Labrador Retriever Puppy Training Four to Six Months

[@StonnieDennis]

Are you a fan of my training style, but can’t travel to Kentucky to see me in person? No worries! I offer an awesome online dog training course, which includes access to an array of exclusive videos and content, personalized coaching, journaling, and in-depth mentoring and evaluation by yours truly! Just need some an advice or have a couple questions you need answered? I also offer professional consulting by the hour. Both of these great services can be found here: kentuckycanine.com/onlinecoaching. Thank you all for your remarkable support over the years! I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your appreciation and patronage of this channel, my training style, and my kennel. Always remember, it’s a great day for a puppy-sized adventure! -Stonnie Dennis, Dog Trainer

[@marianicholas2722]

Just found you recently on utube and feel I found the perfect resource for our 1st puppy on the way! I will be contacting you soon with questions or perhaps online training. Thank you for sharing your years of experience with us so we can all bring out the best in our dogs and ourselves.

[@mandyHKH]

Your high pitched sound of appraising the doggo is so funny but so heart warming too haha

[@bunnybuns7387]

How I wish there were more trainers like you that make training fun and no,punishment. It leads to a dog that wants to keep trying with enthusiasm and that is worth its weight in gold.

[@qgde3rty8uiojh90]

That pig must be the best (behaved) dog I've ever seen. 🐕🐷👍😋

[@migratorygame7400]

alot of people trying to train their own dogs don't realise how important it is to explore with their young dogs. just a simple walk in the woods or a river bank helps alot. good video stonnie

[@jasonbillings2401]

Stonnie the calm easy manner you train your dogs really is the best practice. Thank you for each video!

[@halplummer4795]

@larry andrews I don't think so somehow.

[@emmahalsey9603]

Omg!!! I love your videos. I have 2 labs aged 5 and 3!! Since watching your videos my training has improved. Thank you so much. So grateful!!!

[@belewy3053]

My 19 week GSD puppy and I found our own small challenges course while walking today. It's a bunch of random exercise equipment built near a walking path not far from where I live. Lots of metal/wooden bars and planks at various heights and some boulders to climb on. I had my puppy jump over the lower bars and put her front paws on the higher ones. She really seemed to enjoy it. There was one low metal plank for her to walk across, at first she wasn't sure what I wanted her to do with it but eventually she got all 4 paws on it and got a treat. On the way back she wanted to try again and walked the length of it like she'd been doing it all her life. I was really proud of her, think I'll be taking her there more often now. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

she winning shows yet? lol

[@lorigraham2496]

I took my terrier pups everywhere on all kinds of camping adventures, hikes, parks, 4wheeler rides. I didn't change things because of age. We just went.

[@brookie5510]

I’m getting a black lab in June and I can’t wait!!!!

[@dana8911]

I laughed out loud at the pig wondering into the video! 😅

[@ernieclumber5456]

Thanks for the great videos! I’m learning so much and they are helping me train my 15 week old Clumber Spaniel. Love the straight forward calm training advice!

[@scottmarkle1268]

That is a beautiful specimen. He look a lot like my boy.

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

so cute to see mr. no-name this young

[@mercus1469]

Stoonie: "Hey pig do you MIND?"

[@roberttammyschlamann3381]

Your videos are very inspirational. My new female black lab will be coming home at the end of October when she is eight weeks old. Can’t wait to start training her with what I have learned in your videos!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Great tips Stonnie. Lab is doing a great job. Love these videos Stonnie

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks for watching!

[@cristyf8457]

I love your video's I just got my second black lab cross. My first black lab Dozer is great but the new one Cooper is proving more challenging and your video's have been very helpful. Thanks for all the great video's. Mr no name is awesome!! I think you should name him Pebble. Stonnie and Pebble so awesome!!!!

[@thepebble]

I'm getting a cream lab in September thank you so much Stonnie!!! 💜💜💜

[@zerdtt761]

Did you get it

[@MichaelsPwner]

That truly is an amazing dog! I’m hoping that when I take home my started puppy next month, that he will be as eager to learn and as confident as yours.

[@0003Zeb]

Many thanks for another great video Uncle Stonnie. You always try to make us more aware of the environment that we train our dogs in, which in turn will help us get the best out of the partnership between our dog and us!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you for watching!

[@alexandradittmann8588]

Love the song! Rest of the video's nice as well :-)

[@MarshaMarshaMarsh4]

Hey those stairs up into the boat - they have no spaces in between. What are those called? My little Frenchie really struggles for fear of overshooting etc….

[@mikem5823]

Great Video ,excellent training of the no name dog.

[@gregscott2563]

Great video, my Golden/Mal mix loves this kind of fun at 21 weeks

[@Smashby0]

Any man that is wearing Altamas while having puppo adventures is good to go in my book. 😂

[@judet3026]

You are inspirational Stonnie :-) I try as much as possible to put into practice the ideas you explain. Also love the Dog With No Name song LOL

[@StonnieDennis]

I appreciate the positive feedback!

[@ClayTallStories]

What you are saying about an increase in temp affecting your dog is so true. This is why wolves predominantly hunt in early morning and evenings.

[@StonnieDennis]

I think I may be part wolf...

[@rosemarygarcia341]

Hi Stonnie! Just signed up for your online training course! My 18 week old black lab, Jed, and I are looking forward to working with you!

[@StonnieDennis]

Just sent you an email!

[@marieemarch]

I love how you talk to the dogs. Mine is now 5 months I wish she was at this level

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Stonnie awesome video.

[@seriouslyson6559]

I was wondering what happened to the video. It was up then down. Figured you made a demo or bum joke and took it down. Lol I asked on your last video what happened. Thank you for what you do. 🇺🇸👍🏻

[@StonnieDennis]

Audio problems...you are welcome!

[@DrGlowaski]

I sooooo ♥️ Mister No Name 🥰🖤

[@Jsebs]

Thank you Stonnie! Awesome vid as usual!!

[@laurelwelch4176]

I use “where is it?’ “where is it?” And she learned to hunt for missed object.

[@KM-pj3cn]

Stonnie, I have my service dog in training and he knows how to come, sit, stay, lay, wait and a hole lot more he is 5 months and a great pyrenees. But he is not wanting to come when called now. What can I do to fix this?

[@2231mtbe]

What brand boat ladder are you using for this video? I've been looking for one exactly like that.

[@dariochiacig2713]

What product you give as a treats...brand

[@timdonnelly18]

Stonnie do you have an alternative for the feathers in the sock?.

[@ryanfiesta1135]

random question, what is the brand of the leash that u always use?

[@johnbowhunter7676]

I really like mr. no name… would like to know the breeder or what lines he came from?

[@mrjamesryan333]

Great videos! I almost feel guilty they are free. Do you recommend English or American type Labs? Don't hunt but very active and looking for the healthiest version I can. I have heard American (Field types) are more prone to ACL/CCL problems. What are some pros and cons that you see in each?

[@MrSarge4]

James Ryan the only difference is body size

[@jwodehouse7087]

I watch your channel for tips on my 2yr old English Lab. Last weekend I was at a farm event in PA and a lady had her puppy near my dog and she flipped when my lab went eagerly to sniff. She hollered “they said no more than 3 seconds.” I said “who” she replied smugly...”my trainer.” I never herrd that in all my days. In this video when that dog is going up steps you mention when will they ever learn new things. What’s your take on the 3 second rule that lady proclaimed??

[@campingalan]

Awesome video, as always!! 2 more days till picking up puppy. Now my brain is like "oh mannnn….I hope I can remember all that Stonnie said"!! When in doubt, I'll just go out and do some $h*t with the dog....and I know it will be fun for both.

[@ple52]

Do you ever train Golden Retrievers? I have 2 at 18months old and i never see any:)

[@walla2k594]

Great exercise, but if you do that in the spring time where I live, the dog will get bit by a rattlesnake.

[@laurelwelch4176]

Can we PLEEEEEZE give MR. Noname a name? I vote for jake. Then u can show us name change techniques for those who adopt rescues. 🤗👍

[@WiseWarriorsPath2]

great video brother,,, i also got a whole channel on dogs and learn from you.

[@dainajodi6548]

i will take a look

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks. I’ll take a look!

[@robk.4104]

I wish I could send you my lab . He is kicking my butt. He my second lab and the most hyper dog I have owned. The last lab I trained to retrieve ducksand hunt . This guy I have work 200 % more and got 20% the result of my last lab. Watching this/your pup work is frustrating .

[@genuineleo78]

How old is the black lab ? I have a fawn(golden) labrador back here in India. 8.5months old weighing nearly 24kg. I keep him fit by giving him walks almost 5 times in a day and nearly amounting to 3km a day. And yes my lab is a vegetarian. I dont feed him chicken meat or so. Curd, Rice, and so.e typical indian food which keeps his stomach healthy.

[@TheRedbirdfly]

Im sorry but I'm a vegetarian also but your dog is NOT! You are creating some long term health issues by not feeding meat. Raw beef and liver/heart are best Also raw chicken feet is great for collagen and calcium. I hope you do some unbiased research on the subject for the sake of your pet. They also need a vitamin supplement, I use "meal mix" its on Amazon.

[@susanjaffe315]

For my dogs “wait” essentially means wait a minute such as coming out of the car.”stay” means do not move until I either come back to you or decide you can move...if I leave a dog on a stay he should settle and not move..

[@tammijaje6959]

How do I get ahold of you?

[@tjava2338]

👍

[@ChatmanMatthew]

So is his name for sure 'Mr. No Name'?

[@sharronhumphries6727]

Hey Stonnie or anyone else, can you explain why you used the command " wait " instead of "stay " in the first minute on the obstacle course ?.

[@TheRedbirdfly]

The point is use any word you want for the action, just be consistent

[@sharronhumphries6727]

@@TheRedbirdfly constantly is the key .

[@an23439]

When are we going to see one of your dogs at a barbecue or in town?

[@StonnieDennis]

I’m not sure how to make that an interesting video. Give me a topic idea...

[@raymondrhodes]

My dog is perfect at home and on walks but the family bbq or around town she is just so people crazy I start losing a little control of her. She is just happy and wants.to.give everyone.love

[@1112arenmj]

an23439 stonie I watch your videos online but was wondering what you charge to train dogs?

[@paulacryer4330]

Stonnie Dennis I live a condo in an urban environment. Australian Labradoodle Pup 13 weeks is expected to always be on a lead. I am taking him to a bike/walking path with strollers, joggers, bikes coming from behind and toward him plus outdoor gym equipment and playground. Learning to walk on loose lead and to meet and pass other dogs on leads without approaching them. It’s just not welcome. Perhaps you could take your dog or dogs to town with traffic and intersections, retail, restaurant, people and other dogs? I am using your training in my environment successfully but it would be great to see you and Mr No Name in the big city. :)

[@aw0kenyt107]

When are you going to name mr no name

[@Here_Today_]

Mr. No Name, sounds like a name to me!

[@europeansovietunion7372]
