Bulldog Training Session | In Kennel Obedience Training Example

Join Uncle Stonnie for a fun dog training session with Boone, a fun little Bulldog puppy. If you want to be specific Boone is actually what is commonly referred to as an Olde English Double Bully because he's a cross between and English Bulldog and an American Bulldog. He's quite the character, that's for sure!
We are far from experts on the various Bulldog crosses so feel free to share what you know in the comments section!

Most dog trainers wouldn't dare put up a video where the dog isn't behaving perfectly. This takes such confidence and competence to do. Your videos are inspiring because they're not all about you and how great you are, but they're about the dogs, and they're about us the audience! and how we can adopt your methods and mindset to become better trainers for our dogs. Really well done Stonnie, you're in a category of one when it comes to dog trainers on the internet.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

I've owned 3 English Bulldogs, and you nailed it as far as their personalities goes. Took each of them through dog obedience training and like you said, they do thinks at their own speed. When teaching them how to retrieve a bone, the instructor had a 4x8 sheet of plywood with several bones tied down and the one with our sent on one that wasn't tied down. Said the dog would get used to learning the one that could be retrieved had our sent. Well the bulldog would grab a tied down one, get off the 4x8 plywood and drag the plywood and bone over to you. He decided which one he wanted. We realized the ties were too long and had to keep them short enough so he couldn't drag the plywood.

[@paulbrice9113]

This was very encouraging. I have a 10 week old Victorian Bulldog and am finding out that everything people say about bulldogs being stubborn is absolutely 100% true. And I absolutely LOVE the challenge.

[@eleanormoddison4864]

One of your cutest videos. Thank you for the laughs.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you for watching!

[@iainbaker2742]

Having a bully, i can confirm the struggle is real🤣🤣

[@SmithShooter9mm]

Stonnie, that was one of the funniest videos you have ever shared. Boone is such a big sweetie. Thank you so much!

[@vernonhall9262]

Absolutely love that dog Just chillin an enjoyin the day🤣🤣 Let me roll n the grass first

[@PatBloomfield]

We recent got a Leavitt Bulldog puppy so I loved watching you working with Boon 😄. I hope you’ll share more videos featuring him.

[@MB-lf8rm]

11:36 -- That's my dog, right there. She's 18-months old and she does that on every walk through town, whenever we come across a lawn.

[@jennylynne4414]

Sometimes, a video comes out and it seems like it was well planned, just for me! This is one of those times! I'm not using my long line as well as I could be. Thanks Uncle Stonnie! I always learn so much from you!

[@StonnieDennis]

You are very welcome. Long lines are tricky to master!

[@junipertree2601]

exactly what i was looking for - i have an active little brute of an American Bulldog. She's...precious

[@dgbsea4140]

That property looks incredible. Lawns look immaculate

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

[@johnjrkean7008]

I've owned dogs my whole life but this month my family and I are getting our very first english bulldog .....iam sure its gonna be a interesting fun ride lol

[@joanyoung790]

Nothing helps get through a bout of covid than binging your videos. and today i had a bonus with “ Boone “. We have bullies - pitties, alapaha ‘s , and american. You reminded me that it’s ok to not to have an obedience ring pet that still can be the best they can be. Also the German shepherd pup that’s fearful - we are dealing with a blue pit now that is showing all the same signs. but working through it - exactly as you suggest. THANK YOU ! something positive came out of being under the weather.

[@StonnieDennis]

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!!

[@mackgmoney1515]

Hes so beautifully hard headed😅

[@dkreptilesLLC]

Love stonnies methods don't have the equipment he has but I find walking and hiking gives the same effect with my staffy. Something goes bad we go back to basics.

[@StonnieDennis]

You don’t need any equipment, I just have all that stuff because I have to do a ton of dogs every day and the equipment allows me to build basic skills before I take the dogs on adventures. With only one dog your whole training regimen should be built around getting out in the real world and going on puppy sized adventures!

[@macabeal8887]

Great video! Thanks for a lesson with the long line!

[@adamw4469]

Stonnie this was great! We love watching you walk dogs through the course and do off leash adventures but showing how you work on core exercises e.g. recall really translates to the average dog owner. Thanks for all you do!

[@christineanderson3193]

Great video. Love how you enjoy your work and show kindness and understanding to all breeds. Boone is adorable.

[@lindaszymkiewicz5109]

"Boone Time All the Time" -Ha! Love it. Thanks for the fun video. Btw Stonnie, your yard looks beautiful.

[@johnkelly4043]

Stoney. Love this vid. Great to see your personality and humor when your training. Clearly easy with this big boy. Great vid and great job with him of course. The owners are lucky to have you.

[@theresaw1117]

You have your work cut out for you! But he is so 😍 The long line is a must!

[@simonsimple666]

thanks Stonie 👍.I like your style and you reminded me to above all have fun with my pup.the fun aspect has made it easier to bond and work with my pup.

[@TheKanglor]

Really enjoyed the video, Boone sure is a character, don't see anyone couldn't just love his face lol. Very good info to learn as well, especially for folks working with dogs that aren't super handler engaged, at least right off the bat.

[@bethabernathy6135]

What a a sweetheart.....❤

[@trishmorton2035]

I needed this video today. Thank you.

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

Such a beautiful PROPER bulldog

[@MB-lf8rm]

What kind of bulldog is that? Old English Bulldog? Olde English Bulldog, American Bulldog? or . . . . ?

[@JoshSampson-cp6go]

Olde English

[@pcad2610]

Lol where were you when I got my American bulldog? She was a year old, accidentally pregnant and not sure she'd been treated 100% right her early life. Literally would take her out on a leash to go to the bathroom and she wouldn't go. We would walk and walk until she got tired of it then she would lay down and refuse to walk. I'd just drag her across the grass lol. With her, it was a trust thing. Bulldogs are stubborn and they have to trust you to listen. Calm is better with bulldogs

[@brianlocal3]

I love this video

[@c1gar]

Really interesting episode, to see a stubborn dog with stonnie! ❤

[@maxistrap4492]

Thanks for featuring and OLDE. Great video!

This made me laugh! What a good dawg

All short hair dogs are funny stubborn like this .good job Uncle Stonnie 🙃😊

Boone is darling!

[@cowwhisperer]

He reminds me of my American Bully

[@alexandradittmann8588]

Wow, what a beautiful Bulldog - and one I didn't know even existed, until today - the Olde English Double Bully. Nice, especially in that, what is it called, lilac-tri? coloring. What a treat to start the day with yet another nice Uncle Stonnie video like this, THANK YOU!

[@HomesByPatrick]

Great video Stonnie, Boone has a low center of gravity and is like a bowling ball. He is also in a different head space than a GSD or a Lab.

[@fkrr5]

Sharp looking bulldog

[@alexanderapuang1689]

Great videos! Can we see a hike/adventure videos with your trainee poodles? I know the perception with them but they are gundogs too. Want to see how they do with your labs.

[@jamieoliver3262]

Gotta love the bulldogs bull terriers especially not for everyone but my boys so sweet and loving with people does have issues with other male's as he's intact which has caused the odd issue when girlfriend walks him but as a family member he is an absolute darling nice to see uncle do bulldogs ❤

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

🇮🇪 brilliant upload excellent sharing very good video sharing

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

[@cartermw]

I would like to see Stonnie do a video like this with a Boston Terrier! Perhaps Stonnie could take the Boston on adventure training too.

[@swpost3]

I’ve got a Bulldog that’s half frenchie half English. This dude got real good at stopping but will have a standoff with me about coming back every time. He stares at me for an awkwardly long amount of time. Like he’s letting me know it’s his choice. It’s hilarious now because I know he’s coming it’s just a matter of when.

[@TheWorkingAussie]

A bulldog that isn't obese! Boone is a character! I don't think I could ever own a dog like Boone, I like more handler oriented dogs.

[@MZinHI]

My American Bully is super handler focused...until he sees another dog,...or another person, ...or a cat,...or a leaf blowing down the sidewalk, ...or smells the 1/2 a plate lunch tossed out on the curb strip a block up and across the street. 😉🤣

[@Nil-tz6gy]

Cant blame the darling for not wanting to get in water - a lot of them sink like a rock in water! Little fella taking zero chances

[@ocho575]

Where can I get bulldog like that one? Love how he looks. They are hard to find

[@rottenwings]

Bulldogs are fun, once you know how to get em motivated :)

[@jennifernaylor7535]

Ultimate challenge getting bullies off the couch 😅 I have an Olde English Bulldogge and out of my dogs litter one became service dog for legally blind woman, the rest were just tons of fun.

[@apolloswrld]

Apollo needs subscribers 🎉❤🎉

[@susanchapman4140]

Have you ever worked with a Boxer? Boon is adorable, had me laughing and realizing that my Boxer's attention span is something like a Bulldog. It would have been so hard to keep her attention if she would see the cameraman or the people working near by. Good Job !

[@pcad2610]

Because boxers are in fact bulldogs lol. They are all like this

[@ciscohour5884]

My bulldog won’t even walk off the back deck unless he has to go to the bathroom 😅

[@darkfafnir4389]

That's a real bulldog is nose his legs body shape...he is beautiful 😍

[@tammijaje6959]

How do I get ahold of you Stonnie?

[@ecgodsmack86]

Their just like humans, very emotional and definitely stubborn

[@MB-lf8rm]

I think a bulldog is a type of terrier. And one of the top three characteristics of terriers is stubbornness. Terriers are stubborn. (Which, actually, sometimes, can be a good thing.)

[@yasinakpinar7948]

Scott or Johnson?

[@RobertR1200rt]

That's a good looking bull. Just like people some are better than others. I had a female one of the smartest dogs I've had very trainable.

[@tonythomas-cb3bn]

How old is he in this video?

[@MB-lf8rm]

Stonnie, how do you prevent the "yo-yo effect" from developing ?

[@dorkatomankova5132]

Once the gets to you, increase the level of engagement. You can use food or toy rewards and reward your dog for looking at you and engaging with you. Also use variable amount of reinfircement to keep yourself less predictable. If your dog never knows when the rewards stop he will stick around longer just in case. If you always give one treat or play one little game of tug, they will soon figure out that they have a moment to spare until the next cue and reward comes their way and check out on you. Once you have a solid engagement from your dog you should be able to teach him to disengage from you on a cue. Good luck with your pup

[@RatdogDRB]

LOL... Being young like that... looks like Boone could give a goldfish a run for its money in the old "Attention Span" department. "Him's a GOOD boy, though."

[@HoodiiSzn]

What kind of bulldog is he?

[@NA-su3jk]

If he is the sort of American bulldog i imagine, that puppy will be a brick house in a year. When should owners start teaching loose leash walking and not pulling, please? As u showed, he loves to just get going... Do you teach loose leash / no pulling walks before or after - or same time as - the recall work? How old is he here by the way? Thank u!

[@StonnieDennis]

All owners are always trying to encourage loose leash walking, no? Did you notice what percentage of the time the Leah was slack during the video?

[@NA-su3jk]

Yes, i noticed that. But my questions stand if u feel like replying some more? Its ok not mad at you.... otherwise i am left to assume its not important to focus on loose leash walking, but to just encourage it while teaching other things? It may be more complicated, depends on the dog, whatever... but these were my sincere questions above, esp for a powerful willful breed.... cause uknow he will pull like the dickens if left to own preferences.

[@zoeen5650]

@@NA-su3jk when Stonnie does his small challenges course it's simultaneously encouraging loose leash, handler awareness and pace control. He has mentioned it in other videos where he's encouraging the dog to be aware of his speed and changes his pace up so the dog has to speed up or slow down on the course to stay next to him. Boone doesn't look like he stable enough and has enough self awareness to be confident on all the obstacles so I imagine Stonnie won't introduce dramatic pace changes or expect too much handler awareness until the pup is completing the course confidently. But just through repetition and shared activities that awareness will be growing naturally.

[@NA-su3jk]

@@zoeen5650 thank you for the note and for helping out Stonnie w his social media game.

[@zoeen5650]

@@NA-su3jk very welcome 😊 And to be fair if I had a bunch of gorgeous puppies and a property like that my social media game would be non-existent! 😅

i think your whistle made me deaf

[@smbchc]

I'll probably never understand the use of clicker. I mean I know the theory but it doesn't make much sense to me, "good boy" does the job as a marker, dog is already waiting for the treat when he hears it.

[@StonnieDennis]

It’s one of those things where you just have to try it for yourself to really understand. From a utility per unit of labor invested standpoint the clicker wins every time. Spoken words cannot match the effectiveness of a noise generator in terms of consistently relaying information in a clear and consistent manner.

[@Mitch_Ryder]

🤣

[@andyguss1861]

It doesn't seem like you do many videos without a bunch of other dogs running around while you work on this basic stuff. Is the bull dog too distractable?

[@StonnieDennis]

That’s a video from my online course. A lot of my instructional videos are just me and one or two dogs because that’s a little more realistic for people who don’t have access to a facility like mine.

[@keithfaulk1354]

Stop calling the dog .. dude. !! Call him by his name if he has one…. I hate that word !!

[@StonnieDennis]

Out of the whole video, all you could come up with is a complaint about what I call the dog? People like you drive good content creators away from social media, which is why KZbin has been taken over by shills and snake oil salesmen.

[@keithfaulk1354]

@@StonnieDennis I wasn’t complaining !! Just saying that dude is not a respectable word to use on dogs or people

[@ToddDouglasFox]

@@keithfaulk1354 I agree. Think of this guy’s actual name “Stonnie”. Just saying that sometimes we have to consider how other’s view things. He sees nothing wrong with “dude” or “Stonnie”. Personally I wouldn’t call anyone either. I think he was quite harsh on you that you are driving creators away from social media, an over exaggeration. Everyone does need to consider the other’s point of view though. This entire video hit a lot of nerves because he didn’t have enough info on the case he was discussing even though he was using it as a spring board to discuss dogs “turning” and as I said in my main comment, he did not even mention dogs fighting one another leading to attacking humans in those moments. Humans cannot reach into dogs if they are fighting. As far as I can find there is nothing more on this event that has been publicly shared. This is not a good sign as people need to be open about a dog killing a human. Oh, and as a consideration on dude, many men love the term “dude ranch”, it’s just another perspective.
