In this video, I, with the help of expert dog trainer, Robert Cabral, teach Tripper, the Dutch Shepherd Puppy how to be comfortable in a canoe.
I show the beginning, where he is almost frightened of the canoe, to the end, where he happily jumps into the canoe on his own, anf enjoys canoe rides...I'll show you the steps in between as well.
I am training a dog for a life in the wilderness, where he accompanies me on my outdoor adventures.
This should be a fun series!

This has already been the most fun I've had in a while, more videos like this to come!
In the meantime, check out Robert Cabral's CZcams channel for all the info on dogs you could ask for czcams.com/channels/JDSFaLJsLt2yHEKp3JM4_g.html
I live in Canada👍
Can we pls make blackbeard his little nickname? Because he has a black face and he is gonna be your canoe budy!
Joe Robinet watch his food aggression. The one that controls the food controls the pack!!
Glad it’s working out. Tripper is super cute and is doing really well. It’s cool seeing him progress. Honestly after about five minutes of him walking around the canoe I skipped forward to the lake part though 😅
Joe Robinet why not make the canoe into his dog bed in the house so it feels like home?
This puppy dont know how lucky he is.
me either :)
This mite be where the phrase " lucky dog" comes from. Your blessed as well Joe.
13:20 the kid. I remember when I had that much energy.
That is right!👍🐾❤
Got a golden retriever that would LOVE the chance to be an outdoor dog, but he got stuck with me, so yeah..
Every time my parents go for a stay at their log cabin he gets to come with, and he absolutely loves it..
So yeah, your doggo doesn't know how lucky he is to get to stay with you and your family. :)
Scout is looking down like : "Clever pup. You just might be alright, kid."
I wasn't ready for that comment....
Chill, that dead ass almost made me cry....
oh man, i havent checked into Joe's vids since last year, sorry to hear about scout :( was a wonderful companion
willi3ar me too
Dillon! I’m crying now 😭
Don't forget to socialize him. I trained a dog solely for my wilderness travels years ago. It was a huge mistake. I couldn't take her anywhere people or other dogs were. She was amazing in the wilderness, but city trips were nearly impossible.
tripper chewing on wood...that means 1 thing.... tripper will pull a scout and steal your firewood in the future lol
having watched a camping video with Tripper, spoiler alert.
Challenging a tire for a stick XD
@@sigpi222 pretty prophetic bud
you have to get a GoPro on him.. imagine Tripper cam in the wilderness
yeah I've seen teh go-pro dog harness mounts. My mate used to put one on his great dane when he went swimming sometimes.
Seconded, I'd be all over a video with Tripper-cam like a cheap suit.
A Tripper wilderness cam would be awesome. Great idea......
Excellent idea
THAT would be cool Tripper adventures!
At this rate he’s going to want to sleep ONLY in that canoe. 👍 That dog just hit the owner lottery. He’s going to love the years of adventure yet to come...me too for that matter. Keep up the awesome work Joe!
owner lottery....yes indeed
Hah. Accurize follows Joe. I follow both. Next I'll find out Joe lives next to GameEdged from the Green Hell videos 😀
Don't Growl at me Bro!! ... coffee cup merch idea!!!
I'd buy one!!!!!!
😂😂😂
I need one or two of those.
Thats an idea: for the coffee cup merch logo - "don't growl at me bro!" should be Trippers first contribution to the channel!!! Yes! First outdoors video- first merch!
I agree, good thinking!
i like that idea too
13:53 Joe: Tripper Boat!
Tripper: *dives headfirst into the canoe*
Good boy
Dutch Van Der Linde good boat 😂
“I gotta stop saying yes”
3 seconds later
“YES!”
Yes exactly. Yes.
“YES! ahh snap.”
So happy you have a new partner!
I think you should train Tripper to build an emergency dog shelter next
Lmao and teach him to make and start a fire
When you shrieked out GOOD BOAT, I burst into laughter. You are a treasure and Tripper is just scrumptious
29:39 "Good job in the boat" Tripper instantly gets back in cause he knows he gets treats.
Smart dog, entertaining video.
That's how training works. Dog does command because treat is possible.
my man just dives in the canoe for a treat like its a pool
I keep realising that I'm smiling without even knowing
I know what you mean!
19:37 "Are you growling at me? Don't growl at me bro" that's my favourite part, so funny :))
2 BOATING DOG TIPS: (30 years experience) - 1. - Carpeting as Joe shows. Dogs try to hang on with their claws, and shiny hard surfaces are scary on moving boats. I use outdoor black rubber-backed runner and welcome mats etc. 2. - WHITE TOWEL for hot days in small boats: You can dunk the towel in the water and lay it over your dog to cool him/her. The white reflects sunlight, and the water evaporates creating an "evaporation chill". Extremely important, as dogs are far more susceptible to heat-stroke than humans. (No sweat glands / fur). Awesome channel Joe!
"don't growl at me bro"
-joe robinet
edit: holy crap thanks for the likes lets get joe to see this
edit 2: i love the dog dont know how many times i re-watched
definitely a good idea to establish that he doesn't like to be growled at. the way he says it is good. no need to hit or anything just get him used to his presence near trippers toys and food.
Sounds like a new tee shirt
What you growling at homie lmfao
@@hammahtime63 I like it!!👍
@@Hambraeus watch the video to find out
LOL in three weeks Tripper will be setting up camps by himself! He'll just need Joe to drive him somewhere.
Nah he'll be driving no time!👌
Yeahh he will make him a fire too no problem.
@@FenderBenz Lets hope he carries the fire steel!
Tripper: "Joe, BOAT"
@@chrislang7460 Oh no you didnt!
Both of you are coming right along in the training. Well done! You're going to have a sweet trekking bud for years to come.
Need to train that food defense out quickly. You're spot on with concern about the girls.
Okay soooo Tripper jumping and his butt going up in the air everytime
Is hands down the cutest thing I’ve seen since giving birth to my baby! Lol! It’s beyond adorable and I love it every single time. He’s such a good boy, I am so happy for your new family member, you have a whole house full of adorable humans and fluffs! ❤️❤️
R.I.P Scout ❤️ No dog can replace Scout, but welcome Tripper
What?!! That stick loving dog died?!!
@@xhappy425 Scout died, he made a video about it
What a smart little guy! It's so good to see you playing and training your new bud, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I'm sure Scout approves.
Absolutely lovely! All my friends ask me how my dog is so well behaved and all you need to do is assess what skills your companion needs to live alongside you and invest your time in training them! Whether it’s a lapdog or wilderness dog spending time teaching them is important 💕
By the way, the Dutch shepherd (Hollandse Herder) are very loyal, reliable, alert, intelligent and obedienced dogs. When treaned well and socialised from early age they will be your best friend for life! Can't wait to see more video's!
"good job in the boat!!!!"
*dog jumps in boat*
"i did say in the boat..."
*proceeds to give tripper treats*
XD this cracked me up!
You've got to be consistent until you can ween him off of treats.
@@confusedwhale agreed! i just thought that part was funny!
Funny. Yes. But hell is he the best dog owner I have ever seen. Immediately being consistent and rewarding him for understanding the command
After all the sadness with Scout the last few months. This video was absolutely heart warming! Cannot wait to watch all of your adventures! And hopefully he growls at Doug a bit....
Everybody growls at Doug lol
Man, that dog is having is little mind blown by the magical treat giving rocking machine in the front yard. I love the genuine joy in your voice when you talk to him. That dog is going to be the bomb.
Of course no pup could ever replace Scout. He had his days in the sun and lived a wonderful life with you! You're a terrific dad and pet owner! Tripper is a whip smart dog. He learned quickly and I think will love his outdoor adventures with his Joe! Teach him to swim. Train him to the life jacket. You're well on your way! As always, I love your vlog!
"you did a good job in the boat"
And Tripper instantly jumps back in to the canoe! :D
"good job in the boat" *jumps in the boat* "well i did say in the boat"
too funny, looking forward to this series
Joe, I am so excited for you and your newest addition to the family. I also am so envious of the great memories and the fun adventures you and “Tripper” have ahead of you.
My most sincere and respectful condolences for the loss of your beloved, “Scout” he was a great dog and companion.
I know you are not trying to replace, “Scout”, we, your fans know you loved him VERY, VERY MUCH, as well as all of us. But, you do deserve to once again be happy with another dog and have more adventures.
Scout holds a very special place in your heart and that has always been easy to see.
“Scout” had his place and “Tripper” does and will have his own special place in your family and in your hearts.
I wish nothing but the best for you and your family and I am so proud of how far you’ve come from your early days.
I get excited every time I see you’ve posted a new video.
You have my utmost respect and I am so glad all those years ago, that I found your channel and I easily became a huge fan.
Good luck in your training of “Mr. Tripper”. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will be successful in this newest, albeit, difficult and patience trying endeavor.
Keep doing that VOO-DOO that you do and I anxiously look forward to your 2nd installment of,
“Training Tripper”.
All my best to you and yours,
From a forever fan.
God Bless and be careful out there my friend.
P. S.
I was on FB the other night and I mentioned you to CREEK STEWART. I sooooo miss, “ Fat Guys in the Woods” and I don’t care what anyone says...you were rockin’, “ ALONE”. I was pulling for you and it broke my heart when you lost your Ferro Rod and you had to tap-out.
No worries brother, honest mistake and it could’ve happened to anyone else just as easily.
Respectfully,
STEVE SNYDER
Kind words about Scout🙏✌️
“YESSSSSS GOOD BOAT”
Got a good laugh out of that one
" Good canoe !" I thought I was the only one to catch that lol
@@jq4136 Yeah he's just associating words with the actions hes doing, like when he went into the right place it was "good place"
Trip's personality is fantastic. Definitely an intelligent dog.
It would be cool to see safety training with him- how to behave when you're splitting wood, cutting trees, starting fires, etc.
I think working with fire is going to be really hard to teach Tripper but then again he seems, (to me) to be a real natural when it comes to the outdoors so far. I know some people will scoff at this or say it's a load of rubbish (but I believe and that's all that matters) but Scoots is with him and letting him know it's all ok and he is 100% safe with Joe, and what Joe does and what Joe says. Wayne (From the U.K 🇬🇧)
Yeah would be a really cool video
Tripper is such an awesome little dog. I'm so happy for you guys, and the great times that lay ahead!
Joe. I"ve only been watching about a month and am enjoying your company. I wanted to tell you about my mother MaryAnn. She has never been camping and watches you and Doug as well as others at 86 it amazed me that this is what she gravitated to on you tube. I want to say thank you for letting her enjoy camping sitting on the couch. When i saw what she was watching and started watching with her she told me all she knew about you and your family. She cried when scout passed . she knows all about Doug also. Thank you guys very much for what you have given us. Brenda
very very nice :)
You are properly honoring scouts memory by sharing the love you have for him with tripper, excellent...I tell everyone that will listen how much I enjoy your channel.
Everything I've seen you do so far is right on. He is going to learn as fast as you can teach him. It will only get better next few months as he learns you and what you expect. And he will calm and learn discipline as he ages. Keep in mind my Bella just turned 2 and was started at 8 weeks in the woods and water.
Only thing I see is get that food aggression stopped immediately. It's just the puppy in him. You did good by taking his food, but wait a few seconds before returning it to him. But make sure you always give it back when he calms down. Honestly I lightly popped mine on the nose, said NO in a stern voice, took her food, and then gave it back a few seconds later after she obeyed me. There was not a 3rd time....Ever. This dog is yours, He knows you are his master and wants to do good for you.
Over the next few weeks teach him to be quiet. I have my Heeler trained to be absolutely silent away from home unless other people/animals/danger approaches us. Also, she is trained not only to my words, but hand signs and motions. I recently learned that she also can read my body language and tones (fully expected) and also to READ MY LIPS. No joke. I was playing with her one night in a training session and realized she spends so much time watching my face, she understands a few thing like sit, down, up, and stay reading lips. Crazy smart some dogs are.
Again, well done. You are going to be amazed and excited as you go down this new road again. :)
repetition is everything as long as you stay with in his focus and I agree stop that food aggression immediately good luck and keep it up dont give up nothing good is ever easy
absolutely about lips . trained dogs don't really know just verbal queues but intentions and what you mean . quiet /whisper training is a good addition for obvious wilderness reasons .
I can't say for sure, but I think the reason my dog doesn't ever growl if I put my hand in his dish or near his food is because I often hand fed him as a puppy, so naturally my hand was touching his food and it meant he was getting food so it was a good thing.
Wow! on reading lips, that's amazing!
I didn't realize a dog could read lips. That's amazing and good to know.
Fantastic work! With the growling, it's really important to interfere with his food while he's eating, for every single meal, until he learns that it's not his food and that you're letting him have it.He's such a smart puppy and you're such a good owner, I have no doubt that you'll have him accepting interference and proximity from others while he's eating in no time.
This is the best thing to watch. I noticed I had a smile on my face, all the way through! Brilliant job (a year ago! 🤔😂)
You two were so made for each other!
Totally catching up.
I love how natural and honest you are! You are giving me some great adventures 😊
Nice one Joe 👍🏼
SCOUT WOULD BE PROUD!! 🏕
16:10 TRIPPER!! BOAT!!....TRIPPER NOSE DIVES INTO BOAT 😂
I'm enjoying this puppy training video series
"Good job in the boat!"
Tripper hops in. Lol. He's a quick learner
holy cow joe props on all the care you are putting into this dog! from the bone marrow to the fixed-space training, it's clear youve put in a lot of time to learn about training and care. a lot of people dont know dogs actually crave this kind of mental stimulation and leadership. you are doing an amazing job!
The genuine happiness from this video and your expressions are so contagius! I couldnt help but smile the whole time. Definitely looking forward to more videos!!
Your little doggo is very smart. He will probably have water purification and feather sticks down by next year. Nice vid Joe.
What I teach my clients:
YES is the marker word that always follows a reward (treat, food, pet, toy)
OK is the release command meaning you're free to do what you want (eat your meal, potty, explore)
Makes things a bit easier imo
This is great advice, thank you!
@@nordfreiheit You're welcome!
As a person who has trained many assorted animals (birds snakes cats dogs ferrets and even a rat) I have to say its not just you who thinks Tripper is extra smart, especially for his age. Sometimes you might think his progress and eagerness to be the perfect pack member is natural and typical, but not to his level. the food growling can be discouraged with one really abrupt and load "Hey!" followed by quiet words saying "you don't growl at me." he currently thinks its no biggie, but people give food AND they decide when your done. Your the pack leader. Great video of a great pup!
Of all your videos, this one has brought me the most joy. A man has no greater love than that of a good dog.
it’s hilarious when he hops in the boat🤣
i love ur channel joe
He is gonna be such a little pirate! 😍😂
love him already right!!
I sugested we give him the nickname BLACKBEARD because of his black face 😋😋
Well he has the growl down
This makes me so happy, tripper is such a lil sweetheart and you’re doing amazing with him, scout is looking down on you guys and smiling♥️♥️♥️
We have a dog that came food aggressive. She was the runt and the person we got her from fed three pups to one bowl of food, they fought for it. It was six months to a year before she fully understood that no one was going to take her food away and the food aggression started to go away. Assurance/reassurance is key, imo, in stopping food aggression. In the beginning, everyone took turns feeding her too, so she understood everyone in the house is food givers, not takers she has to "fight". Has Tripper grown out of the food aggression now? The boat training went super good, impressive, subbed Robert.
When Tripper jumped into the canoe with the "boat" command I clapped and scared my cat :) Yay Tripper! We are all SO proud of you and Tripper, Joe!
I reacted to that as well and spilled my coffee.
Awesome Joe. Great that you got a new companion. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Tripper is Sooooo adorable and beautiful, and god damn Joe, anyone tell you that you brighten up the world when you smile? It feels good seeing you moving forward, without forgetting, and smiling while doing so. Scout approves, and walks with you every step, with a new buddy. Love the videos, as always, and if you see this, Give Tripper an extra treat from me. :D
Joe, you are doing so well with the training. Tripper is progressing very nicely, he’s a very smart dog,& has bonded with you so good. You are fortunate to have one another.💯❤️👍🏾😀✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
the moment you said boat and he ran and dive head first into it, that was so blissful to see, hes coming a long way!
I’m so proud of the dog!
Imagine on how many cool adventures they’re gonna go on! I’m so happy!
Are you?
I'm stoaked :)
I love when all you can see is his tail sticking up from inside the boat. So cuuute!
Not going to lie it made me smile seeing you so happy and excited about something again. Hope everything continues to go well
Many don't realize that puppies are very trainable. Dont wait until they are older to start.
I thought they need at least 4-6 months before training.
@@@samirpekaz3846 I got my dog and she was already an adult. I've had her for almost 3 years. We are currently working with her on training. We couldn't do it earlier because she was abused in the past and was very timid. We had to slowly build a bond with her. Some of her favorite things such as going on walks and playing with other dogs used to be scary for her. We have tought her to sniff out a toy in our home and she is amazing at it and loves doing it. We've tought her some commands and hand signals and she is doing great. I'm not saying your wrong but sometimes you need to wait. It is best to do it early with puppies.
Samir Pekaz that is 100% false and a bad idea to wait that long.
@@samirpekaz3846 Nah, you just got to be alot calmer, more patient, and have shorter training sessions when they are young. The younger you start the easier they will be to train later on down the road.
@@samirpekaz3846 Start training the day you get them. Just shorten training sessions. I usually wait until evening or something when they are calm and in the mood. VERY effective.
This is a phenomenal idea for video content. Well done, Joe. Love the new guy.
Thanks, I'm excited for it for sure :)
dude i love how smart he is and how quick he caught on , i would love to have a Dutchie!
Good to see you back outdoors, good to see a beautiful pup who loves to please, and always good to see Scout over there in the corner.
Tripper is gonna be a great travel companion
You should teach him to stop moving right away when you say a certain command. It could be useful if he meets an other animal in the wild!!
Awsome video btw, Tripper looks like an awsome dog!!
I agree, this is generally one of the most important yet hardest command to master. Once mastered, things are so much safer for the dog, especially with bushcraft and outdoor activities in general.
Its usually "DOWN". Once trained in you can relax. Still, the key is exposure to different situations and all in good time, don't want to rush it.
@@maineiacoutdoors689 yup for me it was "WOAH" and he stopped :)
His name is Tripper ? He’s special Joe.What a good boy !💞He listens !👍🥰Nice really nice !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That last bit "Good job in the boat" and he hopped back in! Wonderful!! You guys have some exciting times ahead of you.
We all loved Scout and we miss him but I'm looking forward to your adventures with Tripper, he is so adorable ❤️
Having him sit and wait while you load up the canoe might be something good to train him joe. I cant wait to see what he's like when you first catch a fish with him in the canoe lol. Great work buddy he is going to be a great dog!
gets me every time. when Tripper jumps. . or tries to jump n the boat but just a bit to early.
You are so good with humans and canines alike. No wonder people like you, as you are so natural. I still miss Scout. He was soulful as he knew what was happening. Just like my older boy. I don't want to let go, no matter what. What these creatures give us is priceless, and we can on!y learn from them. Preferable company to humans, anyday.
This is going to be a fantastic series watching Tripper get trained! Cheers Joe! 👍
Love the bond between you guys. Solid connection and relationship. That’s where it all starts. Looking forward to the journey.
I agree Bob Cabral, showing you love them and spending a lot of time together, shows them that there's a big difference between discipline and training. I feel you spend all the time you can in the beginning, you need to bond with the pup like a mother would, at one point, they know who the master is in the pecking order, like the growing, he's showing Joe he's the boss, and Joe has to jump right on that, by taking away the food and saying "NO" and then giving the food right back to him showing your not in competition with him, your showing the pup he's number two!!
@@trybriguy1357 Canines live in packs and follow a leader, the problem occurs when the owner doesn't make it clear to the dog that he is the leader. In that case, canine instinct will make the dog take the role of leadership. Joe is making him understand he's the pack leader, and he can be trusted.
@@GamingBT Well, I understand that, and he should be showing the puppy he is the leader, it's like pecking order in chickens. I understand exactly what he's doing, I was only making the point that the dog should learn words, and the first one I think is no, so the puppy learns the word and understands from the leader that it's not to be tolerated, only my point. Once again, this is what's worked for me, I'm not a trainer, so take my points with a grain of salt, Thanks.
@@GamingBT I know what he's trying to do, I believe we both do, I was trying to make a point, that's all.
OMG, that puppy is so stinking cute!! His ears are amazing! What a quick learner!
Oh sweet puppy - happiness on 4 paws - good to see you happy too, Joe, doing what comes naturally.
gonna be crazy watching tripper grow as I graduate and move on to college
Same here, perfect timing. Can watch him grow for many years hopefully
A puppy? That's cheating! LOL Ultimate clickbait!
Nice to see you starting a new adventure with a new companion Joe.
Yankee not cheating lol
He was such a darling little guy ❤ RIP Trip
Joe, life is a series of adventures. you have started younger than most and have made a nice career at the thing in life that makes you happy! i envy you and the life that you live. the lessons from Cabral have not been wasted on you, you obviously love animals and your genuine love for all life does resonate through your videos. the fact that tripper was able to take his 1st trip w/o insident is testimony that you and robert know what you are doing. Again thnks for the videos and we all are looking forward to seeing Tripper on many adventures
Probably your best video to date man. Warms my Heart that you’re doing such a great job with this pup, and he knows it! Can’t wait to see more of Tripper the Wilderness Pup!!
Holy freaking cute...omg so adorable...I know your sweet baby scout is looking down from heaven so happy that you have this cutie to keep you company from now on...
I’m loving this new series so far. Thanks Joe and Tripper!
Watching Tripper fling himself into the boat is so cute!
Weird how invested in another person's life I am. More so than that, how invested in Tripper's progress I am. These videos give me a very home-y and warm vibe.
I know what you mean. When I get that notification saying Joe has posted a new video i drop everything. Joe's videos are great and he's so down to earth. People love him and are loyal to his channel in a big way. Joe genuinely love's what he does and genuinely love's his fan base and he's not afraid to show it. One thing I love about Joe is he's famous, in a way, and it hasn't gone to his head like a lot of people who have done well for themselves on CZcams. Wayne (From the U.K 🇬🇧)
Joe,
I LAUGHED,I CRIED, I SMILED AT THIS VIDEO,SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH ALL THESE GOOD THINGS COMING ABOUT!!
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD ADVENTURES WITH YOUR NEW "BUDDY". KEEP THOSE VIDEOS COMING
At 13:35 I started cracking up when you threw a treat in the canoe and he tripped over himself flinging himself in the canoe to get that goodie lmao. LOVE these puppy training videos!!! They are so much fun to watch!!! Can’t wait to see his progress as he grows. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
This is my favorite video on this topic! I love how enthusiastic both you and your dog were, and even the little daily life training moments, like when he growled over his bone. It's all just so helpful and adorable.
👌🏻 . Sat on the toilet and the notification popped up 😂 yeah boi thats me sorted for tonight, Cant wait to see tripper in action man. 🤞🏻🐾
the best kind :)
@@baracuda5116 😂
Same
Its Trippers canoe, now, Joe gets to sit in the back. Nicely done, consistency is the key along with positive experience for both.
He is SO adorable and smart! I love how his hind end and front end aren't quite together yet! It made me giggle a little whenever he hopped in the boat. Sure do miss Scout but Tripper is going to be one great dog as well! When he started playing with the stick next to the truck I couldn't help but think 'OH BOY another stick lover!' LOL
That was just friggin amazing.😘I was holding my breathe the whole time you were out on the water., but Tripper was awesome. Can’t wait to see more of his growing experiences and training. Great job Joe.👍
Love it! Your philosophy in dog training is wonderful, really enjoyed this video.
thank you!
his leaps like at 14:10 have to be my favorite parts
I take that back 16:10
I’m so excited for this series! I’ve always felt that camping and the outdoors go hand in hand with companion dogs! Like peanut butter and jelly! 😊🐕👌🏽
I love how tripper flopped into the canoe around 13:30 for the treat. Glad this dog training is going well and I hope he's a fantastic companion
Fabulous Joe & Tripper!
I completely agree with you though Joe about the growling. You need to put that as No. 1 Priority.
Mainly because you have a young child.
In most cases (not all but most) the pup will be growling not because he's acting in an aggressive or dominant way, but because he's scared his precious food is going to be taken away from him.
So the driver is fear, not aggression.
What you should aim to do, is get to the point where you can have your hand in his bowl, while he is eating, and him not be in the slightest bit bothered, as he knows you are not taking his food.
Once he learns you are the provider, and that you can be around him and his food while he's eating it, he should stop being scared that it might be taken away.
Here's a good link to have a look at, though I'm sure there are many others.
It's good to see your obvious joy at having a new pup. You and Scout made a great couple. It's obvious that Tripper will follow in his paw prints.
Well done you.

When i was a little boy. We had a chow/border collie mix. We could literally eat out of the same bowl at the same time. She was like a moma sharing. I loved her so much.
omg im only 4 minutes in but i can already tell this is going to be an awesome series!! please dont stop
THAT is about the cutest thing I've ever seen LOL! Man am I happy for you Joe. Look how eager he is to learn!
Tripper is such a clever boy! Also he’s adorable and I love how his ears always stand up. Can’t wait to see more of his progress. 😊
