- Uncle Stonnie is out with Henry, our mentor dog, and Vern, a cute little English Labrador Retriever puppy for a quick swimming lesson in our farm pond. Labrador Retrievers are great natural swimmers but it sometimes takes a few puppy training sessions to help them gain confidence and to draw out their natural abilities.
In this short video, Stonnie gives provides a couple of pro tips that are guaranteed to get your English Lab puppy swimming like a champ!
I hope you guys enjoy!

Thank you! I am in NH and I could bring him to you, lol, that would be a long drive though. Chewbacca is great! However, I am trying to get him in the water. I am like 115lb and he is 92lbs, and my husband is disabled...so it is not too fun to try to get him in. We follow all your stuff. I will take a peek at online stuff.
I am a fan of your training style, and I can travel to see you in person! But, I doubt you have a need for middle-aged students to shadow the cameraman! So, I will continue to watch her handiwork from this view!
Holy crap, that van is a beast.
Thanks!
If I had Henry as a mentor swimmer, I'd be the next Michael Phelps
Good job, Vern!
This was exactly what I needed: Another Stonnie Dennis video 😍👍
Ditto. Snow melting fast up in the great State of Wisconsin. Been thinking about the best way to introduce our pup to water. Now I know. Thanks Stonnie!
It was a joy to watch Henry's truly glorious exuberance in the water. He was so so so happy!!!! Brought happy tears to my eyes !!! Yeah, not the purpose of the vid, but it was AWESOME!!❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks, Stonnie.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You make everything look so easy, Uncle Stonnie. When my two labs blew their coats a few weeks ago, I cursed the day that I decided to get Labs--even the black one. Then today, I had to give my Yorkie her spring haircut. It took over an hour, so I'm cursing the day that I got my little accessory I mean dog. It's too bad their fur isn't painted on. lol...Seriously though, I love my Labs and my crazy, feisty, junkyard dog mentality, little Yorkie. However, our pack's training never stops. If I let up and lax out, they forget how to walk at perfect heal, wait to be told to move, the black one gets whiny and slow to obey, the yellow one thinks rolling around like an untrained puppy is cute, and all that. So, mealtime around here is training time...walk time is training time...going out the door to play is training time...every enjoyable activity must be earned by obeying commands first. These labs are the best dogs I've ever had even if they shed like none other.
Cool to see Henry helping Vern. Henry is underrated
yippee! back on the blue grass ! my family missed you guys!
It's so nice to see Henry again. I missed seeing such a happy, good dog.
'Das a GOOD boy !!! (Know what I mean, Vern?) Good ol' Henry, teachin' another kid the ropes to dogdom.
Great swimming lesson, Stonnie! If my Dad had seen your video he could have taught me how to swim five years sooner than it finally took him. lol
Now thats a gosh dang van!
Henry is all about that dummy. Hah! Go, Henry!
Have a great springtime folks, you sure brightened up my morning. Love seeing the wet videos
Just a quick story about Laps swimming. I live on Lk Huron and own and operate a RV and camp ground. A couple came to camp with their black American Lab and decided to take it to our beach to swim. They were tossing a ball for their lab to fetch but they kept tossing it further to humor their Lab more like they were tired of tossing the ball. It was very windy, so I warned them hey you shouldn’t be tossing the ball so far out with the wind and currents you might lose him. I had my English lab but he only would go in the water far enough to drink but I had seen other guess Labs go swimming to far out. I had gone back inside my cabin when I heard screaming from this couple and some other guest. They didn’t listen about the tossing of the ball so far out so when I ran to the beach there were 3 people in the water swimming after the dog by this time the dog was about an 1/8 or further of a mile out. Now we had a dog drifting away and 3 guest in trouble also drifting out. Thankfully I hadn’t put my motor boat away for the night I had to rescue the 3 guest and the poor worn out Lab. Moral to this is listen to the owner - have more sense than your dog and by god if your dogs going into one of the Great Lakes or a large Lk. everyone including the dog need floatation devices on. One man ended up in the hospital he had Asthma really bad and water in his lungs. I swear dogs can have more sense than their owners. My cooper is my sit picture when he was a pup he is nine years now. Thanks I love your videos
Dang...
That’s a crazy story. Good thing you had your boat or it could have ended bad!
Wow well done damn people
That’s a crazy story! Glad everyone is ok. I think the moral there needs to be know your dogs ability and have an emergency plan. Really an 1/8th mile doesn’t seem that far, that’s only 220 yards. The lake at our ranch is about 400 yards across and my black lab and his brother (both 7 months) will both go out 200 yards or more a few times, as will their dad (9 years old). Then again he also helped himself to swimming around the dock at 8 weeks old and has been a strong swimmer, never had to teach him how. We also always have the little electric motor fishing boat in the water too in case something happened we could get out there pretty quick. Hey, and by the way my dogs name is Cooper too!
Perfect timing on this. I have a 4 month old GSP that is getting used to a creek I have on our property but now I know how to approach the next step... deeper waters and swimming. Fun to watch these guys progress, learn, and experience new things.
Love the truck!!! Looks like a Filson vest too, my man!!!
Thank you Stonnie :)
The van is insane 😂😂😂
Thanks!
henry absolutely loves it out there! great stuff
Always a pleasure to get a noti for Stonnie.
I had to stop putting that work in once I saw the adventure van 😄 How’s Mr. No Name? I feel like we haven’t seen him in a long time.
Perfect timing. I was buying water waiters preparing for this with my lab puppy.
I love it!! Henry is stoked!! When I rescued my chocolate Eli he was 1 year old and had never been to the water. That changed the first week I had him, he’s a natural!!
Thanks!
Yeah, very nice, lovely and easy. With the uncle Master.👍🐸🐸🐸
Another great video to help the amateurs out there! Have a fantastic 2021and stay safe my friend!! Dennis
I like Mr. No Name! I think his secret name is "Good dog!". Bob
As kids back in the 70s we had a Female black lab that we would breed with a friend's black lab. Our Female had 4 litters of puppies. We lived on a Lake and when the puppies were 10 weeks old we would throw them off the end of the Dock into the Lake. 26 puppies in total over the years, every puppy we threw off the Dock popped up an swam about 60ft to the shore with no problem.
You could get a lot of views on videos with how y’all are doing that van. Good work as always!
Makes sense. Thanks
Great tips
thank Stonnie! have a new black Lab coming April 2 that will be 8 weeks old. cant wait to get him in the water when he's ready
Like your 4x4 van!! And the puppy.
Thank you!
Love that 4x4 van!
Thanks!
Love the video / videos
LoL @ Henry. 🤣
I will be getting our Lab in the water here soon.
Last year as a pup she went skidding off a dock while running, and plunked into the water.....took a couple of seconds for her to pop back up. I had a long lead on her and it was like bringing in a fish. I got her turned towards shore and she came in. She's not shown much interest in getting wet since. She even hates a strong rain.
Damn that is a good looking dog
Dear Stonnie , I just recently found your channel , and absolutely love it . They way you handle the dogs is so gentle , laid back , and natural . Everyone seems to be having mostly fun . I’m tempted to sign MYSELF up for a course 😳 !!
What do you use for good behavior treats ? They disappear so fast , it’s impossible to see what they are .
In one of your videos , you mentioned you do boarding . How does that work , and how much does that cost ?
Your facility is definitely top notch !!
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us . 🌸💕
Awesome! Fantastic tips. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
Hell of a Nice truck 🐾❤️ love your videos
Thanks!
I had a lab mix and as soon as she saw water she was a bullet! We could not get her out of the water! It was crazy and she was crazy for water
🤣
oh man, I need the info on that van! I work with a non-profit that takes people with disabilities hunting. That beast would be perfect for what we do!
Reminds me of my boy Samson. His first attempts at swimming were very cautious. Now you can’t keep him out of it!
I've been waiting for the next video! I need to see mr no name I miss him
Very nice. Vern will be an expert soon.
love your channel Stonnie ; how about a feature on Chesapeake Bay Retrievers some time?
You've left your windscreen wipers on!
How cold of water can a lab swim in at that young of age? nice video
Badass van
Thanks!
that van is baaaad ass lol
How do you think those Dutch shepherd pups will do in the water ? Thanks Stonnie
You want me to chuck them in the pond next time?
That would be awesome about time for another update on them anyway right ?
You may wanna wait till it warms up a bit and start them out in the wife’s fancy pool back at the kennel. Either way I’ll be watching thanks
Hi Stonnie, What kind of reward treats do you use ? I want to give my new pup crunchy treats as rewards; but all I see in the stores are chewy treats -- which I don't want to give her because chewy soft treats stick in a dog's teeth. I want to keep her teeth healthy.
🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀
Stonnie, over the years some of our labs suffered from "lab tail" several hours after swimming in cold water. Haven't heard you mention it, do you ever have that?
What is lab tail?
@@Gearwhoreactual Not sure if it's paralysis or just painful to move it, but the tail hangs straight down tight to their butt. Makes them very unsettled, won't sit, keeps fussing with the tail until it passes
@@BobW751 didn’t know about that and never had it with my Labs, but they were more spring till autumn swimmers, so water wasn’t that cold :) thanks for sharing!
Hi Stonnie. I've noticed you wearing a West Point hat. Were you in the Army?
My son is at USMA!
@@StonnieDennis awesome!! Thank him for his service for me. I'm an older Army veteran, about the same age as you ! Love your training videos!!
What kind of vest is Stonnie wearing here? Is it used only for treats or does it have multiple functions?
German Shepherd here. 14 months old. He's started to enjoy playing up to neutral buoyancy by our river's boat ramps. The wife and I want to encourage him to go further and swim. She wants to get him a dog life vest. IMO, that seems unnecessary. What say you, sir? Thanks!
Thank for great swimming tips.... we went to visite our puppy yesterday and now only 4 wks till he comes home. Follow us on instagram to see his photos @kyte.the.adventurer
Hope your all keeping well on the blue grass and all your little ones are settling in to there news home. Looking forward to new content and getting my pup out and about when he is bit bigger. Have a good day. Dee
Do you bathe your dogs every time after they swim in the pond?
Are you sure that’s not an English American lab mix ?
My chocolate English lab refuses to go swimming. He loves to wade though, at that point you are talking about. He is a big guy now, 1.5 yr old. I have had labs before and this is the 1st time ever I have had a lab that refuses.
Exactly the same problem with my chocolate Lab (9 months). I will buy over knees gumboots (or wait for warmer weather), to go with him in the deeper water and bring him over the point. Greetings from germany.
I have a lab, not a hunting dog but she loves to swim do you worry about the small drinks of water they take?
Hi sir, how old burn in this video? Thank you
My 2yr old female pushed my 8wk male puppy off a dock in to a river . he learned to swim real quick . he loves water we can't keep either dog out of the river
At 8 weeks mine decided he wanted to go splash around under the dock. Loved the water ever since he first tried it.
Howdy Stonnie, my Father had the same theory, he would throw us in and tell us swim or sink....we were not natural swimmers like Vern. Have A Day! ;~)
Sounds like my kind of fella!
is Henry the black Lab is a English Lab or American?
I was tought to never pull a dog in the water that you want to be able to swim can scare the shot out of them and they won’t touch water ever again
Not at all true.
I have always thrown my dog in the river with a good boy. They have never drowned. I think you have a more responsible way of teaching. I will leave school of hard Knox in my past.
Sorry, not going to suffer through two ads to see a puppy swim. lol. Rather go swimming with mine, but not yet in NH.
Fair enough, but if you are so busy you can’t watch an ad, how in the world did you find the time to tell us all how busy you are?
Haha. Not busy, actually quite quiet around here. Had to quit my job! Had to resign as masks trigger asthma attacks. I just hate pre-ads. I growl... lol. Have mercy on us ad ❄️
@@StonnieDennis - It just bugs me when some people want most everything in life free. I don’t mind ads at all simply because I know that it helps the people with their TH-cam channel and in a few rare cases an ad might be something I might be interested in. So suffering through what a whopping 20 seconds is suffering? So much to learn from people with TH-cam channels yet some feel the need to complain about ads and some might say well that’s 20 seconds of my life I will never get back. But I realize I might be an exception to ads but I appreciate channels like this and how much they can help me. I don’t mean to seem like I am being so negative about someone mentioning suffering through ads - well yes I really did. Thank You
You can get the Labrador out of the pond but the pond not out of the Labrador
Look at that van! christ almighty🤨
That’s my son’s van. I’m just getting it good and dirty while he’s stuck on Army COVID lockdown.
Stonnie, We want to see you take it through that ditch that your lovely cameraman crossed in the SxS .
@@StonnieDennis Dang, Thanks for his service!!🇺🇸 My dads Active Army. But thats a Freaking school bus. TOUR please??
