Puppy Developmental Stages: Episode 4 | Secondary Socialization Period (7-12 Weeks)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Join Uncle Stonnie as he demonstrates the developmental changes puppies undergo during the beginning of the secondary socialization period. In this video we discuss puppy type, puppy socialization, and age appropriate training and socialization activities.
Puppies undergo rapid physical and mental changes between seven and twelve weeks so it's very important for breeders and owners optimize training and socialization opportunities. Remember what Uncle Stonnie always says, "Life is about realized potential!" Be sure to help your puppy realize it's full potential!
We hope you guys enjoy!

I love Black sister..🌻 but all your puppy’s are adorable...at the end of the day it’s about companionship.
Acompanho dos Lençóis Maranhenses, Brasil. Obrigado por todo esse conteúdo. Tenho uma Malinois. Abraço.
What part of Kentucky I'm in central Kentucky
I’m picking up my black male lab puppy fri and he was the last one left out of 9 … but I think he’s gonna be the pick of the litter cuz I’m gonna treat him that way 😊
“The roller dirby queen” 😂😂😂 uncle stonnie s grammar never fails to make me laugh
it never made any sense to me to restrict the puppies exercise. thanks Stonnie for your common sense advise on this!
Thank you Stonnie for all of your excellent advice for working with puppies and living a real life! Stress is good for puppies and people- and going to Church is a good thing:)))) Amen🙏
Thank you for watching!
Gearing up to get a puppy and so grateful to have access to all your content, Stonnie. Thank you for all the work that you do to educate us.
I got a GSD from another trainer in Kentucky a couple years ago. I’m pretty sure I got ripped on 6 months of training. Watching your videos since we got her gave me the confidence to get a Mal puppy and train him myself. He’s 8 months old now and doing awesome! Thanks for making such great content! This is my favorite channel to watch.
I am so glad I found your you tube videos, I’ve watched hours and hours in preparation of picking up our Malinois puppy last week. I cannot thank you enough - one week on we have a 9 week old puppy who has loved everyone he has met, been clambering over whatever is in his way, burrowing under if he can’t climb it - exploring everything and rushing happily back to us when we ask cause I tell him what a wonderful pup he is. Been ‘whooped’ by an older dog as he was a brat and learned a valuable lesson in 2 seconds flat. Inside he is a content, easy (tired!) pup. Quite sure he will test us in weeks to come but I’m well armed - already building my obstacle course! Our future relationship, and his whole life is going to be better thanks to you!
6 months later, how is he?
1 Year later, how is your puppy?
There’s not a bad pup in the litter ...
Love the two laid back girls 💗
I loled when he pulled out the "toy". Out of a half dozen toys my 12wk old gsd will pick a sock out of the laundry over all of them.
Boy the top line abd hind quarter on the pictures you showed of the old dogs is absolutely beautiful a lot of German Shepards nowadays have that Banana shape..that very first picture you put up in the corner was a nice looking dog
100%
Hellll yessssssssss absolutely gorgeous
How dare you, sir. It’s not a “nice looking dog.” It’s a fine lookin’ animal! 😉
... All the puppies 🐶 are beautiful. The lil brindle female is my favorite. 🥰 I enjoy seeing them mature. Fascinating. 🤗✝️ Thank you and the camera lady for taking time to do these videos.
Thank you for watching!
Perfect timing as I pick up my working line GSD in two weeks as a 10wk old!
these videos are so soothing, he reminds me of Bob Ross
You are a very warm and soothing person, it’s very agreeable to listen to you
Stonnie dropping dog AND life knowledge.
Stonnie helped me train my puppy via his online course 3 years ago. Although no dog is perfect, he is super reliable. People are always impressed, especially given a novice trained him at home. Yesterday we brought home our new puppy. I contacted Stonnie to see if he could share the literature and some materials from the course I deleted a while back. He reached out within a few hours and went above and beyond in providing me with his current resources. I can't say enough about his methods, communication and overall service.
Hello Stony,
My wife and I can’t thank you enough for all the quality content you put out on your channel.!
We will be bringing a Silver Lab home shortly and your videos have been so helpful.
We appreciate you !
I’m glad you like our videos!
This was a great video Stonnie. It’s great to be watching the progress through the stages of these pups. Even more better is hearing the knowledge you are giving through all of this. Just fantastic stuff. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
Thank you!
I always find your videos educational, entertaining and challenging. Especially this puppy series. I love the work you have done with these pups. I wish all breeders would prepare their pups like this. Seems like common sense to start the dog off with a good foundation. I'm really looking forward to watching your training journey with your new gorgeous pup. I love getting out with my dog's.
Wonderful work Stonnie!! Much appreciated🤗
Thank you!
Inspired and practical advice - really fabulous channel! Thank you.
My wife and I will be breeding our GSD/Mal mix and Mal later this year, and these videos are setting us up for success to send properly prepared puppies to their new homes. That first boy you showed looked like my male GSD/Mal mix when he was a puppy. That's going to be a damn fine looking dog.
Glad I'm not the only one who's not fond of the skinny nosed dogs out there.
Yeah some Mals/Dutchies are smaller than I would want
Best dog trainer on RUclips, great family and you can have a laugh.
Great job stonnie keep um coming
Thank you!
Always amazed at the people who expect sooo much from their dog and were disappointed yet way more dogs deserved More from their owner and got soooo much less and were disappointed....Great Video Stonnie
I'm getting my puppy tomorrow too - so exited! 🙌. It's been great to follow this mini series while I've been waiting. Can't wait to see what I'm supposed to do next 😄. Good thing Spring is on it's way. So much nicer to be out and about and off on adventure in the sun.
Fabulous direction, Stonnie. I wish I was younger. But I’ll try to adapt these instructions on my Boston puppy this spring. Be blest☦️👩🏻🦳🐾❤️🇺🇸
Hey Stonnie, I'm getting a Hungarian vizsla in 2 weeks so I'm watching these puppy development videos to help me in my research.
I've been trying to research about exercise and running, how much and at what age etc.
I'm looking forward to watching the puppy develop and hear more
Thanks 👍 big fan from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴
Excellent presentation! I whole-heartedly agree.🥰🐾
Another great video. We've been watching your videos for over 3 years and learn from every single one of them. Although it didn't work out for Halo to come to your place (bad plumbing broken pipe under slab!) we built her a small challenges area, have expanded it as she has matured, and taken her on many cool adventures! Keep up the great work, Stonnie!
Thank you for answering all the questions that people is asking me thank you for being my friend thank you for teaching people about dogs
Thank you for watching!
That was an awesome video Stonnie thanks, I never new about the ears and the size of the dog as a gsd lover that is very helpful information thanks again can’t wait to see some puppy sized adventures
Late night video before bed-Thanks Stonnie👍🏽
I can see why Stonnie picked the one he did .. beautiful pup ..! 😍
Everything about this video is perfect... handsome knowledgeable man, handsome dog... love this!
You are too kind!
Thank you for the great videos, I have been doing a lot of environmental social work with my puppy and it’s been great advice.He is doing so well!
I was supprised when my 8 week old puppy LOVED the snow. Now shes 10 weeks old, I cant keep her away from the door and wanting to go outside. The other day it was negative 12 degrees and snowing and I had to take her out because she wanted to get in the snow. My pup isnt this same breed but puppies in generel are hardier than people think. My pup is dalmatian aussie mix. Strong solid dog.
Lots of great advice in this video, thanks. You always reinforce my opinions about dog training. I look forward to seeing these guys outside.
I have a 9 week old rough coated collie and we are inspired by your videos. I am being smart about where I take him to have his small adventures in my town and we got out several times a day for fun and exercise. I have a 15 ft long line when we walk out in the green space so that he can sniff and explore a bit. He is having a great start thanks in large part to you and your teaching.
My girl was the runt of the litter, came home at 6 weeks with ears right up. Shes a german shepherd, and she is easily the smartest dog ive met and the easiest dog ive trained. She was also potty trained fast. Her breeder said she was in love with our girl and wanted to keep her.
Uncle Stonnie, that’s a grand video, which anyone buying a new pup should watch! Many thanks.
too cute. man it's tough to decide on a breed for adventure + sweet companion.
I learned about Mastiff Labrador mix. Mastador. Check them out.
The beard attack was so painfully lovely :3
Great Video! Really shows that there's not a best and worst puppy, there's the puppy with the right qualities for each owner. I currently own a 6 month old female collie that despite being the small one on her litter she's very active and social and growing really beautiful, and my second puppy a 3.5 months old male collie is the calm big (ears down yet) snuggly puppy. I love calmer puppies, they are just like you mention, they can do everything just not too much... which is perfect for me.
I agree with Stonnie! Any single dog from a litter of GSD/Malinois and Dutch shepherd will be plenty of watch/alert dog for almost any normal living situation. They will be on duty 24 hrs a day. Alerting with enthusiasm for any newcomers or evil doers.
Thank you Uncle Stonie😍 I really appreciate all your efforts to educate us. I know my pup is much better (handler) because you care ❤ .
Excellent video. The sensory stimulation is one of the many things that separates a professional from an amateur.
This is truly a unique series on RUclips. I haven't seen anything like by anyone else. I watched the whole series and it is excellent. Thank you for putting this out there for all of us to enjoy while I'm waiting for my 2 week old doberman puppy to age so that I can pick him up at 12 weeks.
Thank you!
I’ve always been a little disappointed that these two series didn’t get much attention.
IMO too often people buy puppies first and then figure out what to do with them. That was the way I did it with my first Doberman 45 years ago. We learned through experience.
Unfortunately experience is a bad teacher because it first gives you the test and then teaches you the lesson. Now we have RUclips, for those that want to learn before taking the leap. Even those of us that have lots of experience can still learn from professionals, like yourself. God bless you.
Dude on Warrior Poet Society and Stonnie look just alike. Has to be kin, or possibly same person. lol, great video, God bless
some beautiful life lessons in here ...unexpectedly a touching video
Big fan of the bitches; mine was the runt that I picked. She was fearless. Thanks for all your work Stonnie. 🤙🏻
Thank you for watching!
An old sock is the best toy. Replaceable and washable and there is always a fresh supply.
LOVE THIS VIDEO! One of my favorites in this series! Thanks Stonnie!
Glad you enjoyed it!
They are so cute and looking awesome.... at 7 wks these videos have been a joy to watch we didnt get pick our pup but we will love him no matter what he comes home in 6wks time. We are so excited and cant wait to take him on our Golden Retriever on adventures. I wish all these pups the best life.
Good luck with your new pup!
@@StonnieDennis Thank you.... your welcome to follow his Instagram as he follows Uncle Stonnie lol and Mr No Name. :-) his account is @kyte.the.adventurer
I love your new dog and look forward to watching him grow into an awesome dog!
Can’t get enough of these puppies!! I’m now gonna make an Instagram account to check out more 😀🐕
Uncle Stonnie, I am very grateful for all the training and knowledge you share with us. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Great closing on “can’t do” society! Have a blessed day!
Don’t care about the negative comments that aren’t legit criticism- you are wise enough to know the difference. No one who treats animals as well as you is a bad person. I also think good teachers have the same qualities as good parents, good pet owners, good people, etc. The species may differ but the heart and soul are the same. I find many are good with more than one type of “critter.”
I am the guy that named my lab Stonnie after you, so why not name him Stonnie or Junior. Great video series.
I take my pup on twice a day daily walks/hikes on and off leash. We meet a few people alone the way but not enough for good socialization. I took him over to a friends house yesterday to play with his dog and they had a great time but again.....I don't get to do this much as he doesn't live nearby. And I really don't know others with dogs. So dog socialization is not always that easy for some of us. But perhaps its good enough as my two previous dogs were well mannered when out and about. My 5 month old lab seems to be coming along well even with limited socialization.
Great coverage of a dogs potential. It is fun to watch a litter and a pups ranking within the litter, then see how the owners have realized a dogs potential. Would be fun to interview some of the pups 3 months from now to see where their rankings are. I bet some are trained to be the smartest while others are trained to be an active athlete, maybe the runt is no longer the runt while others become troublesome and it isn't always the ones that fall into those categories that you would have expected. Kind of where genetics meets opportunity/training.
I had a rut of the litter Dobermann and he was a perfect member of the family. He would let my son lie on him and wouldn't move. He was very well mannered and still barked at strangers coming to the house.
Thank you so very much 👍🏼Just found your channel last week ! We are binge watching and love every video so far .Love your family also, awesome job to everyone! We just got a field black lab puppy from Mill Pond Breeder in Maine and she is wonderful and watching your channel is wonderful and working out great in training and and excerziing our new sweet puppy ! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you!
19:10.....great catch Stonnie !!!.
Wonderful video Stonnie so important to get outdoors and let the dogs be dogs.
Too many puppy parents trying to micromanage their pups.
I personally not a dog person but those pups are adorable. My girls keep asking me for a puppy and I keep saying no to them but for these one I might change my mind. 💓💓💓
I'd like to see you do more vids with Dobermans, smart, sucky and elegant.
Absolutely love the look of the brindle pups.
Puppies are looking great! Love the videos
Thank you!
Re Pick of the litter: yes, I got the runt of the pack, but I maximized her potential. I got her when she was 4.5 months old, and she still lived with mother, father, brother, and 3 other dogs that got her dinner whenever the people didn't pay attention. I have regular contact with her brother and sister's owners, and both of them maximized not even half of their potential. (not a slight to them, just an observation). They wanted a casual companion, and I an active one. When we went on a walk last year they said they expected Marley to outlive both of her siblings.
Catching up with your videos, great, thanks 👍🏴
This is probably my favorite video series. I’ve always been surprised it wasn’t super popular.
Love the part about potential! Both my dogs are rescues and are the perfect dogs for me right now. They go hiking, camping, paddle boarding, roller skating, and more with me. They are perfect active companion dogs, and that's all I need them to be! Loving all these videos in the series because my goal for my next dog is to find a puppy that I can do search and rescue work with. It's been a dream of mine for years!
Do you find it better to have 2 dogs? I have a 1yr old pit and want to get him a playmate so he’s not always looking to me to entertain him!! Since watching these videos I am inspired to do more adventuring but I can’t all the time lol. Just looking for advice don’t want to get in to over my head.
@@karenwalker3756 there are a lot of pros and cons to having 2. I got my second dog when my first one was 5. I had had my first for 3 years and did a lot of training and adventuring with her before I got my second. I wanted to get another younger dog in the hopes that my older one would act as a mentor dog and help teach the new pup how to be a good adventure partner.
As much as I absolutely love both dogs, and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world, there are times I miss just having 1 dog. The biggest adjustment I had to make was making sure I spent a little time training both, even if it's just 15 minutes a day. The other thing I have to say is in my experience, young pitbulls can be very high energy! My older dog who is now almost 7 didn't really start acting mature until she was 5. My other one who is turning 2 in 2 weeks still acts much younger than she is.
I guess what I'm trying very poorly to say is I think it depends on your situation. There are a lot of reasons why I got a second dog, but they're most likely different than yours. I will say that it's nice that they can play with each other and get more exercise that way! I wish I could give you a yes or no answer. I spent a lot of time thinking if adding a second dog was the right decision. Sorry for the long response! I hope this helped some!
beautiful pups and great information
Howdy Stonnie, Enjoy seeing the puppies and the knowledge you're passing on about how to raise and get the most out of each dog as an individual. Perhaps for your consideration the dog you are keeping....Jim Dandy. Have A Day! ;~)
Thank you so much for this video Stonnie. The timing is just incredible for my new family member :D
Powerful truths! Great reminder.
Little domesticated wolves,so cute 😊
Great video! You are a fabulous breeding and trainer !! I shared in about 12 German Shepherd groups. People need to hear this and not put them in a crate so they have their safe place !! I hope I placed my pups with the right owners. I only place them with people whom work from home and love to hike and AREN'T scared of going outside!! I weeded through over 200 people and did some social media stalking 😂and a hour long phone interview. My biggest fear was a person crating my pups 10 hours a day and thinking they train themselves!! My last pup the people didn't come get her when the rest were leaving and she ended up getting carbon monoxide poisoning with me when my furnace malfunction. It effected her heart rate than she seemed more anxious and nervous .The vet said that a side effect from the carbon poisoning. Lilly doing great now but now I going to hang on to her incase there long term effects .
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to getting a malinois
I love all of your videos! But I extra like this one! 😆 I LOVE your advice at the end!!!
Floyd is the best name ever. Nice work on that one.
Stonnie...just came across your U-Tube videos today. They are great & just what I needed! Thank you very much. Learned so much watching, especially the one entitled "secondary socialization" . However kept looking for the first 6-7 wks video of puppies lives (hope there is one) so I can begin early, but I couldn't find it. My female GSD was just bred this week & expecting puppies in May. Am so excited. Want to have them in the best of health, both mentally & physically when I bring them to the breeder at 8 weeks old (he sells the pups as he does all advertising, interviewing the families of their future homes, etc). They are raised in my home instead of an outdoor kennel. Have a nice large whelping box for her & everything I need for the big day. At least I hope I do. What can I do the first 6-7 wks of their lives that would help them to grow.
Thank you so much for your videos,
Annie in Oshkosh
& Schatzi too 🐾🐾
I love Black Sister!!! If we were ready for our farm dog she is the one I would want!!!
Nice series on these little ones. Love it.
This is a wise man.
Thanks Stonnie.
Pup is gorgeous.
Very good wisdom speeled out here. So I subscribed.
Brilliant as ever!
At 7 weeks, the video of one of our puppies-to-be (schnoodle) came across as a goofball who loved attention from humans. At 5 months, he has fulfilled our expectations! He was a bit rumpy pumpy, “stocky” the vet called him. His littermate who we also brought home had and continues to have a very different physique and temperament. He’s slightly taller, angular, leaner and yet heavier, and he’s a bit more nervous. They showed us their personalities in this first video.
Great video Stonnie. Very well said. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Best channel on RUclips !
That female brindle at 5:00 is gonna be a WILD DAWG!!!
You have thought me a lot. Thank you.
Love from Mexico o
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoy our content!
Hhhmmmm, parenting is very similar 🤔. Love your wisdom. Thks.
Thank you Stonnie :)
When do u determine what puppy goes to who uncle stonnie, du u determine that in the matter of weeks or months
Mainly on available time and activity level. I would never put a farm dog with someone who can’t exercise them.
Trust everything is OK after the flooding in those parts!🙏
I’m getting a knpv linebred malinois in 4 weeks 😁😁
Absolutely love the brindle ones!!!! We are currently waiting "for the right one" and ideally want a brindle malinois/dutch/german sheperd cross. GREAT info for what to look out for!
That thumbnail is great, two good looking young boys ;)
