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.

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!

You have the best advice I have seen here on YouTube 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!

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

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.

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!

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

These continue to be awesome training videos !  Clear 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.

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

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 :)

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!

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

[cathyanderson]

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.

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

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