[@StonnieDennis]

I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I really appreciate the positive feedback!

[@lachlanmapley8515]

YOUR DOG?!

[@rick5787]

Awesome stuff, I have a 4 month old Lab that Ive been training with your Lab playlist. Cool to see new Lab videos!

[@squeezer5770]

You've been gone a while stonie. I am glad you came back after I found your videos!

[@samuela5479]

Man I love dogs. They will always be by your side, they truly are a mans best friend

[@peterlores1170]

Stonnie, I have a 10 week old Silver lab pup that I have been using the principles shown in your videos and after 2 weeks of Daily food work she is amazing me with her level of achievement...I really want to thank you for taking the time to post this information. I will continue the food training and keep building on the results. Keep the information coming. Pete from Northern Illinois

[@boblovett2784]

Man, I just want to thank you these videos. I've train my labs over the years, but have been buying started and trained dogs for the last ten years or so. I bought a good looking yellow male from this friend of mine in S.C. You sure made it easy so far.

[@cctvchannel1330]

I have 18 month lab and I have even watching dog videos from many years. But I must say this is the best video I have seen ever. Keep it up.

[@StonnieDennis]

You are too kind!

[@amdesaut]

+StonnieDennis So glad to see some newer training videos! Henry looks amazing and this new puppy's a real cutie!

[@theonlinedogtrainerreview5747]

I am finding your training sessions invaluable, thank you so much.

[@RobHealey]

Extremely helpful vids, thank you Stonnie, you've got the best attitude with dogs (and the goat & Pig!). You've helped me heaps with my young lab, I only wish I had seen your vids before I got her. I missed a vital step in training fetch.

[@TheRiverRebel]

Great video Stonnie. Really like the Labrador videos the most

[@RatdogDRB]

Nothing quite like seeing the fear being set aside and the bulb begin to glow. Being a driving instructor, it's the best time to be a part of.

[@rcoles82]

good to see your back mate. love ya work.

[@joankincaid7545]

really enjoy your videos. I have a 14 month old black lab that is well on his way to not only a therapy dog but my service dog. plus he hunts.

[@sandichoynacky4531]

[@moisesbolanos5604]

Awsome videos as ususal, manage to train a black lab thanks to you. I don't use him to hunt, but he is the envy of every owner at the park. So thanks again for taking the time to make this amazing training with love and rewards videos.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks for watching!

[@monicahewitt16]

what a great video. This video is giving me the tools that I need to train my 12 wk old puppies. Thank you so so much.

[@damorodrigo5756]

Thanks for the videos im starting my training on my chocolate lab at 8 weeks and shes doing good so far

[@danedodd34]

This is my favorite video since the series where you were training Henry.

[@StonnieDennis]

I aim to please...

[@kirkishot]

Stonnie, your still pictures are great!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks!

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Stonnie,I enjoyed watching your video,you do fantastic work with these Labs.I have two yellows,they could benefit from your training.

[@2156cynthia]

I really enjoyed watching this. It is very helpful!

[@StonnieDennis]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@BackBurnerKitchen]

Hey Stonie! When you were training the lab with the fetch indoors. I noticed you held onto the dog and then gave him the fetch command and let him go to get his toy. Does this serve the purpose of getting him used to not taking off until he is allowed to.

[@StonnieDennis]

Exactly the opposite...holding him makes him want to fetch more...

[@BackBurnerKitchen]

Got it!! Thanks for replying. Love the videos!

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

Labrador are great they give you so many good memories

[@sharronhumphries6727]

Stonnie this was amazing, thank you for sharing !!!

[@cassiesova6526]

I love how when you asked him to kennel up and the first second he didn't go for it you did not repeat the command you gave him the time to respond on his own!!

[@StonnieDennis]

It's important to give them time to process...

[@cassiesova6526]

[@sherrykao978]

Your labs are fabulous!

[@Curmudgeon12]

Hello Mr Dennis Your videos have been a huge help with my lab. When you took Henry out to the water for his first few times you mentioned stopping him from "shaking off" next to you. Can you demonstrate how?

[@kajdabeagle6588]

You know, you are so cool with the dogs, I do love how and what you do!!!... :-)

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

You are just the best stonnie ty so much

[@rmbtd]

Damn!!! I love your enthusiasm!!!!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks!

[@TimothyRyanFisher]

My 1st dog was a lab, easy to train, my second was a Shepherd, my lab trained her. Now I have a bull terrier pup, different experience, much harder to train.

[@rockystephens3982]

awesome video looks like Fort Boonesborough, I'm getting my kids a chocolate lad in 5 weeks

[@fallenleaf.931]

"incremental progress, guys" on point

[@andrewtungsk]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom here. God Bless You Always.

[@tazcaldwell1697]

Your a great dog trainer my friend

[@antiquenasaamerica5355]

Stonie you are a FINE ANIMAL.. Boss is lookin good boes...

[@kierstandodd6572]

Fabulous video!

[@TimothyRyanFisher]

I have spent thousands of hours training my bull terrier, she is awesome, comes when called even if distracted. But it took a lot of work.

[@saberman1]

Love this video.

[@mattk3445]

Stonnie I recently got a female black lab, she's 10 weeks and I'm having a lot of fun with her. I'd Love to buy one of those fetch guns you're using in this video. Can you link me to it? Keep up the great work. Very informative and straight forward videos.

[@StonnieDennis]

You can get them lots of places. I got mine at Gundogsupply.com

[@mattk3445]

@@StonnieDennis Thank you sir. Keep up the great work and content.

[@elizabethgardner5950]

Hey Stonnie: I can relate with you at knowing that you have to let go of the dog, it's a heart thing and will always be a piece of you to go with the dog too. Dogs have a sensing of the human's that they can and do trust. Have this dog come back to you in time and he most certainly will remember you, showing love and devotion and big slobbery kisses. Indeed it is bitter sweet.

[@sailorjohnboy]

Stonnie, wonderful videos. using them to get my now 10 week old black lab trained up. what did you do to the clipped end of the wing to make it not nasty for inside? my other half is not excited about having a wing inside.

[@StonnieDennis]

That's just some duct tape to keep the wing from breaking apart. It's still gross...

[@sailorjohnboy]

Stonnie Dennis I appreciate the reply, thank you.

[@StonnieDennis]

Good luck!

[@mkarthikeyan9489]

Stonnie, Could you please explain how to prepare "Home Made Dog Food " details and How much serve per day. It's really help full.

[@StonnieDennis]

That's outside of my expertise level, to be honest...

[@mkarthikeyan9489]

Thanks for your response .😀

[@Max.M.]

Wen ein deutscher das Video hier sieht kan mir den jemand sagen wie dieses Ding genau heißt wo der schwarze labrador bei Minute 3:38 drinne liegt?bitte den genauen Namen

[@jbender1024]

I battle the chasing game or keep away as i like to call it. any suggestions? will he grow out of it?

[@kmayeski3]

Another great training video! How long is that line on boss? Material?

[@StonnieDennis]

That's just a slip lead attached to a rope from Harbor Freight...nothing fancy...

[@tayloranderson6831]

Stonnie any tips on how to get a lab puppy to quit biting?

[@KanoonKaPitara]

Great vids for training my lab.

[@caninecompanionsnepal]

wow!! thank you so much... great going!

[@ejhejh6377]

Can I take my 9 week old in shallow creek water.. I'll jump in and get him if he finds a deepish spot..

[@ahmedtitoo6389]

I have a question If you train boss in the same way that henrry have it gose sam attitude for boss In other way if you give the english lab same training steps of 14 videos of American lab can you get sam result ?? Thank you

[@themechanic4222]

And the shotgun encase the dog go nut? 0:50 lol

[@jeremyadams521]

Dennis do you find any difference in coat colour in labs for training.

[@jtalleman]

I have a 10 month old Charcoal lab that literally hates water. I've tried getting in the water with him and I've tried throwing his toy in the water. Wondering if there was a way for me to get him to not hate water.

[@Newschanel07]

Good training 😎😎😙😙😍

[@jackmazza5742]

What is that system you have there that fires the decoy??

[@labradormcgraw2409]

You just can't beat a Labrador.

[@mikebianculli2614]

I’ll put it to you this way of a 14month old lab she is wildly crazy he’s been through the puppies for is it too late to Train her to retrieve ducks

[@allenmiller1627]

my lab like jumping on little kids and knocking them down. what do i do?

[@rubyriddle6512]

What if you don't have a mentor dog to get your dog fear of water your water. I have a four month old golden retriever lab mix who is retrieving I'm just having problems with him bringing it to me and he is a little bit of a fear water and I don't know how to get over it in my other dog it's not a Waterdog.

[@StonnieDennis]

Get in the water with him!

[@janetavila1403]

Aww so cute what treats do you use I was told just to give my pup lab who's 11 weeks her food no special treats ?

[@jacobcalloway8936]

Javi bella From my experience use food as long as you can until they act uninterested in it, my lab puppies normally get tired of food and I start using treats around 13 weeks.

[@brendanarminio8438]

I thought you were always giving them their normal food. What kind of treats do you use to reward them?

[@timdorsey9226]

Look at his "training young puppies vidoes where he explains that he uses 1/2 of that dogs daily food for training. Then he uses high value meat treats as high reward. IE baked chicken liver.

[@coletousignant2622]

Yes normal food is good

[@Rockmachine99]

I would love to hear your recommendations of different breeds. Not just their intelligence, but their personalities as dogs too. Also about the different genders. For example, is it true that if you (the owner) are a male you are better off training a female (and vice a versa)? Thanks for the vid man.

[@timdorsey9226]

I would recomend if you have some spare time to check out a coursera class by Brian Hare from Duke Univeristy that is studying in great detail the concept of intelligence in K9s. It is very interesting and I think you will find the answers to your questions to be different than you would think.

[@GadgetViper]

I'm so glad I found your channel Stonnie. I've been using your Henry playlist as a guide to train my black lab, and he is doing amazing using your techniques. I had an issue where he would jump up when greeting people, I stumbled across one of your videos suggesting holding on to his paws and that has worked really well too. I do have one real nasty habit which I'm struggling with.. three times now he has brought cat poo into the house, with 2 young boys this is a real hygiene issue. The last 2 times I've reacted badly and shouted at him which I'm sure is not the best approach. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@eyecred4153]

The little one jumps like a rabbit in the grass xD

[@blakeheller4603]

Stonnie I'm having problems with my 6 month old lab running away with his dummy. How do I get him to want to retrieve to me without treats?

[@StonnieDennis]

Back up and work on your fundamentals...

[@blakeheller4603]

Stonnie Dennis Thanks! I'll go back to your earlier videos

[@StonnieDennis]

Shorten up your retrieves, make your initial practice sessions in low distraction environments, use a long line...

[@blakeheller4603]

Stonnie Dennis He does pretty well when I give him treats for retrieving but I'd like to ween him away from that so he can see the act of retrieving as his reward for being steady. Is this smart to do? Or should I just continue with the treats?

[@StonnieDennis]

Once he has the idea of retrieving, it's all about practicing when he is full of energy, short sessions, gradually increasing distance, and emotional leadership...

[@ritamaria7606]

What about a dog that's about a year old? Just adopted.

[@riddheshsaner1695]

dear sir i want to buy a labrador so i want to train hime so will u help me

[@grantdunks7436]

Can u use a pool instead of a river

[@StonnieDennis]

That would be a good start!

[@Torpedex10]

why is there a pump action shotgun in ur dogs room

[@kevinokane2000]

Why don’t I ever see you training any border collies? Do you not like to work with them?

[@theTreesandme]

What is your reaction to the concept that a puppy should get 5 minutes of exercise per month of life? Seems like your dogs get way more than that and my large dogs always have as well. We have a new rescue puppy who turned out to be much smaller than we expected and I'm worried about over doing it because of all the "don't over exercise your puppy" warnings online.

[@StonnieDennis]

Unless your puppy has an obvious physical deficiency, that rule is a surefire way to rob your puppy of proper physical and mental development...

[@theTreesandme]

Thanks for your reply. Happy to continue being out in the woods with my puppy.

[@huntingdogsforsale4826]

good

[@sistercarrieofyahuah8601]

You look way way better with long hair. I'm just saying, I didn't realize it was you . With short hair you look different

[@Krizla4]

You sound a lot like Mr. Garisson from SouthPark ... HmmKay. :)

[@preston8859]

mmmkay is Mr. Mackey not garisson

[@GadgetViper]

Stonnie! I just made this video to show you how my Lab puppy has progressed using your videos - Hope you like it :) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZLco2Z8iKykqsk

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks! Keep up the good work!
