- In today's video, we talk about our top three strategies for stopping inappropriate puppy biting and teaching bite inhibition. We start off with how I approach the issue at my kennel and then I give you two other, basic, time tested, solutions for puppy biting and nipping that are guaranteed to work as long as you are patient, consistent, and persistent.
hope you guys enjoy!
This channel is devoted to providing a window into the life of professional dog trainer, Stonnie Dennis. I talk about dog training, boarding, health, equipment, and all the things that go into owning and running a successful dog training and boarding kennel.
At our kennel we place special emphasis on helping dogs reach their full potential through the use of physically and mentally demanding activities. Our primary goal is to help families raise happy, healthy, well socialized, canine companions.
We especially love training Labrador Retrievers, so don't be surprised when you see Labs of every age, size, shape, and color!!!

I would love to travel to Kentucky 🤣
Love your videos. I have a 7 month old Jack Russell mix she's great fun and Pretty smart
I'm worried that my Belgian Malinois teathing on mulch/ wood chips is gonna cause splinters or he's gonna swallow them. Should I be concerned or is that normal?
Hi can you tell me the breed of the dog you are wow out at the 10:00 min mark
Thanks
I believe my current 18 week old puppy has an extremely painful teething phase. I have never had a puppy as mouthy and bity as my current Rottweiler puppy.
My puppy also picks up everything, especially rocks and used paper tissues. 😮
I plan to ask the veterinary about some ointment for my puppy's jaws, as I don't want him to suffer so much. My puppy also pulls back his ears in pain constantly since about a week.
My puppy was very oral from the beginning, but now he only is calm enough to lick on a few occasions. I can touch him everywhere, he doesn't care if I lift him up or look in his mouth or touch him vigorously. Yet since a week, he seems to be upset out of nowhere and then bites everything, also my hands and my clothes.
I am alone with my puppy 24/7 and so he always has my attention and closeness. He Wil be trained to be my certified PTSD service dog, so it's normal that we are together the whole time. I do crate training with him every day, but other than that he always lies next to me or accompanies me.
Most dog trainers online talk about positive reinforcement only and concerning biting, they say that the dog needs distraction with treats when biting. I must say that this all is bullshit. If a dog bites because his jaws hurt, then distraction with treats is total nonsense. If a dog bites because it's fun to do so, then the normal reaction wouldn't be to hand out treats, but show him that biting is not OK. In such situations I turn away like any dog would do too. And if the puppy does it again, I growl and say a SOLID and SINCERE "NO!"
I only found your channel recently and I do like your natural style of training your dogs.
Cheers from Germany! 🎉 🍻
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
“How you gunna get mad at someone with no thumbs.” -Stonnie Dennis
Very glad I came across your channel...
Waiting for the T Shirt or bumper sticker 🤣
Words to live by. :)
that's silly (lololol)
I love that you explain to your students "why" puppies bite. So many people think it's because they are defiant or "aggressive," not true.
@larry andrews stfu u prick
@larry andrews Jackass.
larry andrews shut up at least she has more subs than u
It's most likely the puppies learning about different things. That's how the touch, and learn. It's developmental.
7 minutes in and laughing!! "how you gonna get mad at somebody with no thumbs?" Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on this common puppy behavior.
Truth, no?
larry andrews huh, that’s an interesting statement.
Stonnie, you are the Bob Ross of dog training. thank Dog for you.
He really is the Bob Ross in training :D
'...We're going to take whatever the good Lord gives us and use it to our advantage...', Amen
Our Lord gave this guy a gift that’s for sure , mainly common sense , but the ability to teach not just the pups but owners alike ..........I’ve always said no bad pups but plenty of ignorant owners
Sending love from Scotland.uk
Stonnie, you always present such a structured methodology on your training vlogs, and in such a fun way. Every dog and owner that finds their way to you are most fortunate.
Gave a thumbs up right when Uncle Stonnie picked up the leaf with his mouth, subscribed when he picked up the grass without using his thumbs. Thats motivation.
the content you provide is treasure
Im going threw this with my 9 week old GSP. Going to use alot of this. You the man stonnie
Stonnie, I love your videos. Very instructional with the right amount of entertainment. Thank you.
I have been watching many videos on puppy training and your information I feel makes the most sense.
Stonnie IV said this before, your training methods are the best on you tube. Keep it up bud
Loved this! Will be watching more. Thanks for all the helpful details!
Stonnie - love your style. so common sense. Love when you interject humor from time to time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
It's amazing, that so many things I've been doing naturally with my dog seem to be advice of Stonnie's... and it seems to be working well!
Puppy Montessori is a perfect description! The prepared environment for puppies. Love it.
The poodle was so polite and not rowdy that whole time 🥺
I love hearing "I appreciate that" it shows a huge equalization between you and the dogs
@larry andrews just because people are happy doesn't make them dumb. I've been around dogs my whole life and what he says makes a lot of sense to me. Her just presents it in a cheerful carefree way. Bubbly people are often mistaken as dumb and that is the biggest mistake someone can make when sizing us up.
larry andrews whered your book or video or any attempt at helping others...at all. Stupid is as stupid does.
@larry andrews I feel like I need to fight you, you are such a poop head
larry andrews what were you doing looking there when you found it? And is a hogs ass a common hiding place you used?
@larry andrews Just wanted to remind you you're a poop head
Excellent advice/techniques! My little land shark as been getting the best of me and I now see what I need to change. Thank you! 😊
Beautiful. Just beautiful. The stroking and handling. It’s so overlooked. Ear work and massage are cornerstone of relaxed intelligent dog.
Thanks Stonnie! We're getting ready to bring a new puppy home in a few months and I'm trying to prepare everyone in the family on how to deal with the things that come up with puppies. We also have an almost 2 year old very happy go lucky Boxer/Terrier mix so I'm praying that the introduction goes smoothly and they'll be best friends.
Great job guys. Mr. Noname is getting big! Beginning to look like Henry.
Great video! Thank you, makes total sense
This is great information. Thank you Eli fro talking him into doing this video. Have great day !
Thanks! Elie said you are welcome!
What a great video... really needed this!
This comes at the perfect time. Thank you for sharing your hard work and wisdom.
Thank you for watching!
Great tips! Thank you!
Great information, thanks!
I enjoy all your videos and am learning so much. You teach from a dog’s perspective which makes it easier for me to understand their behavior and act accordingly.
Thank you and God Bless.
Stoney. Your a teacher of teachers. A master of your art and you inspire me.....im an average guy w a 4 month old black lab and my desire to help my dog have a good life led me to your channel
Thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO STONNIE! You're a lifesaver when it comes to dog training. I appreciate your explanation & advice.
I appreciate you watching my channel!
You are so good to explain things Stonnie.
Thank you for making your videos!
My dog is almost 2years old. He is way out bitting stage, but I still love to watch you teach us how to be better dog owners, by covering every aspects of the dog education.This is so important.
Also, the fact that you questioned yourself and realized that you might of been doing your own way, after Eli mentioned, reading you a email about puppy biting, that he didint really know how to deal with puppy bites either, shows, once again, that you are a really smart and humble man who has also raised a very smart son too ;-)
Keep up your amazing work :-)
Thanks for watching!
Great videos Stonnie, brilliant explanation of pups behaviour regarding nipping and biting, it all makes sense . 👍👍
Thank you for all the valuable teaching.
Love from Kerala, India 🇮🇳
I love this video, I’m 51 and the first thing I ever do with a new puppy is get on the floor and roll around with it 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve never been taught to do it as a training thing, I just instinctively roll with them, it teaches me everything I need to know about them and vice versa. Biting gets dealt with on the spot and I’ve never had an issue 😊
I see dog training exactly how you do. Thank you for explaining it the way you do, and thank you for all the most informative videos you make!
This will help me so much, Stonnie! I absolutely love your content, you're a great man, I love how loving and caring you are to all the dogs as if they're your own! I have learnt so much from your channel my dogs are improving every day! Thanks, Stonnie, I look forward to your next video!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video.... “hey i appreciate it “ 😂
Giant Puppy Montessori. AMAZING idea! THANK YOU
I do my best!
I have been watching close to all of the videos you have put out. Im soon to be a first time dog owner as i am getting an 8 week old chockolate lab next saturday. Im really pumped about it, but also ready to take on any challenges that WILL come along. I really appriciate the approach you have to dog training, as i see myself trying to implement the same filosofy with my dog. Keep up the good work! Best regards from Norway
Norway? Dang, nice!!!
Great video! Thank you so much. 🥰
Great video Stonnie. I hope more people reward good behavior rather than scolding bad behavior. It’s so much easier.
Most of the time; but don't let anyone fool you, sometimes you simply have to enforce the rules!
Hi! Thank you for the amazing advice, I’m a huge fan of your training style! My English pointer pup has been with me for 10 days now, she’s just over 11 weeks old and a real biter. I’ve been using your second strategy so far and it has definitely made an improvement. She absolutely has a bio-rhythm and I can tell it’s when she has pent up energy that she’s at her most bitey. My problem is giving her enough exercise because she hasn’t had her second and third parvo shots yet and we had an outbreak in December where I live. I have a fairly large yard with slopes, steps, terraces and a mix of lawn and wilder areas of shrubs for her to explore. I try to let her run along with me up and down and around but I’m not sure that’s enough? I use ALL her kibble to train, she’s sitting, targeting and laying down already... and it’s definitely getting there, just very slowly.
Thank you Stonnie. I started wrestle with my 10 month GSD puppy now and its A LOT of fun! He surely loves it :)
Nice! Channel your inner cave man!
Fabulous! Thanks Stonnie and Eli. Be blest. Stay well.☦️👩🏻🦳🐾 carla.
More ppl need to see this. So many new family dogs this year….
Very listenable and informative. Really explains the personal attributes we need as owners. Articulate explanation of teething and milk teeth falling that I didn't know - that was a first and the analogy of dog play to explain how they behave with humans. Very calm and serene listen also. Very much the ambience we wish for. Thanks!
Great video Stoney, I have tried to explain to people forever why the dogs treat me different than they do them. Definitely going to have to recommend this video to them. Also, the Yellow capped version of that siracha is best!
Thanks, I'll try it!
I really enjoy your videos and your form of training. They are very informative as well as entertaining. This one was especially good. Thanks so much for sharing your years of experience with us. I also appreciate and share your more conservative views 👍😉
One of the Best Trainers Online (IMO)! One of the best videos I've seen on puppy biting... Apprieciate your Videos, wish I was closer to stop in. If you have time (😅) for a Video on what treats and training rewards, and chews you use, that would be awesome... ~ God bless you and the Family!
We have a 4 month old Turkish Kangal who is going through the puppy biting phase. I have just seen your video on puppy biting and I like your style. I will give your puppy biting techniques a go because the dog is big and strong and I love to play rough but after 5 minutes the dog is just getting started and I need to stop to tend to my wounds. Due to Covid-19 lock down here in Australia I have not been able to visit a trainer so I have been looking online for advice. Other dog training videos have made me feel like I was encouraging bad behavior in the dog so I stopped the rough play. Thank you for your video as I will enjoy being a "caveman" and start playing rough with my dog again.
Stonnie is the 🐐 the guy has helped me out so much in just a few days! Thanks Stonnie!
Dang, GOAT! I appreciate the compliment!
@larry andrews You're a poop head
@larry andrews All I found is a poop head!
larry andrews thanks Larry, you know a YT has made it when trolls arrive and comment on every comment trolling. 😅

A lot of people feel that clicker training is gimmicky, but since starting to work with it I've seen just how helpful it can be to be able to pinpoint moments with so much precision. It can also be a big help in dogs who tend to get more excited when you use your voice (as in "good boy") and end up going right back to what you just settled them from.
Clicker>Verbal markers
You’re so well spoken. Love your videos and honesty
Thanks for watching!
FlyingMonkey916 where’s your content?
@@StonnieDennis he's an internet trolls. Your doing great keepem coming sir!

Loving these videos as we look forward to bringing our pup home this weekend!!
Excellent. Enjoyed that!
Perfect! Thank you!
dont know what recording device you are using or how you upload your videos but it is the most sharpest and colour correct i have ever seen. crystal clear like UHD.. lovely.
Best video ever my 👵 really needed this for her 🐶
I'm glad you liked it!
SAME DUDE SAME MY DOGS BITE ALL THE TIMEI HAVE CUTS ALL OVER ME
Visiting your place is officially on the bucket list
Great job stonie
Hi Stonnie, I’ve been following your channel for two years and I love your style. I am in Canada and I would love to know what educational training you have had to propel you to the level you are currently teaching. Thank you.
Really informative and interesting thank you
Love your humor
Puppy Montessori! You nailed it!
Thanks for everything you do.

We’re picking up our new Giant Schnauzer the first week and I’ll of November. Your videos have been a god send. I’ve just ordered a good pair of walking shoes, because I get it exercise, exercise, exercise! Thank you sir, your down to earth approach is very appealing.
Thank you for watching!
@Steven Faulds believe me I did research on this breed to a long time before we got her. She’ll be 2 years this September. Has been an excellent dog. Completely nonaggressved. Very good with our grandchildren. Loyal, excellent guard dog, let’s us know immediately if something is going on with our property. We can take her out in public and she’s not aggressive with strangers, she is aloof with them, but that’s the breed. I agree everyone should research the breed they are considering, might be less in shelters if they did. Sorry u passed on the giant. They aren’t for first time dog owners. You must be In control that’s for sure, just show love with that firmness and they’ll do anything for you. One of the best dogs we have ever owned!
@Steven Faulds it breaks my heart also to see dogs given up to shelters. People stop us all the time asking us about this dog. You don’t see them very often and folks are very curious. I use that time to help educate them about the breed, like you I can’t stand to see people buy these dogs without knowing what their doing. I’ve wanted one for years and after all this time I decided I was ready for one, it wasn’t on a whim. We have a small farm and she gets plenty of exercise, which is the one thing I can say is essential with this dog. Not an apartment dog! Even though you don’t have one, you can also help to educate people on giants because of ur research. Been nice chatting with you. This is one giant who will never be in a shelter, she has a home for life!
Not yet have a dog, but love your vids ! Subbed !!
I understand what you mean about how there is a lot of content out there on puppy biting, but as a dog trainer I love seeing how other trainers teach these basic behaviors. You never know when someone elses way of teaching a behavior can aid you with your own client!
Always remember, what’s best is whatever makes your clients happy...
@@StonnieDennis definitely true. So many ways to teach so many things! Whatever your client feels most confident and successful doing is always the best route.
Im a fairly new dog owner. I got my first dog ( English Black Lab) 4 years ago and I've worked with many trainers on puppy manners, obedience, agility...etc. You are the absolute BEST! I love everything about you Stonnie! Your approach is so unique and your natural dog training talent is obvious in all of your videos. I agree that it's so important to be firm, fair, and consistent. I can't wait to watch your videos. I LOVE your channel and seeing your beautiful ranch and all the activities you provide for these dogs. Keep making videos Stonnie. Your making lots of dog owners and dogs happy!!
Thank you so much!
Great Video!
Thanks!
love the videos!!! hate the ads in front
Amazing video, great knowledge & explanation & the end I was absolutely dying laughing 🤣 👌🏾👍🏾
Thanks so much for the info. I would have liked to see a dog who actually was biting inappropriately and how you reacted. I know it is difficult to get that with so many well trained dogs! Far too many breeders are selling puppies before they should be taken away from their mother, they either do not care or don't know that the very best puppies are those who have been brought up by their mom until at least 10 weeks old and preferably 12 weeks. Six weeks is FAR too young to remove a dog from his mom, he hasn't learned much of anything by then! He is still like a baby who doesn't have the physical ability to get into trouble so mom has not had to correct him!
Great info thks...
Love how knowledgeable you are on all things dog, Stonnie! It’s enviable. ☺️ Would you consider doing a video on leash work for difficult cases? My 36lb doberman puppy lunges on his slip lead now when he doesn’t get his way. He used to respond to simple leash pressure during walks and we’ll have random good days of loose leash walking, but it seems like the bigger he gets the less he cares that Im on the other end. He’s killing my hand and arm these days.
you need to get on that dog because is going to be much bigger in a few months..... bigger the dog bigger the problem. maybe the lord will give you a nice dog but that is unlikely.
first off how well socialised was your dog in early puppyhood? Is his lunging out of fear or out of intent to do damage?
First off the guy above me, makes no sense at all and was not being constructive at all just weird. Here is what I would do... I would walk the pup and continue to change directions and treat every time the leash gets slack in it. Start walking if he pulls and leash gets tight quickly change direction, continue this until you get improvement soon as the dog leaves slack on the leash treat right away and mark it with a good or yes or click. Takes lots of patience but you got this! "its called changing direction" it helps your dog understand that you are the leader.
@@FarmerFpv is that going to stop a dog lunging?
That poodle LOVES you! ❤️
New subscriber here I really like your videos because you explain everthing
I have a tiny tearer-ist, JR mix and she is attacking to chew on my fingers or attacks my mouth when cuddling. Thanks for the demo on how to curb this. Great vid,
Thanks for watching!
A lot of videos out there on puppy biting, but we believe you Stonnie.
A good way to judge dog videos is by the number of dogs in the video!
I’m getting a lab puppy tomorrow and I watched all your videos from five years ago to train it yesterday
1 week later lmaoo did you get ur lab???
UWUsss Maria holding it right now
@@JohnWilliamLeonard35nice I have a 2 month old golden retriever puppy he bites a lot and energetic I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
UWUsss Maria just watch stonnie’s videos lol
Hey Stonnie. Just got a lab bernese puppy and love your videos. However, this video just shows a calm puppy letting you do everything. Would be great to see a puppy you haven't worked with as there is no example of her not listening or letting you touch anything.
I like the way the dogs just run off! Really good dog control 😂
Appreciate the video. What kind of chew do you use in this video?
first of all love the GSP's ( my favorite dog, then the labby's and catahula and border collie all what I have )
You made me howl with laughter at some of the things you said "how can you get mad at something with no thumbs" "don't spray yourself down with cancer" (so true) but in seriousness you taught me a lot about why my 11 week old Rottweiler is biting. She'S just excited or experiencing life in the only way she can when she "DOESN'T HAVE THUMBS" Although I was told never to do the "ALPHA DOG" pinning as it's not something they do in the wild. However, you said it is. I'm a little confused, can you explain please? thank you.
Mostly I’ve heard not to use the alpha roll because a really messed up or fearful dog might bite you in the face if you get too aggressive and close when it’s riled. I have seen my adult dogs handle an annoying “teen” dog by grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and dragging it around the yard. At first I was afraid the younger dog would get hurt, but it never did. It was so funny to see, and quite predictable if you had time to watch the behavior patterns. So adult dogs definitely use physical force/intimidation when younger ones don’t take gentle corrections seriously.
Okay the tree bit was hilarious.
I was actually doing that at times to get my coffee, lolol! And yes, that WILL bring about a nervous breakdown.
Thank you so much for all the helpful info you provide. My son just brought home a lab/mastiff 8 week old pup. I have a dog aggressive dachshund male 7 years old and he bit (no blood involved) the pup when he approached and touched him. The pup was howling for a minute or so and I removed the adult dog but I dont know if we should protect the pup or not get involved. Do you have any recommendation on how to handle this? Thank you.
This video was about addressing inappropriate biting in puppies, but it seemed a metaphor for addressing anti-social behavior in human children. Stonnie was amusingly discreet in talking about the naivety and limitations of modern dog owners (his customers), like modern parents. His method seems universal:
1. Systemic (proper environment, recognize biorhythms, head off problems with exercise)
2. Socialization (with well-behaved peers and seniors)
3. Positive feedback (with proactive training)
4. Negative feedback (for "behavior that is dangerous, destructive, or rude")
5. Self-respect (not letting yourself be manipulated)
+Save the sriracha for yourself
You are very astute, my friend...
Aww they have no thumbs they are excited baby’s love that.
Hubby and I have had dogs together for 27 years. We have raised them all the old fashioned way. They've all been well behaved loving companions that we could take anywhere. We've adored them all. Now we have a new puppy and I've been trying to train her using advice from TH-cam trainers using current day popular advice.... Oh my goodness... We are having so many issues with this puppy! Issues we never had with our other dogs. Thank you for addressing that there are different methods to training and that the old fashioned way is ok, too. I'm going back to my tried and true methods.
Good foundation training
Yay! I love these videos; they’re so informative. My puppy is 2 1/2 months old. He’s beautiful most of the time, but he’s also very stubborn. Sometimes when I tell him no, he “talks back” and bites (more like chomps) the air. Today, he was really close to my face (I was sitting on the floor) when he did it. I don’t know what to do when this happens, and I dint want this problem to progress.
Omg stonie, your my favourite dog trainer! This videos timing is SO perfect because ive just got a new puppy only yesterday! Thankyou so much...
I hope this helps!
@@maffa8000 Thank you! I hope it helps!
You can also try yelping when this occurs. If you use the dogs language to tell him he’s biting too hard, he’ll catch on. When my dog chomps too hard on my ears I yelped. Now he knows when we’re wrestling that my ears are sensitive. So are his when I bite them!
weejitwill I’ve heard this advice before. Whole this works for some pups, loud noises and high pitched sounds only seems to exacerbate the situation and the excite my puppy even more. He’s 5 months now, though, and he’s finally started to calm down with the mouthing.
Our puppy is almost 5 months old, he stopped biting me quite a while ago. No longer an issue. However, when he plays with the kids it still happens from time to time. Your video reminded me that I need to get down on the ground with him like they do, and act crazy (not my style), and then correct when he bites shoes or clothes. Thanks for another great video Stonnie.
I’d still love a video on what to look for in a boarding kennel. And I’d also like to see your kennel and why you set it up like you set it up!🤗 I’ve noticed these days some kennels have the dogs all caged up and others let the dogs all roam around together and even sleep together in an open room on cots! 🤷♀️ So what’s the thinking behind those differences.
I have a series of videos on Board and Train. Are you asking about a video about just regular boarding kennels?
Yup, just wondering what to look for in a boarding kennel...not training and boarding...
Loved the caveman wrestling bit XD
Keeping it real!
It was so wholesome!
LOVE this video! As someone that is used to old fashioned dog training I took my 2nd last puppy to a 'millennial' puppy class. Basically I wanted to learn clicker training. I didn't last past 2nd class for the foolishness and damage they were doing to puppies. I tried 3 different classes and trainers and left before completing any of them. Fearful puppy snapping and growling..and they gave it treats for stopping...all they taught that poor puppy was that if it snapped it got rewarded...barking puppies were given a toy so they taught the puppy that barking brought toy rewards...puppy whining with excitement at other puppies but not allowed to interact was force fed treats to 'reassure' the puppy...the puppy was excited and frustrated not scared... I gave the whole millennial puppy training up and my last puppy trained him at home the old fashioned way with very helpful tips from TH-cam trainers like yourself. Thanks for what you do and what you give us dog owners
@larry andrews You're*
@larry andrews yes...feed the dog for the behaviours that you want...not for the behaviours that you DON'T want...Happy to know I'm not alone in the 'idiot' category
What are you talking about? He's using a clicker and has a pouch full of treats.
