Labrador Retriever Puppy Search and Rescue Training Part 1

[@haley6502]

This is the most fun I've ever had watching a training video. My kind of method.

[@davedowe6821]

The world does not deserve Stonnie Dennis. But we have him, and I'm thankful.

[@StonnieDennis]

I texted that to my wife; hopefully she will take that to heart!

[@GauravMedikeri]

Hey Stonnie, I started watching your videos when i got my lab pup 4 years ago. Did the obedience training with him & i'm proud to say that he's one of the most well behaved dogs i've had. I think it's your training that made the difference. The best part is that the training doesn't seem forced onto him. We always end on a high note leaving him wanting more. I like that you constantly praise & encourage the dog & never hurt them. You're an excellent trainer & above all a wonderful human being for loving these animals genuinely. Keep up the good work & Kudos on picking a good wife (your other video), ;-)

[@FarmerFpv]

Congrats on such success, I'm having the same success with my Chessie Pup/Chesapeake Bay Retriever watching Stonnie's Videos, this man knows what he's doing. Best of all he genuinely loves doing it!

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

What an amazing human! Even with a 6yo video I’m just in awe of how great you are with this beautiful smart and wonderful pup. My lab was water rescue and had this same super chill personality as a pup, and his entire 15 year life. He LOVED trainings and loved going to work.

[@neisovo8177]

You kinda give me Bob Ross vives but with dogs! I loved your video

[@VeronikaCroft]

I agree!

[@C_Squared]

Every time I see you work a lab I’m very impressed.

[@KnowingDogs]

I have seen hundreds of dog training videos in my career but honestly I enjoyed this as much or more than anything! Beautiful work!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you!

[@all_4_paws797]

I love the way that he talks to the puppy.

[@ashleym5000]

I need this level of supportive teaching in my life🤣.

Some videos I gotta watch twice. So cute those little fellas,real nice 😊 workout,love it

[@danielhall2870]

Oh this is just brilliant! Breath of fresh air!

[@nicke6394]

You are an absolute master in the art of dog training. It’s a pleasure to watch 👌🙌

[@ritacaoey]

I don't have a dog to train but I came here after doing forensics homework on HRD dogs. I had to search for more videos of these adorable dogs being such good boys! The Paul Bunyan bit got me ahaha

[@FarmerFpv]

I just finished watching all 3 of these videos yesterday and I'm watching them all over again already. Just seeing you get more and more attached to Holmes every second, goes to show how fantastic of a job he will do because he loves working hard for Uncle Stonnie. :) Holmes is just too precious! Hard to tell if he is a show line or a field type lab? He kinda looks like a mix of both. Again thanks for taking the time to make these videos, so many of us really appreciate you, Sir!

[@kitcatsmom]

I'm not sure who impressed me more on that log!

[@ohighogrows2292]

Thanks for all of your videos. I've had plenty of dogs but this is the first time I've had a puppy. It's great to be able to have some kind of a reference. Thanks again!

[@benstevens6634]

This video is training me to be such a good dog

[@kg5nja693]

I dont own a dog but would like to some day soon. What I like about watching your videos is how you give the dogs praise. I could be wrong but I think the dogs understand it. Great video Thank you for taking me along

[@reneecopeland1095]

I enjoy watching every video you produce. I learn something every time. You help me w the 1 yr old toy poodle and I'm sure this will help w the 10wk old toy poodle I will soon have. Your videographer & your son do a great job too! Thank you.

Good luck!

[@labradorphobospathfinder]

Thank you!

[@tomsgorky3617]

Is it for cadaver or live saving?

[@labradorphobospathfinder]

Toms Gorky I train her to found victims alive.

[@tomsgorky3617]

Labrador Pathfinder have you trained her to identify the victim? Is it for USAR or avalanche?

[@brianfuller5868]

Awesome video. I have a friend in California who trains dogs. He says only a small percentage of dogs will ever be SAR. Most dogs are very uncomfortable about heights/ unstable surfaces/tight spaces.

[@StonnieDennis]

That's probably a fair assessment. Early training raises that percentage exponentially though.

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Excellent video,love your labragoat!

[@briimarie2218]

I fond it crazy stonmoe is bare foot during all this haha

[@mark2727]

Very impressed with your training a special service dog. I am hoping to find a service-therapy dog for my son who's developmentally challenged & has epilepsy. Lab's are the best when they are trained properly. I hope to get some tips by watching your videos so I can effectively train & work with my son's dog when I adopt one from our local Lab rescue.

[@kajdabeagle6588]

Absolutely awesome as always, please carry on... :-)

[@amberblyledge7859]

I have an Aussie lab cross that I would love to try and have him be a search and rescue dog. It would be an excellent mix with my EMT training and we live right by a national forest. He just got his third set of parvo shots and I am probably going to take him to the forest in a week or so. Although I have my own land to work on too.

[@marco1219]

To train a search and rescue dog, what should you look for?

[@jbrandona119]

“Labragoat” got me to sub 😂

[@elitespaceace3409]

Hey what’s that nifty vest thing you’re wearing?

[@technicallyedible7272]

Is there a training-related reason for the trainer having bare feet? Stupid question I know, but curious if it is an intentional decision with relation to the training. Great Vid! Thank You!

[@emilymontgomery9692]

Hi Stonnie, After I graduate from college with my nursing degree, I’m wanting to join a search and rescue team and get a German Shepherd. I am from Kentucky too, and I was wondering if you could point out any places for me to take my puppy to, as to expose them to the environment that is typical for rescue work? I am from Nelson County. Thanks.

[@StonnieDennis]

A lot of people have been asking about SAR. I think I’ll do a new series!

[@brianskyberg]

Hello Stonnie Dennis! What are you feeding your dogs as you train them? Thank you for doing these videos!

[@The_Greedy_Orphan]

Just curious, you're very good at training intelligent dogs like retrievers, now I'll be honest I havnt gone through all of your videos, but is it possible to do the same with small restless dogs like West Highland terriers or more docile dogs like pugs?

[@woohooivan]

The Hungry Orphan Anything is possible but just remember different breeds for different needs!

[@TrentScottPMESPORTINGGOODS]

Hello I have a quick question. What is your go to treat during training? Could you provide the brand of treat as well? Thanks a bunch

[@MichaelsPwner]

Trent Scott their normal kibble. Cut out a portion of kibble from their diet to be used as training treats.

nice treat vest sir, seems very convenient for the owner . may i know where can i also buy that type of treat vest?

Does the food u r giving the dogs count as part of their food for the day

Yes he talks about that on another video.

[@kasieream5977]

How old is the puppy? And which strain of labrador retriever makes a better SAR dog? And does any dog breed make a better SAR dog than a lab?

[@commonsenseandreason2492]

Is that an English Lab?

[@judyjustus4483]

Yellow lab

[@amberblyledge7859]

I was worried that my puppy was lagging behind. Apparently not. He pretty much has all the training he can have at this stage. He's still a little spooked about heights, but we have Up Off Under Over Through In Out Sit Down Stay (is iffy) Wait (sometimes iffy) Be Gentle Spin Come And a few more that aren't worth mentioning. Now when I say we have it, I mean he has at least a basic understanding of it. Not polished necessarily. Especially stay, though I think that may be a maturity thing as he is only 12 weeks. His best are Up, Off, Sit, Down, Through, Load up (get in the car), Come, and Be Gentle.

[@lisamanson4937]

There is no damn way I'm giving my dog a treat every two feet.

[@StonnieDennis]

I don’t think you understand the nature of reward progression; two feet then four feet, then eight feet, then sixteen feet, then ten yards, then twenty yards, then forty yards, then every football field, etc…

[@policemurugan6267]

hi,my black lab puppy is 1 1/2 month old it did not obey my words what can i do????

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

Wonder if he would do what you want if you didn't have treats.

Yes, after he reaches the habituation threshold.

Can a lab give biryh without mating

[@commonsenseandreason2492]

nevermind

[@CitizenJournoTN]

What about when the treats run out, and then you want him to do something?

How to stop my labrador from pullingat leash and stop trying to eat my pet rabbits

[@chiefcamon]

Use a prong collar. and feed him your pet rabbits

[@kingfilms8127]

Delta S1x it would harm my dog

[@chiefcamon]

King Films8 no it won't. Look up some videos on it. The new style prong collars have rounded edges, check them out.

[@labradorphobospathfinder]

Training. Every dog needs different type of training, consult with a dogtrainer, who will help you.

[@user-lb6mm8di8m]

Teach him the heel position sitting and practice walking loose leash indoors getting him to sit before he starts pulling, it'll take awhile to be able to walk loose leash for the entire walk but repetition is key! No need for a prong collar just encourage and redirect with treats. work on getting his attention when you're out so he looks to you for guidance
