How Often and How Long Should you Train Your Dog? 

I love Zak so much, I'm not even mad that he spends at least a good 2-4 minutes promoting a product. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Both the exercises and the games are very practical so dog owners may use them throughout the day to have a well-trained dog. There are training nuggets throughout, both in the step-by-step instructions ru-vid.comUgkxfKlzfzw0sMZ_RgZNzMeOPu6d4b5i5XWl and the troubleshooting sections that will help enrich the lives of both dogs and their owners!

"for example, you how sometimes you put fried chicken on the ground and forget about it, like you do." 😂 dead.

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 ru-vid.comUgkxKkYeOoCV_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!

My furry best friend for 15yrs died last January 11th 2018. I miss him everyday. Your channel helps me to move on and be happy. I am still grieving. Thank you Zak.

I too often leave fried chicken on the floor

Something I've started doing that really helps is giving my dogs long 'soak times'. Even up to two weeks, no training, just fun and hanging out. When I then go back to see if the training has taken, the dogs are five times better than two weeks ago.

"Sometimes you put a plate of fried chicken on the floor, like you do" Yes Zak, how did you know?? Haha love your videos! I really enjoyed this one

Hi Mr. George! My name is Kenzy. I'm from Taiwan and I love watching your dog-training video. I am currently a college student in my forth year and I would like to translate your dog-training video into Chinese so that people here in Taiwan can get to know more about dog-training and you of course! But this would be my first time doing all this, thus I would like to confirm with you to get your permission. Let me know if you have any kind of concern or request. I will definitely reply as soon as possible and hopefully we can start making your dog-training video popular in Taiwan! Best Regards, Kenzy

I just got my copy of your book! It's such a good read! I'm sure I'll be reading it multiple times between now and October when I get my pup and thereafter once she's home!

This was one of your stronger episodes for me. Mainly because it showed a progression of training the puppy. It was good for me to watch how many times you had to redirect Ollie to get him from getting on the chair. Your videos are incredibly helpful. I appreciate your passion, time, and commitment.

My fiancé and I are due to get our Airedale puppy in July and these videos are SO incredibly helpful. We cannot thank you enough for your amazing work and for posting such helpful videos for new dog owners!! Love from Maine :)

Ollie is so adorable!!! I miss Jacob though, he's such a sweetheart and it was so good to see a happy rescued pitbull perform so well

Hello Zak, do you have any videos or advice on how to teach your puppy or adult dog to not pick up or eat things that they find during walks outside? I have an 8-months old Shiba and she still loves to investigate things that she finds interesting with her mouth. I've taught her the "Drop it!" command but it's still something we're struggling with because she does it so often. I have to keep an eye on her constantly. I would much rather treat the problem at its source and prevent her from picking up things from the ground in the first place. Sometimes dog and cat haters will lay out poison around where I live and I want to protect her from that. Love your training methods and videos, keep up the good work!

Thank u SO MUCH Zac George for making this video. I'm getting a puppy soon and I've been waiting for this vid, thx again

this guy Zack prepares awesome videos every other day hats off

Our Cockapoo pup will come home the last week of August. I have your book and I’m watching all your RU-vid videos! I appreciate your positive reward based teaching philosophy!! Thanks!🐶

Great tip! I like that idea of placing treats around the house! Thank you, Zak!

Knowledge and delivery in this channel is the definition of excellence. Zak: At what age can I start training my puppy?

Thanks Zak for the advice. We are getting a Yellow Lab Puppy in 2 weeks in London, England where we live! Keep going with the great videos.

Zak, one thing your missing in your videos is a recap at the end. Can you display the important things in a list, as you have so many good things I need to remember that I forget them by the end of the video. This would really help. The leverage of behavioral techniques comes across strong and very interesting to watch - and can also be used in how humans learn, like wages as treats and currency. It really makes you think how the dog is thinking. Request : please add recap lists...

Gorgeous pup 😍😍😍😍and another excellent video Zak!!

Thank you very much Zak I've watched every video that you upload and now my 3 months Kangal type dog does what I want from her. Thaaaaaank you agaiiiin :)))))

I love how he talks with his hands so Ollie follows his hand with the treat in it

Thanks to you, I'm now more confident with getting a puppy. My dad to! Now we are getting a Cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy!!

Hey Zak . Quick question, why don't you ever train aggressive dogs? It's the #1 reason why dogs are put down in the USA, dog bites / aggression/ ect. I find your videos helpful...but I'm puzzled why you won't ever work with an aggressive dog? Is it because positive training is not effective on these dogs ? I'm honestly looking for helpful answers. Thanks

THAT PUPPY IS SO ADORABLE

Love this Guy, His dogs and his teachings!

Can you please do more training videos with Maltese? Thanks!

Loving your videos, really helping with my new pup 😊

1:18 for build-in adblock

Thank you so much for helping my prepare for my first ever dog. It's gonna be a cavalier king charles spaniel and i really hope he'll love his new home. Really tho, thank you.

I watch these videos both for the training education and because Zak is hilarious

Roll over is look sooo cute! I think I will teach one of my dogs that. Thanks for the great tips Zak!:)

Aww that puppy is so cute😀😇

i got my puppy and he learnt sit in 4 days that i had him and i reduced the treats and i trained him about 6 mins then the same thing with taking treats gently and lay down ive had him 9 days now and im 11 and this is MY FIRST DOG but my parents had a gsd cross lab he died 4 yrs ago

How do you balance the ideal amount of training sessions with not giving your dog too many treats? How many is the max per day?

I understand the primary and secondary sessions, but at what point can you train your dog to do things without treats needing to be involved? How/when can you tell them to sit, get down, etc. without having to reward them for it, but just expect them to do that? Also, how do you teach your dog/get him to behave in moments when you don't have food available, say if you're on a walk or something and didn't bring anything with you?

Can you make a video of how to stop / prevent food guarding?

How do you "hide" the treats so well? Ollie was sniffing the treat but you did not expose it until the right time...sure practice on your part too, but how big of a piece to start? Thanks for your videos and if you have time to answer this question :)

Hey Zak, do you have any videos that show how to teach a dog to "ask first"? We have a pup that we use to let jump on the couch whenever he wants but now we would like him to ask for permission (i.e. Sit/lay down ) before hopping up on the furniture . TIA

Thanks for your help - I tried to get down on the floor but it's the getting up again that's a challenge LOL. We have had our pup for about 2 weeks now and he seems to be responding well - it helps that he's not a little guy so he has no trouble looking up at me when asked.

I’m getting a puppy soon so thanks for this video

thank you sooooo much for making these vidios i just got a puppy and you have been our number one sorce so thank you so much and you also helped train my sisters dog so you have nooooo idea how much you have helped my family

Hi, please do a video on stopping nipping :) And thanks for your great book and videos!

Can you do a video on how to a keep dog out of the trash?!

Please please zac make a new video about potty training in a certain spot please 😭

My pup is turning 7 months soon and we're having some problems with his prey drive. If we are outside we can't run without him chasing us and biting our ankles. He's very stubborn and when he is in this mindset he does not listen to anything we say. Even when we stop moving he will still circle us and try to bite us. Sometimes he'll even do this when we aren't even running. He also tries to bite at bicycle tires and we can't get him to stop. He doesn't have any herding breeds so we aren't sure why he is so like this. Another thing we are having SO MUCH TROUBLE with is his recalls. I know you just did a video on it, but our circumstances are a little bit different. We live out in the country with 18 acres of property and we don't have any fenced in areas. We can get him to come if he's just sniffing something or walking around, but if he has something super distracting like a stick he will not come and he will run away from us if we approach him. This makes it very hard to take him places like our grandmothers house because she lives beside a quiet road with no fenced in yard and she has a dog too. I don't like to take him off leash there because he's unreliable and if he doesn't want to come he won't come. My family teases me for being overprotective about him and say that he's "just a dog" but I'm so paranoid about him running off and/or getting hit by a car. He's not scared of them at all and he will walk right in front of a moving vehicle and only slowly walk away when it gets close. Please help us!

Zak you should do a video with an Australian shepherd

Hey Zak, you mentioned getting a dog to mellow out with you when you're watching TV - could you maybe make a video about that? I'm fine having the dog on the couch or the bed with me as long as he'll sit still, but he wants to walk all over/chew everything when he gets up. Help!

great video zak! always so informative

Can you make a video on how I could make my dog to stay in the yard? We dont have a fence.

this is a good guy

I like your channel Zak it is very Good dog+ training+revolution

Love that ur making more videos keep it up. Umm I was planning on buying ur book. Where can I get it?

When I'm training my dog will it still work if I'm not able to be on the floor with him say I'm disabled and can't get down can I still do the same training techniques

Your videos are so good! I can't stop waching

do a dog training tag video

For Lily (1 1/2 year old golden) I try to always get at least 30 minutes of exercise/training everyday. It depends if she wants to play or work for treats. Once a week we try to get out to "real world training" (going to Petco or other dog friendly places. Also, we are starting rally-o Monday any tips?

I have a very smart dog (Bernedoodle) who knows when it's a training session with treats vs real life with no treats. Some things have sunk in but for example, leash walking w/o pulling, is completely treat dependent. She has difficulty being motivated to pair the verbal command without the treat. Would love to see you address this in training approaches.

'Is that how you bark?'

How do you tell if your puppy loves a treat and not just likes it?

how do I make my dog stop chewing the leash

I REALLY need help with something. So I have a 3 month old husky puppy. He listens to EVERYTHING and I've taught him a lot of things so far. He's so good and he's so obedient. He never leaves my side when we go out which I love. I took him to the beach the other day and he wouldn't go have fun in the water with the other dogs. He was okay with them and would play with them when they'd come up to him but always came back and sat between my legs. He would only swim if I went in the water with him, so I would go in, swim around and he would follow. How do I get him to just go and have fun without me?

hii Zak, I need some help :s i'm currently training the neighbor's dog (about 3-4 times a week). Shes a 4 and a half year old mutt, and a while back she had a bad encounter with another dog during a walk. now she associated everything (from the word walk to her leash and harness) with going on walks and she's terrified. she will crown up under a bench, and if very rarely we get her a few steps out of the door, she completely freezes. she ignores everything from great treats to toys to being the goofiest i can be, she just doesn't want anything but to go back.i do play fetch and tug of war with her in the garden, but even so shes getting pretty fat. How do i solve this problem?

Greetings from Mexico, I just rescued my dog Merlina, she's about 2 years old, and with my previous dogs I hired a trainer, but with her I want to do it myself as she's really shy and untrusting. But I was wondering where to start her training, should I focus on her listening skills first? Or should I do some leash training? And where to build up?

Do you have any videos where you can teach your dog to put away his/her toys when asked?

I’ve Got 22 Dogs. And boy are they a lot of work! So one of em is named lucky. Mid every year she gets 5 puppy’s. So now I’m training two of em. One is a male named Bruno and a female Named Icel. So I was teaching Paw but they don’t get it. So I went about a different way. I show them a treat and close my hand then they start biting. Then they paw my hand and I open it for them so that’s what I did! XD

Hello Zak, Can you make a video of how to train a Chihuahua?

Hey zak... You do awsome videos

Your dog is so cute

Zak,can you show us how to train hunting dogs to be calm whit animals.Thanks

when should I stop training and teaching my dog? or must I do it for the rest of her life?

How do you control the environment when you have cats in the house? My dog struggles to listen when the cats are around, but they're inside cats, and I can't always remove them from the situation because they're inside cats. One of our cats likes to provoke him, which is especially unhelpful when trying to keep his attention for training. What would you recommend?

Who doesn’t have a dog, but likes learning

Hey Zak, your videos have helped me a lot with my dog, but he's currently 9 months old and the older he gets the more anxious he is becoming (I do understand that his breed is known for being nervous since he's a Belgian Shepherd). He has been in socialization classes since he was 3 months and we've done everything to get him comfortable in parks, however the moment you put a leash on him he becomes super anxious and starts barking and really starts feeling like he's contained or stuck. Do you have any videos to address this or any tips? Thanks.

I love your videos. I don't even have a dog!

I am having a problem when walking Lilo, every time he sees another dog he gets excited and starts jumping and hard to handle. I tell him to lay down, which he listen and lays down for a minute or two before he starts jumping in the air and he really wants to play. What is your recommendation in teaching him not to do it anymore? How can I teach us more control over our behavior when seeing other dogs.

Plz make more videos on Alaskan Klee Kai the breed themselves because I need help

Hi. I have a one and a half month old labrador puppy. I taught him to sit by offering him some treats. But the problem is he only listen to me to sit if I'm offering him treats. Otherwise he just don't listen to me. And also please tell how to teach him other things at this age. Coz he s very curious about things and bites too much.

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT GIVING YOUR DOG A BATH. I just got a new puppy and she smells a lot. I gave her a bath but she still smells. :( What should I do?

Hi I rescued a husky tha my neighbor was going to put down she only 3 years old. She listen to me some time can u give me tip on how to make her listen more and how can I make her get along with other dogs

I've been training my 9 week old puppy almost every day, but I'm new to this, so I might have been too hard on him, and he is more frustrated and starts biting because of that😅 I don't know how many times in a week i should train him, I know that it should be less then 10 minutes now.

Hi! I've been trying to teach a six year old german shepherd to roll over but she can't get focus and sort of get's lost and starts lucking for a treat elsewhere. What can I do to train her ?

My corgi puppy did really well with down at first but now she is struggling with it. What can I do to help her out?

hey s can you make a vdo on how to teach command attack

How do I get my 3 month old puppy to stop biting?

I wanted to ask, other than walking, how else could I exercise my dog? sometimes it gets 100 degrees at 7am for 5+ days in a row. My dog goes nuts if he doesn't walk.

What if you teach your dog but they don't care unless there's treats involved. Like he doesn't get off the couch unless you give him a treat. Also how do you teach a dog wrong from right?

We're getting a husky next week! 👍

I have a puppy he is stubborn and I have problems with training he does not listen to me what should I do ? Please help
