What Do You Do When Your Dog Tries To Bite You?

[@henrycuello2610]

He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzbin.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

[@waynemartin4453]

I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide kzbin.infoUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!

He knows what he’s doing I don’t get why people think he’s doing it wrong.

[@isaac6371]

the reason there are negative comments is because he is confusing people with his methods which are strictly for youtube. he puts his dog in uncomfortable situations where she is going to fail for a video, which is not what a pro dog trainer is supposed to do. if you are really ignorant enough to believe that he is deserving of respect when all he can't even train his own dog than you are really something else

zak your videos have helped me train my 9 year old rescue i got her at 8 months and trained her because of your videos! shes also a quick learner!

[@malinataylor9184]

Food guarding is a real issue, one that real dog trainers shouldn't have. I have been seeing a lot of comments thanking Zak for showing his dog's problems, but I am yet to see Inertia actually behave properly. He should not be praised for having a dog that doesn't listen, just because it makes many dog owners feel beter about their own dog's problems. There is no problem with dogs making mistakes, especially as puppys, but at 6 months Inertia should be able to at least heel in low distraction environments.

[@StaticResurreXion]

Thank you, I’m not the only one. These people are under his spell. I couldn’t agree more, after a year his border collie bites him, his wife, other dogs, has social anxiety, fear aggression, doesn’t listen, the list goes on. It’s so bad

[@Magicme79]

My dog really liked to chase cats. And various cats liked to lounge in the sun in our fenced garden. Every day they’d be back, and the dog would chase them off. Until a cat showed up that didn’t run... My dog was running full speed towards the cat, but the cat just stood there, staring at her... She didn’t know what to do. I called her back inside and she just looked so relieved. Like “oh thank god, I have to go now!”

[@Sunshineflowers618]

My dog Bella is learning how to do proper leash walking and also how to behave in public places. She and Inertia are behaving in a similar way. Nice to see how the dogs learn and the stages of their development. It helps me gage what my dog is ready for and what she is not ready for. Thankfully my dog has no resource guarding issues and is mostly well behaved and friendly with people. She's a little older than Inertia and was a rescue dog. -Carol Richane

I know it’s been over a year since you filmed this but I just found your channel and I REALLY LOVE these vlogs so much! They show your dog in the moment that she does a negative behavior and how you naturally respond to it, which makes more sense to me than the “staged” situations in most videos. Great job, I’m so excited for when I get my puppy in a couple months, with the help of these vlogs I hope I can train my puppy well!

[@vikkieshoemaker-ellison8305]

she is so smart, she picks up what you are asking so quickly. at her age, what not yet 5 months, she listens remarkably well with so many distractions. she is especially good about not going crazy when something distracts her. she maintains a sit or stays near you even if she isn't responding to looking at you when you ask. i know that is your over all goal, but just the fact she stays calm and just sits there observing the distractions, i think is proof of your amazing training skills. she is an incredibly good dog and so pretty. i can't believe how big she got so fast. she still seems like a little puppy, mainly cuz she is a puppy still, but seeing her in the intro when you first brought her home compared to now, she's grown so much. and she is just so sweet i wanna hug her thru my screen lol.

[@JenniferKelly]

Man. It’s honestly relieving to me to see Inertia jump out of the car after your wait command. My 9mp puppy does that and I thought he was just not getting it. But it’s nice to know, it’s honestly normal. I almost lost him one time with him jumping out. He waits when we get back home pretty well. Anywhere else, nope!

[@wordswritteninred7171]

By 9 months old, the dog should no longer be doing that. Neither should Inertia. I have trained many dogs in my time. I am training my grandsons aussie pup right now. He is only 16 weeks old, and already will not leave the car, walk through a door, a gate, or enter a hallway until I have went ahead. This guy is a really great guy. But he is letting too much go by. With your dog, always make her wait and follow behind you when going through a door, a gate, or hallway. This helps with the car. When you tell her to wait, don't just stand there staring at her. Pretend you are doing something. Getting something out of a bag. tying your shoe. Anything. give her reminders to stay. When you accomplish your fake task, then remove her from the car. This is more of a natural occurrence. If you had a fully trained dog, you could open the door, and with out even giving the wait or stay COMMAND (NOT REQUEST!) the dog will patiently wait for you to be ready to leave the car. Knowing that when you are prepared to leave, you will let her know, and let her out of the car. This MAKES SENSE to the dog. And not just some "trick" they are learning. Dogs are smarter than people realize. And Inertia was tired of waiting if all he was going to do was stand there looking at her. But if he was busy, the dog would know she would need to wait on him. The whole reason for training a dog is so they know how to behave, to have good manners, and for safety. But if you just make them respond to word, at their leisure, then they are simply a trick pony. who performs when they feel like it., Good luck!!! Peace

[@wordswritteninred7171]

check out this 4 month old pup. notice the focus. the eye contact. look what the trainer is saying about what is taught and why. number one thing to teach is communication! if you dont teach communication, and only teach a response to a word, then its not teaching a dog. its teaching a dog tricks. your dog knows what you want, because he does it at home, right? so why is he not doing it elsewhere? because its a trick. and he isnt interested in playing your games at that moment. teach him communication. teach him what is acceptable, AND WHAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! He will listen if you tell him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OkiZV8rqh_atE

[@JenniferKelly]

tama yeager gibson I appreciate your comment and I agree about the communication thing. However, every dog is different. Every dog comes from a different situation. Maybe mine had a rough start in life (he sort of did, luckily it was only a few weeks of his life) and all dogs, like people learn at different paces. That day that my dog jumped out of the car, I was not paying as much attention as I should have been however I caught him in time. And I didn’t give him a firm command. Also it was windy that day and a piece of trash blew by the car and he saw it and lost it. I have faith that in time my puppy will listen to commands in every situation and distracting place. I like Zak George’s approach; patience and letting puppies figure things out in their own time. I’m glad your puppy listens 100% of the time. My last dog, a full blooded labrador listened all the time too, from the day I got him at 10 weeks old until his last breath earlier this year. However my newest pup, a rescue from the shelter deserves a little bit more patience and I will always be there to catch him in those moments he chooses not to listen. Plus, we are in adolescence and it is no joke. Like a teenager he chooses when he wants to listen and he rebels to test his boundaries too. But in time we will get there and we will be all good.✌🏼

[@wordswritteninred7171]

@@JenniferKelly Dont pity your dog. He doesnt need it. And most important, he doesnt want it. Humans who feel sorry for their dog, or only love and never dicipline their dog, only lead it to failure and insecurity. My pup came from a puppy mill. We are not sure when he was ripped from his mother. But he does not lick. EVER Which is a huge indication that he was very very young. He would urinate and deficate right where he laid. Because he was kept in a small cage with a grate floor. So the remains would fall away. And besides, what choice did he have. He was malnourished and full of fleas. Talk about your rough past!!! Even through all this, he is still a loving, trusting, intelligent dog!!! So is yours! He will step up and give you whatever you ask of him! He is not broken! So dont EXPECT him to be broken! I love Zaks patience as well. The problem isnt that. The problem is, he CLAIMS he never tells his dog NO. Truth is, he tells his dog NO all the time! Just NEVER at the right time or about the right things. For example, he cages his dog. He stated he doesnt let Inertia in the kitchen because she jumps on the counter. So what does he do? He places her toys on the counter, and tells her to "leave it". THAT is NOT telling her "dont jump on the counter". He thinks that telling her that is somehow mean. But what do you think? Whats mean? Telling your dog, "you will not have freedo. In your home. No! You may not go in the kitchen with me". OR "yeah, come in the kitchen. Be free in your home. But DONT jump up on the counter"? If Inertia could talk, she would tell him, "Just tell me the rules. Ill cooperate! I just want to be with you! I dont want to be confined in a cage". You are "waiting for your dog to get it"? He has got it. When you say wait, or stay, he will stay. But is that REALLY the rule you want for the car? As you stated, you were not clear or fast enough and other things happened. So what did you do when your dog jumped out of the car before you wanted him to? We know what Zak does. He continues on. So Inertia has it as well. But what you, and Zak, really want, is for the dog to wait until you are ready for them to exit the car. So TEACH THAT! When your dog jumps out before you are ready, put him back in the car! He cannot exit the car until you say so. THAT is HOW a dog exits a car. Regardless if you say stay or not. I mean, unless you want to ALWAYS have to command your dog. For safety reasons, the dog should learn the right way to exit. Upon command. Not a minute sooner. That is the difference between teaching a dog proper manners and teaching a dog tricks. Just like Inertia on the counters. TELL your dog the rules! Ots only fair. And its what they want! Peace

The bow command is easy.

[@danmagoo]

This series is quite interesting, frankly more than the expected scenarios where you easily make every dog behave perfectly -- Inertia is a challenge, which makes the videos more educational. I am no expert, but admittedly when my puppy first tried to bite me (food guarding) I used negative reinforcement -- a loud "NO!!! NO BITES!!! BAD DOG!" and, yes, an immediate, smart smack in the nose. Not enough to cause a yelp or a grunt, but to get his attention. And he did NOT repeat the behavior, at all - with me. My wife, in similar moments, yanked her hand away and the puppy thought it was a game, then the issue was harder to correct.

[@kimburnett5669]

Yeah, I did that the first time, and the second, and never again, but may have helped make things much worse. I am now facing to pay hundreds of dollars for training in the new year for a serious resource guarding issue with my 11m old. You should NEVER respond to aggression with aggression. I've learned that much. Even from the local small town trainer here who is not a positive reinforcement guy (he is into e-collars and I don't use him). Aggression can trigger heightened anxiety and fear, which can, and often does, beset increased aggression and mistrust. Don't follow Dan's advice if you have a dog showing signs of resource guarding There are better approaches for onset. Teaching your dog to leave it, conditioning from a young age, or a broader distraction and removal (out of sight from the dog) can help.

Inertia is lucky to have you, with her food aggression in a different home she could grow up not knowing she shouldn’t do that. And then get in trouble for her “aggression”. But with you, you know how to handle her and are doing perfect

Very useful programme, thank you taking her out, as it keeps it real and aware of what to do. Great!

[@XXDevinReevesXX]

Why are people so judgemental of training? At this point in the series, she's what, 6 months old? You can't expect perfection. You support the learning and the process.

[@breejustine]

XXDevinReevesXX She’s actually only 19 weeks old at this point in the series! In real life she’s about 7 months old, though.

[@XXDevinReevesXX]

@@breejustine Awesome! I was estimating on how long I thought she'd been around. My point still stands. I think y'all are doing a great job! I just don't get why a lot of people are expecting perfection out of such a young puppy. I think it's awesome that y'all are showing how real training looks. It's non-linear and being controlling and militant just builds resentment between owner and dog.

Hi my dad bought me your book and I'm already learning I just got a dog and I skipped the parts about choosing the dog and things like that since we've done that. I've only read 6 pages and I love it my dog is already becoming better with the things I'm trying thank you 🙂

I love watching Inertia's progress. My herding mix/mystery breed puppy is just a tad older than Inertia (in the series, that is), and I know that training can be frustrating--and their behavior, as you said, can be a bit embarrassing. I appreciate your positivity in the videos, but sometime could you talk about whether there was anything you didn't expect in Inertia's behavior and how training her compared to that of your other border collies? Did you have to adapt your training style?

[@JohnDoe-ub8fq]

Looks like you are required to carry 25 pounds of treats with you..

[@vanity68]

Always. He can’t train without them. Terrible.

[@giftofthewild6665]

@@vanity68 I always carry treats when I'm in public with the dog so I can reward for calm / appropriate behaviour (dog is fearful /reactive), but Zak uses them to bribe and lure his dog - this isn't good practice. He is too reliant on using a treat in front of his dog's nose to get her attention - by this age she should be responding to his voice / her name, and the treat should only be a reward for paying attention or completing a behaviour. I think his biggest problem with inertia is that he lets her get over threshold too often and then tries to work with her in that state, necessitating the use of lures and bribes to keep her attention and focus.

[@vanity68]

Lyca Anthea I agree. I carry treats for my boxer too. But I don’t always rely on them or he will go where’s my damn treat if I don’t have them one day.

[@melindaneale1669]

​@@giftofthewild6665 how do you train without treats? Genuine question... We go through a ton but I wasn't aware there was an alternative

[@richardchantlerrico]

​@@melindaneale1669 Dogs respond to voice and body language alot, often a good boy/girl with pat and cuddle will do a far better job. Sure treats are good to introduce a new trick but use very sparingly. You also need to reprimand the dog when they are naughty. Often just the tone is what you need, don't yell and scream, with maybe a tap on the nose (light tap to get attention, not to hurt). It's a skill you learn, I was raised with dogs and so when our first dogs were being taught my parents also taught us how to train them. I got my BC mix to the point that he would not walk outside no matter what without my command. He would be at the door excited that I'm home with other family members saying to go and see me but he would not move without my say so. I miss him he was the best boy :-(

The resource guarding is literally the last 2 minutes for anyone who clicked on the title expecting that to be the main part of the video

All I did with resource guarding with my pup is move my hand through his food, hand feed him and take away his food bowl slowly and then give it bsvl

[@avastone9806]

also i love the way you are so real I feel like other dog training vids have a lot of steps, but u don't really have steps, u just show and I feel like although it isn't 'organized' it seems more real bc its just one big step (:

[@kibrika]

I realised I haven't noticed how the clicker got phased out. Why not use "yess" from the very beginning?

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

kibrika I’m wondering the same thing!!!!

[@wil554]

I noticed that too. In his earlier videos he used both the clicker and “yes.”

[@Jackysutarrodetierra]

@@wil554 as far as I know he still uses it, you can see it on instagram. The clicker and the "yes" ar sort of interchangeable, the benefit of the clicker is that it's always the exact same sound and it's usually more precise. I think any dog should know both clicker and verbal markers for practical reasons, but usually trainers end up using the clicker when they are training something new (again because it's more precise) and the verbal marker (the yes) for everything else.

[@ilonakatona9835]

Incredible how clean the streets and parks there! I cannot take a meter without stepping into trash or leftover here in Turkey. Even that few park are very dirty here. Huge challenge to walk a puppy. Your tips are always very helpful! Thank you!

[@rather-reverend]

My dog and I are completing training for animal-assisted therapy work, and I want to give a talk about various training methodologies in practice - and this series has been TERRIFIC. An observation: As a trainer you give dogs a minimum of strong corrections/aversive stimuli - i.e., no yelling, collar-snapping, etc. (Though you take considerable pains to keep her from indulging in un-desired behavior - like catching her when she wants to dive out of the car or not letting her chase the squirrel. There's a difference between removing/avoiding a positive stimulus toward undesired behavior and delivering aversive stimulus when it happens!) Also, I'm SURE you would also avoid environmentally engineered aversive stimuli - like, say, booby-trapping the kitchen counter. OTOH, I notice that you DON'T avoid negative/aversive enforcement from Angela or Intertia. (I.e., it's OK for the cat to hiss or swat, or for the dog to bark or nip - though you have ALSO been careful from letting Inertia's corrections get out of control.) I think this distinction between handler corrections and corrections from other animals makes sense - but I'd love to get your thoughts about the difference. I expect that there are reasons for this, In particular, if Inertia is going to live with other animals she needs to be exposed to the way other animals will behave if she doesn't respect their boundaries. She shares an environment with other animals who WILL hiss, growl, snap, etc. if she doesn't respect their boundaries. She doesn't share an environment with other handlers who will snap on her collar if she doesn't sit down on command ... Still, I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts on the distinction.

[@teigengulgin9930]

Sorry i'm a little late to the series but I've been binge watching and I can't stop. Your dog is so cute, and i love the way you are training her. Keep up the great work.

[@TheDeanSorenson]

Zak, seriously, out of a “29 minute - 35 second” video, you finally address what you titled the video after, then spend literally the last 2 minutes to address what is titled in your video? Are you for real?

[@CUniqueTheOneAndOnly]

Admirable...my whole video would be how she bit me and i bit her right back. 😂 Btw shes a pretty good girl and most pups will bite at least once. Its whether the behavior is addressed properly. I feel it depends on culture and other various factors but all in all its not good to bite the hand that feeds.

[@kinzalee1]

to be honest I found this video to be showing off Inertia with no real training at all,,,just the stuff that has been gone over and over in previous videos. I too was expecting a whole video on what to do if your dog/pup tries to bite you.

[@mtspp5801]

I was frustrated with this as well. I like Zak's videos, but was hoping this one would help me solve a problem with my dog, and the title was really misleading.

[@SassyWinterFox]

@@mtspp5801 what are they biting you for? Resource guarding? Specifically just you?

[@mtspp5801]

@@SassyWinterFox not sure - she's a rescue puppy (11 wks). Not specifically me and not all the time, she just gets Cujo every once in a while, then chills out and starts rolling on her back. I can't figure it out, but will take any suggestions. Right now we're just trying to redirect her biting to chew toys, but I'm a first-time owner and don't really know what I'm doing. Hence, KZbin training videos :D

[@kellerayra7363]

I had amazing results using a lure pole with a toy on it. Getting to chase the moving toy to go again was extremely strong motivation to give me the attention and response I wanted quickly. Which transitioned on public situations with less frustration. We still use it for combination cardio mental exercise. I now have a border collie I can call off a deer, pays no attention to squirrels, and wouldn’t herd a goose if asked. I found allowing or giving him permission to mark the next tree immediately after passing another dog with minimum attention on them has really cut down on the excitement. Yes sniffing marking permission is a reward for walking nicely on more structured walks. Less structured walks he has freedom of choice once he learned to cross behind me instead of tripping me with leash crossing front side. And return to my side when passing another dog or human instead of approaching without permission.

[@ptacnik]

Blows me away, after all these videos, he FINALLY corrects the dog when behaving badly. A simple "hey" goes a long way. It's no wonder she ends up having major bark issues MONTHS down the line. Shes NEVER told the barking is inappropriate. Shes never told when ANYTHING is inappropriate. You can't just distract a dog every time it misbehaves and expect it understand that you didn't like the earlier behavior. And up until this resource guarding issue, that's all hes done. But then he undercuts his own communication by reverting back to distraction methods and giving her food. Shes not going to understand what is inappropriate if he never communicates it to her.

[@StaticResurreXion]

ptacnik exactly. Now we just need to get these other several million people to see that

[@evaadams7998]

Dogs can bite for a number of reasons . If they are abused , tormented by children of adults . Lack of simulation , not being taken out enough for daily walks . There are a dozen reasons . Some owners shouldn’t have dogs they are a life times commitment . I know someone that never takes her dog for a walk . It’s not abused it’s well feed etc. it’s only small but apart from a back garden , it never meets other dogs or integrate with anyone apart from the owners . If it’s a rescue dog , it may have been mistreated in its last home . Just have patience , kindness , love and attention . Then if all fails , get a dog trainer esacare.com/best-trainers-certified-therapy-dog/-

What is with all the haters? Like seriously who watches a trainer who's methods they don't agree with so they can comment and be annoying? I don't get it. I personally train mostly positively but I wouldn't go tell off someone because they were using an e collar!

[@MrArlenBrazill]

I think you should take another look at the video. What I see, when Inertia was getting out of the back of the car, is that she started to go, realized she wasn't supposed to, tried to stop, then fell out. She jumped so as not to smash her face into the ground.

[@MrArlenBrazill]

She lost her balance; her butt was tipping over her front paws. She had to jump in order to avoid a summersault.

[@wl5227]

I love this series, we have watched them all starting a few weeks ago since we are getting a new puppy this weekend, but this week's episode seemed like Inertia was being a bit like a rebellious teenager, are there phases like that dogs can go through?

[@brittanyhoneyman9514]

I have a 6 month old border collie/aussie shepherd mix and we're having the exact resource guarding problem that came up at the end of the video. My partner is home with her all day and is the primary person doing training when I'm at work. (I do sessions when i'm home too.) She's exhibiting some resource guarding behaviors but is much better with my partner, she rarely nips at him even when he touches her food dish at meal times. But she's quick to lunge and snap (not like she's trying to injure but has definitely broken skin a little bit) when I'm working on the resource guarding with her. I know patience is key. But it's hard to be the puppy parent that she's less respectful towards.
