Calm hands make calm dogs...excellent advice!

[@dt1351]

The eyes of the German Shorthaired Pointer are the best eyes of any dog. I fell in love instantly with my baby's puppy eyes and I'm still totally in love with them ten years on. She still uses them on me to the utmost every day to manipulate me round to her wishes. Those eyes can talk to me! No crates though!

[@pandapolka]

My childhood dog was wonderful, but admittedly not well socialized 😕 we get a new puppy in a few weeks and will DEFINITELY be following this advice to socialize our new fur baby (plus the first two points as well obviously)

[@larrytice9717]

That was so cute, it looked like the mom or dad was trying to ignore the dog the way you trained the older dog!!! So cool!!!

[@cynblends]

Excellent video! Excellent tips! Thank you! Picking up my puppy next week! 💙🐾

[@blindsquirrel3123]

Excellent information. Thank you!

[@samanife]

Thank you. New subscriber ... picking up our GSP in 4 days ... we are all super excited. Will forward this video to my kids as well. Will watch many more of your videos :)

[@StandingStoneKennels]

[@petrishalee2315]

Hehe bringing a dog home anywhere between 6-12 months.. hopefully the wait goes by fast! Will continue to watch your vids as a way to prepare, thank you as always!

[@dt1351]

Hell, I brought my beautiful lady home at just four weeks. Yes I know, too early to be away from mom but mom wasn't well. My tiny handful is now ten years old and a more loyal, obedient, loving companion I couldn't wish for.

[@gsp_in_training]

I finally get my gsp pup in a few weeks.. Thanks for another great video!

[@FKdohle705]

Wow, some great advice and very close to my own thoughts on raising a puppy. I did learn a few things regarding schedules and crate training I never knew. Keep going with this great content! Fred

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@spredmore8260]

[@HuntwithLMs]

@@matthewwagner4042 creeping up on 400 wild bird contacts and around 150 in the vest. Got lucky with this one. Wierd that it says a year ago. He just turned 2 April 29th.

[@dannykretzer7466]

Hey, thanks for the great info. I'm expecting a puppy in 3 weeks. My first GSP pup. Haven't had a puppy in approximately 17 years, since my last lab pup. I've been wanting a GSP for approximately 45 years I can hardly wait! I greatly enjoy your videos much appreciated thank you!

[@petrishalee2315]

That’s so exciting! Good luck 👍

[@susanhowe163]

AGE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER.

[@fearthebeardmomma2102]

I'm coming to this a little late, but... This video is awesome! We're getting our new GWP puppy in May, and I love being as prepared as possible!

[@drwrencho4392]

I get my puppo next month!! I'm taking my vacation for the first week and if work permits a 2nd week also

[@libbyg1407]

I am getting a British Lab this summer, he will be our second British Lab, and I was wondering if you have any tips on helping my two labs create a great bond, how to properly introduce them to each other, and when the puppy gets older, how to introduce hunting together? Thanks!

[@csillagpter]

Hi StandingStone, Your videos are vey informative and useful. I am going to have an 8 weeks old puppy soon. I want to ask what is a good ratio/balance between using crate or dogbed. (I meann dogbed not in the crate) Naturally when the puppy is unettended I am going to use dogbed. Shall I use dogbed in playpen in the early stage? Thanks for your answer. Take care Peter

[@thefrugalsportsman]

I have really been enjoying many of your videos and am learning a lot. I live in the Northeast and plan I buying a hunting lab puppy in the near future. I know many people purchase a pup in the spring to train them all summer to hunt in the fall. That isn't an option for this spring so my question is with the cold winters we can have should I purchase my pup in late July or wait until the early spring to purchase a pup for training? Any help you could give would be great! Thanks and thanks for you videos. Keep up the great work.

[@hannahcarter2279]

my brother Timmy told me that he’s thinking about getting a puppy found out the mother and father dogs having puppies due in October 4th and Timmy came to me to give him some dog training tips

[@jkulrty]

Where do you get those dog beds?

[@wesmyers6590]

Great video! Lot's of good reinforcement of the things I'm trying to do with my new puppy. I did come away with some "aha" moments. It was a little distracting listening to you and beautiful background piano music while a GSP puppy has his BM. :) JK

[@JohnHighmerSmith]

yes very good vid, even music is ok, but maybe a litle quieter would be better, this is a vid to focus on the details of info for new puppy

[@jeremygonzales882]

Do you sell any how to books?

[@BadlandsNavy]

What kind of Dog Beds are those?

[@ariannaborgmeier8179]

I’m getting my first gsp puppy this spring I’ve had many puppies before but is there anything I should know about training this specific breed that would be different than my past breeds (German Shepard, Australian Shepard, Norwegian elkhound, beagle)

[@nicholascampos3301]

I have two schedules so one day I wake up early and the next 3 hours later so what would I do for their food?

[@joris-zuphert]

Why do you darken the crate?

[@Eliv537]

10:24 what brand of dog beds?

[@haleypollock7517]

I have a 11 week old gsp. My friend brought her puppy over who was a little older. My gsp was not nice at all. She would be so aggressive towards the other puppy. Any advice on what to do and how to act?

[@ericastiller4828]

Did my fiance call you directly? He and I are getting mRried this Saturday and get our first setter 2 weeks later! Hurricane will hopefully treat me like your puppy treats you? We are studying your every video! MN loves you!

[@camilamcdermott1912]

Hello! We are on the look for a black GSP, can I ask more information about the breeder that this puppy came from??? Thank youuu Edit: We live in Ilinois!

[@ronaldgensler726]

Often should I feed my puppy, How many times a day should I provide water?

[@landonray2346]

i see all these comments about gsp are they really good dogs? i’ve always used english cocker spaniels for bird hunting

[@anyoneanywhere8212]

Yeah they are great dogs. If you treat them properly.

[@spunkybear1597]

What is purpose of putting towel over crate? Thanks 😊

[@napriaa5175]

It helps to avoid them getting excited or hyper or nervous (about possibility of being ignored) whenever anyone passes the crate, at the possibility of being let out. If they don't get let out or attention when being passed by while they're in the crate they can get very depressed which is bad. It's like an unnecessary torture. Covering the crate can help keep them calm and more emotionally stable during their experience in the crate.

[@youowememe9851]

10 Days left for me !

[@pho2744]

Im getting my german shepherd this Saturday!! Any tips for my pup?

[@prohjac]

YAWA question: bringing home our first GSP puppy on January 9th. We have a 4.5 year old lab rescue which we adopted at 4 months. I upland hunt and worked with a trainer (probably more for me than him). We trained recall to the word “heel”. The trainers thought was heel will mean be close to my left side. So if I’m walking him on heel he is close to my side and if we are in the field and I want to recall when I say heel, he comes to my side. It’s worked well, but is there any reason I would want to train recall to a different word from heel? Looks like you guys use here, which is super close to heel. And you teach heel for healing.

[@ashtonsquires3102]

The word itself shouldn’t matter. As long as you’re consistent with the word and what you expect to happen when you say it, you’ll be fine. You could use the word “pineapple” if you wanted and it would be fine as long as you trained it properly.

[@prohjac]

@@ashtonsquires3102 Thanks! So far our new pup is doing great with recall. We have not worked hard yet on heeling, but will begin that process now that she has a lot of confidence.

[@jacobalten]

I have 2.5 year old blk lab. I have been having trouble with training him. but its me that is not the good care taker. Thank you for your information. Although I am still having troubles with housetraining. there is alot of aggressive when feeding with the 2 older dogs. would i just feed them at a separate time???

[@jacobalten]

this training was really broken down to segments great to remember training my blk lab ... thanks .. i forgot to post this

[@Bootv374]

You guys put step 2 instead of step number 3 🤣

[@jsean223]

Can I crate my puppy while I am going to bed at night?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@jsean223]

StandingStoneKennels but I learnt a puppy can’t hold 8 hours long? Should I use fences and pee pads training instead?

[@schockandschock6996]

How old is he

[@carlabrodhagen2884]

Are they eating carrots 🥕?

[@yblignomis]

Socialisation: they need to meet all kinds and colours of people, black, white, Asian, beards, tattoos, children of various ages, other dogs as you observed. A relaxed well socialised dog is a joy, a neurotic dog is something else, and hard to train out of it.

[@Copen.Whiskey]

How bad of an idea is it to take home 2 brother puppies? Lol

[@pumpkinhead8593]

I wouldn't recommend it. Giving adequate attention and training to one puppy can be a challenge, two is nearly impossible for most people. Plus, if you keep two puppies together 24/7 they will bond with each other much more than with their human, making training even more difficult, because they simply won't be as interested in their human family. I would wait at least a couple of years before adding a new puppy.
