How to Stop Any Leash Problem with Any Dog on Day 1!

[@sunflowerpony]

Thank you! I used your method for leash walking with my extremely active collie when he was a puppy. He walks so amazing!!! This tip alone helped so much. Now i have two collie puppies and i tuned in for a refresher and im glad to see this video! I appreciate you always providing all this great training for free! ❤

[@HeatherMostella]

Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. I made the mistake and got 2 puppies at the same time. I was unaware of the challenge. I recently had to put my 10 year old pup to rest due to a mass growing behind her eye and Cushing's disease. I thought I could handle 2 puppies, but I am learning that I have NO IDEA how to train a dog. My 10 year old, I had the first 2 months with her, I had been unemployeed at the time. I thought it couldn't be too hard, I was told their breed was smart and super easy to train. These videos and a few other things I have learned about having 2 puppies at once, has given me hope that I can make this work and I can train my puppies to be the best dogs in the future. I thought I was going to have to give one up, but I hate when people take the responsibility of a puppy, then decide to hand it over to someone else. The learning is still slow going, but I am learning to be a better trainer, and the puppies are teaching me patience.

[@kc-n-sassy]

i was once told training 2 puppies is as hard as training 4 dogs.... its sooooo true. train them 1 at a time and train them the same thing. wait till they perfect it to bring them out together.

[@nqm20]

I am in a same boat as you

[@kc-n-sassy]

@@nqm20 im not crazy enough to get 2 puppies at 1 time... I have 5 yr old mutt 2 yr full size aussie 1 22 week old mini american shepard (mini aussie) My puppy is crazy but the aussie and the mutt have got used to him and his crazy ways but i also appreciate their help with the puppy. the big dogs are great role models for him very well behaved in any situation. The puppy got crazy and ran towards my biggest dog she barked and he stopped in his tracks... she stood up and pinned him to the floor... he stopped charging her at that moment and now when she barks he stops playing rough. the big aussie on the other hand plays with him all the time except during walks he walks at the puppy's speed and he walks right beside the puppy. both big dogs are off leash trained so no leashes to get tangled except the puppy he has a leash on.

the series still in progress. not sure how many episodes left. I'm looking forward to when Shade is 8months. my rottweiler start to challenge me a lot when he is 7-8months old and positive only is not working anymore. I also just adopt corso recently, he is soon to be 8months old, but his temperament still like a 4months old puppy. I'm curious of Shade's progress since he should be around my corso age. I wonder if all corso mental development is late or its just mine. hahhaha

What's funny is I used to think Dog Daddy was too good to be true, thought it was all razzle dazzle for the camera, but thanks to you Zak, whom I discovered not to long ago because of the video you made for DD, I have looked into DD much more because the outrage. Only to find, he is legit and a really great guy! Thanks Zak for leading me to research Dog Daddy, I am actually a great fan of his now! The Joel Beckman podcast with Dog Daddy was a great watch!

[@wild.forestflower]

Beware, these trainers don’t show you the negative effects forceful training has on them long term. Lack of trust in their guardian/leader, more likely to lash out and show aggression. There is science nowadays proving that traditional training can backfire and has lasting negative effects.

[@kc-n-sassy]

im wondering if we watched the same video.. that dog was ripping his ass every way but loose... i must need glasses to me it looked like zak was getting his ass kicked by a puppy!

[@wild.forestflower]

If this dog didn’t age well it’s not Zach’s fault. It’s not his dog that he’s working with on a daily basis. The dog needs structure and leadership from the owner. The dog owner must be the dog trainer, you can’t pay someone to completely train your dog. Just saying for all the weirdos spamming your comment section. They want to keep abusing their animals since it’s easier than learning to train properly. Keep kicking and screaming like a child holding onto old ways, you look ridiculous. As a guardian for animals you need to do better. None of these extra comments are hurting Zach, they are actually boosting the video. ✌🏽 have a great day!

[@AnimaTriste]

But these methods should produce lasting results for whole life...😂😂😂😂 Because aversive training is just ticking time bomb. You malevolent clowns...

[@sarahr4855]

We did something very similar in the service dog training program. They call it the leash pressure game and it’s helped a lot with not just pulling but walking together as a team.

[@expendable4h002]

Or you can direct your dog where to go. Just saying.

lol best line “big..pink garbage can for example” Like I mentioned before, I trained an amazing dog mainly by watching Zak’s videos. It’s effective and it works, and it’s comfortable for me and my dog.

[@JenKirby]

I agree with you about the harness. The only difference in our methods is that I just stand still if the dog pulls. They are usually pulling because they want to sniff something interesting so they are rewarded when they relax the tension on the lead and then they can move on to sniff the next bit of hedge.

[@albertcovington9942]

Brother...you first posted this dog 8 months ago. Hes likely 90 lbs by now. Where is this dog?

We all know that Zack is not able to handle any bull breed, once they've reached 6 months old, with his feelings based approach.

[@barbarabozeman6163]

I have two Aussies. Trained both in a group obedience class. In ten weeks they knew on and off leash healing (with pace adjustments), stand for exam, sit and down stay, recall snd figure eight. Started one at 5 1/2 months, the other at eight months. It's not neccessary to take weeks just to teach them to heal, like Zak does. I actually haven't seen him actually train any fog besides his own. And that was tricks. I don't need my dog to do tricks, I want them to obey me under any circumstances. He wouldn't know what to do with a vicious dog.

[@SilleIN]

Force free training is a myth and this video is an excellent example of it. “Dog has automatic stop” after the dog was stopped by the leash. If you see how many times the leash stops or corrects the dogs movement you see the concept fail. The leash is force, a fence is force. Anything that inhibits the dogs free movement is a force- had it not been there the dog would have run off- hence a force.

my dogs both walk off leash so.. how impressive is that and i trained them to do it...

[@GiGi-dd5cr]

@@kc-n-sassy actually really great. Some dogs are harder than others but if you can truly walk off leash without any reactivity and with great recall, that’s awesome.

[@kc-n-sassy]

@@GiGi-dd5cr i have a secret.. yes both big dogs walk off leash attention heel...but this crazy ass 15 week old mini american shepard (mini aussie blue merle) is driving me batshit crazy lol he is worse than the dog in this video lol he does sit stay leave it etc.. put a leash on this puppy and he plays run here run there holy crap lol but in his defense and mine he hasn't been further than our yard too much due to his shots not being done till next wednesday...lol

Whats the issue with you and the other trainer Dog Daddy? Thats what I want to know. Lots of things being said about you two. And its not a good look for either one of you. Two trainers should be able to train dpgs without the bs. Do better.

[@RacquelHamilton-o5o]

yes, agree

[@barbarabozeman6163]

Zac started posting edited videos of DD training. DD saves vicious dogs from euthanasia. Zac pretends to be a dog trainer. DD simply defended himself. Zac has bad mouthed other trainers. Thing is, I've never seen a video of Zac actually training a dog. I've looked for them.

So cool

[@shellyjene2066]

I have a 1-year-old standard poodle who will sit and lay down with treats. But without treats She's not interested in obeying. How do you bridge that gap of treats and no treats?

[@kc-n-sassy]

try toys and different things... dont give her a treat everytime

[@duppsydaisy]

What about a german wire hair thats not very smart, doesnt listen and has to chase everything and hunt everything...?

If I watched this in my neighborhood I'd laugh but at least he is walking the dog.

[@furry.portraits]

Once more how does this spill over when he is a full grown adult Cana Corso and he is hormones hit and he becomes a guard dog. How will this stop him from guarding.

it wont.. they got shade a better trainer.

My friend kept giving her reactive dog treats during walks and the dog got chonky 😅

[@ellenlewison4423]

Too many commands which can confuse dogs. Who is walking who? Without treats as a reward, what happens? Dogs are pack animals and obey the Alpha. Zak is too emotional, and with a real confrontation or threat on a walk, I doubt the dog would choose Zak to follow. The dog is left to decide what to do based on his/her thoughts. I do not take Zak's training methods seriously. He's a weak dog leader.

[@Keosha-ok6de]

🥱🥱 Dog Daddy is Soo much Better At the moment Dog Daddy is #1 So congratulations to being runner up 😏

[@jadeforestco]

Congratulations, you aren't the winner but the runner up for the most uneducated comment! Dog daddy specializes in aggressive dogs. This trainer is training puppies. There is no comparison, because they specialize in different areas of dog training.

[@juicyb8946]

So he only “trains” puppies snd small dogs got it. So he’s not a real trainer but a glorified dog walker. 😂

[@marshallmiller]

Promoting cutting dog tails is DISGUSTING 🤮

[@zakgeorge]

We do not promote that. He was a rescue dog and the breeder had done this.

The best thing that I did for my dog is chuck all things dog training in the bin and take to heart and go back to my “old ways” by following advice from Mark Dubose and this guy (Robert): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJe8lXuLo7ifatksi=89EVuGgfmP4LWKpH

[@GabbyLowe-v2v]

Hi Zak. I am going to comment under every video of yours in hopes this reaches you, as I am desperate. I know there’s a lot of controversy in the dog training world right now amongst online content dog trainers, and I know there are many that have tried to denounce you and tell you you are wrong for “calling out” aversive dog trainers and training policies. Maybe they have become desensitized to the “front lines”, what I like to call them at least. I read a post that said dogs don’t have a voice, but I do. A loud one. The truth is I’m not loud enough. I can’t be as loud as you. I write to you in fear of dogs current lives. In retribution of past dogs lives. There is a shelter (I know there are so, so many right now.) that is killing more and more dogs and that is on a dangerous path to a possible mass execution when they lose their insurance by the end of this month. The shelter in question is the Spokane Humane Society in Spokane, Washington. I am a former worker from this shelter. When I worked there I spent the majority of my time speaking out against the usage of prong collars, aversive training techniques, the verbal abuse of my fellow workers from management that went completely unaddressed, and then finally against the implementation of an “emergency training technique” where they trained all staff and volunteers to choke a dog out by its leash if it tried to bite. It happened to a dog that was attacked in his own kennel, and then subjected to a stressful medical examination with people he had no trust in. The notes said they hung him by his leash for 5 minutes. Then they threw him in a kennel that was not his own in another part of the shelter, with no food, blankets, toys, or water and then walked away. I can still hear his cries. This training was implemented by a dog “trainer” in my area, purely balanced k9. This was a trainer the shelter paired with for the prong collar training and where they would send dogs to for a board and train program. One of the dogs that has had its life ended might as well have been murdered directly by her. His name was Brownie. Brownie was a sweet little pit Bull, had stress since he was in a shelter but usually went under my radar since he was doing fairly well. One day brownie decided he was obsessed with the hoses that were in every play yard, and resource guarded one with a dog walker on staff. He broke skin on her ankle, so he was immediately placed in routine bite quarantine. 10 days isolated in a kennel and only taken out to go pee, in a muzzle. This was state requirements. Not all dogs put on bite quarantine were assigned prong collars, but their usage was becoming more and more popular there, and I truly wonder if it had to do with his breed. Only certain staff members were able to walk him. They were usually the ones who were much heavier handed and corrective based. Brownie bit another dog walker when he was being leashed back up and taken back to his isolation kennel. One day after this, he disappeared. No one knew where he was going or when he went. He was sent to Purely Balanced k9. We received little updates, I had to ask and pry information every time. Most of the time the management had no idea how he was doing and assured they’d ask the trainer. We received “he’s doing well so far, not displaying any of the behaviors that he did in the shelter”. Purely balanced k9 had returned him saying he displayed no concerning behaviors, and to paraphrase basically said he was the perfect little pittie. And for that, she said she thought he should be behaviorally euthanized. She reasoned that it made him unpredictable to be so good. I understand behavioral euthanasia is complicated and is part of the rescue worlds’ conversation. And sometimes it’s the hard reality of shelter life-the philosophical debate of what is responsible homing. But this was a murder. She may not have pushed that final drug, but she killed him with her irresponsibility and incompetency as a trainer. Since then another resource guarder has been put to death. He was a victim of the emergency training technique and could not calm himself down after biting. He bit a staff member and was sentenced to die. He spent the last 10 days of his life confused and isolated in a kennel, unable to be touched or handled by the people that loved him. The shelter is scheduled to lose their insurance by the end of July. The dogs will undergo behavioral evaluations from people who have no behavioral background to see who is eligible to be adopted. Those deemed ineligible will be put to death. These dogs are my very good friends. I have personally worked with them and each one thrived with kindness and positive reinforcement. Each one desperately wants to find their forever human, and with the right one could thrive and live very loving and happy lives. There are already dogs not listed on the website as adoptable that have not been adopted, and I fear for the worst for them. I’m begging for your help, for your voice that is louder than mine. I have used my own and it’s not enough. I can’t lose another of these sweet, kind souls to the shelter managements incompetence and lack of understanding of behaviors. They have listed long term dogs with a $0 adoption fee, but have not updated the public on what it will mean for them if they are not adopted. The public thinks the shelter dogs are safe in this no kill shelter. To anyone reading this: Save a life. Spread this story. Please. Loki Larry, Dr Pepper, Beethoven, Athena, Copper, all the rest of the pups at the Spokane Humane Society beg you too. The workers at the Spokane Humane Society are dedicated amazing human beings who would give anything for those dogs. Their shelter has failed them. The Spokane Humane Society needs a thorough update on training and needs a management and director change asap. And these dogs need rescuing from their rescue.
