Thank you so much for not making your sessions look like magic and sharing your frustration. I was in tears tonight walking my reactive dog. I had thought we made progress and then she went back to the old behaviors . Seeing this made me realize that it can be frustrating but to keep going

[@heathowens8581]

The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the kzbin.infoUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.

[@roxiefrox252]

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Zak’s patience with this dog. It can be frustrating to train a reactive dog.

[@janhankins911]

It can be frustrating to train any dog. But it's particularly frustrating and challenging with reactive and/or fearful dogs. We've got an adolescent at home right now, and I am constantly having to remind myself "teenager; she's supposed to push boundaries and "forget" what I've taught her".

It is pathetic if Zac George calls this dog training...

[@thatpenguingurl]

This series has been life-changing. My dog is a 60 lb Catahoula/pit mix rescue. She's had MAJOR behavior and reactivity issues. My dog even started exhibiting more aggressive behavior after she was introduced to a prong collar. While all training must have consistency, utilizing Zak's methods allowed me to see every minute as a training session because it's practical and makes sense. Training this dog has been harder than raising a kid. The trainer told me not to use a harness but it works so much better for her! The trainer told me NOT to walk or play with her before our sessions so he could always observe her at her worst. That didn't make sense to me. My dog started not wanting any leash or lead. She knew it meant "training time." Now she's been bringing me the leash for last week just begging to go out to explore the world (and doing so in a much more socially acceptable manner). Thanks, Zak.

[@Flippokid]

That trainer sounds like an idiot.

[@kfc3930]

[@DaveDEF82]

@@kfc3930 But you blame R+ instead of the trainer ... :-D

[@thevintagemom5455]

Melissa I agree with you. Zak is a good trainer. Some tactics take longer than others. Also, it is ok to employ every tool you need to, as long as you are working with the dog . I had to have my beautiful pit mix euthanized a few weeks ago because she got away from me and attacked a dog. I regularly worked on her reactivity to dogs from the time she was a puppy. I had 2 different trainers, with the second being an expensive ecollar program. The ecollar trainer told me to rely on the ecollar, but I had to run her with a harness, the ecollar and a star mark pinch collar to keep her from pulling me over. I also went early in the morning to avoid seeing any other dogs. It was something that I couldnt train out of her. I am now fostering-to-adopt a Shepherd-Lab mix from the shelter who thankfully is not dog reactive. But she is reactive to men. Zack's tactics are working with her. It is slow and steady.

Your patience and humaneness is incredible! Your perspective in working with dogs could help parents with their children. I'm not equating children with dogs, but learning how to interpret behaviors, learning how not to take it personal -work with it, breaking things down into steps...so many benefits for parent training....not equating parents with dogs either. But honestly, many parents could use your classes and benefit!

[@therufflifepositivedogtraining]

I love how you have been taking the time to explain throughout this series why you aren't using choke, prong, or E-collars on Moria. I train dogs with the positive reinforcement training methods, and I love to hear you say why you prefer to use them over force, corrections, or negative consequences. You are truly training the dog when it figures out for itself that it is better to pay attention to you instead of reacting to its surroundings or other living things. I have loved this series. Thank you for taking on such a challenging dog so that people like me can learn how to train them with positive training methods!

I'd really love to see you work more with smaller dogs (aside from the one-off videos you have.) A lot of people don't bother with training small dogs which is how so many turn into yappy little nightmares. I've got a small puppy now, and I'm trying to train her, but not everything translates well to a smaller package.

[@janhankins911]

Yes, I'd like to see Zak work with a small dog, as well. We now have a small breed dog and I'm finding I've had to adjust my training a lot. I've found it's actually easier (physically) to train a larger dog. Training my itty-bitty, I'm bending, stooping, and sitting on the floor much more often. And my itty-bitty doesn't seem to be "getting" the entire concept of house training and I never had a problem with the big dogs grasping the concept of "go outside to pee/poop".

[@MinPinSteve]

I concur. I have a 9 month MinPin. He’s a high energetic obedient pup. We’re having troubles with stay and has poor door manners. We’re working on it but it would be nice to see how to better hold a leash,etc. Great job Zak!

[@janhankins911]

One of the best things I've found is to get the little ones out and about and introduce them to other dogs, especially larger dogs so they won't get "small dog syndrome" and end up in trouble later.

I appreciate the 2 week training mark or goal. By having a shorter deadline, it helped me to understand what is most important or ESSENTIAL for a dog to grasp (and owner to focus on).

[@emilyromanello9476]

It's so nice to see how small steps can add up over time to noticeable progress...and even better how it teaches the dog to listen because they WANT to rather than to avoid negative consequences. Thank you also for showing the treat size, that was helpful.

I would love to see a video about what the follow-up plan is for Moira. Spending significant time on training her is exactly what she needs - but the reality is most families don't have that much time or education to train a dog like Moira. If she stayed with Zak I'm sure she would progress and eventually be able to lower her reactivity. What's a realistic follow-up plan or recommendations to make sure her forever family is able to continue to see progress. This is coming from a Reactive German Shephard dog momma and is meant in kindness. I've seen too many dogs like Moira returned to the shelter because of regression. Just wondering what Zak would be able to do to help make sure that doesn't happen.

I want to say thanks to your videos because I know I don't have a perfect dog but I'm still trying to train him.

[@asherthepug6337]

I believe the pup in your profile pic is your dog and he is perfect!!

@@asherthepug6337 thank you so much for the comment I appreciate it so much! Any ideas on recall?

Yes! I have a Belasky mix and she always talk like she's so frustrated 😅

Mine too! When i say “No” he talks back. My neighbour complained about his barking and asked if i can put a bark collar! So annoying! Mine is a toddler and they never understand.

She is skinny, but young healthy females can be skinny the first 2 years of their life.

I love watching Zak's vids even though I don't have a dog 🐶

[@b9904]

Love this guy. My dog is so much better now after following the basics in Inertias playlist. So, I kept watching the series after

[@kimmyandmochifamily4812]

Zaks so amazing person...and very long patience to a dog.. My mochi also hardheaded sometimes.. But she so funny to...

[@hollywolly2612]

My girl is super reactive and following your videos is really helping. She's getting loads better. I still can't let her off lead but it's early days and she's come so far. Really amazing series, your patience is endless!!

[@popcorninpigs]

Zak running away from the dead fish cracked me up 🤣🤣

[@bhavdeep152]

U are such a patient person Keep up the good work :)

[@katherinevazquez5535]

We are getting a German Shepherd puppy this summer. I’ve enjoyed watching Moira and it is really making me (and the kids) look forward to training and loving our new puppy.

👍 for the best series I've ever seen on KZbin!!! Great work,Zak,Bree,and Moira 💖 🥰

[@lindaeducar165]

You give me such hope for my rescue! Thank you for what you do!

[@1952Tango]

I am way behind everyone else because I just discovered this video series. It is fantastic! I have an over-reactive 8 months old German Shepherd and although I have had high energy dogs before, I have never had a dog like this. My big frustration is that I am in a wheelchair and I work with my dog from the wheelchair and from a scooter. There are so many things that Zak does with the dog that I am simply incapable of doing. I am trying to take the ideas from the video and try and find a way to come as close as I can to replicating them given my limitations.

[@kalobnichols267]

My wife likes to watch me struggle then just film it instead 🤣🤣🤣

[@mythic_snake]

Aww, Moira is such a smart cookie.

[@WaggingTailsDogTraining]

Hi zak, i know you will never see this but i just really wanted to thank you so much for this video, it's amazing to have influencers like you promoting positive reinforcement, because I have seen a bunch of trainers tell us to use force in training, but you have really inspired me to be patient and kind to my dog. Thank you again!!

[@kellyjones4300]

This is the same video I've been watching for weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@grammyto2grandboys375]

I so enjoy your videos and try to apply what I have learned with my 10 month old puppy boy named Koda. You guys rock!

Zak is the best dog trainer I love his content he helps me a lot

[@galaxyandluna]

Same

[@cd4536]

I like him a lot too. I even got his books. However, I was disappointed when her took Kona and trained her. Those kinds of "puppy bootcamps" are not something that is typically recommended by vets and trainers. They are most commonly used bu people with money who want the dog but don't want to take the time to train a dog. I was disappointed because Zak talked about this in his book but then did the thing he preached against. I didn't watch that series because of that. I like that he is taking in foster pups and helping them get adopted though.

[@dogchronicles3058]

Please make a video when she finds a family. I would love to see who takes this smart girl

[@carolkelly7]

Brilliantly relevant to me and my dog/me issues. Thanks so much

[@mikeymechanic]

I love moira!! I bet if you could keep her you would, surely your attached to her by now??? She's so lovable.. I'm fortunate that iv a German same age as moira and they are extremely similar, I'm so lucky to have my girl bell she is family at 9 months old still learning and training she's such a joy to my life and she's come along way in herself the change is something else, moira loves you too please try keep her ❤️

[@applehead_mjinnocent3826]

Zak! You are amazing!

[@pearsonpets]

I’m almost certain she’s a German Shepard crossed with a Black and tan Kelpie. Looks EXACTLY like my friend’s dog Max. What a beautiful dog!!

[@tiffanywairimukariuki2090]

You can do it we believe in you❤

[@lexusdick]

Interesting to watch. I have a lot of experience with GSD's , and we have just picked up a nearly 3 year old rescue who is like Moira on steroids. And a dog! He has had some good training before, and gets a lot right. But he "has a Moira" when taken to the vets, guarding the car boot, guarding a bench seat on a walk, sitting at a table in a bar, and (some) other dogs whilst on a lead. We have sorted out the home environment, and are making glacial progress on the other stuff. Zac's example has been a big help.
