"If she sees a lap, she has to sit in it" I just love watching you so much. You might even be my FAVOURITE UA-cam puppy Mum. You are so RESPONSIBLE and LOVING. You are the "epitome" of what a doggie owner should be. A dog, as I am sure you know, always stays being a "baby", because they will always need a Mum or Dad(or BOTH) to take care of them. You, I know, will always be there for Freya. On top of that wonderfull attribute, you are so POSITIVE and FUN. Your ENERGY is INFECTIOUS. Baby Freya and your S/O are blessed to have you in their lives EVERY DAY. I truly hope that the 3 of you will be happy forever.
I feel like we JUST watched freyas 6th month blog. Shes growing up too fast. I remember the day you brought her home. ❤❤❤ Thanks for the day in the life vlog. My favorite so far.
Hi Marissa! I’ve been seeing your other pupdate videos aswell and how you’ve taught Freya with tricks is amazing! Do you think that you will do a video about how you taught her all her tricks?
Freya is growing so fast! I remember I was looking for Aussie pup videos and then I saw your video where you got her! I clicked it becuase she looked super cute and now I watch your channel and the pupdates! I feel like she is growing every second lol 😆❤
OMG she's so big now I feel like you just brought her home for the first time now she's seven months that's amazing and she's such a smart and obedient good girl she seems so happy and comfortable with you especially when you play with her to give her treats in hand game it's always fun to see her grow with you and Griffin. I love your content you're an amazing inspiration and encouragement for me like a big sister to me I have been watching you since your first dorm shopping video. I love you keep posting I'm so proud of you
Everytime I watch a monthly Freya update, it makes me so upset that I signed a lease that doesn't allow dogs 😭 Our next apartment will need to be dog approved bc I see an Aussie in my future ❤️
Yes! I also watch Rachel on UA-cam! I’ve been putting together some information since my cute little chocolate Lab puppy (Sadie) is coming home tomorrow!!!! I get all my tips from you and Rachel!
My Marco is two years old. And he is very territorial. A few times he caught my neighbors trespassing and heard the neighbors shouting rudely at me for getting them out of my property. now it’s impossible to get him just to walk pass them without barking. 😮💨 He is doing great in the dogs parks, at home, etc. He could even play nicely with another male Aussie, which is a blessing. My trainer said once Aussies don’t like someone, it is almost impossible to change their mind.
I can see that!! They are kinda born with an innate "stranger danger" so socialization from a VERY early age is important and somt bad experiences can make or break them :/
You could always play the rain and thunder storms on your tv while she sleeps so she gets used to it more.(maybe off of UA-cam) Some breeders use that at a younger age for some noise exposures!! Much love to you and Freya ☺️❤️
Our Aussie is just a few weeks older than yours, so I love when you put out these pupdates to see how our pup is doing in comparison to Freya! She's getting so big, how much does she weight now?
Omg I feel so dumb but…I never thought of using a traffic lead for high traffic areas?? I have both a regular 6ft leash and hands-free leash that is 4-6ft but I will definitely be investing in a traffic lead to clip to my hands-free band!
Well- i dont have a dog yet but if your border collie does something bad don’t use the crate as a punishment otherwise your puppy won’t want to go in their crate anymore. :)
CONSISTENCY is KEY!!!! That's my #1 tip. Decide what you want to do and how you want to do it before bringing them home and STICK TO IT!!! (on the couch or no, on the bed or no, begging at the table or being in their bed when you eat, sitting and waiting for food, or free for all, sitting and waiting at the door, or walking out freely, counter surfing or no, pulling on the leash or no, sitting up front with you in the car or staying in the back calmly, etc.) once you decide and stick to it your dog will learn quicker what is acceptable and what is not :) ❤️
I have a female BC. She is turning three in November. She is so sweet and well behaved that everyone says she is the perfect dream dog which is too good to be true. But this was the effort of consistency, training, and patience. She doesn’t chase cats, squirrels, deers,etc. And she helps me to herd my Aussie back in case my Aussie doesn’t come back to me during recall.
I love Freya’s eyes I want a dog like her but I prefer small dogs She is so cute I’m obsessed I found your channel 2 days ago and I have watched nearly every video So obsessed with your channel
I really appreciate your informative videos. I have been on the fence now for a while about getting a mini aussie. I live in an apartment and worry that their high energy level might be to much to handle. I work from home so have a lot of time to devote to a puppy. I dont know anyone who has an aussie, so I try to find people who have experience with them. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Freya is very beautiful!
It's definitely doable! the puppy stages are HARD but so worth it!! CONSISTENCY IS KEY!! Set boundaries and hold your ground on behaviors you do and don't want from day 1 and training will go by quicker! 🤍
hi! i’ve never had a dog in my life & I want to be doing research for at least a year before I get one. My main question is, if you were to feed your dog some chicken, would you cook it or, just serve it raw 😅
It depends! A lot of people feed their dog both ways. a lot of people will boil their chicken or just serve it raw/frozen! But it depends on the breed and age
And I was wondering where you got the snuffle mat and licki mats from? I want some for my pups!!!!!!! And also why are dogs timid with storm and how to get around that training wise?
AMAZON! :) I have them linked here: www.amazon.com/shop/marissanicole As of right now we are trying to positively associate the storms and stay calm and normal when they're happening. we don't want her seeing us scared or freaking out, so we are calm. and when she is also calm we give her treats and praise her! If she is scared we ignore those behaviors and don't condone them or she will keep doing them to get attention. so we only pay attention to the behaviors we DO want, which is calmness when it storms and she gets treatos :)
OMG I have that same brand of dog collar for my aussie pup LOL. Mine is a different design and font, and I found it on amazon. I'm trying to teach her to heel but since she's mini and still so small at 17 weeks, she tries to jump up for the treat. She has a problem with jumping on people in general. Also she does not like going to her place (crate) on her own without treats involved. Any tips?
@Abbie Pritchard well thats how i started out, but she still hated going in there. then i taught her how to go in with treats and she goes in there on her own now. she just doesnt have motivation to follow the command unless she knows i have a treat
Hey! I love ur vids and love watching your dog too they keep me happy when I’m in the darkest of times thank you Edit I JUST FOUND OUT IM GETTING A CAVAPOO DOG :))))
oh god freya is getting so big i remember when she was 8 weeks:) I have a question about the ID tag... are you able to but your phone number on the back of the tag? or just the name?
I know right?!!? such a little baby!!! 💖 the new copper one we got I don't believe so. At least Griffin didn't put anything on the back, just her name on the front. Freya is microchipped so god forbid anything happen when she's wearing this tag I'm hoping someone would take her to get that checked.
I can’t believe she’s seven months old I feel like yesterday I watched her three month pupdate. She’s getting so big and cute. ☺️❤️
RIGHT she is growing WAY TOO FAST! 💖
omggg !! i still remember freya's face when she came home for the first time !
❤️❤️ I knowwwww, she's such a big girl now omgggg
IK
Ikr..ik I'm late but Freyas to cuteee!

37 pounds!!! 🤯 it’s CRAZY!!!

I wish these Freya videos were longer 😭🥰
her past ones definitely are!! 💖
i like this kind of vlog better!
💗 so glad you like it!
Adorable 💞
ahh thanks! ❤️
Omg I feel so dumb but…I never thought of using a traffic lead for high traffic areas?? I have both a regular 6ft leash and hands-free leash that is 4-6ft but I will definitely be investing in a traffic lead to clip to my hands-free band!
its a LIFE SAVER!!! it just saves my own arm from having to wrap her leash around my hand 27 times and cutting off all circulation hahaha
My golden Retriever turned 6 months yesterday 🥰🥰
aww ❤️❤️
i am getting my border collie on saturday so excited!! freya is adorable and so well trained. any tips from any dog owners?
Well- i dont have a dog yet but if your border collie does something bad don’t use the crate as a punishment otherwise your puppy won’t want to go in their crate anymore. :)

I didn’t realize you live in Ohio!! So do I! So exciting!

First omg 13 seconds ago hiii❤ I love u and Freya so much Edit: she is getting so big so quick❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
When and why did you start letting Freya sleep on your bed?
around 9 months old is when she didn't sleep in her crate anymore.
Where did you get Freya’s Peach leash from?❤️
Sniff & Bark!!! You can use MUH20 for 20% off their site!! their stuff is SO cute.
@@MyDriftingDesk thank u so much :)
How did you teach her to “go to her place”? I would really love to teach my puppy that when I get her
I can definitely make a video on that! :) ❤️
I like how Marissa doesn’t have an attitude like other youtubers like Marissa likes and replies on our comment which most youtubers don’t
💛💛💛 LOVE YOU!!!
@@MyDriftingDesk see I told u guys she replies
I wish u would be my friend but u may not want to talk to me or love me :( or be my friend

Do dogs get morning breath?
haha I don't know about REAL morning breath lol but sometimes their breath is stinky lol
Where did you get your bed?
Amazon!!! Its linked in our Amazon shop which is in the description 💕
@@MyDriftingDesk thank you!!
How much does she weigh? Is she almost full grown do you know?
she weighs 37 pounds now and she isn't done growing yet so we are unsure how big she'll end up being!!
