Are you a fan of my training style, but can’t travel to Kentucky to see me in person? No worries! I offer an awesome online dog training course, which includes access to an array of exclusive videos and content, personalized coaching, journaling, and in-depth mentoring and evaluation by yours truly! If you just need some an advice or have a couple questions you need answered, I also offer professional consulting by the hour. Both of these great services can be found here: www.kentuckycanine.com Thank you all for your remarkable support over the years! I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your appreciation and patronage of this channel, my training style, and my kennel. Always remember, it’s a great day for a puppy-sized adventure!
The take-away here, there's more to being a leader than to simply lead. The leader needs to be able to read who he's leading, conditions, level of experience/confidence in those being led, and be willing to improvise, adapt and overcome with the right motivation to achieve the objective at hand. Look at all those good dogs! Years ago, I'd've been a Sister AND Henry loving dog. At 64, Moose is more my speed. Always a pleasure, Stonnie. God bless you in your efforts, thank you for sharing with us.
Willing to improvise - I’m so glad someone mentioned that. Stick to a rigid rule book and that doesn’t teach a dog how to cope with life. So many variables in the world aren’t there?
I love how you break down dog training. It's been helping me understand why I do things I do. It helps me also have better perspective! Thank you again
Always learn something new. I have a standard poodle and I’m learning that training her is a different experience. I really appreciate and feel blessed that you have the poodle. Helps me a lot.
Love seeing the little shorthair! I grew up with them and they are my dad’s favorite breed, so I always get excited to see one in your videos. It’s always interesting seeing the differences in the different breeds and individuals, and how being consistent can look different with different dogs. Great video! Appreciate it! 😊
Our Goldadorahoula is consistantly the Queen of the Sweeten the Deal Club. Love the new additions to the course!!! You have truly helped us in teaching Aurora the way. Now it's Tali's turn!!
Quick question, what do you treat your dogs with while you’re walking them round the course ? Great content and always feel like a learn a lot watching your videos, thank you !
Stonnie, I really like the addition of the logs to the small challenges course. Great idea and a great proprioception challenge/lesson. I use logs as "balance beam" obstacles when we're in the woods. Often I'll turn around and see one of my dogs crossing a creek by way of a fallen log and it makes me happy i got them comfortable with walking on logs.
Thank you for this uncle Stonnie! I have an 11 week old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and I really needed to be reminded of this. He reminds me of the GSP puppy Cash 😅
Fantastic video thanks! Nice to see the modifications for the sensitive souls. My pup got a bur in her eye and needs eye drops for the first time. Shes super sensitive and ran away and hid when she saw the bottle. Dried liver treats were not sufficiently enticing. We sweetend the pot with fancy dutch cheese and now eye drop time is acceptable and becoming fun. If the job is tough and uncomfortable you gotta pay top treat!
Such excellent content. Your video on characteristics of different lab pigmentation was fascinating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Canada Lab
Hi there, I’m new to your content and finding it really helpful, we just got a new puppy & I want to start off on the ‘right foot’. Can you share where you bought the fine, rope leads that you use please? Everything I see is much thicker. Thanks
Thanks for this video. I have a half Catahoula, half lab and she's my sweetie. I have trained her using your methods. She has definitely improved and I am so proud of her. I would like for her to help with deer hunting. I would like for her to be able to track a shot deer that runs off. I am trying to get her used to gun shots now. But I'm not sure how to teach her to track deer. Could you do a video on teaching a dog to sit still in the stand then tracking after the shot, in case the deer runs? Also, retrieving dove and rabbits without biting into them would be a great help too! Thank you for all you do.
I’d say it’s the art of using the right balance of scientific principles depending on the variables. Definitely slightly different from dog to dog and day to day. Like with my dog after a night of rain her nose won’t leave the ground at all! Yet on a warm dry evening she just wants to run and run!
Stonnie, have you ever worked with a dog that can't swim? I read something recently about an owner having to rescue his dog from the swimming pool before the dog drowned.
Stonnie, what is your opinion on crate-training and how long that stage should last roughly? If it would depend on the breed/personality/etc. of the dog, how so? I heard today from a competition lab breeder today she crate-trains for a year? I thought that was very long, no?
And going from the short term memory to long term memory. Like that gap, usually around week 3 or 4 in group classes, where they look at you like what does sit mean?
Manage your expectations and don’t expect perfection. Otherwise it’s not fair to the dog or yourself. Even the best guide dog has doggie needs, and is not a machine. Always read your dog, every subtle attempt to communicate and value what they are trying to say (in their own way!). Communication always goes both ways.
Can you recommend Lab puppy dealers in your area? We want to purchase two females, English or Sporting, later this winter. We would drive to your location from Arizona. We know that Labs are everywhere for sale but we want healthy puppies with solid disposition. We are two old seniors who have had many pedigree dogs in the past. Our last one passed two years ago. Thanks.
Great video. Really good-looking shorthair pup. The three great things: consistency, persistance, and fairness. So true. Where do you get that great set of stairs/ramp up to your 4 wheeler?
Hey Stonnie! You got any pearls of wisdom for Beagle training? 😊 I got 2 beautiful Beagles and am working on leash manners but dang if they don't just want to go off sniffing around.
My Catahoula/lab mix will listen for a while, but then seems to get tired of it and just do what she wants. Every morning we walk around our 6 acre property then go back to our gazebo and do some command training. Everyday she'll sit, shake, lay down, stay and come. But she'll only come, on command, twice. I can't get her to come on command a third time. She's basically done at that point. Lol. Anyway, I'm trying to get her to do a third time daily but she'll turn her back to me or start playing with something. Maybe I should let that go and just do it twice. I don't know.
Sometimes I think my poodle is weird, she's not a picky eater, doesn't have runny eyes and is very easy to train. Maybe it's good/different genetics since her ancestors were brought over from Europe in the 1990's.
George is a Golden Retriever who happens to be light colored. "English Cream Golden Retriever" Is not a breed -- it is a marketing scheme for unethical breeders to sell pups for a premium price. Just like the "doodles"-- the more we repeat these lies, the more people will be deceived. "Doodles" are poodle mixes, and Golden Retrievers are Golden Retrievers, no matter if they are dark golden or light golden in color.
"In recent years there has been a sharp increase in internet marketing strategies aimed at specifically promoting cream-colored Golden Retrievers. These light dogs are sometimes being presented to the general public as being exceptionally rare or extremely valuable and are often called ‘English Cream Golden Retrievers’ or ‘Rare White European Golden Retrievers’ or ‘Exquisite Platinum Imported Golden Retrievers’. Such cream Golden Retrievers are frequently being touted as being healthier, of having better temperament, of having stronger longevity and the implicit suggestion is that they therefore are more valuable than the more golden-colored Golden Retrievers bred in North America. Due to these common marketing ploys the average puppy buyer sometimes mistakes such light-colored Golden Retrievers for being a separate breed. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is only one Golden Retriever breed, governed by the breed standard endorsed by various recognized Kennel Clubs around the world." From the GRCA (Golden Retriever Club of America) website.
@@StonnieDennis The breed standard does not preclude light colors. It says, "Predominant body color which is either extremely pale or extremely dark is undesirable." Undesirable means it likely wouldn't do well in a dog show setting, but it doesn't mean it isn't allowed. The problem with "English Cream Goldens" is the lie that people believe and think they are paying more money for a "rare" or special dog. All Goldens are special dogs :)
Cream golden retreivers are acceptable in england - cream goldens in america come from imported cream goldens from england, i.e. english cream. An english cream isn't necessarily from an irresponsible breeder, but they are popular here now. So , as always, just do ypur research on the breeder. Not everyone breeds for show, some people just want to raise healthy pets.

Uncle Stonie with another awesome video! This was great! More of these types of videos, with the different breeds of dogs please ✊
15:56 I really think the Cream Retriever deserved a treat for going through the tire on his own initiative. A go getter! 😂
Brilliant, thank you. Clear, real dog training. I love the approach and try to utilise it "consistently and persistently" in my training.
Thank you uncle Stonnie

Great advice, my lab feeds off of me just by my tone and expressions.
Mine too - hand movements, whistling etc I barely have to use English apart from saying her name.
So true tone goes a long way❤ same with the look 👀❤❤❤
@@beastinblack4055I love this ❤. It's great training for those breed prone to going deaf ❤❤❤❤

Hi Stonnie, come to India for a visit. We love you and your dogs.
Hello there, I’m sure it has been asked before but what training treats are you using? Thank you
Stonnie, Did Toby Keith leave the kennel? I love and learn so much from the videos. I have a 7 month old black lab now!!!!
Yeah, he’s back down in Florida.
This doesnt just apply to dogs, it applies to life. 😅👍
Definitely

Any information/opinion would be appreciated! I searched crate in your videos for previously supplied info and nothing came up. Thanks.
And going from the short term memory to long term memory. Like that gap, usually around week 3 or 4 in group classes, where they look at you like what does sit mean?

The three great things: consistency, persistance, and fairness. So true.
Where do you get that great set of stairs/ramp up to your 4 wheeler?
Just grabbed it off of Amazon. Pretty good for occasional use, but not durable enough to last very long around here.
I've only had 4 dogs, two pure breed and two mixed breed. All of them have been or are good dogs. Maybe it has just been luck.
Hey Stonnie! You got any pearls of wisdom for Beagle training? 😊 I got 2 beautiful Beagles and am working on leash manners but dang if they don't just want to go off sniffing around.
Accept them for what they are and enjoy every minute!
Beagles - get the scent run off and make lots of noise!! :D scent games are the golden ticket for hounds
Another thing to consider (in the intro) is your dog male or female? Maybe it's on the front edge of a heat cycle.
What type of reward treats do you usrř
My Catahoula/lab mix will listen for a while, but then seems to get tired of it and just do what she wants.

Slightly off topic... but what trousers (pants for the americans) are you wearing Stonnie?
Sometimes I think my poodle is weird, she's not a picky eater, doesn't have runny eyes and is very easy to train. Maybe it's good/different genetics since her ancestors were brought over from Europe in the 1990's.
👍🏽
Be consistent yet, gracious to your dog. They're only huma...well you're not perfect either😂🙃
Is this puppy exclusive.
I have a 12 month old rescue that we got at 8 months old. This dog had no puppy training so we are starting from scratch.
The Poodle at the end is four years old.
Dog and horse training is exactly the same.

You can say the same for fox red and champagne Labradors both are technically yellow
I have seven dogs and they hate water🥹

Not when you are persistent with puppy dog eyes and the owner finally gives them a treat….
