Dog Basics: Commitment of Love

A short Nutnfancy video that addresses the commitment of love needed to be a good dog owner. Most folks have no intention of being bad dog owners but that's where they end up...and their poor dogs suffer for it. Dogs are a reflection of their environment. If neglected or abused, your large breed dog can quickly become a liability to you and cause you much grief. But good training is within reach of every person who understands their animal and applies consistent instruction. Allie is the TNP mascot and has been shown in several of the videos. As such many subscribers have asked about her training and my techniques in getting her to this point. I am not the total expert in this but maybe I can help owners of large breed dogs in some techniques and advice. To lay the foundation of this training however, I wish to emphasize the commitment needed by the dog owner. If you are considering pet ownership please consider the video's points. Your household should be prepared to accept the expense (food, treats, health care, toys, apparel), training routine, integration of the dog into your family (pack), need for daily affection and care, and a willingness to engage in a real exercise program. The rewards are huge. Like our beloved Allie, expect your well-trained and loved dog to be a valuable family member that will provide laughter, joy, companionship, protection, and adventure for your family. So if you're committed so am I...let's go train. ////////////////////// If this video is popular, other Dog Basics vids will follow as time allows, thanks for your patience!

another great video. you hit the nail on the head. Too many people treat buying a dog like buying patio furniture. Its definitely a life long commitment! A lot of people dont understand why I didnt put max down after his accident. I always ask them, "Would you put your son/daugheter down if it happened to him/her?"

[nutnfancy]

@thayne559 Max is THE MAN. I just love Max Cam (Nutn knows me well and made sure that I saw your vids). Just watching Max roll out, you can see how clearly he loves life and has so much to give. He's an inspiration. I just love him to death, and thayne...you totally rock too. -- Veri

we take our dog for a walk 3 times a day, she lives with us inside the house, she even goes on vacation with us. She really is part of our family. In about 3 hours my dog will be back from a vacation with some of my family, can't wait!

The average dog is kept 2 years in a family. This shows how lightly most people take this sommitment.

There's just no reason a dog should be tied out in the backyard forever like they've been sentenced to prison. Thats the sad life of my neighbors doberman. The dog just paces back and forth standing in its own filth stuck inside a 10' x 10' kennel. Get off your ASS and take your dog out. My JRT goes everywhere with me. Crusing in the boat , swims at the lake, hikes in the mountains and rides to the store. A lot of the time your dog can be the best companion. No complaining and always happy!
