Worry less about waffling dude, you have so much knowledge - it can't be communicated in one sentence. I've watched 30 of your videos today, the "waffle" is the best bits becausd it provides insight into why as much as how. Love your work mate 🙏
Spot on about people who do that 6 week puppy course and then think that's all the training they need. My friend got a puppy right after we got X and we went through the same intro 6 week course. She put her puppy in a harness and allowed her dog to have full run of the house (because it was too hard to keep the dog in a limited space which is what we did with X). Now her dog lunges, cannot walk in a leash and is out of control at 18 months. She has needed to have her dog in a board and train and she's super frustrated. She always says 'I did the training with him'..... but really she's just let the dog decide from himself what he's going to do. I totally agree 110% that training never stops. Every day you need to work with your dog, even for 5 mins a day. Otherwise you'll be tearing out your hair when you have to fix bad behavior. Good manners will change your relationship.
If you can take your dog to work i would 100% recommend this. We have about 4 dogs in on an average day, sometimes more. Our colleague brought her puppy in, and they've come on amazingly since day 1.
Every single time I watch your vids! You two are SO cute together, I love the partnership and appreciate all of this info. These vids go along well with the Perfect Puppy Course!
My cane lived to 11yrs. That stubborness never really changed. My English mastiff of 2 years is very similar. As a puppy leaving the dog park he would lay down and not move ... He didn't want to go lol
Hey Will - Im a spectater from Denmark, whoem fallen totally in love with your videos. I love the way you teach us, how to be the perfect canine leader (or as good as we want to be) I have a question for you! My girlfriend and I are getting a Chodsky Pes puppy from Czech Republic in 7 ish weeks, and we're planning to use your tips and tricks to train her (and ourselves, haha). Now to the question - Do you plan to make a "how to train a puppy" videoplaylist, or something like that? Ofcourse we are going to invest in your Perfect Puppy Course, but I think it will benefit alot of people. Love from Denmark! J & L
This is so exciting! Sadly we don't have this sort of playlist but we obviously have a number of different puppy training videos on our channel. BUT the Perfect Puppy Course is the best way to follow our training with your new little pup!
Can you help me? Myself and a couple other people I know each just got a four-week-old puppy. I know, it's bad, but the mom was starting to attack them and the food they were getting weaned to was crap - lady meant well, but you know. Anyway, obviously they need as much time together as we can give them, and I do have another dog that can be kind of a role model...but what else can we do to mitigate the damage from taking them so young? Any tips on comforting the whining vs waiting it out with puppies so young (assuming we've checked to see if they needed the bathroom)?
How come mom was attacking them? That's highly abnormal, mother dogs get grumpy with puppies but they don't "attack" unless air snapping and snarling counts which is again, normal in some cases. If she really did start attacking them your puppy may have inherited a neurological issue which is going to be an issue. At that young your going to have issues either way but focus on all around socializing, not just dogs. Sights, smells, different types of ground etc. And keep up regular dog contact with other puppies and good dogs to ward off lack of familial lessons and reassurance.
@@jessicagislason4855 I wish I knew why...but at this point I'm actually thinking she was probably just reprimanding them and it got misread. Lady was clueless...I found out a few days ago that she was even feeding them spaghetti, sauce and all. I'm amazed they're still alive.
hi will, have a question amd everyone's input would be much appreciated, I have a 13 week staffordshire bull terrier and had his 2nd jab Thursday 3 days ago I have been told he cam not go out for another 10 days my staffy is very nervous around new people and was same in vets very nervous I am wondering if I should take him out in 10 days time or tale him out 3 days after 2nd jab please help. 🙏
I have a 3 year old Pug and a 1 year old Labrador (Female ). I want to get a Cane Corso next as a guard dog. (Ofcourse I will be getting your course first and prepare myself ) ..would my other 2 dogs help with Socialization of the Corso as they are older? And would the Corso get along with them?
Can my dog's bio dad be his role model? I'm afraid this may cause litter mate syndrome. Another question, can he socialised with his bio brother as well (he lives in the same place as the dad)
Absolutely, littermate syndrome is from dogs spending too much time together essentially, they can be socialized and live together but they need to be given their own space, it's like comparing a pair of toddlers sharing the same room to a pair of 20 year old siblings, it's just not healthy for constant interaction and lack of independence. Dad will likely be a great role model while a brother would be good for a afternoon romp to tire them out physically and practice communication. As long as you're dog is learning to be independent and well behaved you probably won't have issues, basic obedience and crate training goes a long way
Just watched your top 10 German breeds - no where to comment there so found this video. I’m intrigued that the Boxer doesn’t seem to feature on here or many of your other top 10 videos. Just wondered if there was a reason for this? Seems to be a breed that balances guarding and family life well?
Does it matter if the size difference is massive with the role model dog and puppy? My uncle's dog is a big black Labrador who is very well behaved and our puppy is a tiny 8 week old Shih Tzu cross (1.6kg)
My 4month Am Staffy/pit mix likes to chase our cats, how can I get her to calmly I interact with them? She isn't aggressive with them more seems to want to play.
Isn't doggy daycare almost like a dog park where you can't be present? I would expect most dogs there to be well mannered but I often hear stories of fights, or there's hyper dogs, lack of control, couldn't a tiny puppy get trampled or picked on? I feel like things could happen there and that scares me
Be very very discerning. I completely agree with your concerns. You have to go somewhere that gives more disclosure than not (if they selectively pose their photos, videos, and even facility tours.. that’s sus. I will only take my pup somewhere with temperament testing for every dog, and viewing windows/balconies if possible.
Yeah I think my dog got a bad role model from our neighbors dog. At the time there was only a chain link fence separating and our puppy learned alot of nonsense barking and extreme barking at mailman. That neighbor actually moved but we have been left with now a almost 2 year old dog that goes crazy at anyone walking by or approaching the front door. She is totally fine at dog parks. But acts so bad at our house. We have tried many things but can't seem to get her to not go out of her mind.
I have a 3 month old boxer. I've been socializing as much as possible, but now when he meets a new person, he gets so excited he starts to urinate.. any tips?
So, They say between 8 and 12 weeks is the time to socialize the puppy. So, Don’t wait and try to do it once a week. Go to public spaces every day between 8 and 12 weeks age.
We have dog parks in America where dogs roam free with eachother with no leashes u guys don’t have that over seas?? I took my 7 week old Cane Corso puppy we played so well with other adult dogs for the first time.
I'm not sure there are really role model dogs at doggie daycare. A lot of owners don't put in time to train their dogs.. and they have anxious animals that basically get their exercise and mental stimulation at these daycare places.. and then the dogs sleep and are just well-mannered after work for people that take their dogs to daycare for the whole day. THere are a lot of bad-mannered dogs at dog daycares. it's a tough call.
It is difficult to socialize your young dog proper when you’re not suppose to meet other people because of the pandemic situation. Doggy daycare wouldn’t be possible where I live as the government doesn’t do anything to stop Covid-19.
Worry less about waffling dude, you have so much knowledge - it can't be communicated in one sentence. I've watched 30 of your videos today, the "waffle" is the best bits becausd it provides insight into why as much as how. Love your work mate 🙏

Lovely to see husband and wife working together on screen in addition to a perfect topic I need right now.
Best tip I've ever heard for socialisation- using doggy day care to develop manners. Brilliant, thank you!
If you can take your dog to work i would 100% recommend this. We have about 4 dogs in on an average day, sometimes more. Our colleague brought her puppy in, and they've come on amazingly since day 1.
Good tips! I’ll be sure to use them with my Bullmastiff puppy!
Every single time I watch your vids! You two are SO cute together, I love the partnership and appreciate all of this info. These vids go along well with the Perfect Puppy Course!
Thank you for your knowledge and guidance! We have a cane corso . Very smart but can be stubborn!
My cane lived to 11yrs. That stubborness never really changed. My English mastiff of 2 years is very similar. As a puppy leaving the dog park he would lay down and not move ... He didn't want to go lol
We got our new puppy 3 days ago and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much
Thank you! Can you do video clips showing dogs interacting. Explaining what is good behavior/socializing.
Thank you for answering our questions! It helps 🙌👏
Idk why but I respect the words coming out of ur mouth
I love your work and everything you say.
Thank you! 😀🐾
I watch Jason as well but struggle with how to get my puppy there. She is currently 15 weeks and has a great trainer but Myka’s stubbornness sucks!
What kind of puppy? Don't give up. You can out-stubborn that puppy :D

For an 8 week old puppy for socializing can you walk them on a leash on the ground before all vaccines?
Loving these podcasts
Hi.. I have a question. When is the best time after that you bring your puppy home to start taking him to doggy daycare?
What would be the best way to socialise a puppy at 8months?
Can you do a in-depth video on the XL bully please
Can you help me? Myself and a couple other people I know each just got a four-week-old puppy.

it does matter, but in ur case it sounds fine. large puppies can hurt or even kill smaller dogs just by playing.
@1st508th Airborne has a ton of helpful dog videos and a beautiful pack. Hope you all find them helpful
My 4month Am Staffy/pit mix likes to chase our cats, how can I get her to calmly I interact with them? She isn't aggressive with them more seems to want to play.
Ever solved the issue? Currently struggling with this. Got a 3 month old husky/lab.
How much exercise is the dog getting. He could have too much energy and needs to get out to run

Where can I submit questions to?
I have a 3 month old boxer. I've been socializing as much as possible, but now when he meets a new person, he gets so excited he starts to urinate.. any tips?
Before u meet folks get him to sit and have folks ignore him at first. When he calms only then let them interact with him
Will, where is your accent from? Great videos.
Staffordshire
So, They say between 8 and 12 weeks is the time to socialize the puppy. So, Don’t wait and try to do it once a week. Go to public spaces every day between 8 and 12 weeks age.
Funny that his dog is Bruce Wayne. I’m getting a rottie next week who will be named Bane 🤣
How can you ensure that there will be suitable role model dogs at doggy day care? They might all be poorly behaved.
We have dog parks in America where dogs roam free with eachother with no leashes u guys don’t have that over seas?? I took my 7 week old Cane Corso puppy we played so well with other adult dogs for the first time.
Good video
