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 …

Will we get any more dog basics vids? They are very relevant and interesting to me! I’ve been a subscriber for only a short while now but TNP is one of the most amazing youtube channels I’ve come across. Thanks for your videos!

@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

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?”

I would definitely like to see more dog training videos, very cool. Also it would be cool to see an exhibition, if you will, of allies skill set and training. Love all the videos nutn, you and the tnp are an indispensable resource of knowledge and character. I know it has to be a lot of work and you probably hear this all the time but all the work and the quality videos are very well appreciated. Keep doing what your doing, thanks much my friend.

Nice video. I agree with everything you stated so far. My dog is the closest thing my wife and I have to a son. He was the ring bearer in our wedding. Hope you do more on this subject.

There is no such thing as a bad, or evil animal, there are only bad people.

I know it sounds dumb but you can tell the quality of a man by how he treats his dog….. and you can tell how he treats his dog by how his dog treats him, because dogs dont care that people are arround

Rating is deactivated…
I would give 5* and I don’t think that somebody would rate less than 4* because your speaking the complete truth and anybody who’s watching this video knows that I think…

It is a sad fact of life that many animals suffer abuse of some kind during their lives. Abuse can take the form of physical assaults or punishment – but many suffer from the silent abuse of neglect. please support abused pets by visiting

Well, its still “in his head”, but it sounded like exactly what you are talking about…taking Allie out on a backpacking hike. I will pass your ideas along to him..I think you guys are both on the same page. — Veri

Thats great to hear, I know hes a busy guy. It would be nice if he discusses training basics for taking dogs into the deep bush. I haven’t before, but I plan to this year and would like to get some safety tips when it comes to ensuring your dog acts properly when faced with bears, snakes or any other hazards out there. Last thing I want is my dog agitating a bear!!! Keep up the great work, one of the best advisors on here!

Nutn knows he has viewers (like me!) patiently waiting for more dog videos and told me the other night that he’s going to crank it up again. — Veri

Good training is, indeed, important. My bud’s dog is thankfully small but he’s way too rowdy and carefree. I’m not surprised ’cause he takes after his owner. Lots of love but not enough training!
Sweet vid dude, don’t quite see any more of the type yet but maybe I’m just not there right now. On to more, then.
