Common Sense Puppy Training Part One

[@virgo2716]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@vy4648]

I watched hundreds of dog training videos and most are just selling their services. But this one is teaching you real stuff. Two thumbs up.

[@laurenml1222]

Stonnie is the real deal!

[@WiZ111112]

@larry andrews he rations their food. 50% in meals, the other 50% as treat

[@WiZ111112]

@larry andrews why's that?

[@risingabovetheoccasion]

One of the most thorough and no bullshit trainers I've seen. No excessive jargon or unnecessary shit. Straight practical training advice. Love it

[@thedoggieinnlisaannestella3478]

ABSLOLUTELY

[@olk3]

I took Stonnie’s online class two years ago, and learned so much, even after decades of dog ownership. People regularly comment on how well-behaved my dog is. We’ve since added a puppy, who has learned everything from the first dog, with very little effort on my part. Stonnie is a dog genius. So glad I found him.

[@miathemalinoisgsdx1320]

I dont need anyone to tell me how smart, how obedient, how friendly, how confident, how non reactive, stable, focused and talented my dog is. If you've seen any of her pup videos on KZbin you will know what I mean. I have taught her most of the stuff she does my self with some help as a pup/pupster from a local working dog trainer. But hand on heart, watching all of Stonnies pup vids before we even got her is what cast the solid foundations for the the solid dog she grew into.

Kudos from Mexico. Looking forward to supporting your channel by being a faithful follower and clicking on the Ads.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks so much, don't worry about clicking on the ads. KZbin isn't really paying anything right now, anyway. I just accepted the advertising, because without it KZbin doesn't put one's videos into the search algorithms or whatever. Enjoy!

[@chrislandaverdedf]

Well, whatever it takes for your content to be out there and be seen by the world. We need stuff like this. Your whole philosophy can be applied to so many things it goes beyond dog training. Quick question: what would you say is the earliest you can effectively begin to train a puppy?

Stonnie, I love how genuine you are! ❤️ I’ve been a new subscriber and student of yours for only 3wks and our newly adopted 7mo old German Shepard has come a long way because of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️ from Colorado! 😎✌🏽🐶❤️🙏🏾

[@SylvieGrimalkin]

I have a blue cattle dog cross kelpie puppy that I got last Saturday and have been having problems with teething and toilet training. I've tried all other techniques including the Cesar Milan ones. I've been doing this technique for only 24 hours and she's a new dog. Thank you so much! She's no longer chewing us and she hasn't had an accident inside so far. She's not jumping or even being hyper. You are amazing.

[@knots9119]

This is such a needed video, we're on week 3 with our 6 month rescue, pitbull mutt and he's been doing pretty well. A lot of play nipping and crazy eyes when being pet, will start being stricter with his diet (2.5 cups a day) and rewarding him with treats when he's calm. Thank you!

[@thedoggieinnlisaannestella3478]

Gold mine of information as always Thank you Stonnie!

[@stephensolomon2050]

I want to add, Stonie, that your training method seems like so much more fun than most of the other methods we see on KZbin, both for the owner and the dog.

[@88korky]

Some people just want the world to be a better place. Stonnie is one of those people.

[@justdawndb]

THIS! 👏👏👏

[@Nick-jr6qe]

I'm surprised you don't have a million subscribers stonnie. I think there's more than one way to train a dog but I really enjoy yours and I find your videos informative and equally entertaining

[@carenhall2066]

I'm surprised at this too. My dog's a hunting breed, so he needs lots of exercise. I'm gonna grab a training line and take him to a park tomorrow, he really needs to explore a bit.

[@matslund2154]

youre surprised because you idiots are as stupid as the 99 percent of dogpeople who seem to like it when dogs get diabetes and probably dies rom it aswell because you cant stop giving them candy everytime they do something good instead of praising them or play with a toy and tell them theyve done a good job

[@Majorbrownfinger]

@@matslund2154 give them candy. What are you talking about. Did you not hear the part where he said the treats are 50% of the dogs rations. Everything is measured and accounted for. Stonnie isn't condoning over feeding. You need to listen better.

[@matslund2154]

@@Majorbrownfinger stupid! i meant you dont give treats everytime the dog does something good, you dont need that imshit, imagine youre kid getting candy all the time he gets an a, he will be fat and have diabetes before hes 15 and itll be your fault, why be so stupid with your dog when you can just pet them and say they done a good job or use a toy, theres so many things that can be used as positive reinforcement, for example your dog likes to rush outside the door, if you get your dog to sit and wait til you tell it to follow you, you, letting the dog go pee will be positive reinforcement, use common sense, dont learn the dog ro get excited around food

[@bryceworthy5803]

@@matslund2154 you sir have missed the point.......

[@oceanhaven6443]

Thank you Stonnie!!! Your videos are great. My family and I are getting a lab puppy in about a month. We sit down together each night and watch a couple videos together. The kids always look forward to it. You make training look fun and manageable. Can't wait to watch more videos and for our puppy to arrive. You rock!!.

[@kireenagulen4099]

I’ve seen loads of dog training videos over the past years since getting my GSP 8 yrs ago but this is bar far the best. You are a fabulous trainer. We will be getting a puppy in the next few months and this is helping re,ind me how to train my new puppy. Thank you.

Yep, I’m real who I am on KZbin. What I think is crazy is how many people have found success in social media off of copying, being fake, etc…

[@kidjetrecon7153]

Awesome teaching on calm, I used this on my last rescue, it works so well that a dog that almost was put down ended up being one of the best companion dogs in the world. He’s now with a older couple.

Best dog training videos i've seen. Great methods and logic with the dogs, clear communicator, not getting spammed with advertisements within your videos further proves the genuine nature you present! Glad I discovered you as you're now my benchmark for dog training and tips. Keep it up!

[@seriouslyson6559]

I must have watched this video a dozen times. I am picking up every thing your throwing down. The only problem with this video is when it comes up in my feed I'll have to watch it again. Kind of like when Rocky or Jaws is on TV. I've seen it a hundred times but I always get stuck watching it again. Thank you Sir for the great content.

[@ironjelly2]

Hey Stonnie, this video, and all your advice has really helped us with our dogs. Your approach is so simple and so effective. Our yellow lab puppy is now sleeping well in her crate and our boxer/whippet is so much calmer and happier using your "good student training". I'm like "duh", I didn't realize it would be so easy and so fast using these dog-centric techniques to train ME to communicate with these "such a fine animal". Your methods should be the _only_ way to train dogs. If I come across any good goat training advice, I'll send it your way!

Many young parents would do well to take some of this as "advice in kind". Small children respond to the same kinds of things- and when you scream at them they understand about as little as puppies do!

He is a super smart boy and by the time he was 10 weeks, already knew sit, down, come, stay, fetch and more. He is a very good citizen at meal time when I tell him to sit/stay and last to receive his meal in a home with another older dog and 2 cats.

Thanks Stonnie. I love your videos. You have a great personality. I'm getting a GSD in a couple of months so these videos are great

[@mklnelson77]

hello, just found your channel. Looking for videos about training puppies with lack of socialization behaviors. I have a 2 year old well trained and well behaved dog I have had since he was able to leave his mom, so it was easy to get him to do what was expected. However, I rescued a 6 month old puppy with a few behaviors from lack of early socialization. Hes 7 months now and my older dog has helped a ton but still needs some work with excessive barking at objects, my usual "go check it out" isn't having fast progress for outside spooks and less of indoors now. He gets so worked up so easily and hard to calm down, though in the house he almost has mastered a calm cue reliably that is not working so well for the yard still.

[@aleahmccraney7606]

An amazing way to train, I'm really good with dogs and my last dog I trained to sit, lay down and come with both hand and voice commands and as he got older I petted him and praised him instead of giving him treats, but I will definitely use this method of training for my new puppy. I love the idea of using his food rations I didn't think of that I usually train in multiple short sessions cause I dont want my puppy getting sick from treats and it is better for puppies attention spans.
