The hardest part of training a dog isn't learning the concepts, it's knowing how to adapt and improvise when things don't go as expected - which happens all the time! I think this is why many people get discouraged when training their dog. Also when you're a beginner, it's really hard to know when you're on the right track and just need to be patient, or when you're doing something wrong. Watching experienced trainers roll with the punches is so incredibly helpful and useful! Thank you Zak for making this series!
Thank you so much for showing real life experiences and situations with Inertia! Your series with her is helping me tremendously and I'm so thankful to have stumbled upon your videos! Now I can properly prepare myself for my upcoming puppy next year! 💖
This is such a valuable video to watch as a puppy owner. It's so common to see "training" videos where the dog just does everything right the first time. It's nice to see a professional trainer deal with the same issues that everyone does. It really helps put stuff in perspective! Thanks for the videos!
outstanding! finally a video with an untrained dog. love the analysis and self corrections you share as inertia behaves like a typical dogs. it’s given me solid ideas on how to proceed with my dog. the main one being that I need to be consistent and patient with training, and it’s gonna take a while despite using the right tactics and strategies.
Thank you so much for showing her failures as well as her success, it really shows you need to be patient and understanding of dogs. I look forward to seeing her progress and learn more myself! Thanks again!
This is so real. You dont show how to train dogs with a trained dog. This is how we can trust a trainer by watching him work with an untrained dog! (Not that Inertia is untrained...)
@@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER So, Inertia being able to sit, down, stay, wait, play fetch, hug , stall and be calm when gates open is no result to you? You've clearly haven't learnt anything yourself from this series. Do you think puppies do this stuff naturally? She even got better with puppy biting and leash biting. So yeah, no idea what series you've been watching.
I almost never let my dog greet random dogs when on walks. I don't know the other dog and their reactivity. And my dog is also selective and sometimes doesn't have the best response to other dogs so it's rarely worth the risk.
I just wanted to say OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking the time to create this amazing channel! My hubby and i have 2 pups under 2 years old and I have been using your methods and teaching practices lately and love them! Not to mention I really value the WAY you train, humanely and with regard to the dogs actual intelligence rather than fear training. I am so grateful to have found your channel! And our pups thank you too!
I really appreciate that you keep this real and include the ”fails” because that is reality. I feel like it gives people the real side of training, if you would only show the successful moments people might think that there is something wrong with their dogs, or they are bad at training because they cant get something right at the first few tries. It really gives that ” This happens, training takes fails to succeed” idea.
Thank you so much for your training. It's made such a difference (Whitby in UK). He can leave (mostly), come (for a quite a long distance...and with distractions), weave, go to bed, dig (on the beach), and loads more. All with your help xxx (absolutely rubbish on the hug tho, he keeps wanting to be in front and kiss me).
@@Cromerty Mine too! Hug is absolutely impossible. My Freya just comes right to my front like "Um - how can I stare into your eyes if you keep turning around??"
So glad to see the imperfect path to training success even an expert must take as it encourages me to keep on trying when it would be easier to just give up
So incredibly thankful for this video!! and this series. I adopted a puppy when he was 6 months and he'd been a stray before so it was definitely new to him to learn and understand. leash pulling is the biggest issue so i really am thankful that you're doing this with Inertia who is also still on her learning journey.

My dog can walk very nice in a certain place and every day we just walk a few feet longer, so it's going really slow, but forward and that's all that matters.
I can't thank you enough for your training videos. I have a 4 month old Australian Cattle Dog. Because of your videos he can sit, stay, lay down, and his recall is very good for his age. I can get him to a walk with me pretty good, he pulls on his leash when distracted, but we've only worked on leash pulling for 1 week so far. He also is mat training right now and is working on "leave it". I'm super impressed with his brains!!! THANK YOU! What is the best way to support YOU with a thanks? You're the best! (You are too Inertia!) Thank you also for the style of training you use. Our local trainer here at home uses the same methods as you. Jasper (my puppy) is benefitting (as so am I) from both of you. Our trainer here at home also trains agility...I'm hoping that is Jasper's "job" in the future (that's the plan) since we don't have cows to herd LOL.
I love your vids, my cavapoo that is 5 month old and she already knows sit,stay,heal,down and look at me! All thx to your tips and vids Shes still workin on pulling on the lead, but with these vids shes deffinetly gonna get there! And inertia is growing up so fast!🥰🥺❤️🐶🍪🐺🌟🌟🌟 Ecxited to see ur next vid 👍🏻
This video made me feel so much better about training my own puppy. Thank you for showing the real challenges so I don’t think I’m doing it all wrong. My Golden is 3 months old so I’m following along with the process.
Wow only a matter of time before you are going to realize there’s only so much progress you are able to make until you need to implement the other quadrants of training. Definitely looking forward to that!
Veran Edits yep exactly. That puppy could not give a shit less about what kinds of treats he has or what he’s saying while he’s outside or there’s a remotely interesting stimuli present 😆 I’m honestly excited to see what he does when people start to realize his dog is making no progress. This whole series was a bad idea for his channel.
Wolf Revenant I totally agree with you. However, I do believe there are some dogs that simply cannot be trained using pp and I have a feeling inertia is one of them. But you are right we will see soon enough it’s definitely too early to tell. I think the facade here is that he is probably putting hours a day into training this puppy which 95% of dog owners don’t have the time to do.
Awesome video! So glad I found this channel, I only wish I found it before I got my puppy! I have a 4 month old lab mix who’s coming along really nicely when walking on the road. As soon as she gets in the long driveway she instantly pulls and loses all her good manners. She sometimes growls and runs around fighting the leash when she doesn’t get to go where she wants. I’m quite sure she just wants so play and is throwing a temper tantrum but I don’t want to reward her by letting her play and I don’t know how to redirect her! She won’t watch me or sit when she gets like that either. I did just order a long leash to help with training, so grateful for such informative videos!
You got a border collie! Good choice! Our BC is 6 months old now and your videos have been helpful! Though I must say that training a BC is easier than training other pup breeds ;)
I disagree. My Border Collie picks up everything, even my mistakes so fast that then it leads to habits that are not desired. They are so intelligent that the slightest mistake can be picked up, whether the other pups won't even notice😂 either way, they are my favourite
It's so refreshing to see that even a veteran dog trainer still has a hard time with those things. It's good to remind ourselves that no matter how perfect things appear in some tutorials, the training is never smooth right from the start. Consistency and positive reinforcement are key. Thank you so much for not shying away from showing us that!
@@sparkledog2455 That's a 16 weeks old puppy discovering a whole new place. Everyone would struggle in that situation. It is very refreshing to see him actually show us that instead of cutting and editing to the good bits and having other people feel desperate when they can't even come close to that with their dogs.
@@MelleNoobette that's the thing the dog is 16 weeks old and as a trainer is dog should already mastered this. I understand showing real footage but this would have been great if the dog was younger but he has been training his dog from day 1 and dogs I have trained from puppies are way more advanced than his dog. That's what I meant by the comments
I have a corgi aussie mix and man your dogs behavior is a close match. I love border collies and brittany's but I think my next dog will just be a boring old lab or golden retriever. I like all the dogs that are not a good match for me :) Maybe an Irish setter would be a little more unique.
Wouldn’t say labs or golden retrievers are boring, I have a showline golden retriever with a very high work ethic and drive, if you want boring then get a greyhound or whippet or lurched
In many cases I agree they are quite helpful but with this breed I think that should be last resort. Borders can be quite sensitive and you'd risk hurting your bond and losing some trust. (Though I don't see much of that here anyway) I think firm and firm verbal corrections would do wonders for this pup but that's just what has consistently worked for me and my clients I've trained 🤷♂️
I'm so surprised it took so long before she got her first neighbourhood walk. Our border collie pup (almost 6 months old) , had to do neighbourhood walks from day 1, because we didn't have other options. And she already walked off leash after a week, because pups want to stay close to you. And she usually comes back very easy when we call her back (especially when we have extra delicious treats). But it is still "nice" to see that we're not the only ones struggling sometimes. Even though she usually walks perfect on the leash. We only got a problem with greeting people in a proper way, she wants to cuddle everyone we see.
Well done. Great info. We are new owners of a GSD. Your training demo is fantastic and we follow a lot of these rules for our pupper. But you gave me some new tips to try. Now i need to find out how to stop him hearding the cats.
Haha...there is always one....i know...been doing dog training for 55 years...yes there is always one...sometimes two...ive had two that just well....circles around your heart and u spoil em for want of a better word....and dang it i knew what i was doing...but
Thank u for guidance and sharing! My Cavanese ( high energy) Lucy 5 monthish born June 14. The raw real coverage is great. Let's me know I'm right on track. Or lol 😀 Lucy is right on track... We perfectly remain trying and imperfect. Appreciate Inertia willingness to share with us. 🐾.
My boxer/gsd pup is about 13-14 weeks (I think) and we love your videos. Could you please do a video on car rides? He’s always been very anxious and whines/barks until he falls asleep. I would love for him to eventually enjoy them but it’s currently a big stress :(
Oh good suggestion! Aloy just digs, tries to jump on my shoulders, whilst I am driving... Even with her seat harness on, she can still reach me. She tries to chew everything. At the moment my bf sits in the back with her, so she chews him instead. Just putting us off visiting family, as they live 2-3hrs drive away. 😩
Elle O - approach it the same as any other thing your puppy is afraid of. Start small and build up slow, giving your puppy lots of positive associations with being in the car. Start by just getting in the car (while the car is off) and treating. When puppy is comfortable with that, move on to getting in the car and being secured (whatever that looks like for you guys - dog seatbelt, crate, etc) and treating. Then move up to doing that, but with the car on. Not going anywhere - just on. Then move up to a SHORT drive. Even just to the end of the driveway and back. Then gradually build up to longer drives. Make each step a positive experience, with lots of praise, fun and treats. It might take weeks or even months to progress through all the steps. Just be patient and keep at it. Only move forward when your puppy is comfortable with the step you’re at. Good luck! ❤️
@@s_rofbear also helps when you start doing small car rides with them to make sure the majority of them end up at an exciting place, like a walk. My dog was terrible in the car and we did exactly the same things as you said as well as this.
@@FoxyFoxlyn maybe try the travelling crate? The crate training is very useful, taking one with you to your family will allow the pup to have his own secure place whilst in their new environment as well. Having the pup in the crate inside the car increases its and your safety. You can give him blankets, toys, safe chew or Kong full of peanut butter for the journey
@@annakcupidustalebordercoll3503 she has a crate at home for bed time, and when we are out. No way am I leaving a Springer Spaniel to destroy my house. 😂 I thought about the crate for the car, but she likes to look out the window and all our dogs before were great in the car. Our dog trainer said to practise sitting in the car with her when not going anywhere. Suggested I read, let it become a calming environment. She is fine on short trips as bf sits with her in the back. On the way back, she will fall asleep as she is tired from her walk.
I've been doing Frisbee with my rough collie puppy soon to be six months old. This week she started to catch it although she is far from doing so consistently.
Inertia is so cute🌺 My 4 month old Maltese poodle Westie mix can do 10+ tricks and he already walks off leash in dog parks.❤️ I just say “heel” and he is at my feet. Keep up the good training🐶
I love how you train. I started my dog training career ever since I found you years ago. But I use a slip lead when teaching heel only because I feel like it gives them a sense of direction. No harm or anything. I’m all about positivity. I will never use assertive methods. I just use that type of leash to redirect positions. I also use free shaping too so the dog can choose to heel.
1. Leave alone training outdoor. 2. Heel training outdoor. 3. Pracitse surprise come, sit and other commands. 4. One step a time heel training. 5. Frisbee training 2nd video. First catch. 6. Get her attention before she about to do you dont want her to. 6. Second heel training video. 7. Do not miss out on training on realistic distraction and places. 8. Keeping her attention on you by going forth and back so she knows you are and you hve to listen to me. 9. Stay till you call. 10. If she is pulling or distracted go opposite direction to get her attention back and get her to take treat. 11. If she is barking, or jumping on people, give her treat and calm her down and encourage right behaviour.
My dogs loved their bark box. My 8 pound Maltese would open the box all by himself, and eventually started to think all the boxes that came to the house were for him. It was so cute.
Hi Zak! My husband and I are proud parents to a Jack Russell puppy of 4 months!!! Your videos have helped tremendously in every way. At every step of her training we knew we weren't alone and you were there when we seemed help. Now is the time to decide if we are going to sterilize her or not. We are really afraid either way. What are you planning to do with Inertia? Thanks a lot again for the dedication and for the experience! Best wishes from Dakar Senegal!
I love this video. I'm still having these issues with my beautiful kelpie, she just turned 1. Sometimes I think 'she's got it, yes!', then another month of her growing confidence and loving life, and it's like we have never done any training at all, back to basics, haha. She's just a super happy active girl, and I just have to keep training, forever, constantly, this is the story of my life now I guess! Plus, the 'exercise to wear her out a bit' before training is a minimum of 45 minutes, running and fetch time. Phew! 'm getting fitter! Wouldn't have it any other way :D
My border collie/bearded collie cross (same age as Inertia) is RIVETED by your videos. So funny, because she doesn't usually pay attention to the tv! Loving your training journey with Inertia!
Me and my pitbull mix Bella are similar to you and Enertia. I had to re-set and go back and review earlier training to remind myself not to demand too much. Bella had acted aggressive to my other dog while my other dog was crated, so now to discourage that behavior. I am now keeping Bella in a more structured environment and keeping her close to me and not roaming the house. Today she is tired out, docile, and being so much better with the day of training we did yesterday outdoors, and in the park. I hope to get Bella in a good training class in January with a professional dog training family who trains dogs for the police and pet dogs. I made mistakes and my 2 dogs started fighting each other, so we had to have a re-do and I am making sure to do things right so this doesn't happen again. I have to keep them separated right now for the time being.
Training on drive means you only train when the dog is motivated basicly there’s a good book called training in drive dogs trained in drive are engaged and animated
"There's some goo on the ground over here. I have no idea what it is. It looks gross and she's trying to get over to it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh so hard, just how he said it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trained my dog so well that when the electricity meter checker came around and left the gate open he walked out took the same rout as we always did towards the park sat at the pedestrian crossing and waited to be told to cross xD True story so glad I taught him to sit and wait to be told when to cross the road.
Thank you so much for this vid I have a almost 2 year old German Shepherd and this reminds me it's normal for dogs to do this and this help me so much on what to do to stop it so me and Duke the German Shepherd thank you ❤️
Curious because I and my partner had our black lab pup from 9 weeks, and she has been incredibly obedient while walking on our side farthest from a high traffic street from the early training in our neighbourhood (she's 10 weeks now), just seeing your inertia having such a difficult time makes me relieved we did this training early on. Of course, we stick to a short reflective leash, have an eye on her the entire time, when dogs cross our paths we immediately ask about whether they've completed their shots, and if their dog is fine with puppies in which case owners always are willing to respond (we've seen countless muzzled dogs but all of them naturally understand what a pup is, never noticed aggression). ALSO If Canadians are watching this don't order the BarkBox because the Canadian customs are halting all dog treats at the border..since this has been recently published you shouldn't be advertising this also to Canada...
Hi Zak I love your videos they've helped me a lot with my own puppy and I've been following the series ever since. I do have an issue and it's that my puppy simply refuses to move at all whenever I put a leash on him. He's from a rescue shelter and he was abused when he was little so maybe that's why ? I need a little help and guidance if anyone can I want to introduce him to the outside world a little and help him be happy in a way. Kind of breaks my heart to have him home all day. Thanks again for the great advice you bring to the series and God bless your soul
If your dog is a rescue and you know it had been abused perhaps you should ask a local behaviourist to walk you through slow socialisation plan. With regards to the leash, try a different type, maybe it's too heavy for the dog? Make it a fun thing, use it indoors a lot, just like Zak does, when playing and feeding. You can even use just a small light cat least to start with. Good luck :)
Thank you for rescuing! I'm sure your puppy will learn that he has a good life with you now, bit by bit. I think Zac has videos on introducing dogs to new things, so you could try those techniques with the leash. Just have it sitting nearby while you play with your dog, and give treats. Then pick it up, and keep it happy and playful. Then let the dog sniff it and give treats. Etc. Baby steps, all happy and positive. Anytime your dog starts showing the fear, go back a step and apply lots of patience. You will get there, and you will have a nice life together.
I had the same problem. I had made some mistakes as a first time dog owner and had created some bad experiences associated with his body harness (his first 'leash'). And whenever he had that leash on, he refused to move. I later changed to a collar leash, and now he happily accepts the collar leash and walks with no problem. It's so important to always attach good memories or experiences with what u want your dog to learn or accept. Try changing the leash or create a new ritual (before walking), so that he makes the association that walking on a leash means something good is going to happen.
Hi Zak! Great video. Do you have a video that shows when or how to switch from giving treats to using the walk as reinforcement? Or should I prepare for a lifetime of bringing treats wherever the dog goes? Cheers!
Hahaha welcome to the world Inertia. It was great seeing you go through what I did. It will be interesting to watch the progression on walking. Great video thanks
I've been watching your videos for some months. Inertia is a beautiful lady, and you're a wonderful trainer. I love your videos amd upur patient, step-wise approach to life. Much love to you both!
Hey Zak! We get our little Chow puppy on Friday and man, your videos have been amazing. We are feeling so confident to take on this next adventure in our life! But I wanted to check, with the constant positive reinforcement and treat giving, how many treats is too many treats? I don't want a fat little pup 😂 Again, thanks so much for all your content, it's given us so much confidence!
Dude,its okay to tell your dog "no", or to use a sound to indicate that a behavior is unacceptable.Just like a click means YES, another sound tells themwhat is not wanted. How else will she know??? Its called COMMUNICATION!
@@cake1159 yep. Poor pup is having to figure out on her own what is a mistake. How many times does she have to do a behavior before she realizes, "oh! He doesnt want me to do that!" There is a sound I make when training my pups/dogs, when a behavior is unacceptable. The sound even works for stray dogs. I agree with the positive reinforcement. But a simple communication of "not that plz", is just as important! Imagine if humans never told their children No! Lol peace
Hi there! Ive checked out most of your videos and i love how you approach the problem, so i was wondering if i could have some help? I have a 9 week old yorkshire terrier, who apparently favours me as his favourite chew toy, to the point where he is lunging at my face and any other part of me. Ive tried techniques recommended by friends, and some by professionals as well, but he just won't calm down. Its gone from playful nips to painful bites and I'm just a bit stuck on what to do?
I just took my dog for a walk outside of the property for the first time, considering everything, he was extremely well behaved, he did get really excited when cars went past, but we're working on that
plus how is the dog supposed to know what to do? this handler has done nothing to shape a heel, not a single sub-task ? if by some miracle the pulling stopped then what? you are left with a dog that has no idea what to do? what I see is a dog who is basically being taught to jump on handsy strangers
Looks like my life with my GSD puppy lol. Even at 16 months old and despite doing the same methods you show here since he was 12 weeks old some days walks are still a failure. Some days they ARE good walks though. Here's hoping we eventually get there. I know large breeds take a while to mentally mature.
The hardest part of training a dog isn't learning the concepts, it's knowing how to adapt and improvise when things don't go as expected - which happens all the time! I think this is why many people get discouraged when training their dog.

toph mcneary I got mine from Just For Dogs too. It works great. I love it!!
Thanks for making all these videos!
Wow only a matter of time before you are going to realize there’s only so much progress you are able to make until you need to implement the other quadrants of training. Definitely looking forward to that!
Corrections you mean? Yeah he’s getting the most basic of response from the puppy lmao
Veran Edits yep exactly. That puppy could not give a shit less about what kinds of treats he has or what he’s saying while he’s outside or there’s a remotely interesting stimuli present 😆 I’m honestly excited to see what he does when people start to realize his dog is making no progress. This whole series was a bad idea for his channel.
Wolf Revenant I totally agree with you. However, I do believe there are some dogs that simply cannot be trained using pp and I have a feeling inertia is one of them. But you are right we will see soon enough it’s definitely too early to tell. I think the facade here is that he is probably putting hours a day into training this puppy which 95% of dog owners don’t have the time to do.
Awesome video! So glad I found this channel, I only wish I found it before I got my puppy! I have a 4 month old lab mix who’s coming along really nicely when walking on the road. As soon as she gets in the long driveway she instantly pulls and loses all her good manners. She sometimes growls and runs around fighting the leash when she doesn’t get to go where she wants. I’m quite sure she just wants so play and is throwing a temper tantrum but I don’t want to reward her by letting her play and I don’t know how to redirect her! She won’t watch me or sit when she gets like that either. I did just order a long leash to help with training, so grateful for such informative videos!
You got a border collie! Good choice! Our BC is 6 months old now and your videos have been helpful! Though I must say that training a BC is easier than training other pup breeds ;)
yes, but their energy levels are off the chart.
I disagree. My Border Collie picks up everything, even my mistakes so fast that then it leads to habits that are not desired. They are so intelligent that the slightest mistake can be picked up, whether the other pups won't even notice😂 either way, they are my favourite
Anna Krzak I haven’t yet had that experience with mine. He picks up training almost immediately! 🥰 hope that doesn’t change as he gets older
This video is very informative. I love how you show how you really train your dog and don’t use a dog who’s already trained
I would love to see her reaction to snow lol My girls loves it!
This series is unlike anything else man truly something unique keep it up zak!👍🔥🐕
My kids were so exited to see the BarkBox as our puppy got almost the same stuff except for the beef treats and we got a remote control
It's so refreshing to see that even a veteran dog trainer still has a hard time with those things. It's good to remind ourselves that no matter how perfect things appear in some tutorials, the training is never smooth right from the start. Consistency and positive reinforcement are key. Thank you so much for not shying away from showing us that!
A veteran dog trainer should not be struggling as much as he is for a dog that lives with him
@@sparkledog2455 That's a 16 weeks old puppy discovering a whole new place. Everyone would struggle in that situation. It is very refreshing to see him actually show us that instead of cutting and editing to the good bits and having other people feel desperate when they can't even come close to that with their dogs.
@@MelleNoobette that's the thing the dog is 16 weeks old and as a trainer is dog should already mastered this. I understand showing real footage but this would have been great if the dog was younger but he has been training his dog from day 1 and dogs I have trained from puppies are way more advanced than his dog. That's what I meant by the comments
I have a corgi aussie mix and man your dogs behavior is a close match. I love border collies and brittany's but I think my next dog will just be a boring old lab or golden retriever. I like all the dogs that are not a good match for me :) Maybe an Irish setter would be a little more unique.
Wouldn’t say labs or golden retrievers are boring, I have a showline golden retriever with a very high work ethic and drive, if you want boring then get a greyhound or whippet or lurched
She is so cute good job at training
Love it! Real life, real dog!!
How authentic. My internet is acting up but i cant wait to see your update with you and Inertia 😊👍❤
Inertia is such a beautiful dog😍
Okay, all I can say is YESSSSS ZAK UPLOADED :D
I prefer using prong collars because they evenly distributed pressure around the dogs neck. Plus harnesses just teach the dog to pull.
exactly!
In many cases I agree they are quite helpful but with this breed I think that should be last resort. Borders can be quite sensitive and you'd risk hurting your bond and losing some trust. (Though I don't see much of that here anyway) I think firm and firm verbal corrections would do wonders for this pup but that's just what has consistently worked for me and my clients I've trained 🤷♂️
I'm so surprised it took so long before she got her first neighbourhood walk. Our border collie pup (almost 6 months old) , had to do neighbourhood walks from day 1, because we didn't have other options. And she already walked off leash after a week, because pups want to stay close to you. And she usually comes back very easy when we call her back (especially when we have extra delicious treats). But it is still "nice" to see that we're not the only ones struggling sometimes. Even though she usually walks perfect on the leash. We only got a problem with greeting people in a proper way, she wants to cuddle everyone we see.
Well done. Great info. We are new owners of a GSD. Your training demo is fantastic and we follow a lot of these rules for our pupper. But you gave me some new tips to try. Now i need to find out how to stop him hearding the cats.
Haha...there is always one....i know...been doing dog training for 55 years...yes there is always one...sometimes two...ive had two that just well....circles around your heart and u spoil em for want of a better word....and dang it i knew what i was doing...but
Thank u for guidance and sharing! My Cavanese ( high energy) Lucy 5 monthish born June 14. The raw real coverage is great. Let's me know I'm right on track. Or lol 😀 Lucy is right on track... We perfectly remain trying and imperfect. Appreciate Inertia willingness to share with us. 🐾.
My boxer/gsd pup is about 13-14 weeks (I think) and we love your videos. Could you please do a video on car rides? He’s always been very anxious and whines/barks until he falls asleep. I would love for him to eventually enjoy them but it’s currently a big stress :(
Oh good suggestion! Aloy just digs, tries to jump on my shoulders, whilst I am driving... Even with her seat harness on, she can still reach me. She tries to chew everything. At the moment my bf sits in the back with her, so she chews him instead. Just putting us off visiting family, as they live 2-3hrs drive away. 😩
Elle O - approach it the same as any other thing your puppy is afraid of. Start small and build up slow, giving your puppy lots of positive associations with being in the car.
Start by just getting in the car (while the car is off) and treating.
When puppy is comfortable with that, move on to getting in the car and being secured (whatever that looks like for you guys - dog seatbelt, crate, etc) and treating.
Then move up to doing that, but with the car on. Not going anywhere - just on.
Then move up to a SHORT drive. Even just to the end of the driveway and back.
Then gradually build up to longer drives.
Make each step a positive experience, with lots of praise, fun and treats. It might take weeks or even months to progress through all the steps. Just be patient and keep at it. Only move forward when your puppy is comfortable with the step you’re at.
Good luck! ❤️
@@s_rofbear also helps when you start doing small car rides with them to make sure the majority of them end up at an exciting place, like a walk. My dog was terrible in the car and we did exactly the same things as you said as well as this.
@@FoxyFoxlyn maybe try the travelling crate? The crate training is very useful, taking one with you to your family will allow the pup to have his own secure place whilst in their new environment as well. Having the pup in the crate inside the car increases its and your safety. You can give him blankets, toys, safe chew or Kong full of peanut butter for the journey
@@annakcupidustalebordercoll3503 she has a crate at home for bed time, and when we are out. No way am I leaving a Springer Spaniel to destroy my house. 😂 I thought about the crate for the car, but she likes to look out the window and all our dogs before were great in the car. Our dog trainer said to practise sitting in the car with her when not going anywhere. Suggested I read, let it become a calming environment. She is fine on short trips as bf sits with her in the back. On the way back, she will fall asleep as she is tired from her walk.
She is like my dog. Absolutly! I think, this is perfect training video. I look forward to continuing.
I've been doing Frisbee with my rough collie puppy soon to be six months old. This week she started to catch it although she is far from doing so consistently.
Inertia is so cute🌺 My 4 month old Maltese poodle Westie mix can do 10+ tricks and he already walks off leash in dog parks.❤️ I just say “heel” and he is at my feet. Keep up the good training🐶
Ahhh!! I'm so excited to watch Inertia's frisby skills develop! I'm so obsessed with this series and your little family 😀😀
I love how you train. I started my dog training career ever since I found you years ago. But I use a slip lead when teaching heel only because I feel like it gives them a sense of direction. No harm or anything. I’m all about positivity. I will never use assertive methods. I just use that type of leash to redirect positions. I also use free shaping too so the dog can choose to heel.
I'm a brand new first time dog owner lol. I love your videos, they are so helpful. Thank you 🥰
I love theese vid ms cause I’ve been wanting to teach my dog so ur helping me alotthank u
I’m getting an Aussie doodle and I have been watching this a lot you’re so helpful!(inertia’s so cute!❤️)
1. Leave alone training outdoor.
2. Heel training outdoor.
3. Pracitse surprise come, sit and other commands.
4. One step a time heel training.
5. Frisbee training 2nd video. First catch.
6. Get her attention before she about to do you dont want her to.
6. Second heel training video.
7. Do not miss out on training on realistic distraction and places.
8. Keeping her attention on you by going forth and back so she knows you are and you hve to listen to me.
9. Stay till you call.
10. If she is pulling or distracted go opposite direction to get her attention back and get her to take treat.
11. If she is barking, or jumping on people, give her treat and calm her down and encourage right behaviour.
My dogs loved their bark box. My 8 pound Maltese would open the box all by himself, and eventually started to think all the boxes that came to the house were for him. It was so cute.
Is it better to ignore a dog when jumping and reward when sitting or to remove the dog and try again in a few seconds
Hi Zak! My husband and I are proud parents to a Jack Russell puppy of 4 months!!! Your videos have helped tremendously in every way. At every step of her training we knew we weren't alone and you were there when we seemed help. Now is the time to decide if we are going to sterilize her or not. We are really afraid either way. What are you planning to do with Inertia? Thanks a lot again for the dedication and for the experience! Best wishes from Dakar Senegal!
So cute my dog does the exact same thing
I love this video. I'm still having these issues with my beautiful kelpie, she just turned 1. Sometimes I think 'she's got it, yes!', then another month of her growing confidence and loving life, and it's like we have never done any training at all, back to basics, haha. She's just a super happy active girl, and I just have to keep training, forever, constantly, this is the story of my life now I guess! Plus, the 'exercise to wear her out a bit' before training is a minimum of 45 minutes, running and fetch time. Phew! 'm getting fitter! Wouldn't have it any other way :D
My border collie/bearded collie cross (same age as Inertia) is RIVETED by your videos. So funny, because she doesn't usually pay attention to the tv! Loving your training journey with Inertia!
Me and my pitbull mix Bella are similar to you and Enertia. I had to re-set and go back and review earlier training to remind myself not to demand too much. Bella had acted aggressive to my other dog while my other dog was crated, so now to discourage that behavior. I am now keeping Bella in a more structured environment and keeping her close to me and not roaming the house. Today she is tired out, docile, and being so much better with the day of training we did yesterday outdoors, and in the park. I hope to get Bella in a good training class in January with a professional dog training family who trains dogs for the police and pet dogs. I made mistakes and my 2 dogs started fighting each other, so we had to have a re-do and I am making sure to do things right so this doesn't happen again. I have to keep them separated right now for the time being.
The dog is not trained in drive hence has no engagement , handler apathy is the number one issue and this is a classic case
Training on drive means you only train when the dog is motivated basicly there’s a good book called training in drive dogs trained in drive are engaged and animated
"There's some goo on the ground over here. I have no idea what it is. It looks gross and she's trying to get over to it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh so hard, just how he said it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trained my dog so well that when the electricity meter checker came around and left the gate open he walked out took the same rout as we always did towards the park sat at the pedestrian crossing and waited to be told to cross xD True story so glad I taught him to sit and wait to be told when to cross the road.
Thank you so much for this vid I have a almost 2 year old German Shepherd and this reminds me it's normal for dogs to do this and this help me so much on what to do to stop it so me and Duke the German Shepherd thank you ❤️
Sierra I have s-German Shepherd similar age and feel the same. Getting a bit of progress but this video is really encouraging isn't it
Curious because I and my partner had our black lab pup from 9 weeks, and she has been incredibly obedient while walking on our side farthest from a high traffic street from the early training in our neighbourhood (she's 10 weeks now), just seeing your inertia having such a difficult time makes me relieved we did this training early on. Of course, we stick to a short reflective leash, have an eye on her the entire time, when dogs cross our paths we immediately ask about whether they've completed their shots, and if their dog is fine with puppies in which case owners always are willing to respond (we've seen countless muzzled dogs but all of them naturally understand what a pup is, never noticed aggression). ALSO If Canadians are watching this don't order the BarkBox because the Canadian customs are halting all dog treats at the border..since this has been recently published you shouldn't be advertising this also to Canada...
Hi Zak I love your videos they've helped me a lot with my own puppy and I've been following the series ever since. I do have an issue and it's that my puppy simply refuses to move at all whenever I put a leash on him. He's from a rescue shelter and he was abused when he was little so maybe that's why ? I need a little help and guidance if anyone can I want to introduce him to the outside world a little and help him be happy in a way. Kind of breaks my heart to have him home all day.
Thanks again for the great advice you bring to the series and God bless your soul
If your dog is a rescue and you know it had been abused perhaps you should ask a local behaviourist to walk you through slow socialisation plan. With regards to the leash, try a different type, maybe it's too heavy for the dog? Make it a fun thing, use it indoors a lot, just like Zak does, when playing and feeding. You can even use just a small light cat least to start with. Good luck :)
Thank you for rescuing! I'm sure your puppy will learn that he has a good life with you now, bit by bit. I think Zac has videos on introducing dogs to new things, so you could try those techniques with the leash. Just have it sitting nearby while you play with your dog, and give treats. Then pick it up, and keep it happy and playful. Then let the dog sniff it and give treats. Etc. Baby steps, all happy and positive. Anytime your dog starts showing the fear, go back a step and apply lots of patience. You will get there, and you will have a nice life together.
I had the same problem. I had made some mistakes as a first time dog owner and had created some bad experiences associated with his body harness (his first 'leash'). And whenever he had that leash on, he refused to move. I later changed to a collar leash, and now he happily accepts the collar leash and walks with no problem. It's so important to always attach good memories or experiences with what u want your dog to learn or accept. Try changing the leash or create a new ritual (before walking), so that he makes the association that walking on a leash means something good is going to happen.
Hi Zak! Great video. Do you have a video that shows when or how to switch from giving treats to using the walk as reinforcement? Or should I prepare for a lifetime of bringing treats wherever the dog goes? Cheers!
I am reading your book.
It is so good and informative. I am getting a puppy in two weeks.
Hahaha welcome to the world Inertia. It was great seeing you go through what I did. It will be interesting to watch the progression on walking. Great video thanks
a real dog training video. nice work. keep it up
Love your training videos! Real world training with an untrained dog is the most helpful!
I've been watching your videos for some months. Inertia is a beautiful lady, and you're a wonderful trainer. I love your videos amd upur patient, step-wise approach to life. Much love to you both!
Hey Zak!
We get our little Chow puppy on Friday and man, your videos have been amazing. We are feeling so confident to take on this next adventure in our life! But I wanted to check, with the constant positive reinforcement and treat giving, how many treats is too many treats? I don't want a fat little pup 😂
Again, thanks so much for all your content, it's given us so much confidence!
Wow, that looks beyond frustrating, way to keep it positive
Omg look how big she got awwww
Dude,its okay to tell your dog "no", or to use a sound to indicate that a behavior is unacceptable.Just like a click means YES, another sound tells themwhat is not wanted. How else will she know??? Its called COMMUNICATION!
Completely agree and the shortcomings of failing to properly communicate are really evident in the slooooow and inconsistent progress
@@cake1159 yep. Poor pup is having to figure out on her own what is a mistake. How many times does she have to do a behavior before she realizes, "oh! He doesnt want me to do that!" There is a sound I make when training my pups/dogs, when a behavior is unacceptable. The sound even works for stray dogs. I agree with the positive reinforcement. But a simple communication of "not that plz", is just as important! Imagine if humans never told their children No! Lol peace
That may be your training technique, but it isn't his. And that's okay
Omg she got so big
Nice video ,thank you😊
Headstrong dog, I love these videos.
That’s useful thanks
So cute!😍😄
Hi there! Ive checked out most of your videos and i love how you approach the problem, so i was wondering if i could have some help?
I have a 9 week old yorkshire terrier, who apparently favours me as his favourite chew toy, to the point where he is lunging at my face and any other part of me. Ive tried techniques recommended by friends, and some by professionals as well, but he just won't calm down. Its gone from playful nips to painful bites and I'm just a bit stuck on what to do?
Name a better duo then zack and Pupford
Dylan Steiner barkbox lmaoo
How nostalgic. My dog's first walk was like that. Having gross distractions is like omg here we go again.
I just took my dog for a walk outside of the property for the first time, considering everything, he was extremely well behaved, he did get really excited when cars went past, but we're working on that
How long is your leash? How do you "tie" it on your waist?
plus how is the dog supposed to know what to do? this handler has done nothing to shape a heel, not a single sub-task ? if by some miracle the pulling stopped then what? you are left with a dog that has no idea what to do? what I see is a dog who is basically being taught to jump on handsy strangers
It's quite clear that Zak is not the boss in that relationship. He's a soft dad.
Looks like my life with my GSD puppy lol. Even at 16 months old and despite doing the same methods you show here since he was 12 weeks old some days walks are still a failure. Some days they ARE good walks though. Here's hoping we eventually get there. I know large breeds take a while to mentally mature.
Lol! Oh inertia 😍 good video!
