My Puppy’s First Days of Training: Stop Biting, Crate Training, Come, Socialization: EP 4 

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!

I just wanted to tell the you are an absolute angel for posting the process on here. It has been a HUGE help with training my 5 month old pit bull. Thank you so much! You are doing gods work.

Thanks 4 the tips to train my siblings

I love this so much! The best series ever!!!

How often do you feed Inertia & how much at each feeding?

For how long do you keep the puppy on the leash inside the house? Weeks? Months? Or is it only during training sessions?

Will the training work on a 3 year old adopted dog?

Where did you buy Inertia's puppy bows??

That thumbnail looks like a possum. Are you sure she’s not a possum? 😉 Cause puppy teeth are like possum teeth - super sharp!

Still struggling with my Akita (at 6 months old, got him when he was 4months). Biting and jumping scares people. I hate it that he tries to jump on people on the street! People he doesn't know... scares them!

How about sleeping at night?! Ive heard many stuff when it comes to puppy waking up almost every two hours for potty break. What do you do? Do use a blanket to cover the ctate to sign off as its night time? Do you take the puppy out potty and put back in the crate immediately, no courage of play or anything?

My puppy doesn’t like collars she get scared of them how do I teach her to enjoy having a collar and leash

My 9 week puppy doesn't even let me pet her its all razor sharp biting, any advice? We exercise her and let her play all of the time

I heard that you shouldn’t give your puppy a lot of treats and to keep their diet fairly consistent so they don’t learn to expect high reward food

This is THE BEST series ever. Why? REAL LIFE. Not just quick video clips but real time training with a real new puppy. It’s like reality tv on puppy training. I love those moments when it’s just not perfect and you just gotta go with the flow. When I watch edited videos where it seems like the puppy listened in 5 mins it just doesn’t seem realistic. THIS is just awesome to watch!! Thank you!!! 😀❤️👍🙌

Love that you don’t edit out the ‘oops’ moments ... like the peeing on the carpet and knocking the treats all over.

When my boy was a puppy I called him my little land shark 😂

"YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE" you have no idea how much i love this channel

Why does this guy have 2 mil subs He deserves like 4mil

I hope you will still upload videos of when she hits the teenage period, because it can be a nightmare, but your videos have helped me so much with my puppy

Your videos seem to get better and better and she seems to be getting cuter and cuter.

I really like how you explain why you are doing everything. You're such a good teacher. And Inertia is absolutely adorable!

Okay Zach got shoe game I see him low key flexing on us in the thumb nail😂

I got my puppy a month ago and she’s a lovable bundle for sure! I can totally relate that puppy’s are such a handful! For me biting is a big problem, so with watching your videos it helped a lot thanks!! Edit: wow thanks for the likes 😄

The Summary Girl: Ep.3 Redirection: If your puppy is biting on something they shouldn't, like a carpet, redirect them with a treat or toy which they can chew on. This is also positive reinforcement for leaving what they shouldn't be biting. If they are chewing or your clothing, it is there way of saying "I'm bored and I want to interact with you." So take it as an opportunity to work on their fundamentals (e.g. look at me, sit) with a few simple and fun tricks (e.g. roll over, play dead, spin). Don't pull you puppy away from something they are chewing on. Teach them to leave it voluntarily. Training: Controlling your puppy's environment by keeping them on a leash and monitoring them during the early stages of communication building is essential. This will allow you to resolve unwanted behaviour and prevent it from occurring. Passive training can be your puppy just being calm and you spotting that and rewarding this. This will reinforce this behaviour. Tip- Try not to repeat commands often, instead wait it out and be exciting to your puppy so they are inclined to listen. Crate Training - Hold a treat in your hand and place it in the crate. When the put all there feet in, click and reward them. If they are feeling unsure, reward them for putting in a foot or two, until they feel confident to put all there paws in. Continue rewarding them for standing in the crate. Next you can tell them to lie down and reward them for it. Crate training can also be an opportunity to teach them to "relax" or "settle". Simply give them the command and click periodically while rewarding them with treats (or their lunch). You can also give them pets. Greet Politely - When working on polite greeting first access there default behaviour around a person. Be prepared to redirect them from any lace biting or unwanted behaviour. However, make sure your reward them for siting calmly and being pet. This also acts as a distraction to unwanted behaviour and shows them that the right way is even better then the wrong way. If they are persistent in biting the cuff of the person's jeans or shoes have them step back and redirect your puppy with a treat. Only reward them with a treat once they focus on you instead of the unwanted behaviour. Be mindful that puppies need a lot of human socialisation at a young age so try not to be strict with there manners. At this age any positive interaction is good. Socialisation: Reinforce positive interactions with people as much as possible, and try to introduce them to different kinds of people so they are comfortable around everyone. Free Play: It is essential for your puppy to learn and play by themselves.Hope this helps :) Make sure to sub to Zak George and buy his books for more info on Dog Training.

Will you be talking more about potty training in future vids. That's what I worry about the most

Omg he has 2M subscribers! I am so grateful and your puppy is so cute I am always active and you’re the best trainer on RU-vid I love you you are incredible and you helped me with all my puppies issues😊❤️

"What people say after 5 days of having a puppy" 😆 so accurate!

Clinging to these like a lifeline!! My 8 week German Shep mix can be so sweet one moment and a complete biting terror the next. I may not have toes by time the next episode is posted!! ; _ ; And now he's gotten to where he snaps at treats so forcefully that I'm super timid when trying to train with him. HEEEELP.

“Inertia, you 100% have to stop chewing on my shoelace.” THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SERIES

How to teach your dog to speak . Pls have a session on that

Can hardly wait for these! Keep up the amazing work!

I enjoy your your videos. Editing and technical aspects are great as well. And thank you so much for motivating me too. Your enthusiasm has led me to start sharing my 25+ years of dog training on this platform as well. Keep up the great work!!

you deserve more subs, i got a puppy at 2 weeks old, the people whom i got her from said she was being rejected by her mom, i had to bottle feed her and by 4 weeks she basically refused her bottle and started puppy food. now at 6 weeks she now is healthy and i started training with your methods. she learned sit in five mins and she is now learning other puppy stuff and tricks. she is a pittbull terrier/lab mix. she went from sleeping alot, to biting/teething alot, to now a obedient sometimes teething on other but toy puppy. thank you

Hi Zak, how much are you feeding her while training? I have a miniature dachshund puppy and struggling to balance the amount of treats and the meal sizes

Congrats 2 MILLION, that's a lot of people and pups you motivated!

How much does it cost to raise a dog monthly including food treats and toys and yep the vet charges ...this will help many cause you want to know this before getting a dog

"I've done it now haven't I" gives me a little confidence knowing even a master like Zak makes mistakes😂

Omg she is sooo cute and this is such a good and convenient series because I’m getting a puppy this Wednesday and I also follow him on Instagram and honestly I recommend it !!! Thank you for the help❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶

My foster puppy and I are loving this series. Some really helpful nuggets of wisdom in every episode. Thanks so much!!

When he said "the bites just getting stronger by the day" i felt that

I got a Border Collie the SAME week you got yours! This series has been amazing. I have been taking all your advice and so far she is an amazing pup! Thank you for your videos.

“You’re not old enough to drive *yet* “ 😂

Have been waiting from December to get my puppy and am totally prepared for my malinois. Been watching your vids since.

Love this “reality” training, with all its highs and lows!! Very comforting to us mere mortals!! And these videos are good and long and detailed, which is very much appreciated. Really your best videos of all time.. thank you!

Are we gonna get a more in depth video on the frisbee training? My 4-month-old Golden will chase it, but doesn't pick it up most of the time and I'm wondering if Inertia had this problem or not.

I have a special recall with my puppy. One of my parents’ cats have a VERY special meow. And my puppy often hears him and sees him, and wants to play, but the cat doesn’t. So I learned to copy the meow, and now if I make that meow he will come 100%. But it sounds pretty weird in social settings XD

Gosh your plugs to your books are so smooth XD

Hi Zak love your new series keep the good work up.PS I'm getting a new puppy so it's really educational

“Why would you want to bite marble?” 😂

"Put down those keys! You're not old enough to drive!" Made my day :D. Love the videos, Zack :).

The way Inertia pounces into her bed just kills me ❤️ and when you can tell that Inertia nailed “settle” ❤️

OMG WHY AM I LATE!!!! ;-;!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME!! ooooooooof....

I tried to access your free class, but it only shows me a blank pop up window. Even on different browsers. Is tehre something im doing wrong?

The best dog trainer i know. If i get a dog i will be buying the books and watching all videos.

I’m getting a little King Charles cavalier this Friday and I’m so glad I’ve got a guide like this to follow 😄

Oh, you got time to play with your dog, but you dont got time to get wrecked in COD, bro? You scared! I'm world class, you, you run fast. Im 3-0 against you now.

Love these tips! I listen to the ads at the beginning as long as I can stand it to support y'all for all these free tips!

I'm absolutely loving the series it's inspiring me and my wife to invest more time in training our own dog.

My dog now likes to fetch. I decided to use treats and it worked. She now plays fetch in a lake :) I guess it depends on the dog.

Love these videos, wish our landlord would allow pets. :( I was wondering how you decided on her name.

Dude your videos are amazing and have calmed my anxiety tremendously

My puppy is 6 months now and at 7mins when she was ignoring him and sniffing the floor i knew she was about to take a leak haha. I had plenty of those moments

I started watching you channel today and I’m addicted Edit: I’m getting a dog this Saturday

So there seems to be a theme here for almost everything, and thats encouraging and rewarding your puppy when they voluntarily do what you want them too. Keypoint being voluntarily

My girl is just over one now and I remember watching all of your other videos religiously to get ahead of her puppy antics. I honestly think the 30 day Pupford course and your RU-vid videos were a godsend for me when I initially had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I recently purchased your 2nd book and I'm so glad I did! I've learnt so much more. 😁🐕

All of these episodes have been so very good. If puppy biting was aggressive behavior, I think my collie would probably be trying to swallow my parents and I up! 😂😂😂

I don't know the breed of my puppy but uhhh he's naughty as in Waking me up every hour in the night I got to teach him to sit tho :> And I think I accidentally potty trained him and his just 2 months and 2 weeks old lol

Marble steps just have the perfect crunch!

I am going to have to binge watch your videos, we are picking up our beagle puppy today😀 Thank you for these very informative videos 😀

I love your videos! I love to see the new milestones she is hitting! She is so cute and smart. I was wondering if you make a video about how to balance a career and a puppy/dog. Keep up the great work.

This is awesome. I love how you clearly state the focused-on themes in the title. That’s really helpful.

You have no idea how much help your videos have been! We just got our griffon puppy a week ago and are doing great because of your help! 💚

I am so hooked on this series! I can't wait for the next one!! Also, when your puppy goes to the bathroom in the house, do you scold them and bring them outside or be fine with it and bring them outside?

You are incredibly smart

Dope sneaker game lol. Just here training my lab. Great videos they are all working!

Loving these videos!! Do the techniques you use go well with training service dog prospects, or should I change anything? Thank you so much, Zak!

No one Zac when he spills the treats: there’s money everywhere!

Can you post them quicker I can’t wait for the next episode I love them

When you said “her you go bye. After five days” I’m rolling because that’s definitely me!!! I’m on day 5

wait so can humans have pupford treats because they are only 2 ingredients?

I am now in love with Inertia! Also, observe Zak's big body language, varied intonation, and constantly happy state; I'm pretty sure HE's at least part dog! :-D

I very love how those flowers are fit on her neck So sweeet I really like doing all these plans for ma puppy

2 MILLION!!! Omg!!!! I’m so happy you hit you and inertia deserve so much more!! 💘

“She’s not facing north, is it magnetic north?” BHAHAHA, you’re killing me Smalls! :)

This is the level of her cuteness ⬇️

Will saying "Yes!" work just as well as the clicker?

Ty I will know how to train my new pup any girl and boy name suggestions?

Love love love these! I just have a few questions. How many minutes do your training sessions last (10mns... half an hour)? And when do you stop training for the day?

yes it it so nice to have a puppy i want 2 golden retrever,2 cats,4 horses

Your series help tide over the constant want for a dog until I can afford to take care of one myself :)

Product endorsements equal income, quit knocking the man for endorsing great products! I am so jealous I can’t make a living playing with dogs. LOL

So glad my catahoula is out of the puppy phase, she would chew everything in sight (the rug, curtains, bedding...lol) if we didn't keep her occupied with training or an edible toy.

I would love it if you would make a daily puppy routine video!

Which breed tell please

This is the last video in this series that I will watch without a dog of my own. I pick up my started chocolate English Labrador on Saturday :)

I wish it was longer

My puppy isn’t as active as inertia was. It makes me worry that she isn’t interested in playing all that much. When she is, she only plays for a few minutes before going back to her bed or sitting . Is there something I can do to keep her focus on playing?

Your such a good dog trainer. Your dog is perfect for you 🐶. I just got a new dog and I’m watching u because your so, so, good at training dogs 🐶
