This week was Paula's 31st birthday! She hadn't been to the Oregon Coast before, so we took a trip out to Canon Beach to see Haystack Rock. Incredibly, we found a campground to stay at: Wrights to Camping. It's a small, privately owned campground, which is why it was open ahead of all the Oregon State Parks.
The big news of the week is that Paula got her new road bike for 2020. It's an aloha green Project One Trek Emonda with Sram Axs, and Zipp 303's. The Domane was developed for the cobble stones at Paris-Roubaix, so it features wider tire clearance and a very comfortable ride on rough roads. So far, Paula loves it and isn't missing her speed concept one bit ;)

You’re right in that he has everything he needs. He is whining due to separation anxiety and it is normal. My tip is to have him in the crate more while you move around the house generally every day. Sometimes you will be in the room, other times he won’t be able to see you. This hopefully will condition him to realise you haven’t abandoned him and will be back. Then you can leave the house for a short period and come back and he’ll begin to get used to it and will know you will come back. He needs to feel the crate is a safe space that he spends lots of time in when you are about, so he doesn’t associate going in the crate with you leaving. The crate and his bed becomes his safe space that he sits in even when you are home and he will actually like being in there.
this is the right answer. great vids btw!
the production quality on these vids eric is insane. Honestly, one of the nicest and most original content vibes on YT. Keep it up!
Regarding dog: They calm down eventually. It's a puppy thing :)
Cover the crate with a blanket. The darkness helps stimulates them.
One thing with crate training is to put them there periodically and ignore the howls. Flynn may calm down after a bit. I say this, but our current dog didn't take to crate training; he just opened the crate on his own, or howled till he was let out.
If Flynn can't be crate trained, just try to area train him. Leave the crate without a door (wire it open if it can't be removed), and give him a room for his own, garage, livingroom, spare bedroom. Let him get used to his territory, and gradually increase his territory over time, and change up his territory from time to time. This way he can accept hotel rooms. You find that he will no longer be traumatized by his crate, and may accept it as his den.
Hope this works, it worked for my more stubborn four legged friends
Try a crate cover... makes more like a cave. We leave just the top and one see window open. Give a special treat every time they go in crate...freeze dried liver are awesome. Use the same command to get in it, "crate" and then we always say "go night night" to get a routine down.
Happy Birthday Paula! Great video as always.
Love starting Sunday’s with a new video!
Amazing landscapes. Thanks for this
Awesome action angles Eric!
Awesome video work!
That new bike is dope and Happy belated birthday. For the pup, we use a Kong like you with peanut butter for our dogs when we leave. Our rescue pit bull has separation anxiety and tore through kennels and destroyed some stuff in the house. He has free range now but we always do the PB trick and leave the TV on
Killer, thanks! The PB Kong is 💯
Happy birthday! More birthdays to come and more races to win!
Great beach pics Eric! The thumbnail pic is amazing, thought you guys had been to an exotic south american island, ha. Paula, thanks for the floating bike pic tip! 11:52
Great kit colors & 🤩 bike! Always inspiring 😀 thanks for sharing your journey ☀️
That bike though, its like wheel spinning candy! :)
Great vids and Happy Birthday!
What a way to celebrate Paula's birthday new bike, new dog and enjoying everything blessings as always and good luck on everything you guys are doing 🤙🤘💪💪
So my roommate works for animal services and some advice she gives is being repetitive. So not necessarily when you’re going on a workout, but put him in the crate and if possible wait for him to quiet. When he quiets then go in and give him a treat. Doesn’t help with all dogs, he may have separation anxiety, but it may work. Hope this helps!
Sweet bike Paula! I’m a fan of thicker wheels myself
Very good advice.
HBD Paula! And happy new bike day!
great video as always, enjoy your new bike Paula and let see if Flynn can get use for you being away so you can train
HaPpY bIRtDaY PAULA!!!🌸💐🎂...Beautiful new bike and another AWESOME VIDEO👍
I have bike envy 😍😍 love the color scheme! Have fun on her 😀
Awesome VLOG!!! Amazing photography and editing.
One of my favorite channels which keeps getting better too!
Super sweet bike! I love the color!!
Awesome bike footage! I've ridden the Trek Domane on trips with Trek Travel and loved it. I think I'd like it to be my N+1
SO GOOD!!
Simply put: you two are awesome!
I’ve been riding the Domane for the last couple of months and absolutely LOVE it. Enjoy the bike! I ride in Portland too and it’s a great bike for the PNW.
I agree this keeps getting better! I love the addition of Flynn, and I never think there’s ever too much pup footage. As an Oregon girl living in Massachusetts, these videos are a little bit of joy and torture but the scenery never gets old. I can’t wait for swag bc I will be first to support!
Regarding the barking, what worked for my grandmas dog with the same “problem” was her always leaving the radio on when she left her house. Just one of those channels with a lot of talking and less music worked wonders.
Happy Birthday, Paula! Sweet bike,... Beautiful ride-treelined ,empty road.....Not NYC ride. I need to take a weekend and drive away for some nicer rides. There has been too much, quarantining and not enough open road. thanks for my Sunday refresh, as always great video ......Till next week
Always been a huge fan of Trek and I love that shade of blue you use Paula. We tried crate training our puppy but she hated it and we just let her roam around the house when we are gone. Lucy, the puppy, does great now and only chewed on a rug once. It has a funny memory now 😂
Kudos for the PickyOats; the most genuine triathletes on the planet converge. Plus, you just have to love those oats.
Happy Birthday Paula!! Love the new bike you’ll have to let us know how you like it, I’ve been researching gravel bikes and would love to hear your guys take on it. Blanket over the crate seemed to work for us (beagle) but we also had the unfair advantage that she was crated as a pup. We leave the door open at all times to promote nap times there
Had a GSP for 15 years, he hated the crate! We learned to leave him out of crate for short periods of time with his toys and dog bed! Left the TV on or music. Eventually stretching the time to longer times away from him. Good luck! We love seeing Flynn! Stay safe. ❤️
Hey, about the dog barking. Apologies if you’ve done this already... we have a GSP and we did a bit of kind of “immersion therapy”. Basically they worry you’ve gone forever so if you leave the house and return by extending the time that really helps. So pop out for 5 mins and act like it’s no big deal- don’t diss when you leave or come back. As they do well Increase the time and frequency. Hope this helps! Awesome videos
Sweet sweet ride!!
Happy birthday, Paula!
Great video as always and happy birthday. Tip for Flynn's barking when in the crate. When you go out maybe leave the radio or tv on for some background noise and give him a treat, like a chew which will keep him busy for a bit. My dog loves it when we go out just because she is excited to get a treat before she goes in her bed!!
Totally will order one of those hats Paula is wearing in the unboxing with the color "that triathlon life" logo you had on the mug in the previous video.
Hey guys!! Love your channel!! As has been said put him in a crate and cover with a blanket; he will settle. Do it overnight too so he gets used to it and you guys get a good nights sleep :)
Music, as always, is very well done!
STOKED for that merch ! 🤙🏽
cool bike!!
Eric, beautiful still photography.
We have a new puppy, too! Ours is in the kennel overnight and when I wake up or come back from a trip where she’s in the kennel, I wait until she is totally calmed down before I let her out: laid down, head on paws kind of calmed down. She’s a hound dog and loves to howl. So, it has helped us get some sleep or if I go workout, she’s calm enough that my wife can sleep while I’m out. It takes a TON of patience to train her that way, though.
digging the yellow/grey combo for the cap! Hope you guys will deliver to HK. ;)
I haven’t tried it yet, but I heard a thunder vest works like magic for anxious dogs. You can get them on amazon for around $40-$45. It might be something that will help him relax when he is alone.
yup, want the hat Paula!
Happy Birthday Paula! My dog had separation anxiety too. Nothing seemed to help. Hopefully you can figure something out. New bike looks pretty sweet. I want one now!
SUCH A CUTE DOGGOO
So many comments!
1. Oregon coast is awesome - next time you go, hit up Cascade Head, and run up that! Epic, and hard. Good trails for the way down too.
2. Try a Thunder shirt when you leave the house; doesn’t work for all dogs and all anxiety issues, but helps for some and it’s cheap enough to try.
3. Paint work on Trek bikes is always fantastic; need to get one myself!
Go for asymmetrical logo position for the cap! it really catches the eye of everyone closeby.. i jsut bought one cap with such thing and i notice the eyes and also keep checking it myself from the mirror :D
Have a GSP, Walter and he does the same thing - we got a cheap bark collar off Amazon and its been magic. Put it on him when we leave and kennel him, it beeps if he barks loud enough (you can set sensitivity levels), if he barks again in less than 30 seconds it'll vibrate, and if he does it again in less than 30 seconds it will give him a little shock. It's the only thing that works for us when we leave and keeps the neighbors happy!
For Flynn - definitely (separation) anxiety, like others have mentioned. When our pup was younger, we gave her calming treats made with hemp oil (even CBD), chamomile, lavender, etc. You can find these at any dog store (petco/petsmart, etc.). It helps to calm them down and they will fall asleep. Hope this helps!
Our dogs hated the crate so we slowly opened up the house to them (started with a small room then went whole house over a couple months). They were much better because they felt like the house was their den.
Cool animation at the end with the logo.
I’m so sorry but I had to laugh when yal were talking about the howling 😂😂😂 I have a GSP and he was a full on terror when he was a pup especially when we would leave and put him in the crate. Our neighbors would come over and tell us he would howl for hours! Eventually we tried using a muzzle but my heart couldn’t handle it so we didn’t stick with that method. We also tried the blanket trick. But he would just pull the blanket through the crate! We also had another dog so having a “buddy” didn’t help either. What worked for us was just sticking it out and being very strict about bed time and when we left the house saying “get in your home”. We let the neighbors know he was fine and it just took time. Not very ideal for yal cause you travel so much but I also worked at a dog daycare and taking him there helped tremendously! The key is just getting them tuckered out.... which is damn near impossible with GSPs. He’s 4 now and fully house trained, so he stays out during the day no problem and goes in his crate by himself at night to sleep. Oh! I would also do crate training throughout the day when I didn’t leave the house as well. So I would use treats, tell him to go in his home, reward with the treat and leave the door open, sometimes close it, reward with a treat. Basically just trying to make it a reward to go in the crate. It helped a lot with getting him to go into the crate. Lol it use to be a full out war to get him in it 😂 it didn’t help so much with the howling though. That just took time and consistency. Best of luck!
I just got a pup too...I cover the crate with a large blanket to keep it dark and put a few of his favorite toys in there...also, I took out the padding and just put his favorite blanket in there...so far it's worked...but now I may have jinxed myself say that....LOL
Great ride and awesome new bike....also been thinking of getting a Sprinter Van myself...any suggestions on what to get and what not to get as for the interior ....or even extrior?
One other tip, actually just came to me, with your clothing -product line, I am really liking the true tri couple theme, as when I watch you two, that is what make it special for me, I do like watching others train too, so I can train harder then them:) however when I watch this, it is like I am watching a reality couple tri show, perfect! And true tri couple , if there are other couples out there, it will most likely get there attention quick,
Hope you like the Domane. Sick color scheme. I have a Domane SL5 and LOVE it. Any thoughts on the Blendr stem for your Garmin? I've heard it tends to move around and to stick with the Garmin mount. Blendr is definitely cleaner looking.
You could get collars that are noise sensistive, so every time he barks, a smell that he doesn’t enjoy sprays out. There are also some with a high frequency sound that makes them stop barking
That bike!
Just an idea with regards to the coffee mugs, what about a collaboration with a local potter for a signature series mugs ect...proceeds to a local charity affiliation? Maybe the same approach for the hats and shirts?
Thanks for the suggestion! If you have a favorite local potter, we'd love to do something like that. The mugs we're getting are made in Kentucky, which is step #1 with being in the US. The hats we're looking at are from an Oregon-based company, and the shirts will most likely be California. We're trying to get at least one hat model out of recycled material and a couple shirts that are organic cotton. Our mission is to work with companies that are first and foremost transparent and ethical, and hopefully as close to our homes as possible. And we're making moves to link into a charity so that a set percentage of all sales go directly to them. We'll be laying all this out in the coming weeks :)
@@ThatTriathlonLife Sounds like you've got it all under control! However, since you asked, I do have a pretty extensive artisan coffee mug collection, but everything is from British Columbia as we live in Prince George. My wife's family is from Milwaukie Oregon though, so I have spent some time in the area and I like Wolf Ceramics mugs....My favorites in BC are Poplar Studio on Granville Island, cherish my Keith Lehman mugs...
Tips foe the dog! Practice making him calm before you leave. Stay on the other of the door and repeat it. I saw an episode of cesar millan doing that. The dog needs to “ snap “ out of it because its a mind set. 🙂
Awesome. Please keep posting music and location data on screen. Paula how do you get your ponytail to be comfortable in the helmet. Do you all use an electric leash.. sorry I have a thousand more questions
love the gum wall tires. been wanting some on my blacked out bike for a while to add some pizzazz. do they hold up pretty well?
Great still shots Eric -you have a great eye for the right shots!
Google "Barking puppy anxiety" solutions and/or consult your vet.
Like everyone says it’s separation anxiety. It’s also becoming normal to bark all day. One thing to try is not feed him before going out on bike rides. Instead put the food into rubber hose pipe and hide sections around the pen. He will spend hours searching and eating the food taking his mind off things.
You will need to add perceived value to the crate; give him all his meals and treats inside the crate exclusively while you're home with him. Include super high value treats like raw beef bones; find out what he REALLY likes and allow him to have it inside the locked crate. Give him plenty of time to clean up after himself and spend some time behind a locked door. Also, make certain the crate isn't too big for him; a dog's den should be large enough for them to stand and turn themselves around - an oversize den invites soiling. While it may seem counter-intuitive, dogs actually prefer a compact den. Furthermore, it is their safe place so ignore advice on letting the dog run loose in the house when you're gone; this will enhance the anxiety and the dog will self-regulate by destroying things and potentially harming themselves. Also, consider CBD oil as a tool for anxiety reduction; works well for car sickness also. Be his leader first, friend second. You got this! Awesome dog btw
Awesome video like always!! What Oakley helmet is Paula wearing?
Feel your pain with your dog...we had a African Grey-hound that also suffered from separation anxiety....he got better after we got him a friend...
leave the radio on when you go out as this works for my dogs
TTL hat!!👀😄
7:40 The Paula's angry mode.. 😳 😂
Haha yeah it’s still there ;)
You can try with a bark box (search for it on Amazon). We solved this issue with our dog in less than an hour after months of unsuccessful educational exercises.
Undressing that bike kinda freaked me out. 😍
For pup issue: An old shirt or sweater (sleep in it a couple times) in his crate will help!
God give you all y ou must thank s him alot
You could try giving Flynn one of your dirty shirts when you leave. He had separation anxiety which is common for puppies, we went through the same thing. Having the smell of you still on a shirt in his pen may help him. Or leaving soft music on for white noise.
Anyway you can show how you get these amazing videos well your on your bike at the same time. What equipment your using and gear.
I’ve actually got something coming out pretty soon with Argon18 that gives a little look inside. But I’ve been thinking about doing a little BTS action on our channel as well.. Might do it soon
Hit up Wizard Trail - Dark Larch Byway on the way down Larch (if you already haven't).
You can put a sweater or blanket that you use so that doggy has your scent, it should make him more at ease.
Nice! I like that, we’ll give it a shot
Maybe start slowly with the seperation and work your way up. Or a dog toy with some snacks in it so he doesn't associate you leaving with anxiety but with something he likes/enjoys
Btw love your acc!!
Is there any way to listen to the song at the beginning of the video? I’ve tried searching for Miss Nancy and also School Night but nothing comes up!
Canine tip: You gotta make that crate super inviting all the time, and not the spot to go to when you leave. Plan on ~100X's of practice before the pup gets "it". Every single time they goes in there, something good happens. Make crate-time a habit that occurs multiple times a day, every day. Have a "trigger" command prior to putting him in in the crate (e.g. "in you pen"), and then good things happen when they go in. Start off with short stints in the crate, gradually getting longer, and then alternate frequency duration, keep them guessing. But again, always good things happen in the crate.
Personally if we are leaving for a long run/ride/swim we use a frozen kong filled with baby food when we leave the house. Like a slow licking ice cream, but you get the idea (i.e. good things). Use the crate at night as well if you can. Sorry to say, your were-parents now, gotta put in the time (repost from last week's vid comment): michaelellisschool.com/videos.htm Cheers, and keep rocking!
He will grow out of it. He is part of your life, you are his life.....If you think of it that way it’s easier. Also get him play time with other puppies or playful dogs. It will give him things other than you and it will wear him out. Our puppy is 9 months old, has completely grown out of worrying when we leave.
Do you close the gate to his pen as soon as he gets into it ? Its better to allow him time to relax then only when relaxed close the gate .. leave the tv on ?
5 minute rule! Wait 5 minutes after crating before leaving the house. Don’t make a big deal about it when you get home, ignore him, wait 5 minutes, then let him out without saying anything. Ignore him until he calms down. 👍
Yessss agree
Hi guys!
I am thinking of getting a new road bike for triathlon and am in between the streak domain, madone, and emonde. any recommendations?
I am also open to any other bikes you would recommend in the similar price range (2,500$-4,00$)
There are some anti bark collars. Not sure how you feel about those but they work. He is young and might be a chatter box but he might also grow out of it. Some dogs just like to talk though. Mine which is a Vizsla hates car rides always has and always will. We have tried every gimmick out there and she just is a puker within blocks of getting in the car. Sometimes you just have to except there limits as like people they have personalities. My vizsla is a snuggler and she is great at it.
If you guys find a answer to how keep our dogs quiet in the crate while we go for a bike ride please lemme know!!! Going through the same!
You should give Flynn an (swaety) shirt so he can "smell" you when you're not there. Normally they calm down when they smell some sweat ;)
Flyn has to get used to it :D it's about time :D i know this problem :D
Yeah that’s my thinking as well ;)
Have you ever set up a camera to see if he actually barks the whole time you're gone? I'm guessing he's only barking when you're nearby because he can still smell you. If he stops soon after you actually leave, then that's nothing to worry about too much, will probably grow out of it over time. One thing that can help is, at a time when he's sleepy/calm and you're just hanging around the house, put him in his crate for a little while and let him nap in there while you're still in the house.
Pig ‘n Pancake is the best breakfast in cannon beach if you want pancakes!
Have u tried a rubber toy with peanut butter or honey inside? An adaptil anxiety collar or diffuser? Or an anti bark collar?
Yeah, except for the collars. Hoping it doesn’t come to that
@@ThatTriathlonLife the adaptil collars are good. They just let off a relaxing pheromone. The pheromone is similar to what the mother provides her puppies. So it will be good for your dog while it's still young.
Was that you on the One Wheel? Man, I'd love one..!
Oh and the dog thing? We have a Vizla - me, my wife and our two kids have been in lockdown and haven't left the house or him (he's 9 months old) alone since March - we haven't been able to. When we have to leave him and this lockdown eases, it's going to be hard work to reintroduce him to being on his own...
Haha not me, but I do have one for special film projects and getting around campgrounds 👌 yeah that’s a good point. Forced full time engagement is going to be hard to let go of
Here's a couple of crate training tips:
1. Think of crate training like interval training. Train in short stints, with breaks, gradually lengthening the time of each stint in the crate. Even 5 seconds per stint at first is fine, as long as it is reinforcing the right behaviors. To be honest, and totally no judgment intended, leaving him alone for 3 hours may be too much, too soon. It takes time for a puppy to get used to being confident and alone by themselves for that long.
2. Create positive assoiciations with crate, like treats and meals.
3. Maybe leave a sweaty, stinky shirt from you or Eric to remind Flynn of your presence while you're gone.
More tips: www.humanesociety.org/resources/crate-training-101
Good luck! Raising a puppy is both a joy and sooo much harder than anyone expects!
Kong - fill it up with frozen peanut butter and toss in crate.X 2.. also crate him when at night when you sleep . Don't let him turn into a "velro" dog.
