Thank you for being here!! Leave a comment and let us know what you think about this series, and give us your suggestions for future videos!! 🤩
I've never read a book so fast! ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.
Who else already loves this series? I certainly do!
Me too!!
So great.
I do. 100% 😊😁
It's really good subscribed
AWESOME 👏 👏🤗❤️ Zac is AMAZING and so is George he really learns fast👏👏❤️🤗
Pitbulls are super intelligent, just stubborn. They are the child in school that the teacher says is gifted but doesn’t focus 😂😂
I have one and its SO true
That’s not true at all
This is extremely true! My cockerpoo was kind of silly but my boxer pit is so intelligent, the things she learns and picks up so fast, she wows me every day! 🌺🌸
Ha ha. This is a dog who will challenge you for the position of pack leader and use every trick in the book.
its the hunting dogs that are intelligent, pitbull is not a breed but a mix... this is why most pitbulls got some hunting dogs in them, not just mastiffs, and this is why they are smart... comparing a dog with an ADHD child is kinda lame, because that means your dog is just hyper and hyperfocused, which is not a good thing most of the time.
We just adopted a pit bull from the shelter and this is my pup to a "T". This gives me hope that he will be a great dog.
This literally could not have come at a better time. I have two wild pit bull fosters who have had a not so great start to life. They’re sisters, and have had no training so I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me but this is a great reference for me. Thank you!
My mom took in a American pitbull and he has the same energy as George, he is a dark brown and he isn’t trained, but good luck, it’s not easy but it’s worth it.
Goood luck! U got this!
Carefull, you might be these dogs next fictums. Pitbulls are unpredictable.
Train them separately....more work and time but better
Did you have any issues with litter mates syndrome?
"Just look at him. He's an intense-looking dog." George: Big goofy grin, floppy ears, wagging tail.
He should be respected. This type of dog needs owners that are informed on bully breeds.
i wish i could add more like to this comment
I know! He's so cute!
"Just look at him" -
Strong jaw, intense stare, rock-solid muscles.
He is soooooo cute but he is strong and
needless to say deserves a home that can care for him and
treat him like the awesome dog he is.
It would be great to see follow-ups/updates on how Moira and all the shelter dogs that you trained are doing.
Moira's mom posts on Instagram quite often :)

"how is his head this big?!"
*BONK*
"it's like holding a bowling ball"
"with teeth!"
George is a smart dog. He seems easier to train than Inertia.
And inertia’s breed is the smartest dog in the world
@@ificandoityoucandoit6948 yea but they are harder to train
@@ificandoityoucandoit6948 That inherently makes a dog harder to train.
@@jeepmanxj no it doesn’t, there are several factors that go into training difficulty, higher intelligence makes dogs easier to train but there are other factors like eagerness to please and breed specific instincts. so although one dog may be smarter than another they may be harder to train if those other aspects don’t line up.
I think it might be the fact that Inertia started as a young puppy. It took a while for her to get into the groove. By the time she was 7 or 8 months, she picked new things up very fast, too. Mad props to both of them, absolutely. They're so bright.
Loving this series a lot, but also would love to see the opposite kind of dog for the next one: small, shy and not play driven.
Great idea!
This! I just got a pitbull who is the sweetest thing in the world. So friendly, calm, gets along with everyone and everything. My in-laws have a little dog who is so afraid of him even when he isn't near him in the room. We would love more hands on to help. Videos on general training aren't cutting it. We have tried so much to the point meds are almost the next step.
@@natalieJe10 hire a professional trainer in your area. Keep in mind that some dogs are not compatible with each other and there may not be much you can do.
@@natalieJe10 A veterinary behaviourist will tell you if he could benefit from medication or not.
Yes please! That would be interesting. Would love to see how you build a shy dogs confidence.
I won't be surprised if you end up adopting George from what I've seen from you instagram 😍😍it's obvious you are attached to him a little too muchhh 😭❤❤
I truly hope he does, George really deserves a human like Zak! Edit: Can't wait too see what happens in next episode!
Yes adopt him!! He belongs in your pack!!
Guys, you can't adopt every foster 😜
He IS so special though.
@@PromisedJubilee okay and? 4 of my dogs are foster fails
I’ve had every breed since I was a kid. German Shepherds, Dobermans, Labradors…But once I became a mom to a Pitbull, I never went back. We had our first one when I was pregnant with my son, and now 23 years later, I’m doing Canicross with my best and big 64 pound brindle Pit, Lexa!💜 They are the sweetest and am glad that this series is one more opportunity to inform and educate. They’ve been discriminated against long enough.
Ooh what is Canicross?? My pitbull pups have gotten me back into exercise and I want them to experience as many cool things as possible!
Canicross is when your dog pulls as you run! It’s great fun and exercise. Zach should give a try!
One day your pit will turn on you - and you will be done.
@@chucky387y Nostra señora!!!¨😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agree. My neighbor fostered dogs (90% pit bulls), and I would often walk the dogs. She moved away. It wasn’t 2 weeks later that I was at the pound to adopt a dog. Of course I brought home a pit bull.
Pitbulls are LIFE! As a trainer, I specialize in Pitbull type dogs and absolutely love them. So smart, loving and kind. Thank you for doing this series and thank you for working with rescue dogs.
Pitbull is not an umbrella term do your research and you'll know like look up cobly bloodline and jeep bloodline and many more bloodlines those are real American pitbull terrier
You can not tell us there isn’t a chemistry between you two. I can feel it through the screen and I can’t stop smiling.
Can't help crying everytime I see Zak George cry because he fell in love with the dog :') so touching ! Love this series, it's awesome seeing how much you can do with positive training.
Same!!
Zak has explained the variations to ‘stay’ training in other videos but seeing the actual ‘stay’ training of George here was so helpful, I realized I’ve been inadvertently combining stay with distance AND time and it’s too much to ask at first.
I dont have a dog, but when I saw series with Moira I started watching Zak's videos literally as a nerve therapy. They are my reward after a long day😀
My favourite part of this episode was definitely seeing Indy and Inertia interact with George. Seeing George and Inertia playing together was so nice!
I loved how you advocated for pitbulls like that. They are THE BEST ever ❤️
Uh oh, this is gearing up to be a foster fail! He's exactly the kind of dog a training enthusiast loves. Intelligent, drivey, people-focused!
Thank you so much for teaching how to properly use a toy as currency while training! Using toys as currency randomly during casual playtime has been absolutely life changing with my dog's impulse control and working on reinforcing tricks/behavior in non-training environments!
"It's like our training didn't work at all" is a classic sentence I say about once a week with my pit puppy. He's very smart but veryyyyy stubborn! Loving this series :)
Can you talk about how you decided on George? Were you specifically looking for a pit bull type dog? A male? A certain age? So sad that they all can't be given another chance. Thanks for saving his life.
I wish shelters had more dog trainers to help the animals with transition as opposed to choosing to euthanize them. I also wish I could hire Zak to train trainers to be high caliber trainers like him so they can concentrate on helping with the animals’ transitions. I wish I lot, huh? 🐾🐕🐱🐈🐶🐕
I agree these dogs are great they need to have a chance in life to to be judged if they are trained correctly in the right hands their great pet dog
In the first video he mentioned that part of his reasoning was that adopters would continuously be interested in George but when they met him and saw how intense and forward he was they would change their mind. So I think he wanted a dog that clearly had a desirable personality (friendly, outgoing, energetic) but could use some behavior modification to become a better fit for families.
I love george! He's so cute and curious. I love how he wags his tail when you call his name. I hope you keep him. He's so excited for everything!! Lots of love :)
Only trainer that I like watching! Everything that he teaches works for all the dogs I’ve trained. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼
Zack, he has a home, YOURS, keep up the good work.
George is brilliant. Both of them.
Will always make me laugh! "This is George...no relation" hahah
If he adopts him, his name will be George George. 😂
Hands down one of the BEST 'real training' series out there! SUCH a good job. You both are a breath of fresh air and inspiring. I hope you keep him!!
Some thoughts: 1) First of all, Indy is EVERYTHING that is good and perfect. She gave her own input on the Training of George and it was brilliant. 2) Love how you are protective of Inertia’s sensitivities, yet the Pibble realized that Border collies don’t ever get tired (at least not before they tire out everyone else in the environment!). 3) I love your openness about your own mistakes, thank you for being vulnerable on the often-little-forgiving internet, and remember as you said no dog is a robot or machine, nor is any person- I love that you “forgive” your own mistakes too that is so healthy to continue. Well done on this series, you’ve drawn me in as this has been fascinating! Am a long time watcher, follower and fan, but George’s journey has been especially poignant.
Wow, he’s smart and a fast-learner! I have a pit/boxer rescue and I’ve never seen a dog work harder in training. George is a hard worker too!
My family fosters so I know that heartbreak when they leave. We adopted one of them and he is a pit bull type too and is just like George in so many ways! This is going to be so helpful! Love the series already ❤️
WONDERFUL! Thank you SO much for live, hands-on training with an untrained dog. I've watched so many videos of training sequences using already-trained dogs ... we ALL want to know what to do when the dog glances our way, then trots off to do whatever the heck (s)he wants!!
Glad it was helpful!
Is it just me or does anyone else hope Zak adopts him into the family!! I would die 😍
A lot of dogs that are adopted are mixed with the pitbull bread...so I'm sure this series is going to be very helpful for a lot of people.
This is such a great series and great timing. We just started fostering a 4 year old pit female who seems to have basic obedience in the house. I can get her to focus on me and do pretty much anything I ask. Outside is a disaster. She does not listen at all! She's also a door dasher and will not stop ot come at all. I am only on episode 2, so I hope you talk about getting the stubborn girl to listen during this series.
Absolutely love this dog and this season (of George) these dogs are seen as “monsters” it’s just so sad. We had ours in the yard with us and he walked up to the fence to say hello to someone walking passed and they ran away from him 😢
Right there’s no question you are keeping this amazing doggy!! 🥰❤️
They are no more dangerous than any other big powerful dog if not cared for in the right way. In fact, as someone who been in the dog world for a long time, pitty-type dogs are more often than not naturally normally the sweetest to people. I have seen pitties who humans have done the worst to lick the face of their rescuers. I do thank you for highlighting these amazing dogs they need all the positive press they can get.
I’m falling in love with this channel. I had so much prejudice regarding the types/situation of dogs being trained before the reality series (not the breeds and not the training methods). Zak is doing such a great job with highlighting dogs with different and unknown history and the work it takes to develop a dog.
I can see the love they have for George… I don’t know if it’s their first pit bull, but Pitties are so goofy, fun loving, and super in tune with their person. I hope you can advocate for dogs like George!
I love gorge he seems so sweet! Also I love your perspective on the “pit bull type”. I really hope you keep him
I just adopted a pitmix 2weeks ago. She had been in the shelter for 200 days. Im so glad i found your channel. And even more happy you did this series.
Actually, I'm liking George's multi-focus abilities. He turned to look at the butterfly, and then the people; but his mental attention was still focused on Zak. To me, this was evident through the fact that George continued to hold the "Stay". His head and eyes turned to the distractions but his body remained with Zak. I truly expect that, by the end of this series, I'll be saying George is an amazing dog. He seems like an absolutely brilliant, playful, lovable dog.
I love this series! I’d definitely in the future like to see one with a more timid dog, I’ve had a couple dogs in my life with separation anxiety or fears and the only way that ever worked for me to calm them was to get them a friend too.
George is so willing to please, he just has too much puppy energy! He's such a happy doggo!
Also you, your channel, and your new format of show are incredible!
You can sell this show to a tv channel. honestly, the quality of the show is so high.
I say this alot and will continue to say it... thank you Zak and Bree for being so patient and a true friend to these beautiful animals..❤️
I am LOVING this series! George looks like my “Noodle-Bug’s” long lost brother! And they were both SO SIMILAR at the beginning! I’m even learning new methods that I can’t wait to use with her! She knows sit, down, stay, up, roll over, leave it, “hunt it up” (find the ______) as well as “tricks” like “Pound it,” which is where you hold your fist out and she bumps it with her nose, and “bang bang!” Is where we “shoot” her with a finger-gun and she plays dead. She also does “Instagram!” where she rolls into her back, all our legs straight up, ears flopped back, with a toothy grin. She plays fetch with my husband, and she also does “cartwheels” (which are more like a flip, but hilarious!)
great series, zak! if you’re ever looking for ideas for your next series, I recommend working with nordic breeds like huskies, shibas, elkhounds… they’re very ‘strong-willed’ & their independent personalities are an absolute joy. as such, certain skills like recall & stay can be much more difficult to attain considering their strong prey drive. would definitely mix up the formula & provide a challenging (yet rewarding) relationship
He's already made so much progress!
I am loving this new series. We adopted a pibble neighborhood dog and she's intense. She's high energy and very friendly.
She can sit and stay, so I tried the "down" command. She did it the second try! (My other two dogs just looked at me as if to say, "I'm sitting. What more do you want?" 🤣 Our Ahsoka is very smart. Thank you so much for doing this series!
"Who pees like that?" That's called the stretch and pee which makes him talented he can do both at the same time. Enjoying the tips so far.
My pup needs a playmate like Inertia that can wear him out.
We used to have a big boy who would do 5he stretch pee. So cute!
My pit mix guy always pees like that and he's 4.5 years old. I've had him since he was a baby at 3 months
I've had 2 male pitbulls who both peed like that. Not sure if it's a pitbull thing but it's common, in my experience.
Its nice to see Bree in your videos! (and the whole fam, inertia and indy)
It is remarkable how happy George looks, and how much he can do, on only DAY TWO!!
No way you gave him up, especially after seeing him with Inertia!
This pitty is like the embodiment of child like innocence and wonder. I really hope he keeps him.
Loving seeing you working with George. You have a real synergy with him. You can see that he is very focused on you even in the short time that you have been working with him. Incredibly helpful dog training information. Thanks Zac!
I took Benji for 2 hour walk today. I had a headcollar and we trained not to pull and honestly he didn't pull so much like usually he pulled once or twice but that's it thanks to you Zak
He's such a great dog, he just has so much energy! I can't wait to see more episodes of his progress.
I’m so thankful for this series. My Ruby is 4 months old pit mix and she is just like George. This is helping me so much to help train her. I’ve used many of your techniques but seeing it with a dog that acts just like her help so much. Ruby is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had. I love my baby pit.
Zak, we need more of this series! Your last series with Moira, the German Shepherd was so amazing!!! Please make more such series!
This series is all I ever wanted. There are challenges to a large terrier (strength and drive particularly) and it's excellent to show how to work with these!
Pit bulls are some of my favorite dogs to work with! I’m a petsitter/dogwalker, and I’ve never met a pit who wasn’t just a big, adorable baby.
My previous dog was a pit mix. She was the sweetest, most empathetic dog. I miss her.
Thank you for giving George his chance! Too many people just don’t know how amazing pits can be with patience and training. He’s going to find a great home because of you guys!
House Hippo is usually used for grey American Bullies (The single breed)...
the most popular term I hear for a APBT is a "giant tongue with a dog and whip (tail) attached to it"...
George is such a smart sweet boy ! It's sad when dogs with this much potential are put in shelters. Loving this ! Thanks Zak and Bri!
I've been waiting all week for this
I am bawling not even 1 minute in.
Thank you so much for working with a Pibble. They have so much strength, energy, and intelligence. So sensitive and sweet. 😍😍😍
You are lovely. Thanks for the love you show for animals. My boy of 14 years recently passed and I’ve been heartbroken but my family got me a puppy. She’s a riot lol. Your videos are very helpful! ☺️💜
This series is amazing! I am happy that Zak is training a pit bull! I love seeing George getting that chance to go to a loving family. I can't wait to see him getting leash training. Wondering if he is leash reactive towards other dogs like my pit bull/am staff mix. And if he is, I would love to see how to Zak will train George so I can pickup a few tips to try.
When my dog was in the shelter he was one of the staffs favorites and would get along with other dogs. But now it's been almost 5 months since we adopted him and is now very picky with which dogs he gets along with. He gets along more with smaller dogs since he's been around them more. But hopefully I can train him to not react out of fear with dogs bigger than him.
Again I love that we see some pit bull representation on this channel!
I never had dogs before and I read articles recommended to not get a pit bull as your very first dog because they can be intense and it's best to have some dog handling experience before getting one. Well, obviously, I defied that recommendation. Yes it was intense to train them. Yes they are powerful. But owning pit bulls has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. They are smart! They are loving! They are great companion dogs! I trained both of my pits to live with my 2 yr old cat which they have never ever done before! took a couple months and now they are all friends. Except my cat doesn't really interact with him which is okay!
I have Staffordshire bull mix pup that looks so much like George and he definitely doesn’t like to ‘let go’ so very interested to watch your next videos. Side note we took our pup on a off road walk yesterday and met another couple with a pup and I mentioned that I watch you and she got so excited cos she has been watching you too!! (We’re in the U.K.) keep them coming zac
So excited to see his progress. Keep this guy Zak!
George is the perfect house hippo! He and Inertia playing made my day :/
That would be a fitting comparison considering that hippo's are actually known to be incredibly aggressive and deadly at times. The ignorance in the pit cult community is truly becoming too much to understand.
Indy reminds me of my nieces dog. Very sweet, but doesn’t let anyone push her around.
@Zak, the progress you're making with George is literally giving me 'goose bumps'.. Simply amazing!
I am so glad to see this! Not quite 2 months ago I brought home a pittie/australian cattledog mix from a shelter where he had been since last June or July. He was not neutered until this last January; he is supposed to be about 3 years old. I think he may be a little younger, but that may just be because he is so UNTRAINED. He is sweet as can be, though there have been a few (fewer than 5) growling episodes, with two snaps; and he allows my cat to be boss.
I have been lucky with my dogs in the past and they have been very responsive to 'training', of course they were much younger. This guy is NOT food oriented unless there is literally nothing else going on, and even sometimes when there are no distractions apparent. I know this is not a forum for telling a story but I am so excited because seeing another similar situation is the first thing to give me real hope. We have had incremental progress (sit and twice he has stayed), but I have literally been in tears, especially since he will still not come reliably: even into the house when he knows dinner is ready. My tears are for him because his timidity seems so fearful and heartbreaking, and they are for me because I fear I will not be able to help either of us.
Anyway, thanks Zak.
I'm learning the most od this series. Zack is explaining everithing patiently and deeply. Love that
We recently adopted a pitbull and we call her our "velvet hippo" she is incredibly shot and sweet but definitely strong. I love that George is the "house hippo". What an amazing breed and dog. Thank you for showing people the wonderful side of the breed.
Pit bulls are the best dogs. Got one from my brother and he is completely in tune with my brothers feelings. It’s amazing
Gosh I love George so much!! Can’t wait to see him improve, such a smart puppy!!
Every series I watch I swear is my new favorite.. then the next series comes along and that's my favorite! thoroughly enjoying George & hope you keep him!
i hope you keep him 🖤🖤🖤
I’m falling in love with George😍 Could only imagine saying bye to him would be hard!
Also, would love to see the total opposite. So a very shy, almost scared dog. Curious and excited to see how you get a dog out of his/her shell❤️
Whenever one of these episodes come out, I get so excited, because you make such entertaining content, while teaching stuff at the same time! That's hard to do!
I hope that you have decided to keep him. So far he seems perfect for Inertia!
George is such a happy soul!!
Thank you for breaking the stigma that pit bulls are bad dogs by creating this series and showing how loving and kind they are. The GOAT dog training channel.
I teared up when you said it was one of the biggest transformations you’ve ever seen. I have a pit bull mix and I’m so happy that you’re doing this series with a pit bull. Break the stigma!
What a smart dog. He's doing awesome
Love this series. My pittbul is doing so well. Any way to teach them to love toys if they aren’t really into it? A video on getting a dog to play with/enjoy toys would be amazing!
Wait what? Adoption!!! 😐
But, I already imaged a name board on your front door that says "Welcome to George and George." 😋
No bad dogs. It's bad pet parenting. I love Zak George and his training methods. It's been eye opening to see training mistakes I've made in the past. Having just adopted a 6 month old Mini German Shepard (I had no idea there was such a thing) I need all the help I can get to ensure I have a well-balanced and happy dog. ♥️♥️♥️
I’m sure you will be able to teach let go, hopefully I can teach my puppy too😀
Imagine seeing Zak George training George
I watched this and started trying training with toys as my dog loves toys. I think that it really is very worth if your dog is willing its definitely quite slow but it creates a stronger bond and builds on a variety of skills
Oh my goodness, am I the only one tearing up watching gorgeous George? He is an absolute star, you can see him working things out and his pleasure when he makes a connection. Love that Inertia has a new friend to play with. You demonstrate brilliantly that with care and supervision dogs of different age , breed and size can form a bond and just enjoy hanging out and playing together. Big thumbs up for Indie 👍who controls all other dogs, plays her own version of chase and is instantly understood by every one, way to go gorgeous girl 💖
Enjoying all your videos and books. Learning so much. Picking out my Cavalier King Charles puppy this afternoon and bringing him home mid July. Feeling organized and confident with your teachings. George seems to fit right in to your family. I think his forever home is with you and Brei. Will stay tuned to find out the decision.
Oh, we already know you are in trouble 😅 George is such a great dog!
I love this series Zak can’t wait for the next episode
This one looks like "the right stuff". Will follow this adventure and whoever gets him (and behaves) should be all good once you're done, and I think it's going to be a quick one.
I was waiting for this video. New subscriber. And George looks like my aunts puppy :)
Loving this series...and my Pit/Dane is watching it also 🤣 makes me feel better seeing the same struggles you have as I did
