Love the new series. Zac can you please help. We have a new puppy, she's biting my son all the time really hard but no one else! I've watched all your videos on biting and jumping up but it's not working.
Very interesting ! It is kind of training in new environments on a higher level . ANd it brings situations where You can't just slow down with simply bringing the dog back to a more familiar environment , You need to react on the situations . That helps many dog owners ( me included ) to act better in certain situations .
Did you guys like the Inertia updates in this episode? How do you think she's doing?? I know some of you have been watching her since she was 8 weeks old!! 🤯
My 1.5 year old dog got out of our yard for the first time (and hopefully last time!). It was about 15 minutes before I realized it and had no idea which direction he could have gone. I walked down the street calling his name and after about 5 minutes (7 or 8 houses away) he came running out of some bushes and straight to me. Your constant reminders of how important it is to always praise when your dog comes was life saving. He thought coming to me was more exciting than his adventure at that point. Thank you!
We have been having so much fun trying to guess Veronica's breed mix!!! Feel free to log your guess below! We'll reveal her breed once one of you correctly guesses the top 3... or maybe sooner or later HAHA!
I like this series. I just finished watching the Chop story and as someone who has been studying canine behavior for over 20 years and is 1&1/2 years into a rehab of a fear aggressive dog, who is a level 4 biter, whos issues were CREATED by improper handling by past owners and past trainers who were uneducated and used aversive methods, I wanted to THANK YOU for clearly explaining in your videos why the aversive methods don't work. There are too many trainers and others in the dog care industry (such as vets, technicians, groomers, shelter workers, etc.) who use methods that actually create aggression and/or escalate it due to lack of training in behavior. THANK YOU for creating this platform to educate!!!!
Thanks for another great video! I love how you guys show us the reality side of dog training instead of being perfect at everything. This way is so much more helpful and makes me feel less incompetent when training my dogs. Looking forward to your next travel stop!
I have been watching your videos for a few months and my 8 month old puppy has progressed so much since I started using your methods! I feel so proud of him so thank you!!
I wasn't sure how I'd like this series when it first started, but I'm happy to say I'm loving it so far. It's good to go on your adventure vicariously and see how the dogs react to the small space. It's also fun to see Inertia being a "real" dog (barking at something she sees). Don't get me wrong, Inertia is wonderful and you've done a superb job training her! But it's nice to see that even the best trained dogs are still dogs--not little hairy robots. Too often, I think people expect their dogs to be just that--little hairy robots who aren't really "dogs".
Definitely. I promise that even the most “trained dogs “still bark when we are trying to relax or do other things! They are definitely dogs! We have to be empathetic and fair to them and let them be who they are!
I’m loving this series so far! It’s really interseting how the dogs behave in this environment. I do have one question tho: how are you going to work on Veronica’s separation anxiety, since you live in such a small space? Thank you, and good luck on you journey!☺️
Yes, I definitely love this whole series. Especially the training about the barking. I have a toy size (11 lb) dog who is a very picky eater. Sometimes he eats the treats, sometimes not. He is allergic to several foods, especially chicken and tuna fish, which narrows down the variety of treats quite extensively. He is a wonderful dog, good with children, and is not aggressive at all. But he gets really excited (not fearful) when he sees other animals and dogs, and he is definitely afraid of big dark things (and people). And he is afraid of statues and other big inanimate objects sticking up out of the ground, like fire hydrants, statues, Christmas decorations, and garden dwarfs. It would be interesting to see if you could train a dog like that to stop barking so much.
Loved this episode! Inertia has turned out so well. It was really helpful to see your challenges with come when called and the bath. It's so easy to get frustrated, so seeing how to approach it with a distracted dog was useful and reassuring. Also the importance of keeping good humor :-)
My puppy just turned 5 months old. I love your videos. They have helped me a lot. I keep thinking of different ways to expose her to different environments. It’s a challenge but she is so good. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for checking us out Zak and Bree! It was really awesome to see and meet you guys, hope you all have an awesome time and we appreciate you for giving us the time of day and the training tips for the pup 🐶🤟🏼!
What a great adventure. This is my biggest dream, travelling in an RV with my dogs. Did I see it right that both your dogs have a gps tracker? Very smart. I'm looking forward to the rest of your trip. Enjoy!!!
Yes you can... I am a disabled single women that lives in a camper trailer with my mix breed large service dog. I am successfully training him in and out of our temporary home. Remember it is a small space they still need a space in or out of the trailer to express the "ZOOMIES". Just KNOW that there WILL be Arguments, and dominance will be challenged at some point. The KEY is exercise, exercise is a must for any dog in training and or a dog that lives in a smaller
What a great series! I appreciate all the detail you are providing. I have an 18-month-old Aussiedoodle I'm continuing to train on come when called. You reminded me of the importance of daily training and always having treats.
I'm lovin 'it! I have a 5 month old BC. I thought it would be easier. But she barks at everything, she gets frustrated when we can't get close to the dogs she sees. But these videos make me have faith that we will understand each other. Thanks!
I had never heard of bath training before finding your channel and consequently our 85 pound dog was never properly bath trained but he does well as long as one of us gets in the tub with him. We do lift him in but he will stay in for treats and pets now. Now I always recommend this channel to new dog owners.
Veronica is doing great coming to you & the bath was pretty good! You & your wife are so adorable together!!!! My Staffie when he was puppy used to bark at the train, I have train tracks about three miles from here!!!!!
Editing and Videography has always been good, but y’all clearly have stepped up your game over time. The jokes, foreshadowing, well-timed shots to coincide with the narration… just excellent
Okay, my final guesses on Veronica's breeds, Duck tolling retriever(maybe), Chihuahua, Papillion(maybe), and Border Collie. I'm so curious to see her embark results.
Duck tolling retrievers are an extremely rare breed. Even more so in Veronica's native Mexico. I would suggest that if you notice that quality as part of her breed mix, it's more likely to be a Golden Retriever.
I discovered your series since adopting our 2 year old Bosnian rescue dog in May (I'm in the UK), but have been watching and learning ever since from your old episodes as well as the new ones. It will take a lot of time to work on Harbie but your positive training is so inspirational as well as entertaining! (I'd watch even if I didn't have a dog!) ^_^
Ive been training my dog for 5 months now❤️❤️ she is 10 months currently and will be a year old in december 22! you inspired me to get a dog and border collie
Yes, the heat in Texas is absolutely exhausting right now. Ugh! I hope you all enjoy your trip cross country. I can't imagine how stressful it must be trying to keep two dogs safe, especially a 2-month-old puppy, while traveling in an RV. Good thing your furry children have two amazing teachers! 😍
I was so lucky. The first time I bathe my Frenchie/Boston puppy, she was about 12 weeks old. Like you were doing, I trickled the water and she started drinking from it. I put the stopper in the sink to fill it about an inch, but she plopped right down in it and started rolling around. Now, when she hears the bath running, she jumps into the water and starts playing like crazy. Never an issue with baths. Nail clipping is another matter 😊.
Great and awesome tips on training and bathing! Very good to do it slow and steady method then everything so fast. Great job you both! P.S what a cool looking camper!
Thank you Zak! We are getting a puppy in August and just used your code to get our first pup box. Came out to $5.30 for the first month so we are beyond happy! Our dog’s name will be pancake so we are hoping for a food themed box!
Another terrific video about ya’ll’s road trip. I think the dogs are doing well under the circumstances. BTW, I’m watching from Hammond, Louisiana. 👋🏻 Fun series!
So hey, when I want to create attention I use a separate sound (I make a crow Caw instead of whistles) and a yes! I don't use name because I find names in really distracted times is less consistent than a specific sound. It has always worked for me. Currency for pups yes food toys, but remember affection too...Maggie is very affectionate. 🥰
We have a Sol Horizon as well! We bring out 3 yr old German Shepherd with us. We have a barking issue too when other dogs walk by. It is a challenge for sure. Happy travels!
She’s doing great. Our Bandit will alert us if our Heidi is upset because someone shot off a fire cracker and we didn’t hear it. He doesn’t like when she’s upset. I will get up to check on her. Also, he hears noises outside like deer in the yard or some other animal. I get up to check and see nothing. I tell him no barking and recover him. He likes to sleep under his blanket. Usually, the animal hears him and runs off.
I hope you take the time to really appreciate your new lifestyle. To me after 20 years in my Motor Home I could never go back to a permanent address. My Service Dog loves the adventures in RV life too. Good job Bree. You and adorable Veronica are going to have an amazing connection. In the last several videos since you have gotten Veronica it appeared as though Inertia wasn't getting much attention. So I'm so happy to see Inertia playing frisbee and running and getting all of the love that she needs. it's really awesome to watch her. Enjoy the adventure, see you in the next video. ❤️🐕🐾🚍🌄🐕🐾
I'm really enjoying this series. I really love the rescue dog series but this a nice change of pace. Maybe not forever, but really nice for now. I like the updates on Inertia too. I'm looking forward tp to finding out Veronica's DNA I hate to even venture a guess because I haven't guessed breeds on smaller dogs too often,, but as a really unlikely guess, I'd say maybe she has some Sheltie in her.
Veronica looks like a Border Chigi to me! Or a border collie mixed with a small terrier. but then theres her cute lil chin which makes me think of a pekingese 😆
Hi Zak, do you have any tips on training hard of hearing or deaf dogs? I have a foster that I believe is very hard of hearing or even deaf. She's the sweetest thing and I just want to help her with her manners. 💕 And also do you have any tips on training when there is more than one dog as in 4 total in the home?
Ok, I immediately recognized the bread. She is a variant of the famous American breed, the ultimate, The Pure Bred American Wonder Mut; she’s just a, Pure Bred North American Wonder Mut. Can we have her - we’ll give her a wonderful home!
Do you find clicker training for come when called more useful because you let them know they're doing well in a way that they understand? Or do you find your dogs pick up on "yes" and "good" very fast?
Haven’t watched the DNA vid yet, but I’m guessing min pin, something like a Boston terrier, something with ears like a papillon, maybe some chihuahua… I’ll be interested to see!
Zak, We live in a small neighborhood in the woods and do not have a fenced yard. I want to teach our new Golden pup the yard boundaries in hopes that we can let him walk the yard freely eventually. Do you reccomend a wireless fence and collar that beeps and vibrates, or just old fashioned leash/boundary training or both?
Hi Zak! My dog tends to lunge and growl when startled. We now have an older dog too, who he does this to when our older dog puts any kind of weight on him or startles him in any way. Just wondering if you had any advice for this :)
Well... it's good to know that even a really well trained dog can still do dog things 😂 I always kick myself when my model citizen of a dog has her rough patches.
Zak help! I have a 6 month old, super shy labradoodle. I just received him and need some pointers on how best to socialize such an old puppy. As well as coming when called.
I need help, I got two puppys from the same litter, a male and a female, the female is a week longer with us than the male, and I need tips on *how to deal with a small trouble makers + how to leave them alone for a couple of hours alone at home together*(there 12 weeks old)
Oh god, be very careful. Get two crates, put the new dog in a crate or puppy pen after playing with the puppy to tire it out and then let them sniff and meet through the gate/crate. Let them do this everyday but don't let them meet without a barrier until they are completely calm around eachother, once they meet without a barrier I suggest you muzzle the older dog just in case it tries to bite out of jealousy or dominance (one bite can instantly kill a puppy). You should work on training and socializing your old dog before adding a puppy to the mix, your old dog needs to know that he is not allowed to guard you like you're his/her property.
@@bbycherub2420 I’ve tried training the older dog, however, the person they consider “theirs” is my sister and my sister refuses to help with the situation. She also encourages the behavior.
@@loafofkitkat7504 Oh that isn't good, well you can try to explain to her that you need to train her dog because if not, an accident can happen and her dog can end up killing the puppy which is something to take very seriously. What breed is your sisters dog? Explain to your sister that she can't baby the older dog or praise it for guarding her, it's not guarding out of love, it's guarding because he sees her as his property and doesn't respect her, dogs who guard their owners tend to be the ones who end up attacking their owners because they think they can do what they want because they've never been told not to.
@@bbycherub2420 her dog is a terrier Chihuahua mix of some kind. She keeps snapping and even biting me whenever my sister is around. If the dog isn’t near my sister then the dog is shy and has severe separation anxiety. We have reason to believe she came from a abusive household and she was rescued by my mom from her friend who had taken the dog in. Explaining doesn’t work on my sister, she refuses to listen and says “well how would you feel if you where in its situation” and it’s just ugh. But my puppy is a German Shepherd (9 weeks) and very jumpy, I’ve already started basic training and she is doing very well. But I am terrified of introducing them so me and my puppy have been staying between my room and the garage while my sisters dog has the whole house and we kinda go halfsies on the backyard. I can only train when my sister is at work for her dog but it’s still difficult because of the separation anxiety bit
@@loafofkitkat7504 Oh wow, I'm sorry your sister is like that, I have a few ideas, maybe when your sister is at work you can try to start training her dog a bit or give it some excersise to tire it out? My main advice is focus on your puppy, German Shepherds are a very strong breed that have a very strong bite and can be dominant, start training him right away and start socializing him. Look up "Socialization puppy list" and follow it everyday, start teaching the puppy to not jump and start crate training him. Try to take him for walks after he's got all his vaccines, walks are very important for dogs. You don't have to let them meet yet, but if they meet, there has to be a barrier between them and your sister can't be near her dog because that will trigger her guarding aggression. Give treats to the both of them when they meet, but as long as you focus on your puppy and do things right everything will be fine.
Hi Zak, What are your thoughts on gentle leaders (leash over a dog’s nose)? We foster puppies & our most recent pups went to another agency to be trained service dogs. This agency uses gentle leaders for their service dogs & we have mixed feelings about this. Do they hurt the dog? We usually stick to a harness for our pups. It makes me sad to see these leaders on dogs… Thanks in advance!!
I tried using a gentle leader many years ago on a big German Shepherd I rescued who chased squirrels. And there were a lot of squirrels there. I didn’t like it at all because it pulled against his eye on one side. I later discovered other brands that worked on a similar principle but were better because they didn’t go near the eye. Harnesses have now improved with a front lead attachment so I can use them on a reactive dog and keep on my feet. I would have thought that service dogs would be well trained enough that a head harness style wouldn’t be necessary.
I'm not Zak, but I'll share my opinion on Gentle Leaders. I absolutely LOVE them. I work in Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound rescue. We get in dogs weighing in at 125 to 180 pounds that have never been on a leash and have no idea how to walk properly on a leash. A dog that large can pull even a pretty large man around (much less someone like me--a fairly small woman). We use Gentle Leaders with these dogs and are able to walk them as soon as they are desensitized to the Gentle Leader without any problem whatsoever. The ONLY downside I've found about the Gentle Leader is that you do have to desensitize them to wearing the head halter first. You can't just "slap it on" and go. You really want to create a positive experience with the head halter. Take the time to do that and you'll really love it. There are several "brands" and our favorite is the Gentle Leader Brand (don't like the Halti as well--maybe that's just because we started out with the Gentle Leader are got used to it and the Halti just felt strange and alien, almost to us; others love the Halti). My favorite tutorial on how to desensitize a dog to a Gentle Leader is from Jean Donaldson: ruclips.net/video/1wakterNyUg/видео.html. Good luck!
I'm guessing Veronica's top 3 breeds are: Pomeranian for her size and fluffiness Chihuahua for her size and head shape Border Collie for her markings and mad frisbee skills!
I have watch all of your dog biting videos. My 6 month old chocolate labor puppy bites uncontrollably. every time i take something away from hime he bites me. When he grabs his toys he snaps at them. Half of the time he will miss and bites me. I could use some tips please.👍🏽
What DNA test do you use and trust? Can't wait to see Veronica's results but really want to do this for my new little friend adopted from a local shelter! 🐾😊
What do you think of this series so far?? 🫣
Love it
Love the new series. Zac can you please help. We have a new puppy, she's biting my son all the time really hard but no one else! I've watched all your videos on biting and jumping up but it's not working.
Absolutely loving it .

Perfect!
Did you guys like the Inertia updates in this episode? How do you think she's doing?? I know some of you have been watching her since she was 8 weeks old!! 🤯
I love it!!!!!
Yep I was watching her from her first episode
I loved the updates for Inertia! It’s so fun watching her become a big sister!
I love Inertia. She is wonderful and it’s not just your training. She truly has a very sweet nature.
Yes.. she is such a beautiful dog..x
My 1.5 year old dog got out of our yard for the first time (and hopefully last time!). It was about 15 minutes before I realized it and had no idea which direction he could have gone.

Italian greyhound and pomeranian.
American village dog

Did I see it right that both your dogs have a gps tracker? Very smart.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your trip. Enjoy!!!
I appreciate watching Bree learning how to train Veronica! It's giving me confidence training my two new puppies.
How fun watching the whole family on a trip. Looking forward to seeing your traveling adventures. Bri is absolutely adorable.
Yes you can... I am a disabled single women that lives in a camper trailer with my mix breed large service dog. I am successfully training him in and out of our temporary home. Remember it is a small space they still need a space in or out of the trailer to express the "ZOOMIES".
Just KNOW that there WILL be Arguments, and dominance will be challenged at some point. The KEY is exercise, exercise is a must for any dog in training and or a dog that lives in a smaller
Absolutely in love with how this trip is going so far ❤️ that cute little mess that happened at bath time was perfect 😆.
What a great series! I appreciate all the detail you are providing. I have an 18-month-old Aussiedoodle I'm continuing to train on come when called. You reminded me of the importance of daily training and always having treats.
I'm lovin 'it!
I have a 5 month old BC. I thought it would be easier.
But she barks at everything, she gets frustrated when we can't get close to the dogs she sees. But these videos make me have faith that we will understand each other. Thanks!
I had never heard of bath training before finding your channel and consequently our 85 pound dog was never properly bath trained but he does well as long as one of us gets in the tub with him.

Duck tolling retrievers are an extremely rare breed. Even more so in Veronica's native Mexico. I would suggest that if you notice that quality as part of her breed mix, it's more likely to be a Golden Retriever.
These were exactly my guesses… she’s got beautiful Toller coloration and a sweet little chihuahua face!!!
me too! Probably chihuahua, papillion, and border collie
So glad that we will have an INERTIA update!!!!
I discovered your series since adopting our 2 year old Bosnian rescue dog in May (I'm in the UK), but have been watching and learning ever since from your old episodes as well as the new ones. It will take a lot of time to work on Harbie but your positive training is so inspirational as well as entertaining! (I'd watch even if I didn't have a dog!) ^_^

I love that fact you use a untrained dog not like some other RUclipsrs that say their dog isn’t trained but you can tell they are not.
I was so lucky. The first time I bathe my Frenchie/Boston puppy, she was about 12 weeks old. Like you were doing, I trickled the water and she started drinking from it.

Love that you are going to give us more Inertia!
Great and awesome tips on training and bathing! Very good to do it slow and steady method then everything so fast. Great job you both! P.S what a cool looking camper!
I see some kind of herding breed, like a collie or sheltie, and at least a smidgeon of chihuahua. Can't wait to find out!
Sheltie is a great guess!
Thank you Zak! We are getting a puppy in August and just used your code to get our first pup box. Came out to $5.30 for the first month so we are beyond happy! Our dog’s name will be pancake so we are hoping for a food themed box!
We take our 3 year old cocker spaniel in the motorhome on tours , it’s been really useful seeing how your dogs react to an ever changing environment
Another terrific video about ya’ll’s road trip. I think the dogs are doing well under the circumstances. BTW, I’m watching from Hammond, Louisiana. 👋🏻 Fun series!
Very fun series. We’d like to take RV trips with our dogs. But they are both big 50-70 lbs.
I'd love to see some more training with toys as reinforcement cause I can't seem to get the hang of it for trick training.☺️
You are so brave travelling with a young puppy. Our puppy is three and a half months and so active, not sure I’d cope with her in a caravan
So hey, when I want to create attention I use a separate sound (I make a crow Caw instead of whistles) and a yes! I don't use name because I find names in really distracted times is less consistent than a specific sound. It has always worked for me. Currency for pups yes food toys, but remember affection too...Maggie is very affectionate. 🥰
this is a video i have been NEEDING.

Hello beautiful people Zak and Bree ❤️..so loving this series so far..I love the dog information always but love your humour 🤩😀❣️❣️
Wondering what dog is Veronica a bit much now! Can't wait to find out
She’s doing great. Our Bandit will alert us if our Heidi is upset because someone shot off a fire cracker and we didn’t hear it. He doesn’t like when she’s upset. I will get up to check on her.

I absolutely love you guys!!Thanks for the videos.
You’ve got the same camper as us - we love it!
I hope you take the time to really appreciate your new lifestyle. To me after 20 years in my Motor Home I could never go back to a permanent address. My Service Dog loves the adventures in RV life too. Good job Bree. You and adorable Veronica are going to have an amazing connection. In the last several videos since you have gotten Veronica it appeared as though Inertia wasn't getting much attention. So I'm so happy to see Inertia playing frisbee and running and getting all of the love that she needs. it's really awesome to watch her. Enjoy the adventure, see you in the next video. ❤️🐕🐾🚍🌄🐕🐾

I just got a new puppy and these videos are so helpful! I see a lot of the same behaviorisms from my Checo in Veronica (:
Do you keep your dogs with you while you drive or do the dogs stay in the back? just want to say i think this is the best choice!!
Veronica is the cutest dog in the world.
I like this series
My guesses for Veronica's breed mix are Chihuahua (mostly), Basenji, Cocker Spaniel, German Shepherd, Border Collie, Xoloitzcuintli
Veronica looks like a Border Chigi to me! Or a border collie mixed with a small terrier. but then theres her cute lil chin which makes me think of a pekingese 😆
Hi Zak, do you have any tips on training hard of hearing or deaf dogs? I have a foster that I believe is very hard of hearing or even deaf. She's the sweetest thing and I just want to help her with her manners. 💕 And also do you have any tips on training when there is more than one dog as in 4 total in the home?
Ok, I immediately recognized the bread. She is a variant of the famous American breed, the ultimate, The Pure Bred American Wonder Mut; she’s just a, Pure Bred North American Wonder Mut. Can we have her - we’ll give her a wonderful home!
With my Lab puppy, bathing is 100% not a problem, lol. He actually keeps pretty clean in his pool. I keep the water changed.
I love Inertia!! ❤️❤️
Do you find clicker training for come when called more useful because you let them know they're doing well in a way that they understand? Or do you find your dogs pick up on "yes" and "good" very fast?
I would guess that cutie Veronica could be a chihuahua mix, possible border collie. Can’t wait to find out what she is 😬💕
The thumbnail tho amazing *chefs kiss*
You guys are great with dog
Just started watching. We are a Great Dane home. Would love to see you work with a Dane. Many others would too!
Hello been watching your videos for quite awhile now then decided to get my puppy. A super adorable golden retriever. She's 2 month old any tips?
I enjoy the traning and the travel!
Haven’t watched the DNA vid yet, but I’m guessing min pin, something like a Boston terrier, something with ears like a papillon, maybe some chihuahua… I’ll be interested to see!
Zak, We live in a small neighborhood in the woods and do not have a fenced yard. I want to teach our new Golden pup the yard boundaries in hopes that we can let him walk the yard freely eventually. Do you reccomend a wireless fence and collar that beeps and vibrates, or just old fashioned leash/boundary training or both?
Love this series ❤️
I was waiting so long for a new video😮💨
Hey Zak Gorge , I am a huge fan! Can u make another video of extreme dog pulling my
Dog pulls a lot. So plz do make an dog pulling vid.
How adorable! What kind of dog is Veronica? Thanks
what brand is veronicas harness? loved the video
Hi Zak! My dog tends to lunge and growl when startled. We now have an older dog too, who he does this to when our older dog puts any kind of weight on him or startles him in any way. Just wondering if you had any advice for this :)
Well... it's good to know that even a really well trained dog can still do dog things 😂 I always kick myself when my model citizen of a dog has her rough patches.
What brand of harness is Veronica wearing? I have a small puppy who does not like her over the head safety harness. Thanks!
Zak help! I have a 6 month old, super shy labradoodle. I just received him and need some pointers on how best to socialize such an old puppy. As well as coming when called.
I need help, I got two puppys from the same litter, a male and a female, the female is a week longer with us than the male, and I need tips on *how to deal with a small trouble makers + how to leave them alone for a couple of hours alone at home together*(there 12 weeks old)
How would you say is the best way to go about introducing a new (and very jumpy) puppy to an older and resource (and people especially) guarding dog?
Oh god, be very careful. Get two crates, put the new dog in a crate or puppy pen after playing with the puppy to tire it out and then let them sniff and meet through the gate/crate. Let them do this everyday but don't let them meet without a barrier until they are completely calm around eachother, once they meet without a barrier I suggest you muzzle the older dog just in case it tries to bite out of jealousy or dominance (one bite can instantly kill a puppy). You should work on training and socializing your old dog before adding a puppy to the mix, your old dog needs to know that he is not allowed to guard you like you're his/her property.
@@bbycherub2420 I’ve tried training the older dog, however, the person they consider “theirs” is my sister and my sister refuses to help with the situation. She also encourages the behavior.
@@loafofkitkat7504 Oh that isn't good, well you can try to explain to her that you need to train her dog because if not, an accident can happen and her dog can end up killing the puppy which is something to take very seriously. What breed is your sisters dog? Explain to your sister that she can't baby the older dog or praise it for guarding her, it's not guarding out of love, it's guarding because he sees her as his property and doesn't respect her, dogs who guard their owners tend to be the ones who end up attacking their owners because they think they can do what they want because they've never been told not to.
@@bbycherub2420 her dog is a terrier Chihuahua mix of some kind. She keeps snapping and even biting me whenever my sister is around. If the dog isn’t near my sister then the dog is shy and has severe separation anxiety. We have reason to believe she came from a abusive household and she was rescued by my mom from her friend who had taken the dog in. Explaining doesn’t work on my sister, she refuses to listen and says “well how would you feel if you where in its situation” and it’s just ugh. But my puppy is a German Shepherd (9 weeks) and very jumpy, I’ve already started basic training and she is doing very well. But I am terrified of introducing them so me and my puppy have been staying between my room and the garage while my sisters dog has the whole house and we kinda go halfsies on the backyard. I can only train when my sister is at work for her dog but it’s still difficult because of the separation anxiety bit
@@loafofkitkat7504 Oh wow, I'm sorry your sister is like that, I have a few ideas, maybe when your sister is at work you can try to start training her dog a bit or give it some excersise to tire it out? My main advice is focus on your puppy, German Shepherds are a very strong breed that have a very strong bite and can be dominant, start training him right away and start socializing him. Look up "Socialization puppy list" and follow it everyday, start teaching the puppy to not jump and start crate training him. Try to take him for walks after he's got all his vaccines, walks are very important for dogs. You don't have to let them meet yet, but if they meet, there has to be a barrier between them and your sister can't be near her dog because that will trigger her guarding aggression. Give treats to the both of them when they meet, but as long as you focus on your puppy and do things right everything will be fine.
When I feed our dog, I make her sit and stay. Once I place the food down I use the "Come" command. I'm thinking that it is helping.
Super helpful
What kind of frisbee do you use?
I have a spotify membership, so i can download playlists to play on my speaker devices so outside noises are impossible to hear.
Hi Zak, What are your thoughts on gentle leaders (leash over a dog’s nose)? We foster puppies & our most recent pups went to another agency to be trained service dogs. This agency uses gentle leaders for their service dogs & we have mixed feelings about this. Do they hurt the dog? We usually stick to a harness for our pups. It makes me sad to see these leaders on dogs… Thanks in advance!!
I tried using a gentle leader many years ago on a big German Shepherd I rescued who chased squirrels. And there were a lot of squirrels there. I didn’t like it at all because it pulled against his eye on one side. I later discovered other brands that worked on a similar principle but were better because they didn’t go near the eye. Harnesses have now improved with a front lead attachment so I can use them on a reactive dog and keep on my feet.
I would have thought that service dogs would be well trained enough that a head harness style wouldn’t be necessary.
I'm not Zak, but I'll share my opinion on Gentle Leaders. I absolutely LOVE them. I work in Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound rescue. We get in dogs weighing in at 125 to 180 pounds that have never been on a leash and have no idea how to walk properly on a leash. A dog that large can pull even a pretty large man around (much less someone like me--a fairly small woman). We use Gentle Leaders with these dogs and are able to walk them as soon as they are desensitized to the Gentle Leader without any problem whatsoever. The ONLY downside I've found about the Gentle Leader is that you do have to desensitize them to wearing the head halter first. You can't just "slap it on" and go. You really want to create a positive experience with the head halter. Take the time to do that and you'll really love it. There are several "brands" and our favorite is the Gentle Leader Brand (don't like the Halti as well--maybe that's just because we started out with the Gentle Leader are got used to it and the Halti just felt strange and alien, almost to us; others love the Halti). My favorite tutorial on how to desensitize a dog to a Gentle Leader is from Jean Donaldson: ruclips.net/video/1wakterNyUg/видео.html. Good luck!
Loving these.👏👏😍
That song reference made me think that Zak is a fellow Gen-Xer 🙂
Do they fight? How do you keep them from doing that?? Thanks.
Please suggest me, I have three puppies and they are 7 weeks. What start train my puppies and they put together same creat?
Do you have training tips on low energy and unmotivated puppies?
I have a recuse pit corso mix. He’s 9 months and already 50 pounds. Need help as to undoing this 9months of bad habbits
I'm guessing Veronica's top 3 breeds are:
Pomeranian for her size and fluffiness
Chihuahua for her size and head shape
Border Collie for her markings and mad frisbee skills!
I have watch all of your dog biting videos. My 6 month old chocolate labor puppy bites uncontrollably. every time i take something away from hime he bites me. When he grabs his toys he snaps at them. Half of the time he will miss and bites me. I could use some tips please.👍🏽
I just moved and now my puppy is pee everywhere he didn’t pee and used pads at old place now he won’t? Have any tips or advice
we have a toy terrier schnauzer. same traits and jestires so imwould say toy terrier plus?
My guess for Veronica's breed is a mix between Chihuahua and Red Tri mini australian shepherd
did the cat come along for the trip, I don't remember hearing her mentioned?
No. She is staying with grandma! She doesn’t enjoy traveling like the rest of us.
What DNA test do you use and trust? Can't wait to see Veronica's results but really want to do this for my new little friend adopted from a local shelter! 🐾😊
chiuahha, bernese mountain dog, golden retriever, supermutt
