Training Your Labrador Retriever Puppy Part Three

[@andyjame7317]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@bradenmetza1]

Stonnie, I must say I love your way of training. Taking out the "being and showing how you are the dominate one" and introducing more of a respected friendship

[@StonnieDennis]

+Braden Metza Thanks!

[@jackiemuir3117]

Same here Lim

[@brianleeker2899]

Here I am years later thinking the same thing before I decide if I can handle a lab. Got a new puppy waiting for me if I want it.

[@twobitfoodie]

I have my first Labrador and working with her everyday with your videos she is the belle of the ball at puppy training class. Way ahead of the other puppies. Thank you so much for your videos and common sense training. I am so happy I found your videos first!

[@sfish2684]

I just got my ten week old Labrador. After seeing part one and two, I immediately put buddy's dog food in my pocket. I started rewarding him immediately for patience, sitting and good behavior while I cleaned and made breakfast. He let me tie my shoes without biting at them. He let me walk him. If he pulled the leash we stopped and he sat. Then I'd give him a little tug and we were on our way. After a few trips up and down the road he started biting the leash and whining. The food was no longer effective. So I guessed that he was full removed the leash before it became a target, and we stopped training. Instead We came inside and took a nap.

I just got my ten week old Labrador about two days ago and he’s a pure bred black male, I named him buddy ever since I’ve had him I’ve done the same training with him since we live on a farm I take him on walks, feed him treats when he sits and so far he’s been real easy to train and play with.

[@tullycoll]

@@locs9026I got my wee fella two weeks ago, he’s ten weeks now and also black. My daughter named him on the drive home and he also is Buddy! I’m going to start the training I’ve seen on this channel and I’m sure he’ll be open to anything that means he gets some food 😁

[@johnvictor7626]

This is great! A puppy training video that is based on nothing more than good common sense! I think I finally found a video series I'm gonna stick with moving forward with my 3 month old lab. I bought into the whole shock collar thing but haven't used it yet most pups (and especially labs) train so easily at this age. Keep up the good work and keep these videos coming!

[@SwayingWithPalmTrees]

Glad I found your channel. Excellent tips. We are still learning with our lab who will be 2 in December. We did some basic training right from the beginning such as fetch, come, sit, stay, down, paw...he is really good with those and walks on leash nicely. They are really smart. We have a fenced in yard where we play and he's never tried bolting out the door. BUT I don't know what he would do if we were NOT on a leash and NOT fenced in. We are on a semi-busy street so we try to be extra careful. I don't know what he would do IF he got out and we said STOP and a bunny was running by or something. I would hope he would listen. We'll keep watching your videos so we can keep learning so he stays safe. Thanks for the great video. :)

[@mariacarranza7718]

Love the way you train! I am glad I found your videos. I have a 9 month old Lab and she is very protective of our home.

[@heathermartin8248]

Iam so glad i found you're channel my dog is 9 weeks and he is already learning so good so i am really proud of him

[@zzremington]

Got my Black Lab near Shelbyville (Bagdad Ky), I live in Lexington - love your tips Stonnie, have used many of them - love the Bluegrass!

[@mypets1017]

I'm getting two puppies that are labs and this training is gonna help a ton!

[@boatmanbermuda7255]

howis it going?

[@Blum8925]

Love this series! Just getting ready for a pup. Thank you for putting this out there for all.

[@alexcontreras1102]

When he said unless I have a horse in my pocket I'm gonna lose that battle... 2:35 I was rolling😂🤣🤣

[@luckylucky4993]

Your way of explaining is like so creative. I mean we don't have to copy you but understand and do it in our way. Thanks for the video. Live long

[@adaman04]

Guns and training beautiful Labs like that...Stonnie Dennis is without a doubt living THE dream! :D I really enjoy your vids Stonnie, keep 'em coming as you have time!

[@theblazian9075]

the goat was trying to take the treats

[@robertcordon6134]

"ima use these 2 obstacles ... and a goat..." haha i love these videos keep up the good work.

[@Sigshalome]

Robert Cordon My girl has Goats...and yes... i was very happy to know I could replicate this perfectly ahah

[@alysiaredmond]

I dont know if you still read the comments because i realize this is an old video, but if you do thank you. The way you treat and respect the animals you work with was exactly the type of tutorial i was looking for, i paid a lot of money for a personal help with a puppy trainer that was just rough and intolerant. I'm only three videos in with you ( although three videos is more like 2 months in work) and we are a great team already. Thank you again. Also, it may interest you to know your video's are being loved on the other side of the world to you, im currently living in new Zealand :)

[@ac75911]

That Labrador's proportions are perfect. I love the box head labs.

[@OlWolf1011]

Laffin' at that Nigerian buck! SO persistent on that treat sack! 😂 I've often run into "old school" guys telling me you can't run a dog through training till he's 6 mos. old - and I tell them "You've already lost all the period of infancy when their little brains are so malleable!" I start mine as soon as they come in my house as new babies! Items = names - tasks = names - teach them words and what they mean! I start like a human baby and do body-parts, and make a game of it! Labs doing Service work go in and out of doors alongside chairs, and some of those doors close automatically - they gotta be aware of all their body-parts and where they are - including their tails. So body-parts, items of clothing, household items and structures. Then move onto tasks - pulling on command, names of directions (I use mule-terms), cans as opposed to bottles and boxes, etc. "Mine!" = respect my stuff and food. "Gimme ____," = whatever item I name or drop. "Don't Touch!" = because there are items dropped by others in public that smell good but are bad for dogs and Labs are pigs. 😂 That on TOP of all the regular "mind me" stuff you're working on. I keep free-range poultry - my Labs respect them and defend them from predators... they know the eggs in their supper-bowl come from those birds. Like you working pups with the Nigerians distracting, I do my babes starting on a long-line in the birds' pasture. Love your videos! ❤️❤️❤️

[@R3dMoonRizing]

Love the slip lead (show lead) converted to a halter idea!

[@LibertyTree33]

Wow this guy is awesome. Thanks for sharing your professional knowledge with us for the benefit of the dogs. I liked the goats in the training area as well. Thank you sir.

[@robelopezcontreras]

Thank you so much for these videos. I am now "laying the training foundations" for a 12-week-old GSD for Search and Rescue. Although I am a beginning trainer, I hope the dog-human team we are makes the cut. Thank you.

[@aroseamae01]

Been training my lab pup with your tips man, hes 9wks lab/GSD and is doing great!!!! Potty training and leash has been a breeze. Lots of early time in, is a MUST!A

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

Getting a chocolate lab/Chesapeake bay mix here in a few weeks, this is going to help a ton! Thanks :D

[@fairclothretrievers2614]

We are AKC approved with papers we breed & sell Labs in N.C. They are super smart, love kids & very teachable. The weather changes alot but the Labs can live and adjust through most anykind of weather. I love this breed so much.

[@andrewcorbett9653]

molly/ labrador is barking and bites at my young kids when they are sitting down watching tv or walking around the house whats my best way to stop this ? You make it look so easy. thanks andrew new zealand

[@trevorallen5988]

The real OG of this video is that crafty little goat pick pocketing 😂

[@MrSchloenzke]

Bwahahaha... "Unless I have a horse in my pocket, I'm gonna lose that battle." Great videos, thank you. I especially like how you pull that leash with basically two fingers and use very little force.

[@kelly8095fews]

thats a good looking lab!

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks!

[@GorgeousGabbBaby]

Thank you so much for the video series! Ive learned so much, and in turn my lab puppy is doing the same!

[@enjoytheoutdoors101]

Thank you for all your great videos. AWESOME

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks for watching!

[@BenoitFarcy]

My pup is 10 week old, and I'm on the second video lesson you did, I move forward whenever he master everything about the video ? I don't want to rush it, and the lab in your video look older than mine !

[@camdynscott1558]

Great videos and what kind of treats do you use to train the dog?

[@sandrasmith8592]

very cool video I am going to take his advice. thankyou I recently got two lab puppy's can't wait to start

[@randywhatley4118]

Stonnie, what is the length and diameter of the "English Show Leash" you're using?

[@quirkycub1872]

That puppy is adorable

[@jazmine3578]

Great tips Ty. Do we use same techniques for an older lab? And beautiful property you got there I'd love to live like that.

[@StonnieDennis]

Jazmine Yes, but it's a lot tougher. You will have to be very patient.

[@rowinghome]

Hey Stonnie - I like your style. Just starting with a 14 week black lab. She seems really smart so I've got to be on my toes with her! I want her to be a service/companion dog for me so we are taking it slow. She's always looking for something to get in to. Is she just bored??

[@spamero2]

I am getting a goat and this video helped a lot

[@GoodGollyGonzo]

lmao

[@bone_love]

WAIT!!! I need a Goat too....????!!!! I’ve been doing this ALL WRONG 😂

[@sivasankarshakthivel5852]

This looks like the best way... Thank you for sharing...🙏

[@navalukthrasher9269]

Well done, but as an Canadian Eskimo woman, to tether a Malamute would drive my whole dog team into a train wreck. Thanks for the video, as I rescued a Lab/Great Dane puppy. She is very attentive, and sneaky when it comes to my shoes.

[@cameroncarroll5570]

Hey Stonnie. Love the vids. Just got an 8-week old chocolate lab. What type of kibble do you use?

[@naota3k]

3:16 that lil thief! ;D

[@MrLolderp]

I saw the goats and I thought they were dogs at first...lol

[@laceykerns7260]

Question! How do I get a 9 week old puppy to take the treats nicely without biting my hand off just to be able to get through good student week???!!!!

[@gillsir]

Stonnie is the best!

[@60watergr]

Hello Stonnie, first of all thanks alot for your great guiding videos. 2ndly i would like to ask what kind of lab is this one ? english(show) lab or working/american kind ?

[@willeypoboy5607]

Want to say thanks a bunch for the education.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thank you for watching!

[@Leverquin]

is there a video of making / hoe to tie Muzzle with leash

[@ragingryhino5817]

Those ears in the wind lol 😂

[@ravenj4068]

Is it possible to teach a labrador thats already grown (1 year old) to get along with farm animals? My dog just wants to prounce on them and bite them every time he sees them. I got goats and sheeps months after I got them labrador, so she didn't get used to them as a pup.

[@arashi.nakamura]

So I have two dogs, both a year old, and I am having trouble with training with them. One is a Carolina Dog and the other looks like a pit mix. Both are very smart high energy pups. They respond perfect to me, but with my mother they are horrible. Both are very intelligent and know that she isn't "strong" and take advantage with her around. She always says she will work on the training with them so they can see her as more of an authoritative figure, but she's just not. All that happens is she gets frustrated, yells at them, then gives up, and ends on a negative note. They will make major jumps backwards in their training from her walking/taking them out/or just being in the room without me there. In the ideal case she would work with them and get better, but as it stands now, how do keep my progress and keep a positive momentum, with her around them? It's getting to the point where I am really at my limit with how she handles both dogs.

[@alabamamanda75]

What food/puppy treats do you recommend?

[@wakatime]

Hey man, I just got a 7weeks labradkr puppy, and wanted to ask when is the right moment to start training them? And if you have any advice to shorten the potty training?

[@defaultuser8]

thanks man, this vids did some good. bless you and dogs, obviously. and the goats, they are awesome and dont give a F

[@dans9056]

Are you always giving him treats? It almost looks like you dont have anything in your hand sometimes

[@nataliegiordano5645]

THE GOAT IM CRYING

[@ofthamist]

the goat was adorable

[@Rachelizabethompson3]

Couple questions for you Stonnie- love your videos and just wondering at what ages/ how fast progression should be (increase increments between treats). Should we increase weekly or daily daily etc.

[@StonnieDennis]

Rachelizabethompson3 Basically one needs to constantly be moving the bar. Not so far that the puppy will fail, but far enough so that the exercises remain fun and challenging.

[@nova423]

Stonnie Dennis makes so much sense!

[@gillsir]

Loved the video, content, presentation.. really helpful.

[@scootar097]

Any thoughts on the diameter of the leash to start with for a puppy?

[@aluzzee]

What are the treats that you are giving to the dog??

[@supersilli3710]

What kind of dog treats do you use?

[@LightningJake]

which is the food balls u give him?

[@andrewcorbett9653]

hi love your videos what size show lead to you use? our lab is 11 weeks old thanks

[@StonnieDennis]

andrew corbett I'm pretty short, so I like the four foot ones...

[@MultiLhowell]

+Stonnie Dennis how old was your puppy in this video?

[@gregrowh]

Lol@ "so unless I have a horse in my pocket"...

[@NA-su3jk]

I don’t get that constant treat feeding…. Why?

[@RoweWalker]

where's video 2? video 1 and 3 and 4 are here but not 2.

[@origamifox2996]

Anyone notice the random animal trying to get the treats in the background? lel 3:07

[@ofthamist]

"theres a helicopter flying 175tf above the ground" clearly this guys has other hobbies

[@aaronsnell2605]

Could these lab trainings go the same with the german shepherd dog?

[@StonnieDennis]

+aaron Snell Sure thing. But typically speaking GSDs aren't quite as enthusiastic about food work as Labs, so be patient!

[@margiefrazer5532]

I have a question what if u get ur puppy at 5 month

[@shahemmaademmaad3357]

can we do this with pupy 6-7 months???

[@robertcotton1905]

Lol the goats want treats too, you've mastered dogs, what about goats?

[@judysmitherman8994]

I have a Labrador retriever and she won't stop using the restroom in the house what can i do about it

[@ianb1445]

Take her outside. This is user-induced.

How to stop my dog from pulling at the leash

[@alliegiaccone6883]

I was more distracted by the goat than the dog was

[@andrewcorbett9653]

how old should they be before you use the lead like this

[@StonnieDennis]

andrew corbett We start them off with that leash. That's pretty much what I always use, personally.

[@solomonwaqa4381]

Too much treats

[@workinghuntingguarddogsfam816]

what a guy " unless I have a horse in my pocket" .... what about the goat walking around there in the background?

[@punchabunch]

stonnie help ,, I have a bullterrier ..5 months old ... will not walk on lease .. just puts the brakes on hates moving forward ... tried several leads... harness . food every step .. kicking a tennis ball in front of me ..getting no where ..lives inside easy to train ..good girl inside help i'm out of ideas .. loves other dogs and people ... just stuck in the mud

[@possiblemonkey8915]

the goat wants a treat

[@navalukthrasher9269]

goats? love it!

[@danielleiverson8300]

I don't want to interrupt The style that you're using for your dog's leash but you she do use a harness cause if your dog is pulling away and you were pulling the other Then he can Choke. And we don't want that to happen so I just suggest that she's a harness

[@TheWorkingAussie]

That goat!

[@KimBTown]

“... unless I have a horse in my pocket...”

[@dutch971]

Cotton tail rabbits are a 10.
