The BIGGEST Mistake That New Puppy Owners Make...

I want to thank you for not shoving your products in our faces. Great information and it's not a forced commercial. Awesome stuff.

When puppies stay with their mother, the mama dog supervises them vigilantly.. When humans take over, they need to step up to their new role. Great video.

I followed your videos for training my adopted puppy. I adopted him when he was 5 months. He is now 2 years old. The videos worked extremely well. Supervising the puppy to teach how to make good decisions was key for a good behaviour. He was definitely not destroying the house. However… the consequence in my specific case, of supervising him so well, and most of the time, was that after a few months that I finally stop working from home, he developed separation anxiety. I spent so much time with him, training him, supervising him etc, that he got too attached to me. I don’t regret all the good training. I just had to add a training process to get him through separation anxiety. I would suggest with my experience, to be mindful of having periods where your puppy also learn how to stay alone and calmed

This was a great reminder for all the information from a lot of your videos! I needed that, we’ve had our puppy for a week and definitely needed to hear we gave him too much freedom. Thanks!!

Guilty of too much freedom too soon! Thanks for that reminder.

Yep. I don’t understand those videos people post of destroyed homes. Your puppy must have been loose and alone for hours to do that. Why?

treat a puppy like a young toddler: eyes on is best, but provide safe containment when you can't

I like keeping an open crate even after the dog is mature. It comes in handy when a workman comes to the house, and when the dog is aged, a safe place to sleep

so grateful for your advice! we are 1 week into our adoption of a 10week old goldendoodle. He already has responded amazingly well to your techniques. We couldn't be more thrilled!

100 percent agree with the crate training advice. You should never use the crate as a time out for bad behavior it never works. It's supposed to be their calm safe place, NOT A JAIL. I made this mistake as many others have.

omg, so much to learn. I just got a pitbull/sharpei puppy and the last time I had a puppy was 15 years ago, I feel like starting from scratch again, nervous about doing it well, not repeating mistakes from the past... little anxious about it, a beautiful new experience.

I still have my first collie's long lead from 35 years ago. McCann vs. McCann back in the 90s. I remember seeing your family photos, Kayl, as a wee little girl hanging up in the training room. Very special times.🐾🐾💗

Great advice! Our puppy now LOVES her crate and goes in it to nap. We do not have to lock it anymore but that is her safe and comfy place.

Thank you so so much for your work and advice - it has really made a huge difference in just 12 hours and I was at the end of my tether and things were getting horrible for me and my wee boy. Very grateful xo

Wow a super realistic and informative video. I love the practical instructions. Also was helpful to me that emphasized many times how puppies go through various stages. Thanks for posting this. I’ve been watching many of your videos.

My dog is 3 now and is a great dog because of your videos! I started using the puppy methods when we got her at 8 weeks and she is now a fun and wonderful adult Corgi!

Your videos have helped me so much! My boy is only 9 weeks and hasn't had an accident going on 4 days now because of supervision, crate training, and taking him out all the time

I admire this woman. Sounds confident, knowledgeable, doesnt miss a beat.

I’m going to be a first time puppy owner in a couple of weeks and feeling nervous but very excited. This video was helpfu, thank you!

Thank you so much for this information. This is my first time training a puppy, so I don't really know what I'm doing. My puppy likes to explore the world with her mouth. She is eating her chew toys that are supposed to be for aggressive chewers, as well as her blankets. This will be very helpful. I am currently working on trying to take her out for more walks.
