Training Your Labrador Retriever Puppy Part One
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2014
- In this video, I give some recommendations concerning the proper way to start training a Labrador Retriever. Notice how calm and attentive this eleven week old puppy remains while I film. Too often, novice trainers fail to realize the importance of developing proper work ethic and impulse control during the imprinting stage. I promise that if you will hold your pups to a high standard when they are young, it will make the whole process as easy as buttering bread!

These comments are proof that people don't listen. These aren't treats he's giving this puppy...in fact he went on about a 90 second trail about how you should NOT use tons of treats to train your puppy. What he's using is the puppy's regular food. About half of his daily food. In fact if you're using any amount of training treats to train your puppy, you're feeding yours more than he's feeding this one. I stole this technique from him, and it worked beautifully with my black lab puppy. I also would mix in a few actual training treats as well, just because. A little advice-before you write a comment that is going to make yourself look like you have the cognitive ability of a 5 year old, you might wanna make sure you're assessment of what's going on is accurate.
Jake Johannesen Thanks! Those kinds of posts are the worst thing about RUclips...
Amen brotha! I was thinking the same thing
my thoughts as well

@@StonnieDennis I want to thank you for making these videos! you were the first video that popped up when I googled how to train your lab puppy. and I'm so glad you were the first one to pop up! my dog storm is 2 years old now and I have people coming to me and asking where did you train her! And I just smile and I say I've watched a handful of videos from this man name stonnin Dennis you should look him up. people are amazed of how storm is so well-trained! I don't need a leash to walk her which I do keep her on just in case because I don't trust other people's dogs. Don't get me wrong she's still young much more she needs to learn. but goddamn if it wasn't for your videos I don't think storm would be the dog she is today!
Mcmillian is incredible! We watch his show lucky dog and can't believe what a selfless helping person he is. The book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfKlzfzw0sMZ_RgZNzMeOPu6d4b5i5XWl has his training methods from both the show and new tricks i had not heard until i got the book. Simple dog psychology and pointers to make the methods stick. Great insight to the thinking of dogs. There is so much more we know now about our dogs. Fear in training no longer apply. I cannot say enough about this book and it's author.
I have been using thisas a handy reference book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq . I read through the book and enjoyed the little glimpses of examples. I love that this author believes in rescue dogs. The tips and training has been invaluable and gave me moments of.... "how simple why didn't i think of it" so it's been a great tool. Thank you!
Followed your technique with my 10 week puppy and she responded GREAT! She was a naughty, overexcited puppy but now she sits when she's supposed to, and is more calm. Thank you so much for the great tips!
What have you done to control that behaviour? Cause im having the same problem.
and now? 5 years later
@@hatorihanzo3431 how is your dog now?
You give me hope
Too many lies
I know this comment is way late but I watched these videos before I actually got a black lab puppy. It has been awesome and my dog "River" is the envy of all my friends that have dogs. He is such a good dog. Thank you so much for your time and professionalism Sir.
Tip on using ration to increase treat repetition is BRILLIANT. Why didn’t I think of this? I’m using it now, and it’s freaking working. Love this dude!
I must say, we got our 7 week old lab and today is day 4th with her and this technique has worked wonders. I started watching the series a few weeks prior and now I’m just going back through to make sure I didn’t miss anything. She’s already following commands such as sit, down, come and potty. Thanks for taking the time and teaching us a good way to work with our lab puppies.
God, i have a lil 3 months old Labrador, I've started this method 3 hours ago and, by feeding him only when he succeeds and listens to me, he seems to already understand "Sit" and "Up" ! Like, in 3 hours, already understanding that ! That is awesome ! Thank you a lot !
I will try to make him understand when I wave my hand he has to do a certain thing.
Prototype, dogs are very smart, all they need is; patience, practice and perseverance.
@@johnpatriarca823 yes, and discipline.
With my last german shepherd, I would do a quick 15 minute training session before his meals. He picked the basic commands up quick.
I’m about to get my self a 8 week lab. And with every video I watched so far all they do is give them treats non stop just for being a dog. But this guy actually understands why you should give them treats. Thank you as well just for this little video because as soon as I get my pup home first thing I’m gonna do it try to teach her to be calm if I’m not giving her attention.
I don't even have a dog
omg same 😂😂
Same
SAME but I will get one
Same
😂😂
I just came across your videos and oh my gosh I love how you treat the pupups! You're so down to earth and not overly "I Must dominate this dog to show it whos boss!" You make it fun for them and I love that!
Zak cough
I have watched this video and the other videos in this series several times. I have a nine week old lab puppy that I have begun training using your methods. Although it has only been a week, he is already following this pattern of stand, sit, wave, and down. I just want to say that your videos are pure puppy training GOLD! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with us. I hope to be able to come to one of your training courses and perhaps use your online puppy course in the future.
Stonnie Dennis I adopted my first lap pup over Memorial Day weekend and have been following your advice. Everyone has ben telling me how well behaved our pup is and the Vet just told us he was the most well behaved 4 month old puppy they've ever seen. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Stonnie, I got myself a black lab puppy Gypsy that is 8 weeks today. Love your videos and I have been watching them in preparation for her coming home. We are at day three and she is doing great. We are still in good student week and we are having fun.
Love your training philosophy, great video

thank you for this Stonnie! This and all your other Labrador and DOG in general training lessons have helped me a bunch with training my new 10 week old black lab Oli! Evie xx
Omg thank you so much! This pup is learning now! So excited for us
Love these old Stonnie videos
Ahhh man…your video brings back fond memories of years gone by… I love my labs ❤️ they’re smart puppies
i finally i got a lab puppy
How's yours coming along? I'm picking mine up next weekend, and I'm BEYOND excited
WouldYouJust _ Getting one sometime this year :). Just need to wait for the babies to come 👌
I want one too :(
Great : )
@JOEY BABOON I have a 10 week old lab puppy, I've had for a little over a week. I'm trying to train him, it's starting to understand commands such as sit and come. But he doesn't always like to listen. Sometimes when I try to get him back inside he ignores me. He likes his kennel, but when I try to get him to go in willingly he doesn't, like he knows what's about to happen. And advice, tips, or training that you did?
Very solid videos, Stonnie. Just watching your channel has helped me tremendously. Thx!
Thanks Stonnie! This series is what I send all my clients!
Great training tips. Love your videos
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. Slowly but surely working with my new lab puppy.
This Guy knows his stuff!! Brilliant
Wow! I just watched this video a few hours ago and my 11 week old lab puppy is already listening so much better! Sweet, simple techniques ! Can’t wait to watch much more of your videos
Picking up our first dog in 2 weeks : a white lab.
Glad I came across these videos. Will be very useful. Thanks.
So happy to have found your lab puppy series. I have an unruly 4 month old lab.
Just bought my second lab puppy yesterday he’s 7 weeks old. Thank you for these methods I’ve tried a lot for my first lab and she a great house dog. I’m eager to use your training on this one.
stonnie! getting my little yellow lab this weekend. watching your videos, the way you break them down, makes me feel like I might be able to raise a great dog, thanks. good student week starts in 3 days.
I have a 9 week old black lab! Awesome videos and so far everything is going awesome with my Bronn!
You sir, are the man. Very helpful stuff.
thanks Stonnie! Beautiful lab!
Our lab boy is coming home on July 24th! Here beforehand to get some tips and learn a bit. Thank you so much, this was simple and thorough
I'm getting a Labrador retriever. He's 5 weeks old at the moment, I'll be taking him home once he's 8 weeks old. He's a beautiful little black dog called Monty. I can't wait to start training him following your methods! Your puppy looks so happy to be doing it, which I realise now is the main thing!
Great advice!!! ❤️👌 this is genius!!! Best puppy video I’ve ever seen!!! So real!! So intuitive!!! I love this!!! ❤️🙏
3 mins in and i love this vid , never thought about feeding like that
This guy makes great videos. Super helpful and explanatory.
Look at you, you look so young.
I love your work Stonnie.
There is no hope for my dog... I think she's part donkey.
Lmfaoooo

I had a dog like that so I sympathize, always said she was a major pain in the *** but she was my dog and I loved her. I used to train horses, even got my cats to do "tricks, " but I gave up trying to teach this dog anything. She wouldn't lead, wouldn't come, wouldn't fetch or share toys, respond to praise or treats. She was super dominant (G. Shepherd, Sharpei, pitbull mix!) and was 2-1/2 when I got her from Humane Society. I finally gave up and just enjoyed her for what she was---super loyal, slobbery kisser, and extraordinary guard dog. The price she paid was that we couldn't go for walks, to the dogpark, or even to the vet. She died a few months ago an extremely happy dog but had cancer at 11 yrs old.
@@lindabrown8795 We acquired an american.pit and an amstaff that some young people tried to ruin . It was a long ,ardourus , uphill battle to get them back to a civilized state. My husband would only walk them after dark as they were so I'll bahaved and he was ashamed to be seen walking such I'll behaved canines .There were the first dogs he ever really had, needless to say the learning curve was very steep , but they became loyal loving well behaved , for the most part, but as you say no dog parks.They have both passed one from heartworm complications , one from old age at 15, loved them both dearly.
What kind of dog do you have?
Such a great video. We are about to get our first lab puppy and will defiantly be trying this out! Thanks!
I’m back five years later re watching and refreshing as we welcome our new lab puppy this friday😁
Watched this three years ago man did this help me as like a base form of training all i needed was the give dog food and the give treat for being still man my dog is the best! Thanks brother man 😎 this should work on mostly all dogs
Just started this series. We just got our lab puppy he is 7 weeks old. We've started simply thing food prices for coming to us, responding to no, and just paying attention. He sleeps most of the time now lol so its sporadic. But I really want to work through your series I love your style of training! Best video I've watched since we got him and deciding how we want to train him!
Needed this as I worked from home. My puppy keeps going into negative behavior loops to get attention. Going to incorporate this into our training!
Yeah this is the style of training i have used to great success. I don’t feed my pups from a bowl it all goes in the training pouch and i use this method throughout the day the bonding it creates is amazing and you don’t get an over fed pup.
Hi just want to thank you for a great video. I really enjoyed and learned a lot. Keep the excellent work up!
Outstanding training video. Thank you!
Very useful video . Not like others . Straight to the important points . Clear .
Thanks for the efforts of this videos .
Thank you for this content. Very helpful for training our lab pup
Hey Stonnie this is a really great video thanks for the tips. I just got a lab puppy and I’m looking forward to competing your series.
getting my lab next week and he's jyst under three months. can't wait to see those hints evolve into a trained smart dog. I had a desert dog years ago and they're not famous for being smart. I figured getting a lab would help out lots more as they're quit smart as is. I'm glad I caught this channel on RUclips.
My wife and I are getting a lab soon looking forward to using your training videos to help train our incoming pup.
My puppy is ten weeks old and I fell into the “puppy blues “ badly. I feel very inadequate. Watching this and idk, I hope I can do this like you.
This pup is the dream of my husband and kids and I’m trying so hard 💛
I just got a balck lab my first dog I found your instruction very helpful
awesome! I need to use these tips in future to my 7 week old black lab.
I like your relaxed but yet effective style! Getting my first Labrador puppy soon. Keeping busy watching your videos in the meantime. Thank you for showing the way. 👍
I just got one also! They are so shy lol
@@nono-px3ot Lots of play and fun ahead of you I'm sure. Best of luck!
I like the idea of keeping 50% of the food for treats. We started giving our almost 2 year old his food for "treats" about a year ago but never thought about using 50% of it for treats. We will do that from now on. Thanks for this great video.
Melody & Ric Schafer how did it work out?
2 year old dog or what ?
I LOVED THIS VIDEO GOOD INFORMATION
We just got Chanel yesterday and she’s as sweet as can be. And of course she’s the prettiest black lab 💜
I got my first dog as an adult. You are calming me down on my training. I have been researching and trying to learn for a long time. Now Im trying to implement to much to soon. I don't need competition obedience but I like the idea of a consistently obedient dog. Im only watching your videos from now on.
Relax and enjoy the process!
Great explanation, thank you!
easily the best videos on training dogs. learned a lot. don't have a dog yet, but this is great. thank you sir. no one comes close to you
You are too kind...
Im sure you’re giving amazing advice but all I have taken from this video is that you have a really cute lab
WOW!!! Great video and great ideas!!! Thank you
After researching dogs for a couple of years I spent another year looking how to train it before we even got a puppy by watching 100's and 100's of videos before bed every night. We now have a 6 month old chocolate lab we have been training for about 4 months and solely thanks to you 'good student week' I have the best behaved dog around. His name is Benson and I would love to share a video you with Stoney because you are the reason behind it! I just wish we could bring Benson to you for a few weeks of training to really consolidate and master some of the skills but your half way around the world 😅
Anyway, just rambling on now, thank you again and let me know how I can send you a video!
Brilliant... on the money..
Bacon. You can teach a dog to do ANYTHING with a few bites of real bacon. Come to think of it, so would most of us guys.
Grandpa the Grey can they eat bacon?
ღBerrychiღ yes they can
The grease and salt on bacon is really bad for a dogs heart
I’m not a professional but I don’t recommend feeding bacon to dogs at all
@@zoethelynx_625: Nobody loves their fur babies more than I, and I totally understand your concern; however, animal fat doesn't effect a dogs heart the way it does their humans. Just the opposite. Nature designed K-nines to eat meat & fat. It's healthy for them. Salt in moderation will not harm a dog either. The vast majority of salt a dog might consume passes straight out through their urine.
@@nerblebun
Okay,, but you’ll never expect me to feed my dog some bacon. I’m not one too feed a dog table scraps any ways. The best stuff they’ll ever get is some nice dog treats and a lot of love
But thanks for the knowledge! I appreciate your wisdom :)
We just adopted a yellow lab puppy to be a companion for our son/family dog. Thank you for the lesson
Really getting into your videos. Picking up a black lab pup in January. Surprising kids!
getting a lab soon gonna teach him some of these thanks for the help
This is an awesome video! Listen to this guy!
Heading out to pick up our new black lab puppy, Millie! Planning to follow Stonnie's tips... watch this spot 😁
Nice. To see Alan from the hangover has straightened himself out
Brilliant advice
Great video!
Thanks!
Utterly superb this boy
Stonnie Thank you so much for all your video's it's a big help! god Bless your sou l- Mike
Good info and solid video .
Hey Stonnie I think that you have a great channel and was wondering what kind of treats you feed your dogs
This man knows his business, that dog is 100% focused on you.
We just got a chocolate lab named Henery. Your videos are very informative. Thank you.
Another great video. Question, what treats are you using Stonnie?
I trained my 7 week old using a ball. Trained her off leash. The ball was a great motivator.
Great video for the new black lab I got
you have swag
Hey Stonnie..LOVE your videos. I trained a lab over 14 years ago...It WAS SO HARD!!!! I just got a new lab puppy and I discovered you! PRAISE GOD!!! His training is going so simply and beautifully. THANK YOU!!!
and I have a question. What leash are you using...brand, size? I just received a An English slip leash today..it seems SO BIG compared to what you have and for my puppy. THANK YOU for your response.
Your instruction videos are really cool! :-)
Love this.
I adopted a 3 year old brown labrador and hes the greatest. I slowly got the hang of training using clickers treats and patience. He improved so much over a short span of time and learned alot of behaviours thats expected from dogs, and even went beyond doing tricks like standing on back legs or rolling over.
But using food for training was not very effective. It seemed as he saw the daily food as FOOD, and would allways be too stressed to train the tricks we wanted using food as treat. And i did try it while he just ate, and after exersize aswell, so he was drained and not starving. Im no professional but using seperate treats, purchased or sosage(i know high in salt, so in small doses) is what works best for us.
I do like the thought behind it tho, and if i ever get a pup i will definetly try it out. Great video btw, i like your theories
I’ve not had a dog since 2014 and I’ve moved houses twice since 2015 so getting a dog hasn’t really been easy but I’ve eventually convinced myself to get one and I’m waiting until later in the year and I’m trying to decide between a Black Lab or Chocolate but I want to be able to train it and this has helped to get an idea on how to do it so thanks 👍🏻
Most choc are show/english lab. black can be both working/field/american or show/English.
Personally i’d go for any colour over choc. Get from hip/elbow scored health tested parents if a breeder has multi generations of the dog to see and is picky who they sell to you are on the right track
I'm so happy I'm getting a chocolate lab in 2 weeks and I'm so excited
I'm bringing home a little black lab girl next weekend, on the 25th. I'm going to eat sleep and breathe this series!! I got my last dog when I was young and dumb, and even though she was a fantastic family dog, we did NOT train her the way we should have initially. She was 15 when we had to put her down and I miss her terribly. Anyway, I'm sooo determined not screw up the training with this one!
these videos are great :) helps me a lot :):):)
Great video lots of information that we can follow what treets are you using
This is great! A couple questions - do you train once a day or during each feeding session (three times a day)? do you use the first 50% on training, and then let him eat the remaining out of the bow, or vice versa? Also, this is part one but I noticed your lab is 11 weeks, is it ok to use this method at 8 weeks?
@Stonnie Dennis this is really great advice. My wife and I just got a lab who is 8 weeks old. We have had him for 5 days and we are struggling to get him to listen. How often should you do this exercise?
labs are such cool pups and are pretty easy to train
Love the video
