thank you for making this! quick question, are fresh fruits/veggies like carrots and apples okay and even peanut butter okay at 9/10 weeks or do we need to get vet approval for that? also, how much "treats" do you allow your pups when training?
Hi Rachel I love your channel! I was wondering if you might come out with any tie dye shirts? BTW I went to you merch shop and I loved all the different dog products! 😊
My dogs have been fed kibble and they are fine. They are happy and healthy. They are extremely active and run all the time in the backyard or walks. Whatever your dog thrives off of is fine. They still have some meat and eggs in thier diet ofc. They also get a little bit of wet food and plenty of treats with beef. It sounds like a lot but they don't get everything every day. Some things are every few days or once a week. All of the dogs ive had have lived full and happy lives.
I’ve been binge watching your videos as I’m getting a puppy in one week. I really want to be the best owner I can be! I’m so excited and hopefully your tips will really help ❤️
I fed my dog (bichon poodle) only kibble and she passed last year at the grand old age of 18! Raw food is great if you can afford it but to be honest, even if I had fed her a raw food diet, I don't think she would have lived any longer. She got lots and lots of love!
I've had 4 dogs. All were on a kibble diet. The one we have left is nearly 12 and she's now on a raw diet as our new puppy we are getting next week is also on a a raw diet.
What’s incredibly sad is that vets are paid to recommend certain brands exclusively and most vet offices have a contract to do this. The perks and commissions are just like big pharma. And as I look at the ingredient list on the back it’s obvious!
It’s not always like that, however there are only certain brands that make prescription diets, and there are lots of dogs that need that. I’ve seen so many dogs with such severe allergies that they can ONLY eat stuff they get by prescription from their vet
Literally untrue. I am a veterinary professional and not one company pays any of the clinics I have worked in. we recommend food with research behind it . You can feed a balanced raw diet, but the average dog owner doesn't and needs recommendations for a kibble with research behind it.
@@Crazybouncycurls LOL. You run the books behind the scenes? The dog food companies have ways of hiding things. Read the ingredient lists on the majority of foods. Filler, by product, blah blah blah. I’m not talking about your prescription diet options for special needs dogs - that’s outside of what I know. Compare that to whole proteins and ingredient lists in food - and yes kibble - at independent pet food stores. I can think of 5-10 good brands off the top of my head.
I just want to say that I’ve learned sooo much from your video over the past few months, and I’m finally picking up my Shih-Poo puppy this Sunday. I’m 15 years old and you’ve truly made me become a good future dog parent (even though I don’t even have the dog yet). Thank you so much for being the best dog teacher ever.
They actually do start to learn the spellings of words. It is creepy, but it is when they are older than this. We had to start making up code words and even spelling them with our standard poodle, Ariel. Dogs are so amazing. 🥰
I've just discovered your channel, and in one night you've helped me and my puppy bond for her to enjoy being in the crate, and I've made a list for toys and activities will help our dynamic be even more successful. I appreciate you.
I'm in the process of picking up my first dog this week, he's a 9 month chipoo rescue from a bad homing situation. I was very nervous at first since I've never rescued a dog before not to mention a puppy, however after binge watching all your videos from crate training to diet, I'm feeling much more confident that I'll be making the right decisions from day 1 when I bring him home! Thank you so much for sharing your advice and experiences!
I absolutely love your videos! I was so anxious about getting my first puppy but I religiously scouted your videos & they helped so much! He is 6 months old now ❤️❤️❤️
@Lily Pichardo For a crate and playpen you can get them from a brand called Midwest which makes really good ones for a good price. For toys, buy some different kinds (hard toys for teething, soft toys for fetch and tug etc) and be on the lookout for online sales. Now for food, first thing’s first, you’re not going to find a good food for super cheap. Quality comes with a higher price tag. But there are still some good foods that aren’t super expensive. Some brands I like are Nutrisource and Fromm and if you’re on an even tighter budget, Victor or Diamond Naturals are good choices. You can find all this stuff on Petflow.com and everything but the Nutrisource and Fromm on Chewy.com. If you have any more questions just ask and I’ll help you. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Rachel! Can you make a video about creating a schedule for your 8-week old puppy? I’m getting my puppy Jan. 2 and I’d love some help on how to create the perfect schedule for my puppy. Thanks! I love your channel! I literally watch everyday!
Yes!!! The alone time is magic even if you work from home. I did not do what you said in another video about keeping the crate in my bedroom, just so we could start early on separation. Now my puppy is almost 4 months old and settles IMMEDIATELY in her crate and takes naps multiple times throughout the day in there instead of the couch/dog bed❤️
she said she does the training with the second half of the lunch, and I also do this with my dog. He gets too excited when he is hungry, he tries his best to do what I ask but he is shaking and jumping :D after he could eat he is more calm and I can give him the other half of the food during training. I hope this helps!
Im getting a puppy really soon. Both my husband and I work from home. First couple of days we won't be working. However, we otherwise work 9-5pm. My question is, when we're not doing the hourly pee breaks, or when we're not training him at mealtime, what should we let him do? roam around? have him chill in the crate with the door open? should we move the crate into our home office so he's close? do we let him cuddle and nap on us?
I want a puppy and I would love tips about how long I should stay at home from work I’m just watching all your videos over and over again so I can do everything right 🙋🏻♀️
You could try hand-feeding your dog rewarding him whenever he doesn't use his teeth. Assuming if it works, that could solve play-biting to! If not you could try playing with your pup and if they bite you ignore them for a few seconds then play, make it a pattern teaching your dog I can only play when I don't use my teeth. ua-cam.com/video/FLRs2g-ZFqY/v-deo.html
Does the raw food have salmonella risk? When cooking and we touch raw food, we're taught to wash hands and prevent cross contamination of uncooked food with cooked food. Isn't hand feeding raw food super risky?
Just tuning in to this video - we also have a 14-week-old goldendoodle named Wali (not sure how you spell your little guys name), but I'm super excited to try these tips!
I agree raw diet is best! kibble is like us eating fast food all the time yes we don’t die from it but it’s not what we’re supposed to be eating and it’s not healthy, the same goes for kibble.
Rachel I am so thankful for your videos.😭Before getting my new puppy this past weekend, I binge watched all your videos to get ready😂 and already my new puppy is the best and most obedient puppy i’ve ever had. You are incredible!! You’ve helped make this the most fun and rewarding new puppy experience for me. ❤️
True ! I feed my dog fresh too even though vet and pet store says kibbles I thought if I wouldn’t eat dry and food that is stored for months my Coco wouldn’t too. Love this video, though I’m first time dog mum I am so happy to know I’m on the right track…We are making memory and capture it in videos and photos. About pet insurance , I’m so glad I got pet insurance because my Coco got hit by a car but with God’s grace he is fine and I dont have to worry about cost , like what Rachel said we can focus on whats best for our beloved fir babies ❤️
For people asking what they can feed their dogs instead, I feed my dog scrambled eggs (no seasoning, cooked, light oil just so they don't stick to the pan) every now and then. High in protein, affordable, and delicious! And it helps for an upset stomach. You can also mix in some cooked rice for fiber.
Diggs company did not complete did not honor their return agreement. When a company refuse to honor their refund policy. No where is it written that when a customer pays for a $475.00 Relvo(dog crate) and the customer asked for a refund 1 hour after purchase and they tell you had a change of heart. They informed me that I would have to wait for the create to deliver and I return the item. Then I would get my money refunded. That’s like two weeks after purchased the item. I think that is terrible customer service. Then they placed me on hold for two hours to speak to a supervisor. Diggs customer service is not respectful of their customer. Just a heads up. Henderson
I’m picking up me new pup. I also have a 11 year old Belgian malinois. We give the bone broth with there food a couple times a week. My older dog gets so happy after the bone broth. Also like I said I’m getting a new pup today. I’m so excited. Send me you luck!❤️🐶
Can you do a video going deeper into a training method of positive interruption? Basically where instead of saying no you say a fun word like 'cupcake' to get your dogs attention! Happy bday Bentley!
I was told that you were supposed to let your dog eat during mealtime. I heard you say you brush your dog sometimes during meals. How would you feel if someone was brushing your hair while you ate or made you “work” for your food. I could be wrong it just seems a little inhumane.
Puppies are not human. Puppies like to be mentally stimulated and it's okay to treat him for getting brushed like food. If I get brushed something positive happens like food
i've been binge watching your videos since im getting a new pupper in a week!! she's a poodle with a mix of dachshund. so excited. thanks for the help ❤️
Another super helpful video! I’ve watched dozens of your videos since unexpectedly adopting a puppy three weeks ago. Thank you so much! She’s doing great. I especially love training during meal time and only saying each command once. Dogs are so smart! #Savethemall
My dogs are on a fresh, home cooked diet because my dad is such a naturalist and so am I. We feed them lots of vegetables mixed with rice, since it is more affordable in our financial state and healthier🤗. So yeah, been doing this since they were 3 weeks old and now they are about to be 12 weeks this 14th!
We use organic dog food and our golden retriever mixed with German shepherd lived to be 18. So I would think organic dog food (if you look into the brand) can be good too. But I would want to do more research.
Hes getting so big!!💕💕💕 btw I'm possibly getting a bloodhound blue heeler mix do you think this is a good breed mix to get the mom was going to be put down from the pound and they reduced her and found she was pregnant.
Rachel, recently found your channel. Your content is such a breath of fresh air and inspiring me deeply to study holistic living for dogs. Getting my first puppy in 6 days and was wondering if you had any book recommendations on holistic dog owning? Thank you for your empowering information it has helped me so much!
We do raw. But we will stay with meal times. I work. I don’t have 3-4 separate training periods to do, and I am not going to ask that of my roommates. 1-2 training sessions a day when I’m home.
How would you transition a puppy off of a kibble onto raw? There’s a local raw place I want to check out and it’s very reasonably priced. It’s meat, bones, organs and raw eggs. Comes in 1lb bricks. Right now she’s on nutrience subzero. It has freeze dried raw chicken pieces and kibble, pretty great ingredients but I’d still prefer to get her on raw
How do you start training your dog to be free roaming around the house or what are some signs that it’s ok to start giving them more freedom to roam around?
Just let him or her walk around. You do your thing . are you cooking are you watching TV let your puppy or dog do their thing . maybe they want to walk into another room it's all natural you don't have to help your dog walk into the room or around your home 🤣
You guys need to start preaching the risks along with raw foods as well. They can get bacteria’s from eating raw or grain free foods. It’ll severely tear up their systems if they get those bacteria and could even kill them if not managed. Love the channel and training techniques but I learned the above from trying raw and grain free with my kitten. Ended up with a vet bill that could have been avoided.
What food do you feed Wally? I have been researching premade raw. I would love to feed homemade raw but it’s expensive and complicated. I feel better feeding a premade raw. Any suggestions appreciated!!
Hey Rachel I love your videos❤️💞 I’ve just gotten a beagle and I love her but she makes a lot of noise and is driving me crazy 😅😅 can you please make a video on how to stop your dog or how to keep your dog busy so they bark less🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I have a question about the raw natural food. Since it’s not “hard” does this cause them to always have soft poo? Or does they still have a hard normal poo? Also if I can’t afford to do the raw full time can I mix it with a high quality kibble?
I have a question!! My dog is 5 years old, she isn’t a puppy but would the raw diet be only for puppies or adults too? I feed her kibble now should I do a raw food diet or would kibble be fine?
For dog breeds (shih tzus for example) that are prone to dental problems (bad breath, tartar, etc. ) do you still recommend raw food? Everywhere I’ve researched states that these kinds of breeds should eat dry food to help prevent dental issues.
I’m so glad I found your channel my soon to be puppy was born yesterday & in 8 more weeks he will be home with me & I want to be the best dog mom I can be what pet insurance do you use? I would love to look into it & get signed up

I agree raw diet is best! kibble is like us eating fast food all the time yes we don’t die from it but it’s not what we’re supposed to be eating and it’s not healthy, the same goes for kibble.
Rachel I am so thankful for your videos.😭Before getting my new puppy this past weekend, I binge watched all your videos to get ready😂 and already my new puppy is the best and most obedient puppy i’ve ever had. You are incredible!! You’ve helped make this the most fun and rewarding new puppy experience for me. ❤️
True ! I feed my dog fresh too even though vet and pet store says kibbles I thought if I wouldn’t eat dry and food that is stored for months my Coco
wouldn’t too. Love this video, though I’m first time dog mum I am so happy to know I’m on the right track…We are making memory and capture it in videos and photos. About pet insurance , I’m so glad I got pet insurance because my Coco got hit by a car but with God’s grace he is fine and I dont have to worry about cost , like what Rachel said we can focus on whats best for our beloved fir babies ❤️
Ugh thank God for you, Rachel. These are are the best training videos on UA-cam. So extremely helpful and informative. Keep it up, you’re amazing!
For people asking what they can feed their dogs instead, I feed my dog scrambled eggs (no seasoning, cooked, light oil just so they don't stick to the pan) every now and then. High in protein, affordable, and delicious! And it helps for an upset stomach. You can also mix in some cooked rice for fiber.
The egg yolk is high fat and can lead to pancreatitis. Egg white is ok. Research fats and digestive disorders in cats and dogs.
@@carylhalfwassen8555 I said "every now and then." It's okay in moderation and nutritious as well.
I dont think uncooked meat is a good idea due to parasites and bacteria and bone can cause perforation?
Diggs company did not complete did not honor their return agreement. When a company refuse to honor their refund policy. No where is it written that when a customer pays for a $475.00 Relvo(dog crate) and the customer asked for a refund 1 hour after purchase and they tell you had a change of heart. They informed me that I would have to wait for the create to deliver and I return the item. Then I would get my money refunded. That’s like two weeks after purchased the item. I think that is terrible customer service.
Then they placed me on hold for two hours to speak to a supervisor.
Diggs customer service is not respectful of their customer.
Just a heads up.

Great videos thanks so much for taking the time to share all this stuff.
I’m picking up me new pup. I also have a 11 year old Belgian malinois. We give the bone broth with there food a couple times a week. My older dog gets so happy after the bone broth.
Also like I said I’m getting a new pup today. I’m so excited. Send me you luck!❤️🐶
Can you do a video going deeper into a training method of positive interruption? Basically where instead of saying no you say a fun word like 'cupcake' to get your dogs attention! Happy bday Bentley!
I just got a 10 week old long haired chihuahua today! Shes so cute but pee's like crazy 😔 its only been 1 day but im gonna give it my best shot!
I was told that you were supposed to let your dog eat during mealtime. I heard you say you brush your dog sometimes during meals. How would you feel if someone was brushing your hair while you ate or made you “work” for your food. I could be wrong it just seems a little inhumane.
Puppies are not human. Puppies like to be mentally stimulated and it's okay to treat him for getting brushed like food. If I get brushed something positive happens like food
thank you! im getting a little pomeranian in december. i can’t wait. :)
In getting a mini golden doodle in a week and I’m so exciting and trying to watch a lot of your vids, they are helping a lot
i've been binge watching your videos since im getting a new pupper in a week!! she's a poodle with a mix of dachshund. so excited. thanks for the help ❤️
I love your videos so much! My family and I are currently preparing for a pup and have found your videos so helpful! Thank you!
You’re gonna do great! Tysm
Another super helpful video! I’ve watched dozens of your videos since unexpectedly adopting a puppy three weeks ago. Thank you so much! She’s doing great. I especially love training during meal time and only saying each command once. Dogs are so smart! #Savethemall
My dogs are on a fresh, home cooked diet because my dad is such a naturalist and so am I. We feed them lots of vegetables mixed with rice, since it is more affordable in our financial state and healthier🤗. So yeah, been doing this since they were 3 weeks old and now they are about to be 12 weeks this 14th!
Dogs need to eat meat! Who told you rice and vegetables was healthier? Well I guess it's better than corn and wheat.
I love your videos Rachel❤️ love what you do thank you!!
Appreciate you
Not taking enough pictures is the biggest regret I have with my last dog
Rachel you should make a video on puppy first aid kits
I never knew that kibble food is bad for puppies. Do you recommend any other food for puppies then? I'm a little confused what to feed them now.
New puppy coming Monday! Do I need to feed it the food it’s been getting and ween the puppy off onto raw food? How do I go about that?
dont botherm stick to what hes eating currently
We use organic dog food and our golden retriever mixed with German shepherd lived to be 18. So I would think organic dog food (if you look into the brand) can be good too. But I would want to do more research.
I just met the puppies that we are getting in four weeks!!!
Yay!
Hes getting so big!!💕💕💕 btw I'm possibly getting a bloodhound blue heeler mix do you think this is a good breed mix to get the mom was going to be put down from the pound and they reduced her and found she was pregnant.
Rachel, recently found your channel. Your content is such a breath of fresh air and inspiring me deeply to study holistic living for dogs. Getting my first puppy in 6 days and was wondering if you had any book recommendations on holistic dog owning? Thank you for your empowering information it has helped me so much!
I am getting a golden doodle in July and am so excited thanks you have helped me a lot
Happy birthday Rachel ✨✨😋
We do raw.
But we will stay with meal times. I work. I don’t have 3-4 separate training periods to do, and I am not going to ask that of my roommates. 1-2 training sessions a day when I’m home.
How would you transition a puppy off of a kibble onto raw? There’s a local raw place I want to check out and it’s very reasonably priced. It’s meat, bones, organs and raw eggs. Comes in 1lb bricks. Right now she’s on nutrience subzero. It has freeze dried raw chicken pieces and kibble, pretty great ingredients but I’d still prefer to get her on raw
I really love you videos I’ve been binge watching them all night I love them so much detailed explained and information about the mistakes.
Really enjoying your videos, they're very informative . I'm planning on getting a puppy in the future and will be following your vids for training.
How do you start training your dog to be free roaming around the house or what are some signs that it’s ok to start giving them more freedom to roam around?
Yes!! I made a guide for that here: ua-cam.com/video/0cbXWLac0hA/v-deo.html
Just let him or her walk around.
You do your thing .
are you cooking are you watching TV let your puppy or dog do their thing .
maybe they want to walk into another room it's all natural you don't have to help your dog walk into the room or around your home 🤣
You guys need to start preaching the risks along with raw foods as well. They can get bacteria’s from eating raw or grain free foods. It’ll severely tear up their systems if they get those bacteria and could even kill them if not managed. Love the channel and training techniques but I learned the above from trying raw and grain free with my kitten. Ended up with a vet bill that could have been avoided.
My dog is too excited and not calm at all. She is a miniature poodle.
My Shichon is a spaz as well. Everyone says it's normal tho. She's 4 months old and I'm exhausted!
Really appreciate your advice!
What food do you feed Wally? I have been researching premade raw. I would love to feed homemade raw but it’s expensive and complicated. I feel better feeding a premade raw. Any suggestions appreciated!!
Hey Rachel I love your videos❤️💞
I’ve just gotten a beagle and I love her but she makes a lot of noise and is driving me crazy 😅😅 can you please make a video on how to stop your dog or how to keep your dog busy so they bark less🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I have a 2 year old dog and I’m getting my second puppy in 3 weeks but I was curious, are there any tips for the first night/week of introducing them?
Yes there is, it's probably a little while ago, I'm sure I watched one, maybe like a year ago?
Yes! Here’s 2 videos to help: m.ua-cam.com/video/5JZcINu1LeI/v-deo.html and m.ua-cam.com/video/yZiaGJVdMWM/v-deo.html
I have a question about the raw natural food. Since it’s not “hard” does this cause them to always have soft poo? Or does they still have a hard normal poo? Also if I can’t afford to do the raw full time can I mix it with a high quality kibble?
their poop will be normal lol
Mine had very hard non smelling poop. I mixed in a small portion of pumpkin to soften it a bit and make her bowel movements more comfortable for her.
I have a question!! My dog is 5 years old, she isn’t a puppy but would the raw diet be only for puppies or adults too? I feed her kibble now should I do a raw food diet or would kibble be fine?
You can feed puppies raw. You should ask a dog trainer or vet or look into it more
So glad I found your channel!! Thank you! Bringing my yorkie puppy home in 6 days!
Love this. I'm waiting to get a puppy so this info is perfect.
You are phenomenal!! Any chance of you making a sample daily schedule for new puppy for someone who works from home?
This is a brilliant idea 🤓
For dog breeds (shih tzus for example) that are prone to dental problems (bad breath, tartar, etc. ) do you still recommend raw food? Everywhere I’ve researched states that these kinds of breeds should eat dry food to help prevent dental issues.
I’m so glad I found your channel my soon to be puppy was born yesterday & in 8 more weeks he will be home with me & I want to be the best dog mom I can be what pet insurance do you use? I would love to look into it & get signed up
That was very helpful. Thank you! Subscribed.
I am soooo excited. Rachel I love your videos!!!
❤️
Thanks hun I shared with a friend this was really helpful
I will be getting a Maltipoo in a week. Can you give me a few links for the right grooming tools? The right kibble, treats, etc? Thank you!
patiently waiting to see youuuur video
Do you get meat just from the store? Is there a place you get the food specifically? Do you recommend making your own like rice and veggies & meat?
