00:00This is Louie. He's an extremely terrified dog we rescued less than a week ago and today we're going to

00:06attempt to build his confidence.

00:08This is not going to be easy, but first we need to begin our day picking up poo.

00:14Let's be honest, nobody wants to see us do this. We don't want to do it, but it has to

00:18be done.

00:19So let's go to feeding the dogs all of their breakfast.

00:22Let's feed the dogs food, speed run edition.

00:25Ivy in the crate, Zaza in the crate, Becca here without a cone.

00:29Kobe and Moki in the kitchen, yes. Louie outside, Kaya, Bruno, and last but not least, Jockey.

00:35And that is how you speed run feeding nine dogs in the morning.

00:39And we took Becca's cone off for the morning routine.

00:43So unfortunately it has to go back on her.

00:46Luckily it's quite easy to put the cone on Becca because she's very treat motivated.

00:53Well done.

00:54And we also clean her paw every single morning because her bandage is off.

00:58So if you didn't know, Becca needs one of her toes amputated because of a previous trauma.

01:05She had a biopsy done.

01:06And so this is why she's got like a scab on her toe that needs cleaning.

01:11And so we have to put it in salt water every single morning.

01:15Well, not every morning.

01:17And a lot of times during the day, basically just to clean it.

01:20But what's really good with Becca is she kind of just like adapts to everything.

01:24And so like you can see now her paw is literally completely submerged in water.

01:28As long as we give her a treat, she's fine.

01:30It's all right.

01:30Now Becca is all good for the day.

01:32It's time for Louie to have his first ever training session.

01:36So we're doing the same confidence building game we have done with our other terrified rescue Jockey.

01:42We've got both the scared dogs in here in hope that Jockey can help show Louie what to do.

01:47Unfortunately, Louie is a bit more terrified than Jockey first was and he did not want to move from his

01:53spot.

01:54Dilnaz didn't want to force him to do anything.

01:56Even just watching and being in the same room as all of us is a good start.

02:01But the one dog that surprised us most is Jockey.

02:04She has come on leaps and bounds over the past two weeks and she is really starting to grow in

02:10confidence.

02:11So Louie is clearly quite uncomfortable.

02:13So we brought in Zaza to see if it helps him build up any confidence.

02:18His little face is so cute.

02:20You can see he's still unsure.

02:22So we decided to call it there.

02:23Even just watching dogs interact with the game is going to be good for him.

02:27We had like 10 minutes left of the session.

02:30So we thought why not bring in a crowd favorite Bruno for some training.

02:34So we have got Bruno to do some free work.

02:37Oh good boy.

02:38Hello.

02:39Just to see how he gets on.

02:41Good boy.

02:42Go on then.

02:43Straight into it.

02:44Wow.

02:46Let's see if he will move any of the balls.

02:50Oh nice.

02:52The noise didn't scare him.

02:53That's good.

02:53He's a little bit unsure.

02:54See his back leg?

02:56Yeah.

02:56So he's a little bit unsure.

02:57But not to the point where he's like going I'm checking out.

03:02Right.

03:02So he's actually showing nice little bit of resilience and problem solving.

03:07He might chew on it and that's okay.

03:08That's a bit of play coming out.

03:10Nice.

03:11Oh it's stuck in his mouth.

03:15You okay then Bruno?

03:16Oh is it stuck?

03:18Yeah.

03:19Okay.

03:22He's like no I wanted that.

03:24How funny that he really likes the cone.

03:26Yeah.

03:27Oh back to the trees.

03:29Oh good boy.

03:31That's what I was hoping he would do.

03:33Oh was there a tree under the bone?

03:33So it shows he can problem solve.

03:36Yeah.

03:37Right?

03:37This is probably so great.

03:39Yes.

03:39And this is what I was saying to JJ earlier.

03:41This is a really nice way of teaching developing confidence but with no pressure.

03:46Yeah.

03:47He just does it at his own time he works at his pace not our pace.

03:51Because often in training we can make the error and behavior we can make the error of trying

03:55to push the dog's schedule to our schedule rather than allowing them time to process it how they want

04:02to process it when they want to process it and that's often the danger we just push them too far

04:08too fast.

04:09Yeah it's loving this.

04:10He is.

04:11And all this sniffing you can hear him doing.

04:13Brilliant.

04:13So Bruno's training session is done but later on in the video Ivy has a meet and greet with two

04:20adorable pugs and she may be going to her forever family.

04:24One thing that is really great about Louis is that he's actually coming inside to sleep here

04:29more and more which shows that he's just looking for some comfort.

04:33Really happy with that.

04:35He's doing good just a bit wary of Dylan as she's a new person which is completely understandable.

04:39So Louis has obviously done his first training session and it was a lot for him bless him

04:45and we have been asking on our social media whether we should change his name to Spud or Bagel.

04:51Oh you're blocking Louis.

04:53The reason why is because we found that if we give the dogs like a really cute name I love

04:58how by the

04:59way I love how all the dogs are like Zaza are like posing here as if like it's for something.

05:04Anyway the reason why we wanted to change his name is because we found that if we give the dogs

05:07like

05:07a really cute name they're more likely to get adopted and we'd probably say the majority of

05:12their votes are for Bagel.

05:15So Louis's new name is Bagel.

05:18By the way can we just appreciate how cute Bruno is.

05:22I mean look at him he's like falling onto my knee.

05:25You're the cutest boy.

05:27He loves fuss and attention.

05:30Loves it bless him.

05:31So the entire reason we're doing this series is because we're fundraising for Happy Shelter where

05:36pretty much all of these dogs came from.

05:38Now if you can't afford to donate you can simply click that subscribe button and we'll donate a penny.

05:43You can follow us on Instagram we'll be posting every single day on there and that'll donate another

05:48penny and you can donate a third penny by adding us on Snapchat.

05:51I have had a look and since the series started we have gained 28 000 followers across all social

05:59platforms which means so far we'll be donating 280 pounds which isn't enough.

06:05So here's what I'm going to do for you guys.

06:07Whatever we end up donating at the end of the series.

06:10So let's say we gain 50 000 followers it'll be 500 pounds.

06:14We're going to double it to a thousand pounds for donations.

06:18So get following, get subscribing, get adding to be able to donate without actually spending any money.

06:24Moki leave Kobe alone.

06:26Now let's go to Happy Shelter where we can show you one of the most terrified rescues we've ever seen.

06:32So this is Bucky trying to move very slowly right now.

06:39He is from at this point the infamous kill shelter where dogs have had to fight each other for food,

06:47water, got abused by people and unfortunately you can see that it's taken its toll.

06:54He's terrified.

06:55So obviously I'm not going to go anywhere near him but it's really sad to see

06:59because I'm sure this isn't actually his personality.

07:02He looks like he looks like he wants to be such a good boy but it's really sad.

07:08And him and his little friend here

07:12She's like don't look at me.

07:13Came from the same shelter so this is probably why they're in the same place in the same

07:16little caged area.

07:18Not sure how old he is

07:20but he kind of just stays in here the whole time.

07:22I'm just super super scared of people.

07:25And it's sad but what is nice is the fact that Happy Shelter took him in

07:29and he's living a much better life here.

07:31At least he gets fed, gets water and just gets to be left alone.

07:35Which is from the sounds of things a lot less than what was happening in the other shelter he was

07:40at.

07:41Sorry a lot more, not less.

07:43He's getting a lot more here in the other shelter than he was at.

07:45Donations for Happy Shelter will help to keep socialising these dogs

07:51because obviously we have volunteers come and help out.

07:55They also help with their food, blankets, toys, stimulation, fresh water, sanitary products,

08:03first aid for the dogs.

08:04He's being brave, look at him.

08:06He is, he's being brave boy.

08:07He's like help me, the humans are in my space.

08:11So we are walking Ivy to meet Began and Simon.

08:15Hello girl.

08:16And they're two pugs, two pugs right?

08:18Yes, two pugs.

08:19And they're two pugs.

08:20So I'm going to go ahead and make an assumption here that she's going to be a little nervous.

08:25Look at that.

08:25Her ears are already propped up.

08:27She's like, come on, go.

08:28Good girl.

08:32Yes, good girl.

08:34You're very brave.

08:35Well done.

08:37Good girl.

08:40Yeah, she's cautious.

08:41Once she gets her confidence after a day or two, she's all right.

08:45Yeah, yeah.

08:46Yeah, she is crazy.

08:48Is she the eight year old?

08:50Yeah.

08:50Oh my God.

08:53She's eight going on two.

08:54Isn't that crazy?

08:54Oh, this is good.

08:55Isn't that crazy?

08:56Oh wow.

08:57Hello crazy.

08:58It's all right.

08:59I want to play, I want to play.

09:01Yeah.

09:01Oh.

09:05Oh, you are done.

09:07I cannot believe she's eight.

09:09Yeah, she is.

09:10Yeah, she's a big girl.

09:12Everyone thinks she's a boy because she's so big.

09:15Oh, I would love that.

09:20Good girl.

09:21Oh, that's good.

09:21She's got a little sniff there.

09:23Sure.

09:23Yeah.

09:24Yeah, he's really good.

09:24She might not be sniffing.

09:25Oh, big girl, you're going to go.

09:27Oh, I'm loving this one.

09:29Yeah, we do, we do.

09:30But don't worry, I'll always be like,

09:32hello guys, please, can you send some pictures?

09:34Ivy girl, it's time.

09:36Oh, be a good girly.

09:40Guys, thanks for coming all this way.

09:42Yeah, thank you so much.

09:43Nice to meet you.

09:44Yeah, you're going to come without us.

09:46I'm just kind of tired now.

09:48So now Ivy is on her way to her forever home.

09:51Let's check in on donations.

09:53So let's see where we are at.

09:56Go on, leave Becca alone.

09:56She's poorly.

10:00We did it.

10:01We did it.

10:02Marky, we did it.

10:03Oh, let me not get too excited.

10:04Sorry, because all the other dogs are going to get scared.

10:06Well, we're at £30,878.

10:11That is insane.

10:13Oh my God, you guys are crazy.

10:17So we've got a whole bunch of new top donors.

10:21We've got Francois again.

10:22So she's donated like over £1,500 in total.

10:27That is insane.

10:28Thank you so much.

10:29Please reach out to us on Instagram.

10:30We'd love to send you a personal video.

10:32We've got RJ Jesus with £1,000.

10:35We've got Bernard with £400.

10:38Michael with £300.

10:39Like this is crazy.

10:41And then when we look at our more recent donations,

10:43we've got Lydia with £43.

10:46We've got Michael with £300.

10:47Alice with £5.

10:49Sky Gay with £50.

10:51I don't know how you pronounce that.

10:52Just wow.

10:53Like I cannot believe that we've actually done this.

10:56And we're only like,

10:57so we've still got like another two weeks left to go in the series.

11:00Thank you guys so much to everybody that has donated.

11:02Like honestly, like I'm in shock that we've actually hit this already,

11:05but we're going to keep going.

11:07We're going to continue.

11:08So now that we've hit £30,000,

11:11we have booked to take all of these dogs to a enclosed field.

11:16Like we cannot wait for that.

11:18They're going to have the best time.

11:19That video will come out on Tuesday because we had to get a bit of time,

11:24you know, to get organising for transport,

11:25being able to book the slot, et cetera, et cetera.

11:28And we have now got a new goal of £40,000.

11:32If we're able to hit £40,000, we're going to create something like this.

11:37We're going to hang up like a huge canvas with 10 dogs on there,

11:42all in silhouettes and every single donor's name is going to be on there.

11:45If you've donated more, then your name is going to be a little larger.

11:49But even if you've only donated a small amount,

11:51you're still going to be on there.

11:53Every single person that has made this come true is going to be on that picture frame.

11:58And we're going to hang it right in our lounge.

12:00So that basically every single future Golden Kirby family video,

12:04you guys are going to be in it.

12:05We thought it was just like a really cool, nice incentive,

12:08something really heartfelt that we can basically frame in our home.

12:11You guys are all going to be a part of it and it's going to be with us forever.

12:16So can we hit our next target of £40,000?

12:20I'll leave that up to you guys.

12:23So to celebrate hitting £30,000 on Sunday,

12:27we're going to have a little party on our live stream with all the dogs.

12:30So come and join us.

12:31That will be at 6pm UK time, which is 1pm Eastern time.

12:36And we'll see you guys on Monday.
