[@Boluggg]

Hey Stonnie what are those shades you’re wearing? Looking sharp!

[@TheDanvilletrain]

Stonnie. Your channel is one of the most wholesome things to watch on KZbin. It's a breath of fresh air. It's like tuning in to Doggy Mayberry. God bless

[@LillyMarz777]

Great description! 👍🥰

[@denisesteele-turtlerunners8808]

I agree

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback!

[@jbc9259]

Completely agree...not even a dog owner either, but still living vicariously and enjoy the outdoor adventures, beautiful scenery, how great it is the family is involved too in front and behind the camera!

The very first time I took my GSP to the grouse woods hunting. She ran off and wouldn't come back. I was with a couple guys so I didn't let them know I was stressed about it, but I was dreading going home to tell my wife I lost the dog. When we made it back to the truck, she was there whining scared that she was lost forever. It was the best thing that has ever happened to her. She learned that day to check in with me. When she was younger, if she was hunting a little too far and not checking back in, I would hide right off the trail and when she looked back and I wasn't there, she'd come to look for me. She's two now and her recall is awesome. She isn't the most honest when holding a bird yet, but she's getting there.

Hide & seek is one of my favorite games with my pups! Their noses are incredible. Can be dead silent and they still know right where I am! They also love playing the “go find ‘em” game where I take little dollar store condiment cups and put a small treat in each then hide them around the back yard. I let them smell a treat in my hand and say, “go find ‘em” and off they go. Super fun for us all.

[@HAXMAN]

Watching that GSP puppy makes it almost impossible to not want one. 😄

[@lilacollins1408]

Chunk is a perfect name for a chocolate lab. I love it! Thanks for the fun adventures!

[@Yataro79]

That skinny Kimber girl is awesome. I'd love to see more of her! Adorable and encouraging.

[@kyte.the.adventurer9748]

Aww thank you for another great adventure....

[@fishslider]

Stonnie love your content. I want a dog now, more than ever. It has not been the right time for too long.

[@logannewman4532]

My dog spent the first two years of his life coming to work with me every day in a machine shop. He does great in any setting but even learning how to behave in a busy shop is a very interesting skillset for a dog. He was kenneled for his first year and by the time he was 2 he had his cot under my workbench and knew all of his boundaries within the shop. He would periodically get up and go make his rounds visiting the office folks and he knew when breaktimes and lunch were supposed to be. The customer service call center on the other side of the greenbelt in our business park employed a lot of college age kids and boy does Hank like the ladies. Such a great wingman.

[@Smitch2909]

Kimber in the treats at the end made me laugh. My 5 month old GSP keeps sneaking in the pouch when I'm putting her leash on in the boot of the car- I'm a slow learner!

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

🇮🇪 very good sharing they're so good such wonderful dogs 🐕 🐕

[@RatdogDRB]

Good dogs, and great helpers. Can't beat that. Bumped into a guy today, walking his American Black Lab pup and passed along your channel for input on how to get help working his pup. And, a fine young lad that pup is too.

[@mmayper]

Really caring to take and train Kimba not to get hurt. Sometimes we don't realize that they can get hurt so easily.

[@mmayper]

My chocolate lab a rescue was thrilled to run free and she came down on a stick and it pierced her side, nasty wound.

[@kobenoah1]

I love this channel! I follow a couple others, but you are still my favorite! :)

[@lordjill58]

Love me some Stonnie D. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. You’re a comfort around my home. Wish I could bring my 2 sister pup mini Goldendoodles and hang out with y’all!!

[@scottbruce9872]

Time to take pup to creek again. Thanks

[@islaystevensoncurrie1016]

Great show Stonnie, love Chunk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@baja1980s]

Love the peace and positivity in your content and educational and soothing. You sir are the Bob Ross of Dog Training.. ✨✨✨👍🏾🐕🐕❤️

[@andymullarx6365]

The German Shorthair is in her element.

[@laurajackson6860]

Your channel and two others I watch that feature animals and caring for them are my faves. Thanks for sharing!

[@hlehardy3241]

I love this! I can get discouraged that my dog isn’t always where I want him in his training, but then I see videos like this to remind me how much he does well. I’m going to try this method of hide and seek. He always gets nervous when I try to play with him, but this might show him it’s a game instead of him losing me.

[@williamalexander7481]

This area is just beautiful

[@hellosunshine9915]

Great video! Loved the fun at the end 😂

[@geraldb9706]

Love that ending Stonnie! That Chunk is just like my chocolate Saje. Great video today. Charlotte was an awesome Princess also. Peace and Calm to all of you. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

[@jondavies4027]

Outstanding video once again.

[@chriswong8400]

now thats a Happy ending!🤣

[@dkreptilesLLC]

Another great video stonnie. My staffy loves the water I have to be careful specially if the toy sinks cause he will try and get it.

[@garyhart9250]

Great info! I have found many cool things for my Chocolate to do locally even the gym by my house has the big tractor tires they work out with so we have been using them to climb on ...

[@anniecampbell8554]

What a super way to start the weekend - thanks as always for sharing your knowledge in such a fun way!

[@Mitch_Ryder]

Good one!

[@janetchapman5114]

Love your videoes!!!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

[@CarolLovesJesus]

Great job Stonnie crew 👏

[@icaniwillgrow]

Love your approach which I am trying to follow with my Working Cocker Spaniel. Do you have a canine first aid kit? And if so, what do you carry in it?

[@dariocontreras4444]

Whaaat I never knew you took dogs on bikes.. I do dog training around town and do the same...... U a dog training legend stonnie would love to work with you

[@bethabernathy6135]

That water sure looks good.......

[@geraldb9706]

Great info at the beginning on finding places In your own environment Stonnie. My issue is where I live there is not much good water for my Chocolate Lab to go in. Lots of slough’s and lakes, but lots of green algae and leeches also. 🙁

[@MexicoPescadoro]

Uncle Joey says, " Not all dogs are GSP's but all dogs want to be GSP's."

[@Turtleluver26]

generally a fan of this channel, even when I disagree with specific training points I find that there is at least a kernel of truth to learn from. However, the point about cats in trees made me laugh- you don't find cat skeletons in trees because they jump down eventually (whether or not they survive that jump depends on a number of factors). Cats can climb upwards but can't climb downwards because of the shape of their claws, they aren't staying in the tree because people are "acting weird" lol

[@ElsvanGemert]

do you also training to gether with de the new oner? greetings Els from Nederlands

[@botoepfer546]

Stonnie, what "game vest are you using?

[@kevinschuiteboer6367]

Stonnie you are the coolest person I am using a electric caller but I use the beeper and the vibrated is that okay

[@StonnieDennis]

I think pretty much all approaches are okay as long as they are implemented with consistency and patience. Some tools are super easy to use improperly so extra care must be taken to train responsibly when using those methodologies.

[@ChickensandCanines]

❤️

[@gabemanabat7027]

Stonnie, was wondering what food you feed your dogs?

[@parkermaccrate5969]

Hey Stonie, my 8 month old lab is wonderfully obedient despite all previously encountered weather conditions, I’d love to get into search and rescue work but, she bites the water every time I try to let her have a free swim… Do you have any recommendations for that issue?

[@StonnieDennis]

She will stop doing that with a little more experience. Just keep plugging away!

[@jack_batterson]

Is tossing your dog in the water your usual method of getting a dog to feel comfortable swimming? I was thinking of starting with a wading pool or slow creek.

[@StonnieDennis]

You didn’t notice that we were in a creek?

[@jack_batterson]

@@StonnieDennis Lovely spot!

[@tobygrimes5472]

How do you train your dogs to avoid snakes. I lost my GSD to a pigmy rattler in my own yard. It was awful.

[@mikeewing6035]

Look on the internet for rattlesnake avoidance training. Also, check with hunting dog clubs in your area. The training works well. They teach dogs to recognize rattlesnakes by sight, sound and scent.

[@C.Hawkshaw]

In washington state theres a vaccine for rattlesnakes.

[@MSDOGS1976]

Fun episode. Your daughter is so cute. Just think….you will be walking her down the aisle to be married in a few short years. It will seem that way anyway. Ha

[@UlrikRavn]

Hey Stonnie. Our Luna (13 weeks gsp) behaves exactly like Kimber. We have her out running and adventuring and swimming, she is fantastic. We just got back from puppy training and are hearing about restricting and monitoring her activity levels because of bones and knuckles having to grow until age 12 months. I have heard you repeat yourself so many times in your videos about letting the pups get some real exercise and experience. Is this nonsense puppy training we are meeting in our surroundings? Appreciate your work. Thanks

[@StonnieDennis]

Does that make sense to you? Do you think it would be a good idea to limit children’s exercise until their growth plates are closed, which doesn’t happen until late teens/early twenties? Exercise reveals problems, it doesn’t cause problems.

[@StonnieDennis]

Imagine giving that advice to the people who developed the breed. What do you think they would say?

[@logannewman4532]

In this world nobody is going to trust the guy down the street to take their kids places.

[@StonnieDennis]

That’s a shame. We should do something about that, no?
