I look like I'm stalking this guy. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.560 I was like, hello, I'm doctor, Josie. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.200 Josie, I was like a doctor.

Anyways, I'm 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.840 glad that we met, and I promise I'm not a stalker. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.239 No, that is it's a I mean again, small world, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.280 right everyone, by the way, everybody and I have friends, wags, walks, 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.720 my train, everyone in door as like you're the best, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.120 Like you're the best. My biggest issue, though, is I'm 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.280 in this weird position where I'm trying to figure out 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.799 am I going to move to New York City or 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.639 am I stay in Nashville. And I'm like toying with 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.680 all the ideas, but the idea of the concierge pet 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.720 service makes like perfect sense, especially Teddy goes freaking nuts 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.240 at the that. It's just I gotta feel like everything 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.960 in my life, which is crazy, even bet services. You 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.760 can't figure shit out until you have your foundation, right. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.800 So that's like I gotta get the stone down and 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.080 then can like build from there. So we're gonna work it. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.000 We're gonna work something out there. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.160 I can't wait. And I want to talk about your 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.760 move to New York and what they might look like 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.000 for your Teddy as well. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:20.560 Yes, your opinion. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.720 Yes, we'll discuss before we dive into all things Teddy. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.560 I like to start this podcast with the case of 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.280 the week and this kind of just like opens up 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.519 what life is like in the trenches, if you will, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.600 for the listeners. And so this particular case, there was 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.640 a guy, this is probably about a year ago. A 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.320 guy was walking his dog off leash in each EASTU leash, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:42.320 East Nashville. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:43.600 I think I know this story. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:44.320 Do you know this? 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.440 I only said like four things and I think I know. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.040 Oh boy, you know what happens next? 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.400 Yeah, isn't this this how small Nashville is? 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.240 Okay? If this story is right, well I'm going to 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.200 be shocked. If you know this. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.720 Maybe it is one of your class classes that heats 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.000 it up, okay, because it's a successful thing. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.920 Well, this is before I was concierge. But still, oh, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.880 great guy, great guy. Okay. So he's walking his dog 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.160 off leash. And this, by the way, for everyone listening, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.800 I don't care how good your dog is, Like drivers 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.880 are crazy. They still want to like sniff and get 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.479 into things. Put your dog on a leash. It like 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.960 gives me heart palpitation seeing them running around off leash. Anyways, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.800 this dog, he notices is sniffing in a bush. He 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.680 goes to kind of see, like, what are you looking? Like, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.240 what are you sniffing at? And the dog pops back up. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.800 He has like something plastic in his mouth, and he 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.240 sees plastic and white. The dog fwallows it. This happens 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.320 all the time. He's like, maybe it's trash, maybe it's 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.440 a napkin. We'll see, we'll see. They get home about 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.320 a half hour later. The dog is super agitated. He's 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.800 pacing around the house. He's just acting really strange. And 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.000 so he calls us and I tells us what's going on, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.640 and we say, yeah, you should definitely bring him in. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.359 Let us take a look at him. The dog comes 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.560 to the clinic and he has the highest heart rate 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.280 I have ever heard in a dog. It was like 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.320 three hundred beats for a minute. He is panting full 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:07.160 body trimmers, pupils are huge. He has a temperature through 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.520 the roof and and a young dog. We always think, 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.400 what have you gotten into? What kind of talks in 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.440 We drug test him and come to find out he 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:15.839 an entire bag of cocaine. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.800 Stop it, This is not the story I heard. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.080 I was gonna say that the insane just. 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.480 In the park there's a bag of cocaine sitting around it. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.160 It was on the streets. He was walking down the sidewalk. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.360 And we have seen this time and time again a 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.239 lot of times. It'll be like an edible, like weed. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.560 Edibles for whatever reason will be like dropped and on 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.640 the street. This is definitely my first time of a 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.520 dog eating an entire bag of cocaine. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.679 What do you do well the dog? 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.359 I mean, you can give it like special muscle relaxes, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.159 but we had to hospitalize. We sent it right to 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.240 the er, to the ICU. They do like tons of 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.279 ivy fluids to kind of flush the elter system. He 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.520 ended up like seizing for multiple days in a row, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.840 like full blown overdose. And I'm like, I want to 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.719 say that he did great and went on to be fine, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:08.280 but he didn't. It did not end well. I'm so 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.040 sorry that I brought you to this podcast to tell 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.600 you this horrible story. But I think that this just 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.520 really reiterates how important it is to have your pet 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.000 on a leash, and even when they're on a leash, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.880 like keep an eye on like what they're getting into, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.280 because like you do see this. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.359 Yeah, I'm I'm a huge leash guy, just like I 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.960 think you have to be. That is so sad. The well, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.000 sorry that I was gonna say that I thought it was. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.880 It was the same start of the story. Very well 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:40.760 trained dog, service animal, smartest breeds out there, no leash, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.279 which is typical I guess for this owner. And he 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.359 went up to a girl there at the park and 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.920 he's playing with the girl and the girl was like 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.920 it was out of sight of the owner, I guess, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.240 And the girl said he was the dog was amazing. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.360 And then he gets distracted and all of a sudden 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.640 he hears shots, gunshots. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.040 Oh I know the story too. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.400 Yeah, this was Percy Warner Park. And he goes over 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.279 and then and then guy that was nearby said that 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.000 he felt threatened by the dog and the girl was like, 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.320 this was the sweetest dog in the world. That dog 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.480 did nothing. I was the eyewitness. There was nothing. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.520 There were multiple eyewitnesses. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320 Multiple eye witnesses saying there was no attack, There was 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.160 no nothing, and this guy took out a gun and 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.080 killed the dog, probably broad daylight at a very like 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:31.920 well known safe part, which is just it's I mean, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.960 there's a lot to tackle within that situation, right, Like, 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.040 there's a lot of different areas you could talk through, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.720 but you know it does there's the theme from the 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:42.480 other one is. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.400 Like leash exactly. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.600 Obviously there's a lot more issues in that circumstance, but 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:53.320 that's yeah, there's so much factor, yeah, unpacked there, but 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.200 the leash thing, it's really. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.480 Speaking of leash. Yes, talk about Teddy. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.480 Talk about Teddy Man. 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.000 So all the listeners know I do a ton with 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.800 wags and walks and that is where you got Teddy from. Yes, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.280 do you know? Tell us about him, like what's his age? 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.840 Do you know his breed? And what is his backstory? 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.680 Okay, so he is he's ten months when I got him. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.960 I've had him for a month now, so eleven months. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.400 That's all prediction, right, you guys decide that based on teeth. Yeah, okay, 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.040 so that's what they told me based on teeth. His 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.920 back His backstory is wild. I actually haven't shared this yet. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:33.439 He he in November, and I wish I had the 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.480 notes in front of me so I got this perfectly correct. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:40.640 But in November, his owner was arrested, and when he 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.480 was arrested, it was a pretty serious charge. And at 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.360 that point that owner had the two options to give 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:49.880 the dog up. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.880 Do you know what the charge was? No, like, did 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.080 he commit homicide or something? 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.640 I like, trust me, I'm gonna find out. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:55.280 We have to know. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.200 Because I don't have any information. I'm gonna I'm gonna 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.760 go true crime because I love true grind. So he 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.120 gets arrested, it's a serious charge, and then he has 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.080 two options to surrender the dog. It'll go to a 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.120 shelter to rescue, or a family member can take the dog. 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.080 He wouldn't do either option. As a result of that, 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.160 he then has to go in a specific type of shelter. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.440 In this shelter from when I was told it was 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.320 an outdoor shelter. Now I had a roof, but it 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.240 was outdoors. So from November to February. Teddy was only 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.760 in this shelter outdoors through the entire winter until a 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.439 decision was made on the case. He was held in custody. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.720 A decision was made in February. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.800 I believe he was like in doggy foster care. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.920 He was in doggy foster care. Yeah, except yeah, sounds 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.640 even like a little bit worse. Yeah, And they I 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.960 have pictures of him like this in this like small 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.079 area and it's not great. And then when the when 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.400 the guy was found guilty, that is when Waggs was 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.000 able to like the Wags had their eye on him. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.040 The second he was found guilty, Weggs could take him. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.160 And it was the day that he arrived. It was 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.160 the next day I came in. So that's like, are you. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.160 Just going there? Were you looking for a dog or 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.040 are you going to do like social media stuff? How 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:11.320 did that? 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.600 Yeah? I had my ex fiance and I had two 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.800 dogs together, and I don't want to get into that 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.760 on this podcast, but long and short, they're in a good, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:26.440 healthy and happy place with her and I hadn't seen 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.440 them since May of last year, and so I have 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:35.200 been like really like having a void in my heart 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.400 for dogs and It was February thirteenth, and the mailman 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.040 left two dog bones at my front door and I 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.840 was like I can't. I like, like, I literally and 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.000 I took a video of it. I'm like, I'm dying 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.280 right now. And Wags and Walks actually reached out. They're like, hey, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.440 why don't you come volunteer and just come spend some 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.440 time with dogs and like maybe they'll put a smile 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.600 on your face on Valentine's Day. So I was like, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.040 you know what, You're right, And typically my days are 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.680 just warped and packed and back to back meetings. I 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.959 canceled everything and I was like, I'm coming in tomorrow. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.120 And so I went into Wags when I went John 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.200 Gurney and we went to go we played with all 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 these dogs, and then I met Teddy that day and 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.280 that was the again. He got there the day before. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.280 He wasn't even registered in their system, and I was like, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:24.120 oh my god, shit, shit, it's not good, this is 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.200 not good. It's so funny media. Oh. It was the 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.760 second I put my eyes on him and I was like, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.319 oh no, oh no. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.959 I don't know if love it first sight for humans exists, maybe, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.000 but with dogs. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.880 It was instantly, I was like, I looked at him like, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.960 oh no, I walked away. I did it like that, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.200 and I'm like, ohh And I came out and we 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.320 had soul plays. So I'm like, all right, take a breather. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.319 And I promised myself I would if anything, I would 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.240 walk out, take a day or two. Took a day 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:52.760 or two, went back to play with him for like 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.160 three hours, walked them everything. I'm like, he's mine and 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.400 so that was like, that was yo. His breed. He 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.679 looks like a gold but he's definitely got something else. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.640 No way. His DNA testing's in right now, so I 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.959 don't even know what he is. But I don't know. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.079 Maybe Collie, I don't know. Everyone's got a different opinion 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:10.360 on it. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.960 How how much does he weigh? 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.079 He weighs he's tall, Like off the ground, he's tall, 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.240 but he's around he's around sixty pounds. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.520 Does he have on his back feet? Does he have 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:21.520 back do claws? 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:21.880 Yes? 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:22.840 I could he does. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:23.120 Yeah. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.920 I could see him having great Pyrenees And. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.440 That's what that's what the Wag's found. That's what Catherine said. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.679 I could see that. I was like, what, I've never 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:30.720 seen him in person, but. 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.000 That's a that's a big dog, big dog. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.640 And they were they are bred to protect chicken coops. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.600 Oh interesting, yeah, I know, or like farm animals. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.320 So what would that mean behaviorally? 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.280 Behaviorally, it means that he they're a very smart he 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.960 is smart, probably too smart for it's a good yeah, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.840 and that they just can be a little bit more 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.199 like like they're just can be protective. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:59.240 They're protective, they're very stimulated, they're very he's very alpha. Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.199 we've had gon have to check that. No, okay, so recently. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.640 Yeah, was he neutered at wags? 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:06.320 Yes? 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.960 Okay, interesting? And how I mean he's ten months old. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.240 I have this theory that dogs come from rescue and 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.959 they either come to you a little bit more like mellow, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.960 and then as they get more comfortable, they're like let's 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:27.280 go and they're crazy, or they come and they're like 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.840 super hyper stimulated already like really on edge and then 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.480 they start to calm down. Yes, how is he? 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.480 He is the definition of extremely stimulated, like he is 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.839 a wild man. He is. Oh yeah, and you could tell, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.760 like right, dogs are packed animals. He definitely whatever packed 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.920 he was in, he was the leader and you could 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.920 tell it's his intention and energy is like so kind 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.080 and sweet and fun and smiley. But he is also 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.120 never been told no in his whole life. So like 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.559 you could tell he reat wherever he was with this 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.559 dude that's in jail. That dude got his show run 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.400 by Rango, which. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.160 Was Commitment murder Y Ringo's the Box. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:11.520 Yeah, Rango was the bike. Rango's got street red and 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.680 now he's teddy. But yeah, so he has a lot 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.440 of training to be done. But he's such a sweet, 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.480 like kind boy too, Like he's got such a soft 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:29.520 side to him. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.920 I we were talking about this a little bit before, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.480 but I tell owners, it is so common that they 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.520 come to me and they have a new puppy and 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.880 the puppy is like eight, ten, twelve weeks old. They're like, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.600 it's so cute, it'd sleep so much. I have the 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.560 perfect puppy. They come back six months later and they're like, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.440 what have I done? This dog is a monster, like 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.040 I won't get me, help me, And I like, this 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.360 is very normal from months eight to twelve, maybe him 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.760 like eighteen, they're just on a tear. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.920 Yeah, you're exactly, And he wasn't you know, he just 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.280 wasn't the way so Nicki. The way Nikki kind of 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.080 explained it, She's like, for the for. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.480 The listeners, Nicki is the trainer that we had on 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.120 season two. She's actually coming back. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.560 Oh she's yeah, she's so good. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.040 She's amazing. People loved her. They were like, bring her back. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.400 Yeah, oh my gosh. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:16.920 The people the listeners know Nicki. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.400 Yeah. When she talks, I don't say. I'm just like yes, 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.320 like writing notes, just keep telling me. I think the 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.360 way she explains it is very helpful too, because it's 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.600 the psychology and then the action which is really helpful. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.840 But what she was saying was that like thin, imagine 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.680 like a human like I just dropped, like name a 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.240 random city in a country anywhere, Tokyo, Copenhagen, Okay, Copenhagen, Tokyo, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.560 wherever you put yourself there, and you're just like go 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.440 figure it out. You'd be like look, you know, you'd 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.640 be stimulating looking everywhere do I go? What's the currency? 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.360 What's the restaurant? Where do I stay? You just like 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.680 you don't know, ha ha, It's like that's your dog 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.960 right now. And imagine you know Tokyo, Copenhagen, and I 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.880 bring like the best a very good friend who knows everything. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.000 They speak dual languages, they know the spots in the restaurants. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.480 What are you gonna do. You're gonna let them lead 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.560 and then you're gonna follow their lead and then they're 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.760 gonna show you everywhere and you're gonna be safe and sound. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.000 This is what the dog needs, Like you have to 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.760 be the leader and these dogs love you. Most dogs 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.920 don't respect their owners, and you have to develop a 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.320 respect with your dog. And so we've gone through a 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.240 lot of like intense training, everything from create training to 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.560 opening the door letting him come out when he's told 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.400 to come out. But then it's like this constant re 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.520 establishing relevance, right, which is like, so he gets out 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.480 of the crate, Now we got to re establish relevance. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.280 Then we got to open the door, make sure he 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.440 doesn't go out of the door without being told. Then 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.840 the leash training, and there's been a lot of ups 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.320 and downs and challenges and lefts and rights. But the 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.080 biggest thing that we're working on is he's mouthy. And 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.000 I didn't realize that, like if a dog is like 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.000 what Nikki had said, if a dog is biting your 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.280 your leash. It's an extension of you. It's like they're 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.200 biting you. And if they're putting your fingers or hand 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.240 in their mouth in any capacity, even if it's like 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.120 playful and like they think it's a toy, like they're 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.120 not biting to hurt, but it's like like it's the 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.600 ultimate sign of disrespect, like they that doesn't happen. And 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.320 so he does that. And then he also his other 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.439 thing that he's what we're really working on, is cars 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.800 come by and he will rip after a car like 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.080 it's a moving toy. So which is a lot, right, 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.560 because the consequences of both of those actions, if not 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:25.120 appropriately handled, could be severe injury or death or where 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.600 whatever else could be from that. So those are like 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.520 two things we're taken like super seriously. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.399 That's so interesting. I love the analogy of going to 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.120 a new city being totally overstimulated and we are there. 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.960 It's so interesting because our first instinct is, Oh, I'm 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.000 just gonna love you, just going to love you through it, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.760 but they don't. They want your love, of course, and 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.399 I think there's like a balance, but we also have 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.520 to be their structure, right, which means we have to 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.960 set boundaries and we have to you know, be kind 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.880 of strict. And that is so I see owners struggle 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:54.159 with that. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.040 I struggle with that whole hard. I'm like, I don't know, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.879 it's good. It's got to be good raining for a 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.119 child because it is like say, like being like a 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.320 little tough on him, yes, and resetting boundaries and doing 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.479 things I know that are irritating him, but for his 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.920 best interest and mine, it's so hard. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.800 And when we have human children, Yeah, thank you, Nikki, 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:16.720 we are ready. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.200 Yes, thank you, Nikki. We appreciate it. Basic because he's mouth. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.800 The one thing that we're working on is like the figure. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.920 Eight, which is I don't know this, okay. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:30.199 So it's you take essentially you take the the the 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.080
