VLOG: first days with our golden puppy Brody!! 

Here’s a tip: give Brody one of your old shirts or one of Max’s old shirts to sleep with in the crate! Make sure you’ve worn it for a bit so it has your scent-it’ll calm him down and help with crate training 💕

omg when max starts calling us "you guys..." he's accepting his role as co-star :')

y'all can I just say that I have met Gretchen - and this girl is honestly the nicest person. So happy for yall!

If this is Gretchen as a dog mom I cant wait to see her as a real mom

When he is sleeping in the crate put a old shirt that smells like you and one that smells like max put it in the crate. also if he cries my trainer told me just put your finger through the crate when he cries! it really helped with my golden retriever. she is 5 months old

So so SO cute! Here's a tip too: puppies have what's called a "fear impact period". If puppies have "bad" or "scary" experiences during this time, the impressions could last a lifetime! This happened to my golden while he was eating his breakfast once. his collar tag got caught on the metal bowl holder and he dragged it about 3 feet and screamed the whole way! Now everytime he eats (and he's 1 yr now) He nudges the food bowl with his nose to make sure it doesn't go anywhere :) So it's great that you guys are taking him to do normal things and praising him (it's especially helpful when it's thundering out) You guys are doing amazing and I can't WAIT to see more puppy videos

That pup is you in animal form!! So cute and friendly haha. So happy for you guys!

Puppy tip: We always talked at a normal voice and didn’t change our routine at all so she would be used to noises and sleeping in louder environments and it’s been super helpful so far! Just a puppy tip that worked with my pup :) Brody is so so adorable congrats!

i dont care what the haters say, i am LIVING for this brody content. Also i love how this is basically ur family channel now

my brother slept on the ground with his puppy the first night too!! so precious max did that

A good rule of thumb for potty breaks is that a puppy can hold it for their age + 1, so a 2 month old pup can go 3 hours, 3 months can go 4, etc! Hope this helps :) This was definitely true for my black lab

Honestly, I think you guys are going to be AMAZING parents....don't let other people get your down. I can see how well you're doing already

Max was meant to be a dog dad 😭❤️ so happy for you guys!!

Ugh please don’t stop the dog content even after the puppy stages! We can’t wait to be on this journey with you 3 too ☺️❤️

i'm in love with brody

She’s such a mom!!!! “Listen to him breathe” I love it!!!! 🥰

Omg this is all so exciting! 🤩 just a tip- give Brody a treat in his crate before bedtime, that way he feels like it is his home because he has a treat in it and therefore positive association! Our vet told us this and we did it with our dogs and they always loved their crates! ❤️ Ilsym and congrats again with Brody!

the theory that people are like their dogs is so true here hahaha! little brody is like a mix of yours and max’ personality, it’s priceless!!

These vlogs of Brody are giving me such life rn!! Congrats to you & Max on becoming parents!

Hii G! Just passing to say that’s I loveee your vlogs and I admire you so much!!!! Such a pretty,happy,sweet and confident girl! I’m sure you and Max are going to be the best parents ever!

A great tip I learned for my Bernese was to buy small washcloths, wet them and put them in the freezer. This way, the are “reusable” and you don’t have to keep buying treats and toys. He is adorable :)

Hands down one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. Look at all of that fluff!

Brody seems like SUCH a cute and well behaved dog! Also you guys are such good puppy parents already!!

Brody is so cute, can’t wait to see him and Teddy meet and play together!

Always excited to watch but now with Brody I'm even MORE excited to watch

My dogs are golden doodles I have three and they ate 60 dollars I had on my desk

Crate training is the best thing to do with a new puppy. It helps create a safe and quiet spot of their own. Before you know it he'll go in on his own. It also helps put them on a regular schedule so they get solid rest. Did this with both of my furbabies, and they love it!

Literal tears down my face I’m so excited for you two🤍🥺

yay! so excited for this vlog!!!

you have such a sweet warm hearted way about you! i love watching all of your videos. i love your smile and the way you talk!!!! such a beautiful pup and congrats to the both of you for the little one!!!

yayyyyy first!!!! love your strength and energy Gretchen! you are SO loved!

More Brody vlogs!!! My puppy fever is being met by y’all 🥰

this vlog made me so happy i can’t even explain 💕

Aw brody playing with the avocado toy is so adorable. My dogs have that same dog toy and they got excited when they heard it squeak in the video.

I’m getting my golden in 2 weeks and this just made me giddy:) he’s such a good pup🥺

Awww he’s so cute!!! More Brody videos!!! 💜❤️💙🐶💙💜💜 congrats on your new puppy. He’s adorable and you and max are such great parents!! ❤️

i am thriving off the brody content

living for this puppy content! mine is coming home in 3 weeks so it's super helpful to see other people's experience

I've owned many dogs over the years, but by far my Golden was the most dear to me. He had the sweetest disposition! I do recall those puppy years- we had to be vigilant about keeping shoes and socks off his radar. Undeniably, our pets provide such unconditional love, comfort and company during the good and challenging times of our lives. Best wishes for a long and happy life with Brody!

puppy love is so much different than when there grown enjoy it they get so big!!!

Notification squad! Love the puppy vlogs- so excited for more!

You r honestly my favourite RU-vidr and broody is the best doggo ever 🥺😭❤️❤️

I can’t get over him,such a cute baby boy

aw i can tell how happy you are!!!!

Nothing wrong with Brody overload. He's so adorable!

MADE ME CRYYYYYYY! U SO LUCKY GUYS, SUCH A CUTE COUPLE AND BRODY IS JUSTTT AHHH !! LOVE IT!

yesssss been waiting for this!!!

my heart!!! brody is the cutest 🖤

He’s so cute...so happy for you guys 😭😍

IM LIVING FOR THE BRODY VLOGS!!! But i love all of you

Cuteness overload omgg!! He is soo cutee, I’m obsessed with your little family❤️🤩

I love this puppy content literally watched this vlog so many times!!!!! Too adorable

He is so precious! Thanks for bringing me a little joy to end off my really bad day.

some little tips I used on my yellow lab puppy for when I crate trained him! : get a small clock that makes the ticking sound and put it outside of their crate at night! also take a blanket or shirt that you wear a lot and put in his crate with him he will feel like he is with you bc he can smell you!

I am very happy that you guys have a puppy. This is a good day. Thanks for sharing this guys.

Try a sound machine at night if you don't already use one! It helped my dog SO much because he couldn't hear us walking around and it also reminds them of the womb (weird but true) and makes them calmer. I just used the waves setting on a sound machine and it helped so much.

my Brody was CAPTIVATED watching yours ive never seen anything cuter

my fav little family ever love all you guys so much more than you will ever know

Enjoy this sleepy/cuddly faze! I imagine since he’s part golden he’ll always be cuddly but I got a puppy a month ago and he’s 14 weeks old now and doesn’t stop moving all day!

all of the brody content yes!!

Brody is ADORABLE 😍

I will never get over all of the puppet content. Keep it coming 😍😍

gretchen, max, and brody >>>

Im a all natural dog parent and I get these cow bones at petsmart or petco and they have prefilled bones but I get the ones without filling and I’ll put peanut butter in them and it helps with teething and occupying them in kennels when you’re gone!!! It’s a life saver❤️

I’m so out of the Gretchen loop. But this is super wholesome so I’m glad to be back❤️

you should try to continue on with your daily life (making noise, talking, and moving around) while he is napping. Even though it will be difficult initially and he wont settle easily, it will be a lifesaver in the long run! My pup can sleep through any noise now and wont get disturbed nearly as much :) such a cutie

I LOVE YOU GRETCHEN!!!! And little Brody🐶

love all the puppy content!!! such a sweet boy

i can’t get enough of the Brody content 😭😭😭😭😭

This video is so fabulous :-). Honestly Brody the Golden Retriever Puppy is so cute :-). Plus he appears to be so affectionate too when he was hugging you and your beloved partner nearly all the time :-). I have to say Gretchen I am really looking forward to seeing more videos of Brody :-). Especially once he's fully grown I'm looking forward to seeing those videos :-). Have a nice day and take care Gretchen :-). From your friend Foxy :-).

golden retirevers are the bestttt. i grew up with one and now i have one that is 6 and she has much a personality (she thinks shes a human) My golden also only stayed in the crate for about a month until we learned she doesnt chew anything apart. Brody is so freaking adorable and is such a good boy

I highly recommend puppy kong’s (the pink and blue ones) stuff with peanut butter and freeze. Keeps them occupied & so good for the teething! 🥰🥰

so here for this doggo content :)

Your thought bubbles for Brody remind me of Brooke and Cookie!!💖

Totally just influenced me to buy the snuggle puppy for my new pup! Picking up my puppy Friday 💗 Living for all the puppy content & tips/tricks!!!

The pillow moment made my week

I loved this video! You are so happy, I love it!!! 😭🥰

i got a snuggle puppy for my mini golden doodle and it was awesome. even now ( she’s 1) she still loves it! eventually she started to tear it up after she’s outgrew it, but it was awesome for a while!

it physically hurts me how cute he is 😩

Happy I got to see u over chase's zoom after her barr class!!

We’re gonna do the bell training too! I’m excited to see how it goes, hopefully it helps a lot

Once he starts chewing or biting I recommend yaky chews or frozen bananas / frozen ice cubes!! :) We have a male golden named Nixon who is 10 months old- I’ve been there! Enjoy the puppy days

So happy for you!

I love watching these. I get my little puppy in August. They have amazing dog car seats in amazon I’d recommend them!

Good boi Brody!

Make sure you take his collar off when you crate him, small pups can accidentally hang themselves if they jump and it gets caught.

I love Brody!

Loving all the puppy content! I would love to see a puppy haul :)

HE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!

The little snuggles at 4:33 🥺

Awww Brody! I had a St Bernard named Brody! Want to get another one..Brody Junior. Great vlog and congrats on ur adorable pup!

YESSS I am sooo early!!! I love Brody, he is such a handsome pup

I love the Brody content!!!

Brody's such and icon!!!

This reminds me of when our dog was a puppy and I used to hold him and snuggle him like this and now he’s 65 pounds and still wants to be on my chest 😂❤️

Broady is so perfectttt

OMG congrats!!! Recently got a puppy to - it is such a wild ride
