Hey Ken, I have a question that is not related to this video. I'm in a wheelchair and I can't find videos on how to train your dog if your are in a wheelchair. If you could make a video on this that would be great. I have a huskie, he is nine months old if that matters.
@@christianknapp8514 this would be really helpful! i use a walker and cane, and service dogs and training are so expensive but want to start training my puppy too with assistive devices
This video, along with the potty training one, probably saved my relationship with my pup. We got Samson 2 weeks ago and Ive been just complete sapped of energy because he takes so much time to watch and even with a close eye he often messed in the house. In 48h of following a better schedule, using a crate more wisely, and being intentional with high/low energy exercises Im already seeing a massive change in Sammy. Maybe Im fooling myself, but it feels like a different dog. The biggest change too is with me! Im not so stressed about "what is the dog doing now?" and can focus when I eat, do chores, etc. I can even sit down long enough to write a whole youtube comment!!
how is he in the crate?! we're struggling hard with crate training our pup, she just hates being locked in there. she sleeps and plays in it willingly a lot as long as the door is not closed - once we close its like she's being tortured 😭
@@MafaldadeSousaMacie My puppy absolutely hated the crate like 2 days ago. Now all of the sudden he started to like his crate overnight. I'm still puzzled on how he went from despising the crate to loving it????
@@MafaldadeSousaMacie put stuff in the crate that she likes, especially a chew, like a pig ear. Only give the special treat in the crate. She'll learn that good things are in the crate and she'll learn to like it. Don't give in to her complaining. You need to give her a reason to want to be in the crate. Talk in a calming voice. In our case, our crate has a secure water cup, so our pup knows he can get a drink whenever he likes. Just gotta know that if he whimpers, that's a sign he wants to go out and pee/poo.
I had a similar experience during the first 3 days or so I couldn't eat was just nausious all day, It's getting better everyday. We end up overthinking it all and go into a state of exhaustion, others I talked to also had similar puppy experiences. Were not alone.
I stumbled upon your videos last night after getting home. Yours and your wife’s demeanor is amazing. Your approach is efficient and I can’t get enough of them! Binging the videos as we speak lol. I am now subscribed and following your video training for my new puppy who is biting and chewing everything. Besides that he is an amazing boy and so friendly. He already walks right by my side. I think because we got him very young so he seems incredibly attached to me. You guys are amazing and I’m passing your channel on to everyone I know. Thanks so much!!!🙏🏾 Ps. Your wife’s voice even calms and makes me want to listen😂
THANK YOU! I've spent HOURS looking into trainings and my australian shepherd puppy needed more work and finally this makes sense and he responds to it! Thank you for making it so simple and easy to learn from!
I am getting my first ever puppy (never owned a dog) and have been sweating bullets as I had no idea what to do. I've trained horses for years and you would think I'd be calm about getting the most easy to train animal ever (a dog, let alone a Labrador) but nope :). Your videos have given me not only hope, but full-on excitement!! Puppy comes home tonight and I am ready to go. Thank you, McCann Dogs!!
when training the door manners, he just left a piece of kibble on the ground on purpose! he looked at it falling and made the choice to just let it go and watch at human😍
This is absolute golden advice I wish I had when I got my pupper. I´ll send this to my friend who is about getting a puppy in the close future. He´s asking me stuff like "how much treats can i give" "how long does he needs to be outside" all hecking day for like a month now :P I bet that guy will be a formidable dog leader one day, when he finally stops thinking it trough too much.
These videos are so incredibly helpful! Your approach to training is different but so effective. We’ve had our black lab 24 hours and keeping him on the leash really is working. Thank you so much!
We (including the two grandkids) began watching the puppy videos a couple of months before we picked up our puppy. We brought Bailey home in July 2020. We loaded the car with all the items Kayl mentioned in the "Bringing Your Puppy Home" video. We continued watching the UA-cam videos. They helped us with crate and potty training (she had a total of 3 accidents, all due to inattention to her hints). Then Ken mentioned that, while the videos were great, they were vanilla compared to the online courses McCann offers. So we signed up for those, when Bailey was 5 months old. Wow! Those Zoom calls and the course work have got us through some rough times with our Miss Bailey. She's 8 1/2 months old now, and beginning to settle down so she can hang out with us for longer periods of time, thanks to the advice on playing brain games. She loves them and they tire her out! A tired dog is a resting dog! We have her on a line when she's out of her crate, a piece of advice that has kept us and Bailey from making too many mistakes, and something we never knew of before McCann's. This is a big thank you and shout out to anyone out there struggling with a puppy or older dog. McCann's is the best.
This whole video is really great. I'd love to see this as a series as a puppy progresses and then some different schedules for a dog too. At what stage do you introduce the words for the commands instead of just lures? With "shake a paw" it seems to be only once it's going well (couldn't really tell why you think that is going well but not the sit either)? So a few days of reps without a command before a command is introduced?
I am new to your channel, will get my first puppy ever before christmas, a border collie boy, i can't wait, i have just seen him on pictures but he was just born yesterday and i love him already, your videos will help me and my boy for sure! :)
YES, erincdale, I agree. In the beginning of video, no puppy is going to come out of their crate with a full food bowl. I have an 11 week old boston terrier. That is not going to happen.
Trick training is another great transferable skill. Like im really slack at teaching wait or stay. again if inherited a dog with a specific skill set. But she will do on the box, which means jump on something, could be a bench, drain cover, shes learnt through 101 things to do with a box, or is learning to check the enviroment for a box.
This was a great video! Thanks for all of the information. What a good pup! I hope my new puppy (Brittany Spaniel) who comes home October 4th is as good a student as Drift!
You have so many videos that this might already exist but if not, can you make a video about what a vocabulary for a trained dog looks like? What commands can be used for similar situations we humans differentiates but are similar for dogs, what situations can be tackled with which commands. What commands should a dog know? I ski a lot, so on top of good leash behaviour in a city, I want to have line-out, pull/go, whoha. I still want my dog to go trecking with me in the summer, probably in the same harness. Later with a backpack (what are they called for dogs?). I know I can stop bad situations by removing myself, distracting, performing sits, etc. but let's say a ‘gee’ or ‘haw’ is enough to defuse a potential situation. That way I can show my dog what to do, and we can move on. I know this is advanced territory, but I feel there is a transition from avoiding problems to coping with them that I'm not really sure about. Also: with commands like ‘okay’, I still want my dog to make good decisions. How can I balance being alert with relaxation? I see you say specifically ‘go get it’, how does that translate to training ‘leave it’? Are you always that alert yourselves or is it only during training that's allowed? In an ideal world you'd give me a Norwegian vocabulary, but I'll have to discuss that with a local puppy trainer.
Watching these puppy videos. I need training 😫 videos for my Toddler. He needs a leash and a crate. Im going to have to hit up the Toddler videos next.
My pup wakes up at 5:00 am not 8:00 am. He acts like he is starving jumping barking going crazy. I agree with the comments that this pup is very well behaved. Also I have another 9 year old dog pretty much he is a huge distraction. I have to remove her from the room if I want to do any training.
Hi! Love this video. Here in Sweden it's illegal to keep a dog in a closer crate. In two ways I'm going to get my little poodle and i wonder if you guys have an idea for replacement of the crate for an other space and how to keep the puppy settled in a spot that's bigger than a crate? Excited to see if you guys have a good take on this question! Kind regards from Sweden!
You almost got me looking on Amazon for a Siri device. Nice training. Learning a lot to train my new family member this weekend. I plan on teaching his name & hand jesture during the 3.5 hour ride home without treat but praise. We have potty breaks every hour planned. when we get home plan on intro to my older kids then a bit of training for his "bedroom" (crate). Over night every 2 hours potty break. Is this too much for an 8 week old puppy?
Hi! First time future dog owner here. Our puppy will be coming home to us in February of 2021. What kind of high value treat should I be offering a Havanese puppy? I want to be sure I’m keeping my puppy healthy and not overfeeding, but I see how essential treats are for this training method and would love to train my dog this way! Thanks for any advice you all can offer me. :)
You guys should setup links to products you use in your videos so your subscribers can have access to them. You guys would obviously also earn a little from each sale.
Hey McCann, I just adopted a blue heeler German shepherd mix from a shelter and she won’t even touch her toys. It’s not that I mind but I’m having a tough time keeping her stimulated because there’s not much she wants to do. If y’all could help me out that’d be great
Our issue with the bed is not getting him in it but not chewing it! A lot of training videos have dogs who aren't mouthy. We're doing all we know to do with our 10 week old but all he wants to do is chew soft, squishy things. Ideas here?
My new puppy has learned many of these things. But it's so strange, she will only do them if I'm standing. She will not listen at all if I try to do them sitting on the floor w her. She just jumps on me, but the minute I get up and tell her to sit, her little butt hits the floor. Just wondering how to get her to listen when I'm sitting too.
Thank you! I am having great results with your training. One question I have is how to get him to take treat from me without feeling those razor teeth so bad. It is not really like he is trying to bite me but just trying to get the teeth. sometimes I am able to get in his mouth without teeth but not all the times. Thank you!
Hi there, Dana! This will help: How To Train A Puppy Not To Bite Your Hands - Hand Feed Your Puppy in 5 Minutes Or Less ua-cam.com/video/yLESsYOOcf4/v-deo.html Happy Training!
My puppy is 8 weeks old when do you start the training? I'm trying to train her now but she has such a short attention span. She is a Australian cattle dog very active and nippy. I am Useing a leash like you said but with a harness seems to help a little. I have only had her for 4 days. She is very smart already is using the potty on command. I would say the biggest challenge right now is the nipping. What could I do to stop the nipping?
We have a 10 week old Bernedoodle Tiny and she just doesn’t seem all that motivated by food or treats. How can we achieve the same training engagement that the food or treats offer in the video?
I’m not an expert, but they always say treats or positive verbal encouragement. Maybe she’ll respond to pets or positive words when she does what you want?
Hi there, Karen! Yes, the skills you're working on specifically may be different. But applying some of these elements (especially natural training opportunities) to training with your 5mo old will be helpful. Thanks for watching ~Ken
Thank you! She is so adorable I’m in love with her already! 😍 Have been trying to get her excited and used to her crate, she even fell asleep in her crate without being told. Hoping she will be okay tonight 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@allywilkeforsenate so odd to make a political statement out of this video. But to your point: most domesticated dogs do not resemble their ancestors who are pack hunters. Many hunting dogs are not also living in houses, they're kept outside in kennels. And most domesticated house dogs are not built for hunting nor do they have the drive to do so. So that's kind of a silly comparison. An english bulldog for example, is not going out hunting with people. Dogs have become companion animals for the majority of people.
I've had dogs all my life and never have I found an easier way of training than your video's. Like many other comments, I'm amazed that there is no charge for this awesome information. Can't thank you enough for that! We are preparing for our first ever Great Dane on Sunday, October 10 and with this size dog, training is even more essential than before. I know it's not going to be easy by any meaning of the word, however, your video's make it seem so doable. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in such great detail! I have watched them so much, I finally feel like I'm ready! Can't wait for Sunday to arrive and pick up our Marshall!!
We are so glad to hear this Marsha, thanks for all the support! If things change and you need extra support we do have an international online training program that allows you to have access to our Professional Dog Trainers full time. October 10th is just around the corner, enjoy! mydogcan.mccanndogs.com/ Happy Training! ~ Dan
I just got my first ever (wonderful) puppy yesterday!! I had expected the worst, that he’d poop and pee all over the car ride home and in the house, cry the whole night, sulk and be sad... But unbelievably, he was perfectly behaved in the car, playful and loving to all of us! And he slept like a babe, I didn’t know there could be such an angelic puupp❤️🙏🏻
Yeah you got lucky lol my 8wk old hated his crate for the first week and couldn't be lured in. He still goes to the toilet indoors after a week and a half. He still bites and gets agressive if you try to hold his collar or discipline him. He pulls, he jumps and refuses to listen most of the time. Does does react to his name when not distracted, he does a few commands when there is food involved. Sit, down, crate and he's starting to pick up on stay.
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
@wilsonkelvin2531 This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a US-based finance consultant by name MARTHA ALONSO HARA and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment.
Knowing HOW LONG to train for is an important part of the puppy training process. And it’s different for EVERY dog! Click here for a quick tutorial on this step: ua-cam.com/video/twdt5pt4jGw/v-deo.html
Needed this video BADLY. Getting no sleep, having to play every waking moment, never able to leave him alone in his playpen without blood-curdling cries.
It’s difficult to “not walk your puppy until he’s trained to walk by your side” when you live in the city or a flat with no outdoor area! What would you do to help when you HAVE to go outside to make him go to the toilet and also just make his day a bit more interesting than a small home
"You don't have to teach your puppy to like food" You clearly haven't met Hank, my akita puppy. He is stubborn, he will eat only if I'm not watching or near. Makes training difficult.
@@HomesteadAce Find out what she likes. My dog is not motivated by food, but going outside is his absolute favorite thing. You can use that as a prize for training. It may take a little while for her to realize what's going on, but just be constant and everything will be fine.
How many pups and pup parents are going to live a much better life together with all this helpful info 🙏🏼 thank you for so generously helping us ❤️ may all the good you do with these FREE 🥰 videos come back to you 10 fold 🤗
I have been SO nervous to pick up our puppy in 2 weeks but binge watching your videos has helped me to feel more prepared and excited!! Thanks for all you do! These are the best dog training videos on UA-cam without a doubt!!
Hi! As its been over 5 monthes now im guessing you got your puppy. congrats!! Anyways any tips or things you found extremely important, thanks, getting my pup in a week :)
@@shaepeters0n Hello!! I’m sorry I’m just now seeing your reply. Since you responded 7 months ago, lol, I’m assuming you’ve also gone through the new puppy period. I hope it went well for you!!
@@Bluesachwill It was challenging but if you follow the advice from these videos, you will make it through! Teaching my puppy fetch, basic commands such as sit, down, stay, come, wait, leave it, has been fun and incredibly beneficial. Im thankful for a dog who is highly food motivated. Also, crate training was sad at first but so worth it. When all else fails and you need a moment to rest, peanut butter or pumpkin purée in a Kong got me through! Lol!
I’ve had my new pup for nearly 3 weeks(she was 1.7lbs on her first vet visit). She’s 3 moths old. I binged McCann dog training vids, along with other, weeks before I got her. I’m so glad I did. While we are still working on potty training, she’s already kennel trained, she knows leave it, sit, lay, and various other things, such as collar/lead on/off collar grab. Thank you guys, you all rock!
Thank you soooooooo much for your vids. I just adopted a 9wk old boxer/lab mix about 3 wks ago, and I've been figuring I've made a HUGE mistake for most of that time, because I'm exhausted trying to keep up with training and potty training and keeping this high energy dog healthy (I'm pretty low energy, myself). He's a great, smart dog that's learned a lot of commands, already (I was even able to have lunch over at my mom's house with a friend while he patiently waited on a blanket with some toys, near me). I've watched a ton of training vids, and I feel like they were helpful to give me confidence to start out with--but your guys' vids are so thorough and I really appreciate the emphasis not being on treats when they poop or for long-term (thankfully, my pup started out being more enthused about praise, and is just now becoming about as interested in treats...otherwise I totally would have been leashed to treats) Anyway, I'd decided to try to start crating him while I'm home a little more often becasue of continued accidents in the house (I also use a puppy pad at night next to his crate in a makeshift playpen); but was unsure how much to do it or how to implement it. Today, watching your vids, gave me the confidence needed to crate him regularly between potty/training breaks; and we both seem the better for it. I watched more of your vids during his "downtime". I'm learning to change my position when I play with him so that he doesn't think it's okay to bite me and was able to get him to follow me around the house using peanut butter as the lure (that's his fav treat). I'm going to try to crate him completely, without puppy pads, for the first time tonight; and hope that I don't have to make too many trips outside during the night. But I'm hoping that this new routine will be the start of an even healthier relationship with my dog (and him with the interior of the house). He's already a great dog! I just needed help in providing the additional structure he needs. Thanks for that!!
My 24hr looks way different. The puppy has such a trumendous amount of energy at 6am, that I am having issues to calm her down. She used to play with littermaes at this time and can;t do any training before breakfast. She jumps around, bites you imediately when you give her attention. We are trying to gew toy train her, but I am always amazed how calm the puppies and engaged they are in videos, yet mine is a wild rocket that I cannot even start training.
I second this. He talks about it briefly in the video about getting a friend or family member to help but that worries me too.. 😕 they just don’t always follow instructions for training as well..
You both do a such great job preparing me for my upcoming puppy. I like how your personalites come through in your videos. So many dog training videos feel clinical. All the McCANN trainings show your passion for animals and your work. Thanks
Omg. The potty spot training in one day has been amazing in helping our dog. Thank you so much. I did the training with my Welsh sheepdog pup who was having housebreaking b issues and I have spent so much less time outside getting him to go. Thank you worked amazing
You're one of the best trainers out here on UA-cam!! I absolutely love everything you guys explain, and how you explain it. Such an awesome job, keep it up
This might just help me. I just got an 8 week old puppy, and obviously I am gonna change it for an 8 week old puppy. But I have been so stressed the last week and this might help.
Check out the book "Puppy Primer", by Dr. Patricia McConnell. She is a Humane/Positive Trainer, and this book gives straight facts, and is an easy guide. Though, less on the crating, and more on the use of baby gates.
Thank you, very helpfull video! I do have a question as a new puppy owner. Sometimes when he gets excited (22:18 for example) he jumps up to you and gets praise/attention while he is doing it. Isn't it something you want to avoid as you are teaching him that jumping up to people is fine? Or is it something you can teach him later?
Thank you so much for all the videos you put up... this is so helpful... especially for someone like me who has never had a dog... and after all the books I've read... a video is just something else... to see how easygoing you guys are with the dog and yet establishing a strong bond. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Omg, this was so useful! Thank you! I just got a puppy last weekend and the tip about not giving them water overnight may really help reduce the amount of nightly potty breaks.
When you can’t afford a professional trainer, training your puppy becomes so overwhelming because each video on the internet show a different way. Also, I haven’t seen a single channel that shows you the sequence of what to teach first. It’s a bit stressful.
Hope this comment finds your way. Not only do I want to thank you for this video as an excellent base building for myself and my puppy, but i'd like to thank you for helping me recognize what I've been failing to do as a puppy owner for only a few short days. Definetly needed some self-reflecting and will use this to fuel my training with my puppy.
Now that you know WHEN to train, you'll need to know WHAT to train! Here's a link to our Puppy Training Schedule By Age that will help you to give your puppy the right information! ua-cam.com/play/PL7BBgLulherm84vwb0jygtvoAV24ISmtr.html

Trick training is another great transferable skill. Like im really slack at teaching wait or stay. again if inherited a dog with a specific skill set. But she will do on the box, which means jump on something, could be a bench, drain cover, shes learnt through 101 things to do with a box, or is learning to check the enviroment for a box.

I know this is advanced territory, but I feel there is a transition from avoiding problems to coping with them that I'm not really sure about.
Also: with commands like ‘okay’, I still want my dog to make good decisions. How can I balance being alert with relaxation? I see you say specifically ‘go get it’, how does that translate to training ‘leave it’? Are you always that alert yourselves or is it only during training that's allowed?
In an ideal world you'd give me a Norwegian vocabulary, but I'll have to discuss that with a local puppy trainer.
Just found your channel and I’m learning so much!!! How long do you recommend playing with the tug toy?? Also where is it from?!
Watching these puppy videos. I need training 😫 videos for my Toddler. He needs a leash and a crate. Im going to have to hit up the Toddler videos next.
Thank you so much, I already have a doggy, but she is 8 years so I kinda forgot how to do this haha, I'm excited
My pup wakes up at 5:00 am not 8:00 am. He acts like he is starving jumping barking going crazy. I agree with the comments that this pup is very well behaved. Also I have another 9 year old dog pretty much he is a huge distraction. I have to remove her from the room if I want to do any training.
Hi! Love this video. Here in Sweden it's illegal to keep a dog in a closer crate. In two ways I'm going to get my little poodle and i wonder if you guys have an idea for replacement of the crate for an other space and how to keep the puppy settled in a spot that's bigger than a crate? Excited to see if you guys have a good take on this question! Kind regards from Sweden!
I know its 2 months later but placing outdoor puppy playpens in the house or baby gates to block of areas or rooms are also great options!
So, how about ideas for us older folks who can't get on the freaking floor....
Why are you so angry
You almost got me looking on Amazon for a Siri device. Nice training. Learning a lot to train my new family member this weekend.
I plan on teaching his name & hand jesture during the 3.5 hour ride home without treat but praise. We have potty breaks every hour planned. when we get home plan on intro to my older kids then a bit of training for his "bedroom" (crate). Over night every 2 hours potty break. Is this too much for an 8 week old puppy?
Love the video. Do have a question. We are going to get our puppy in winter around November. How can we raise him during winter?
Thank you guys so much.
Nice info 🐶🐶

How old is Drift? Awesome videos guys, very impressive and structured training!!
Yes!!! More videos like this please!
So helpful thank you !
@McCannDogs What dog food/treats do you use? Your dog seems to like them a lot.
Hi! First time future dog owner here. Our puppy will be coming home to us in February of 2021. What kind of high value treat should I be offering a Havanese puppy? I want to be sure I’m keeping my puppy healthy and not overfeeding, but I see how essential treats are for this training method and would love to train my dog this way! Thanks for any advice you all can offer me. :)
they’re not treats, it’s his food (kibble)
Until what age are they considered a puppy?
You guys should setup links to products you use in your videos so your subscribers can have access to them. You guys would obviously also earn a little from each sale.
problem my puppy isnt food motivated even when comes to meal time i try training her with food she prefers to play
Where should you new puppy be crated when I go to work and have another dog? Should their crate be in the same room or separate rooms?
Hey McCann, I just adopted a blue heeler German shepherd mix from a shelter and she won’t even touch her toys. It’s not that I mind but I’m having a tough time keeping her stimulated because there’s not much she wants to do. If y’all could help me out that’d be great
Our issue with the bed is not getting him in it but not chewing it! A lot of training videos have dogs who aren't mouthy. We're doing all we know to do with our 10 week old but all he wants to do is chew soft, squishy things. Ideas here?
I definitely saw that 🐦 in the background
The dog is already trained. Pretty usrless
Taking my 12 week old English mastiff to his and my 1st obedience school tomorrow ...😜
What food did u give him as soon he is out of the crate, my dog hardly has any interest in any dog food.
My new puppy has learned many of these things. But it's so strange, she will only do them if I'm standing. She will not listen at all if I try to do them sitting on the floor w her. She just jumps on me, but the minute I get up and tell her to sit, her little butt hits the floor. Just wondering how to get her to listen when I'm sitting too.
When should I move the puppy from the plastic crate to the metal Crate?
On the metal crane , should it have open or close door?
Can I do these training exercises as early
as 8 weeks old?
We don’t leave water down all the time. Is that wrong??
Tl;Dr version?
Thank you! I am having great results with your training. One question I have is how to get him to take treat from me without feeling those razor teeth so bad. It is not really like he is trying to bite me but just trying to get the teeth. sometimes I am able to get in his mouth without teeth but not all the times. Thank you!

Happy Training!
Do you have to crate train them or can you train them straight to their bed?
My puppy is 8 weeks old when do you start the training? I'm trying to train her now but she has such a short attention span. She is a Australian cattle dog very active and nippy. I am Useing a leash like you said but with a harness seems to help a little. I have only had her for 4 days. She is very smart already is using the potty on command. I would say the biggest challenge right now is the nipping. What could I do to stop the nipping?
You guys are my heroes
What kind of dog is drifty?
What length of a house line do you recommend? It seems like the one in the video is, what, 4 ft?
We have a 10 week old Bernedoodle Tiny and she just doesn’t seem all that motivated by food or treats. How can we achieve the same training engagement that the food or treats offer in the video?
I’m not an expert, but they always say treats or positive verbal encouragement. Maybe she’ll respond to pets or positive words when she does what you want?
Have you tried different treats? Our trainer suggested canned chicken and string cheese and that really helped me with my 5 month old pup :)
How to make her be calm down when I knot home
Is the house line you use just a regular leash or something different? Is it shorter/lighter than a regular leash? Thanks!
You can just use a cheap nylon leash, since it’s most likely going to get beat up. I think he uses a 4 or 5 foot leash.
you can cut the handle loop off so it's less likely to get stuck but you don't have to
stuck on stuff around the house
Would this also apply to a 5 month old pup?
Hi there, Karen! Yes, the skills you're working on specifically may be different. But applying some of these elements (especially natural training opportunities) to training with your 5mo old will be helpful. Thanks for watching ~Ken
Anyone else watching this thinking this puppy is already so behaved, why is mine such a little demon?
(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) i used to have a little demon baby.. i understand completely 😂
THAT'S exactly what I was thinking!
Exactly. That's certainly not even close to the experience I had with mine.
When using food as a reward. Things change very quickly with pups. Keep trying. Consistency is key.
Lol, I hear you, mine too
I’ve been binge watching your videos and am getting my puppy tomorrow afternoon 😍 good timing with the video as always! Thanks guys!
Glad you found it so helpful, Stephanie! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Good luck Stephanie! To quote Dickens to describe what puppyhood is like; 'it was the best of time, it was the worst of times'
Thank you! She is so adorable I’m in love with her already! 😍 Have been trying to get her excited and used to her crate, she even fell asleep in her crate without being told. Hoping she will be okay tonight 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
If you use a metal crate,NEVER Let the puppy/dog wear a collar inside.Especially if it has a name tag/Rabies tag etc.
Hope it is going well!
I started feeling good every time she said “YAS” haha
My addiction to your channel is hopefully going to help us when our pup arrives TOMORROW!!
My 24 hr cat schedule is: feed it twice. Enjoy napping with the cat.
Hard to hunt hogs with a cat.
I should’ve gotten a cat lol
@@allywilkeforsenate I don’t hunt and never will but I have a puppy. They’re like friends, not hunting machines
@@Random-mc6me where do you think dogs came from?Must be a liberal.I bet you think you can evolve your dog to be a vegetarian too?
@@allywilkeforsenate so odd to make a political statement out of this video. But to your point: most domesticated dogs do not resemble their ancestors who are pack hunters. Many hunting dogs are not also living in houses, they're kept outside in kennels. And most domesticated house dogs are not built for hunting nor do they have the drive to do so. So that's kind of a silly comparison. An english bulldog for example, is not going out hunting with people. Dogs have become companion animals for the majority of people.
I've had dogs all my life and never have I found an easier way of training than your video's. Like many other comments, I'm amazed that there is no charge for this awesome information. Can't thank you enough for that! We are preparing for our first ever Great Dane on Sunday, October 10 and with this size dog, training is even more essential than before. I know it's not going to be easy by any meaning of the word, however, your video's make it seem so doable. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in such great detail! I have watched them so much, I finally feel like I'm ready! Can't wait for Sunday to arrive and pick up our Marshall!!
We are so glad to hear this Marsha, thanks for all the support! If things change and you need extra support we do have an international online training program that allows you to have access to our Professional Dog Trainers full time. October 10th is just around the corner, enjoy!

I just got my first ever (wonderful) puppy yesterday!! I had expected the worst, that he’d poop and pee all over the car ride home and in the house, cry the whole night, sulk and be sad... But unbelievably, he was perfectly behaved in the car, playful and loving to all of us! And he slept like a babe, I didn’t know there could be such an angelic puupp❤️🙏🏻
🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! May I ask what breed is your pup ❤
Same
Yeah you got lucky lol my 8wk old hated his crate for the first week and couldn't be lured in. He still goes to the toilet indoors after a week and a half. He still bites and gets agressive if you try to hold his collar or discipline him. He pulls, he jumps and refuses to listen most of the time.
Does does react to his name when not distracted, he does a few commands when there is food involved. Sit, down, crate and he's starting to pick up on stay.
Same experience with mine and she’s a Boston Terrier.
“Yaaaaasssss”
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
@wilsonkelvin2531 This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a US-based finance consultant by name MARTHA ALONSO HARA and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment.
@wilsonkelvin2531 Look up her name on the webpage

Knowing HOW LONG to train for is an important part of the puppy training process. And it’s different for EVERY dog! Click here for a quick tutorial on this step: ua-cam.com/video/twdt5pt4jGw/v-deo.html
I tried a "house line" once. I called it a house line, she called it take out. It was chewed to shreds within seconds.
Needed this video BADLY. Getting no sleep, having to play every waking moment, never able to leave him alone in his playpen without blood-curdling cries.
@@kendrac8885 you have to crate train them too
The key for us to crate training were a toy and treats. Stopped the crying and complaining immediately
It’s difficult to “not walk your puppy until he’s trained to walk by your side” when you live in the city or a flat with no outdoor area! What would you do to help when you HAVE to go outside to make him go to the toilet and also just make his day a bit more interesting than a small home
"You don't have to teach your puppy to like food"
You clearly haven't met Hank, my akita puppy. He is stubborn, he will eat only if I'm not watching or near. Makes training difficult.
I have the same problem!! But then again i did get my puppy only yesterday so maybe let him get used to you first.
Starve him a bit more...don't worry, no dog is that dumb to starve to death
Or try a better treat! Like freeze dried minnows for example, or mix a few in his normal treats to sent them and entice your dog
I'm having a similar issue, American akita puppy isn't so eager for food or treats, makes training hard. I guess ill try fasting to make her hungry
@@HomesteadAce Find out what she likes. My dog is not motivated by food, but going outside is his absolute favorite thing. You can use that as a prize for training. It may take a little while for her to realize what's going on, but just be constant and everything will be fine.
How many pups and pup parents are going to live a much better life together with all this helpful info 🙏🏼 thank you for so generously helping us ❤️ may all the good you do with these FREE 🥰 videos come back to you 10 fold 🤗
I have been SO nervous to pick up our puppy in 2 weeks but binge watching your videos has helped me to feel more prepared and excited!! Thanks for all you do! These are the best dog training videos on UA-cam without a doubt!!
Hi! As its been over 5 monthes now im guessing you got your puppy. congrats!! Anyways any tips or things you found extremely important, thanks, getting my pup in a week :)
How was the puppy period?! Congrats on getting to the other side :)
@@shaepeters0n Hello!! I’m sorry I’m just now seeing your reply. Since you responded 7 months ago, lol, I’m assuming you’ve also gone through the new puppy period. I hope it went well for you!!
@@Bluesachwill It was challenging but if you follow the advice from these videos, you will make it through! Teaching my puppy fetch, basic commands such as sit, down, stay, come, wait, leave it, has been fun and incredibly beneficial. Im thankful for a dog who is highly food motivated. Also, crate training was sad at first but so worth it. When all else fails and you need a moment to rest, peanut butter or pumpkin purée in a Kong got me through! Lol!
I’ve had my new pup for nearly 3 weeks(she was 1.7lbs on her first vet visit). She’s 3 moths old. I binged McCann dog training vids, along with other, weeks before I got her. I’m so glad I did. While we are still working on potty training, she’s already kennel trained, she knows leave it, sit, lay, and various other things, such as collar/lead on/off collar grab. Thank you guys, you all rock!
Thank you soooooooo much for your vids. I just adopted a 9wk old boxer/lab mix about 3 wks ago, and I've been figuring I've made a HUGE mistake for most of that time, because I'm exhausted trying to keep up with training and potty training and keeping this high energy dog healthy (I'm pretty low energy, myself). He's a great, smart dog that's learned a lot of commands, already (I was even able to have lunch over at my mom's house with a friend while he patiently waited on a blanket with some toys, near me). I've watched a ton of training vids, and I feel like they were helpful to give me confidence to start out with--but your guys' vids are so thorough and I really appreciate the emphasis not being on treats when they poop or for long-term (thankfully, my pup started out being more enthused about praise, and is just now becoming about as interested in treats...otherwise I totally would have been leashed to treats) Anyway, I'd decided to try to start crating him while I'm home a little more often becasue of continued accidents in the house (I also use a puppy pad at night next to his crate in a makeshift playpen); but was unsure how much to do it or how to implement it. Today, watching your vids, gave me the confidence needed to crate him regularly between potty/training breaks; and we both seem the better for it. I watched more of your vids during his "downtime". I'm learning to change my position when I play with him so that he doesn't think it's okay to bite me and was able to get him to follow me around the house using peanut butter as the lure (that's his fav treat). I'm going to try to crate him completely, without puppy pads, for the first time tonight; and hope that I don't have to make too many trips outside during the night. But I'm hoping that this new routine will be the start of an even healthier relationship with my dog (and him with the interior of the house). He's already a great dog! I just needed help in providing the additional structure he needs. Thanks for that!!
For what it is worth, I would never expect a puppy to be caged for longer than a FEW HOURS and then only once in a while. Otherwise, why get a dog?
Thank you! This video was a massive help. No more puppy blues - we're having way more success and feeling so much better in just 24 hours!
My 24hr looks way different. The puppy has such a trumendous amount of energy at 6am, that I am having issues to calm her down. She used to play with littermaes at this time and can;t do any training before breakfast. She jumps around, bites you imediately when you give her attention. We are trying to gew toy train her, but I am always amazed how calm the puppies and engaged they are in videos, yet mine is a wild rocket that I cannot even start training.
Would be nice if they would make a video for how to train a puppy when you have to work a full time job :(
I second this. He talks about it briefly in the video about getting a friend or family member to help but that worries me too.. 😕 they just don’t always follow instructions for training as well..
You both do a such great job preparing me for my upcoming puppy. I like how your personalites come through in your videos. So many dog training videos feel clinical. All the McCANN trainings show your passion for animals and your work. Thanks
Anyone else who had no idea puppy training was a full time job?
Ugh I am exhausted - day 8 here... gotta keep 3 kids alive on top of it. What did I do?????!!!
Omg. The potty spot training in one day has been amazing in helping our dog. Thank you so much. I did the training with my Welsh sheepdog pup who was having housebreaking b issues and I have spent so much less time outside getting him to go. Thank you worked amazing
You're one of the best trainers out here on UA-cam!! I absolutely love everything you guys explain, and how you explain it. Such an awesome job, keep it up
This might just help me. I just got an 8 week old puppy, and obviously I am gonna change it for an 8 week old puppy. But I have been so stressed the last week and this might help.
Check out the book "Puppy Primer", by Dr. Patricia McConnell. She is a Humane/Positive Trainer, and this book gives straight facts, and is an easy guide. Though, less on the crating, and more on the use of baby gates.
Getting my puppy tomorrow! I’m excited and mortified and the same time, these video’s definitely give me hope.
Same!!! I am getting mine tomorrow and I have all emotions from happiness to big freakout moments. But we got this!!!! 🐾
Thank you, very helpfull video! I do have a question as a new puppy owner. Sometimes when he gets excited (22:18 for example) he jumps up to you and gets praise/attention while he is doing it. Isn't it something you want to avoid as you are teaching him that jumping up to people is fine? Or is it something you can teach him later?
Thank you so much for all the videos you put up... this is so helpful... especially for someone like me who has never had a dog... and after all the books I've read... a video is just something else... to see how easygoing you guys are with the dog and yet establishing a strong bond. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Omg, this was so useful! Thank you! I just got a puppy last weekend and the tip about not giving them water overnight may really help reduce the amount of nightly potty breaks.
When you can’t afford a professional trainer, training your puppy becomes so overwhelming because each video on the internet show a different way. Also, I haven’t seen a single channel that shows you the sequence of what to teach first. It’s a bit stressful.
Hope this comment finds your way. Not only do I want to thank you for this video as an excellent base building for myself and my puppy, but i'd like to thank you for helping me recognize what I've been failing to do as a puppy owner for only a few short days. Definetly needed some self-reflecting and will use this to fuel my training with my puppy.
You guys are the best - I am unsure if I need more repetition watching your videos than my puppy needs during my training sessions. Thanks!
