Lordie woman! You have put voice to the things I could not verbalize or explain clearly. As do owners, over a lifetime, we all observe things, learn things. You clarify the criteria, give step by step instructions that are verifiable, and all this with solid logic behind it! Thank you! My dogs say “Thanks” too!

“Bringing Jell-O shots to a Baptist picnic” 😂😂😂 I was watching with my bully foster puppy asleep in my lap and woke him up laughing so hard. Thanks for making me laugh and giving us some stuff to work on. I love your content!

This is exactly what I needed-- I've been keeping my 11 year old kelpie safe from my 17 week old puppy. They play bitey-face nicely and the older dog has seemingly endless patience and does self-handicap, but the puppy seems to ramp up when the old guy is getting tired. Even when the older dog will gently correct the puppy, Pup seems to find it hilarious and romps and bows and jumps on his head harder and more. I'm supervising them closely when they're together and when the old guy isn't having fun anymore I give him a retreat, so I'm glad we're doing some of this right. Now just to implement the rest!!

Thank you, thank you for this information! I have a six year old white shepherd who is very gentle. We got a new puppy, a Nederlandse Kooikerhondje, after our older small dog died. This breed is active and very smart, almost like a border collie. He was 8 weeks old when we got him. He learns very quickly, but he was relentless with our shepherd, biting her on the face to the point he drew blood and trying to hump her, we did the aahh, aaaah. He would stop and look at us, then restart. I couldn’t understand why the shepherd didn’t correct him. As soon as we started the positive recall, which worked very well, even when he had a paper towel that he had found and wouldn’t give up 😂, I realized that my shepherd thought we were correcting her with the aaah aaahs. Within a minute she was correcting him gently and the puppy got the message. Yay! Success! I felt kind of stupid when i realized what we had done. I will be watching all of your videos, this puppy is to be a therapy dog when he grows up.

Great episode and information! Thank you Susan!

I so appreciate how you said don't even worry about them getting along until many months for those dogs not into puppies. Thank you so much!

Thank you Susan! I have a 5-month-old SCWT puppy that is over rambunctious and borderline bullies my son’s 75 lb. Golden Doodle. He takes it well but as you said, that could only last so long. I have tools to help now thanks to you!

Thank you,I am very happy because I have found your podcasts today, this theme I am dealing with about 2 years with my 2 border collie (mix) sisters,very helpful for us!♥️

Thanks Susan, hugely appreciate the insightful nuggets of information, that you share with us all. One day, I hope to have another 4 legged member in our family. I'm learning all I can and doing recallers with my 4yr old (who is surprisingly fantastic even though I learned how to train him by the 'pop on collar' and 'ahh ahh' gang. So glad I found you ❤. Today I'm grateful for being in a position to learn from you, be mindful of my actions and reactions. Thank you.

This is absolutely suuuuperb. Amazing knowledge and experience communicated beautifully Thank you. There are soooo many people claiming to be experts out there and their advice is counterintuitive. Susan Garrett you make soooo much sense. 👍🐾👍🐾❤️

Thank you. As always very, very valuable information.

Thank you so much for this video. Do you have any videos for the opposite situation? My 1.5 yr old dog is “bullying” our new puppy.

This is so good! Saving all the puppy videos for when I get my next puppy :)

Wow - I looked at some puppies and the breeder took the mother away from the pups at six weeks - she said that the mothers have had enough of them by then and that she’d been breeding for years. She gave the pups to their new homes at eight weeks - I think it is more convenience for the breeder than what is right for the pups. Awesome podcast thank you!

I usually dislike a lot of dog trainers personalities but she is the best I've seen knows how to explain things as well as knows her shit. Wish I could pick her brain about few things with my one psycho dog lol

Awesome information - My lab puppy is the ultimate BULL in the china shop. She does not read the room at all, she gets more and more wild. Will try to incorporate these suggestions into her interactions. Unfortunately - she has had interactions with elderly dogs that want NO part of her. Still looking for a same energy level puppy or young adult that she can learn the cues from.

Great podcast!!

Really appreciating this episode! I am in the preparation stages of hopefully getting my first puppy (and dog!) this spring, and I have an older cat at home. One of my main priorities is obviously making sure that my cat stays safe and confident in her home, and knowing how to handle a boisterous puppy will definitely help with that. Would love more content on interactions between dogs and other species (especially cats, obviously, but also rabbits, chickens, etc would be very interesting). All the best from Sweden!

This is so interesting!Thank you!
