Treats we use at Argos: amzn.to/3n6KEu5 It's technically dog food not treats but dogs love them. The shapes are ideal for holding between your fingers while luring your dog. I'm also linking their treats below if you want to check them out. I find them a bit pricy and their dog food has been working great for me over the years. amzn.to/2XrcI2v
Hey Martin, thanks for the great vids! Question: around 29:10 you say don’t use puppy hold after puppy is 13 weeks, can you explain why and what do you do/use instead? Also, any tips for adding a puppy to a home with a senior dog? Can the older dog help train the pup?.... and without the pup learning the older dog’s (few) bad habits? I’m getting an Airedale puppy soon! Our senior-dale is 9y.o. (Her main bad habit is over-excited leash pulling when she sees another dog)-Fyi, Your vids with Airedale puppy Brixton are how I found your channel. Thanks for your time! I wish Argos was in South Florida!! =)
Hey @bca2911, I will put this in #askargos. I do not use the puppy hold after the puppy turn 13 weeks is because they enter a different stage in their development. The are now old puppies, almost adolescent dogs. If it is done well with a puppy the puppy will not want to play-bite much past those 12 weeks. Once the puppy is 13 weeks I try to read the puppy. When I can tell that the chances are high for play-bitting I: 1. Make play-bitting impossible by using the crate. 2. Redirect the puppy before they play-bite. Tips for a puppy and older dog family. Advocate for both dogs. Make sure both dogs are comfortable in your home. If you see something that needs to be stopped, stop it. Stop it all the way. Use any means that will not harm the puppy or the senior dog, make sure that you stop it right away. Yes they can, but it is not their job. We are responsible for the training of our puppies. I wish you well with your new puppy. I have a lot on this channel. Please write again. Thank you for watching!
@@ArgosDogTraining Hey Martin. Just wanted to say THANK YOU, again for your time & advice, which was SO spot on! Puppy has WAY too much energy for our senior dog; thankfully, my parents live down the street, so senior dog chills out there (much happier) while I try to figure out first few weeks of puppy ‘training’ … which, now I AM binge watching your channel, lol! … watching now between puppy naps:)… Let’s just say this puppy did NOT read same puppy books I did!! O.M.G., she is so EXTRA in every way, but we are figuring it out, with the help of a local trainer, family, AND your channel!! I’ve shared the Argos link with most everyone I know with a dog!=) TY!:)
