I've walked away from relationships, but once I have a dog's trust, I'd never leave them because they'd never leave or betray me.
Yep, our furry friends give us unwavering loyalty and deserve nothing less in return. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🐾

I’d walk away from relationships If my dog didn’t like them
@@DanielLake-xz8qinonsense
Smart decision, they are adorable, loyal and trustworthy, I wished I could say the same thing about guy's.
I wish people understood the amount of work a dog requires. They’re very rewarding, but definitely not for everyone.
Exactly 👍
You are right. I love my boy to the moon and back, but he demands attention every waking minute and sulks if he doesn't get it 😅
Is really that different than any other close relationship.
That's why everyone don't have one but what's the reward? Spending money that's not a reward
Absolutely! Dogs bring so much joy, but they do need a lot of love and attention. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🐾
Dogs only require caring and kindness. They don’t ask for the most expensive of anything. They need love . Real love.
And TIME
My dog just turned 1 yr. old. I got him after my husband died last May, (followed by our terrier 5 days later). My little guy, Chester, literally saved my life.
So sorry for your loss 😥 Happy 1st birthday to Chester. Here's to many more comforting moments together 🐾❤️
Our fur babies are a great gift from God ❤
DOGS....are the best in the world. Loving & faithful. They should ALL be well treated ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely agree! 🐾 Dogs give us their best, and they deserve the best in return. Thanks for spreading the love! ❤️
I went to the hospital when I was 12. My Maltese was so lonesome. He looked so lost. When I got home he was jumping and and he licked my face uncontrollably. He was lost without me. He died of Diabetic Kidney failure. It has been years now but it still hurts a bit. Bingo truly loved me. He was the best.
I lost my service dog to cancer Broke my heart I had to put my best friend down I was a mess for 4 days It took me about six months to get a new dog I just could not cope with coming home to not have that special greeting and unconditional love waiting to see me I still call my new dog(cooper) Bailey from time to time he will always be with me even though he isn’t here. Cooper is awesome and loving but no dog will ever replace Bailey. Cooper I s learning and developing in to a great companion I love him as I did Bailey . It’s all what u put into them .just like kids or any relationship for that matter . Be good be patient they will love you for there hole life. You may have two or three dogs in your lifetime, but they will only have one owner so if you get a dog commit to it and love it just as much from day one today zero and beyond . If not, then don’t bother dogs aren’t for you. You can live vicariously through others who have dogs and not have the responsibility.
Thank you for sharing your touching story about Bingo. It sounds like he was a truly special companion. Dogs have such a pure way of showing their love and devotion 🐾💖
So deeply sorry for the loss of Bailey 😥 Even though that kind of loss can be unhealable, it's heartwarming to hear how Cooper is bringing new joy into your life. Each dog has a special place in our hearts, and it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job loving and caring for Cooper just as much. Thank you for sharing your story... It's a beautiful reminder of the commitment and love these wonderful companions deserve 💖🐾
Now I'm dealing with two SHIH TZU, adorable they're not mine, but my roommate spends allot of times on the road.
@@derrickfossett7298 it was a big dog? They usually have many health issues,
My very best friend in my life was a dog. Dogs are just plain better than humans.
You are so right !!!!

Everyday all day!!! Their entire lives❤
I’m 50 and not once in my life have I been without a dog. Rescuing neglected, abused seniors because everyone want a puppy with no “baggage”. I have 3 now, 1 is from China’s meat market. ALL dogs deserve love and a chance to thrive no matter how long it takes or what they’ve been through ❤ SO many need us!! Dogs bring quality of life to the highest! ❤
Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with your dogs! It's truly heartwarming to hear how you've dedicated your life to rescuing seniors and neglected pups, especially those that others might pass over. What an incredible commitment, especially rescuing a dog from such tough conditions like China's meat market. You’re right-every dog deserves love and a chance to thrive, no matter their past. It’s clear you bring so much joy and care into their lives, and they surely do the same for you. ❤️🐾
DOG'S ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF ❣️❣️❣️
Absolutely, dogs are indeed one of life’s most joyful blessings! 😊🐾
Love this!! And what's funnier? We think WE are that proof!!
Just think God spelled backwards is dog that’s good enough for me
@@davidmushinski8196 🙌🏽
Please be kind to pets they feel pain and suffer like we do
My only wish is that …1. People should absolutely realize they ARE part of the family and should be treated as such. 2. Do NOT get a fur baby if you’re going to regret it after three month and tie it up in the backyard for the rest of its life. 3. Teach your kids how to respect and treat your fur baby. 4. Make sure your fur baby has the best care possible just as you would your kids. 5. First AND foremost never get a fur baby for the kids and expect THEM to take over the care of a puppy because it will wear off after a short period and Mom and Dad will have ALL the responsibility and no matter how much their cute little faces beg and plead, trust me. The fur baby will be the one that suffers. They are a huge responsibility and it’s a big decision for a lot of years. But, they are definitely worth the unconditional love and companionship they give, just make sure you’re making the right decision for them as well🐶❤️💯
Mine are my fur kids ❤
Dogs are man’s best friend!!❤❤
1. Ignoring them, 2. Using punishment based techniques. (Yelling or physical discipline). 3. Segregation from the pack. (Should never be isolated from the family). 4. No house rules. (Consistency is key). 5. Punishing fearful behaviour. 6. Using a crate as punishment. (Should be a happy place, not a time out place, It should be their safe place). 7. Rubbing their nose in it. ( positive reinforcement, not cruelty and abuse. 8. Using the come command for negative reasons. It should be for positive reasons, like play, food, or going for a walk, not for punishment. 9. Being a party pooper. They need to play fetch, or running after a ball, even for ten minutes. (You can all thank me later).
Yes a dogs love is unconditional
Couldn't agree more! 🐾 Dogs really do give us their whole heart 💖
I consider raising a dog like raising children. It takes knowledge and a lot of work. I do a lot of reading and watching videos on dogs. Socialization is one of the most important things for a puppy to grow up into a fine dog. My 2 year old female Australian cattle dog Koda is a maniac. But when I tell her to stop, stay and come she does right away. Very smart, loyal and obedient! I love her so much! I adopted her on 11/15/23 from a local animal shelter. I hit the lottery with Koda! I can't say in words enough good about her. But she's still a maniac! I'm 68 years old, walking Koda 7 days a week. My doctor says I'm in phenominal heath for my age. It's because of God and dogs! I dog sit for some big dogs also. Koda loves everybody including all animals. She's a saint of the dog world! And if she's forced to fight, she is a fighter. I break up dog fights in a matter of seconds. Koda prefers to be a lover. Everybody loves Koda! I'm extremely blessed!
Wow, Koda sounds like a true gem and a testament to the joys of adopting! It’s clear she has a wonderful life filled with love and care. Thanks for sharing your story 🐾💕
@@Smelly-Belly I've rescued dogs from private people over the years, but Koda was the first from a dog pound. I live in Illinois, Koda was a surrender from Iowa, because I guess Iowa euthanizes dogs after 7 days in the pound. My sister found her for me on Facebook and she was right close by in my county. Koda was only in the pound for 2 days before I adopted her. An elderly Christian lady friend of mine just recently had a stroke. Her son took her dog Tinker Bell to the pound, not even trying to find a home for her. People were upset! I found out about it right away, so on 4/11/24 I went to the pound and adopted Tinker. She's 11 years old, a Jack Russell terrier/Chihuahua mix. She still acts like a young pup. Koda and Tinker are best friends playing all the time. I tell you what, adopting dogs from the pound has been very inspirational for me. I'm very happy and so are Koda and Tinker. It's been a journey! I believe things happen for a reason! And no I do not know the reason, but God does. Thanks for the reply! Take care! May many blessings fall upon you and your family.
Wrong. Dogs will respect u😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Some people shouldn’t own a dog.
💯 totally agree with you, some people do not deserve to have a dog
A lot of people shouldn't own dogs
My sister graduated from vet school about thirty years ago and her first job was at the ASAPA in Harlem and she told me she lost all faith n humanity after a few months. People are idiots.
Wow, that sounds like a tough experience for your sister. It's really heartbreaking to see the challenges animals face, but thankfully there are heroes like her who step up to help. Let's keep spreading love for our furry friends! 🐾💖
Or have kids!!
Dogs are my best friends they got your back even in a fight. I take mine on trips , hiking , boating and camping.
I had a female Beagle that was 8 years old and was diagnosed with Kidney Disease...Our vet would not be open to us about how much time she may have left...we really didn't understand the seriousness of the disease. I am a disabled Firefighter and suddenly found myself unable to work anymore when she was around 6 years old and I would not have been able to get through my depression without her...we bonded so much and she was my shadow 24 / 7. I found myself having to have surgery and was away from her for several weeks. Some people don't understand how some dogs have extreme separation anxiety and can get very depressed when their world and routines suddenly change. My Dixie got so depressed our family members that kept her couldn't get her to hardly eat or drink and just was so lifeless... Once I got back home she was excited to see me but in the days that followed I could tell that something was not quite right. After about a week she completely stopped eating and started throwing up. We took her to the vet and they kept her for 3 days giving her everything they could. Again being separated just completely finished things up for her will to live. We decided to just bring her home and love on her and keep her close to us. On the morning of the 3rd day from her being home from the vet she climbed into her bed and went to sleep and shortly after that she crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 🐕...That was 1 1/2 years ago and I have had a very difficult time dealing with her loss. I never knew that I could grieve so much for the loss of a pet. I felt so guilty for a long time thinking that me leaving her caused her so much grief and depression that she gave up which caused her kidneys to start to fail and then everything just dominoed from there. Please cherish every minute that you have with your pets and give them your unconditional love during the short time they are with us....I will forever miss my Dixie girl.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Dixie sounded like a wonderful and loving companion, and it's clear she meant the world to you. Grieving for a pet is so incredibly tough, but it's because they fill our lives with so much love and joy. Don't be too hard on yourself; you gave her a beautiful, loving home, and I'm sure she treasured every moment with you. Cherishing those memories is a lovely way to keep her spirit close. 🌈🐾
Please don't think you caused your baby's death! She knew how much you loved her and she missed you but you didn't abandon her, & I wish I could have seen her face when you returned home! She loved you, but God called her, and she and God both know there are more out there that your love can help & save! God bless you both! Rev. Jackie
Pets are the best! Love them well!
My little girl Sophie is my whole life and is my daughter and I love her more then ppl lol except my mother of course I would do anything for her cuz she’s made my life so much better I do t think I could ever repay her fully for her unconditional love and support she’s gotten me through the roughest times of my life I don’t know what I would do if she was never in my life she means more to me the gold or diamonds there is no competition at all
💖 It sounds like Sophie is such a wonderful blessing in your life! Thanks for sharing your story with us! 🐾
My dogs name is Sophie also
My dogs are my friends my family and my life xxx
They truly make our lives whole with their unconditional love and loyalty, don't they? 🐾💖
Mine too
My dogs taught me a lot. One lesson is, dogs understand discipline, but they don't understand punishment. They live in the present moment and only see that you're a bad parent.
Puzzles are fun and easy to make. Putting treats on a towel and rolling it up and having your dog sniff and work to uncover the treat is a good one. Freezing treats in an ice cube tray with doggie-safe broth or water is great for hot days. There are also snuffle mats you can buy to hide treats in. Tearing paper is also a good activity. I use the brown paper from boxes and my dog is happy to tear it up. It keeps him busy and he finds it super fun.
Thanks for sharing these awesome ideas! 🐾 I love how creative you are with keeping your dog entertained. The paper tearing trick sounds like a blast! 😊🐶
Dogs are worth every bit of the time you have to spend taking care of them. My dogs are and will always be my most loyal friends.I will LOVE Them forever.
Rawhide is not good for dogs.
Agree and I don't give them bully sticks either.
Thanks for your concern! The safety of any rawhide treat will be influenced by how and where it was made, definitely worh checking before purchase 🐾
I never give my dogs any type of rawhide treats no matter where or how they are made. They can still get caught in their throats or even their intestines. I unfortunately learned this the hard way and I stick to homemade treats.
The dog's the only one who's ever truly happy to see you when you come home. Everybody else wants something. 💯
Thank you for a good and educational video. Many of us really think we know dog behavior, when actually we know very little. Thank you once again!
Rawhide bones are a definite NO. Ask a vet. I agree with the comments below. They are a life saver - in so many ways. ♥♥♥
Recommending RAWHIDE? Bad info.
Thanks for your concern! The safety of any rawhide treat will be influenced by how and where it was made, definitely worh checking before purchase 🐾
America good, China bad
My dogs love rawhide never had a problem
@@Smelly-Belly The worst thing you can give a dog.
I do, i always had dog's. Don't you ever ignoring them , make time for them,,love them no matter what they did, and after is ok to put in time out ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing.
I don’t have a “come” command. In a playful tune I ask, “Where’s that boy?” He comes trotting up and I continue, “ There he is! You want to go potty or get the mail…” I harness him up and he goes happily out the door with me
I have a cockapoo and she is so needy but I love her so much and will all protect her.
lol. My older huskies potty trained my younger husky. It’s amazing how they teach each other . Huskies are all I know but they are like humans. They are my children.
Dogs are more loyal than some people i know faithful too return too you they dont betray there pack and we should never betray them they are such amazing creatures that god sent down here to help us in many things we should help our beloved animals as well i swear when my dog passes away he will have a grave and a service in his honor because he was such hope healing ect emotional and physical too me
always celebrate coming home with your dog its important.
I have a rat terrier I play with her every day and we sleep tight together
Same with Pablo, my chiweenie
That sounds wonderful! It's clear you two have a special bond. Keep enjoying those precious moments together 🐾
We are on our second rat terrier. We lost our 17 year old guy last year, and on December 31st., we found a ‘senior’ Rattie 100 miles away at a shelter. He was 8 years old, and we headed out to meet him. He came home with us, and he is amazing. Sleeps in bed with us every night. What a great dog!
Dogs aren't as complicated as people make them out to be. They may not think just like us but it isn't really that far off. You just need to put how you would feel in the context of a dog and how they see the world. That really applies to most living things. A good general rule for most living things is don't look at them too long. Take breaks. If you walk past someone on the street and they don't take there eyes off you how does that make you feel?
Great points! 🐾 Dogs do have a lot of similarities with us in some ways, and imagining things from their perspective can definitely help us connect better with them. And you're right about the staring-nobody likes to be stared down, not even our furry friends! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and joining the conversation. 🐶💬
Instead of free feeding your dog make them earn their food by food luring. Feed them their food when training them daily. Their obedience will be amazing and they will follow every command you give them overtime. I have two Rottweilers and a working line German Shepherd and they’ve turned out awesome with this training technique.
It's great to hear that technique has worked so well for your dogs 😊🐾 Thanks for sharing your experience!
I think it was a Robert Cabral video that I watched 4 years ago, where he said, "Never punish puppy for learning." Well, my "puppy" is now 4 years old and he has never been punished for learning. He knows the word "no" as it has been used during undesirable behaviors. However, "no" is never shouted or said in anger, but as a flat, simple expression to denote disapproval, followed by showing pup what the desired behavior is, followed by a reward and lots of positive words/praise. Using this method, potty training took only 2 short weeks. This method, along with pre-teaching (i.e., whenever you see pup going potty, training moment or not, praise and reward are given). Pup quickly associates what is desired. All mistakes are teaching moments. After learning desirable behavior, the rare mistakes are again teaching moments to reinforce desired behavior. As for high anxiety or fearful behavior, the methods shown in this video didn't work for me. What did work, however, is giving pup commands he knows (sit, down, stay, etc...often repeatedly) in a firm and calm manner, worked and still works much better. House rules? You bet! Pup knows which items of furniture are off limits and that he will not get treats from the dinner table (although he sits patiently hoping I'll change the rule). My pup loves routine as well. Mess up his routine, and you better do something positive to make up for it. For example, when traveling, meals don't always come at the routine times and then pup refuses to eat. Positive make up? Give him a meal of his favorite wet food, Turducken...he will eat that! Don't take him for a long walk? Better play Frisbee in the yard for a long while! Dogs require that you invest your interest and time in their individual needs. Do that, and pup will be a faithful, loyal, and loving friend. Come bedtime, I tell pup, "Time to sleep," and he jumps up on the bed and rolls over on his back for tummy rubs. After a few minutes of that, he will not bother me again until I get up in the morning (except for the rare times he wakes me up to go potty). Love my pup...can't imagine life now without him!
That sounds like a wonderful journey with your pup! Your approach of gentle guidance and positive reinforcement clearly works wonders. It’s great to see how training with patience and consistency can build such a strong bond. Keep enjoying those precious moments and routines you've developed together! Thanks for sharing your experience with us 🐾💖
Dense text - so hard to read.
I am so blessed I have a beautiful blind dog that loves me and I have congestive heart failure so sometimes I don't feel like getting up especially in the morning but she'll come and wine and look at me like what's wrong with you let's get up and when I start getting up and moving I feel better and I noticed that dogs love a a scheduled to do things and they love it when you keep it and they have favorite words to my dog's favorite three words are Peepee bye bye and treat
I agree with most of what you said here with a few caveats. The first one is your notion that putting a dog's nose to what they did confuses them. When your tone and body language tell them that they've made you unhappy putting their nose to it tells them that what they are specifically smelling their own sent on is what made you unhappy. Bear in mind that the roughest you should ever be with your dog is during playtime. When correcting your dog's bad behavior physical contact should be light. When telling your dog that what they did is bad you should place your forefingers on their snout or between the eyes. Do not hit. Simply touch. This is the nicest way for one dog to tell another "stop it" or "don't do that". Additionally using timeout can instill discipline and self-control. Using these simple methods in combination with rewarding correct behavior helps the dog to learn and grow faster. It's also worth mentioning that while the so-called experts claim a dog's intelligence caps at about the equivalent of a 3-5 year old toddler. I have a lifetime of experience with dogs and have seen many demonstrate much higher intelligence.
Thanks for sharing your perspective and experience! 🐶 It's always interesting to hear different approaches to training and interacting with dogs. It's clear you care deeply about treating dogs with kindness and respect, and it's great to get insights from someone with so much experience. I appreciate the thoughtful discussion on how to effectively communicate with our furry friends! 🌟
Lovely dogs! 🙂
Dogs give us everything and we let them down often.
Pablo mirrors my moods all the time.
Sounds like he really knows you and loves your company, no matter the mood! 🐶💖
I have American Eskimo dogs.They get their feelings hurt if you just scold them.Easy to train.But they can think for themselves too.Which can get them into some situations.Had a mini named Cleo.I got her from someone when she was about a year and a half old.I would let her out to go potty.She would be up the hill.I would call her.She would look at me like,Not yet.Then make her way back.But she eventually went down hill.Chose my mom over me.Not unusual for an Eskie.They always have a number one person.Very loyal and smart.Dogs cheer us up.Help us.Wonderful animals deserve respect.
BRAVO..👍 Thank you..
Rawhide is very bad for dogs,it bungs up their insides it can kill them.😥
Number 7 is correct. Do not do that!
I have subscribed. thanks for this video. I don't ever feed a dog rawhide - that is old advice. But I love the tips you have given.
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your feedback! 🌟 I'm glad to hear that you found the tips helpful, and it's great to get your perspective on feeding dogs rawhide as well. 🐶💕
Giving the dog to "trainers" instead of working with them under the instruction of professionals is also betrayel, abuse and neglijence
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s all about teamwork and love 💕
#5 is enforcing and rewarding the scared behavior. Don't do this.
Limited use of punitive training does have its place in correcting bad behaviors. I.e. a sharp, harsh "*NO!*" at the instant they start humping a leg can get them to stop, but it must be coupled with giving them something else to distract their attention until their leg-humping behavior has subsided. No hitting and no more than one correction.
I trimmed my dogs nail too low 1x years ago and to this day, she runs when I get the clippers. Even though it’s been many times of consistently not doing it
number 2 is just blatantly incorrect. If the dog knows what it's being punished for, then it's an effective deterrent. Same goes for training them. If they know what they're getting treats and lovins for, they usually do that. The old carrot and stick method does work.
My dog looks exactly like the one in the thumbnail that’s crazy
My Sasha understands me better than i do.
That's the magic of dogs, isn't it? They just get us! 🐾😊
I have never caged a dog.
Too many people got dogs during Covid. Now they don’t have time for them
Absolutely! It's a great reminder for all of us to ensure our furry friends get the love and time they deserve 🐾💖
I leave my dog crates open they have free range anytime they can go in and out when they want ❤️🤩
My dog liked to rip up paper when we were out. From the very first time, I treated it like a game, jump on the floor and grab the paper saying "No Mess's" and laughing as I picked it up, playing. We would leave a ball of rolled up paper in the room while we were out knowing what we would find when we came home. She loved it!
That sounds like a fun and playful habit! It’s great that you turned it into a game that you both could enjoy. Thanks for sharing your story with us! 🐾
How do u get letter for emotional esp for my dog
Hi! To the best of our knowledge, this usually involves consulting with a licensed professional. They can assess your needs and determine if an ESA would benefit you 🐾
I have an ESA myself so I've looked into this. Your primary care Dr can do the letter, or a therapist...they will likely ask you explain why you want/need one. They about the 'want' aspect because, you can also get a break on monthly 'pet rent' (this doesn't apply to a rented room in a home)& no pet deposit, with this letter and they also this. So they might make you explain yourself first.
Too have a gremen shepherd it's a life time of routine with them or any dog they are very smart don't ever think they are stupid animals because you have hard time training them get a professional trainer for advice you will make the difference in a dogs life by doing this
Idk about treats to stop barking. Client was trained by dog, to get constant treats. A nightmare.
😄 It can definitely turn into a bit of a treat fest! Finding the right balance is key. Maybe rewarding with play or affection could help mix things up a bit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Dogs should own some people. Quite frankly they are better! Ant p uk
Hehe, sometimes it does seem like dogs have the right idea about how to treat others 🐾😄
I love my dog, though there is a bit of what you said that I disagree with.
👏 ❤❤❤
Teach us how to teach them not to bite slippers etc ongoing
That's a great idea for a video! We'll try to put something together in May, stay tuned 🐶💗
Punishment based reinforcement is all that’s available after a dog has just urinated on your floor. You can’t just reward him/her for having stopped it!
Doing
Never ever lock a dog in a crate ! No more than you would do that to a child. It breaks my heart terribly when i see that, and even more so when the family is home and dog is still in there. It has a door for moments to take them to the vet or for their own safety. But NOT to be there for hours at a time.
Thanks for sharing your concern! We agree that crates should be used responsibly to provide a safe space for dogs, just like a cozy room 🐾
@@Smelly-Belly exactly 💯
Nah, doggies no need that shout
Talk about putting you on a guilt trip are you guys serious I love my dog tremendously and I feel bad when I have to leave him and you guys aren't making it any better thanks a lot for nothing
Ah yes the "positive reinforcement is the only way". Ridiculous. Dogs do want to please us. They also will respect you if you are the leader of the pack, and the leader of the pack makes corrections to the pack in the moment and they don't always need to be "positive".
That is not true, i have trained dogs and cats and talking to them and give them a spank or tap gets the message accross as well as words and it doesnt take many times.
What is available for dogs is generally available for cats too.
Four days ago, my Great Pyrenees ate something bad, threw up in 7 different places in the house, cost me about $400 (wife won’t tell me how much), came home to die but didn’t. Once I got the news she wasn’t going to make it, I did what I’ve done for years. I started her grave. At 70, it’s harder to dig the big holes big dogs need. I got down to that hard layer of dirt I have to get through. I can now take the time to bust through it without pushing myself. It’s hot now in Texas so she lays in the way in the piles of fresh dirt. I never expected to be digging a grave for a dog and enjoy their company while doing so. lol. Some day, she and I will need to uncover this hole again.
Yelling works for my dog, she knows what no means, and she snaps out of whatever shes foing wrong when i yell. I don't have to yell very often since she is a smart,good girl..
lol these videos are too much.
Don't have a dog.
Dogs add so much to our lives and give so purely. They ask for so little in return. Dogs are the purest form of love. Unconditional with unrivaled dependability and the absolut loyality the bestow on us so simply . no humans can achieve that even with the best of intentions and lifetimes of practice.
