- Today we take a two puppies, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Labrador Retriever on an awesome dog training adventure!
We explore and talk about a whole host of topics ranging from agriculture to dog training theory, plus we get in tons of real life environmental socialization.
For those of you not familiar with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, here's a little background information, here is a link to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States: www.rrcus.org/
THE RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK is a dog of formidable power, dedication and courage. He claims an ancient heritage, yet is of relatively recent lineage in terms of standardization of the breed.
Today's Ridgeback is descendent from a variety of breeds which were crossed by settlers of South Africa and Rhodesia with the native dogs of the Hottentot tribe. The ridge became his identifying mark.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback survived in various forms through the years because of his superb hunting ability. In addition to trailing and tracking large animals, he was also used to hold his quarry at bay. He was the protector of game wardens, farm families and hunters throughout South Central Africa, where the breed developed into its present form.
From its origin in Africa, the Ridgeback has lost none of its abilities as a hunter and guardian and he continues to be an excellent companion. The Ridgeback is a devoted family dog, totally loyal to his master. He is rather aloof and undemonstrative towards strangers.
This is the Rhodesian Ridgeback, a dog of incorruptible, independent character, who takes his responsibilities of companionship, protection and family dedication to heart. He never forgets love and understanding, nor does he lightly forgive harsh treatment. He is a dog of noble bearing, whose physical attributes should reflect his role as guardian, companion and hunter.

-Stonnie Dennis, Dog Trainer
Rhodesian Ridgeback fan here. Talk about an athletic dog who loves outdoor adventures.
“The Adventures are where you choose to find them.” I love it...so true!!!🤗❤️
Perspective is everything!
Very true, we see to have a venture everyday in the yard granted it's 7 acres on a 500 acre subdivided farm but we even had them in a smaller lot yard.Prayers to your journey
Great job training ...
the owner got as much as the dogs in that lesson
Yay thanks Stonnie. I've been waiting so long for a Ridgeback video. Made my day.
great dogs!
Me too!
Stonnie, This is a great video in terms of training the trainer. More videos like this would be very helpful for someone like me. Really good tips.
I'm glad you liked it!
LOVE these videos - my life has become so much richer since I've embraced the "puppy-sized adventures every day" mindset.
The Canine Show suggested you to me. Much respect
Lol Uncle Stonnie, that mud!!! ...and the hemp field being harvested. Makes sense now. 50th anniv of Woodstock. Calling all dogs to the rescue!
Not to argue but Stonnie where she lives perhaps she should avoid ditches.... alligators, Burmese pythons, black bear, puma, venomous snakes.
Just saying
The video we've been waiting for! 😃😃😃
Don't get your hopes up, it's just a walk on a farm...
@@StonnieDennis but high percentage of Ridgeback! Haha 😜
That yellow lab is a handsome dog!
So!! much information; some direct, some 'by the way' ... Thank You, I appreciate that.
Really enjoyed this Stonnie🏴
That makes me happy!
Love Ridgebacks and of course black labs (owner) wanted to know suggestions for training when you live in an apartment also suggested long line leashes and treats to reward my dog. Thanks! Keep up the amazing videos!
Great info Mr Stonnie, had a RR back in college, stubborn as a mule as a pup, then she turned into a fantastic family dog.
Patience is a dog trainer's best friend!
Lol the legs on that ridgeback puppy!
Stonnie, love your videos/training technique. I have 3 - 1/2 month old yellow lab, training to be a service dog- school next month...I've been training her at home since 8 wks. old, through your advice. Fantastic results, fantastic dog! I live in town, double lot so she can run, run, run on loose long training leash. Works like a charm. Already retrieved objects, sit, stay, handshake, even "prays" at bowl for food.(I trained 2 previous great dogs)..so precious, sweet, great.
Never mind. I just watch several of your videos with you taking Eddie through snow, ice and cold creek water.
I used to take my Alaskan malamutes to San Francisco as part of their training process to practice public socialization. It was a big challenge for them and not every day was perfect but they made a lot of progress. Plus we got to meet a lot of interesting people! All that practice paid off later in life. When my dogs experienced certain situations that could’ve been dangerous. They escaped out of the yard a couple times while I was getting their backpacks ready. I guess they didn’t want to wait for me and went on the adventure! lol Because we practiced around where we lived they had good neighborhood manners. My neighbor told me she saw them trying to cross the street and they waited on the sidewalk and looked both ways until all the cars were gone and then they crossed the street. Everyone seem to be so amazed by how my malamute’s would act while on their adventure after they ditched me at the house. Another neighbor saw my dogs standing on one side of the street watching a man who had several Chihuahuas on leashes lose control of the dogs and everyone got tangled and started fighting. Apparently my dogs looked at each other and then walked away.
Oh my gosh love this video i was wondering what kind of feathers were those sorry I've lived on Maui to long we don't have a lot of the same birds just want to say Thank you for all the wonderful adventures i will be going out with my pup to find our adventures much much Aloha
Sandra those feathers look like Turkey feathers...
Awesome video. This is how I’ve trained 4 Dobermans and now my Ridgeback pup is experiencing the woods 3-5 times a week. I’ve found that starting them young off leash in the woods makes the training very easy. First RIdgeback, though, he seems to like to think about whether he wants to come or not. Looking forward to many adventures with my new pal.
Good luck!
Great stuff!
Work with the deaf and found my future dog best is a Silver. So I never knew how important you are. Thank you and great Kentucky! Went to a town with the exact name as me and NO FREE BEER. However caught a DRAFT think Ft. Cambel 1970...
Long lines are great for the early stages and new exposure. I've switched to an ecollar with my dogs. Positive reinforcement for every new interaction and until 6 months. Then slowly introduced the ecollar. Vibration and sound is all I need and since my training is built on positive reinforcement it is only needed on occasion. Stonnie's videos are a great guide for the positive reinforcement method.
True, warning I have seen ecollars malfunction and it's not pretty. Go for longer slower reliable behavior, it's old fashioned but really gets into their brains, works great with all dogs not just working dogs. Check kikopup on malinpis vids. Prayers to your journey
Do you have a video on whistle training?
I wish I had seen this video a few days ago. I’m in Louisville and I was walking my Australian Shepherd puppy (9months) and she broke away from me on the leash chasing a squirrel, she ran out in the street and was hit by a car! We thought she was going to be paralyzed but it is just a badly bruised back ! In watching this video I realize I need to keep her on a longer lead. Thank you for your videos!
Itty bitty Homestead omg poor thing. I hope for everything to be ok with her!
Moonbot 7 Thank you she is resting and healing , just so thankful she didn’t get hurt permanently! Thank you for your concern!🙂
where did you get your ridgeback from?
Where can I get a long line like this?
Do you own all that farm land ? Or does it boarder your property? Wish I had alot of land for my dogs to go hiking.
Stonnie how many ticks do you pull off of you and the dogs after an adventure through the woods like that? I used to live in Mississippi and I know what the ticks are like in the summer.
My friend uses selesta products and pine needle tea to boost the body in tiny amounts. We have had it cure tick diseases with cooked or raw diets.
Stonnie - all your videos are educational and entertaining. I have a question about puppy socialization. We will be bringing home an 8 week old black lab around Christmas time. We live in Southern New Jersey. I want to ensure the puppy is socialized to water, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and boating. I am concerned that the weather is going to be too harsh to do these activities with such a young dog. Should I be concerned? Should I wait on these activities until warmer weather comes around or should I go ahead with these activities so she is exposed to them in the 8-16 week old time frame and just be cautious with how long the puppy is exposed to the cold?
Such a great question.
I’m a small town Nebraska kid from a town of 950 people and 100 percent agree with farmers are underrated.
What ATV do you recommend for 2 dogs on back, some archery stuff and targets and a cooler?
Well my Raptor doesn’t work... so not any ;)
Moonbot 7 I am a die hard Honda fan, myself...
What whistles do you use?
One of them I think is Fox40 sonic blast.
@@darrelladams9145 thanks Darrell I think the other might be a ACME 211.5
Stonnie, what I’m wondering about is bad snakes. Don’t you guys have a lot of bad snakes in your area. How do you help protect your dogs when your out in these areas?
Mrs Stonnie says all snakes are bad snakes.
I've got the same worry as I've lost a dog to a snake bite before. In Australia the eastern brown and tiger snake can be aggressive. I guess I'd take a pressure bandage with me in my bag.
Ridgie!!
Amazing! Even though we are in different hemispheres, we've both got the John Deere (in Oz, we call them headers) out stripping grain!
The more I watch the more I love this episode ❤
My husband and I are also ridgeback and kelpie owners
Stonnie knows his buds, oh ya he does 🙃 come to Canada and Stonnie will be stoned!
... they'll only do it once or twice for a hard headed one LOL nope if you own a wire haired pointer with a penchant for toads they will do it all day every day and even lick the roadkill toads they pass. Toad mating season was stressful with that dog. He would leave anything else on command but not a toad. I regulalrly have common toad babies coming into the hosue in Autumn to find a hibernation spot and had to catch them up before he started licking them.
"Yeah Stonnie my mother's been suffering through cancer for a while now..."
"Has she ever had to wipe with a corn cobb?"
"Well no Stonnie but..."
"Then how bad does she really have it then???"
I see you still haven't responded to my offer. What's the hold up?
Must have missed it. Where is your offer?
@@StonnieDennis in our last conversation.
I am giving you the chance to prove your expertise in a public format. If you have faith in your knowledge, put a video up so we can all see your methodology in action.
CZcams provides a very simple way to get your point across, I can't imagine why you are refusing to demonstrate your expertise.
@@StonnieDennis I will once you pay me to do so and send me a dog because that's real life results. Something you're not taking realistically. Otherwise you already know that my business is private and not free for people like you or anybody for that matter. You're not worth me showing and teaching all my knowledge. You walk aimlessly and dont train the dogs to perform any useful tasks. I train proper obedience and that's more than what you do.
USA is the most successful country in feeding their people? Hahahaha, idk which source this is from, but being totally honest overfeeding and feeding people with shit like corn starch/sugar is in my opinion not a good argument for successfully feeding the citizens. The USA is not even 250 Years old plus it’s ranked on place 18. for the country with the most obese citizens with an amount of 33,7 %.
I mean you can’t even trink tap water in the USA because it does taste like pool water.
No hate to all you US-Citizens but sometimes you should consider a different perspective than „America is the best in everything“ and look around what other countries are doing good maybe even better?
My part of the US is pretty good, but I’m open to taking a look at countries that are better. Which ones are you talking about?
