These videos just demonstrates the realities of having a very young dog that isnt always accurately portrayed online, it's not all cute puppy snuggles at times it's damn hard work! So thankful we have these videos though because it gives support and reassurance to those in the same situation! Well done Zak! #puppyreality

[@YetisPlace]

It’s nice to see even professional dog trainers, sometimes experience having a tricky time with training. Thanks for this video, Zak!

[@tombain6900]

Why?

[@charli3523]

Tom Bain because not all trainers can properly train them just because he’s a dog trainer doesn’t mean his dog is perfect. It’s very interesting to see what they do as-well even though he’s a trainer doesnt mean his dog will be perfectly trained and super obedient it just takes time xo

[@PetMama1313]

@@charli3523 It's not so much that they can't properly train them, it's more that training takes time, and varies with the age of the dog and breed. Some breeds/mixes are easier, others are harder... also the younger the dog, the more easily distracted they are. As the guardian/trainer, you've got to learn when to focus on what aspect of training, and when to let it go on a positive note with the intent to pick it up again later. Later that day, the next day, at a moment when your dog is more able to focus. Every dog is unique, every dog has a different rate of distractability, and everyone has good days and bad days. Some days you have more energy and focus for things, others your more distracted. Likewise, within a single day there will be times you're focused on one thing OR maybe you're more relaxed one moment and stressed the next.

[@InsideTheDogWorld]

The most important thing I think people should take from your training. Is your positive energy. Can't stretch it enough how important that positive energy is. Both for you and for your dog. You won't be frustrated as easy, and you will also make it more fun for your dog, meaning your dog will WANT to listen to you. Your relationship will also be so much stronger and you'll build a bond while actually training.. To make it short, it's so important and that's what I try to preach in every single one of my video.

Really helps seeing these - especially when things don’t work exactly the way you want! Our rough collie is just a month or so older and his behavior in class has been challenging (on our patience). I’m amazed how well they do certain tasks while others just don’t (yet) sink in. Since this is our 5th rough collie we know that - but still can challenging. Thanks for showing us that even experts who probably spend more time with their pets than we can do not have a free ride.

[@BrookeBeverlyMUA]

I haven't watched the video just yet, but by the title I want to extent my thanks because this couldn't have come at a better time. I'm feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated that I've hit a plateau with training my dog. I'm a first time bull terrier owner and I believe I'm going through the stages where he's "testing" to see how far he can push his luck and if the rules and boundaries we've set in place really apply. It's gotten to the point where he's jumping excessively on people and the furniture/counters. I feel I'm repeating days at this point and know when I wake up the next morning I'm gonna be chasing him off of places he's not suppose to be. It's a bit discouraging to be honest. But I'm enjoying the series nonetheless, and have used your older videos for the past year in helping me teach my big luggy all his basic commands he knows now!

[@9DRK]

Hey when ever they jump on people or funiture why don't you try putting them in a room for somewhere around a minute and if they do it again put them back in a room, repeat for a little bit each day hopefully it helps

[@ruthpine-apple9860]

How is your bull terrier now? Has the training got less frustrating?

[@BrookeBeverlyMUA]

@@ruthpine-apple9860 It has! I think we’ve overcome a hurtle most dog owners face. He was still figuring out where he belonged in the pack and how much control he had in the house. I have a better understanding and have a new outlook on focusing on setting myself up for success instead of just going through the motions and getting through the day. He will be 2 years old just after Christmas and I know I still have a long way to go. I’ve discovered a whole community of bullterrier owners through forums and Instagram and I realize that they definitely live up to their reputation of being a child in a dog suit. Most say they don’t “settle down” until about 3-4 years. I’m not as easily frustrated anymore like when I wrote this post. I read from someone online something that I take to heart when dealing with my dog, because if I’m honest, I was seriously questioning if he was the right decision for me after all. I wanted to do what was right by him and if I wasn’t a strong enough owner then it wouldn’t do him any good in the long run. But someone posted and said if you’re looking for a perfect dog, get yourself a boarder collie but if you go into this understanding that not everyday will be perfect you’ll have a lot of laughs in the end thanks to your bullterrier. His jumping on people is still a problem. I think every dog owner would prefer if their dog didn’t do that. He’s a very friendly dog overall but some people see his size, and breed and don’t want to associate with him, and I respect that. So it’s my job to keep him in control. I know this comes from him living his life on a farm surrounded by the same people everyday so when a new person enters his world it’s hard to gain his attention due to his over excitement. I’ve invested in a good harness and a short leash for walks and even bought a harness with a pull back handle he can wear around the house if I know company is coming. Like I said, it’s still a long road ahead but these steps will slow him that jumping won’t give him the attention he seeks and sitting and being calm brings people to him.

[@lexijolley6348]

Thank you for showing how realistic expectations need to be! We brought home our 14 week old puppy and we thought we were doing something wrong with training, but with time we have seen such improvement. She is about 5.5 months and it’s nice seeing a puppy around her age for reference. 😊

Actually harnesses make dogs pull more so I suggest you try a slip lead. That made my 13 week old puppy not pull in just one week so I suggest trying it. At first I thought it was cruel as she sometimes choked on it but in about 10 minutes she was fine and now I use it every day.

[@blueavian5379]

Been trying a lot of your techniques with my own dog, and I'm sure he'll make good progress in the future! However, my family has had this problem where we have a big difficulty getting his harness on him. He gets super excited whenever we get out the harness and leash and he'll sit. but as soon as we go to put it on, he'll jump back and start barking excitedly. Is it possible to get some tips for such behavior? If you already have a video similar to this situation, can i get a link to it real quick?

[@kazzoey9164]

What the person above said ^ Just make it to where the harness is no big deal. Put it on him regularly when you’re not going anywhere, so it becomes less of an exciting thing and more of just a thing that happens sometimes. Stay calm while you’re doing it, and reward him for calm behavior as well. Hope that helps :)

[@blueavian5379]

@@cearaoconnor9251 I have tried teaching him to just sit and stay calm by just putting the harness closer to him after he sits and rewarding him with treats, but he just gets too excited. Will continue to try this technique but I just wanted to see if Zak had any other tips or tricks to see if it would work better.

[@ahhhhhh8493]

@@blueavian5379 one thing you could try is because the harness is incredibly exciting give him an hour or 2 of fetch and then go inside. When you see him settle down put his harness on him and barley aknolge him. Depending on how old your dog is you could put him in his crate with a blanket over the crate to cut off visual stimulation. However sometimes that can freak a dog out so be careful and make sure you know the kind of dog your dog is. Also the crate technique is only if your dog will absolutely not calm down. Eventually you can give him less and less exercise before putting it on. Anouther thing you can do is after putting the harness on, have your dogs absolute favorite currency. (Whether it be warmed up chicken or a tug toy) and wait for 3 seconds of silence and then click your clicker or say yes and give your currency to them. And then repeat over and over again. Your dog isn't gonna get it immediately, in a few days, or even weeks considering how solidified the habit is for your dog but you just have to keep trying and have patience.

[@tobyhavaneese1557]

I learn so much from your videos. When you walked into puppy training why did you carry her when she was pulling on the leash?

[@9DRK]

Zak the way you can help control your dog is by thinking of how she she's the world. Instead of stopping when she pulls ( As they pull they are getting and going where they wanted to ) turn around and go the way you just came, after a few seconds turn around again. When you stop she can still see whats ahead of her so it's still rewarding, new scents are blowing to her that is also rewarding. Anytime she barks try putting her in another room and the exact momment she is quiet reward her and take her out again. Sometimes repeating a command isnt always good you should try saying it maybe twice and work it down to 1. I know they aren't very rewarding things but you arent always going to have treats or toys on you

John Doe Inertia is still really young and many puppy’s her age still don’t pay much attention as they want to explore, as you see in the video. Zak wants to get her attention to work on it. The easiest way is to use a reward such as treats

[@Ethan-um7cp]

He is eroding his engagement piece by piece in every episode. If these are the highlights he edits to share, I shudder to imagine this dog's life. No amount of food corrects a lack of trust, lack of bond, lack of engagement. This is just phase 1, and already failed. Phase 2, will create disinterest, phase 3 distrust, and down and down he will go. He has no concept of how to apply his own underlying principles.

I give advice over certain things to service dog owners that are having some trouble with nailing down certain things.... Love finding your videos to send them for some ideas on what to do. Heck even just training a young dog to be a pet can drive you crazy hahaha I have an entire playlist on here of different training approachs that I can see could work if how I trained my dogs doesn't work.. (To be fair both my current retiring SD and SDiT had a dog to copy for their training... My first SD taught the 2nd, and the 2nd taught the 3rd XD) But thank you so much for these in depth videos. It's so easy to raise a pup to a year or so and get upset and wash them from becoming an SD... We always worry so much about spending the time on a new dog, we need help remembering not to panic. (That's alot of what I do, keep newer teams from panicking and support them, even if we live far away) But I'm only able to help because you and a few other trainers I trust post these videos! My worst problem is when someone is in an area that doesn't have decent trainers to help and support them IRL. Even my area has very few decent pet trainers, so many come to me for advice. (I swear clicker training is my best friend at this point. And it's so simple to explain and it WORKS! It's alot of why I'm able to train my own dogs so well, so if you make any clicker related videos, know they will be shared far and wide...) Again ty and have a great day!!!

[@wildlifesymphony]

My first SD was a German Spitz, was just an ESA I adopted after my wreck... But he began helping with my PTSD. We didn't even know about SD before my mother stumbled across it seeing what we would have to do for me to take him to college with me... But I reinforced what he was doing because we saw that it DID help.. He was with me always(as long as it was pet friendly) Even when I was helping plan a wedding, he came with me. After we met with a local SD trainer, I was allowed to bring him to more then just pet friendly places because it was determined that what he did was the same tasks the trainer helped ppl train. Turns out he also figured out my asthma, as he'd alert when he could smell a trigger(perfume or rough cleaning chems) and I'd hold my breath and scurry till he stopped alerting(he'd almost cough, was the strangest alert ever- but we tested it and its the only time he made that noise) He got carried in a hiking backpack with a hole for ur pets head, his paws would be on my shoulders and his head peeking over my shoulder. Cutest thing ever since he wore sweaters since I kept his hair trimmed decently to keep him clean. He helped train my border collie/lab mix that I was paired with by my mentor as well. I needed a dog to walk on its own and was afraid of being attacked (again) and the dog not being tough enough to handle the initial kick before I could react and taze the person. Ford did great, caught on fast and we added more tasks to the list than what my first SD did. He's mobility, medical alert and response- specifically for asthma, crazy migraines, random blood sugar drops(warns me it dropping and even wakes me if needed), wakes me from night terrors or holds me down during seizures, and does the normal reminders for meds, to eat, and if someone is doing something they shouldn't. (Bonus task we did for fun was pushing elevator buttons, before they added that panic button right below them anyway) My first SD taught him how to wake me from my night terrors without hurting me.... When my seizures started he tried waking me.... But after I had a long scratch he stopped trying, and just laid atop me to hold me down. We didn't prompt him to do that. He also has taught any dog that I let sleep in my room to help him. Every foster dog I've had would lay across my feet and legs so Ford could deal with the rest.... (Had a basset mix that was so lazy- he went to sleep on my legs so he wouldn't have to move if I had a seizure) He's amazing. As my health went down he figured out how to help me. Even as far as migraine alerts, since mine are occular and when a bad one hits it's like my senses go haywire and my soul disconnects from my body long enough for me to fall.(and my 20/20 vision gets worse than my grandmother's) He caught me the first 3 and after that began alerting before them and herding me to sit and take meds. He taught my puppy what he could when she was little, mainly to stay out of the way when I'm training other dogs... But when she got big enough she started helping him hold me down during seizures. We thought nothing of it, as we didn't get her to be my next SD. (Property/family dog since ours was nearly 14 at the time and had trouble remembering who was family... I had to watch for her to come at me some days due to this.) But she kept helping Ford, and Ford decided he was willing to let her care for me. So we decided an early retirement, since I won't work a dog that doesn't love it. He's done so much, it's understandable he's a bit tired and wants to stay home. (He has sibling dogs and cats to keep busy and a few kids if he wants to play, other than that he has his fav spot on my bed and the other animals defer to him/give him the best spots if he wants them... He's not a bully, they just all bond with him as the big brother- they want to give him things. If HE doesn't want it, they argue amongst themselves for who gets it ROFL.) So I have a European German Shepherd that'll take over soon... Her sense of smell is amazing. She can alert further out than Ford even. Not to mention all the fosters I work with. Hoping to get healthy enough to manage getting papered for what all I can train. Proof on paper I can do it. RN it's all done at home on my injuries time schedule, works well for training dogs lol. Every dog deserves a chance, they want to help and will given the chance if they know what you want. That communication is key though, and I'm pretty good at getting it started. Have a dozen troubled dogs rehabbed and rehomed. One even became an SD for someone else! Another would have been put down without my help, now she has a young man that is her best friend. I train them, and even send a clicker with them and show them how to work it.... And even provide a training program I write up for their dog to work with. And my number if anything happens. I just hope my health improves. I want to give back. I wouldn't be here without an old dog everyone had passed up, or my younger lab/collie mix. I just wouldn't. Sorry long, need to quit doing comments when falling asleep lol

Ask him to do something with the toy in your hand and if he does it put the toy away (so don't give it to him). Do it again and this time give him the toy. Keep doing this and after a week or so take a toy in your hand, get him excited, then put the toy away (in your pocket or whatever) and ask him a command. If he does it praise him, take the toy out and give it to him in the most exciting way possible

There’s zero engagement with the handler. It’s unfortunate that this dog ended up with someone with such a limited skillset.

Yes! videos with dogs that don't wanna listen... that's what i need with my husky -_-

[@flaviomiguel4360]

Hey Zak first I would like to express how much I appreciate your channel and all your great training dog tips. I do find somethings that the head lines of your video's a bit vague. Like on this one for example. Inertia seems to be following all your commends really well. I wonder what part of this video do you consider a more challenging moment with her? I'm asking you this only so that I can recognise your point and eventually apply this technic on my own puppy. Thank you so much for all your work. cheers Flavio

What do you do when your dog is too big to pick up?

[@damiresq]

Please sir go check your thyroid gland ! Graves maybe, hyper thyroidism

[@jamesr9227]

Zak bringing the excellent tips on training and also an impressive shoe collection

[@Belowtheradars]

This guy is making so much money from sponsoring, adds and referrals, it's insane. Wish I could do that too.

[@ianglenn5905]

What are you trying to teach Inertia to do? She appears to be doing whatever she wants to. That’s not training in my book, not by any stretch of the imagination.

[@christopherreynolds1564]

You should not be recommending pupbox. They are an untrustworthy and unethical organization. I got ripped off by them and they won’t refund me. I trusted them because of Zak. I am disappointed.

[@shereewordell2433]

Wow, she is so big now, she's so cute!

[@Jackysutarrodetierra]

I wish I had the opportunity to socialise my current rescue dog at that age, I adopted her when she already was 1 year old and she had never lived (or entered ) a house before! You can imagine: fear of stairs, doors, and pretty much everything indoors, destructiveness, complete lack of socialisation with children (luckily she had had some exposure to adults, at least), complete lack of responsiveness to recall and zero checkins on walks, even when prompted to with high pitched sounds, due to all the time she spent on her own (she was found many kms away from the nearest village), and also a tendency towards chasing any small animal. But not that I regret anything, after some time of positive training she's over most of her issues, with only minor things left. Rescue dogs can be hard sometimes, but not like puppies are a piece of cake honestly.

[@Kate-st4hx]

🙏 thank you 🙏

[@Jackysutarrodetierra]

Is weird how small she is on the videos (just 5 months) and how big she is now at 7.5 months, it's almost like two different dogs

[@bawagnerr]

I'm surprised you use a harness for training.

[@fwqzn]

Zak when you train other people's dogs where do you find them

[@mandynuttall6627]

Hi Zak, thank you so much for showing us realistic expectations with our pups! I'm so much happier taking Belle out than I was before

[@hatedsha]

First

[@amandadoor8700]

Watching your Instagram stories are like sneak peaks! Now I just want to see the process. We already know she catches the frisby, now I'm just dying to see the first catch!!

How to learn "Dig" in 10 seconds - Tutorial by Zak George

[@simonangelus1692]

Hi Mr George huge fan love all your videos and your approach on training, I just got a 5month puppy yesterday cant wait to start training ,tomorrow is the day lol, thank you for all your amazing help

[@ThanatosWings]

I can't pick up my dog, what should I do? (he's 68Lb at 1 year and my back is broken in 4 places. I can lift him for a few seconds then need to out him down.)

[@magicjade5348]

Um that's difficult but if you need them to be like by your side or guide them somewhere try getting those vests with like a handle you can grab on to guide the dog around. Hopefully that would help :)

[@manamagician]

We're finally bringing home our puppy (a Great Swiss Mountain Dog) on the 26th Jan and these videos have been a God send; I believe our breed is classed as High Energy(?) so seeing these is giving me more confidence in how to keep her entertained and how to properly wear her out :'D

[@Rotty801]

I thought this was some + R only bs, but it seems at 17:20 he gives her a verbal correction to get back into position and look how good she does and looks! Why can’t you just do that with the rest oh her training haha

[@bigjohn8549]

Hello zack gorge im am cerouis to how i would go about geting my a.c.d to behave his main problem is agreson when i try to correct or take something from him he is not spost to have he is 4.5 mothers old

[@LittlePawsTraining]

big john which breed he is?

[@bigjohn8549]

He is a texs heeler 5.5 months old

[@BantiarnaMacRaghnaill]

I think we have the same dog. Nothing I do is working for my Aussie, either. Lol

[@lindahopkinson17]

I get such a lot of value out of watching you train Inertia as you show it as it is, which makes me more understanding with my German Shepherd pup. Most online trainers give perfect demonstrations, with the dog never faulting and if I wasn't watching your videos I would feel very discouraged. Thanks so much Zac!

[@peach_mango_pie]

I wish Zak would train my pup lol its not easy having a high energy dog

[@jayce8001]

I love it when dogs live up to their names. I mean, perfect name for this cutie. She does seem to be doing better though.

[@nicoleglenn2872]

I feel like I am getting to relive my border collie’s puppyhood

[@lizd.2343]

In the process of looking for a dog to adopt, and I can’t wait to be able to use some of your techniques on my own dog soon!

[@ItsViolaRose]

Thank you for telling us about pupbox!!! It’s available in Canada too. Ellas going to love it 💕💕💕

[@LittlePawsTraining]

It’s Viola Rose yes its great. What do you think? Barkbox is better or pupbox?

[@ItsViolaRose]

Little Paws Training I think pupbox only because it is available in Canada bark box isn’t

[@smashtthesnobsfun]

This guy is so kind and accommodating. He will end up with the most beautifully balanced and confident dog which is what we all want for our dogs. He's patient and forbearing. She's a lovely, bright pup and will have a wonderful and fulfilled life, I'm sure.I enjoy these videos. We have a rescue lurcher. He's beautiful, kind and gentle. He is a mix of greyhound, saluki and collie. Not going to bore you with the percentages, suffice to say he's gentle and energetic and with little to no recall! We'll do our best. Meanwhile, Ronan spends his free time in an enclosed park where he can be free of me and run to his heart's content: " herding the squirrels" ... I love all dogs, but chose a rescue because they are in immediate need.

The lacking squash consequentially film because detail provisionally shock via a abaft bongo. late, absorbed bankbook

[@auricgoldfinger8478]

I have had a bevy of puppies over the years attend puppy socialization. It amazes me how different they all are. All born with a unique genetic imprint, or the Buddhists would say a reborn soul, wherever the source

[@GhostyCanine]

Ah I love your videos!! They help so much with my dog!! :)

[@Ms777Lena]

An important question! My, otherwise perfect 4 months old puppy won't take treats out of hand regardless of what is offered. How to train her to do tricks? She does take them for a minute now and then but she stops quickly.

[@maplebriar3561]

Should I put a bed in the crate for my puppy or just put a blanket with toys and a pee pad?

[@ewitty776]

Not an expert. But in my crate I have a few blankets to make it super cushy, a soft toy that also doubles as a pillow, a bully stick and an ultra soft nylabone chew toy. I don't use any pee pads because I don't want my dog to ever think that going potty inside is ok. I'd rather clean up a mess after an accident. I've had him 3 weeks now and it's been a full week without an accident (fingers crossed). I believe Zak George said in a previous video he is against using pee pads unless there's a special situation too, but I don't want to speak for him obviously. In my dog's playpen I have a cushy memory foam bed that he really loves. But it won't fit in the crate right now because the divider makes it too small. Hopefully soon!

[@garnachas108]

HA! I have now reached the point where I recognize the instagram posts!

[@lorine_achieng]

My dog is exactly like inertia. It's really frustrating sometimes, but I can't give up

[@mackenzieyeatts6765]

Did anyone else see the dog outside the window just thought I would point it out lol

[@INSEIKYU01]

Thank you for these they are helping our family immensely

[@petekitay]

i just got a new puppy and Enertia is a god exemple

[@stannicholson9622]

Just talk about the dog training not the product we should buy your getTing to commercial.
