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!

Always brings me joy when I get your notifications.

That spaniel is awesome. I don’t think I have seen a Boykin before, it looks and behaves similarly to the working cocker spaniels that we have here in the UK. I love your inductive retrieve technique too, the umbrella is a master stroke!

I hope in the future I have a son like George. He is a class act

The Boykin Spaniel is named after Whit Boykin who first started crossing other Spaniel breeds to create the Boykin. I'm from Devon UK and have a Sprocker Spaniel, not yet recognised by our Kennel Club but he is a cross of the Springer and the Cocker which makes a Spaniel more like the original field Spaniel before they were separated and bred for their size.
I absolutely love a Spaniel and appreciated watching the Boykin. Thank you 😊

Hi Stonnie from Epsom, England 🇬🇧 always a treat to see another of your videos pop up! You are an Amazing dog trainer ❤

I have a suggestion for a future video series. Follow the training of one dog showing before and after with all of the work done in between. I think it would be extra interesting with a dog and owner that needs some remediation. I volunteer myself and my almost 1 year old golden retriever. Haha.

Perfect follow up on your rough play video

"The fastest way to teach a puppy nothing is to try to teach them everything at once" Stonie Dennis. Great words of wisdom

What a great video!! Can’t wait for part 2! The camera man must be a surgeon because that camera never moves or shakes. I’d be like a earth-quake if i were filming

[Kodiakbait]

Thanks so much. For many reasons I was interested in a Boykin but thus vid showed me this breed was just a little more independent than i want.

Can you show the same video comparing the British lab to your American field lab side by side thanks? Great videos Uncle Stonnie!

I 100% agree with the heat coming off the fur of a black dog. I have a black lab/shepherd mix and we hike a lot, I now use the bArtic light therapy shirt by CoolvioLife and it is amazing. Keeps her nice and cool like she is in the shade while not in the shade. You can feel the difference.

Stonnie The Lab King✌I Enjoy my time here! Hope your having a good day.

[RatdogDRB]

That's a great comparo between these two breeds. For my money, I just like the labs more and more.

Stonnie, how do you manage ticks when you bring all the dogs out on adventures?

[janetchapman]

Great video!! Great job too camera “Mam” ! I always love watching and learning from you Stonnie!

[aimkhan]

Love your videos. You should do a video on managing /avoiding ticks.

[DoggyU]

Hey Stonnie! Love your videos. I’m a guide dog trainer of GSDs and a herdy dog person but am looking at a field lab for my next dog. Love watching these videos. I do a lot of platform work for other sports but know nothing about hunting/retrieving. Do you ever use platforms to tighten up the retrieve in cases of a less retrieve-to-hand oriented dog like the Boykin? Thanks for what you do!

[LeeShand]

I can relate to this video 100% I used to have one of each. Exactly the same behavior!
