Stop my Puppy from Chewing? FAN FRIDAY #97

It's Fan Fri... Oakley, is it Fan Friday? Say, it's Fan Friday! What are you doing Shelby? First question we have today, comes from Debra. Debra wants to know, what's Fan Friday? I always forget that some of you are new to the channel. Some of you are new to our Facebook page. So, not everybody knows exactly what Fan Friday is. Fan Friday is basically, our Friday video. Where we answer questions from you guys. Show letters, pictures and packages that we receive in the mail. Basically, it's a way to stay connected and say thank you to you, the fans. For watching us and checking out what we do on a weekly basis. Right Shelby? Basically, that's what Fan Friday is. Fan Friday is about you guys. We answer questions, show stuff that you sent us and just kind of connect with you guys. Eva says, I know you had three dogs at once, but would you ever consider having four dogs? Or is three your magic number? Um... It would really just depend. Three's... You know, we're not limited to two. We're not limited to three. We're not limited to four. We have space for four. So, you never know. Someday, we may get four. It's a lot harder to travel with four dogs than it is two or three dogs. So, for right now, probably not going to have four dogs. But, you never know. You never know. A couple of you saw the bags of dog fur that we showed you. I think it was in the live feed video that we did. We have some bags of fur from Shelby, Oakley and Shiloh. Some of you wanted to know why we keep it and what we do with it. Um... There is a lady locally in town here that will spin it into yarn. We've always thought about having it done. We just haven't done it yet. So, for those of you who asked if we're going to have it spun into yarn. Eventually, we might end up doing that. Kyle says, I have a four month old Husky puppy who loves to chew on my furniture. What can I do? You can go to your local Tractor Supply or PetSmart or Petco or Pet Supply store. You can pick up this stuff that's called Bitter Apple Spray. You can spray it wherever the dog is chewing. Let's see if I can show you this. This is where Shelby chewed up my chair as a puppy. You can try that. Other people have said that if you take and put a little bit of lemon juice in a spray bottle of water and spray it on whatever they're chewing on, that will also deter them from chewing. So, these are a few things you can try to help stop the chewing. Adam says, My Husky is four months old and we are going to get her spayed soon. Should I wait until after her first heat cycle to spay her or should I do it before her first heat cycle? This is something you definitely want to talk to your vet about. Vets have different opinions on this. It's really up to your vet. We had Shelby spayed before her first heat cycle and we had Shiloh spayed after her first heat cycle. Some research shows that getting them spayed before gives them a decreased risk of getting mammary tumors. Some research shows that it doesn't. So, you know, the research is kind of all over the place on it. Personal opinion, I would say before. But again, that's just my personal opinion. Katie wants to know, How do I get my Husky Uno to stay still so I can brush him? If you can't tell, Shelby's looking kind of a bit shabby today. It's because she had a bath yesterday and I just finished brushing her for the first try. So you can kind of see in this up close video that we're not done, but she had had enough. When I brush Shelby, I actually put her in the bathtub with the two little suction cup things and I clip them to her collar. And I just stand in the bathroom and do it. The easiest way to do it is to have a grooming table, which I think Jamie's going to build me one. So we can show you guys how to build your own grooming table so you don't have to buy one. Other than that, to get them to hold still, you can have somebody help you by holding them. Or the grooming table, or like I said, I used the suction cup things in the bathtub and that kind of worked. But she got annoyed with me, so we didn't get to finish. In the mail today, we got a letter from Andy and a drawing of Oakley. Look, it looks just like you, Oakley! That's pretty cool. And we also got a letter from Scott with a coloring of Shelby and a cool Minecraft drawing. Minecraft on both letters and two cool drawings and it looks just like you, Shelby. I don't know, let me see. Sure looks like you to me. And we also got a wonderful letter from Kiara and I hope I said your name right, Kiara. Thanks for sending that! Thanks for sending all that stuff, you guys! What's up girls? Shelby's like, forget it, I'm done. I'm tired because you brushed me. Oh! Oakley, you want to lay down? There you go! Good job! Good job! That's all we have for Fan Friday today, you guys! Thanks for watching! Thanks for subscribing! I think Shelby's exhausted because I was trying to brush her. You can see, she's starting to blow her coat. Watch! Look at all the fur! We literally were just in the bathroom and I brushed her for a good... Oh, I don't know... Twenty minutes? So yeah! We're not done yet, Shelby! We're not done yet! Thanks for watching, you guys! We'll see you on Monday! Bye!
