Top 3 Tips For Training A Puppy 

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

Agree with you 100% on all of these for all puppies...but especially if your puppy is in the LARGE BREED category

Not a professional, but having raised two puppies to be the “perfect” companion, I can only agree. I’ve even had my friends ask if I could take their kids for a while. One thing I’ll ad is consistency. In your training and interactions with the dog, which is the “easy” part, but more so with other member of the household. No dog at the moment, but keep watching your videos and pick up great insight and advice to be put to use in case the next puppy find me.

Couldn’t agree more with not teaching my dogs tricks, obedience over crufts stuff any day. I don’t crate train but understand the benefits. I just accept for the first couple of months I will get up between 3 and 4 stand in the garden waiting for them to do their business. I also start separation training from day one. I wait outside the door and listen, once they have settled down I come back in, increasing the duration as the days go by. The more you put in early the more you get out later.

I wish I could give this video a ❤️ instead of just a 👍🏼. This is such excellent advise! ✌️💜

Thank you very much! I will soon have my first puppy. A curly coated retriever. I'm glad I found your channel, I've learnt so much already and will be following your advice from day 1 ❤😍🐾

My 2 shepherd/huskies were in a crate right from the start. When we first brought our pups home, they had to go to the bathroom outside before they came in the house. They weren’t allowed out of the kitchen. I put up a baby gate, but they slept and napped in the crate. Never had an accident in the house. Once they were older and fully trained they had the run of the house

we use a crate for our mini aussie almost 10 weeks old.. we also use a playpen for him in the main room. I have 2 over 50 pound dogs and they are good with him we do let him out and confine him to 1 room when he is loose with an option for the big dogs to get out.. they can jump the gate lol puppy pads are his option for potty right now due to his shots not being complete yet. we do take him out with us but we dont put him down anywhere.

Great video buddy!! Quick question: I am crate training a new puppy and he is fairly ok with it. My question is what to do when he cries? I normally ignore him until he settles down. Would you agree with that? How do I reward a calm behaviour? I don’t want to wake him up 😂

Thank you… you said it all

Amazing will you give me the confidence to have a amazing chow chow thankyou

Excellent fundamentals!

I started taking my pup out straight away and as a result I have a really friendly dog that everyone warms to. He will come into shops with me and sit under the table whilst I eat in cafes and restaurants. He’s fine in the crate when I am busy or I’m bed. The issue I’m still working on is toilet training, partly my own fault as I don’t always have time to let him out as frequently as a pup needs to pee.

Absolutely agree!! 😃👍🏼

Thank you Will for another fabulous video. You are Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Never used a crate for my pup when he was little. He never did any damage or barked when I was out and I know ' cause I asked my neighbours each time I came home. Toilet training went very smoothly and quickly, as I had a strict routine and was always aware of the time from last pee/poop break. The jumping on people was very difficult as people would say oh I love dogs and I don't mind him acting this way when saying Hi. I always said well I DO MIND and I must insist on him behaving appropriately when out or greeting people who were visiting our home. 😊

Do you have any videos about puppies/ young dogs that already have severe separation anxiety? I know the only true way to "fix" it is desensitisation and counter-conditioning, but everywhere I look for specifics they mention that during the time you are counter conditioning, the puppy should never actually be left alone because if they get into the panic state you can start again from scratch. But I live alone and don't know anyone who can dogsit when I have appointments or need to go to the shop. So is there any advice or a video you may have? Thanks to anyone who can link it in case Will doesn't see the comment himself!

I got a 8 week old puppy mini schnauzer. He’s in his biting phase. I’ve tried the active correction. But hes still biting. Not as much. But still does. Can I do the active correction for when he bites furniture too? Or do you recommended other methods?

Preach. Except for the crate training, toy poodles are so trainable, cage aint nessecary if you have time to train commands and general behavior

do you have a program for an adult rescue woth no previous training?

HOW do you stop people trying to undo our words. I want to be able to get shopping without other people trying to pat and play with my puppy. She wants to listen to me. But. OTHER people just bolt in. Then i have to discipline the Strangers as much as My puppy. Its exhausting. Please help me

People teach their dogs tricks because they believe others will see how smart their dogs are. Obedience training and learning commands show how really well a dog is trained and shows more of what the dogs need in their life. Trick training is a little circus for your own pleasure, certainly not for the dog

Ok so what do I do if my puppy keeps taking a dump in the crate.

I crate trained him but i dont like him in a cage. I have a giant pillow next to my bed and he sleeps in bed with me when I want to.

Im sorry. Im tired of hearing people say. She just a puppy.. Let her do what she wants.. Ahh yeah. NO. She is going to be a big strong dog. She is ALREADY strong. Do not over ride the owner of any Dog. The owner says no. Do not use your words to .. Yes puppy come here. NO. I just spoke do not speak to MY DOG, OR OFFER MY DOG FOOD. WHEN I JUST SAID NO. I Do not want to get into an argument with strangers whenever I am taking my Dog for a walk through the CBD. Do I need to put a sign on my dog. Or is it my fault. HOW do I correct strangers. Doing my best to correct her. Telling her leave IT. Using treats. Using the correct lead.. At home she listens to my every word. Then take her in the real world. Its getting strangers to understand. When im taking her on the train.. as The train is arrive.DONT TALK OR TRY TO TOUCH My DOG. IM TRYING TO KEEP HER FUCUSED ON WAITING FOR THE TRAIN TO STOP. AND WALKING OVER THE GAP. CARRYING HER ON THE TRAIN IS NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN OPTION. Without strangers interruptions. She will sit and stay and give me her paw and Drop to the ground. How do I stop strangers intterrupting my commands and training.? Please 😢

My dog doesnt know a single trick. But knows 20 useful commands. Most useful: Leave it Focused Heel Sit/Down/Stay 1..2.. GO (heel sprint)

i have never had a problem with my dogs being on their own and i have never used a create some of the modern day ways of training dogs are BS and i get told all the time when i'm out with my dog that she is well behaved so it's got nothing to do with using a create or whatever

i 100% disagree with create training i've had dogs my whole life and have never used a create for a dog and never would it's cruel and dogs are family not prisoners
