Fact: Those adorable black Labs in the background will do NOTHING but be kind and love up on her.

I would love to see the moments you spoke off where she wouldnt walk on a leash, couldnt be petted, and couldnt do the obstacle course. It is especially those moments where people struggle with

Aw, thank you Stonnie! Please make a another video on Ruby! I’d love to see how she’s doing in a few weeks.

My very tired poodles head has been shooting up and down every time the whistle blew. She couldn't resist that last call and jumped off the sofa and ran stright to Uncle Stonnie on the TV 😂 Lucky Ruby to have a family putting the effort into getting her the help she needs to have a great life.

Thanks to your working with me over 4 years ago, our Standard Poodle is a really great companion. When we got him, he was terrified of everything and everyone. Meeting a new person caused him to roll over on his back and pee everywhere. Your guidance on taking him on puppy adventures and a huge variety of situations brought us to our current happy state. And SO TRUE about the dog having confidence that you make the right choices, and wouldn’t ask him to do anything unsafe.

Another great video about a tricky problem. But I think anyone who is considering getting a German short-haired pointer should watch it too! let them know that if you want one, they are going to be up in your grill almost every second until they are trained to chill out.

Drop Everything New Stonnie video..!

Ruby is so much like a younger version of my doodle. Oh how I wished I had your knowledge when she was younger!! She is a very well adapted dog now, but it was such a long, long journey and she is still a fear driven dog deep down. Please make another episode with Ruby in a few weeks. I would love to see her progress.

I have never seen a silver lab here in Norway before. I saw one for sale at a kind of "craigslist" ad. It was grey and had blue eyes I could not help myself asking if it was a weim mix. The lady admitted to it, but sold it as a "pure" lab. She changed it to lab mix after i called her out thoe😅

Building confidence in fearful/reactive dogs is so underrated. Another gem of a video from you Stonnie

Stonnie says : there is an inverse relationship between amount of exercise and anxiety. For people too. Exercise your dog people - it’s good for the pooch and you.

Another brilliant example of how to train a dog. Thank you for your help and fabulous video.

Ruby looks more like a Poodle than a Goldendoodle. My poodle can be quite sensitive and high strung. Great video.

I don't have doodles, but when my staffy X pups reacted to a blowing bag or other strange item in the environment, I walked straight up to it without saying a word to them. Sometimes it can be a simple matter of a bag being caught in a bush that wasn't there before. Now they're curious and investigate everything they concider strange. I see many ppl with fearful dogs, and it's hell for both dog and owner.

Mr. Dennis, man you’re a blessing. I’ve learned a lot from you and your videos. Thank you sir from Texas.

I have an older scaredy dog-your suggestions are very helpful. She’s been with me 7 months, the first 3 weeks she would not let me touch her, would never take a treat, panicked at the sign of the leash. Happy to report, she now runs with me in my yard, plays with the cat and seems to trust me MUCH more. Still needs work but we are getting there. It’s hard not to placate when she’s fearful as she only weighs 6 lbs. but I just go about my day Thanks for all the videos!

I'm curious how old the doodle is Stonnie. Your explanation of how to get a pup through this nervousness / afraidness is awesome. 👍

Nice to see a new upload! Hope you’re doing well Stonnie

Thank you!! Just got a pup that is fearful and anxious about everything new.

Such a nice job, Stonnie. Poor little thing. Glad she found you.

Although my almost 5 year old female Standard Poodle named Ara is very confident now, buying her at 4 months old with no socialization with other humans or other dogs, was quite a challenge. Your approach using exercise and exposure to other, older dogs created the possibility for her to become more confident, and able to safely interact with other dogs and with other people. This video is essential for caretakers trying to manage and ultimately resolve this type of behavioral issue, thanks for sharing.

Rapport, trust, and confidence is the key to a well balance dog; including patience 🐾🐾

That was so awesome watching her run at the end!

Hello Stonnie! You are simply the very best. Think and spend time with the dog. Rethink and spend time with the dog. Repeat the process, think and spend time with the dog. It is amazing how simple it really is. Always love seeing your excellent work and thank you for sharing your insight! 😁👍

Your video with adorable Ruby was awesome. First time seeing your channel today. I'm hooked!! I thought the area looked like KY.... then I heard you say..... Here in the Bluegrass, lol. I live in KY too...and definitely am a dog lover too!

I adopted a 7 yr old mini aussie who had been a puppy mill mommy and the shelter adopted her at an auction. When I was looking for a second dog, there were several former puppy mill finders on petfinder. They all wanted the adopters to have an existed confident dog, preferably about the size of a lab. We have a goofy black lab mix who is quite confident. I think our black lab is one of the reasons they chose us since there were several people who wanted to adopt our new one. It is amazing how much our new dog has changed in the 8 months we have had her, and I think a lot of that is due to the lab.

The black labs on top of the table at the beginning are darling!

Excellent video! Instilling confidence in dogs is the #1 way to eliminate a lot of unwanted behaviours, keep up the awesome work! 😊

Loved this session. Good to see a pup that is struggling and how well you handle it. Would love to see her progress.

Stone my pup loves your videos he watches you religiously wishes he lived closer so he could come play😍

That's a dream crew of black labs right there 🤩🖤 Good job with the doodle 👍 you are the best Uncle Stonnie

What a great looking crew of mentors!

I appreciate this video as I have a scare-di-doodle who is reactive. Can't wait to see her progress.

I learn that exercice my dog before a walk made a big difference with reactivity

happy to see again your video !

Love your method to help Ruby. Thanks for sharing, Stonnie.

Outstanding work!

Go, Ruby, Go! Thank you for sharing your talents with us all, Stonnie!

Well Done Stonnie! ♥️🐾🐾♥️

Absolutely love your training methods. Your honesty and integrity shine through your dog training. I have studied you methods and love your content!! Thank you for sharing!

New to your channel and absolutely loved every second of this

Thank you for helping me understand my fearful & aggressive Goldendoodle. Thanks for the tips!!!

Yes! My havapoo seems to think everyone is a huge threat to us! Excited to watch this video for some tips! 🙏🏼😄

wish i knew about 16 years ago, i had a simmilar dog to Ruby, my dog picasso(a cocker spaniel/bichon mix) bit people and dog outside our house. unfortunatly, we bought him from a store in the mall in 2006 and was a puppymill pup. so i think that stems to his violence. we recently put him downearly this year because of cancer. but throuh all that, i loved that dog sooo much.

We've watched you for years now, and think that this is one of your best videos ever. Really enjoyed it!!

I'd love to see an update on Ruby's progress. This was awesome!

I like the methodology - no bs, no crazy theories. You're very firm but caring w your dog(s).

My doodle is happy & confident, but daily I wish I'd known you before I started raising humans lol

One of my favorite videos! I live with a nervous dog.

Love this! Have two toy poodles myself that both need work on being less fearful, and more confident.

Fantastic as usual ❤

Thanks for this one, Stonnie! My doodle has picked up a few bad alerting habits since I got my heeler. Im working on that with both of them and this helps. My doodle is super confident though, so it’s not exactly the same….but I think your style of training is the answer.

Love this stuff. Pack theropy is amazing Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another great vid. Have a timid mini 9mn poodle. From the start, when we got her, have been getting her out in the world and took her to a good local trainer. Have been watching your vids for a few years. Again thanks for these vids. Now taking her out for her early morn woods walk in the dark.

Excellent! Thank you! 👍

Love this!

LOL Scardie-Doodle is right. Have a niece that has one. Biggest 4-legged chicken ever created. But when she forgets to be afraid and accidentally wanders over to be within reach, discovers anew how great it is to get petted and her ears rubbed. You'll get her to blossom, Stonnie. Good stuff.

Great to see a master a work

“Inverse relationship, more exercise, less anxiety” TRUE! I teach this to my human and canine clients alike. Great video Stonnie

This pic of this goldenPoodel is priceless 😂❤

Thank you very much! Very good channel! Subscribed!!!!

I love that GSP! 😍

Thank you!

We love your beliefs and methods, Uncle Stonnie! Keep up the good work.

I have never seen a silver lab...beautiful.

Excellent work brother! 💯💪👊

Such a great way to handle dogs.

You are a great communicator

My lab gravitates to the mud puddles, another clean up! Love the videos and the common sense training.

Great video. Thank you

Thanks much. Great Video. This is very much my doodle also.

I would have loved to see how she overcame her fears. I have a mini Goldendoodle and he has fears like this

That's amazing, she wants to be a part of the fun group.

Good video!!

I’ve had two golden doodles and both have been fabulous dogs because they are fun loving, generally good with people who don’t know dogs (which means my family) and keen to please. I relate to what you are saying - there are plenty of them that are very nervous and it’s not clear to me why, especially in relation to water as both poodles and golden retrievers were bred to be water fowl field dogs and by nature can be very relaxed. I love your mentor dog model and plan to have my now adult dog be the mentor to our next dog which I hope to find in the next year or so (getting older so going from a big breed to a slightly smaller one but field breeds for their smarty natures).

Love your dog training style Stonnie!

You make veary valuable work! Respectful greetings from Austria!

Lol😅 that black poodle was distracting her! 😂..I saw a Huge improvement! Kudos for your training technique! First time I’ve come across your channel..Ive the mom of a 6 mo doodle and trying to find tips!)☝️thanks for sharing

That GSP is just beautiful! When are you making a video again of GSP's, @StonieDennis?

I absolutely love your training philosophy and style. Do you do specialized lab training? Gun, titling type.

17:56 the poodle and golden doodle did this because they know the camera man always survives

I always looks forward to your videos! Thank you for this great content. Any updates on your homeschool the legislation work in your state?

Is there much rain where Ruby is from? I got lucky(?), it rained for 6 weeks straight when I brought my pup home. Got that one checked off the exposure list immediately.

I have a scardy-doodle I'd love to try this on, I just need a pack of polite labs and an obstacle course to help me! LOL. But seriously, how do I try this in the suburbs...I've heard horror stories about dog parks, and dogs in the neighborhood either want to kill us or ignore us

Great video! She looked like she was starting to loosen up at the end. She played with the other little dog and her tail was up in the air. Great job Stonnie and Ruby!

Bravo dogs, bravo!! OH MY GOSH!!!

What a great trainer, pay attention new dog owners.

Hey Stonnie what do you use are a reward treat? I have a 7 month old lab and to start her training I just used her regular dog food. Well now she doesn't like that as a reward and usually doesn't take it from me unless she is hungry. I see you always have little treats and was wondering what you recommended.

Wow, when seen next to each other, you can really see the Weimaraner in that silver mix dog. Pretty though.

Her tail is perpetually in the "I'm scared" position

Scaredy-doodle 😂

More videos with the poodle, uncle Stonnie!

I would loved to learn why and how to change the behavior of my dog of being fixated on dogs..(he was doing that at daycare and the cat but not with all the dogs..) he wasn't neutered but neutered now and does the same..not sure why..

My doodle pup will lick the face of an unknown 120 pound Rottweiler 5 seconds after meeting him 😂

How do you correct in the moment when a fearful dog acts out/aggression?

Do you have any videos on how to work with over protective dogs/GSDs?

My large doodle is similar. My dog is fine with me but starts getting excited and jumps on guests and totally ignores me.

What treats do you use?

Hi Stonnie. Have you gone to any school for dog trainers or have you built everything through experience and reading books?
