As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

thanks for showing the tantrum. my pup does that when she's tired instead of napping. she will start getting nippy and walks around like a drunk sailor, stumbling on toys, barking at everything. I thought she was aggressive and thought pups would just fall asleep when they were tired because that's what you usually see. turns out she's not aggressive, just a toddler!

I love this series. It's so comforting to know that even an expert trainer can have a goofy puppy! My puppy Princess is such a goof ball and I've had so many positive experiences with trying to get our communication down! Sure sometimes it's frustrating to me but I also think about how frustrating it is for my puppy!! I don't see these hiccups of unwanted behaviors as bad anymore, rather I just need more time and patience for my puppy because I can tell that she is trying. Love you guys so much and thank you for the guidance with my first puppy ❤️ 😁

[@sonnyandcobi]

Resource guarding is of particular interest to me. Six years ago I got a poodle that a vet talked an elderly couple into giving up. He was 4 yrs old. Just about all they taught him was resource guarding. The man would take his toys, food and treats away from him and tease him with his cane. They were going to put him down because he bit the wife and she was afraid of him. They finally agreed to let him go and I took him. He no longer guards his dish but we still have trouble with treats and anything he finds on the floor. We have had success that when he picks something up, if I see it coming I also grab it. I don't pull on it, just hold it. When I tell him to let it go, he does. It might take a minute but he will let go. Tiny successes. I finally got him to sit but not lay down. He now walks great on a leash but rears up and barks like a maniac when he sees someone. That needs a lot of work.

[@rebeccac1913]

I just got to the part where you were doing your Instagram live feed for the Q&A and I heard the question where you talked about how even if they were a high school age student, it would be pretty hard to train your dog. When I was 16 (almost 17), I got my first dog that was solely my responsibility. I went to high school and had a part time job where I worked at least 20 hours a week and my pup is now a fully trained service dog! It only took her 1.5 years to become a fully trained service dog so it 100% is doable with the right motivation and family support.

[@manorton6709]

How to convince your parents you need a puppy? Everything Zak said, then I would add how about offering to raise a puppy for a service dog organization. You might be able to convince your parents, if they know there is a way out (12-14 months), some to all expenses paid by the non-profit, and a support network in place for challenging times. Google puppy raising in your area.

Hello I’m early ! Inertia is doing super well as well thanks to you! And this is also partly helping me to persuade my parents that I cAn train a dog! Ps I LOVE your vids! (And inertia! ;)

[@boglenight1551]

Pugsey Co There’s a big difference between watching videos and training a dog. Training is more than just knowledge, it can be tiring, frustrating, and mental exhausting. That said, if having a dog is very important to you and you have the drive to get through it the best thing for you to do would be to start walking and training friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, that would develop experience and skill as well as show your parents your dedication and responsibility.

[@pugseyco3058]

Oh... Thanks for the tip😉

[@LittleMissDes94]

Hi Zak! My puppy is about the same age as Inertia, so I came across your vids as soon as I got my Aussie puppy. My biggest task lately is getting her not to pull on the leash. Will you be showing videos on pulling? I ordered a front clasp harness as I read those help & it helped my older dog as well.

[@saramations]

how old was your other dog when you used a front clasp harness? how old is your puppy? i never found front claps harnesses to be usefull on puppies. they just never set up a good line of communication between me and the puppy, and i don't like the idea of having that force go across their chests.

[@LittleMissDes94]

My other dog was introduced the front clasp harness at 1 year old. He responded very well to it. We tried the no tug mouth harness but he didn’t like that one at all & it didn’t help & we stuck with it for quite some time to try. The older dog actually sprained my wrist on a regular leash from yanking me forward while walking so we definitely had to get the front clasp harness. My 5 month old puppy has not tried the harness yet as I am still waiting on it to be delivered. Part of the problem is we walk them together most of the time but since that is how we will be doing it because it’s much easier for us we want the puppy to get used to it. I’ve actually read that harnesses that clip on the back like why Zak uses on inertia encourage pulling.

[@katk7505]

@@LittleMissDes94 he has a video on leash training already, but not specifically with inertia or a puppy. My Aussie is the same age as inertia though and that's what we did. We just use a collar though.

But today she rang the bells to go potty and she’s also holding it longer at night!! Your videos help so much. The only thing that I worry about is our 1 year old whippet (35 pounds) has started to get aggressive with her (6 pounds) and I think it’s because she plays rough and keeeeepa playing. And you know whippets have a ton of energy. I want a video on making her better at playing with bigger dogs who can eat her for lunch if she keeps biting their faces.

When you were training with the confetti you used the leave it command. What was the difference when you were practicing with the toy. You used the command wait instead of leave it.

[@eloconnor6841]

SUPERfabulousJess I think it’s because eventually she will be allowed to pick up the toy hence the ‘wait’ however he didn’t want her to get the confetti or accidentally eat it and so she was told to leave it alone completely

As a school-age person that is getting a corgi puppy in two months, I'd like to give some advice on how to convince parents to get you a dog. I have another dog who's a 12-year-old vizsla named Jasper. I've been doing a lot of training with her in order to show my parents that I'm serious about training. I've wanted a corgi for 2 1/2 years now and just last year convinced my parents after visiting corgi puppies. (Sadly they were all taken but it was a great learning experience) I made countless slide shows on why we should get a puppy and stepped up with doing chores. I feel like it's very important to not harass parents to get a dog all the time as it can just get annoying to them. I've done extended research on corgis and raising a puppy so I feel very prepared. I'm also doing school online which helps a lot! As I am writing this, my 12-year-old dog, Jasper is sleeping on my lap. lol.

[@katlyndash1336]

I've watched a lot of your videos in the past, love your training technique and I've done a few of your exercises with my dog. I was wondering if you or anyone has had experience with a dog not motivated by food? I can have the best treats for my dog, but if a person walks by, she won't even remember I exist and it's very difficult to gain her attention without holding her back.

[@lalylaly27]

What he would recommend, as ive seen in his other videos, is for you to become "more exciting" than whatever the distraction is. And he would flail his arms, make noises, use a quick tug of war game. It would work but it is obviously something that can take a lot of practice, i mean, you will be training your dog to listen to you "no matter what" for the rest of their life so the younger/sooner/more often, the better.

[@AP-px3ni]

My puppy is literally obsessed with people so it’s hard to get her socialized.

I haven’t been able to stop her jumping and being crazy around people and she is getting bigger and harder to manage too. I’ve been trying to work on it as much as I can but can’t seem to get her to listen even with rly good treats.

[@ambam64]

I remember when my puppy had a resource guarding issue. It almost destroyed our relationship. There are few things she so craves. I gave her one of those edible Nylabone bones. She craved it so much she didn't want to give it up. That's when I thought it'd be a good time to train her on not resource guarding. Well, it went worse than with Inertia. I had never seen her act so vicious, she's normally a sweet little collie. When I tried to take it away from her, she snapped several times. She really hurt me, and I finally got fed up with her behavior and put her in her crate, in which I got hurt even more, and put the rest of the bone away. I was so scarred (in more ways than one) by that whole event and about how I treated her, that's when I considered giving her up. I thought I had messed up by punishing her (plus I didn't even look at her for the rest of the night), but my sister said I did exactly what she would have done. So she started her own resource guarding training with her and right away had better results. She now lives with my sister, who proved to be much better with dogs than I could ever be.

[@ambam64]

I'm not exactly sure how she trained her, but I think it was by touching her while she was eating and getting her used to having her food touched and taken away.
