Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ru-vid.comUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
Yeah my puli puppy starts jumping, rolling, biting the leash and other things when I don't go the same way as he wants to to the point where it's harmfull to go on a walk with him so I am really struggling rn and this didn't help much since that dog behaved almost perfectly. My puppy doesn't usually care about the treats or games with him so he is hard to train since you can't really motivate him.
@@viktorhalaj3029 what I do for my pup is I keep her on her harness without a leash during the day and night as much as I can and the best advice I have for what u said ur pup does is to jus sit there that’s what I do for my pup and she’s getting used to it
@@BtAmiri thanks man. I don't have a harness for him at the moment and I have been thinking about buying it but I just wasn't sure whether it's wort it. 3 days ago I tried to put him on a leash and it was a disaster. He took the leash into his mouth and started to play tug of war with it. I don't know what to do Tbh but I will keep looking for the right technique.
I became a first time puppy owner yesterday, and I appreciate your videos. I have been working on sit with treats, but now he has caught on and just always sits and waits for treats. I tried taking him for a walk but we get outside and he just sits and stares at me, I offer treats to try and motivate him and he just stares at me lol. 11 week old standard poodle.
I've been using your training technique for my new puppy he's 5 1/2 months now and he's probably the most well behaved and mellow puppy I've ever had. I'm hoping to be able to get him PAT tested soon so he can be my service dog. Thanks for sharing what you do Zak.
I would strongly recommend proper training for your dog. TThink you are implementing efficient and dog friendly approaches?See how to train your dog the right way ==> twitter.com/0b8544690bd9044e3/status/822770265151053824
My 11 week old lab responded amazingly to this method. First time on the leash and it went great. Thank you! Also redirecting his attention with a treat works great!
This is good to know! I pick up my puppy in 2 days ! So I'm finding your videos super helpful! edit: puppy passed away at 6months old, got a new one and he’s incredible ♥️🥺
yes this happeneds with my dog too. my dog will bite the leash, and not follow my footsteps while on the leash (hes 7 weeks old so that explains it), and he will lay down at random moments.
@@CHANCEFOR27 yes, he is now a few months old and he was gotten very big and once they get bigger they get more mature as well, so when walking them, if you start to steer them where you want them to go and they go, then give your dog a treat so they know that following where you want to go is a good thing for them to do.
I without much hope tried your training for drop it or let go and within two days my 4 month old corgi had it down. Now i am starting leach training. i thought i could do that one myself and turns out i should probably do it your way. Thanks for doing what you do including spreading knowledge about dog daddy and the harm he causes in his techniques. please keep doing what you do
I have been walking Aspen, 10 weeks,twice a day and have been using treats to get her to walk down the road. It worked great and we had a few walks where I only gave her 3 treats and she walked great the whole walk!!! Now... the last couple walks she is sitting and refusing to walk..She figured it out and just wants her treats for just sitting and not walking lol!!!! It blows my mind how smart she is!!!!🤣🤣🤣Any advice how to move her passed this hurdle and moving forward again?
Your videos saved me and my dog... my family got a dog and rapidly i felt like the dog wasn't getting the attention she deserved resulting in bad habits. I remember earing my parents scream NO! Or getting more angry and i knew that didn t teach my dog anything. So i took over her training and now she loves me soo much it s like she knows i wanted change for the better. It also rocks that gettin angry at them dosent do anything and encouragement, patience & calm almost unleashes her potential. To encourage you i purchased both your books !
When I try to walk my puppy he just sits there and tries to eat his leash. He’s 5 months. He’s getting used to the harness we have tho he’s completely fine in it. Love your vids.. they’re so helpful..! x
His videos really help me a lot my dog knows so many tricks already from reading his books and doing everything that he says to do in his videos he’s literally a superhero about dogs 🐕🐩🐶
Love your videos and training philosophy. I think you do a great job of mixing in your sponsor plugs, too! Thank you for the education. We have a 12-week lab and it’s been quite the journey! Thanks for the help!
I'm so glad I found Zak Georges dog training videos. My compliments on all fronts. Good production values. Clear concise information. Zak feels like he is in tune with what a new puppy owner is thinking. He anticipates the questions and clarifies his teaching points. You are in fact only the second channel I ever subscribed to. No reason to think you would ever read this comment, but thank you Zak.
Zac, I just saw your videos yesterday and absolutely LOVE them. I cannot stop watching them. We have a new Golden Retriever puppy and I am so excited to start off the right way on how to train her. Thank you for providing such great training videos!
You're such an amazing dog trainer,I'm watching from Kenya,Africa .I'm planning to own a new pup in two months time and I've learnt a loooottt.Thank you so much.
Hey Zak! Been watching you for a month now for getting ready for my puppy. Read your book a week ago. Can you actually state in your videos how long it took you to teach the new concepts for that video to the dog?? It would be a nice indicator for us to see if we are on the right track.
I used your training methods for my Collie whos now six, hes an excellent walker on his leash. Now i jave two collie puppies, one is deaf. I'm excited to use your methods with them!
My puppy is about 4 months old, and he knows many tricks, but he doesn't like to walk on a leash. He stops walking and sits down. He's a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix, and I hope to eventually get him therapy certified. How can I encourage him to walk on the leash and not just sit down every few steps?
Just Me you should be more excited and encourage him by his fav treat or by petting him and calling his name, you should watch his videos about coming when called!
Just Me Hold a treat in front of him to where he can smell it but not grab it and walk forward a few feet and reward him. Keep doing this until he keeps on walking.
Amazing video! Have been waiting for this one a long time coming! One question: how do you handle a puppy that swallows everything during it's first walks?
My puppy will not pay attention when I'm trying to teach her simple things such as "sit". All she cares about is the treat in my hand. Any tips/suggestions?
Katie, you could try using your hand to put a little pressure on her bum until she sits, verbally say sit and give treat when her bum is on the ground. She should start getting the hang of it
katie show the treat and close your hand while moving your hand towards their neck. Open and close your hand so the puppy is forced to sit and use it’s paw. Once it sits and paws your hand, praise and give the treat.
Wow, you are so awesome with dogs ! I've only watched a few of your videos and as a new dog owner, I'll be visiting your content frequently. Thank you so much!
I’ve been eating up your videos!! Going to be bringing home a beautiful baby golden soon! Thanks for all the pointers and for teaching a positive way alternative to shock collars tugging and yelling!
Hi !! So how did it go ?? My puppy (that i've had for a pretty long time now) is also 4 months old but i've never taken him on a walk yet because i'm waiting for him yo be fully vaccinated. I wanna start training him to walk on leash in the garden but i'm not sure how to do that 😅
I used to use Cesar Milan's style of training with tugging on the leash to get my puppy's attention--this was very effective however, it is heart breaking and embarrassing to hear my dog choke with quick tugs on the leash when she gets super excited/agitated about something. I have been watching your videos for years now and have adapted your style of training for my now, adult dog--a lot of my friends and pet owners we meet on our walks become fond of my dog, especially with the different tricks I taught her using/building on what you showcase on your previous videos. My family is preparing for a second puppy and I find myself rewatching your puppy-related videos to start off correctly. Please continue to make excellent videos about dog/puppy training. It's very inspiring for all dog owners, I'm sure.
oh man what a cute puppy! I've been thinking about getting a rescue dog for a while now, the problem is that I'm 18 and most rescues around me won't let me get one until I'm 22- 25. That's pretty understandable though
I’m getting a a puppy soon, your training videos are wonderful! Your enthusiasm paired with positive behavior modification teaching is the way to go, thank you😊
I'm here adding to my training knowledge tree because in 3 wks I'm going to bring home the love of my life. An infant German rott puppy. I've been waiting for him since he was a sparkle in his daddy's eye! I put a deposit down when his momma was cooking him up almost 4 months ago, It's finally almost time!!! He'll be my first rott puppy! I always adopted adult problem child rotts, this time I get to lay down original training instead of undoing someone else's, or lack thereof. I'm SOOOO excited!!!
We also have a 5,5 month old puppy, she has been with us a month. She’s a real bright dog and eager to wanna make us happy by doing what we want her to do. I have taken the 30 days free classes You give, Zak and I like them really much. But I can’t say I give response very well but we making progress and that what we want. Out youngest daughter are studying dog behaviour, and get good skills for being able to be a dogtrainer in the future. She is between what You say High School and College. (16 years old) Anyway she Will teach her a lot too. I do share Your way of learning skills to the dog and You have a good way of showing and explaining. I love that
Thank you! I'm taking my mom's six month old puppy to Home Depot tomorrow to work on leash training, it's a bit too cold in Utah for the park, and I feel a bit more prepared!
When I walk my puppy (11 weeks) every single person on the street comes up for an introduction. Unfortunately the "real walk" did not include that. It's good for him and for the people to have some time together, but that's a major distraction not shown. My puppy literally just bit my hand and drew blood while feeding him tiny treat #8 while leash training on this method. Also, the treat-training ends up being a meal, and that makes potty training harder. I don't think these methods are realistic. What advice do you have for a person doing this method who hasn't slept properly in three weeks?
Our first dog is Australian Yorkie given to us. Well behaved and discipline. But this second one, Son surprises the Family a 3 months old border collie, mastiff and german shepherd. Thanks for all videos. You help me a lot here.
He couldn’t do that.He only trains pets and works away from dogs being aggressive. You couldn’t do personal protection training with his style of training anyways. Balanced training is pretty much the best way to go for protection dog training. You reward the good and correct the bad.For example the “bad” could be that the dog isn’t letting go of the intruder when and if authorities show up. Look at the famous pit bull “Hulk” and the family’s RU-vid channel or find them on BarcroftTv RU-vid , these people know exactly what they’re doing.
It isn't in this video but... Thanks for the training tutorials! I just got a puppy less than a week ago and now she already knows sit, lie down, and paw! So happy 🐶🐕
My current dog started leash training at 3 1/2 weeks. I use a standard collar and my dogs have that leash on them at all times they are not asleep in their crates as puppies. They get used to it and then it is all about building a bond with them and rewarding them so that they will listen to your training.
This is great! I just adopted a Black Lab puppy from the Humane Society near me and she doesn't walk on the leash. Your advice will make it easier for me to work with her! Thanks so much!
Try walking her in a semi busy area. She'll feel more inclined to follow you. It also doesn't hurt to slightly tug. Also be the leader and don't wait for them to move. Make as if you walking away even if you've reached the end of the leash. You're puppy will follow you.
Casting is a part of our process. So we have a number of things that we do, including working with rescues shelters and everyday people to make sure we feature a variety of differnt dogs with different personalities, traits and ages.
Would it be possible to have you discuss training an adopted dog, we just adopted a pitbull puppy from an adoption agency, we have two chihuahuas, looking to train to A. leave the Chi's alone, he wants to constantly instigate play and B. Northeast weather is 5 degrees right now, how to train outside when dog and I are both very cold.
I am gonna get a lab pup in the next 3 days and it is my 1st pup . Your videos are helping me a lot . Your videos are super interesting and very helpful
I'm getting a puppy in June, after school is over on my two month break. My Mom and I decided it would be a great idea to do that so I can have time to train it, take care of it, and other things. We are also saving up money, I made a small box safe from a video, until then, we're gonna use the money to buy its toys and treats/food. After that, I have been thinking of getting a border collie puppy, is a border collie good for a first dog owner? I have a huge yard also have a lot of space in my house so it can move and walk without being squished in a tiny place. I have patience, I would actually dedicate my time to the pup, so I can train it to do tricks, potty train it, and etc. But the main question if you have not noticed it, is a border collie a good breed for a first time dog owner? Please leave in your comment/reply below, I want. To know before it's too late! Thank you for taking your time to read this
Moon Does Hey there! I'm not Zak but I hope this helps! One of the most intelligent of all breeds, the Border Collie is also one of the most challenging to live with. Their superior intellect, combined with his intensity and obsessive zeal for working, are his most impressive features -- and also the ones that make him unsuitable for most homes. But since you declare you have a giant yard, you might be good to go about living environment. This sharp-eyed, quick-thinking, fanatical workaholic has been bred for endless miles of sprinting and stop-and-go action. If it isn't possible for him to work livestock, you must substitute several LONG (45 minute) walks per day, plus off-leash romps in a safe area, fetching balls or frisbee, and weekly or twice-a-week advanced obedience classes or agility classes. Without physical and mental stimulation, Border Collies become hyperactive and will drive you up the wall with obsessive and destructive behaviors as they seek creative outlets for their physical and mental energy. High intelligence does mean they learn very quickly - but that includes learning how to do anything they set their minds to. They are master escape artists who can virtually pick the lock on your gate. Trying to train a Border Collie, in fact, can be frustrating, because they are constantly thinking, analyzing, and reacting to every tiny movement you make. They can be a bit high-strung and oversensitive to sound and touch. Border Collies are passionate gatherers of cars, bikes, joggers, cats, other dogs, livestock, deer, and running children -- poking, pushing, and nipping if the pursued person or animal or object doesn't cooperate. You must stay one step ahead of this challenging breed, and most households are simply not up to the task. If you want a dog who... Is medium-sized and natural-looking Has a handsome, easy-groom coat Is very athletic and thrives on TONS of exercise and training Is exceptionally intelligent and versatile -- when well-trained, can learn and do almost anything Will play fetch for hours and hours A Border Collie may be right for you. If you don't want to deal with... An intense athlete who can drive you up the wall with obsessive and destructive behaviors if you don't provide lots of exercise and creative outlets for his energy Compulsive chasing and nipping at things that move: children, joggers, other animals, bikes, cars "Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much Shyness when not socialized enough Shedding A Border Collie may not be right for you. BUT, if you want avoid or minimize some negative traits, You can choose the right breeder and the right puppy. Training your dog to respect you, and Taking care of your pets health. If I was considering a Border Collie, I would be most concerned about... Providing enough exercise and mental stimulation. Border Collies MUST have frequent opportunities to vent their energy and to use their busy minds to do interesting things. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored -- which they usually express by barking and destructive chewing. Bored Border Collies are famous for chewing through drywall, ripping the stuffing out of sofas, and turning your yard into a moonscape of giant craters. If you simply want a pet for your family, and don't have the time or inclination to take your dog out for long excursions several times a day, or to get involved in herding, or agility (obstacle course), or advanced obedience, or tracking, or a similar canine activity, I do not recommend this breed. Border Collies were never intended to be simply household pets. Their working behaviors (chasing, nipping, poking, barking) are inappropriate in a normal household setting. Trying to suppress these "hardwired" behaviors, without providing alternate outlets for their high energy level, is virtually impossible. Compulsive chasing and stalking. Most Border Collies are obsessed with stalking and chasing anything that moves -- children, joggers, bicycles, cars, cats, birds. Some Border Collies, unfortunately, go further than that and will seize and kill small running animals, including cats. Separation anxiety. More than most other breeds, Border Collies need a great deal of companionship and do not like being left alone for more than a few hours. They become anxious, which they express by chewing and barking. Providing enough socialization. Standoffish by nature, Border Collies need extensive exposure to people and to unusual sights and sounds. Otherwise their natural caution can become shyness. Training problems. Border Collies are one of smartest and most capable breeds in the world. Many are eager to please and learn very, very quickly. But many Border Collies are very difficult for the average person to train. Some are manipulative, i.e. using their intelligence to get YOU to do what they want you to do. Some are willful and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things. Many are so sensitive that if you correct them too harshly, they may freeze and "shut down." Finally, many Border Collies are frustrating to train because they're hyper-reactive to the slightest sound or movement you make. They are "anticipators" who keep trying to guess what comes next. They will sit, or lie down, or run toward you, or run away from you, when you simply open your mouth or lift your hand. It often takes an experienced trainer to bring out the inherent genius in this breed. "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Border Collie Training Page discusses the program you need. Fence security. Quite a few Border Collies are escape artists. With such dogs, fences should be high, with wire sunk into the ground along the fence line to thwart digging. Gates should be extra-secure, as clever Border Collies can virtually pick locks. Frankly, most Border Collies are "too much dog" for the average household. This is a serious working dog with a complex personality. Very few homes can provide what this breed really needs to be satisfied and well-behaved. I hope this helped! If you need more advise, just ask! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
Ralf The Vlogger This was very helpful, since the dog breed itself is VERY hyper, which was why I decided to get the pup after school is over, meaning I can give more time to him or her, especially training not to chew up everything while I'm gone. But my grandmother is at home, while my parents are at work, I and my sister is at school. My grandmother does a lot of things while we are gone, which was I why I wanted to train it to be calm but playful, if I had not, my grandmother would probably be bitten and have to clean up its mess. Before I can go to my bus stop, I'm thinking of going over the thing that I trained him or her, making sure it didn't forget. Though,mi really do appreciate you replying back in such a detailed paragraphs
Lily hi, just wondered if you ever. got a puppy, & what kind? I've owned dogs ALL my life, and this is my 2nd border collie. Zak's videos have made all the difference! So when I saw ur comment, my curiosity over-rode my shyness; I had to ask! Lol.
My puppy went berserk the second he felt the leash. He began yelping and fighting against it. I gave him all the slack, gave him plenty of comforting, gave him treats, and did not yank on his leash. But he finally just flopped down on the grass and refused to move. Any thoughts?
@@deblankford4416 Baby steps, put the leash on the puppy in the house, a few hours at a time, and let them get used to the leash. It takes a bit for them to adjust to wearing a collar, then harness & leash. They'll bite at it at first, that's okay, it will slowly diminish. Once they are used to just wearing it, teaching the walking should be a bit easier, then the treating should work better too.
I long temporarily inherited his siblings. I have 5 8 week olds. My 1 is a little ahead on training. God help me. They poop all in their crates. Not sure how I will even leash train them
There is another video of this same dog fully grown that has a problem jumping up to kitchen counters/table tops to get food. This makes sense watching the video after that one because as a puppy he fed him on the counter as well as gave him treats.
Guys my pit has been pulling since he was a puppy. I did a training method for 10 minutes and he walks fine now. All you have to do is turn around every time the dog starts pulling and reward them when they are walking fine.
