Thanks Stonnie. I appreciate the time you take to keep us informed.

I don't have time to watch this vid...your photos are fire. I stop EVERY time.

I have used your training approach for the past 3 months on my 2 yr old male Elkhound with great success. I really like these longer videos and all the insights and wisdom you share...Thanks Stonnie!

Hey Stonnie ... please continue to "ramble" on as much as you like. I for one love it. Your video's are simply awesome! Watching and listening to you work with all the dogs is fantastic. Great camera work and sound quality too.

"At a coffee shop listening to Kurt Cobain" I love me some Stonnie Dennis! Thanks for all the videos, I've learned so much!

One of the best training videos I've ever seen. My Rhodesian Ridgeback requires me to schedule his training appropriately. He is focused in training but as soon as I stop working him, he wonders off sniffing every place he can go to. I had to accept that as it is his nature. Also energy levels need to be understood as he can't work as readily as my German Shepherd. I wish the dog competition organisers start understanding that all breeds can't do the same thing as easily.

I love animals, especially dogs, because they calm my autism and ADHD. They just make me happy! :)

Stopping by to say that I also love the longer videos. I am learning so much and can easily say your work has improved my training mindset and practice. I’m enjoying working with my 5-month-old Shepherd/Husky mix. Thank you!

Great T-Shirt! Even more important in today’s world! Good dog training advice too!

This photo is stunning...ha. The puppy is too.

Stonnie You should open a Patreon account so that us folks that find your videos so incredibly valuable can donate to support your amazing work. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me and my pups and I would love to be able to give back. Thank you

I didn't even notice the lenght of the video! Great information, thank you! I sure need to adapt this to how I see my dog and how we're training. And I always compare to others(with everything not just dog training). But I sure need to focus at what I have :)

Love that shirt man. I wish your Kennel was in my time zone.

Thank you! I needed to hear this!

I think Stonnie is my favorite person on the planet. Outstanding stuff!!!

Lmfaooo! “Idk what they do in Seattle, go to coffee shops I guess”. I love Stonnie. Makes dog training videos entertaining.

Thank You So Much for this video with the Great Dane puppy!!!

that's super important and most people just don't even think about it; they're just concerned that their dogs perform. I love when my dog performs, i also like when I know they're well - that their hips and elbows are okay, and I think it's a handler's responsibility to become connected enough with the dog on an energy level to tell if something is just not right. There's the denial owners have when you spend a ton of money on a beautiful dog and train them for years and find out there's something wrong. Also with all the rotts I've noticed they can't stand heat - they really can't. I hose him down all the time, and our retrievers get hair cuts and they like being wet also. Black dogs get real hot people. Don't just let them out into the sun for hours - unless you want them to have a sunstroke.

"Make Orwell Fiction Again" ... oh man I like that shirt.

I've often said that a happy dog is one doing what it was BORN for... Cash is picture-perfect on point! Laffed at him in the hedgerow - tail just'a waggin' away!

You have the best advice I have seen here on KZfaq about so many breeds, When I see people arguing about stupid things on other dog training channels I direct them to your channel, 2 weeks later that person thanks me for introducing them to your Channel! Thank you Stonnie for all the great advice, I volunteer at a shelter and we all love watching your Videos!

These continue to be awesome training videos ! Clear explanations.....simple plans...…..great examples of the demeanor to exude with your dog. And, they present a series of building blocks to add to your tool kit while at the same time, emphasizing the importance of repetition. Do it a 1000 times until it is muscle memory for you and the dog.

Smart guy. Thx.

I enjoy your videos

stonnie thanks for information on how the dog thinks and the breed use....

Gday mate ,great vid Stonnie , goodonya mate

awesome shirt!

stonnie we're picking up our great dane up from jamestown in february any advice or tips? love your videos and everything!

Stonnie, I love your teachings; they are always simply insightful. Question: when you send the dogs home after their training time with you. Will the dog maintain the learned behaviors for the owner, or will he try the owner to ensure that the owner will expect the same behaviors. Asking from a trainers point of view.

Very well done. I have a Westie that does very little of what it's told!

Spatial awareness can be challenging.

Excellent EXCELLENT advice Stonnie! As an owner of standard poodles for years(don't laugh) it was very important before working with them and after to 'check' them over. Especially their pads, arm pits and such for weed seeds and general overall ability. Once, my standard poodle and I went for a long hike. I on horse back and very young didn't take into account she hadn't done that before. Poor girl! She had so much heart and tried so hard. I felt so very bad for her I ended up throwing her up in the saddle with me and took her home and dutifully doctored her paws for days! My lesson learned! Now, remember, I was young and dumb at the time but one very important lesson my mother taught me was to 'listen' to your animals and they will 'tell' you that something ain't quite right. I got so many other stories similar to this one and this one is already so long! Have a blessed day ya'll!

Stonnie, do you have a way for a puppy to distinguish between work/training and play? For example, can you play tug of war and let them get "mouthy" during play without hindering progress in retrieving and obedience training?

Soo much of his training power is in his jeans.

My two silly dogs both cut their bads open on different occasions but they never showed any signs that anything had happened. I found out when I saw blood after our exercising was finished. I order boots for them, I hope they work!

Thank you so much for your insight. I've got 2 8 month female Pointerdors siblings that want to be sled dogs. I have to use a gentle leader to handle these pups. They go loving crazy for people and other dogs. Please tell me if my pups will eventually calm down. Doing more socialization and environmental stimuli and letting them be dogs. Recall is terrible. I love my girls. They sit stay and had no problem with gentle leader, it means fun and treats. Practice makes a good dog along with fun. I see you with these young pups on a leash with no problem. Do you ever have loving crazy pups?

Stonnie I love watching your videos. I'm getting a miniature dachshund and I plan on using your methods. I haven't found a video for small dogs. Do you have any?

It's amazing to me how much that Pomsky looks like a Shiba Inu. Obviously you know what dogs you have there, but still...🤔😀

How much training with German Shepherds do you do? I just got a German Shepherd puppy, she’s 8 weeks old. I like the way you go about training, just looking for some of your insight and philosophy on training GSD. Thanks. And love the content👍🏻

I love to watch you train the dogs. Could you do a video of a puppy from the first day he arrives until he can do some of the tasks?

Great T-shirt Stonnie,where'd you get it if you don't mind saying?

Where are you located?

Zelda is beautiful! She looks like a german shepherd but her coat is like that of a golden retriever's! What breed is that?

Kind of feel bad for Cash now,lol! He loves to hunt and he has to listen to Kurt Cobain and drink coffee 🙄

I discovered your channel recently. I got a labrador old 10 weeks. I follow your way of training and besides that type of training works I'm looking forward to each other ... and probably the dog also 😁 here is photo of our training to terrain and the 🐕 photos.app.goo.gl/K9mktnttMeX4PEJn9 (English is not my first language as you can see 😁)

Just an FYI Stonnie... not ALL of us in Seattle listen to Kurt Cobain. LOL SOME of us are strong 2A types, who love/embrace the Constitution, and believe that Communism belongs at the bottom of the ocean, never to surface again. Good stuff there Kemosabe.
