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.

Eeeehhhh Zak’s got this! 😄😄😄

[@annacollins501]

I was a preschool toddler teacher for 5 years. I have discovered that training a dog is very VERY similar to teaching a toddler. Positive reinforcement (positive decipline is what we say in the classroom) and patience are always the key to successful training/teaching.

[@breejustine]

Love this 😍 When I first met Zak, I asked him how to know what to do in any situation where I had no idea how to respond to what my dog was doing... He told me, “Imagine your dog was a toddler, what would you do?” and I was like 🤯 Of course he went on to explain that dogs are different than toddlers in many ways, but it’s such a great place to start when I feel like I don’t have a clue what to do with my dog. It’s been so helpful!!

[@saramations]

positive discipline? what does that mean? what are you adding to the situation for discipline?

[@breejustine]

@@saramations I think she was just saying that in the classroom they use a different term for it, not that it’s applied differently. But I could be wrong!

[@JENNY4684]

I'm a middle school teacher, and I often find myself using the same techniques with my students and my puppy :)

[@annacollins501]

@@saramations Nah it's about focusing less on the things done wrong but reward when the things done right. Like instead of saying "don't run", use "walk". That's how I use it in the classroom.

[@Aurora-k2e]

I took my dog to a public market. and he did so well!! Didn’t bark at anyone and stayed by my side! Thank you for the help !!!

[@bhavinisharma4776]

I have done everything. My shih tzu is so stubborn. On his first few walks, he was terribly afraid of everyone, would tuck at his leash, bark at everyone and everything. Got me frustrated, but I tried to work on it by giving him treats and training him, and only on ONE single walk did he behave relatively well. But we couldnt take him out due to a situation and he's again back to being so unruly and distracted liked Moira. How did you dog learn? I am literally so frustrated and feeling helpless

[@Aurora-k2e]

@@bhavinisharma4776 Well it took about 4 months for my standard poodle. He still barks at dogs. In one of Zaks videos he says to try and keep your dogs attention on you. Another thing i found that helps keep Romeo, the pupers, under control was a head collar. But if you get one, make sure it’s not to tight or it can make it hard for them to breath. The series i found that related to Romeos Situation was Inertia’s experience. Especially the walks. Also. make sure to take them on a walk everyday. unless it’s pouring or really really hot. because then they get used to it! I’m not as good as Zak. But that’s what i did!!

[@scarlett_bvnny]

@@Aurora-k2e we got a head collar for my pup but he keeps patting at it to take it off and doesn’t seem to like it all that much, did this happen for your poodle as well? I’m not sure if I should just get a regular harness instead or if I should just use the head collar and try to get him used to it

[@Aurora-k2e]

@@scarlett_bvnny Yes it did happen! My older one got it when he was around 1 because he would not stop pulling. But now i open it up, and he puts his head into it with out a second thought.

Hooray!! I was hoping you guys would like the troubleshooting scene in this episode 🥳

[@Seabeams]

“So I’ve got this very normal sized bone that I’m going to offer her” (holds up a bone that must have been part of the dinosaur whose skull is on display beside the fruit in the kitchen)...

[@breejustine]

In case you're curious, our dino's name is Rex and he's my favorite centerpiece for our dining table when we have family over 🤣🙌 And yes he was happy to loan us one of his tiny T-Rex arm bones for Moira to practice with!! He is such a helpful guy. 🦖

[@Seabeams]

@@breejustine Rex is an excellent conversation piece. I was just thinking as I watched the video about how nice and well-appointed your home is , then I noticed ‘Is that a... Dino skull?’ Hahaha. Now I’m convinced when aliens attack, you can tap on Rex to open up the ground behind the house and Zak’s secret legion of trained dinosaurs will emerge to save the world, catching the flying saucers like frisbees in their mouths. (We live in different time zones, I’m pretty groggy from staying up to watch this video as it was posted; strange ideas sometimes occur at 2am)

[@devinwalsh9293]

Zak is fascinating in that he watches every nuance of her behavior and literally psychoanalyzes Moira to figure out how she can be successful. I have an 8wk old golden and watching this is changing how I see my puppy. I’ve watched 1-4 + 3 or 4 other videos. This is a master of his craft.

[@inhabitantofearth]

These dogs must be very sad when they realize YOU are not going to be their parent. They must miss you very much because I've watched other dog trainers and you seem to understand dogs on a very deep level...Inertia is very lucky. And i'm grateful for you for teaching me to understand and have patience with them. :)

[@cpete2976]

So very true.

[@jewel.s.journey]

right he treats dogs with LOVE!

[@killerkoolaid192385]

Omg I used to watch him so many years ago when his old dog was like a year old maybe and I was training my new border collie. Now he's such an old man almost 15 and just can't do the tricks or commands anymore because he has Dementia and DM and is on his way out. So greatful for him, learned a bunch from Zak. And its just so neat to see both our old dogs still living the good life into old age and to have this video pop up in my feed after so many years.... now im back to watching Zak! Good feels 😌

[@zakgeorge]

Love this!

[@jordanray7860]

Hey zak, I know a lot of dog trainers who train differently than you give you a hard time. I just wanted to let you know that you’re my favorite trainer and have inspired me a lot. I first got into dog behavior because of you! Just remember those people dragging you down have little to no knowledge of dog behavior and none of them have any education or certification. You’re awesome and help so many people!

[@MusicalKerbear]

This series is so useful! We adopted a fully grown completely untrained reactive rottie a few years ago. Talk about challenge! This video is what we needed when we first got him because even though he is better now, at the beginning all training videos were not very helpful because they had much less stubborn and low energy dogs compared to ours! Smart high energy dogs know what you are asking, and just decide whether the reward is actually worth compliance or not 😂 literally a 100lb toddler

[@FurAndFromElise]

We are so glad this started! We adopted a shepherd mix a couple months ago that's 6 years old. She was just left out in the yard for 4 years. She's so smart but so untrained.

[@annie6745]

I bet Moira would be a good sport dog or search and rescue dog. You can see how smart and driven she is. GSDs love to have a job too. I hope we see her adoptive family give her a job she loves.

[@marybowman4847]

YES!!! such a valid, good point!

[@teardowndan5364]

Moira looks and acts like a working-line GSD, so that extra energy and drive definitely has to go somewhere for everyone's sanity's (and furniture's) sake.

[@VeryBadReputation]

Working line dogs follow a instinct driven approach. What I see is the opposite. Trying to "lowering" a dog so you can have control over it is sad.

[@RichardWraith]

@@VeryBadReputation What’s sad is when armchair experts make such uneducated comments! I don’t see any dog training videos on your channel?

[@clivemargeriney3966]

Moira is SO like my dog! We rescued him at 6 months (husky x border collie) and the only difference was he was also mouthy 😂 we discovered Zak George and became huge fans and followed his advice and now we have a 4 year old ANGEL for a dog!!! I have full faith in Zac George training Moira.

[@unknownpluvio]

I really needed this series because my dog has the same problems as her, thank you for the series

That's mine too 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@BladesDark]

I've learned alot of these ideas from his earlier videos but it's good to refresh with these new series. My pup Sirius has a good base but completely new or objects that he doesn't see often, he goes bonkers. Dogs don't excite him anymore 😂 But lord help me if I don't have a treat anytime he sees a animal he's never encountered. Specifically Horses.

[@Flippokid]

If you're fine with your dog getting on furniture, please do yourself a favor and teach them they only can get up there if you invite them. It makes it so much easier when you're visiting friends or family where they don't like it, if they're used to needing permission. I did this way too late and had to train for weeks to make it reliable.

[@lilymasters708]

I just taught my dog to get 'off' the furniture. We didnt need to teach him to stay off of it because he was never able to get on it. After he learned more manners and matured a bit, we started letting him on the furniture, and he still reliably gets off. 'Off' is probably the most reliable command that he will do for some unknown reason.

[@kylasbibi]

Exactly. That also goes for dogs coming into your personal space when not invited. We should not give in to their whining or wanting attention as that also encourages more whining to get attention. Kinda like the baby always crying to get attention.

[@Flippokid]

@@kylasbibi Well, my dog tells me she needs a walk, water or food by sitting down in front of me, or licking my hand. I also don't mind her to come ask for a petting, as long as she accepts it's not always happening. Whining for it is always a bad thing, but other than that it's a case by case basis if you ask me.

[@kylasbibi]

@@Flippokid if that works for you. That’s fine. However, here we eliminated that by having a scheduled time when Luna eats, checking her water bowl at intervals and having a scheduled time to walk. Dogs need routine. Structure helps to alleviate the anxiety of wondering what will happen next. My dog gets petted but not if she demands it. But that’s just how we roll.

[@Flippokid]

@@kylasbibi Most things are pretty scheduled when I'm home alone, but when I'm out at work, with friends or have friends over it's easy to lose the time.

[@kevykev9957]

If you made these real videos every single day. I’d watch them every single day. Especially about troubled dogs like this one. I’ve learned so much and haven’t even scratched the surface.

[@Ben_Neill]

Keep up the unedited cuts of the training session. As a new trainer in training (Studying at the Ethology Institute), I enjoy seeing the more raw training footage. You reinforced my training habits before I even started learning all the theory. So I thank you for taking the approach you do.

[@nomadicvelocities]

I watched your videos for one year at least before getting a puppy. I have both your books too. Right now, he's almost 1 year old, the real win is just creating a bond. But I'm revisiting here because of the beautiful work around things like eye contact. I just want to commend you for your consistent respect with each animal, it's so gentle and beautiful. Thank you so much for always showing that, it's really a special and care-filled thing. I imagine that i'll continue to watch your videos for many years. The care and respect for each animal is a very unique and lovely thing. Thank you Zak

[@emilyromeril1976]

You always say "if something is too much for your dog, or they're not ready - take a step back". I love that we can SEE how you take steps back with Moira. This reminded me that even when I feel defeated because I feel like I have tried everything, there is probably a small variable I CAN still change that will make a difference (like you using a less exciting toy when teaching look at me while distracted). Thank you so much! :)

Yes! Exactly! Good to read this feedback as it’s one of the tougher things about dogs.

[@emilyromeril1976]

Thank you so much for this series!! I just did the first 24hrs with my 1.5year old rescue border collie. She was abandoned by previous owners because she has never been trained and has separation anxiety. I was so anxious to take her on, but your videos have been a huge comfort. She is doing great so far, and has shown off by learning leave it, look at me and sit in her first training session with ease.

[@jedi6254]

When you said you couldn’t wait til tomorrow I felt like that a couple nights ago when I first saw your videos I was excited to get up and I actually wanted to get up in the night and start training but I waited till morning and now here we are a couple days later- I was able to keep him away from the neighbors dogs passing, looking at me, coming, laying down.. doing all the things that you were saying.

I just want to thank you so much for this series! I have owned only boxers in my adult life and they were all very easy going and easy to train. Then I got Ivan (who is a Euro bred boxer). He is exactly like Moira (super high drive and really smart) and I didn't know how in the world to train a dog like him. You have helped me have several light bulb moments. I have successfully trained him to let go of toys which was something I thought I'd never get him to do! Next we are going to start working on his impulse control.

[@korni1469]

Moira is EXACTLY like my dog and I am so grateful for these series, I learn a lot and I can also teach my dog better

[@GibberishLetters]

I love the couch training! It’s something this series inspired us to work on with our senior rescue boxer. He loves the couch and we’re happy to have him there but he was showing signs of resource guarding his space so now every time he’s in the spot we want or spreads over the whole couch, he’s learning to get up and reposition himself to prioritize where the human wants to sit. It’s definitely a work in progress since he gets very frozen up and scared if he thinks we’re mad at him. I’m having my whole house watch this series with me since we have an 8 month old GSD and an old man rescue boxer (about 10 years old) and they’re loving it!

[@Bojambo]

This series is awesome. You've really helped with my timid and anxious rescue Alaskan Husky. The biggest concept anyone should take away from your videos is letting the dog CHOOSE to make a good decision. I love seeing my dogs little brain working away thinking about what she should do. Although your liberal treat usage has my dog treating me like a snack vending machine on walks and at the dog park 😜. But she PAYS attention to me outside now which is a big win.

[@Annzipli]

[@laurabuckley8085]

Great episode. It's so nice to see how you adapt to Moira not responding to a situation. With my new rescue its hard to watch training videos and it looks so easy but in reality it's not the case as my high energy dog is just not going to pick things up so quickly as the world is super exciting . These videos are so reassuring. Can't wait for the next one. I love her name. We have a town in northern ireland called Moira

[@tashianafrankowski4447]

Moira acts just like my dog Sarge. So it's really good to see someone training a dog exactly like mine. Even the yipping when seeing another dog is exactly like my dog.

[@jodiehamilton8518]

I’ve been watching quite a few dog training videos but Zak and Moira popped up on my feed last night. Ive been binge watching how he is making that bind/connection. I have a young German shepherd male who I’ve been training to be my Psychiatric service dog. He’s 16 m old now and has been super amazing until recently. As he matures he’s taking on that GSD protective stance and is becoming dog reactive which is NOT acceptable behaviour. In the beginning I called him a Jack-alope. He would bounce from couch to couch 😱. Same with our walks. He’d hit the end of the leash and then go the opposite direction 🤯. He now walks so perfectly and beautifully by my side. Never pulls. No tension on the leash in public. People admire how well behaved he is… until recently 😞. He has become dog reactive. His stance changes. Hackles go up. Low moans begin. I have to immediately change direction. Thank you Zak, you are really helping to teach me how to deal with this. I realize his maturity level has a lot to do with it. He was a rescue and was fixed early at 6m. He is now reaching maturity. He is 98lbs already but is still growing. My last male was 123lbs and I could take him anywhere!! ❤️. Absolutely no dog reaction 😊. I totally resonate with your methods of training over any others I’ve seen. 🥰

[@TheThaella]

This is a dream dog in the making. If I lived in the US I would adopt her in a second, even from day one. This GSD reminds me so much of my own especially when she was young (Shiva is about nine years old now,). When I got Shiva she was destroying everything she could get her jaws on (hence her name). Barked, lunged and jumping at dogs and humans in a playful and exciting manner. But she was so willing to work and after about a month all the destructive behaviour stopped. Her energy and drive shifted to working for me instead of reacting to everything around her. You can do this Zak. With your patience, very clear body language and understanding of what is reasonable to demand of her, this can succeed in 14 days. This is a very promising series. Good luck with Moira! (from one Dog-trainer to another)

[@TheKaurK]

Its really interesting seeing you train moira because inertia seemed like she may have been able to pass a service dog temperment test early on, just a really good temperment. But moira seems like what a lot of people deal with with rescues.

[@sarahradke7078]

Thank you for doing this very realistic training video with a high energy pup. It’s been really helpful to hear you talk about how you trouble shoot and change things up when something isn’t working. I’m trying to apply this to our lovely young energy-laden dog, who is super smart, but does not learn in the same way our previous dog did. Slowly increasing my skills and ‘bag of tricks’, so thanks again!

[@nataliemorgan1888]

Something I found helpful when I was crate training my dog was to tell her to go down when I was preparing her food, which meant to go lay down in a certain spot, and then I would walk to her crate, and say, "Crate!" and she was supposed to go and sit in her crate until I had put in her food and told her free. It took a lot of work to teach her, but it was definitely worth it because it reflects something positive, like being fed, on something that the dog might not like, in this case, the crate. We have a female German shepherd, and she used to act just like this when we got her. The pulling, biting and chewing on people and clothes, and losing her mind when she sees dogs and birds. She looks just like a slightly smaller version of Moira, and it is SO adorable!

[@Aaron-cb3pm]

hi! ive been watching your videos even before you got inerta and you inspired me to do dog training from a very young age i actually just did a dog training session with my friends new puppy and i taught how to walk on leash inside and i took off the leash so the puppy could have a break and he still kept walking next to me even without the harness and leash on it was so cute and that just shows that dogs would go the extra mile to use what they learn and I am so happy that your training is so positive and helpful thank you!

This series is helping me so much with my dog. He is 10 mo old puppy cross blue heeler and maremma. 80% of the time he is absolutely great. I am working on the 20% which is jumping up in play, leave it, coming when called, pulling on leash . So normal stuff. This series is helping me. Thanks for doing it.

[@jnauttube]

It's always heartening to see a real professional struggle. I think it's helpful to us amateurs to realize that this job isn't easy. I have a Lab Shepherd mix that's 5 years old, very high energy and has some distraction and reactivity issues on the leash. I still struggle to this day even though I work with her on every walk. I have no doubt Zak could fix her issues with intensive work, but at least I no longer feel like a failure.

I’m always working on training it out of him so I appreciate seeing a dog like this, even though my dog isn’t quite at her level of excitement 😅

[@juleslaurence6790]

You are so good and patient. My doxie has resource guarding and I do not know what to do anymore...

[@Flippokid]

Start with something of low value to her, and then add higher value treats. Work your way up to being able to take it from her and then give it back like Zak did a couple times.

[@juleslaurence6790]

@@Flippokid I am most certainly going to give that a try I am just so scared of being bitten!

[@sagasutinen4694]

@@juleslaurence6790 I would go the route of training wait when giving the food and leave it, so they will leave the food alone, use a leash at first and even a muzle if needed, someone else can hold the dog while you take the food or toy away, also "trading" with them is a good way of getting them to leave what you want alone. Give them something else they like so you can take away the resource they are guarding :)

@@sagasutinen4694 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me!! I will try this!

[@elenacodanunziante7375]

@@juleslaurence6790 usually dogs show other signs of resource guarding before snapping/biting: freezing, chewing faster, staring at you without turning their head.(whale eyes), growling etc. Stop before they show these signs, and work your way closer and closer. If your dog shows any of these signs, it's probably because you are going too fast and need to slow down. Take your time and be patient, go slower than you think you need to. It's easy to do things wrong and make it worse, your dog should not be feeling uncomfortable about your presence when training

I love that you have taken moira on....she is so cute and has so much potential. All she needs is a good trainer like you 😊

[@kareneaton433]

I love this series, learning a lot of good training tips for my lab/shepherd (and who knows what else) 21/2 year old dog. This series is one of the most realistic training videos I have seen. I very much appreciate you showing miscues instead of everything being perfect and including how to turn miscues into positive training exercises

[@LaneyandherGermanShepherds]

THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !! FOR TALKING ABOUT THE CRATE!! IT IS CONFINEMENT DISORDER WITH GERMAN SHEPHERDS!! THIS BREED DOSE NOT BELONG IN A CRATE FOR HOURS AND HOURS ! SO MANY PEOPLE THINK FIRST THING IS THAT A GSD HAS TO BOND WITH THE CRATE .THEY NEED TO BOND AND TRAIN WITH YOU NOT A CAGE.

Your honesty is admirable

Wonderful and helpful video! Thank you for helping Moira be her best dog self and for this video!

[@zakgeorge]

You are so kind

[@michals923]

I love this series! I just brought home a 5 month old GSD and we also struggle with reactivity and jumping and anxiety outbursts! Thank you for training a different type of dog with behavioral issues. Moira is amazing

[@jeraldineotero649]

I am also so invested in this. I really love this series. ALSO when you mentioned cobra kai last week i was like YOU LOOK LIKE RALPH MACCHIO! Daniel-san!

[@Joice_M]

My chocolate lab is 7months old, I learned a lot from this channle and thanks to that, she is a pretty well mannered, obediant dog. Although not perfect, she still jumps on new people and gets distracted by dogs, loose leash walking is getting there. But she is super smart!

[@victoriagore6192]

This series has already helped me do better training with my german shepherd puppy who is so much like Moira. Thank you so much 💓

[@Josh_Lilyshihtzu]

Watching this series helps me reevaluate how to teach Lily even more I have good days and not so amazing days as she is 3 years old but have seen great improvements in longer term

[@miguelsoliz772]

I’m very grateful for your channel, it shows the reality and real expectations and the time and effort it takes. So many channels on KZbin make it seem like in minutes you can have the perfect dog. It makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong or my dog is broken. I had a bad morning with my 18 month old hound mix on our walk. It broke my confidence I had in my dog and in hindsight it shouldn’t have, no one or nothing is perfect. Great videos sir keep up the hard work.

[@isabellaroseskyklopukh3289]

Loving this series soooooo much!!! I had the same issues training my rescue dog with lie down, took her a few weeks to even let me lure her into the position at all! She’s better with it now, but still won’t hold it or stay in a down if I ask her to.

[@yordichavez7748]

Been waiting for the next episode and im excited to watch

[@beckspectrum2102]

As an owner of a high energy puppy who in a few short months is going to weigh more than I do, leash training and puppy biting has been my biggest struggle. She’s already jammed my finger once from pulling. I’m scared to think of what could happen if I can’t get reliable leash behavior soon, and this series has been SO helpful for me. If you ever wanted to dive into service dog training, I’d absolutely love to see your perspective on it!

[@MN-fr9be]

Oh my gosh ur vids have really helped me train my new puppy!! Thank you! Keep up the good work

[@brojackthehorse]

I'm in lovveeee with this series...... I'm soooo invested.... Great job!!!!

[@taleahrose126]

its so encouraging for me to the struggles even professionals face when dog training, I love this series thank you so much

[@shanleymello6527]

I get so excited when I see another episode of Moira training. Such great detail in these real-life training sessions. Many Thanks to the George family. Hope to see more rescue dog trainings in the future.

[@mikeymechanic]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES my 8 month old shepherd got the paw trick from your last video in 5 minutes such smart dogs she made me so proud ❤️

[@dharmarico3251]

Hi, I just adopted a dog and your book helped alot

[@terezaknight1879]

I got very anxious GSD cross so this video is a massive help. It kind of summaries everything there is which is cool. I am well happy it shows the initials fails and how to correct them too 👍

[@jman2k0]

I really enjoyed this series. I think these videos show that not all dog breeds are the same when it comes to training. Working line dogs require extra efforts and tools.

[@Moon-gl8vb]

Hey Zak! I really enjoy these types of series were you train from start to end, very entertaining! I was so excited for episode 4 after I watched episode 3. Keep up the good work and good luck on your journey.

[@manimaran4859]

ohh i see that aerial training shot for the intro! killing it, getting better with each new video! love you guys

[@breejustine]

🤩🔥

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

You are very experienced the work with the leash especially, that little pull, to get back her attention is gold. Btw you are learning in pretty much 2 weeks, where a normal boss has months for, amazing work.

[@curiouswiki3084]

The first leash training session went wayy above my expectations, she's such a fast learner and Zak is the best as always!

[@sheri4605]

I love this series! Thank you for taking on the challenge

[@ArlynSigeti]

I have my training students watch your videos as homework! This one in particular, fits in so well with what I have been teaching in class 😁
