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 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxK8-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.
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 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_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!
Took one week to potty train my youngest dog 🙌 just stuck to getting him outside every time I thought he might need to go. He’s only had 5 accidents his whole life and he’s 8 months old now. I’m so proud 🥰
U are so lucky 🍀
We’ve been doing the same! Just getting her out has been the best solution, even tho we live on the 4th floor with no elevator 😄
Wow, that's great! It's definitely a good idea to avoid pads and newspaper if you are able to take your dog out quickly and consistently for the first few weeks. What breed is your dog?
Hayley Wargnier ❤️❤️❤️
Hayley Wargnier what breed is he ?
My 2020 goal is to get a heart from zak
Marisetty Shyamaj mission accomplished
He actually reads comments luckily.
Zach’s pixel animations And games yeah sometimes he REPLIES!
Same!
You were really forcing it but I don’t care
Me with my 7 weeks old puppy: I think we got this bud
Me with my now 9 week old puppy: *You fool*
Omg you just read my mind😂 I got my puppy yesterday and she’s so far away from being potty trained 💗
Same
Just got my puppy - having the hardest time potty training! The video is black. Any tips from someone who has had success?!
@@rachelewilken930 my dog's not completely potty trained yet but here's a tip, keep taking them outside literally every 10 minutes and when they pee outside, give them a "good boy" or a treat or just something to tell them that they are doing good, when they pee inside don't give anything just say BAD DOG and don't do anything like giving them treats for the next 5 minutes. for my dog we've been doing this for 2months, he still would pee inside sometimes but its way less.
Same!
@@Primeto my dog doesnt listen 😭
I had a dog growing up that would pee in the bed of whoever gave him a bath... happened literally every time he got a bath.
I feel so validated 😭 potty training is asorbing my life right now and we’ve still got one accident a day
I feel your pain!
I feel you. We have 2-3 accidents per day 🥲
@@Bugglesgoono way
Same! 😢
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m a new puppy owner, and having a VERY hard time with biting and potty training. We have only had our puppy about 2 weeks but she has learned a couple commands thankfully using your videos.
I was completely clueless so I watched a bunch of your videos months before we got her. Now I’m rewatching for things I forgot lol!
I’m getting my puppy tomorrow and I know he’ll be wonderful just like my other pup because I use YOUR videos to train her!
Perfect timing! I'm getting a puppy soon, so this is much needed guidance. Your videos are so helpful!
Thanks Zac, your videos have been so incredibly helpful. I have an 11 week old toy poodle named Henry, we're following your training methods and making great progress. Big up mate!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I just got your books a few days ago and the have really helped me!!!
This is gonna help me a lot for my Labrador pup
I have a basset hound, it’s been difficult to train him. He’s 3 months. Thanks for this video 👍🏻
I've got a 3 month old basset as well! They are tricky for sure
Lol Hounds are hard take it out 1to 2 times a hour if possible remember that they are meant to be outdoor dogs so a dog door would be very beneficial for him
We had no problems potty training our hound (a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen bitch). I think the three things that made the largest difference were:
1. Spending a lot of time outdoors and rewarding her anytime she did her business. We would eat our meals outside and tie her to the table, read books while she slept on a blanket, etc.
2. Restricting her indoor space (she lived in our small-ish kitchen), and making sure every part of that room was valuable to her (playing, training, feeding in every part of the room and placing water, toys or her bed in spots she might be drawn to). This is a lot like the crate+playpen setup only it was easier to also spend time in her space.
3. One of us would stay up very late and the other one would wake up early so that we could take her out during the night and early morning as well. I think we took her out every second hour throughout the night for a week or so, after that we could space her nighttime potty breaks out quite quickly as she started to desire to keep her area clean. We did not leave her alone for extended periods during the day before she was very close to being completely potty trained, and when we both had to go to work we had a dog walker take her out in the middle of the day.
4. We never used puppy pads or newspaper, instead we aimed for never having her go inside the house. Of course she did have a few accidents, which we removed with an enzymatic cleaner and made sure to cover the area with valuable objects. When she was almost potty trained she'd have an accident maybe once a week or once a month for about half a year, we just made sure to clean well and be extra careful about taking her out during the following days, and her accident rate would drop steadily so we knew she was on the right track.
5. As we introduced her to new rooms in the house and took her to new places we were very careful to make sure she had just done her business and we loaded these new areas with value by feeding, playing and training for a short while and the taking her out again.
It was A LOT of work during the first month, but all that dedication quickly payed dividends in that her accident rate dropped very consistently, and compared to puppies of the same age that we met she improved quite quickly as well. Our hound now has a desire to keep all indoor areas clean and at 15 months we feel completely confident she would never soil an indoor space.
@@elisabethunderwood716 Also, NO FREE FEEDING! Make a mealtime/potty break schedule and try to figure out how long it takes for a meal to become a bowel movement (it should be about 12 hours for an older puppy, at only 3 months it might be a bit difficult to tell since he probably has more than two meals a day). Playtime and treat training will also affect their potty schedule.
Since you have a male puppy, be careful he does not start marking indoors. Preventing indoor marking is a bit different to potty training, so that's something to read up on once he starts approaching sexual maturity.
Emma Blomqvist thank you!! This is great to hear. My hound was doing great with potty training he keeps his play pen clean, and barks to go outside for his business, but recently he began to poop on our living room carpet something he never did before. He’s done it every day this week even as I’m watching over him like a hawk. When it happens I pick him up mid poop and take him outside. I think I will try your (5.) introducing him to new rooms slowly. Thanks again 👍🏻🙂🙂
Hey Zak, we just got a 12 week old beagle, I’ve watched many videos re: various training & by far yours have been the most effective. Appreciate your content & approach! 💪💪🙌
I watched the start of this series ... and omg look how gorgeous your dog has turned out, she is stunning 💜
These have helped us so much in training our puppy. Had him sitting, laying down, and knowing his name within a couple days of having him. Still working on potty training but our pup has been excellent with that as well :-)
How's your pup now?
How’s your pup with potty training?
@@jaylani206 fully potty trained! Only took maybe... 4 months. Biggest life saver is just having training treats ready for when they go potty outside and reward right then and there and not to fuss when an accident happens inside (because that's ultimately our fault for not monitoring or taking them out frequently enough)
@@Rachaelbot this helps a lot 😊 I’m getting my guy on the 10th so I want to be as ready as possible! Thank you!
@@jaylani206 awwww! How fun! :D
Hello Zak George, I got a boxer puppy not too long ago and have been watching your videos constantly I subscribed and also wanted to say thank you so much!
Thank you so much For all the help your videos have given me. We just got a puppy and I was so overwhelmed but your videos are easy to follow and with in a week he is doing amazing with sit watch me come in when I call him we still have a long ways to go but is a wonderful start. Thank you so much
I get my puppy in about a week and I’ve been watching so many videos. These have helped so much
Thank you Zak George you’ve help me soooo much!!
thank you Zak for this video ❤️
I really needed it
I've been a dog owner my whole life. All different breeds and I've always done my training personally with all of them to build that bond between the two of us. I have a new puppy that is also a new breed to me. He's a rescue, but I got him early at 4 months old, 2 weeks ago. The breed I'm 95% sure he is is a Dutch Shepherd. He's super smart. However, I was looking for a better way of teaching him boundaries because he wasn't quite picking up on my method. The video i just watched was great! I picked up on everything that you suggested I do. I will be watching more training videos and I've subscribed as well. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! i’m getting a dog this Friday and this came out just in time
I just got an 11 week old heeler shepherd mix, and omg, he's the cutest. He looks like a fluffy blue heeler. 😍
I've downloaded your app and watched hours of videos. Thank you so much for everything you do bc after 1 week he knows leave it, sit, down, come, and we're doing really good with potty training.
I really love your channel and thank youu for all your amazing training tips 😍🤩✨❤️
Oh my goodness inertia is so big. I’ve been watching since the first day you got her to get ready for my dog. Your videos are so helpful.
We got a 7-week-old beagle puppy about a month ago, and we have had a very difficult time with potty training and her biting. So I am about to start binging your videos!
Super helpful! My puppy is almost 4 months old, and we’ve had very few accidents! But, I’m not celebrating just yet, and will be keeping this video in mind if we have a setback 👏🏻
How did you made it?
Early! I love your channel it’s helped me a lot, I’ve been following you even before Inertia but I’ve followed you since you got Inertia too, your videos will help me with my puppy a lot! I subscribed to you!
Hi Zak, I am getting a havanese puppy in a few months and I have watched every one of your videos! ❤️
Fantastic video, im getting a shih zhu in 3 days and this video fixed in alot of gaps for me
Coming from the new kona series: im getting a new puppy in like a month and want to do things right!
You're the best!!!
My Pitbull-German Shepherd puppy is 13 weeks old now. I'm potty training him an alternate way -- I built two exercise pens together with a crate in the front yard. He gets to play in there and have plentiful potty breaks whenever he wants. I work from home in the living room and monitor him thru the window. I can praise him every time I see him go, and it provides much less opportunities for accidents in the house. I've been able to gradually increase his time in the house, monitoring him closely. I prefer to bring him in the house for playtime right after he has gone #1 and #2 for lowest risk of accidents. Then we can play together or he hangs out with a chew stick and learns how we behave in the house. I love your "Settle" training and I incorporate that a lot in my training! I praise and reward him for calm behavior as much as possible.
This is so helpful! Thank you. Thank you!
This is such a good resource!! I’m about to get a pup in October and I’m so nervous about toilet training. 🤞🤞🤞
I am getting my new 2 month old dog this Tuesday and this is so good!
I am very happy that I watch you because when I have experience with dogs I can tell my dad to get me one shortly 😁😁
These Videos have been super helpful! Thank you Mucho Danke!
Thank you! Really great information 👌 and I like how your dad didn't listen to be calm with the puppy 😁
Have a blessed day
I’m getting a new pupper on Saturday I’ve been watching these constantly
I’m getting a dog tomorrow! This is so helpful 😃
I love how the videos are now overviews
This will be helpful because I am getting a 3 month old puppy named Axl I think this vid helped a LOT
Im getting a bichon frise puppy next month and this video will definitely help!
Thank you we just got a chocolate lab who really needed this vid i luv ur vids!
So useful . Thankyou . This channel is awesome👏
Could you tell me a good harness for my border collie I noticed yours wears one a lot
Gonna pick up my golden retriever pup in 3 weeks I'm so excited but a bit nervous though your videos have helped a lot with that. I can't say I feel 100% prepared as he'll be my first dog but I feel like I'm not going in blind thanks to you
Getting my puppy today ! So excited to train him
Keep up the great work
Thank you for this video I potty trained my German Shepherd in 4 weeks. We got him at 6 weeks. I'm so happy he now tells me when he has to go by standing by the door.
Thanks for the video I will teach my puppy
This video is very helpful!! I´m getting a puppy in less than 2 months! Kinda nervous to mess things up with training bc im a first tiem owner! So your videos really help!! :DD
Getting my puppy tomorrow thx for the advice😁
Your videos have been so helpful with my puppy training! My girl is almost 7 months now. Do you have advice for phasing out potty pads? When did you stop using them? I really like having them at night because she still usually goes at least once during the night. I live in an apartment so it's also nice to have them when it's raining and stuff. Do I need to phase them out? I hear a lot of people say that it slows down potty training, but she doesnt really have accidents in the apartment anymore (except when she misses the mat!). I just don't really see a lot of people who continue using the pads after the first few months.
I really needed this. I recently got a new King Charles Cavalier puppy and we can be outside with her for like 10 minutes and she’ll still choose to use the bathroom in the house...
thank you so much for this!
My Cavaoo was not getting it until I hung door bells! It literally took her a day and boom. She's 9 now and such a precious pup ❤
im taking so many notes
I used puppy pads for Charlie, we had all over the living room and certain spots to back door and eventually just at back door, was hard to get Charlie out as really bad winter here in uk. She’s fully trained now but we put puppy pads down at back door when really bad weather as she hates rain. She’s only tiny even at 11months old 👍😊🐶🐾.
Perfect timing, just brought home my Border Collie girl from Kim Gentle Shepherds! Hopefully she is as successful as Super Nova :)
This guy is the best
Best vids ever !!
I got my scottie baby down in about 3 weeks of training. It has been 4 weeks now since she had an accident and knows to go to the door when she needs outside. Starting to give her more freedom, she is just about 16 weeks old now. HANG IN THERE! IT GETS EASIER!!
My dog had puppies and were keeping one, she's already 8 weeks, this video will definitely be helpful .
I’ve found the pup I kept from my litter the most difficult to train. Do to memories and scent from when she was little. She’s 3 now, and has started to pee on the areas she went to as a little one. How did your training go?
This is what I did last year since my collie is just a little younger than Inertia. She went outside about every 20 minutes when she first arrived, and over time the time between potty outings extended. However, late December or very early January is when everything clicked with her and she has had only one accident since then.
our puppy always destroyed the pee pads...so we stopped using them. but it turned out fine and now she is doing really well with doing her business outside :) thanks to your videos and advises :)
Hi Zak! I’ve been a fan since I’ve gotten my very first puppy. Your videos has been a huge help and I am thankful and appreciate your time in creating these helpful content. I have an issue that I’ve been struggling with my puppy. He’s 9mos now and I’d say he’s gotten the potty training down but he still makes accidents. He has the general idea of using his puppy pad. He does at times go to his area where his pad is at but at times he doesn’t even if it’s just like right by his side he goes and does his business. Can you recommend anything that I can help? Thank you again!
Your. Videos are so educational for people who own dogs l✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻😊
I truly enjoy your RUclips. Thank you for your teaching! We got shiba Inu 1 month ago
She is 3 months old and she can pee and poo outside but she doesn’t. We have been trying to train with potty pad in her area. The problem is that she rips off the pad, chewing the pad and pees where she took the pads. Hoping you could give me a advice and guidance !!!!!!! I am new to dog so still lots to learn.
I just got my puppy 2 days ago. He is 8 weeks old and he doesn’t like going outside. I’ve tried to walk him for 30 minutes to an hour right after feeding and he will hold it until he gets inside 😫
My 3 months border collie does the same, last night he just hold it for 3 hours, he is always distracted by noises, people or stuff he finds in the street.
Yeahh same
Sounds like maybe you're taking them to places with too much stimulation. You need to find a quiet place outside where there aren't a lot of distractions for them to go.
The time when they need to go the most is right after waking up, not right after eating. It takes a while to process the food.
@@imnotmike lol...just got a pup. She will pee and poo right before she eats andpee and poo again right after she eats. She will pee immediately after she drinks a bit of water or if she has been playing or sleeping. I have a multi-level home. 😰 I'm certainly going to get more exercise running up and down the stairs with this pooch.
My 4 month old lab does the same thing!!!! He will pee something but not like how he should and I don't think he has ever went poop outside. The second we come in the house he will pee and poop😭 Someone please help!!! I have a crate but I haven't tried it, I don't know much about them, I'm sure he will cry in there. He's so spoiled, he can't climb onto our bed so we have to help him up. I think I'm going to have to start cracking down on a strict schedule. I'm getting so tired of picking up his poo ugh He's growing so fast and the piles are growing even faster lol #Help!!!
you should make a program that shows you each video to watch depending on the puppys age. And a schedule that tells you when to have them take naps be feed. And how much to feed them as they get older.
You can find that in the new Pupford app! Zak's training videos are featured in the app.
I love your videos, they are super helpful and I enjoy your enthusiastic energy. I have a lot to learn and you are helping me with that. Thank you!
Today I came home after having my puppy be alone for the first time for almost 3 hours. I was suprised to see she did not pee or poop inside. As soon as I came home I took her outside for about 10min, but she didn’t do anything, I feel like she’s scared outside, she just wants to go back inside and keeps pulling towards the house. We are back in for about a minute and I hear her peeing! Once I cleaned it and was washing my hands I come back and I smell poop...she pooped at the same spot I just cleaned 😅
Zak, thanks for all these amazing videos, they are tons of help! We have a 17 week old englsih cocker spaniel. she is doing great potty training wise, but she still wakes up twice in the middle of the night to be let outside, usually at around 12-1 and 5-6 am. Did I do something wrong or is it normal for her to still wake up once or twice? I never used the pads in our house, i watched her like a hawk during the day and took her out as much as possible and praised her when she did it outside.any tip would be really appreciated, thanks so much
Thank you for the time you take to do these videos, the great information and your personality.
Our clients on our puppy wait list love you and it's been a great resource for them!
-Might have to start giving them your books with our puppy kits!
Thank you SO much. You're appreciated!
We would love to try this training to our pack🐾🐶🐶🐶🐾🐾👍👍👍👍
Love all your videos Zak, Molly is loving life on our farm. She is my Old English Sheepdog and is 3 months old. We crate trained her and she won’t go in the crate but she’ll still wee wee whenever she wants indoors. She is also very nippy and has attitude. Any tips? I’ll just keep at it. Keep up the great tutorials. :)
You need to introduce her to every room in the house so that she learns to keep that space clean. First take her out, when she has gone potty take her to the room you want to introduce (preferably on leash) and do some playing and treat training for 5-10 minutes. Then take her out or to her crate. Repeat several times in all areas of the room. It's also a good idea to put dog beds, water bowls, treats and toys in any area she is especially "drawn" to. The idea is to make these rooms valuable to her so that she does not want to soil them.
In areas where you think she has already peed, use an enzymatic cleaner to get the smell out (normal cleaners will not get all the smell out and her sensitive nose will tell her "this is a good place to go").
Emma Blomqvist thanks so much for this info, I hadn’t done those things. I’ll get working on it ASAP. :)
Thanks for the video! I was definitely relaxing too much😂😬
I’ll use this for my future dog
Great video. Very helpful with our new puppy. We have a 3 year old dog that ONLY goes in her spot in our backyard. How can I train her to go in a new area? For example, we rented a cabin this past weekend and would have loved to give her a command to get her to go potty instead of holding it for almost a day like she did.
I have a Samoyed puppy which is 6 months and he is having a lot of troubles with, 1) excitement urinating. 2) table/counter surfing. 3) Crate trading. (We watched Zaks videos all the time about crate training and we did crate training drills 7 times a day with at least 45 minutes or 20 minutes. We crate trained him since around the second or first week of having him, the first few night, when the crate didn’t come in yet, we had him sleep in a small square shaped baby gated area.) 4) leash training. ( he also tends not to listen very well and when he sees dogs he either cries or tugs). 5) My cousins have 2 Shiz Tzus and he tends to be more rough against them. (He is often okay-ish) with dogs but with some mostly smaller dogs he is more rough but with bigger dogs he is either scared, antsy, jumpy or barking I don’t know whether or not he is being mean to them though.
If anyone has any answers it would help greatly! I knew Samoyeds were stubborn be he seems very stubborn because he had slept in his crate for basically 6 months already and still hates it.
OMGoodness my pup is driving me bonkers.. I am so glad that I found your page. Tomorrow will be the beginning of Bentlys training.
How is Bently's training going?
Hi Zak! Love your videos! I am getting a puppy very soon and I am so excited to use these videos and Pupford for training.
I have a question though: my puppy is in my hometown which is 6 hours away from where I currently live. Should I bring him to home as soon as possible? Or would it be ok for us to stay at my moms house for a week?
I am scared to make him more confused by letting him adjust for a week and then moving again....
Zak, can you please help with a video explains what to train your dog and when? So not to overwhelm the puppy? Maybe you already have one? I have been watching inertia’s training from the start and this somewhat answers my question but would be great to have video with a breakdown by week... 8, 12... milestones etc
My puppy nova is still having such a hard time with going to the washroom outside thanks for this video it helps a lot! Also one of the issues we’ve been having is since In the morning the grass is wet Nova will not want to go to the washroom or step a paw on the grass.
maybe put some pads on the grass so it doesn't feel wet?
Ibrahim qureshi thanks for the advice
Aye!! My puppy is named Nova too!!
this helps a lot because im getting a sweet little girl who is not puppy trained shes a dachsund terrier mix
Thank god for these videos because without them my dog would be a mess
I swear Zak, you are the only North American trainer I've found so far to even consider the idea that your viewers may live in a high rise apartment building with no quick direct access to a lovely lush backyard. I live in an apartment on the 6th floor, and it takes me a good couple of minutes to take my puppy out, so I'm always a little frustrated with how backyard owners make potty training look so easy - just pick them up before they get the opportunity to go and rush them outside... Easier said than done!
My puppy was using padded mats for the first two weeks (took to them quickly), but then my local trainer insisted I get rid of them and focus on teaching her to solely go outside. She's been having accidents ever since. Should I just go back to using mats? 🥺
Thanks for your videos, love your style.
Great video. We just got a puppy...he was 5 months when we got him so we're trying to train him to go potty outside but her really doesnt like cold weather at all.
Great video. I’m trying to train kids as much as the puppy, and they are as bad as the puppy at waiting till the last minute before going to the bathroom. So of course the puppy has lots of accidents when she’s with them. We are going on a sailboat soon and wondering if you had any specific advice for keeping a puppy on a boat? We will take the potty pads to put out on the deck at potty time.
I rescued a 4 month old mini schnauzer. She has not been trained at all. She doesn’t even know how to walk on a leash. Your videos have helped me lots!
This video is working very well he listens to me now
I havent got my puppy yet...im a bit nervous but thankyou for all of this advice..
Just wanted a new video on training..
By Zak Georgie
You are an amazing trainer.
I am trying to teach my pet new tricks by watching your videos only
Great video Thank you Zak. How do you keep your grass looking so good after Inertia pees in the yard? :)
I just got 3 puppies this was really helpful 😺
Abigail Weisbeck it’s fine my family helps in taking care of them.
Hi, I'm about to get a Sataffordshire Bull Terrier puppy (Thor) in the next few days and was thinking on taking your videos as a guidanceto be able to have a good behaving dog when he grows up. I've been wondering though, how much time did you spend daily training Inertia when she esa a pupp? and how much time did playing take of her day? Cause all the reference I get from your dog training experience videos are the educating moments and would like to know what is a good balance between both. Thanks for your videos!
After watching your video , I feel it's very time taking to have a dog . Dropped idea to adopt a dog.
It's good you realized that before getting a dog! Having a dog is a life style and it does take many hours every day to look after them properly. You are very responsible to know your own boundaries! Good job!
Hi Zak, thanks for sharing your amazing videos. I have a question. I've been told to keep my puppy on the same diet used by the breeder for two weeks (Purina chicken and rice) after picking her up, however, I'm also hearing about training using treats. I need to potty train, crate train, and leash train my dog asap. So, should I use treats? Will they mess my puppy's digestive process? Thanks for your help.
This is great
