Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_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!

[@Queentei96]

Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "train your dog to" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyadison Genia Equalizer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

[@kevinb314]

I love that you use a shelter dog! First because its much more realistic to see actual training when the dog doesnt know many tricks, and even more so because its not your personal dog with that relationship. And second because that dog gets to get out and play and learn, and will be maybe more likely to be adopted.

[@josef.torrealba6992]

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "dog tips for training" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Janeyton Xonyatt Booster - (just google it )?

Man, I gotta say I love how you always treat the dog you are working with as if he/she was your own. I mean the excitement, happiness ad love always shine through on your videos. I also love how you work with shelter dogs and you don't seem to mind what type of breed. You are one awesome trainer, it would be awesome to meet you and get advice on my girl, would you ever do something on digging and stealing things and destroying them? Because Dusty just thinks everything is hers from plastic bags to pot lids (I don't know how she got it either?!!) Thank though for helping with everything else :) I put most of it to Dusty and she is an all round good girl (mostly of the time)

Hey there. So this is so this is a common misconception popularized by traditional dog trainers that rely on tools to make life unpleasant when their dog does not perform as desired. Here's a video that will explain the dominance myth: ==> BestDogTrainingProgram.blogspot.com

[@saturniiiidae]

Try teaching her ‘leave it’ and ‘take it’

[@HayleyJeffs]

That is a beautiful dog. Super high energy, which has drawbacks and benefits, and in this case it made it very nice to watch you training him.

[@YouWhatMate28]

hahaha my dog is like that. He's a nightmare but I love him like that a lot of personalty

[@melindalamb6182]

I just did my first 20 min session and it was amazing. I got my dog to look at me for 10 seconds and leave a treat on the floor. It is the most progress we've ever made and I anticipate a 100% better behaved dog if we keep working on it. Thank you!

[@kristenstites4418]

That dog is hilarious, and the way he gets so excited when you go “yes!” Is so cute!!!

[@CharlotteHoberg]

Zak, I have to say you've changed my approach to dog training drastically. I was lucky enough to stumble across your videos when I adopted my puppy. I was working under people who believed in e-collar and punishment based training. I very quickly changed my mentality and have even switched from Studio Art major to Animal Sciences. I want to make a living training dogs full time. I am a bit ashamed that I ever used such outdated, harsh methods, but I am very grateful that I was educated when I was. My dog has benefitted so much! Thank you!

[@maggie2815]

the way i genuinely clapped and cheered for him when he succeeded,,, i am jacob's biggest fan

[@eliaskivenmaa4609]

Yesh! Finally a good positive understanding trainer. He actually teaches dogs what to do and not just what not to do. Like you can get the treat if you do right. And not just pull his leash saying you can not get that, I stop you. He's not between the thing the dog wants and the dog. He's the tool the dog is gonna get the treat with. So the dog doesn't try to get the thing when he's not around stopping them.

[@Celineylovesyou]

What a brilliant dog! I just signed up for PetFlow auto ship last night! We usually spoil our dog and feed raw, but my husband and I are trying to save more money so we can adopt another dog in a year or two. Plus, kibble is easier to store and train with. After a lot of research, I decided to go with Fromm, but they don't sell it anywhere in Cambridge, MA. I'd have to drive at least 30 minutes to a suburb to get it from a retailer. Having it shipped is so much easier! Hope my dog likes it although I'm sure he'll LOVE it since he loves all food.
