Thanks for watching! 🐶 What stage of development is your puppy in?
Dawnette Avery
Just turned 7 months. Still trying to train her not to jump on people. She is going to be a big girl. I’m going to go back to training her to sit when she needs something.

I have a 5 month old Scottish Terrier. After having had huskies and a corgi, he is (so far!) a dream – thanks to your 30 Days to Puppy Perfection programme. Thanks!

Just when I think I get caught up on new puppy training skills with my 10-month old Maltese, Luna…I continue to learn something new. This video came at a perfect time. Thank you Michele and team. And happy New Year! Brian and Luna, Spokane, Washington🧡🐶 ( and I am typing this as we just got home from her twice a week 30-minute walk around the inside of Home Depot… 8 ft Long Leash. Her favorite place in the world!….yup, still doing it all these months later)
How To Train A Dream Dog
Brian!!! We are blown away by your generosity. On behalf of the team and I we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support. You and Luna continue to do amazing things together with your adventures to Home Depot and the fun games you share with us in the student group. Thank you so much for being an awesome puppy parent and an excellent example to others. 🙂

@How To Train A Dream Dog God has given me a very grateful heart. Pets are one of the most wonderful gifts a human being can ever have. I experienced the most unsuccessful dog in the world. Lily. Who died one year ago today. Maltese shitzu. I did not know about training. But now I do. Cheers to you and to all of your followers and those watching your videos! This world is a better place because of successful dogs and owners. And my little luna is a perfect Testament to this! PS… I purchased a ring light in hopes of making somewhat decent quality videos for the Facebook groups. Of some successful tips and tricks we have learned from you. 😁😁

I took your 30 Days class with my then 8 week puppy. He’s now 2-1/2 years old and truly is a dream dog. That early start sure paid off. Thank you!
How To Train A Dream Dog
We absolutely love this pupdate! We are so happy to hear you two have enjoyed the program and accomplished so much together! ❤

4:22 the Internet, and the vet definitely scared me with the whole not letting them go anywhere the first 16 weeks thing… And I definitely feel like my girl dog develop bad habits because of that. she has a nervous personality. I barely let them out the house during that time cause I was so afraid I’d kill them smh
ddsuarez
I am struggling with feeling I am behind with training and especially the imprint thing. My pup will soon be 16 weeks, and I fear I have not exposed her to enough in the 5 weeks we’ve had her. When you say it could affect them for the rest of their lives, I lose confidence as her mom/trainer.

I have a 20 months Maltese….he is well pee trained…but has sudden spurts after few months of peeing a little at a particular site in the house i am not able to understand this behaviour….can u pl help me
Antonella Visocchi
Really amazing video, thank you darlings ❤️
sara
I love this but I have a question! I now have had my pup for 6 days, and I think it might already have learned a view bad behaviours, I would love to redirect him but, he doesn’t want to wear a leash or collar and and in an harness he doesn’t want to walk, that’s because he is a tiny chihuahua, so even the smallest ones don’t fit or are to heavy. So we decided to wait till he is 10 weeks old, when he gets a little bigger. Can I still get good behaviour in that time period or is it to late and have i now inlisted some bad behaviours that will stay with him for the rest of our life. Thank you in advance ❤

Thanks for posting this! Hindsight is indeed 20/20…I have an 11 month Australian Shepherd and he is very firmly in the adolescent stage. He’s talking back, throwing tantrums, and testing boundaries all over the place! I don’t think enough people really talk about how hard this stage is and before watching this video I’d even mentioned to someone how it makes sense why there are so many dogs at this age in the shelter 😢. An untrained dog can be a nightmare and even a mostly trained dog isn’t a picnic.

That was a super informative video. I already shared it with a friend who has a new puppy. I’m one of those people that got the second dog just when the first dog got easy. Thanks to the HTTADD trainers and course my second dog is on his way to being a dream dog too

I watched all your video’s prior to getting Captain Jack Spaniel a now 19month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I am disabled so I am home with him 24×7 and I have been bringing him with me places since day 1. He is pretty quiet overall and very friendly to people and dogs… he only gives doggy kisses to children and me lol. I figured out when he tries to hump I distract him with a treat and the sit command and it usually distracts him and he is back ready to play not hump. On nice days he rides in a basket on my recumbent trike and he generally enjoys himself, gets to meet people and be petted. I did run into an issue last summer with a guy with a large agressive poodle that he allowed his dog to lunge at us as I ride by… It happened several times till I got the point across to the dog owner that he would be legally liable for damages from his aggressive uncontrolled large dog on a retractible leash. Now Jack doesn’t do it all the time but he has been occasionally freaking out when he see’s another dog and starts growling and barking. If I stop and take him out of his basket he is totally fine to the other dog and generally wants to play with them. I have tried talking to him when we see anothedog and distract him with treats… he will be ok for a few days then we pass by some 10lb dog and he starts growling and acting tough…clearly the little dog isn’t a threat…seems to work only 100% of the time when I have a treat in my hand bribing him to be good…I don’t know what else to try

PUPPY phase, I am actually picking my ‘Maltese’ puppy up on 1/19/2023. She will be 8weeks old.
Peg Hubbard
I’m so thankful I found HTTADD when my pup was brand new. She’s two years now, and we are seeing wonderful results for all the training you taught us! I think we became Dream Parents to our sweet dog!
