I noticed Luke seemed to move good when he was actually interested in something. The way he had his nose to the ground for awhile reminded me of Hound dogs.

Beautiful piece of land you have there, Stonnie.

Great advice about starting water depth awareness

No Name getting to be the star today, and get dad's praise as well. Those pups seem eager to learn how to be like Uncle No Name, and Luke appears to just be in need of learning what a dog is and what's going to help him to be a good dog. He seemed to like the idea of learning a game, and to do so with good manners amongst the pack and people. Never met a dog that didn't like rolling in some wild/exotic poop. LOL... knuckleheads. Extra ice cream for "camera man", she's a trooper and a champ.

Well, Luke is very handsome dog. He appears well mannered with the pack. I agree, it looks like he just needs a little socialization and some learning. I’d love to see more of this handsome breed.

That was awesome!

Really like you videos. Love luke. I work with Luke at the pet resort in Glasgow. Comes for daycare Miss him. How’s he been doing?

Thanks for the Curly video, I look forward to seeing your full breed segment on them. I’m potentially considering one and accurate unbiased information about them is hard to come by.

Wow, he went right in! I predicted he would watch from the sidelines a bit before wading out. Nope! Good boy, Luke! All good dogs.

The Bruce Lee of dog trainers…..the art of training without training.

Another great video! I’m starting to think I watch too many of your videos I find myself talking to my dogs like you talk to yours 😂. Keep them coming it keeps me motivated to keep adventuring with my dogs.

Love to see a curly video, many thanks! I have mother and daughter curly. They are definitely guarding and should not be compared to a Labrador in that regard. During their first year they were suspicious to strangers. If you have a Rottweiler and pretend it’s a Labrador when strangers rush forward to greet, it’s no surprise if a biting accident happens, for reference.

love the training style and love the truck!

Keep it up uncle Stonnie!

My experience is that curly is a medium energy dog, not like the field bred lab which is obvious in the video. There are field lines in the breed, but not the division field-show. It’s a Velcro dog! Extremely loving! The fur: a good, proper fur dries quickly, low maintenance. But there are coat issues in the breed: thin coat, bald patches. There seems to be a correlation between thick, good coat and outdoor time. In Sweden we have a curly breeder living in the northern part, and they manage -40 degree Celsius.

Luke seemed to do pretty well!

Stonnie now you know the weather in Kentucky can change in a heartbeat and is very unpredictable, you only have 2 choices either take the time to remove some clothes or just sweat. lol

I appreciate the water depth acclamation tip. We live on lake superior in Michigan, There is a body of water within 6 minutes from wherever you are in this state. Water safety is important. We have an old black lab and a golden retriever pup. Our 10 year old dachshund passed away in the fall. She couldn't swim. She tried a few times and ended up flipping over like a dead fish every time. She didn't like the water so I didn't push her. We moved here from NJ a few years ago so the lake was new to her. But I worried about her water survival skills. Lake Superior can act like the ocean at times, it isn't calm and peaceful all the time.

Love No Name .🥰

My long-haired golden retriever x Weimaraner learned to swim chasing ducks. I tried everything but he wouldn’t go out of his depth. Walking along our local canal one evening some ducks came past and I heard a splash and turned to see my Charlie ploughing through the water like a pro! He was 7 months old.

Love all your videos they have helped me and my dogs in so many ways! I would live to see you do a breakdown of the English springer spaniel breed!! Field bred would be sweet!!

Hey stonnie, if you get the chance i'd love to see some cocker spaniels on the channel.

Dear Stonnie. I am a subscriber many years ago. Around 8-9 years. Or longer. I can’t remember. But I watched your videos although I didn’t had a dog. Now I have a 5 year old ridgeback. Yesterday I remembered a video from you. A calm and emotion video. Where you also kayak with your dog last minutes and you spoke some nice words about your Labrador. I think it was dog you do give away. I don’t know. And the last 20-40 seconds there was just a song. Country. Very emotional. About someone who lives in the same city/village as father and grandpa. And working hard family. Never got out of town. Something about drinking a hot coffee. I hope I remember right. I loved this song and your video. As I remember it was a longer video. And the song. Singing by a woman. Country like. I miss this song. I can’t remember and can’t find the video on your list. I cried watching you with your dog. Maybe you can help me. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Awesome my 3yr old black lab loves to retrieve but I have a frustrating time getting her to drop the floater she always runs around trying to get me to chase her

Hey stonnie, love that you work the dogs outdoors. Do you deal with any bugs/parasites with your dogs, like ticks/fleas? What do you use or recommend to manage that ?

Looking forward to next week's video very interested in seeing how the curly coat does compared to your black labs. Keep up the great work Uncle Stonnie!! Really enjoy your content!

I kinda assumes they were a bit more like a chesepeke retriever

We have a 1/2 Black lab 1/2 blue heeler mix.. she looks just like a lab and is very obedient. What do you think about Heelers?

Mr Noname is starting show his age with his gray beard.

Hey Stonnie! Where do you get your training leads? I’ve been looking everywhere for one like you use but I can’t find them anywhere.

It's impossible to compete with something stinky, Dogs love anything stinky.

What’s the best exercise for a hound like a dachshund?

Now I want to send you a flatcoat

What kind of snakes are in that pond?

Stonnie, If you weren't allowed a Black Lab, only a Curly Coated Retriever or a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, which one would you have?

Is Luke different than a Chesapeake Bay Retriever?

My ex wife had a curly coated retriever when we first met. He was a very good dog and loved the water. Every time out in public people would say, what kind of poodle is that? lol

I get the same thing 9.5/10 times. Almost get suprized when people recognize the breed

Not all curlies are stranger friendly, and they are most certainly not a lab or friendly lab or flat coat. In the breed standard it mentions they can be aloof, it doesn't mean afraid. But pushing people on them can definitely lead to biting. They also can be protective, those together will most certainly lead to biting given the chance, I've had one. First time he bit was at a retriever trainers, and I'll say it wasn't even 100% his fault as a "stranger" someone he never met entered his kennel even when he warned with barking and hackles..

It seems like CurlyCoat Bloodlines may have very pronounced differences in terms of temperament. I wonder how many CCRs who seem fearful, aggressive, etc…simply did not have proper socialization and training during their formative developmental stages?

@@StonnieDennis I have had the breed for 40 years and my dogs have produced both record breaking show dogs and record breaking field dogs. Just like other retriever breeds, there are very different temperament types--a field trial Labrador is very different from a conformation Labrador. Goldens are separated in field and show. Some curly coats do have issues if they do not have proper socialization as young dogs (8 weeks to 2 years). However there are also bomb proof curlies--they were born confident and outgoing and friendly. The breed is exploding in popularity but, unfortunately, some breeders will not even admit there are some dogs who need extensive socialization as pups and those breeders will not admit it when they breed a poor tempered dog.

🇮🇪 very good

Always a pleasure to see dogs free running. Here in Germany a regulation called "Leinenpflicht" (leading the dog with a leach) even in the woods or in open terrain, becomes big and bigger. People or dogs, the space of freedom is getting small and smaller.

Yes, many European countries seem to be heavy on regulation and short on common sense as it relates to personal autonomy. It’s a very sad situation and there are certain interested parties that are pushing the same agendas in the United States.

We live in Southern Arizona US. I have a female black field lab who is now two. Brynlie has sooooo much energy. She loves being free of the leash. Arizona has a law that says your dog has to be on 6 foot leash at all times except in a dog park. This includes nature areas, parks, mountain trails and public park lakes. I have desert trails outside my back door and the mountains are 15 min away. Mostly retired people here who love to tattle. I used to let my dog roam free on the trails. We rarely run into anyone until one day I managed to run into a couple. Brynlie was off leash but came back immediately when I ] leashed her. The couple informed me that there is a $500- 5000 fine to have your dog off leash. They threatened to turn me in. I no longer go on off leash adventures with me dog. Restrictions are in place everywhere.

How come no name still has no name ??

what treats are best to give during training?...

Why does Stonnie call the dogs 'nerd'? Is it an American thing? Here in England that means 'not cool' and would be a mild insult for most people

Stonnie, I love your content, but I think the dog I’m raising is a bigger fan. When he hears your voice, he comes running and sits by my side and cocks his head as if to ask, “is that Stonnie?” Then, when blow your whistle, he runs across the house and sits at his food bowl, waiting for me to release him for dinner. I have to move fast, otherwise the pool of drool in front of the bowl becomes a hazard.

Aren'r you freezing in ice cold water walking around up to your knees?

Please do a short video about dog diets and what you recommend/ feed your personal dogs…alot of controversy on this topic. Thx uncle stonnie

Rmax !
