Puppy Developmental Stages: Episode 5 | 12 Week Training Session Example

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2021
- These puppies are growing up fast! Join Uncle Stonnie as he takes two 12 week old puppies through a fun and informative puppy training session. In this video we discuss puppy type, puppy socialization, and age appropriate training and socialization activities.
Puppies undergo rapid physical and mental changes between 12 and 16 weeks, so much so that we refer to this stage as the puppy training and socialization sweet spot! Owners should strive to use this time to optimize training and socialization opportunities. Remember what Uncle Stonnie always says, "Life is about realized potential!" Be sure to help your puppy realize it's full potential!
We hope you guys enjoy!

Uncle Stonnie makes me feel calm, attentive, and polite. Every time.
You’re a fine viewer!
That was hysterical, man. Just unbelievably hysterical.
Why do I feel like I should be calm, attentive, and polite if I want to get out of my crate and get a shot at hearing "Very Nice!" and receive a little piece of treat? Thanks Stonnie, world class session.

Class!!! She even went down by herself with confidence while stonie was talking. What a star ⭐️
With the stick and sunglasses you should title this "Blind Man Teaches Protection Dog!" 😄 One million views guaranteed. Awesome video as usual!
😎🤣🤣🤣😎
Now THAT would be funny.
Howdy Stonnie, Dang I didn't know you where training Reindeer to fly for Santa too! Enjoy watching the puppies grow, learning the fundamental building blocks for training. Have A Day! ;~)
Stonnie, I play your videos in a continuous stream, one after another after another, beside my pup's crate to keep her occupied when I need to get some of my other work done. I believe she knows your voice better than she knows mine.
She's a 12-wk old Lab-GSD cross.
As for crates, I don't like 'em; have never used one before. But, I just got this pup five days ago, and the 'house-training' process seems to have started going backwards. So to keep myself from going completely nuts, yesterday I started using the crate for a small percentage of 'confinement' time, a small part of "supervision, exercise, confinement" process. Wish me luck.
And thank you, sir, for your ongoing great work.
Stonie always gives some great advice on managing expectations. Just hearing someone say look at what you are doing and manage your expectations based on x, y, z....helps me pause, self assess and look at all the variables before thinking a training session didn't go well, or as good as it could have been. Thanks Stonie.
Thank you Uncle Stonnie from Minnesota 😊👍
Thank you for watching!
You always come up with new ideas to do ask similar things fresh which makes for great communication. Love it.
Love your videos, Uncle Stonie
I love watching the progress of your puppies. Great advice!!! Thanks again!
A video from Stonnie to enjoy my morning coffee with? Yay!
Thanks that was great! I am such a fan of off leash training. My old (and deceased ) dog could read my mind and did everything off leash and knew my hand signals and pointing was everything. Ellie (my newish dog) is doing quite well and I have you to thank for all the great advice and tips.
Another great episode from you Stonnie! I really enjoy all your information and knowledge on these training sessions. Also like the few course changes and looks like fresh paint on it. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
It’s a beautiful day in the blue grass!
Zoologist/Mammalogist here; The most important and impactful time for mental stimulation and learning in canids starts about two to three days after birth and it last until about two to three days after the pups eyes are opened. During that time, it's important to physically and mentally stimulate the puppies. The best method for that is the early neurological stimulation program, which incorporates every single type of stimulation into just a few, 5 second lasting, stimulative excercises for the newborn puppies, which help build up a very strong behavioral tolerace to stress, help develop and improve a dogs cognitive performance and improve the development and performance of the cardiovascular system - in addition to many other behavioral and health benefits. Early neurological stimulation is the best thing a breeder/owner can do for/to a newborn puppy.
Next, the best time for socialization and learning of natural canine behavior starts as soon as the pups open their eyes, until pups turn about two and a half to three months of of age. That's the time when pups should be left alone with their parents and littermates and shouldn't be taken or sold away, as during that time, they will learn and soak up the most about their natural behavior and the "do's and don't's" from their parents and each other. It is VERY important that the 'dad' is present as older males teach pups boundaries and respect.
Next, training... There's no exact time when training a dog is "best" however, the younger the dog the better and faster it will learn. Training should be done the earliest only AFTER the pups have finished their socialization and behavior learning process with their parents and litter mates, which is about two and a half to three months of age.
Fairly close to right, but not exactly. Go back and watch the rest of the series.
@@StonnieDennis I appreciate the concern but I work in a conservation center and a sanctuary. We work with wolves and foxes as well as having a separate hall for training wolfdogs and shelter dogs eligible for rehoming and adoption. As a biologist and a conservationist specialized in canids, it is my job and life to be familiar, in great detail, with physiology, neurobiology and behavior of canids, which includes the domestic dog. While I do think this TH-cam channel is one of the better ones on this platform, as far as education on dog training goes, as an animal biologist I do have to disagree with some pieces of information given out to the dog owners and breeders by dog trainers, veterinarians and people in other similar fields, who are in most cases not as familiar with physiology, neurobiology and behavior of canids.
I can't do more than just write a comment and provide people with information. Everything from my previous comment is how we do it in our center and our halls, with all canids, from foxes to wolfdogs, not just with dogs and about 11 years ago we started doing the neurological stimulation exercises on fox and wolf pups as well and in our facility in Germany, we have a program which tries to encourage more breeders to start doing ENS exercises with their pups.
As far as training goes, there's (sadly) no official research done on it, so even we don't know when the best time to start with training is, the only thing that is clear is that training should start AFTER the learning and socialization phase of pups and parents is done, which is at about two and a half to three months of age. When exactly? Nobody can say with 100% certainty, not yet sadly.
@@nogerboher5266 Here's a little bit of insight for you; writing a whole bunch of words and talking about your formal education or where you work is not the same thing as being right. Let's take for instance your position concerning specific ENS protocols being the best thing a breeder can do. Unless you can present specific long term, multi variate, studies, across a broad spectrum of domestic, semi domestic, and wild dogs, you are simply parroting speculation. I addressed this very issue in the first video of the series.
The problem with presenting yourself as an expert is that you assume your level of expertise surpasses mine and that is simply not true. ENS has been around the American breeding scene for decades, so your eleven years of experience doesn't really impress much. Just as a common sense side point, fox and wolf puppies have been surviving and thriving without ENS since the beginning of their existence; that should give you all the insight you need in terms of the true importance of ENS on wild canids.
Lastly, the idea that training is somehow disconnected from the formative socialization process is absurd on its face. All things related to improving a puppy's ability to process and act upon information is training and begins with one's first interaction with the litter.
So in short, be careful about making assumptions about what you know versus what other folks know and refrain from making declarative statements based on an appeal to authority.
If you want to impress, breed and raise a litter of puppies and document the process.
@@BusRes1 I, in fact, can provide you with not one but multiple studies done on ENS. I am a professional. I work with canids. Before all, I am a biologist, I would not recommend a practice that has no scientific and medical backgroud. ENS is a long established, beneficial practice, which was first proven beneficial on children, not animals. The first time ENS was tried and studied on animals was in 1951, by RSK on the USSR's military dogs and it was proven to be even more effective than it was on children. In 1989, the U.S army hired a large number of scientists in order to try to improve on the RSKs program and so the "Biosensor" program was created. At first the program failed, as pups were exposed to ENS exercises for far too long and it wasn't until 1994 that they finally managed to create a better ENS program than the one used for military dogs of the USSR. The U.S's new ENS program for dogs was much simpler and consisted of only a few excercises that lasted no more than five seconds each. The results were so remarkable that the information very quickly leaked to the general public. The program was then studied for additional 6 years, until 2001 and the documented results in the 1,000 dogs resulted in greatly improved immune system, improved performance of the cardiovascular system, greater stress tolerance and better performance on problem solving tests. In 2003, a new benefit of the ENS program was documented, which was a direct impact on the lifespan of dogs as a side effect of stronger heart beats, the improved cardiovascular performance. Dogs that underwent ENS, were living an average of 2.6 years longer under the same conditions as their littermates who weren't exposed to ENS exercises.
My father has been performing ENS on dogs for almost 30 years, I've been doing them for almost 15.
There is even more data about this amd even more in depth, on NCBI's medical library.
Only 4 days now till my puppy comes home so exciting its been the longest wait but will be so worth it.
My husband I have based all our puppy training off your videos! We love them! Thank you for giving us such great content! We have a 14 week old lab puppy. Our biggest concern is her jumping... She gets lots of exercise daily but she still jumps a lot.. Any tips? Maybe a future video?! Thanks for all you do!!
That little fawn male is really pretty!
Another great video from the Bluegrass !
Pups are 😍 beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
She is doing so good for 12wks good job puppygirl.
Thank you Stonnie :)
Thank you for watching!
Add a top hat and tuxedo to your cane. You’ll be ready for some heel work to music 😀
very nice love it tuitorial for bm..
love it
Ok how many going come on pup you can do the slide!....oh my what an alert little pup.😁
Terrific!
Thank you!
Little guy is also dping good, he going be strong willed little guy, thanks for the upday on these little ones.
Your pups looks great !! I am a afternooner, guess that's because I use to work 2nd shilf .
So cute
More please!
GOOD puppy dogs ! That's always best. And, lookity there ! Stonnie's sporting some new training pouches. Sure would like to know what they're called and where to get a set.
Hi Stonnie,
I love your videos and am learning so much. We are getting an English chubby in the next few months😊 We’ve never trained a puppy so are a little nervous. You make it look so easy! What types of treats do you use for training? What advice do you have for a first time puppy owner?
Thank you!
Maria
Where can i find myself one of those dog treat harness/vest thingy? Seriously, I like the design.
Thanks for the video. I like your pool? Where did you get it?
Thank you Stonnie! ❤ from Epsom 🇬🇧
What are their names?
Did you keep 2 puppies for you and George?
Thank you! I learn so much from your videos. My last dogs were a Lab/Husky mix, at 2 yrs they started having seizures. At 5 1/2 years they started having cluster seizures. It tore me up when I had to make the decision to put them down. It's been 3 yrs and I really want to get new puppies, but I'm scared. I am considering flying out to KY to get one of your pups though! I think it would be worth the expense.
It sure would be worth it wish I could
Get them natural food and they will be healthy for life. Those seizures may of come from leaky gut like it does in people. Seizures often come from less nutrients get to their brains and nervous system. There microbiome as important to them as it to us. 70 to 90% of our immune system is the bacteria in our bodies and it is not different with our friends. Desiccated grain and beans in food lead may have been a problem. Know it was tough, but facing fear will be good for you! 🐕🦺
Similar here. Broken hearted
I don’t know what I did to create an aggressive little dog... but ever since the neighbor dog attacked him a couple of years ago he hasn’t been the same. I wish I could send him off to “Stonnie camp” for awhile.
Sounds like it wasn't you. But you don't need a Stonnie camp, there are dog adventures everywhere around you. Park benches, skateparks, piles of trees if they've been cutting, brush piles, etc etc.
And for his dog-to-dog confidence I'd recommend finding a group of dog people that regularly meets up, who have control of their dogs and know how packs work. But it depends on where you live if that's easy to come by.
Love this--which 2 pups were these? I have a target stick like that but another trainer gave me a tip -goodr to tape a clicker on the end so it would be there if I wanted to use it--its been great and so much easier than using one more hand to click the pup! Thanks Stonnie! Great video!
If you tape a clicker on the stick you lose the ability to manipulate the length. Where to put your clicker is a whole video series unto itself!
Great point Stonnie!...as usual....I’m gonna ask that trainer if he reduces his target stick size as you do. Hadn’t thought of that. Wanna do a video on where is the best place to keep your clicker (when it’s not around your neck)? I love all your common sense answers. Thanks Uncle Stonnie!
Do you have to have a course to train them on or can you just take them out in the desert and make your own course
Is yours the Roller Derby Queen lol?
Did George end up keeping the highest drive male?
Uncle Stonnie, great material. I am a new puppy owner in the Smokies. This stuff is right on the money. I'm training my pup to break down gender barriers and the patriarchy.
You should document your progress in a video blog...
How is the guard dog training with your son going? I was enjoying those videos a lot
We got busy with wrestling season, work, puppies, etc...we are going to make some more videos soon!
My dog knows what ball, tug and what a few other things are. I always wondered how they could get service dogs to retrieve the can of chicken soup as opposed to the can of corn at the store. Well, duh, they point to the item with a stick.
😅
👍
Why are you using the stick?
My 11 week old Dutchie doesn't look that big. Crazy
Thanks for my puppy fix Uncle Stonnie. 🐕🐶 Any names??
Ha! Not good ones...
@@StonnieDennis How bout Shelby for the female and Dillinger or Austin for the male. Just thinking out loud!! Should have had that contest. Crap better yet have beautiful Charlotte name them😍
My dog would love to do that course with Stonnie. She'd do it all day. I bet that Stonnie would need to take a nap under a tree before my pup would quit. She'd go over, lick his face to wake him up, and do it again. I'm serious.
Stonie you should have mic dropped the stick at the end 😭 🎤
Ha!
What type dog is that
Malinois/Dutch shepherds it looks like
@@zackwoods7540 it'd pretty and smart
My Puppy would eat the stick
