[@natalielambert3403]

The hardest part of training a dog isn't learning the concepts, it's knowing how to adapt and improvise when things don't go as expected - which happens all the time! I think this is why many people get discouraged when training their dog. Also when you're a beginner, it's really hard to know when you're on the right track and just need to be patient, or when you're doing something wrong. Watching experienced trainers roll with the punches is so incredibly helpful and useful! Thank you Zak for making this series!

[@PoloWolf47]

I agree

[@ajlahalilovic600]

Lovee how "raw " and real this is because this is the situation for most people 😍😍😍

[@navebushes5717]

Why did you type like that lol

[@kawchman]

This is such a valuable video to watch as a puppy owner. It's so common to see "training" videos where the dog just does everything right the first time. It's nice to see a professional trainer deal with the same issues that everyone does. It really helps put stuff in perspective! Thanks for the videos!

[@btyeeee]

Thank you so much for showing real life experiences and situations with Inertia! Your series with her is helping me tremendously and I'm so thankful to have stumbled upon your videos! Now I can properly prepare myself for my upcoming puppy next year! 💖

[@darnellcaballes]

outstanding! finally a video with an untrained dog. love the analysis and self corrections you share as inertia behaves like a typical dogs. it’s given me solid ideas on how to proceed with my dog. the main one being that I need to be consistent and patient with training, and it’s gonna take a while despite using the right tactics and strategies.

[@christinaa5707]

This is so real. You dont show how to train dogs with a trained dog. This is how we can trust a trainer by watching him work with an untrained dog! (Not that Inertia is untrained...)

[@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER]

Christina Yun there’s no results at all this guy has had the dog 4 months

[@MrsBurningRum]

@@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER So, Inertia being able to sit, down, stay, wait, play fetch, hug , stall and be calm when gates open is no result to you? You've clearly haven't learnt anything yourself from this series. Do you think puppies do this stuff naturally? She even got better with puppy biting and leash biting. So yeah, no idea what series you've been watching.

[@katiexxpaige]

I almost never let my dog greet random dogs when on walks. I don't know the other dog and their reactivity. And my dog is also selective and sometimes doesn't have the best response to other dogs so it's rarely worth the risk.

[@millajokinen1658]

I really appreciate that you keep this real and include the ”fails” because that is reality. I feel like it gives people the real side of training, if you would only show the successful moments people might think that there is something wrong with their dogs, or they are bad at training because they cant get something right at the first few tries. It really gives that ” This happens, training takes fails to succeed” idea.

[@ShelbyLynnPhelps]

I just wanted to say OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking the time to create this amazing channel! My hubby and i have 2 pups under 2 years old and I have been using your methods and teaching practices lately and love them! Not to mention I really value the WAY you train, humanely and with regard to the dogs actual intelligence rather than fear training. I am so grateful to have found your channel! And our pups thank you too!

[@liv160]

Zak I can’t thank you enough!! You show the fails and all the success. Every dog is different and I love that you show that!!

Koko loves the stones at the beach. "Leave it" training had worked really well. .... If only he realises he should leave the cat!

[@Cromerty]

Thank you so much for your training. It's made such a difference (Whitby in UK). He can leave (mostly), come (for a quite a long distance...and with distractions), weave, go to bed, dig (on the beach), and loads more. All with your help xxx (absolutely rubbish on the hug tho, he keeps wanting to be in front and kiss me).

[@atipsygypsylife]

I can't thank you enough for your training videos. I have a 4 month old Australian Cattle Dog. Because of your videos he can sit, stay, lay down, and his recall is very good for his age. I can get him to a walk with me pretty good, he pulls on his leash when distracted, but we've only worked on leash pulling for 1 week so far. He also is mat training right now and is working on "leave it". I'm super impressed with his brains!!! THANK YOU! What is the best way to support YOU with a thanks? You're the best! (You are too Inertia!) Thank you also for the style of training you use. Our local trainer here at home uses the same methods as you. Jasper (my puppy) is benefitting (as so am I) from both of you. Our trainer here at home also trains agility...I'm hoping that is Jasper's "job" in the future (that's the plan) since we don't have cows to herd LOL.

So incredibly thankful for this video!! and this series. I adopted a puppy when he was 6 months and he'd been a stray before so it was definitely new to him to learn and understand. leash pulling is the biggest issue so i really am thankful that you're doing this with Inertia who is also still on her learning journey.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR FRISBEE!!!!! I love watching Inertia grow!

I love that even when you are close to getting frustrated, you completely turn it over and take a step back and don't let Inertia feel any frustration from you. Staying calm when you want to just act out a frustration is really a challenge. Especially if people are looking and your dog is behaving like a crazy tornado. My dog can walk very nice in a certain place and every day we just walk a few feet longer, so it's going really slow, but forward and that's all that matters.

[@annettekelleher8407]

[@thomasathey5265]

Corrections you mean? Yeah he’s getting the most basic of response from the puppy lmao

[@connormoran990]

Veran Edits yep exactly. That puppy could not give a shit less about what kinds of treats he has or what he’s saying while he’s outside or there’s a remotely interesting stimuli present 😆 I’m honestly excited to see what he does when people start to realize his dog is making no progress. This whole series was a bad idea for his channel.

[@connormoran990]

Wolf Revenant I totally agree with you. However, I do believe there are some dogs that simply cannot be trained using pp and I have a feeling inertia is one of them. But you are right we will see soon enough it’s definitely too early to tell. I think the facade here is that he is probably putting hours a day into training this puppy which 95% of dog owners don’t have the time to do.

[@cristinebright2173]

Thank you for this! This is my dog. It has gotten better over time, but it's very helpful to see you working with her in this way.

[@angelsare44]

Awesome video! So glad I found this channel, I only wish I found it before I got my puppy! I have a 4 month old lab mix who’s coming along really nicely when walking on the road. As soon as she gets in the long driveway she instantly pulls and loses all her good manners. She sometimes growls and runs around fighting the leash when she doesn’t get to go where she wants. I’m quite sure she just wants so play and is throwing a temper tantrum but I don’t want to reward her by letting her play and I don’t know how to redirect her! She won’t watch me or sit when she gets like that either. I did just order a long leash to help with training, so grateful for such informative videos!

[@ColdhandsFIN]

I love these videos! Been preparing for our new puppy in April 2020 with your videos since September!

[@MelleNoobette]

It's so refreshing to see that even a veteran dog trainer still has a hard time with those things. It's good to remind ourselves that no matter how perfect things appear in some tutorials, the training is never smooth right from the start. Consistency and positive reinforcement are key. Thank you so much for not shying away from showing us that!

[@sparkledog2455]

A veteran dog trainer should not be struggling as much as he is for a dog that lives with him

[@MelleNoobette]

@@sparkledog2455 That's a 16 weeks old puppy discovering a whole new place. Everyone would struggle in that situation. It is very refreshing to see him actually show us that instead of cutting and editing to the good bits and having other people feel desperate when they can't even come close to that with their dogs.

[@sparkledog2455]

@@MelleNoobette that's the thing the dog is 16 weeks old and as a trainer is dog should already mastered this. I understand showing real footage but this would have been great if the dog was younger but he has been training his dog from day 1 and dogs I have trained from puppies are way more advanced than his dog. That's what I meant by the comments

[@irisv3703]

I'm so surprised it took so long before she got her first neighbourhood walk. Our border collie pup (almost 6 months old) , had to do neighbourhood walks from day 1, because we didn't have other options. And she already walked off leash after a week, because pups want to stay close to you. And she usually comes back very easy when we call her back (especially when we have extra delicious treats). But it is still "nice" to see that we're not the only ones struggling sometimes. Even though she usually walks perfect on the leash. We only got a problem with greeting people in a proper way, she wants to cuddle everyone we see.

[@nancypina341]

My kids were so exited to see the BarkBox as our puppy got almost the same stuff except for the beef treats and we got a remote control

[@marieilene5082]

[@annakcupidustalebordercoll3503]

[@FoxyFoxlyn]

Oh good suggestion! Aloy just digs, tries to jump on my shoulders, whilst I am driving... Even with her seat harness on, she can still reach me. She tries to chew everything. At the moment my bf sits in the back with her, so she chews him instead. Just putting us off visiting family, as they live 2-3hrs drive away. 😩

[@s_rofbear]

Elle O - approach it the same as any other thing your puppy is afraid of. Start small and build up slow, giving your puppy lots of positive associations with being in the car. Start by just getting in the car (while the car is off) and treating. When puppy is comfortable with that, move on to getting in the car and being secured (whatever that looks like for you guys - dog seatbelt, crate, etc) and treating. Then move up to doing that, but with the car on. Not going anywhere - just on. Then move up to a SHORT drive. Even just to the end of the driveway and back. Then gradually build up to longer drives. Make each step a positive experience, with lots of praise, fun and treats. It might take weeks or even months to progress through all the steps. Just be patient and keep at it. Only move forward when your puppy is comfortable with the step you’re at. Good luck! ❤️

[@chloepattie8409]

@@s_rofbear also helps when you start doing small car rides with them to make sure the majority of them end up at an exciting place, like a walk. My dog was terrible in the car and we did exactly the same things as you said as well as this.

[@annakcupidustalebordercoll3503]

@@FoxyFoxlyn maybe try the travelling crate? The crate training is very useful, taking one with you to your family will allow the pup to have his own secure place whilst in their new environment as well. Having the pup in the crate inside the car increases its and your safety. You can give him blankets, toys, safe chew or Kong full of peanut butter for the journey

No way am I leaving a Springer Spaniel to destroy my house. 😂 I thought about the crate for the car, but she likes to look out the window and all our dogs before were great in the car. Our dog trainer said to practise sitting in the car with her when not going anywhere. Suggested I read, let it become a calming environment. She is fine on short trips as bf sits with her in the back. On the way back, she will fall asleep as she is tired from her walk.

[@kaykaykailah2404]

I love how you train. I started my dog training career ever since I found you years ago. But I use a slip lead when teaching heel only because I feel like it gives them a sense of direction. No harm or anything. I’m all about positivity. I will never use assertive methods. I just use that type of leash to redirect positions. I also use free shaping too so the dog can choose to heel.

[@Sunshineflowers618]

Me and my pitbull mix Bella are similar to you and Enertia. I had to re-set and go back and review earlier training to remind myself not to demand too much. Bella had acted aggressive to my other dog while my other dog was crated, so now to discourage that behavior. I am now keeping Bella in a more structured environment and keeping her close to me and not roaming the house. Today she is tired out, docile, and being so much better with the day of training we did yesterday outdoors, and in the park. I hope to get Bella in a good training class in January with a professional dog training family who trains dogs for the police and pet dogs. I made mistakes and my 2 dogs started fighting each other, so we had to have a re-do and I am making sure to do things right so this doesn't happen again. I have to keep them separated right now for the time being.

In many cases I agree they are quite helpful but with this breed I think that should be last resort. Borders can be quite sensitive and you'd risk hurting your bond and losing some trust.

What are you planning to do with Inertia? Thanks a lot again for the dedication and for the experience! Best wishes from Dakar Senegal!

[@00gabbs00]

Curious because I and my partner had our black lab pup from 9 weeks, and she has been incredibly obedient while walking on our side farthest from a high traffic street from the early training in our neighbourhood (she's 10 weeks now), just seeing your inertia having such a difficult time makes me relieved we did this training early on. Of course, we stick to a short reflective leash, have an eye on her the entire time, when dogs cross our paths we immediately ask about whether they've completed their shots, and if their dog is fine with puppies in which case owners always are willing to respond (we've seen countless muzzled dogs but all of them naturally understand what a pup is, never noticed aggression). ALSO If Canadians are watching this don't order the BarkBox because the Canadian customs are halting all dog treats at the border..since this has been recently published you shouldn't be advertising this also to Canada...

[@azuriangelz2725]

Hahaha welcome to the world Inertia. It was great seeing you go through what I did. It will be interesting to watch the progression on walking. Great video thanks

[@kawaipumpkin9765]

Hi Zak I love your videos they've helped me a lot with my own puppy and I've been following the series ever since. I do have an issue and it's that my puppy simply refuses to move at all whenever I put a leash on him. He's from a rescue shelter and he was abused when he was little so maybe that's why ? I need a little help and guidance if anyone can I want to introduce him to the outside world a little and help him be happy in a way. Kind of breaks my heart to have him home all day. Thanks again for the great advice you bring to the series and God bless your soul

[@annakcupidustalebordercoll3503]

If your dog is a rescue and you know it had been abused perhaps you should ask a local behaviourist to walk you through slow socialisation plan. With regards to the leash, try a different type, maybe it's too heavy for the dog? Make it a fun thing, use it indoors a lot, just like Zak does, when playing and feeding. You can even use just a small light cat least to start with. Good luck :)

[@gglydie4242]

Thank you for rescuing! I'm sure your puppy will learn that he has a good life with you now, bit by bit. I think Zac has videos on introducing dogs to new things, so you could try those techniques with the leash. Just have it sitting nearby while you play with your dog, and give treats. Then pick it up, and keep it happy and playful. Then let the dog sniff it and give treats. Etc. Baby steps, all happy and positive. Anytime your dog starts showing the fear, go back a step and apply lots of patience. You will get there, and you will have a nice life together.

[@jeneuweenlaf948]

I had the same problem. I had made some mistakes as a first time dog owner and had created some bad experiences associated with his body harness (his first 'leash'). And whenever he had that leash on, he refused to move. I later changed to a collar leash, and now he happily accepts the collar leash and walks with no problem. It's so important to always attach good memories or experiences with what u want your dog to learn or accept. Try changing the leash or create a new ritual (before walking), so that he makes the association that walking on a leash means something good is going to happen.

[@jaykkyawal2215]

1. Leave alone training outdoor. 2. Heel training outdoor. 3. Pracitse surprise come, sit and other commands. 4. One step a time heel training. 5. Frisbee training 2nd video. First catch. 6. Get her attention before she about to do you dont want her to. 6. Second heel training video. 7. Do not miss out on training on realistic distraction and places. 8. Keeping her attention on you by going forth and back so she knows you are and you hve to listen to me. 9. Stay till you call. 10. If she is pulling or distracted go opposite direction to get her attention back and get her to take treat. 11. If she is barking, or jumping on people, give her treat and calm her down and encourage right behaviour.

[@HYdangerzone]

Hi Zak! Great video. Do you have a video that shows when or how to switch from giving treats to using the walk as reinforcement? Or should I prepare for a lifetime of bringing treats wherever the dog goes? Cheers!

[@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER]

The dog is not trained in drive hence has no engagement , handler apathy is the number one issue and this is a classic case

Training on drive means you only train when the dog is motivated basicly there’s a good book called training in drive dogs trained in drive are engaged and animated

"There's some goo on the ground over here. I have no idea what it is. It looks gross and she's trying to get over to it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh so hard, just how he said it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it better to ignore a dog when jumping and reward when sitting or to remove the dog and try again in a few seconds

Hey Zak! We get our little Chow puppy on Friday and man, your videos have been amazing. We are feeling so confident to take on this next adventure in our life! But I wanted to check, with the constant positive reinforcement and treat giving, how many treats is too many treats? I don't want a fat little pup 😂 Again, thanks so much for all your content, it's given us so much confidence!

[@Otsana25]

My puppy was not that bad on the sidewalk the first time, he stayed right beside me. Probably cause I didn't give him a "freedom" walk like Zak did with his puppy.

Headstrong dog, I love these videos.

I have a year old catahoula named Edna I got from my brother

[@PoloWolf47]

I just took my dog for a walk outside of the property for the first time, considering everything, he was extremely well behaved, he did get really excited when cars went past, but we're working on that

[@eemmzzz]

Looks like my life with my GSD puppy lol. Even at 16 months old and despite doing the same methods you show here since he was 12 weeks old some days walks are still a failure. Some days they ARE good walks though. Here's hoping we eventually get there. I know large breeds take a while to mentally mature.

I needed this. My great Pyrennees mix ( 9 months) is a big puller.

i dont have the energy to write my thoughts on every comment here so quick thing check out Robert cabral for your case

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Dude,its okay to tell your dog "no", or to use a sound to indicate that a behavior is unacceptable.Just like a click means YES, another sound tells themwhat is not wanted. How else will she know??? Its called COMMUNICATION!

[@cake1159]

Completely agree and the shortcomings of failing to properly communicate are really evident in the slooooow and inconsistent progress

[@wordswritteninred7171]

@@cake1159 yep. Poor pup is having to figure out on her own what is a mistake. How many times does she have to do a behavior before she realizes, "oh! He doesnt want me to do that!" There is a sound I make when training my pups/dogs, when a behavior is unacceptable. The sound even works for stray dogs. I agree with the positive reinforcement. But a simple communication of "not that plz", is just as important! Imagine if humans never told their children No! Lol peace

[@alexaranda8152]

That may be your training technique, but it isn't his. And that's okay

[@Salieri21]

It's quite clear that Zak is not the boss in that relationship. He's a soft dad.
