I watch several different dog training videos on youtube. I love reading the comments. Almost without fail, people remark that they don't want to see training examples using dogs that clearly know what they are supposed to do. A big Thank You for allowing us to watch Popcorn's transition from distracted, untrained puppy to a (hopefully) balanced, well mannered young dog. 🙏 Looking forward to following his progress.

I'm a new owner of an eight week old, Black Mouth Mountain Cur puppy. I have15 years of experience raising, and training Wolf Hybrids (medium percentage) and just had our 14year old Catahoula Cur pts 3 weeks ago. So needless to say, I have experience with bull headed dogs, but this guy is something else! I just found your channel, and I think that I can learn a lot here! I subbed, and now to binge watch...

Holy wow! Such a great video. Multiple mini-lessons in one go. I need to go way back to the drawing board with my 7-month gremlin because of the lessons from this one.

Well deserved subscription to your HeartDog membership.

Thank you folks!

These puppy training videos have made such a MASSIVE difference to me and little George, my 10 week old husky. He is doing so well even with some distractions, which is AWESOME. Thankyou so much for your videos. Lifechanging 😃👍

I love y’all’s videos! I’ve been watching them to prepare to bring home a mini schnauzer puppy! I’m wondering if y’all have recommendations to introduce a new puppy to an elderly dog who’s deaf and blind? I want their meeting to be as successful and possible and as comfy as it can be for my elderly pup! Thank y’all!!!

[alexbernacki]

I loooove these videos, they are so helpful! We’ve been training Duckie with all your methods! Do you guys have any methods for puppy zoomies? Usually when it happens I try to engage her with treats and commands to redirect it but after a couple minutes she gets bored and goes back to all the zoomies!

[sapofish]

I LOVE this video!!! that is SO me: got a puppy without fully realizing ALL THE WORK, SACRIFICE, FRUSTRATION, and CHALLENGE!! I'm committed! but I can see why so many puppies are surrendered. Believe me! I've thought of it! but I'm committed!

3:06 when I called my dog using her name she look at me then go to me (I don't ever remember teaching her 🤷‍♀️ I think she just learnt it naturally maybe?) but ofc sometimes she won't come to me when her attention is on something else. 😅😭😂

We got our puppy in quarantine, so we couldn’t get him to socialise 😥😥 he used to love strangers, always licking and wagging his tail but since then it takes at least 4-5 days for him to get used to them... he is 10 months old and is very scared of big dogs, and never ever plays with small ones. He is very sweet to those who know him very well. I can train him, but he doesn’t like the dog biscuits in the market.. he can sit, he will come when called most of the time, he will move, go, but he will bark at strangers and pee/poo after seeing them 😓😓
Otherwise he is very sweet ☺️he is a shih tzu . 10 months old. The reason why we don’t take him to training is because there aren’t very good ones in india... he is active, listens to us, but he still need good training so Idk anymore ;w;

Can you do a video about steps to take when your puppy was picked on by older dogs at the breeder?

[mariannejensen]

Is Popcorn of a collie mix of some sort?

[LY_]

I noticed trainers mostly use collies in their videos. Googled the breed and they are one of the smartest dogs
