I’ve noticed that many of you are commenting on the fact the fact that we are promoting Halo’s vegan line of food and treats in this video. I want you to know that I hear you and understand your points. I thought I was clear in the video that this food is great for dogs with allergic reactions to meat based food and a way to offer your dog a little variety. I am not saying that this food is for all dogs, but I just want you to be aware of your options out there. As with any diet, do your independent research and discuss your dog’s nutrition plan with experts you trust. Great feedback as always guys! Thanks for being a part of the Dog Training Revolution! Zak

Brandon makes me think real hard about my life purpose. As a huge foreign fan of " dog" tv series i bought this book as a support kzbin.infoUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq . But the part that brandon wrote about how he become a trainer of homeless dogs makes me cry. It wakes me up and force me to think hard about what i'm doing in my life right now. He was willing to risk his job for what he believed : every homeless dog must have hope and a home. He committed to his promise that he would help saving lives. He never gave up and willing to sacrifice his secure career for it. That part alone changed my life, not even mention all dogs' stories he told throughout the book. They are all inspirational.

[@cgalleg1]

Our 2-year old pittie has meat-based allergies, so I was excited to see a brand that we can use to supplement her diet. Thanks!! Additionally, can you help with dogs who get overly excited and bite ankles really hard? Our pup does this when she's acting out, and she will actually break the skin on our ankles. We try to divert her attention with a toy, but she'll often go back for the ankles after a few seconds. We try to not exhibit frustration or anger when she does this, but it's really painful! We've also tried the high-pitch yelp, but it doesn't seem too effective. Any tips or a video would be great! We love your content!

[@SAMMYTASTISCH]

My retriever does that too. Its not really hard though but people get scared if he tenderly bites their arms. We tried to train him not to do it but the snappy commentaries of all the "bitten" people dont really help us 😪

[@TeslaNick2]

Use a clicker (look up how to "charge" the clicker). Have puppy around you but DON'T MOVE. Click and treat for not going after your ankles. Keep your rate of clicks high at the beginning (once every few seconds - use tiny treats), once puppy is engaged in the game, shuffle your feet a tiny bit - click and treat for not going after your ankles. Repeat the "game" making it harder and harder by moving your feet more and more whilst puppy is successfully ignoring your ankles. Put puppy away in play pen/crate when people are walking about and puppy is likely to practice ankle biting. Keep puppy on a training lead to prevent puppy from getting to ankles when not in a crate/play pen. Keep it fun and positive, don't try shouting at or "correcting" a puppy with force. Prevention and positive training is key. This is very common in herding breeds like Border Collies and needs to be taught at a young age. A 12 month old ankle biter is a serious problem.

Does he sit stay while you run away flailing your arms around and yelling in a circle around him? Does he sit stay when theres a dog in the far distance? Does he sit stay for a dog at a medium distance? How about people in the far or medium distance? There are many many many steps you should take before you can expect him to sit stay for a squirrel or dog that are close by/on the same path as you/only across the street. Good luck!!! Impulse control can be a tough one. Consistency is key. Your dog may be stubborn but you need to just make sure you're more stubborn. :)

Zak, I get that you need the sponsorship money, but you should at least put a disclaimer before advertising vegan dog food. Most dogs do best with a diet with large amounts of meat. Similar proteins found in vegetables are harder/impossible to digest. If you want to make this type of major dietary change from the norm CONSULT YOUR VET. The company selling the food is obviously going to tell you it's amazing and maybe even make unfounded claims about it's health benefits. Can some dogs do alright on a vegan diet? Sure. Can some do better on a vegan diet? Probably. But that's al based on the individual's health and genetics.

[@thespaceace8164]

Mate, some people will have a dog that's sick, assume it's allergies, and change the diet without actually taking the pet into the vet. This could potentially lead to the real/underlying cause of the issue being left untreated. I don't know about you, but I can't tell what an animal is allergic to just by looking at it.

[@thespaceace8164]

Well, here's one source: healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/10/10/vegan-dog-food.aspx, and another: www.whyanimalsdothething.com/why-a-vegan-diet-will-kill-your-cat-and-sicken-your-dog/, a post by a vet: drferox.tumblr.com/post/164720596787/what-do-you-think-about-the-people-who-make-their, an article on the issue: www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/veagn-diet-for-carnivores/ I'd add more, but I honestly don't really see a point. My argument wasn't even that dogs can't survive on a vegan diet or that it isn't beneficial to some of it. I want people to know that they should talk to their fricking vet if an animal in their care is having issues, not just try and treat it themselves. And if it is a problem that can be solved with a change in food intake? The vet can help with that too and do it in a way that ensures the animal has a smooth transition and gets all the required nutrients. As long as someone's keeping tabs on their pet's weight and energy levels and working with their vet, I do not care if they want to feed a niche diet.

He is suggesting some dogs might want some variety in their diet and other dogs might have allegeries to certain meat products. Thats all. My puppy eats a mixture of beef treats, ham, chicken but also apple , carrots and vegan biscuits. She loves them all and is incredibly healthy because of the variety in her diet. You can google the research for this online, it's very easy to find.

[@mikaylawinter7373]

You should not have a puppy if you don’t realize that dogs can have ALLERGIES TO MEAT PRODUCTS.

[@katicat7580]

They’re omnivores actually

[@nayas.9376]

She did so good wow 😭❤️

[@ileanakanemarketing5306]

GREAT training approach.

[@Brynne221]

Dogs are carnivores. They HAVE to eat meat. They can't really digest plants that well and won't get all their nutrients. A raw diet or at the very least a meat-based kibble is best for your dog. Dogs will slowly starve to death being fed a vegan diet. People can digest plant matter and can choose to not eat meat. Don't do this to your dog though, they rely on their owners to do what's best for them. And don't take my word for it, do your own research, and look up Dr. Karen Becker with Mercola health. She's a wholistic veterinarian.

[@saint3614]

Agreed wholeheartedly. Forcing Veganism on an animal is cruel, and incredibly narcissistic/selfish. Not too far from animal abuse.

[@SuperSbarlow1]

Dogs are omnivores NOT carnivores, but yea they need some meat in their diet unlike people. I’m vegan but would never make my dogs do it.

[@danialezero93]

You have watched Pet Fooled? It’s a documentary. You can look for “Husky squad” food videos where they share about it. I just watched it yesterday on Netflix and it made me understand why dogs love eating meat and how they are being killed slowly with that dry diet. Also you are right about the food but sadly the kibble sold for them is mainly grains (corn, and wheat) already because it’s cheaper than all meat kibble. So I’m planning to try this for my dogs soon if possible.

[@danialezero93]

Shawn Barlow how are they omnivores? I thought they share 99% of their genome with the gray wolves 🐺

[@oreopiper33]

Dogs are more like human they should eat healthy too and other breeds like labs husky and etc. thats their own routine too for having a shiny fur and long life

[@springsogourne]

It’s obvious many people here don’t understand that vegan diets can provide all the protein a body needs. It’s just as healthy for dogs as a meat based diet if done properly.

[@shannonh8241]

I love knowing there is this line of Vegan treats! I have a Dalmatian that I recently found out has several allergies.. one big one is meat! Especially chicken.. it’s very hard to find treats that don’t have ANY chicken byproducts. The only one I can find is liver treats, which she also can’t have! Thanks Zak!

Honestly really disappointed to see you pushing vegan dog products =( Love your training videos but I thought you of all people would know dogs aren't meant to thrive on vegan diets.

[@KaiSub]

It's meant for dogs with meat allergies. Not dogs with sensitive owners.

[@eddiecortez7673]

Can’t you stfu and move on if it doesn’t apply to you? Are you buying any? No? Then shut up and move on. You people always find something to bitch about.

[@mikaylawinter7373]

he literally specified that it works for dogs with allergies. newsflash SOME DOGS HAVE ALLERGIES AND LITERALLY CANNOT EAT CERTAIN MEAT. He can advertise whatever he wants, this is him being all inclusive to different dogs needs. Honestly really disappointed so many people are so stupid and are just looking for a reason to complain:(

[@wolfforce58205]

"...or for people who want to give their dog a taste of the vegan lifestyle." is the part I take issue with. I've seen too many pictures online of animals who are clearly starving on vegan diets or going to the vet because they are nutritionally starved. Dogs aren't as bad off as cats of course, who need the taurine or they'll slowly suffer until they die of the deficiency, but it's still an issue that is becoming more prevalent. Deficiencies can cause frequent UTIs (which as a frequent UTI sufferer myself I can say is horrible to live with!), loss of vision, and even death. Given how great Zak's training videos are (I know I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone!) and his sizeable online presence it's a really big deal what he promotes because he has a big audience and some real weight as a great dog trainer to really influence people's decisions for their pets. If your dog has allergies by all means you should be doing whatever is best for them, with input from your vet. My last dog couldn't eat chicken so I more than understand that. But that's not what I'm complaining about. If you're so upset about people "looking for a reason to complain" maybe you should avoid complaining yourself, yeah?

I just now tried this and it does work even with my German Shepard, and I am like 98% sure that he has anxiety, plus after I got back home from walking him there was a cat in my front garden and if he even sees a cat he usually either goes ballistic or he is using 99% of his brain and unable to listen to me but I was able to get him to sit and stay, and in that moment that was a win for me. also I personally had problems on the walk first of which was that my dog would not take treats from me at all and the way I figured out that worked for me was every time he did something good I would reward him by petting him and verbally telling him he did a good job. this was my report of my experience. thank you for helping me train my dog.

[@mikaylawinter7373]

Some dogs have allergies. Baffling that most these dog owners commenting don’t know that that’s a thing yet are chastising Zak for promoting it. You clearly aren’t a good owner if you didn’t know there’s a possibility your dog can have severe allergies to some meats. You all are just so eager to jump on and attack someone on something you know nothing about. Y’all are fn dumb.

[@mikaylawinter7373]

New Poo they have allergic reactions that are uncomfortable, painful or even life threatening. Nowadays we can avoid that. If you didn’t know there was a possibility your dog could have allergies, AND you come on this video to attack the person who’s using his platform to give those dogs an alternative food source, you’re a bad owner. I’m in no way shape or form vegan or even vegetarian however I’m not dumb enough not to see the benefits of having an alternative food for dogs who’s immune systems can’t handle the meat product. Don’t be so eager to attack someone just because you have your own “beliefs”

[@mikaylawinter7373]

New Poo I answered your question in my first sentence. That is quite literally what happened/ happens to dogs before vegan products. They have uncomfortable, painful or even life threatening reactions (since you couldn’t read the first time) and now that we have these products, that can be avoided for your pup. Everyone who’s against vegan or vegetarianism is attacking Zak for simply promoting a product that IS beneficial for some. But clearly y’all who say it’s unnecessary and cruel are plain idiotic anyway so I guess there’s no need to defend it😂 can’t argue with stupid. hope you never have a dog who has allergies because you clearly don’t know how to handle it!

[@mikaylawinter7373]

your name literally has the word “poo” in it you couldn’t hurt my feelings if you tried 😂 your ignorance just gives me a headache, that’s all 🤷‍♀️

Where were you when I first got my pup 4 yrs ago?

Thanks will apply and thanks for making this.

[@superastonished4438]

This must look extremely dumb to the neighbors

[@all_4_paws797]

Dogs are not vegan! They are carnivores they need meat! So don't just feed your dog vegetables and whatever they need meat, that's why a raw diet is the best thing for your dog, just take a second to think what are dogs in the wild eating they're not eating kibble and they're probably eating very little vegetables and stuff they're eating what they kill which is meat organs and bones.

[@TeslaNick2]

Domestic dogs are not able to survive in the wild, raw feeding is not based on evidence and nothing more than a fad.

[@whatteamwildcats4033]

All_4_Paws you do know that the first thing they tell you she adopting is don't gives your dog food w/bones right?....the bones could get stuck and choke them

[@all_4_paws797]

You give dogs raw bones not cooked bones, cook bones get stuck and or splinter and cooked bones can kill dogs, I've never heard of a dog dying from a raw bone... And I feed my dog raw bones all the time and the raw diet. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but just do some research on raw diet and look up raw bones vs cooked bones and you should look up the dog dad raw feeding 101 and do some research.

[@TeslaNick2]

+All_4_Paws I don't agree with feeding raw. Raw feeding has no evidence it is of any benefit to dogs and the associated risks are enough to justify avoiding feeding raw. You're 100% correct about cooked bones though. The whole notion of feeding raw is based on a false premise.

Zak your videos are really awesome and helpful!! I’m an avid fan. I have been using already some of your training to my 10-month old Labrador Retriever, Mali. Step by step we are doing it. We have our dog since 2 months and we have a problem in terms of nipping/biting especially when he’s overexcited/overjoyed. Would you make a video about it especially for dogs in „rebellious” stage?? 😅❤️ sincerely

[@PumpkinBecki]

Hi Zac, I know you talk about the dog at the beginning of the videos, but would you mind adding into your video description a) how old the dog is you are working with, and b) may be how long/often you've been working with them. It would certainly help me get some context for applying your training to my mini dachshund puppy :) xx

[@all_4_paws797]

This is very helpful since I am helping train my grandparents dog that is going to be trained as a protection dog and will need to learn how to behave in every situation and listen in every situation.

[@TeslaNick2]

I highly advise you join your local Shutzhund/IPO club for training dogs for protection work, it's not something to mess with and can land you and your dog in a whole heap of trouble if you mess it up (which you will without an experienced trainer's guidance). You can easily create a monster and no-one wants that !

[@all_4_paws797]

@@TeslaNick2 I know what I'm doing, lol but thanks! :) The dog that I am working with is NOT doing bite work, all he's going to be learning is to bark on cue to scare away people and stop barking on cue and to bark at cars that drive by but not Chase and bark once or twice when someone knocks on the door... It's pretty simple stuff it just takes a lot of obedience training with the dog first.

OK. No probs, the phrase "protection work" implies bite work which is why the alarm bells started ringing...lol...

[@mochu7691]

I maybe 2 months late but... A dog trainer said so himself that Vegan Treats are ALSO good for your dog with allergies. He didn't say to force your Dog to be Vegan for life, yes meat is what dogs eats and has its own nutrients, but Vegan treats can help as much to give your dog proper nutrition. Think of it like humans. Mostly, 99% percent of the world eats meat, but we also need vegetables, but nobody ever said to always eat vegetables. Im just saying its ALSO good for you dogs to have some good nutrition in them. Its my opinion that you should feed dogs Vegan treats 1-2 times a day. Dogs are Carnivores and Omnivores at the same time, its actually up to the owner on how they proper feed their dog with the right amount of nutrients. Also, Thanks Zak, my puppy is well trained and i brag about it at school because of you! I support you, cause im also a pet lover! Keep up the amazing work!
