Labrador Retriever Teach Your Puppy To Come When You Call - Gun Dog Training

[@unbiasedopinion1667]

I'm super excited! We'll be getting a chocolate lab in a few weeks and I am trying to learn as much as I can to properly train him. Thank you so much for this content. My husband loves hunting and fishing so this whole series is perfect to suit him into our lifestyle❤

[@joeamin2838]

I have been using this kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU as a handy reference book. I read through the book and enjoyed the little glimpses of examples. I love that this author believes in rescue dogs. The tips and training has been invaluable and gave me moments of...."how simple why didn't I think of it" so it's been a great tool. Thank you!

[@patrickwatkins3837]

My wife and I just got our first working dog (a 8 week old Springer spaniel chocolate lab mix) she has a great drive and loves training your videos were an inspiration and have been a great help thank you guys so much

[@spencerlewis3335]

I will be getting a retriever puppy soon, and these videos are super helpful! Thank you!

[@bethr5228]

Great job, Sprig! He's doing a great job and picking up things nicely!

[@Scruffyduck1]

Thanks a lot for this. I’m getting a puppy tomorrow and this really helps

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Happy to help!!

[@Scruffyduck1]

Thanks!

My pup likes to bite when we work on “here”. I think I’m moving to fast as when I first started with him he did not bite when calling him. He is 8.5 weeks old. How can I get him to not bite when calling him

[@montemichaelson1471]

As usual another great training video. Be curious what kind of puppy chow do you feed your young dogs? Also, thanks for helping train us, so we can do a better job in training our pups.

[@joeycast]

My Choc lab pup learned this so fast, but Instead of touching my hand with her nose, she bites at my hand. Any tips in breaking this habit? I have started to lift my hand up so only her nose hits before I click. Any pointers are appreciated! Thanks!

[@jimgrier7869]

Can I start with the clicker, then later verbal marker? A clicker is one more thing to remember to bring and hold on to while training.

[@danielbutcher5836]

Learning so much from your channel! Thank you! My Lab/Heeler is almost 8 weeks, and she's already soaking up some of this stuff like a champ. Do you subscribe to the 'they either have it, or they don't' theory on retrieving, or do you think any dog can learn? I'm seeing more of the herding side of her so far.

[@JamesBaylizz]

Hey guys amazing content! Its been amazingly helpful! But I need help! My puppy is an Aussie Shepard - born on a farm and I grabbed him at 8 weeks old. Ive had him for about 1.5 weeks and hes knocking it out of the park - he has bed, kennel, sit, lay down and come (here) nailed - however when it comes to "here" he doesnt just lead with his nose - he goes after my hand and starts chewing etc. I know puppies at 8 weeks are teeth but tyhis is behavior id like to eliminate. Problem is - if I try to hold back until he only does his nose he starts to bark and lose his patience and ultimately starts to disengage entirely. How can go about removing this unwanted habit so hes only leading with his nose? Or is this something that eventually goes away on its own?

[@Lifeslessonssss]

These techniques seems very effective. Thanks u so much

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate our fans!

[@shawnfearon2285]

Would there be an issue with using the puppy's name as the cue, instead of "here"? Love the videos!

[@maggied-zq1sw]

How long do you continue the "here" training? And is there a way to ensure when you've mastered the clicker training - I'm trying how/when to stop rewarding with clicker + food (or should I always include food)?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

In the early stages it’s good to continue for a while!

[@aaronjackson5980]

@@StandingStoneKennels Can you please make a video describing the transition process from food reward to a toy or other object and at what age to start considering this transition ? Great videos, new subscriber ! Training my second Brittany Spaniel, Peaches, 9 weeks old : )

[@walkingwithjesus365ministr5]

Thanks for the videos. Just found your channel. We just got a GSP puppy, and we are using some of your training suggestions. I understand that mealtime is a great time to train, but our puppy doesn't get overly excited about his regular puppy food. What puppy food are you using? Thanks again for the content!

[@henrydimondjr4203]

As an alternative to “here”, would you use “touch” or “come”? I am not sure how this skill progresses yet. One step at a time!

[@bryantally5081]

Great training videos. Where can I get a dog bed like the ones in the video?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

kuranda.com/?rfsn=2043501.a2b3bf We use the 35” x 23” pvc beds in the house and we add the slip covers for a less industrial look. In the kennel we actually use the next size up which is the 40” x 25” aluminum beds.

StandingStoneKennels What the-

[@tylerlux6798]

I’m getting my lab puppy at 7 weeks old, is it okay to start clicker training him right away?

[@thesnipmasterthesnipmaster4421]

Yeah

[@ironmomcalifornia]

also curious about litter mate syndrome and if mine are fighting

[@hdaniels30]

I love your videos. Question. I’m training my first gsp. She’s brilliant. In one of your videos Kat is calling Rogue’s name. This one you’re just using “here”. Which is better? Is there a preference? Does it matter? Lol. Personally I like using the name, especially in the case of working with other dogs. However, I also send her with her name. Looking for your input. Thank you

[@jonathanwatson4859]

I don't know if you're going to see this but I'm getting a labrador retriever in June and don't know what equipment to get for it to be an obedient pet is there a list of things you can tell me

[@DuffinBen]

Love the videos, we are almost 1 week in to owning our first lab here in the uk. I have been watching all of your videos with Sprig and Fox and very keen to train our Lab (oakley) in a similar way. However, I have been trying to 'charge the clicker' all week to which there is little to no response. I have assessed my timing and fairly confident I have that right. Is it possible that some dogs do not respond to a clicker? or should I keep persevering with it? We have taught him 'sit' just in a conventional training method, but that was easy because he just wants to sit all the time anyway!!! Would be great to hear your advice, Thankyou!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

We would he interested in seeing a session.. most dogs would have a good understanding of the clicker in that amount of time. There may be a small tip we could help speed this up!

[@DuffinBen]

@@StandingStoneKennels thanks so much for your reply, we will try to video the next session.

[@theresahusman6]

Just found your site. Just got a new to us dog. 4 months old German short hair/lab. Do you recommend starting the clicker training from the beginning as a restart to training? He knows some things. Will a restart ruin a dog?

[@jasamization]

Are you guys just using his regular dry food as reward and the same amount that he is supposed to eat per meal?

[@ericramey4896]

Our Lab pup is 8 weeks old. We brought him home at 7 weeks. He is great with the clicker, and actually already touches my hand and sits. But when we go outside, he will not come to us, and isn't very interested in following us around the property. We have tried with and w/out a leash. I have thrown a training dummy a few times, and he isn't very interested in that either. He prefers to stay behind us when we do get him moving. In the house, he is very active and playful. Am I expecting too much from him outside at this stage? This is my 3rd lab, and the others were always energetic outside and retrieved from the start. Thank you for any information.

[@Dylan-si5qm]

I'm going through the same with my 9 week old chocolate. He sits, stays, and lays down on command. Outside and distracted, completely different story. I think we're expecting too much. Just stay consistent

[@Bearhunt002]

Try keeping the pup on a 10-15 foot check cord. This will help when they are outside. You give the command here or come and draw then in. It will also help with retrieving down the road so the pup always comes straight back to you and not run off.

[@thomasgrantham9884]

How many times a day do you utilize the clicker training? Is it only morning feed and night feed? I have a 8 week old yellow lab and trying to go along with the video series and so far he know what the clicker means at breakfast and dinner and we’ve been working on sit. I’m just wondering if I need to do it more that just twice a day. @StandingStoneKennels

[@davonungaro3023]

i have a 5 month old lab puppy that is a natural at most things but when it comes to retrieving birds he just tries to destroy them how can fix this?

[@msuggs2230]

Can you link what clicker your using, ty

[@mackensiekoehler9145]

How much/often do you feed sprig? I just got my almost 8 week only pup and unsure what the right amount to feed him is

[@Abbbpash]

Just a quick question for you. How do I train my Labrador to eat from his bowl only. The last one I had used to sniff food stuff that was thrown near bins and munched on it. This caused him to have an upset tummy. So for the next one I want him to have his food from his bowl only and doesn't eat food that is outside his bowl. Regards

[@jacobroark4938]

Have a question with training my own dog. His name is Ruger. He is 1 year 3 months old. He is doing good with sitting on command with clicker but when I say here he comes to about 3-4 feet in front of me and stops. He wont target my hand. Mind I have just started training with him. What can I do to help him become more at ease with coming all the way to target?

[@jimthebutcher99]

Call him with a bit of food in your hand. He will come to you when he realizes you have the food already. But he does not get it until he comes and sits properly in front of you

[@SprFlyJW]

Are you feeding the whole meal to him through training piece by piece or just part of his meal. How much are you giving him and how often. Thanks!

[@msuggs2230]

Can you link what clicker your using ty

[@xFieLDzZ]

My lab pup won't do this. When I charged the clicker I accidentally taught him to sit to receive his food so if I put my hand out it means nothing to him

[@jadenisiah]

Any updates?

[@martintickleholland5571]

We have a 9 week old lab but he still doesn't recognise his name, we have charged the clicker and done one session of target and he did that ok, but if we call his name at any time he doesn't react. Can we add anything into these sessions to help?

[@jenno683]

What is that clicking thing called? Please someone answer my question.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It’s actually called a “clicker” we have them on our website if your interested: www.standingstonekennels.com/store/standing-stone-kennels-clicker

[@GoodGollyGonzo]

Is he slightly underweight? Genuinely curious, as we are getting a lab very soon

[@dustinhuggins374]

Just recently bought a puppy he’s 8 weeks old I have a couple questions first: im just now starting basic training is it okay to start with sit if he responds better and it seems to get his focus on the clicker more than here? And what are your thoughts on golden retriever/ Labrador my puppies parents had decent bloodlines what should my expectations be?

[@smatson1000]

What kind of beds are those?

[@ambikams9609]

My pup uses his mouth and teeth to touch my hand instead of his nose when I use this training method. What am I doing wrong?

[@thesnipmasterthesnipmaster4421]

He thinks it's a treat

[@treykilmer8147]

i have been trying to do this with my 10 week old lab Zoro and he doesnt seem very interested in coming to my hand is there a way to get him more interested?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Can you video a session?!

[@treykilmer8147]

StandingStoneKennels I should be able to and I haven’t been able to get a hold of a legit clicker cause the pet stores are all out I ordered one I’m still waiting though, so I’ve been using a pen to simulate that until I can get an actual one

[@FullTwos]

Is 16 weeks too late to introduce a clicker? Once I bring treats out my pup only pays attention to the treats. Will not hear a word I say after that til I put em away

[@StandingStoneKennels]

16 weeks is just fine. Good Luck! Reach out to us on www.patreon.com/StandingStoneKennels if you need any extra help

[@hazaelsgreencleaningsoluti5119]

Hi I have question about the video, can you use a home made clicker (like a bottle cap) or does it need to be especially made for dogs? Thank you and have a wonderful day. (•‿•)

[@ironmomcalifornia]

Hey, I have two lab pups from the same litter. They're crate training together. Should I do these exercises with them together or individually?

[@kln0695]

I started training my lab at 12 weeks it's that to late?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not at all! Just work through each video in sprigs series!

[@TheCalame]

Absolutely not.

[@trentonlampkin531]

How much do you feed your puppy’s

[@StandingStoneKennels]

We feed to condition. At 8 weeks the average 2 cups a day increasing to 4 cups around 6 plus months depending on the dog.

[@nacholibre9842]

When should you start incorporating the name?

[@MoLife00]

As soon as you get them. I call my dog by her name all the time and she’s starting to familiarize after just 3 days

[@nacholibre9842]

Imani Parker I introduced my puppy’s name to him using a clicker. As soon as he looks me in the eye as I call his name, I click and give the treat. Thank you for your response! 😁

[@tylerlux6798]

How much food is too much while training? Say you don’t do it before he eats. If you train in the middle of the day how much food should I be giving him while training as food is a huge incorporation into training? Thanks

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Split out the daily food allowance and don’t go over that for your training sessions!

[@WorldsBestFisherman152]

My puppy is really smart but she doesn’t seem to come to her name at all she will just stand there and stare at me while tilting her head

[@peaceandlove5214]

Labs learn easily why there is no videos to train hounds??!!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not yet..

[@michaelboden1047]

does your training work on all dogs?

[@aureliaanderson9156]

Yes, it should! I’ve worked with puppies of many different breeds, using the clicker technique which is pretty well known, and it’s really just about the consistency, and really any puppy can be trained this way!
