Protection Dog Or Scared Dog 4 | Dog Training Strategy - Desensitization Via Progressive Exposure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2021
- Join Uncle stonnie as he demonstrates an awesome dog training strategy with Bella, an under socialized German Shepherd Dog and talks about the value of desensitization via progressive exposure, or what he calls Bum Training. This is the fourth video in a series following Bella's progress over her boarding stay and talking about Stonnie's approach to proper protection/guard dog socialization and management.
Dogs like Bella are bred to be a family protectors and loyal companions. Unfortunately, breeding dogs to be protective is a double edged sword. On the one hand the dogs come pre-programmed with a tendency to bond closely with people and animals with whom they come in contact with early, but on the other hand they are very skeptical (afraid) of people and animals that they have not been contact with during their formative developmental stages.
All too often, the lack of early socialization leads to fear based aggression which makes the dogs and owners the scourge of their neighborhoods.
Over the next few weeks Stonnie is going to talk about techniques and strategies to prevent, and/or treat, the common types of behavioral issues that pop up with guard dog breeds.
For background information on Stonnie's thoughts concerning proper puppy socialization be sure to check our our Puppy Developmental Stages video series: ua-cam.com/users/playlist?list...
We hope you guys enjoy!

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!
I have to give you a ton of credit Stonnie. We were there at your facility the day Bella was dropped off working with our doodle with you. The amount of progress you made with Bella is nothing short of amazing. To see where she was on day one to now speaks volumes of the quality of your program. Keep up the good work my man.
He's absolutely right. All these homeless people in my city have dogs with fantastic behavior
Yeah, I always get so sad seeing a bum begging with a dog. They can’t even take care of themselves so how do they take care of the dog? I guess the dog brings in sympathy money.
@@fmknokey can be true but when you are lonely and homeless. sometimes your dogs come with you when you loose a home. As well, dogs and other animals provide a sense of companionship which people who are alone and cold and wet all the time desire. It may be a selfish act but humans are selfish everyday, like how you assume its a choice for the majority of homeless people to be homeless and to choose into bringing their pets with them.
I just read my original post from 10 months ago. It was cold and cruel. I apologize. I think it came from a time when I had rescued a dog that had come from a homeless man. The man had an alcohol and drug problem. He would tie the dog up, go drinking and forget where he left his dog. The dog was terribly abused. He was a sweet dog that didn’t deserve that. I still stay by, if you can’t take care of yourself, how you going to take care of a dog?
I really enjoy your channel. I’m almost 40 and have been involved with working dogs for the last 20 years. I’m not ashamed to admit , you have changed my mind on some issues and have taught in a few short vids things that I haven’t been able to figure out on my own in 20 years. God bless you and your family. Ps if your son decides to follow in your footsteps he is going to be a great one. I love watching you pass your skills onto your son.
Watching you...and I'm obsessed with dog training, and doing EVERYTHING I can to improve communication and understanding I can with my German Shepherd...but I watch YOU, and "lightbulbs" go off in my head. THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH HELP!! I watch Michael Ellis and all the GSD-Malinois type "experts"...and they ARE awesome. But you've contributed something unique to my understanding.
PS: my German Shepherd is a hobo, not a "bum", I think!!!🤣🤣🤣
I love the bum training concept so much. It's when we stress, worry, and let our pride get in the way that our dogs develop stresses and worries of their own. Just relax, spend lots of time wandering around doing stuff with your four-legged, not caring what people will think or say and the rest will take of itself.
Wow! Saw the video today, was super excited how simply you explained this method. So, we went out to “bum train”. I had errands and utilized it to train. We hit Home Depot and where we walk daily they were setting up a carnival event which was “the jackpot”. We sat and watched them set up, walked up the steps and ramps to every ride, walked the strip mall, watched a remote “speedboat” on the lake and more. We ended this great experience playing launcher ball. Thank you for you easy, realistic, simple methods. Enjoy your videos!!!
Bum training, what an easy way to remind yourself to go out with your dog and wander around. Great channel, love how you train your dogs. We're getting a yellow lab pup the 1st week in Dec. Our 5 year old lab died suddenly last Thanksgiving day. I've been watching your channel for the past 10 months now getting ready for our new pup. We live on 16 acres of land in Indiana, with a creek and 1/4 acre pond so plenty of room for puppy adventures. I hope I can get our pup to respond as well as your dogs do to this training method.
How’s your pup comming along??
@@brianlocal3 Breeding failed, no puppies. Now awaiting another bitch to come in season and hope this one takes. It's the sister of Mollie, our lab that we lost at 5 years old.
Similar here. Been in Black Lab Therapy for last month with my new pup
Bella is always checking in with you. I noticed it on the trail hikes as well. It's been great watching her development.
What an amazing change in Bella! I would never have expected her to ignore that leaf blower so quickly. This video made me realize just how important the "bum training" that I have done over the years actually is.
The black lab partying comment had me actually laughing
Oh man, Stonnie! That’s awesome! I have often thought about how those panhandlers have such well behaved dogs, but I never thought to call it a training style! Brilliant! Bum training. Gotta love it!
Mr Stonnie, you have opened my mind up yet again, thank you!
Hahaha, Uncle Stonnie wandering around with the bundle, and George holding that sign "Gimme something for free" - priceless, love it! And the bum training theory makes lots of sense.
Black Lab Therapy is the best. 💜💜
What I love about your channel is that all the dogs you are working with are calm and that is my goal to be able to give my dog an environment that he is not stressed out while being trained thank you.
Simplicity is the height of genius
My husband and I have two retired police dogs living in our home. They are both sensitive to sounds. One, who is my husband’s retired working police dog, and is usually attached to his hip, will run off to her safe place when he starts drilling to put up a shelf! The other can’t stay in the room when I put the vacuum round. You talk SO much sense!
Watched this with my GSD on my lap, nice and tranquilo energy, hope to have a setup 1/10 of this monastery for my sweet StellaBella, great stuff.
Thxs Stonnie taking my Malinois 2 year old male, love him to bits...to the shops every Sunday for some Stonnies bum training
Progressive exposure. So simple, makes LOTS of sense! Now I know exactly what’s different about me and other trainers. I’m a bum , that exposes dogs progressively to the type of reality I want the dog to excel and be accustomed to.
Thank you Stonnie , as usual , down to earth practical and informative!!
I want Stonnie to train my dog then train me lol. I'm in Texas. I need a plane ticket 😂.
I'm 2 years late to this party - but gee what a brilliant series. GSD's are my dog of choice and I'd never thought about the loyal/protective trait as a low threshold to fear. That's such a valuable perspective. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'm learning a lot from your videos.
I adore this series! Ty for the free game!
It’s so fun to see uncle stonnie on a field trip with Bella. And I love the bum method! 🙏
Just found your channel and have watched 3/4 every day! I rescued a black female lab mix and am building a training course similar to yours, but smaller, to increase her self confidence and basic commands. She goes with me when I shop at Walmart, Home Depot and is doing better walking in crowds…
We go hiking, river walking…
I have learned a lot from u , TU for doing so many informative videos!
Wish I lived closer!

Bella is sharp.. Great work stonnie..
Gosh, Stonnie: I have the most obedient, awesome German Shepherd ever. We walk off leash safely...but I have to watch him CONTINUOUSLY. These videos have been fascinating. I WISH my boy could come spend a week or two with you. I've learned a lot and enjoyed your sessions with a dog who's not a beautiful Black Lab. I'm ALMOST in agreement that ALL dogs WANT to be Black Labs....but my ❤ is OWNED by German Shepherds, lol!!! THANKS STONNIE!!!❤🐾❤
Im with you on the German Shepherds. My first love, for sure
Thank you! Fantastic idea :) I've a nervous dog and since you said they are just nervous of everything it's really helped so does this idea of training by doing :)) thank you and I hope you have a beautiful day with your dog's!
This is so fitting for where we live in central FL. Thanks!
Great point stonnie! We have a 4 month old lab mix who was absolutely scared of sounds and people and cars. We live in metro Atlanta and in the city. Literally our 4 month old and 13 year old boxer mix just walk around and there are all kinds of people sounds etc. Now our puppy walks and almost completely un phased and confident. His tail is relaxed and not tucked, sniffing things and being a dog.
Now he wants to say hi to everyone! So true Stonnie so true about just being outside with your pets.
Bum training…..❤️❤️❤️ it! Desensitization, yep, life lessons from Uncle Stonnie. Thank you, Sir.
Bella is doing real good in a short time. Good pup!
Been waiting for this one. Awesome stuff uncle Stonnie.
So nice to see Bella has made so much progress in a short period of time. I love watching your videos. Keep it up and ignore the haters.
Great video, Stonnie. Working with my fearful poodle mix. I brought him home 2 months before Covid hit and unfortunately wasn’t able to “bum” around with him much since he had terrible car sickness as a pup. Slowly but surely, I’m desensitizing him and he’s making progress. Your videos are inspiring and I appreciate your knowledge and wisdom. Thank you.
Love to see her progress! With my four dogs its more than sit stay etc. It's about showing them all things like my neighbors horses, the cows, and we have all kinds of equipment on our farm so they experience all kinds of distractions. Makes better dogs! Love your style! Exposure is key! Thanks for the Bum training video!
Great advise. TY
What a great video! I’m working with 4 GSDs now and exposure to the environment and different experiences is pivotal. Thanks for putting it to video!
Love your videos!
So much fun to view this. Simple and practical.
Excellent.
Love your vids.
Enjoyed this video, Stonnie. In town we see people that my 'farm dog' pup is both attracted to and afraid of at the same time, and she barks at them. Holding her back from them seems to make her bark more. I think holding her back makes her more afraid AND want to go after them even more. Those two inclinations seem to be simultaneous. Maybe we need to start off bum training inside a library where people are sitting quietly. Did go to the library yesterday, and noted that loud barks tend to get people shooting straight up from their chairs and the librarians' hair standing on end. (Malinois-pit bull cross pup is also part literary critic, apparently.)
very well explained
Hey stonnie, love all your training and advice. Please do a video on the doberman, sharing your thoughts on this breed, how they perhaps differ to the usual dogs you feature on your videos. Thank you.
nice concept
😆 Stonnie in his hobo stage, walking around with a bindle. Lol. Great job with the dog. She is still quite calm for such a newbie at public access.
Bahah I love the language you use for training. We do similar training with all of our obedience dogs. Keep up the good work sir
Bella’s doing great! Love the bum training…and the reconfigured small challenges course.
I agree! Great stuff. It is always a pleasure to watch Stonnie’s training advise!
You camt unhear “bum training “ 🤙 Brilliant! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉 Great Video
This is great advice and made me realise that what I've been unconsciously doing this past year with my undersocialised rescue terrier mix dog makes sense! He went from overreacting and straight up flipping out about 20-25 times a day, both indoor and outside, to maybe a couple of barks every second day. So, yay for the bum method! I've wondered many times how come that punkabbestia (that's Italian for maybe "gutter punks" in English? Not sure😉) have so well behaved dogs😍
You’re soo funny and spot on! 😅
You or unbelievable. I uses an electric leaf blower to dry my dogs. They love it. Thanks again for these great youtube videos.
I have friends that puppy walk for guide dogs for the blind. They do exactly this (along with basic obedience) until the dog is old enough for the specialist guiding training. They allowed by law to take the dog anywhere a guide dog can go. They do it for free btw
Just came across your channel and enjoy the tone used in your videos. I noticed your GSD puppy is named Bella. I have a four month old GSD which I named Bella.
A really good video Stonnie, I did something very similar with my 3 year old English Cocker Spaniel. Unfortunately he now becomes anxious near roads/traffic. Should I just start again with Bum Training or try something different?
My puppy looks just like Bella!!! Beautiful puppy
Big fan of your channel. As a novice dog owner in between rants 😂 you have some great easy to understand advice. We live in Richmond with our mal pup. As we progress or regress we may reach out to you for advice. Thank you for the content.
Where do you get your slip leads from?
Making me chuckle. Appreciate learning the distinctions between bum, hobo and tramp. And you expanded my vocabulary - never knew the word "bindle". Enjoy your black lab party!
🌀💚🌀 Good, practical, easy to understand info! Thank You! 🌀💚🌀
I remember going to a 3 day event. The weather turned rainy and out came the unbrellas. Well some of the horses had a melt down. I heard a rider fussing and I said you need to umbrella train your horse. I was 17. He looked at me like I had 2 heads. I had a friend that worked at the horse park and was in charge of the carriage horses. The week before the derby parade she palyed marching band music in the barn. Everyone thought she was crazy. Her's were the only ones that didn't blow up. I get your point. LOL
🌀💚🌀 So much good info….Thank You! 🌀💚🌀
I really need to contact you. I'm in Wisconsin. My dog is terrified of everything. She's a 3 year old black lab. She has severe anxiety with thunder, fireworks, heavy traffic, vacuums, you name it. My son has a German shepherd that also needs obedience training. Road trip to Stonnie's is a future goal for us. Thank you for doing what you do.
Its the "German Police" hahahaha lol...thanks again Stonnie for sharing....helping me a lot training myself lol and my Belgium Malinois
Love your illustrations. Question, what would you do if Bella barked at a dog? My GSP used to do that. I didn’t think he would ever get over that. Do you correct her? Or walk in another direction?
Peace & Love Dog Lovers ❤️💪🏾
Great video. Gotta love the bum life a.k.a. Stimy checks.
We have leaf blowers in the Deep South! Ha. We have electricity and indoor plumbing too. Ha. Ha. Kentucky sure is pretty; as pretty as Bella's wiggle-walk. Ha. Huge fan here.
We are lucky enough to live next to 2k acres of woods, but only about 3 miles from our tiny downtown. We were accidentally doing basically this type of bum training and the informal off leash style of training just by mixing up where we go play, in an effort to wear our heeler out haha.
I love your channel!! Have been a subscriber 2 years now. I LOOK like an old lady BUM when out with my super gorgeous GSD. We live half way up a mountain on remote Scottish island. If I had retail outlets as diverse as that I'd park my campervan there for a month. At home she wears an ecollar to protect the sheep [everywhere, unfenced[ and wildlife. That's all we see. walking one day two supersonic USAF jets practicing low level manoeuvres passed BELOW us up the sound, BOY what a BANG as they passed!! Kai never flinched!! Several years ago you guy developed the stealth helicopter, used our island for trials. Out riding my horse [Western, of course] coming to the top of a steep hill, I felt a whoop whoop in the air [no sound], as I breasted the top came, literally face to face with a b....dy great chopper flying 5ft off the ground. The Pilot had some fright!! Steeply banked away. Horse just shook his head, carried on.
Why does Kai need an e-collar to protect the sheep? 🤔
@@alisonmeldrum8003 Can enjoy off lead freedom. Has 100% recall, has NO interest in sheep. Sheep here CANNOT be avoided. Farmer can shoot out of control dogs.
Bum training is like when we were kids. Our Dogs went where we went, except School. Rode around on our bikes and the Dogs followed. Don't remember many unsocialized dogs back then. Leash law and Dog lic just started out in our town. People were pissed about the new $3.00 Dog license so the City sent a worker to knock on every door to make sure you bought the license.
Dahm them big Brit labs look good.
Great video !! Love bum training 😂
I took my Lisal to a big hospital and sat outside with her .I have the video on my Facebook. Lots of everything there .
Is a Chesapeake Bay retriever timid like some shepherds? I’ve heard those retrievers make good protection dogs. Asking about the puppies in general. By the way, I really enjoy your channel!
Yes
Uncle Stonnie you are living the dream... my dream of hanging with dogs all day and being able to earn a living at it. I see we are similar in that we both are observers of behavior whether its people or animals. Growing up I learned that "street" dogs were smarter than many people realized... they observe their surroundings and adjust to it. That's why socialization works so well... especially at an early age. One piece of advice I often offer to dog owners who are interested in socializing their dogs is to take them to outdoor arts and crafts fairs. They will get to meet lots of different types of people there... little people and big people, people of all races, people in big hats, people with walkers or canes or in wheel chairs, smokers and old people who typically have characteristic odors associated with them, people with strange walking gates, kids with balloons, there's typically fluttering streamers and spinning pin-wheels, loud sounds and music, adults and children eating foods and laughing and running around... but best of all there are people who will want to pet the dog... especially if it is a younger puppy. Start at a distance and work closer as the dog shows you it can handle more novelty.
One other thing Stonnie... I see that "arm-chair" dog trainers really bother you... I'm surprised that you aren't more immune to their inane commentaries. First off, no two dog trainers are ever going to agree on everything... but arm-chair dog trainers just make stuff up as they go along and so are not worth even addressing because their true contact with dogs is so limited. We can only draw upon our personal experiences to learn from and so less experiences mean greater possibilities for faulty conclusions. That's where I've become jealous of your lifestyle... you have so much greater opportunities to experience dog behaviors over time and watch them adjust to their experiences ...thus your advice is often practical. I, on the other hand, have mostly experience from just friends' dogs and my many hours spent at dog parks and dog beaches observing and sometimes interacting. Though I'm not a subscriber to your channel, its now showing up more in my UA-cam recommendations, so I'll be watching more... just keep 'em coming.
If you like dogs, why aren’t you subscribed to my channel? I found that comment kind of odd.
@@StonnieDennis 'Cause I'm not subscribed to any channels at all. I just pick and choose from whatever is recommended and only occasionally search for a specific topic which then drives my recommendations... I watch dog related stuff from time to time and I guess that's how I stumbled across you videos to begin with so now you appear in my recommendations. If I subscribed to everything I like to watch I'd not have any time left to live my life. I'm 71 and still quite active... even so statistically there's not much time left for me to live so I do it outside as much as possible and thus am away from my computer. Bottom line is I've always loved dogs and am open for discovering new ways to appreciate them. I'll keep tuning in to see what you're up to from time to time. Thanks for caring about dogs.
Stoney you are dedicating to much energy to the few trolls, you don’t have to prove yourself.
I don’t understand why he always addresses them. And honestly I’ve never even seen a negative comment. Everyone loves Stonnie!
great Vids! i dont even own a dog and i hate your haters. keep up the great work
Lots of barn dogs need to be used to leaf
Blowers too as they are used to clean big barn aisles :)
I did not know that a bandanna on a stick was called bindle, thanks Stonnie.
you need a sign for Bella... Will work for doggie treats. I don't know bella though. She may want a sign... hey can you spare a doggie treat. (something for free without working for it). :-( Good video. I like the rural or tractor supply type stores like where you are that allow dogs. Good place for what you are doing.
Uncle Stonnie flexin on the hating keyboard trainers. Best dude to get training info from on UA-cam
Bella and I will be living more of the bum life. ❤️
I always stayed around leaf blowers, garbage trucks and other noise makers on walks. See how my dog reacts, make sure they're calm before going on. So many people avoid those issues because they're a hassle.
Just went to your site to look for the services. Do you take zoom calls instead of phone calls ? is it 75 dollars for a 15 min call?
We're rolling on the floor laughing right now
I'm scared 😫
Uncle Stoney. Can I have some black lab therapy?
👍😁
I used these techniques 2 i took on a abused pup she became the most confidant and happy SAR doggo
u r a genius
Thank you!
I have heard about these over angulated GSDs, wow
? You think the GSD in this video is over-angulated? That dog had a slight roach but nothing compared to the true roach back GSDs. Best are pure working line.
This is insane, I have met SO MANY BUMS with dogs who ignored me, but were friendly. No leash, but never chased cars or ran in the road. They were the PERFECT dog. Never chased anything, no bikes, no deer, no kids. And I am like, HOW?
What breed is Maxi? Is she a Dutch Shepherd?
I emailed you from your website about brining my two dogs for training and never heard back. Are you still accepting dogs for training?
I'm in CA so the bums are more aggressive so the sign would say YOU OWE ME (all in caps) or THE WORLD/UNIVERSE OWES ME.
English Setter fly by @ 2:44
"Give me something for free." I'm dead. hahaha
I call them 'lot dogs' -- the dogs that are in the parking lots of jam band concerts, following their owners and ignoring the nitrous tanks exploding, etc.
Haha what is with farriers and their blue heelers? I shoe horses but my truck dogs are a working line German Shepard and a malinois.
Yes sir agree completely from the wet coast of Canada where they aready give the bums free medical, housing, money, and now they want to give them free clean drugs. I believe us working types are the poor saps paying
