ones are built on more foundational skills. Can you point me in the right direction?
before we named our new puppy, we just kept calling him puppy and we basically accidentally taught him that he is puppy and he comes to it as well as looks at our eyes when we say it lol and e didnt even teach him that he just learned it
My seventh month old dog just had her first female cycle ? Since that time she has been lazy her physical activity and listening to verbal commands are challenging she doesn’t wanna listen any suggestion will this time pass?
You always say to keep a house line. My biggest issue is that my puppy eats the lines. allllllll the time. He's destroyed 4 in a week. I have taught off. He drops it then picks it right back up. It has become a game. Help
How do I get past literally everyone saying oh you dont take your older dog(small female 10yrs and 10lbs..) I have a 4 month old lab hes amazingly sweet and smart awesome little guy but hes a baby and we are in training.... I dont get why every one is saying things and bam first point is exactly what I'm doing how good to know I'm doing things right haha

Hi there! I have a situation with my 10 week old Dachshund puppy. She is starting to have accidents inside her crate. She doesn't seem to whine or ask to being let out, so we cannot tell when she needs to go pee. Any advice for this type of situation? Thank you so much in advance! We love your videos and we think they are extremely helpful
Hi there Sabrina! Here is a video that you might find helpful on this crate training issue: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gIDCLgqRoJs.html
Can you let me know if it’s okay to train a puppy from 10 weeks rather than 8? i was offered to take my puppy home at 10 weeks so she’s had both her vaccinations before i have her but i don’t know if this is detrimental to her training. Thank you!!
Your puppy will need vaccines up until 16-18 weeks old. Arguably the most important socialization period is from 8-12 weeks so I’d get started sooner rather than later if I were you.
Hi there, vitaminute! You can apply all of these training practices and rules to a dog of any age. What's really important is that you make sure that you're focusing on "relationship" and being a great leader for your puppy first and foremost. Once your puppy understands that you're worth listening to, the rest is pretty easy;) Congratulations on your new puppy. Happy Training!
@@McCannDogs thank you for the reply!! i’ve been watching all of your videos in preparation, especially potty training and the value of “yes” and their name :) i’ll definitely make sure ill follow your advice on the relationship first and foremost! xx
hello mccann dog training id like to ask what do you give as treats that you are allowed to give huge amounts because most treats have a limit to what u can give to the puppy

So what i understood is that 90% of people should not have dogs. It takes far too much time and commitment. "Why not?" is a very bad reason to have a dog, one that is used far too often...and the shelters are full
