How to Train your Puppy to Love the Vet!

[@sarp3554]

The first time I stepped foot in a vet my puppy had already jumped up on the scale and weighed himself before I knew what was happening. Then the second time he had and allergic reaction to his vaccinations and his face swelled up double its size, he then realized it's a place of feeling better. And I give him lots of treats there. Then he woke us up screaming and having a seizure (still an allergic reaction) and didn't move for two hours while we waited for the vet to open. When it opened, he limped over to it and ran in the doors with his tail wagging. Somehow he managed to teach himself to love the vet, and anytime we walk past it he tries to run in the doors

[@piggyofoz]

Sar P That is so cute!

[@djthereplay]

Actually +Sar P , You helped in the teaching your puppy to love the vet by giving them lots of treats there because through that you helped the puppy connect what would normally be their worst nightmare to something positive . Way to go !! I used to get scarred and anxious and overwhelmed by visiting the doctor and like when i get too far that way , it leads to me getting hyper angry which leads into like defense mode and some "Beavis and Butt-head" words coming out of my mouth that regularly don't and i am expressing myself in ways that i normally wouldn't but letting you know that what is happening is aggravating me and hurtful whereas when a dog or a cat gets overwhelmed and stressed and frustrated , etc . it leads into getting hungry because they cannot move furniture because their legs and their paws are too small and they cannot speak on what is hurting them or stopping their peaceful mindset so therefore their biggest defense is their mouth and that's where the biting comes into play . This is where a number of owners , groomers and veterinarians miss the ball . Once again , when a pet gets angry they get hungry . When you manage a pet's anger fueled hungar you just avoided the worst of the agression which leads to desensitization which leads to tolerance because the pet is destracted from whatever negative feelings they would otherwise be dealing with .

[@meemooooo]

IT'S A CAVALIER!!!! I LOVE THOSE BREEDS

[@heylol3307]

GalaxyRivers 630 same I agree 100•/•

[@aharondelacruz5047]

Hey Zak your a motivation to me I always watch all your videos and they all work for me! thank you so much for everything! I also Have a 4 month old Gerberian Shepsky

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@bellatheteddybear3181]

My dog loves the vet because she LOVES people and to see other dogs.

[@Emily-oy2nq]

BellaTheTeddyBear lol thats the complete opposite of my dog

[@tofusoyboi]

BellaTheTeddyBear I just got my dog 5 hours ago idk what to do I was not prepared for him I have dog food and a bowl that came with the dog they surprised me and I don't have a leash to walk it outside someone what stuff should I buy I'm gonna buy them tomorrow thx

[@Itschillyyyy]

When my sister came over I had her touch my puppy all over, paws, teeth, ears, stomach all while rapid firing treats. I also noticed he was scared of dogs barking so for a few days before the vet visit, we had multiple training sessions with playing videos of dogs barking at a volume he can handle while giving tons of treats (since we knew there would be dogs in the waiting room). His first visit was today and it wasn't perfect, but he almost fell asleep in the waiting room and loved the vets! Since hes so little we use dog safe cat squeeze treat tubes and this helped so much.

[@ironicacorn5107]

My puppy loves vet. No matter what she will always be really happy when we go there!

[@livesinnyc4001]

I’ve been watching hundreds of puppy videos for the last week with different trainers and i regret i came across Zak George so late! His energy and style is so fascinating and fun, no wonder how much animals are comfortable with him! At the beginning i didnt like the ADs of websites and some firms but he is making these videos for free and it is not a problem to watch his recommendations (btw i trust them ;) ) Anyway i just want to thank him for the amazing job! just want a toy poodle video

[@toriwoodward045]

Louie is adorable!

[@doglolz8049]

I have a cavalier King Charles spaniel! She hides under chairs in the vets, now she jumps up super excited since I watched this and subscribed!

[@breemoules3662]

Zak: Lewi you can't bite the camera Lewi: unhand me! I do what I want! 😂

[@1bingbongtingtong1]

Louis

[@jloveslou5911]

Puppy school was at the vet so everytime we went there he got to hang out with his friends so he is sooo good actually excited to go there! And he is so good with his injections 🙈 I have to look away because I can't stand needles but my big boy it doesn't bother him

[@HuskyGamez]

My puppy naturally loves the vet. She likes to give every person she sees kisses.

[@davidlarkin1040]

How is she now?

[@dracoloverable]

My all time favorite breed!

[@shafiamahinchowdhury6166]

SAME

[@jointemail4854]

Zak please make more videos with Louie! I have been watching all your videos because I am getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel next month. This breed is prone to timid behaviors so please make more videos like this one. Also I would love to see Louie learn to fetch! Thank you for all the amazing videos you make

[@showingon]

Me too! Can't wait to take home my Blenheim. :-)

[@LifewithEOE]

Hey Zac! Can you do a video about how to get your dog not nervous or scared while in the car ? When I take my dog Annie into the car she starts to shake and get scared when the car starts to move and then when the car stops she cuddles up to me a countines to shake and when I open the car door so that I can get her out of the car she gets scared of places she either hasn`t seen in a while or has never been to.

[@bellareinhold1348]

Life With EOE great idea

[@hollyeyster5989]

Life With EOE yes!!! Our new puppy has huge car anxiety. A video on helping with that fear would help so much.

[@gotskinn]

Life With EOE ~> I love the remedy called TRANQUILITY from animal apothecary. It really helps...its a natural remedy. I give it about 10mins before the stressful thing is to happen. Its amazing.

[@loudlucky]

Life With EOE exercise a lot and first get the dog used to the car when it's nit moving. treat it when it goes near the car and then move onto getting it to go in voluntarily, once totally comfortable with being in a still car try starting the engine. that's what I did with Tsunami and he loves car rides now!

[@RubberDuckyByah]

Great advice! I also find constantly talking to your dog helped mine, so she know I'm ok with it. Also, destination is important. If every time she goes in the car, the result is not good, she'll fear it. We started taking her in the car (just to the park across the street), so she has begun to associate car rides with park time.

[@gemmam3187]

Louie did brilliant, so cute. Really helpful, thanks.

[@ashleyhaley4970]

Hey Zak! We have a new 9 week old puppy. she is doing so well and all of your videos are helping so much! We have a neighbor dog that starts barking at night and my pup gets scared of going out to potty when he is barking. Anything I can do to help ease her anxiety?

[@Eric-pr3kr]

thanks zak for this vid our mix pup has his first shot as our family member this saterday we got him about three weeks ago and hes 3 months old..this helped me and him with nerves

[@indiasmith5125]

Hi Zac My family is getting an English Cream Golden Retriever in 4 weeks and I would like to say a big thank you to you because you have helped us so much with preparation I was wondering if you could please keep on posting videos for puppies through the next few weeks because you are such an amazing help We live in Australia and always love your videos Thank you so much Can't wait to get our puppy !

[@heylol3307]

I love your videos when I'm older I want to be like you

[@ChickenNugget42069]

Do one about clipping their nails

[@kevslife]

Chicken Nugget yes that would be good.

[@1bingbongtingtong1]

You probably don't need this now, but I get him to roll over and I put my legs on either side of him so he's in my lap and one of my family members gives him small treats while I clip each nail and after each foot, they get a treat

[@EmilyJudgetv]

lol one of my dogs loves the vets and gets really excited because she gives her a little biscuit at the end

[@cheems2936]

[@keolanut3796]

I love watching your videos Zak! They definitely are helping us with our hound lab retriever mix. You're always so informative! =)

[@dev4statingx90]

Good job Louie!

[@cymones1753]

Totally love your work.

[@mariannehabitzl]

Hey, we are about to get a puppy and we're preparing with reading your book and watching the videos. Loving it! Is there a Playlist that has all the videos mentioned in the book 'Guide to a well behaved dog'? That would be extremely helpful. Thanks

[@carollandis5351]

I love your book and videos and also have a 3 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I do not let my puppy walk around at the vet because he does not have all of his vaccines yet and there are many sick dogs who also walk on those floors and I do not want to take a chance of him getting sick.

[@lailalaila4088]

Hi Zac, please could you do a video about fostering dogs? I would love to know more and some top tips about it... thank you ❤ I love your channel 💕

[@snipahshot7697]

Hey zac! can you pls do a video on what we should do for our dog on the first day he gets home. We are getting a miniature spoodle in about a month and we know what we have to do in the long term, but we are unsure on what we should do on the first day. Thanks, love your vids

[@loudlucky]

problem is that you don't always have a vet that's as great and understanding as the one in your video! most vets here just want to rush the exam and go on to the next one...

[@1bingbongtingtong1]

Nooooo, that dog is too cute.

Hi Zac! I'm a huge fan of your videos and your work! I feel like you do a fantastic job with dogs! I have a question for you , what do you do about wait for it... Jealousy in dogs!? My dog Sadie is a 3 year old German Shepherd she is well trained and just about an angel as far as Behavior except when we have other dogs over. she likes to play with other dogs and gets along well with them, but when we pay attention to the other dog she gets super jealous and is downright mean to the other dog to show it who's boss and who we love more. any advice for Sadie? Thanks for your help!

[@avasylvester7612]

My puppy already loves the vet, he just turned 4 months old and we had to take him to get his vaccines and he loved it, I think he just likes people meeting new people

[@smithfamily6218]

Hey zap how do you get to learn all about these dogs and teach us your so good :)

My puppy is really chill when he goes to the vet even when he’s near other dogs he’s just chilling and looking at them doesnt bark or anything

Do you have a video about going to the vet with your puppy

[@ioiobutic]

hello. i adopted a 2years old stray dog and she was a history of fear against people. she is scared by people and new places. she is ok for the first minutes at the vet's but afterwards she started barking and wants to leave , to be away from them. as it is not possible at that moment she became a little agrressive, deflecting her fear on the closest person, us most of times, but also the vet. as the vet is not the most loving person, she feels and the chemistry goes wrong. what to do to make her more comfortable. i have to add we live outside the city and going to the vet means 1 driving hour. she arrives bores, scared high level agitation ....thank you for helping her and us

[@victoriabrooks6825]

We just added a 12 week old Great Dane puppy to our family. I am really concerned about getting him to like the vet.

Any tips on how to help our puppy be comfortable with this?

[@anyajacquez1634]

Any advice on how to ask my vet if I can casually bring my dog around for training purposes? I feel self conscious asking that because I don’t think it’s a common request.

[@sycodanny1329]

Any suggestions?? I have a new puppy and I need to find a vet but every place I look have horrible stories about mistreating their pups and even hurting them. It's scaring me that I won't be able to find somewhere without that risk and all the great reviews are from years ago because of previous staff

[@kevslife]

this is simple.. I take my pup to the vet once a week to socialise with the staff and they give him a fuss and a treat. when it is time to go for treatment he thinks its fine.

[@xxemillie_12]

can u make a video on how to stop dog pulling my dog is not interested on other dogs or anything he only cares about smells and when he smells something he pulls like mad and he's extremely strong plz help I tried your other videos and it's like he's not listening to anything I say

how should i help my adult dog to get over her fear of the vet. My 100 pound dog is very fearful when we go to groomers or the vet. She's had surgeries where she had to be left alone for days at the vet, so her fear is very deep roated. Do you have any advice to help her feel better.

[@소피언니-q9r]

Can you please make a video about what gender you should get as your first puppy

[@harinibaskar9565]

Personally, I don't think gender really matters as your first puppy. I am getting a male in a month and he's already been neutered, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and he's has already had a check up at the vet by the breeder, so I guess it really depends on what you want, different breeds are also different so I think you really have to keep these 2 things in mind, but I'm not an expert so you can double check.

[@therealasadkhan9475]

I'm getting a dog in 3 weeks It's a german shepard puppy,we have a closed backyard and I wanted to know can I keep him outside as a puppy as I can't keep it inside by any means,I can give him a lot of love and time outside , would be highly appreciated if 'dog experts" reply☺

[@pancaqq4578]

For the first few weeks.', I would keep it inside. Small dogs can also be taken away by birds of prey like hawks and eagles. And yes I know it's late but sorry D; just something to keep in mind

[@elilopez6383]

Hi zak i dont now how to stop my dog jack 3 moth old from getting up or jumping at my tables when we are eating . Please help love your vidios

[@7thCobweb]

Eli Lopez Zak has a video on kitchen counter "surfing", search through his videos. The method he uses can also be applied to a table with food. Find the video and use Zak's technique, but try it in small steps. If your dog is begging and making noises, that problem can be fixed by strictly ignoring him (do not give him attention! Dogs love attention and you would just reward him with that, which will make the dog more likely to show that certain behavior!).

[@thodorisnousias9265]

hey Zak. My dog Muffin, is 13 months old and gets very stressed and scared when i take her for walks. There are a few things in particular that i have noticed that scare her, like the garbage truck e.t.c, but generally she is afraid for no reason. This behavior comes and goes from time to time but now, a week after her sterilization it is at its worst. She wont even step outside the door and if i try to drag her she pulls back trying to escape crying. i have tried multiple times with treats and toys with no result. the only conclusions that i have come to are that she feels more at ease when we walk together with other people she knows (my uncle and his two great dogs in particular), and that she gets extremely anxious when restricted (with a short lead) than when she has plenty of space an the freedom to move around. The second though is difficult to exploit because we live in a busy neighborhood with a lot of car circulation and its not very safe to use a long lead. i would love some advice and if possible, a video about walking fearful dogs or something relevant to that would be great! Thanks for all your great videos!
