I love Labs too. They are truly wonderful dogs. I’m blessed to have had 2 boys from the same litter (mixed breed) whose mother was a beautiful pure black lab. Then I got my Buddy. A pure yellow lab puppy. Bud became a loving and confident dog, good natured and smart. He learned to run the bike trail with me beside him on my bicycle. My next pup is a black lab I named Colt. He grew up as handsome as the labs in this video. Dog years fly by and we have to sadly part with them way too soon. I lost my Colt a week ago. He was almost 12 years old. Here’s to all our good dogs past and present! My… ❤Buster ❤Colby ❤Buddy ❤Colt ❤Oreo

Aw, thank you Stonnie! Please make a another video on Ruby! I’d love to see how she’s doing in a few weeks.

I would love to see the moments you spoke off where she wouldnt walk on a leash, couldnt be petted, and couldnt do the obstacle course. It is especially those moments where people struggle with

Such a nice job, Stonnie. Poor little thing. Glad she found you.

Thanks to your working with me over 4 years ago, our Standard Poodle is a really great companion. When we got him, he was terrified of everything and everyone. Meeting a new person caused him to roll over on his back and pee everywhere. Your guidance on taking him on puppy adventures and a huge variety of situations brought us to our current happy state. And SO TRUE about the dog having confidence that you make the right choices, and wouldn’t ask him to do anything unsafe.

My very tired poodles head has been shooting up and down every time the whistle blew. She couldn't resist that last call and jumped off the sofa and ran stright to Uncle Stonnie on the TV 😂 Lucky Ruby to have a family putting the effort into getting her the help she needs to have a great life.

Another great video about a tricky problem. But I think anyone who is considering getting a German short-haired pointer should watch it too! let them know that if you want one, they are going to be up in your grill almost every second until they are trained to chill out.

Building confidence in fearful/reactive dogs is so underrated. Another gem of a video from you Stonnie

Ruby is so much like a younger version of my doodle. Oh how I wished I had your knowledge when she was younger!! She is a very well adapted dog now, but it was such a long, long journey and she is still a fear driven dog deep down. Please make another episode with Ruby in a few weeks. I would love to see her progress.

The black labs on top of the table at the beginning are darling!

That was so awesome watching her run at the end!

I have an older scaredy dog-your suggestions are very helpful. She’s been with me 7 months, the first 3 weeks she would not let me touch her, would never take a treat, panicked at the sign of the leash. Happy to report, she now runs with me in my yard, plays with the cat and seems to trust me MUCH more. Still needs work but we are getting there. It’s hard not to placate when she’s fearful as she only weighs 6 lbs. but I just go about my day Thanks for all the videos!

We've watched you for years now, and think that this is one of your best videos ever. Really enjoyed it!!

Thank you!! Just got a pup that is fearful and anxious about everything new.

Excellent video! Instilling confidence in dogs is the #1 way to eliminate a lot of unwanted behaviours, keep up the awesome work! 😊

I have never seen a silver lab here in Norway before. I saw one for sale at a kind of "craigslist" ad. It was grey and had blue eyes I could not help myself asking if it was a weim mix. The lady admitted to it, but sold it as a "pure" lab. She changed it to lab mix after i called her out thoe😅

I don't have doodles, but when my staffy X pups reacted to a blowing bag or other strange item in the environment, I walked straight up to it without saying a word to them. Sometimes it can be a simple matter of a bag being caught in a bush that wasn't there before. Now they're curious and investigate everything they concider strange. I see many ppl with fearful dogs, and it's hell for both dog and owner.

Although my almost 5 year old female Standard Poodle named Ara is very confident now, buying her at 4 months old with no socialization with other humans or other dogs, was quite a challenge. Your approach using exercise and exposure to other, older dogs created the possibility for her to become more confident, and able to safely interact with other dogs and with other people. This video is essential for caretakers trying to manage and ultimately resolve this type of behavioral issue, thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite videos! I live with a nervous dog.

I’ve had two golden doodles and both have been fabulous dogs because they are fun loving, generally good with people who don’t know dogs (which means my family) and keen to please. I relate to what you are saying - there are plenty of them that are very nervous and it’s not clear to me why, especially in relation to water as both poodles and golden retrievers were bred to be water fowl field dogs and by nature can be very relaxed. I love your mentor dog model and plan to have my now adult dog be the mentor to our next dog which I hope to find in the next year or so (getting older so going from a big breed to a slightly smaller one but field breeds for their smarty natures).

It’s because some people do not work on confidence on the puppies that have low confidence. Also most ppl who truly know nothing about dogs coddle them during their fear periods instead of showing them that the world is a safe place.

Hey Stonnie what do you use are a reward treat? I have a 7 month old lab and to start her training I just used her regular dog food. Well now she doesn't like that as a reward and usually doesn't take it from me unless she is hungry. I see you always have little treats and was wondering what you recommended.

I have a scardy-doodle I'd love to try this on, I just need a pack of polite labs and an obstacle course to help me! LOL. But seriously, how do I try this in the suburbs...I've heard horror stories about dog parks, and dogs in the neighborhood either want to kill us or ignore us

I would loved to learn why and how to change the behavior of my dog of being fixated on dogs..(he was doing that at daycare and the cat but not with all the dogs..) he wasn't neutered but neutered now and does the same..not sure why..

My aunt had a Yorkie that was fear aggressive. I took her to obedience class and she was better behaved on the leash - to a point.

My dog is a one year ikd goldendoodle.. and we DESPERATELY need help… he goes from 0 to 100 when he sees others dogs on walks.. We live in aprtments and its so hard walking him as hes so reactive.. i dont think its fear its just he wants to get to them and greet but we cant always do that.. what can i do to help with this.. thanks!!

We have another male labradoodle that is super confident but she is not learning his behavior. Have to keep a roll of paper towels on the ready because she even pees when her family comes home….any advice anyone?
