      Yes! Especially focus on training an old dog that has not been potty trained. This is the most common reason that older dogs can’t get adopted. 😢
      Another great series might be training a dog living with other dogs. It gets confusing for the pack and the new dog when clickers and treats are involved! Older dogs expect the treat for obeying the command and puppy didn’t earn one yet. What to do? Oi!
      Multi dog family barking is another, common and serious problem.

    The Summary Girl:
    Dog Training Experience - Ep. 1
    Steps:
    1. Pick up puppy (at 8 weeks from your reputable breeder)
    2. Go to the vet ( to make sure your puppy is healthy) Tip - Use treats to get your puppy comfortable and make a positive association with the vet (and new places).
    3. Condition your new puppy to things like the clicker, collars and harnesses + Stay in town for an extra day (if your breeder lived far away). Tip - Take things slowly, there's no rush. Go at your puppy's speed and comfortability.
    4. Have your PupBox ready to do a bit of training or have your puppy supplies ready to do some training (make sure you have your wipes, pee pads, treats toys and a clicker).
    5. Do a bit of clicker training. (Teach your puppy that the clicking sound means they will get a reward). Tip - Keep treat small. Keep training sessions short, frequent and reward for the slightest positive actions.
    Remember! - The click does not tell your dog to do something, it only communicates that you like what the did.
    6. Get their collar and harness on so you can make sure that they don't get into any trouble. Tip - Reward with treats for little progress so your puppy is comfortable with their harness and collar. This also builds positive association.
    Remember! - Take it Slow. This builds trust between you and your puppy which is fundamental in training and your overall relationship.
    Remember! - Too much freedom to early is the biggest mistake people make. Have them comfortable leash for their safety and your benefit.
    7. Play with your puppy, to build the bond between you. This is essential for training and trust. It is also great for your puppies brain development.
    8. Give them plenty of time to nap because 8 week old puppies need 18-20 hours of sleep per day.
    9. Give them plenty of opportunities to relieve themselves. Better safe than sorry :)
    10. Condition them to sleeping at night, and relaxing in anxious situations.
    11. Travel back home the next day.
    12. Have plenty of breaks for your puppy to get some energy out and pee. However, avoid over dogs or areas where other dogs visit frequently to avoid your puppy getting ill if they have got all their vaccines.
    13. Arrive home and do the feed them etc.
    14. Watch the next episode of The Dog Training Revolution, Subscribe to Zak George, sign up to PupBox and buy his books on dog training for more information about raising your puppy.
    Desensitization:
    Touch desensitization -
    1. Try and get your pup comfortable with your touching their ears, paws, tail etc. so that they are more comfortable at vet checks or other occasions where they get touched in those areas. A road trip home is the perfect time to do this kind of training.
    Sound Desensitization -
    1. Make sure your puppy is well socialised.
    2. When your puppy sleeps walk around, speak loud, open doors etc. The purpose of desensitization is to make your dog/puppy more accustom to loud noises meaning they will no freak out when something loud or abrupt happens. Note - Do not overwhelm your dog or puppy because this does more harm then good. Take it slowly. Use positive reinforcement for good behaviour (staying calm, not barking). Make sure you are attentive to their body language so you can prevent negative reactions before they happen. However, there is no reward necessary if they are just naturally relaxed.
    Remember! - Expose them to a variety of sounds both artificial and natural over the sound desnsitization process.
    Crate Introduction:
    Why use a crate?
    A crate is used to easily control your dog's environment for short periods of time if you cannot directly tend to them.
    1. You can either gently place your puppy in the crate while there sleeping with the crate door open or toss in some treats and encourage your puppy to go in and out of the crate at their own free will.
    Remember! - This is to build up a positive association with the crate. Do not force your puppy inside and close the door or they will build a negative association with it. Take is slowly.
    2. Allow them to sleep in the crate ( but only when they have fallen asleep by themselves and you put them in their crate).Note - Your puppy will wake up frequently at night and may whine. Feed them if they may be hungry as well as allow them to relieve themselves. Use it as an opportunity to do a bit of clicker training. When they even have a split second of silence click and reward right away so they make the connection between them being silent and the reward.
    3. Encourage them to relax if they have a bit of anxiety. That is part of the training, desensitization and transition process for your new puppy. They are not used to things so it is normal for them to whine or be anxious at night. So be prepared and help them to remain calm. Pay attention to their body language so that you can prevent any negative habits or behaviours from forming. Reward for silence/relaxation and do not give the opportunity for them to whine by rewarding frequently. Be patient. They will get better. But also have empathy for them, its ok to comfort them if they are very anxious or get on the floor and sleep so your closer to them.
    Remember! - Use positive based training and reinforcement for good behaviour. Never shout at your puppy even if you're frustrated or that will make them even more anxious. Stay calm.
    Training:
    House Training -
    1. After your puppy has taken a nap in their crate take them over to a pee pad or outside if it is close. However, make sure you have a indoor option as puppies will immediately want to pee after they wake up. Tip - Having them on a leash and harness will allow you to keep them on the pad.
    General Training -
    1. You can jump into another short training session with your puppy (e.g "Look at Me" training") using the clicker. Note - Make sure to keep sessions short and frequent, only using positive based training.
    Remember - Dogs are learning at every moment!
    2. When doing "Look at Me" training make sure to click and give the reward to communicate that you liked what they did. You can also say their name so they equate their name with looking at you.
    3. You can also work on "Leave It" training when you take them outside, You can use the clicker for this too.
    Remember! - Keep training sessions short and reward for listening/good behaviour.
    Socialization:
    1. Primary socialization is very important for your puppy. Take your dog out to new places and to see new people. This all part of the training and desensitization process. Note - Your puppy can get overwhelmed or anxious by too many people so pay attention to their body language. If they do start to get anxious give them a break.
    Play:
    1. Playing with you puppy is good for bonding and mental stimulation. It also helps to get their energy out so they don't use it for something destructive. You can introduce them to fetch (tossing the toy the toy back and forth) and getting some mild exercise done (play). Remember! - Be really animated with you puppy to get them excited. They feed of your energy and it strengthens the bond.
    How to teach "Let Go"?
    Hold the toy still and make it boring. That way they will lose interest. When they let go make sure to say a "Yes" or use the clicker to communicate that they did something right then toss it again for them.
    Playing outdoors:
    Until your puppy/dog is fully vaccinated, do your best to avoid areas that are likely frequented by other dogs.
    Tip - Wipe your puppy's paws of with dog wipes after they have been outside so you can avoid them getting ill.

    Im so glad you joined the puppy on the floor. I did the same thing. I caved. I will say that my dog is full-grown golden retriever now and does not have to stay in my bed to sleep at night. She will sleep in her crate, on the floor, or if I allow, up on my bed. Puppies naturally need to be with the pack and we are the pack substitute. At least til they are older. No bad results with my dog with me caving in when she was a puppy. Also, if the puppy is close by you at night then you hear the puppy stir and you can take the puppy outside to pee before any accidents. Sometime 2-3 times night when they are young but it beats cleaning up a mess..

    Zak! Thank you so much for including this episode showing how you travel with a new puppy. We will be travelling and staying in a hotel when we pick up our new puppy in April. Seeing you with & Bree with Inertia from adoption moment one, to riding in the car and setting up space in the hotel room were so helpful. This is our first puppy and your training videos assure us on how to best prepare. Your true, authentic videos are encouraging and informative. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I recently got a 9 week old Shorkie. So adorable. Our very first night I put him in a small kennel right on my bed, beside me, facing me. Slept all night with no crying. It’s been like that ever since. He stays clean and dry too.

    Been watching dozens (and dozens) of Zak George (and Rachel Fursaro) vids since I unexpectedly got a puppy. Listened to Revolution. Just got his other book and decided to start at episode one of Inertia. FANTASTIC. Invaluable to see every moment, good and bad. Thank you so much Zak! You're the BEST!

    Had to say a tear full goodbye to my best buddy of 15.5 years recently. Vids like this help. He was a tri coloured Collie he was really smart and because his natural herding instinct rarely needed to use a lead when walking with him, even as a pup. I miss him so much.

    I just want to say I started watching these videos to prepare for our puppy. We got him at 3 1/2 months old, and I've been using a clicker to mark good behavior and get him excited to work for us and learn how we want him to behave, and get him comfortable with people and other animals. I've seen such good results early on. Thank you for posting this series! It's really been informative and helpful!

  • @hsinmeichang

    Very appreciate that you do this type of videos. You are so down to earth and it absolutely melt my heart that you slept on the floor to accompany her. I felt guilty when I had my first puppy because I thought it’s not good training in order to teach my puppy to be independent on day 1. Sympathy, sympathy and more sympathy. Thank you Zak!

I’ve been really enjoying watching your videos and sharing what I’ve learned with my family to help out with training our pup.

    omg this could not have come at a better time!! Last week I found myself with a 6 week old puppy that had to leave his mother too soon. I've been binging your videos this week trying to figure out how to go about this whole situation from the free 30 day perfect puppy training to the more advanced training that we will get to one day. Now he's 7 weeks old and today is the first day I got him to successfully complete all three levels of "leave it" (closed fist, open hand, drop on floor). When we first started he snatched the food so fast I thought I'd lose a finger. He so much better now!!! Thanks for your videos, and your over all chill demeanor. Taking in a puppy is DAUNTING. Your vids are a life saver! Going to follow you on Instagram right now!!

    We are about to go on a 14 hour road trip tomorrow to pick up our new puppy and this video was perfect for us! Thank you so much! We had already set up an appointment with a local Vet to take him to be checked right away, so that was covered but the top is coming off of the crate asap, we are packing the entire package of puppy pads, and will remind the kids of the importance of sleep for a little pup! Thanks again Zak, you are a star!
