The first time I took my dog to the river, she just ran straight into the water all on her own, started swimming and didn't stop till it was time to leave. Now if you even whisper "river" she's doing circles and going bananas thinking we're going there 🤣. Now over at my moms place, shes got a Neufie whos supposed to be a water dog and he won't go in past his ankles unless there's small kids in the water and he goes in and pushes them out if the water thinking they're in peril

Having only experienced sporting breeds I really didn't think there was a dog out there that didn't instinctively know how to swim. What great spirit Crackerjack has!

love ..how gentle you are with the dogs...

I lost it when Crackerjack tried to swim😆🤣 I thought all dogs were born knowing how to swim! Goldendoodle and wolf in the same sentence? Omg! Too funny. My Golden would have been in my lap for sure. Thanks for the great videos!

This whole video brought me absurd amounts of serotonin. Thank you so much 🥹

Love the Halloween Theme also this lady sure outs her heat into her store When I come to visit Kentucky I will be sure to stop by ..From Edmonton Alberta Canada!

Cracker Jack is a trooper, ya gotta give it to the little guy. ;)

11:30 I laughed so hard!!!! He cracked me up

I like how gentle you train your dogs

Brilliant show 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you!

From a Kentucky dog mom with her first kayak, I just wanna say thank you for making such a lovely and relatable video.

Super fun video, Stonnie, we are lucky that you survived the encounter with the fearsome wild cattle!

Lol, my cattle dog was so relaxed she would fall asleep on the kayak on our river trips

Awesome. I have this exact kayak and I am preparing to adopt. Looks like I may even get a bigger dog than I was planning. Wish me luck! Subscribed.

I really enjoyed this video! I'm in Louisville so within driving distance to that spot. Will have to bring my dog & teenage son out to go camping. Looks like a blast :)

I love the free ad for the local business, keep it up Stonnie!!

28:22 Those cattle remind me of the hippos in Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise. The guide would whip out his “revolver” and scare them off? I was waiting for you to do that!😄

love these longform videos! thank you Stonnie

Yay I love your videos!! And I love this longer video too 😎

Yes! I am so glad that I found your channel and this awesome video! I have big plans for kayaking this summer with my pooch!

Thanks for this great post, looking forward to more!

Thank you so much for giving a less expensive alternative!!!

Easy in easy out with swimming I've always found with dogs, show em it's not scary. Great video as always 👍 👍 👍

Your really good with dog! Thank you for the video!

Lost my loving Lab Jake . He was 12 and I had to put him down because of cancer of the spleen . He was a major part of my life . It's was devastating to lose him . I have to have a lab i n my life and getting another pup soon .

That boat dock place looks awesome

Stonnie, I love your videos. I really want my GSD to love puppy adventures with me. So we are introducing new things so she gains confidence in new situations. We are in the middle of the Covid 19 lockdown & this video was a breath of fresh air and fun arm chair adventure. Thanks.

Great video.

Hahahah me and my golden doodle going to these wild cattle and collect our supper hahahaha

"That wolf instinct is strong in the golden doodle. Attack! Attack!" depending on a doodle for catching your dinner 😀😂😜😁😀

That was great. Thank you! Just followed your page. Any tips/differences on teaching a Great Dane to kayak?

Needs to be a big kayak and keep in mind that Danes get fatigued easily so you guys will need to stay close to the bank or the pup should wear a life jacket.

Looks beautiful. If only I was a millionaire and could visit. 😭

I want to move to Kentucky!

Zeb grew up here!! Now in Chicago. I miss it.

my older dog is a Labrador an we also have a golden doodle puppy and she just loves water right now ,but my older dog slipped in a pool when she was younger and has never swam we try to encourage her to swim but she only puts her legs in and the water goes just past her legs and I really want her to have good time when they go in the water with my puppy.

It depends on the dog, my greyhound was 6 and jumped right into a pond and swan back naturally, a little shocked by it, but a natural swimmer. Now, she wwould never be fast, because of her thin legs offering no resistance, bout she was pretty natural in the water

Can you recommend the best sit in kayak for a dog. would the Wilderness Aspire 100 hull be large enough? I have a golden doodle as well.

You should try to make the dog platform in the cheap one.

What kind of shoes do you use when doing your water training?

How the heck do you keep your puppies from attacking the leash when and after you put it on?

Do you have any videos with reactive dogs?

I take my 11 weeks old malinois puppy and throw her in the lake (ok not throw but I just get into the lake and she has to come with). I also let her jump and ride the escalator. The progress with puppies is just so much faster and easier. The only little blocker is initial fear that starts to disappear the second time they do it with proper positive reinforcement. Absolutely not the same speed with an older dog that thinks too much.

Do you recommend a sit on top or a sit in kayak for a dog?

My last dog, a golden retriever, never could figure out how to swim XD he didn't move his back legs, so his butt would sink. We tried several times. One of m first two, on the other hand, almost got himself killed chasing a beaver. Wore himself out and got stuck up against a concrete dam. Dad had to walk out on the dam (it was only two or three feet across with one hell of a drop on the non-lake side) and fish him out.

do you have any experience in protection dog training?

I need to move to bluegrass from this cold New England.

Greeting from Newfoundland or 'The Rock' where we pretty much only get 1-2 month of quality warm weather. I appreciate the warm weather when it does finally arrive but it's much too short to really enjoy. I need to move further south.

Who’s the guy without the hat?

Hi Stonnie. Love your approach with dogs. How do you charge to train a dog to do something like this? Im not asking how much, but rather, how do you break down what it’s worth?

I have a base price for my in kennel training, then we just charge for thing that are offsite based on the extra labor involved.

I love dogs, I have a black Lab but I'm not fond of these doodle mixes. The only four I have interacted with were in a domestic situation inside a home and they were aggressive. Three while running service calls and the other was owned by a friend. I realize that's only a small sample size at only 4 dogs but all 4 lunged and bit. Not cool!

The problem isn't the dog. It's a lack of training. Dogs aren't bad, they just have bad training

Some places requires vests for dogs as well as people. How do you get the dog to wear a vest?

Dog life vets are actually dangerous, my friends dog died wearing one, he was fitted correctly for one, he fell of her kayak and flipped over the currents were strong and she could not get too him in time. She had a lab too, please don’t get a life vest there a waste, they put your dog in more danger,

Watch out for them gators.

Seconding the Walmart kayak. You'll beat your first boat to pieces. Might scare you out of the water if you're sitting on too much money.

The camera man talking to himself at 28 min. 💁‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Or three, the dog could jump off and swim for his life XDD
