GUGP Season 1 - Week 61 - Aqua Dogs

[Donegaldan]

Great series, very interesting especially to someone who wants to know how you tame the dog's natural instincts. I have a very large muscular pedigree labrador, whose body shape leansislike a newfie. He would drag me in front of a bus to chase a cat, or bird, He would pull me down a grass bank to get into the water. His father was bred as an airport sniffer and he has the same characteristics, he would not make a guide dog, however I regret not being able to utilize his sniffing tendencies.

Nice dog training... Thank you... I've got idea from you.. Now your dog won't bother the pigeons ever..

[tara6692]

how tall is rickie? and why don`t they use brown labradors?

[GuideDogManiac]

@tara6692 I haven't actually measured how tall Ricki is, I can tell you that she is only about 50#. There are actually 2 brown lab puppies in training right now. There is just not a lot of the gene that makes the brown color in the breeding stock, so that's why there are so few.

We need more people like you.

Hi I'll like to ask a question.

How do you teach a gide dog puppy house manners, and how do you teach ricki not to grab food from counters etc?

I'm just curious

Thanks.

A really good show!

[GuideDogManiac]

@MrCmlhe check out some of the early episodes, we show a little house training. We do keep a leash on the puppy most of the time and do set ups to train them to leave items they are not suppose to have.

love the cool water shots! cant wait to get my guide dog puppy! im with canine companions for independence and i half to wait 3 months for my dog!!!!!!!!!! hope i can wait that long! i really love your episodes bcause when i applied for a service dog pup i didnt really now much information then thank the lord i found your videos and i learned so many techniques and informations about it that really helped me thank you hope raising a puppy is a great experience!

[GuideDogManiac]

@TheSchoen32 don't worry the time will fly by. I'm so glad that our videos are helpful and puppy raising for me is always a fun adventure :)

[YOURstalker16]

..umm.. hmm. The impossible question. I loved all of them becasue Ricki is the same age as my last pup (he got CC'd in February) and so you kept giving me good outing ideas :) ..I liked the one where you guys went to the Jelly Belly company. That was a pretty cool outing. ..But there are too many to choose from :)

[mattmovies101]

That pool looks so refreshing.

[GuideDogManiac]

@mattmovies101 lol!! ask Matt how cold the water was :)

[BeautyofWorlds]

Week 34, because it is so neat that you got to see one of your former puppies in her new home and it's cool to see why you have to train them the way that they are trained. It's also a great episode to show people who don't know much about guide dogs or puppies what it's all about. And cause you came to my city :P

[GuideDogManiac]

@BeautyofWorlds that was a great trip! I do want to go back again sometime :)

[HannahBanana559]

The beginning episodes you saved me with Haiti Hahahhahahahahhahaha right now she is in heat... yay.

[GuideDogManiac]

@HannahBanana559 Glad that we could help :)

[jobecjobec]

[jobecjobec]

[Nextraker]

tough question... I'd say the one where you guys play musical chairs.

[DogTube101]

All of the episodes are AWESOME!! This one is one is definitely one of my favorites. :)

[gdub555]

I like them all, cool underwater shot!

[blindboarder2011]

Awesome episode. My fav episodes were when you brought ricki to Disney land and when she got to swim with her mom!

[allaboutdog01]

Thank you... You've made it right.. He used to passed through that pigeons without even bothering them. :D

[GuideDogManiac]

@ArtsLoverAnne13x we are not exactly sure what the plan is for Ricki if she doesn't graduate, but will let the viewers know :)

[matttchapman]

@ArtsLoverAnne13x lol...you got it. I will make some videos about the GoProHD.

[the6reenboy]

My fav episode is the very first episode where Ricki screams bloody murder all night long in her crate. I bet nobody got any sleep that night.....or week for that matter.

[greeenpro2009]

Awesomesauce!!

[glo160]

I like all the episodes!!

[sam1107b]

Was Ricki as exited to see her mum this time?? :)

[mspuppyraiser13]

Great underwater footage, Chappy! This is up there with the best, but week 1 had to be one of the best.

You've done a terrific job on all the videos; thanks for sharing Ricki with the world.

[matttchapman]

@mspuppyraiser13 hahaha  thanks

[MrCmlhe]

My favorite episode was week 18.I really liked it!

[wibrle]

Another great episode! My favorite episode would have to be the first first one because it's amazing how far shes improved from a little whiny puppy to a mature working dog. :)

[L3itaGR]

hehe, they seem to really enjoy the water :-) I was wondering if you've ever raised a vegan dog. I've been doing some research and I'm a bit disturbed with what I've been hearing concerning the products used in pet food...

[SaskView]

Are you sure it's a distraction issue? I'm sure she's saying:

"Can I has that furry cheeseburger?

I like the shows where you guys go parks and other attractions. Beautiful country, and interesting sights!

[3BricksHigher]

I guess my favorite episode (or part of the entire series so far) was when Ricki met Goofy... That look was too funny LOL!

[therapydogchick]

I loved the museum episode and the Disney series. They were great!

[ChapmanDigital]

My favorite episode is the behind the scenes at Disneyland.

[gr8hokage]

i dont have a fav ep there all my fav show ^^

[ChappyShowcase]

My favorite episode is the Beach also.

[CaveGent]

My favourite episode... has to be the first one. That was the one that got me hooked. Probably the most memorable for me.

[matttchapman]

My favorite episode is this one!

[aenize4444]

my fave episode is probably a tie between when ricki goes on her first plane because that was a great episode for me to learn about handling my puppy when we take him to the airport in about 6 months, and then the little series of vids where ricki goes to vegas!

[Dz477ProductionVidz]

So does your video show us how to raise a puppy? Cause I got one that won't listen at us.

[GuideDogManiac]

@Dz477ProductionVidz Well there is a lot of information that can be used for general dog training too.
