    1. Keep their world small
    2. Limit access in home with baby gates and crates (too much freedom is overstimulating)
    3. Give the puppy room to be alone so they know nothing bad will happen when you leave.
    4. Three things to focus on first day : calm intentional play (pay attention to how they play), crate normalization, frequent potty breaks (every hour).
    5. Pick 3 toys for the first week - hard, soft, ball - see what they like. Play one toy at a time.
    6. Basic obedience - short and positive reinforcements
    7. Touch ALL over (not too much at first)
    8. First 3-4 weeks hand feed the puppy every meal if possible. Ask them to do different things (wait for them to calm) !!! Hold food under thumb and release it when they only use tongue.
    9. No food or water 2-3 hours before bed. No naps for the puppy.
    10. If you have children, have kids watch the first few days to learn proper touch and play.

      @@MGeorge1301 when we first got her, we would take her out every 2-3 hours and stand there until she peed or pooped (usually took 5 minutes) and while she was peeing or pooping I mean as she was using the bathroom we have her treat, everytime we took her out we would hit the bell to teach her that when she goes outside the bell rings and she shortly started using the bells to tell us she needs to use the bathroom. As for crate training, we would do little intervals of time with her in it, sometimes we were in the room with her and others she wasn’t, we just built her up to the point where she would be able to sleep and be in the crate while we were at work or when it was time for bedtime

      Hmmm. It’s complicated. He’s a great little dog but you have to pay so much attention to them! I’m 28, and okay with the fact that sometimes I can’t go to a friends or stay out or whatever cuz I have to take care of my dog. I would suggest waiting til your older- not because you’re not responsible enough, but because there are times that you will need to put your dog before your desires to be with friends, be lazy etc.

      @@jasmynyvonne562 I can say that it's true that you're going to be spending more time with your puppy than your own desires. I've gotten into the bad habit of being on my computer almost all of the time. The puppy has only been here for about 3 days, and I've already gotten used to not being on the computer all the time.
      What I usually do is spend time with the puppy while I have a show or youtube on the TV. I'm spending time with the puppy and having fun. Spending time with your puppy is fun, but it's more enjoyable when you have something playing on the TV.

    Rachel, we’ve had our 11-week-old lab puppy for a week now. It isn’t our first dog, but definitely our best experience thanks to your tips: proactive house training; feeding by hand (he knows pay attention, sit, down and wait for it....down back to sit! ) He sits at the door now like his housemate without being asked. We purchased a version of the playpen you recommended as well and it is great when I have to do email, personal finance stuff or cook dinner. It’s a really great lower bookshelf barrier when folded up! Oh those books are tasty. He already sleeps quietly in his crate and made it 4 hours without a break last night. We are still working on nipping and mouthiness. Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!!

    1. Keep their world small
    2. Use babygates/playpens/crates to limit access in the home to avoid potty accidents
    3. Get them used to you not always being around by leaving them alone in short intervals to prevent sepanx
    4. Crate-train them by playing inside and around their crate
    5. Buy at least 3 toys to stimulate their minds, preferably toys that make a sound
    6. Get them used to being touched to prevent issues down the road
    7. Hand-feed the puppy every single meal for the first 3-4 weeks to stop puppy biting and start asking them to do tricks before giving them their meal. Optional: only release the kibble in your hand when the puppy uses their tongue instead of their teeth to try to gain access to the treat to encourage being gentle
    8. Don’t give water 2-4 hours before bedtime to prevent accidents during the night
    9. No naps at night so puppy sleeps thru the night
    10. If you have kids, try letting them observe how to interact properly with the puppy first before playing
    Not completely accurate or complete, these are more like personal notes 💚

    Hey Rachel, Can you please create a video on teaching your puppy to let you know when they need to go outside for potty? My puppy sometimes wines and/or barks, and sometimes he does not, and ends up going inside. It is never consistent. Mistakes happen on days he drinks more water than usual. We are usually on top of it for taking him outside most times, but this is before he even has a chance to make a mistake. We considered teaching the bell method, but I am hoping you could make some recommendations. Thanks!

      I had the same problem I wanted one so bad and my mom was ok with getting one but my dad said no for around 5 years. This year he finally let me get one it was the hardest thing to convince him. It was my birthday gift and Christmas gift and I have to do all the work and stuff and he said that if I don’t do the work that we will return him and never get another one so I’ve always done all the work I’ve only had him for 6 weeks. but before I can tell you how to convince why doesn’t she want on once I know I can try to help you because most likely it was the same type of situation as me

      I convinced my parents to get a golden doodle puppy (getting the baby November 14-20 hopefully, unless we would rather wait next litter but I’m confident we will like this pup) by making a presentation with 100 reasons why, when I would take care of the puppy and how, and I made a schedule. My parents at first 100o/o did not want a puppy because we already had 2 dog and a cat but I convinced them!

    I brought my 7 week old beagle puppy, Tucker, home 3 days ago. He's my first indoor puppy and I've been using a lot of your recommendations around potty and crate training, as well as interactive feeding and play.
    I'm amazed at how well he's doing, after just a few days! He loves his crate, he goes potty every time I take him out (every 90 min), and only a few accidents in the house so far. We're not doing commands yet, but he's doing pretty good with recall/come.
    Now, we're trying to work on him not jumping/chewing on my shoes when he gets to me. 😂😂😂 While it may take a little time, I feel confident that we'll get there.
    Again, thanks for all your wonderful tips on raising a puppy well. Can't wait to watch the next one!
    PS - As a possible video idea, I'd for love and suggestions you may have for selecting a good vet and ensuring a positive first trip to the vet experience!
