This is either gonna be the best or the Worst decision i’ve ever made as a Youtube dog trainer in fact this is Gonna be the biggest twist we’ve ever Had in a youtube series [Music] Whoa That did not feel right this editing Software has been really glitchy lately Of course Jurassic world they must be sending me Upgraded boxes inertia there’s dinosaurs Coming our way what are we gonna do i Hope positive reinforcement training Works on these dinosaurs stay I can’t say they didn’t send me here Unprepared at least i can train them i Think we’ve just discovered super chewer Fossils they’ve got to be the toughest Fossils made out of dog toys i have ever Seen there must be ancient dna in this Mosquito only the toughest of dogs could Play with these oh no a nurse has made a Kill that’s a feisty one isn’t it Inertia I think we just caused the extinction of All the dinosaurs we can’t let this get Out it says here if you chew this that Bark will send us back to present day And they’re gonna send an asteroid to Cover up all of the evidence and you can Go to barkbox.com dog training or Superchewer.com Dog training to get a free bark box or a
Super chewer box when you sign up for a Multi-month subscription already there Show we need to get out of here while we Still can come on Things have just taken a turn In my dog training series getting an rv And seeing north america is something That i have always wanted to do i mean For years and years that And now finally i’ve gotten brie on Board that’s what the rig looks like Truck and trailer i know you want to see The inside this can convert into a bed There’s the kitchen Got you a tv Dvd player if you’re old awesome but i’m Starting to wonder have i really thought This through i mean we’ve got a brand New puppy plus i’ve got to make sure That my other dog inertia is going to Adjust to this lifestyle change i mean It’s not like we’re just going to go out For the weekend and have some fun i Don’t know if this trip is ever going to End so we’re at the dealership right now To make sure that our camper is ready to Go well i’m having new tires put on the Trailer right now so they’re going to Pull it around so i don’t have to back Up in this Difficult environment that’s how we look Now i’ve got a lot to do to get ready For this cross-country journey and brie Has a lot to do to keep veronica’s
Training on track too i’ve never towed Anything in my life much less a travel Trailer yeah so i need to go right now And learn everything there is to know About rv life while bree’s doing her Absolute best to get veronica to be a First-class adventurer I’m still working on every possible Circumstance we’re likely to encounter And what to do when it happens i’m sure There can’t be much to it Yes Smooth That looks locked to me and thankfully My awesome friends moses and keith were Able to tell me everything i needed to Know you are spoiled rotten already and I really need to give a shout out to Ashton at kim’s no bowl toyota in laurel Mississippi because these 22 toyotas Have been impossible to find if you’re Wondering what kind of trailer this is It’s called an intex soul horizon now i Looked at thousands of rvs but i like This one because it was small extremely Well made and should give us lots of Options for trending dogs in a variety Of different places i mean the thing is We want to be nimble right we don’t want To stay on the beaten path learning how To back up a travel trailer like this It’s got to be the easiest thing ever if You’ve never done it before right Seriously if you figure out how to do
This let me know yeah hopefully there Won’t be a single occasion where i Actually have to back up over the next 6 000 plus miles clearly we’re totally Totally prepared for this right now i’m Googling how to use this screwdriver i Know nothing now she’s eating her Instruction manuals we really need these Because we do not know what we’re doing Oh no Oh boy we’re in trouble hope that wasn’t An important piece Actually every piece of that instruction Manual is going to be a very important Piece The time has come to embark on this Journey for the foreseeable future this Truck And this trailer Is all we have to sustain us and look You know i’ve got to confess i mean We’ve gotten off to a decent start with Veronica she’s a smart girl but she is Not reliable enough she’s not trained Enough to exist in that trailer with us On this journey without a lot more Training so this is going to be Interesting we’re doing some last-minute Stuff in here getting it ready for Transport first stop we’ll be in Shreveport louisiana tonight and just Like that we’re leaving everything Behind and taking off on a journey that Will take over 6 000 miles to complete
Guys i don’t even know what to expect Tonight because inertia i’m not too Worried about veronica i’m not worried About any of it but how do you train a Dog when you have fewer options you Don’t have the option of them getting Out of your back door and into a fence Yard where they’re safe if they get out Of this door all bets are off and that’s What terrifies me so that’s going to be Way up on my early list of criteria stay At the door Without coming out i’m hoping over the Next several days to get into some type Of routine that the dogs can adapt to i Mean i don’t know about your dogs i know That our dogs are very much creatures of Routine they look forward to getting Their dinner at a certain time going to Bed at a certain time getting up at a Certain time and so on and we can try to Hold true to that to some degree but the Nature of rv life is that you know Things don’t really go to plan As much as you’d like so i’m hoping the Dogs adapt while also living in a really Small space with the dogs the dogs have Never lived in a small space like this i Mean oh no i’m hoping that we’re getting Out about getting the dogs plenty of Exercise and then hey we just come home To the trailer as a place to sleep have A trailer so that i can see some things Right that’s what we’re thinking here
Anyway so just trying to let you know Where my head is on this definitely the Most dynamic dog training series we’ve Made to date i think hey what’s going on What’d you get oh uh what corn dogs I see she’s starting off eating healthy Yeah i just can’t wait to see all of the Beautiful scenery that nature has to Offer i mean that’s what this journey is All about getting out seeing the world For what it actually is and all its Splendor and beauty man this first stop It’s gonna be epic we are in the parking Lot of dick’s sporting goods this is Where we’re staying for the night wait Breeze this is also a casino too oh and There’s an ihop Yeah there are a lot of establishments Out there that will let you stay in Parking lots overnight we’re grateful to Have this taking a potty break with Inertia veronica is next go pee Good girl i’m still working on teaching Veronica to go potty on cue all i’m Doing is saying go pee or go poop every Time she does it because i wanted to Know the difference i’m going to keep You posted on that one i predicted this The dogs do seem still quite thrown off By being in this tiny trailer even at Bedtime now she’s trying to steal our Food He’s not supposed to be up here you’re Crazy dog what are you doing you can’t
Just jump all over the place because We’re living in a trailer now yeah no no Oh my gosh What is happening she doesn’t do this When we’re at home she doesn’t try to Get on her lap while we eat dinner what Is this about she lays on her little bed I know she’s eating the puppy’s food Everything’s going to heck what do you Think girl I know bizarre oh my gosh Well Night okay good night Boy goodness I slept in my shirt and everything I was so tired last night marie said Veronica did really well we’ve decided That since we have such a small trailer That bree gets to claim half the space And i get to claim Half the space basically as our own Space so we’re out doing a potty break This morning we actually slept really Great so our next stop today we’re gonna Try and get to wichita kansas we’re Trying to get to colorado in a Reasonable amount of time and hopefully I can do some training with the dogs Today as well the thing about like rv Travel is you’re not trying to do like 800 miles in a day actually you should Never try to do 800 miles in a day Unless you’re like flying or something We’re really trying to do like 300 miles
Today maybe 330 which is a trek in an rv Because i think i’m topping out at like 57 miles an hour because i don’t want to Drive too fast this really begs the Question if you’re gonna do three four Days of travel having the dogs sleeping All through the day and then having them Sleep all through the night is not Necessarily realistic without them going Bananas so it’s really important that we Give them something to do which i don’t Know what we’re gonna do yet i’m hoping To at least give them a walk and some Training and seeing if they can become Satisfied mentally and physically and They really need like two good exercise Sessions per day but you know when You’re in a parking lot like this You want to be safe so you have to kind Of get creative it’s not the same Routine of like walking on the lake Behind our house every day that they’re So used to but that’s cool we welcome The challenge how’d it go for you great Did she sleep all through the night Once she slept yes go pee Good girl okay she can pee on pavement Oh she’s good at pavement she’s from the Desert What is it she just started smelling the Rv and she’s like what is that All right weird dog i think she’s Not really understanding why the heck We’re living in this for the foreseeable
Future Really honestly guys i haven’t yet Decided how long we’re gonna live in Here it might be forever for all i know Or it might be one more night can you Help Girl we have some noise going on outside And she started barking i couldn’t get To the camera quick enough i got to my Treats quick enough that’s true what do You think about that you’ve never had a Rabbit treat ever before you like it Is it worth doing something better than Barking what do we want to do you’re Trying to lure her into a sit but really She’s not as responsive to allure Remember because we discovered like she Yeah she kind of just goes into it all Right well i was really trying to lure Her into a down but i had to get through This set To get there so maybe just wait for the Sit next time and then lure because she Is responsive to the down too Yes well done young lady come on Yes i’m trying to get duration okay Watch this Okay oh She’s conflicted because she’s like Duration generally rewards me are you Sure why would i want to get up i’m not Going to get a treat so we want to let Her know okay means go ahead get up like Really i want you to and so throwing
That treat in front of her is a way to Really encourage a successful release on The first request that makes sense i Gave her way too big a treat by the way Yeah i know but i wanted to make the Point so no more training for you today Yeah right take a walk please i know i Was telling everyone outside how we need To exercise them this morning and we Need to exercise them this evening and We also have to get work done you need To get over here come on up it’s nothing Personal you’re just very hairy i’m Dirty she’s not dirty my angel could Never be dirty Oh my goodness you know i just thought Of something she never ate poop in her Life do not tell anyone that yeah i Wasn’t gonna i’ve been putting off her Bath because i want to do it right And train her with you i’m not doing a Bath today i mean she’s so dirty i don’t Know if she’s had a bath since mexico Like she’s got All kinds of dirt on her she smells Beautiful she does we have to really Conserve our fresh water tank which is Not completely full there so i think we Wait till we have unlimited water in a Few hours okay so many adventures Planned already wow watch out for these Ants local wildlife experience to avoid Good come around inertia is off leash Out here in an uncontrolled environment
There’s traffic behind us and everything I want to point something out to you Inertia is three years old i’ve been Working with her very consistently over The past three years of her life and This is not something that you want to Rush into it’s not about having an Off-leash dog as fast as you can it’s About being thorough and methodical and Detailed in your training so that They’re prepared for environments like This and i’m still really focused on Training inertia her obedience needs to Be better than ever with us being out Here in a new environment so i’m Constantly working on things like stay With distance Making sure that she thoroughly Understands that Good girl i like her focus on me and She’s allowed to chill too i mean right Now she’s kind of in break mode but stay Good girl Very good And Okay Give her a toss as a reward there if she Wants it That’s good you need a break you can Take a break Anderson we are so proud of you look at That Look at that beautiful face of yours That’s what i like to see i like to see
A nice good pants out of them like this Really shows that they’re likely Satisfied i’ll do a few rounds here i’m Not just gonna stop after five throws I’m gonna give her a five minute break And then i’ll continue to give her Another five or six throws and i’ll do That you know three or four times i Don’t know whatever we’re feeling and That should be enough to carry us to Tonight where hopefully i can give her a Walk maybe some more fetch and she’ll be Ready to have a good night’s sleep but We do have many more magnificent miles To cover before we get to our next Destination we’re in dallas the dogs are Being so good so it looks like inertia Is still quite satisfied mentally and Physically after that wonderful round of Frisbee this morning good we’re here but There is this one small thing i’ve gotta Find a way to get water and electricity And the sewer hookup done how hard could That be yeah apparently these real world Hookups can be shockingly dangerous so Wait what happened though i just felt a Little slight tinky yikes do i have any Idea what i’m actually doing Don’t answer that i’ll get you the Screwdriver Okay i’ve got the electrified water Situation Completely under control now Somehow okay i think our home is
Completely functional now now that the Biggest hurdle we’ll encounter on this Entire trip is complete we can start Enjoying ourselves all right we made it Hey inertia you look great We’re in henrietta texas this is our First ever campground right here there’s The truck i’ve unhitched successfully we Got electricity zach Unhitched and went to pick up sonic last Night we slept at bass pro shop which Was actually fine it was kind of awkward Like getting up in the morning and Letting the dogs out in the parking lot But anyway this will be better we’re Going to try to go straight to colorado Because of the weather because it’s too Hot also zach has his passport Appointment there so it makes sense to Get to colorado and then we’ll do rocky Mountains real quick for like a few days And then we’ll do Wyoming and montana and i’m really Excited about those because i’ve never Been there and i think it’s going to be Cool and then we’ll do canada and get up To alaska Now back to dog training it didn’t take Long for veronica to start noticing how Literally everything around her is Changing consistently and quickly over The course of this trip i’ve got to find Some way to get her barking under Control in this type of setting but
Remember teaching your dog how to not Bark when they want to bark which is a Totally natural behavior for dogs is More advanced than you might think it’s Not just an issue of hey be quiet and Don’t bark it’s like you’re telling your Dog hey don’t express your fear don’t Express your excitement or any other Emotion they’re having and my hope is You’ll see how we successfully address This Over the next few weeks oh will you look At that we found a wonderful place to Play some frisbee with the dogs while we Were on our walk from dog trainer’s Perspective having all of these dynamic Things go on in the background is a Wonderful thing we got people playing Baseball we have a train we’re in a Completely new place with lots of Different sights and smells i mean this Is priceless the thing is if you focus On training too much in one place it can Really hold you back because that means Other places are less familiar to your Dog and when things are less familiar to Your dog well they’re less likely to Comply with your requests and so that’s Why you’re always seeing us in these Videos getting out and going to lots of Different places to do our dog training And keep in mind you obviously don’t Have to go across the country to do this Type of training you can go across town
To a friend’s house or anywhere else Good job veronica good girl The fact that she does not know someone Called is becoming so apparent so we Need to work on come on call because she Doesn’t know it at all Let’s go come on Yay oh you just want to play frisbee man Veronica continues to be so interested In frisbee and to me that’s wonderful Well done Yeah Her drive her intensity her focus are All world-class you might be surprised I’m not though i love how she looks with A full-sized frisbee in her mouth Good girl There’s just learning how to be a big Sister and really our hope is that our Dog’s quality of life will increase Because of this trip letting him see and Experience new things and play with each Other in new places is hopefully bound To bring them closer together and make Their lives better Yep She’s trying to track it Hi thanks for bringing it oh you’re Bringing into a nurse oh to nobody okay Take a break Inertia go Around And i haven’t lost sight of our final Goal of actually getting veronica to
Make a catch whenever that happens and I’m sure it definitely won’t be today It’s going to be really exciting Did you see that yes Hi you did it veronica Look at you frisbee dog you were filming Uh-huh wow yeah Good girl i know she’s like oh boy Somebody did something good Inertia she caught her first frisbee It was a like in a baseball field proper Frisbee catch look at that Good girl She saw her sister do it and she was Like me too does anyone else do this Though like at the end of the day do you Have a conversation with your dog where You tell them how amazing they are and Remind them of all the wonderful things They did that day and then i said go Then she went and she jumped and she Caught the prison you caught the frisbee Inertia it was so good You did really well today do you want Her out there or not yeah Nice friends You guys are very sweet we’re almost to Colorado two more days we’re almost to Somewhere and who knows where we’re Going i think that’s basically what You’re saying yeah basically i really Don’t know where we’re going next There’s a lot i don’t know right now Will we ever get veronica’s barking
