Labrador Retriever Puppy Training - 12 Weeks

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this video, we demonstrate our basic strategy for helping puppies prepare for real life adventures!
First we cover our core obedience exercises then we go out back for some environmental socialization, exercise, and retrieving work.
The Labrador's temperament as a kind, pleasant, outgoing and tractable nature. Labradors' sense of smell allows them to home in on almost any scent and follow the path of its origin. They generally stay on the scent until they find it. Navies, military forces and police forces use them as detection dogs to track down smugglers, thieves, terrorists and black marketers. They are known to have a very soft feel to the mouth, as a result of being bred to retrieve game such as waterfowl. They are prone to chewing objects (though they can be trained to abandon this behaviour).
Labradors have a reputation as a very even-tempered breed and an excellent family dog. This includes a good reputation with children of all ages and other animals.Some lines, particularly those that have continued to be bred specifically for their skills at working in the field (rather than for their appearance), are particularly fast and athletic. Their fun-loving boisterousness and lack of fear may require training and firm handling at times to ensure it does not get out of hand-an uncontrolled adult can be quite problematic. Females may be slightly more independent than males. Labradors mature at around three years of age; before this time they can have a significant degree of puppy-like energy, often mislabelled as being hyperactive. Because of their enthusiasm, leash-training early on is suggested to prevent pulling when full-grown.Labradors often enjoy retrieving a ball endlessly (often obsessively) and other forms of activity (such as agility, frisbee, or flyball.)I hope you guys enjoy!

Stonnie I’ve heard you sing and now your poetry. Kindly. Let me encourage you to keep your day job. Do the poetry on the side,
But keep training to pay the bills !
Some questions. What type of rope and what length is your long line. I can make one. If I know more about what type of road and length. You use 2 different whistles. What kind is the softer or quieter one? Where can I find one?
You wear a very nice vest type
Article of clothing. With big treat bags. And room for dummies for fetching. What is it called and where can it be found? Have you considered
Selling some of the training items that you use?
What are you slipping over each dogs head. I think I can make that also if I knew more about it. Thank you.
I also would like to know more about your accessories for training. Is your vest a fishing vest?
i love that mr no name ended up staying mr no name. awesome name for a dog.
Same :) 6/2021 and "Mr. NoName" is a wonderful name
Who else is watching in 2021 and sees that Mr NN's name became his full time name? 😆
Lol! On the cusp of 2023 & still Mr. No Name. Love it!
2024 😂
2024 👋 .. not a fan of the name .. no name tho.
I live in Ecuador and there are thousands of dogs that roam the streets. A 9 week old black lab was found wandering the streets of Otavalo. An American picked her up and brought her to an animal rescue/hospital in Cotacachi where I live. I just adopted her today and eager to get her trained.
11 weeks!!!! Wow - that is insane. Well done!
So darn cute at that age. Aaaand in 2024 No Name shall be his name! He sure turned into a great dog. Love IS really a warm puppy!
I literally lol'd when he said "he's not even 12 weeks old, he's 12 weeks old next week"
My fur baby is going on 10 weeks old he’s a all Black Working GSD. It is amazing how fearless puppies can be.
Your videos are making me more confident about getting a puppy! Our lab puppy will be with us in about a month and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm so excited to start training it! You make it look so easy and enjoyable and as someone who has never had a dog before, you have given me confidence! Thank you for reminding me to always put myself in the dog's shoes!
Love that old barn!
Thank you for posting this. I love watching your trainings. We have an 11 week old puppy though and sometimes I'm not sure what is age appropriate for his age
Uncle Stoney - your love of life and more specifically your life with your dogs is beautiful. Cant wait to get our new lab puppy in 3 weeks and utilize your training. Also where can I get this hat
Thank you! It’s from a small Inuit shop in Alaska, I think.
"My new puppy, Mister No Name. That's not his full-time name, that's just kind of a standing name, because I haven't figured out what I'm gonna call him yet." -- I guess you never did figure it out Stonnie :P
what a beatiful black puppy!!
Thank you for making these videos! My family will be getting a black lab puppy in 11 days and I will definitely use these techniques.
Who knew Zach Galifianakis is such a good dog trainer
His channel is nothing but amateur clickbait, shameless self promotion, and worthless product plugging. Stonnie is a no BS real dog trainer :)
Enjoy your methods. New English Springer following your methods with excellent success! Like your vids. Ol snoop will be a pheasant machine come up to Montana with a lab for some pheasant!
How many animals are on your head?! 🤣 Love what you do, Stonnie! You're a riot and your advice is no nonsense common sense!
Thank you again, Stonnie, to you and your family for putting together another great educational video. We just committed with a breader for a german shepherd pup that will be available in early May for pick up (due in early March). Your videos will provide an awesome guideline to move through the training process. I know you have several playlists for different types of dogs. However, they are all so consistent in the training methods and I have no doubt they will work well.
Thank you for watching!
If you ever need any help, I have an awesome online coaching and consultation service: kentuckycanine.com/onlinecoaching
Ok...….that sounds great. A general question about that: if you are generally always full with 30 dogs on that program, how do you get in the que? The litter should be born within 2 weeks; at which then, we'll know when we can go pick up the pup.
Mr No Name, needs to be named, Mr No Name!
Great information thanks for the video brother
Such a great video! and... The HAT!!! Haha!
Hey Stonnie, LOVE all the help you give away in your vids. I'm hoping I can ask a question or two? I've got a 16 week old choc lab female. Her manners at home are great but as soon as we are outside she's a crazy girl and forgets everything we've done at home. Can you please point to either one of your current vids for me to watch on attention deficient and how I can desensitize her to distractions? Thank you sir.
PS: We live in the city, small yard, but lots of outside fun places to hike, swim, and would love to take her out to start acclimating her to the water.
Try to add in your distractions a little at a time......start slow and work your way up. Just my opinion.
Love your videos, what’s your feeding schedule for your 12bweeks old pup. What are you using for training treats
Because he's getting used to being called 'Mr No name', you could go with Nova, and as it sounds similar, he'll catch on quickly 😊
What kind of treat or dog food do you use to train with ?
Where can I get a Black Lab puppy just like this one ?
Hey Stonnie, how cold is it where you are? And at when do you consider putting a coat of some sort on the dog? Asking from Colorado
Kona, Juice, Denver, Chance, Blackie, Jefferson, Ronpaul, Hamilton, Abel, Jack, Bourbon, Cooper, Wesson, Franklin, George, and how about Sniper
what is the clicker you have and why?
Name suggestion-‘Mister Peabody’ after the smart cartoon dog.
@stonnie six year old Male Black Lab, adding a puppy in six weeks (another black lab)... am I crazy?
Oakley would be a good name for Mr. No Name
If John LOVELL from warrior poets society were dog training he would be this guy hahaha
My son’s favorite UA-cam channel...
Stonnie Dennis hahah that’s awesome!! Love your content man keep it up!
What are the treats that you use in your training?
Hey Stonnie! What do you use for treats?
Where’d you get your puppy Mr.No-Name
I have a 7 month old Male Yellow Lab named Benedict. But I can give you some names if you like?
Jax-Klondike-Duke-Prince-Rock-Buddy-Bear-Panda-Scout-Loki-Shadow-Winston-Parker-Cooper-Bruno-Tucker-Dexter-Milo-Toby-Star-Hero-Sal-Max-Thunder-Checker-MaxAmillion- or Max,-Dante-Kipper-Kenny-Piper. Hope this helps, love your channel, and lessons. Keep them coming. 💖💕🙏🏆👏👏👏👏
Where do i get this hat? I must know!
It comes from Mother Russia, It comes for free when you buy a bottle of Vodka, you're welcome!
Maybe not a youtube channel...but something like an Uncle Stonnie's Poetry Corner twitter account? :p
Bronco
No poetry for you Stonnie. Doodles don't like that.
Name no-name Blue because you live in the blue grass
Isn't he eventually going to believe that his name is "no name" if that's your recall.
You don't tend to use their name as a command, but more to get their attention so they know you're about to give them a command. And you don't even need to do that if you use some other word to get their attention.
...similar to when you train them to a stop whistle which means 'stop what you're doing and pay attention'.
You can change a dog's name and they'll pick up on it super quickly. If you're training a hunting dog to be sold once it's fully trained then you want the new owner to be able to pick the name they want.
Call him poet
Forgot to suggest “Mojo” - I had a beautiful little black lab named Mojo and she ultimately worked with an arson inspector. Labs rock!
Name him Loki!
i vote Charlie
That’s a cute name!
I appreciate the video! My dog never pays attention to the TV, but she was honed in on that puppy run around haha.
Funny seeing you here
Best no BS dog training channel on YT. Thank you so much for posting your videos... you're a genuinely decent human being and a phenomenal dog trainer :)
That was everything you need to know about raising a puppy. There's so much information within this video. Brilliant work , sir!
Thanks for the video , Stonnie.
Kilgore Trout Stonnie is the best!
@@heathermcdaniel5488 He's amazing. He really has helped me with my 1.7 yr old adoption. I train him and we go on adventures-- he's starting to like me more than he likes my girlfriend. Lol.
New drinking game > take a shot every time stonnie says “very nice”
Ended up in hospital. Thanks
Great. Now I can't watch these videos any more without laughing every time he says it! 😁
@@C.Hawkshaw do a shot every time Stonnie says oh what a nice animal you may stay alive, LOL LOVE STONNIE
Better game... Punch yourself in the face every time you can't think of something original :)
I'm playing the game, I'm not impressed so far. Becasue id da be, well osay a little drunk, but nowesdg ahagrre, really he said it again? asdvt qweqekm dumahs, no he didn't, i didn't hear soo no count. ahat das im go seep, werbed. stuop game.
Your channel is the best one I have come across when it comes to training puppies. You explain everything in a layman’s terms unlike other trainers who use all fancy terms or techniques.
My 10 week old lab puppy isnt very motivated. Doesn't listen well. I've tried treats, toys, love. What do I do?
HI Stonnie, thanks so much for your videos. Do you have any tips for how to stop a 10 week old vizsla pup from thinking the training stick (and lead) is for chasing/biting/chewing? His retrieval has been amazing from the very beginning - like Noname's with a bit more excitement and mouthyness with the dummy.
You could still be a poet and train dogs at the same time. Let the puppies be your audience
Stonnie, i absolutely love watching your videos. I was just wondering what's your way of dealing with puppy biting (10week old German shorthaired). He's very nippy even after hes tired out.
Watching this in 2024 and at this point Mr. No Name is a 5 year old dog. Makes me wonder about Henry. Is he still around?
2 years later... still named "No name"
You are a great trainer, how you explain senses is so educational.
I have a 10 week puppy just like a Nonamem, and it seams to me like it was born trained...for some times now he sits when I throw and goes for it only when I say go...when retrieves he leave toy by my foot and sits...he know to sit and stay until I call him...and I am not a trainer and do not use treats...I guess I am just lucky with Bitzer, I hope it will stay like that , maybe I try sling shot hunting one day :)
Breeding is more important than training!
The poor dog needs a name already....I think Einstein suits him because as u said, he's an over achiever😉
My husband just surprised me with a Christmas puppy (not something we typically would do, but this past couple of years we had to put down both of our girls @ 13 & our cat @ 22!). Anyway, her name is Nelli (after his Benelli, it was kind of a joke that stuck). She’s 11 weeks old and I need to learn so much because we haven’t had a puppy in 15 yrs!! Thanks for all you do, Stonnie! Your channel has been very informative for me the last year or so.
it seems that Mr. no name has stuck. but, Id call him Keanu because he is tall, dark, handsome, clever and Canadian just like Keanu Reeves
Two name suggestions: 1. Poet. 2. Abraham (my personal favourite, as I myself have a black lab by that name).
Hey Stonnie, love your work, and that Labrador puppy is super cute. What struck me in the video was how normal it seemed for your son to be scooting around with a rifle on his back! You Americans are so nutty with your guns! I’m 50 and live in Melbourne Australia. Melbourne is a metropolis of about 6 million peeps and I’ve never even seen a firearm other than on a cop. Bizzare how we can be so similar but so different! Have a great day in the bluegrass! (Whatever that is). Off to train the dog with your wisdom now.
Most Americans are too misinformed about guns to exercise their 2nd amendment.
Excuse my ignorance here is a retriever a regular Labrador?
I thought they are different.
We are getting a three month old puppy so we will be later in training people usually get them at 8 weeks I wish there was a video on training a older puppy
Cue the kid with a Rifle in a backpack. So many Department of Homeland Security flags there.. LOL!!!
You know there's a problem with the Republic when children learning to handle rifles is a problem. Only corrupt politicians and bureaucrats fear their fellow citizens.
Speaking of cartoon characters, Mr. Magoo is another option. However, I'm biased since that is my dog's name.
I enjoyed the video, I would have recommended "Hank" as the name for him. You'd have Henry and Hank.
Stonnie, another great video. We took our 12 week old fox red Labrador out for an adventure walk and discovered exactly what you mean about environmental socialisation. She seemed to be tender footed around some leaf debris until we realised there were stinging nettles sprouting between the leaves! No lasting harm done but she was unhappy for a few hours. We’re on the other side of the Atlantic but think that Scout, after the Harper Lee character, is a cool name for a smart creature.
Onslow is a good name for your puppy
I have a 2 years old Labrador that when I got about 6 months ago, was quite energetic, but in the past 2-3 moths she became slower and slower. Especially on the return part of the fetch. Any advice how could increase her energy level again? She is from a show line, but she was the same even before she slowed down. Any advice, please?
Has she gained weight?
@@ShamanicSavant Not really. She has days when she is in the mood and does pretty well, and days when she isn’t
@@ShamanicSavant No. She is doing better now, but still far from what other dogs do and I guess this is just her way of being.
What brand treat do you keep in your bag to reward your puppies with ?
It's always a good day when Stonnie uploads a video with Lab puppies!! We once had a pony with no name, we ended up naming him Emanon, which is no name spelled backwards. LOL However, for all your talk of adventuring, you could name him after a great American adventurer.
Why not Norman? Sounds and looks similar to No Name 🤔
Accidentally came across your site,so glad I did. Very impressed with your style of training. I have a lovely 1 year old yellow field lab,Linda, she is
Arrrrrr big and little stonnie. His good at training kids to, what a nice polite well mannered kid his got, great family stonnie god bless tea
Great video I just got a new lab these tips will be helpful in my training
He looks like a "Remington" to me.......thanks for the excellent training instruction. My 5 month old blonde lab Levi has reaped MANY benefits!!!!! Keep On Truckin'
You are a great trainer. Love your methods and techniques. How would I find a trainer in Texas that uses your methods?
Till this day his name is MR. NO NAME
Stonnie I love your videos!! You've inspired me greatly and I hope for the chance to get to meet you one day! The last time I couldn't think of a name for a critter I ended up naming her Nada. I don't think that would work too well for Mr. Noname though! Good lucking finding something that fits him!
Great work!!! Truly a fantastic explanation of what the e collar is and how the process is supposed to work. Thank you
We're picking up our Lab puppy in 3 weeks, so really appreciating your sharing knowledge. BTW, that item from the cedar tree is a cedar-apple rust disease gall. Go look at them in spring after a rainy period...orange tentacles.
Great video,I always learn so much from you Stonnie.Your dog is just so well trained.I admire your work.
Thank you so much for sharing! I learned a lot of new information with you. Please keep it coming ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so jealous you got a new puppy
Mr No Name reminds me of holmes, and sure-footed like a mountain goat, from your newer videos I see you still call him no name. Is that his permanent name? You should change it to Kurt Kobain or Kobain for short. He will catch on quick since it sounds the same, lol.
PIEASE HElP I am desperate!!
I have a 2 year old lab mix Thursday I adopted a full blooded 7 month old chocolate lab he and his sister has just been in someone’s backyard with zero training (attention) I honestly don’t know shelter he is sweet good dog but needs work. I have a who’s the boss problem he and my dog have tied up twice she is much smaller tonight was #3 and it was in front of my husband and that’s not good, If he does it again he has got to go (per husband) it’s not been long enough to teach him anything l do have a large enough fenced in back yard there is no way I can let him out back in field I have no way to keep them separate I just lost 2 dogs one to age the other my sweet 13 month old chocolate lab to an accident both in April. Now I am not crying 24 hours a day
I have not found a video that you have made let me know if there is one or do you have any advice Please help
Mary Frances
We have a yellow lab, 11 weeks old. Super food motivated, knows sit, down- he’ll come if he’s in the mood. Sometimes he just totally ignores any call to come. (I thought all puppies would come running when you excitedly call them) but nope. Huck is a bit obstinate when he wants to be. Any advice? He doesn’t really want to walk the neighborhood either, only runs happily when we’re headed home. (He did do better out in the snowy woods, happily walked with us) Any ideas? Your puppy seems way more pliable and interested in you. 😩
I love seeing mr. No name grow from a pup to mentor dog
Name suggestion - Ringo - because he is a star.
Wilson is a great name
Call him Ruben or musa
I thought I got a shepherd lab mix-DNA results say Pyr 50%; 12.5 lab; 12.5 American foxhound; 12.5 working so I’m learning all I can about this independent young man 🥰 He’s super mellow and about the size of No Name. We named our guy Duke! Maybe No Name could be BLUE as in Kentucky Blue Grass ❤️
We just lost our black lab to auto immune and are looking to get another. He is missed very much. Do you know of any good breeders? Im from central IL. Also what training treats do you use?
Its funny how my 9 month Jack Russell Terrier runs to the tv when he hears Uncle Stonnies whistle, and yes , poetry should be in your repertoire. For a name how about " Baron von War Hammer ", Hammer for short. I wish I would of named my JRT that after getting to know his personality.
Please can you do a video on a nervous traveller? We follow your videos and our labrador is a diamond but the car is an issue. We spend a lot of time travelling to walks so we want her to be calm. She gets in the car ok but shakes like a leaf when we walk to the Car and shakes and pants the whole time while in the car :(
Love your boy's assistance! I have one like that as well. (Your dog instruction is great as well.) Your boy is "solid"! Enjoy HIM!
Since he is your dog he will be like your shadow so Shadow would be a name choice on the list
I was thinking Shadow also haha! As following and his dark color. I love the name. It's not rare, but it's at to me; I had a dog friend named Shadow and he was a great dog. I love him. Shadow I agree, would suit just fine here 💛💛💛
I absolutely love this channel. The channel is funny, informative and with a realistic perspective. I don't have a dog yet. I'm taking notes from the channel to get prepared. I'm looking for suggestions. I want one that looks intimidating, but won't really attack people, but bark to scare people off.
