Why don't you show up to his seminar and show him how to do it? He has offered fo you to come on.
Because he wants the publicity not to actual learn.
I'd love to see this guy try to use his methods on some of the fear aggressive dogs that de Oliveira works with!! Seriously. If you train your dogs from puppies to be well socialized and you are a calm, assertive person who understands the way dogs see the world you'll be fine; but if you're trying to change the behaviour of a dog who has been poorly raised with clueless owners Zak's methods will get you nowhere.
because he cant do it. He is shit scared of these dogs as most people are who have little to no experience.
Just a honest question to you "Dog Daddy" , Augusto :
Where is the video (that you yourself posted!) When you were working in a group outside where the agressive dog you were holding and handeling, grabbed the other dog by the throat...?? (Bc you got to close to the other dog and didnt pay attention)
If you're a true honest person, send the link please 😉 (yes it was your own video and posted it yourself)
A whoopsie when you were trying to train one dog by walking back and forth and in the turn the dog you were handeling at that moment grabbed another persons dog.
Cant imagine you dont remember that one 😅
STILL NO ANSWER FROM DOG DADDY LOSER
Oh wait he is a drunk, an addict, maybe he did forget
Oh no, bc he didnt forget to delete it even though he posted it himself LOL
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
I would rather have my dog go through a minute of discomfort than a lifetime of anger, stress, fear and unhappiness. Its a torture against dogs to leave them in such a mental state. Millions of dogs saved from balanced aversive trianing.
YES!!! Amen to that! And couldn't agree with you more!
does childrens aid society say one time kids discomfort is ok or are they on u
@@TheConspiracyTherapist805
This right here. Especially when the alternative for so many of these dogs is to literally be put down
The only difference is that they'll still live in fear and anger afterwards, they'll just hide it better
@amxzingseries1848 No, they don't. Have you seen them dogs years later. Complete transformation. No aggression, anxiety, etc.
Zac George organising negative consequence protests to correct Dog Daddy’s unwanted behaviours is the hilarious contradiction I’m totally here for.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
😂 I like it. Zak needs to use positive reinforcement to deal with dd behaviour.
Haha underrated comment
@@joshymana6411, I second that!
oh the irony
That's not negative reinforcement tho, that's getting him out of the way. No need to train someone you don't wanna keep around in the first place
As a dog owner for decades, I think there is always more than 1 way to train a dog.
Ofcourse there are multiple ways and Augusto is always open about his multiple methods and how the shorts don't capture the full 3 hour class. That said, Zak George has no method for training the very aggressive dogs.
There are many ways to train a dog, but abusing a dog is not the moral choice.
Who's abusing dogs? You assume lots while knowing little about what he does and how he does it. Just like Zak. I think this is more about Zak's youtube views than actual dog training.
@@billharding8411 Purposely provoking a dog and choking it is animal abuse.
Waiting for Zaks training of a hard to control dogs instead of training puppies.
You have more videos in the last 6 months on other dog trainers then your own dog training methods ……
😂 because he doesn't produce the same results for family dog owners.
There's a reason for that. He basically only trains his own border collie which isn't even well trained after several years. Just a case of a fake dog trainer going after a real one who is actually saving dogs lives and answering the call of desperate owners around the world.
People who drive witch hunts and virtue signal like this are quite often the worst people of all.
💯
@@kevj9589he must’ve snitched DD when he went to Australia 😎🚬
@@jdrankwalter😂😂😂
Robert Cabral said well: There is big difference between "correction" and "fysical punishment". And dog needs sometimes corrections. Dog Daddy is using only corrections.
Ty
Have you been to his seminar ?
I feel like its still not been explained what he has done wrong.
Literally gave dogs trauma??
@@amxzingseries1848 maybe gave snowflakes trauma. The dogs are better than ever.
EXACTLY.
Do you get it though? Unless you have been the owner of a human aggressive dog, then you have NO idea how hard, exhausting, and embarrassing it is. You can say you do, but you don't. It is an everyday STRUGGLE. The dog daddy doesn't "punish" these dogs, he makes them face their fears and desensitizes them to their triggers and corrects their anxiety as opposed to nurturing it. I have used only positive reinforcement techniques on my German Shepherd for over 3 years and he is still reactive to humans. After 1 class with the dog daddy, my dog was able to be pet by strangers; strangers were able to shake my hand with my dog sitting by my side; and Simon (my dog), had a HUGE smile on his face. He was the HAPPIEST and calmest he's ever been. "The underlying issue" is fear with most aggressive dogs--the DD allows the dog to face their fears, and then the dog is shown that there's nothing to actually be afraid of, which is why they then calm down, not because they are being "shut down". He desensitizes dogs to their triggers. By allowing a dog to be reactive and doing nothing, or taking that dog "out of the environment" only reinforces that they SHOULD react that way or run away and be afraid--it is automatically reinforcing that aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs do need a simple leash correction. The dog whisperer also uses leash corrections and tells his client's not to nurture their anxiety and they need to face their fears head on, why isn't he attacked online? Just because the DD is a little bit more "in your face" about it, doesn't make him abusive. I also got to see the DD's personal dogs in the class and they are happy, amazingly well behaved dogs. The DD does use positive reinforcement too. Once the dog is in a calm state, the DD takes their muzzle off and pets them. We were advised against shock collars. We were advised to pet our dog when they react to a person or dog well. We were advised to use leash corrections when our dog gets triggered--not be aggressive--but correct their unwanted behavior. My dog quite literally had one of the best days of his life because he wasn't afraid anymore. I've watched several of your videos on the dog daddy now, and you only show clips from the beginning stages of the DD's class--the classes progress to a pack walk once the dogs are calm; we are able to have our dogs get pet by strangers which is a WONDERFUL opportunity if you own a human aggressive dog like myself; and it literally saved my baby from being euthanized.
As a Balanced dog trainer, Former police K9 handler, and dog lover thank you so much for spreading this message! You're amazing and you're an awesome caretaker of your furry friend. Proper training is so so important and as you said there are absolutely dogs that required a balanced training method. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. So good for people to hear this.
Exactly! He''s using selective clips to attack DD at the first stage of taking the leash with dogs that don't trust and want to eat him alive bc they aren't trusting him as their handler yet and he proves every time that the dogs really want to be confident and lead by a handler who makes them feel safe. Also these two are using "science" and "psychology" as weaponized terms to discredit DD. Shameful and petty if you ask me. DD is humane and loves dogs, otherwise he wouldn't be doing it the way he is and I think this guy is in it for the money and he is jealous and threatened by DD's success story in my opinion. It's pretty evident that Zak is selective with which dogs he works with to make his own videos and this isn't anything more than a YT war he's started with a guy who wasn't trying to focus on him at all. It reminds me of the way we see political youtubers on each side doing nothing but attacking each other for content. Like they watch each other's channels just to have content as they talk about the other. This feels very much the same as that.
Zak needs to meet DD and take his challenge for the $50K that DD has offered him to meet up and prove his methods on the same type dogs that Zak doesn't get to pick and choose. (Though if he really believes what he is shoveling out he would not take the money and just accept the challenge). 'Doesn't matter if takes Zak longer, if he really believes his methods are better then I don't see DD having a problem with documenting it with a dog that he is given at the meeting, as long as it is on the level and Zak isn't allowed to edit and DD should be present during the sessions while he works to prove himself with a 110 pound aggressive dog that came with a muzzle and an owner who is at the end of their rope desperate for help, for instance.
FTR I have applied some of DD's and Ceasar's methods and they have worked with my 110 pd 2 year old GS Rudy. I see no problem, we are happy and he goes everywhere with me behaving well with me now, but I still have work to do on meeting other strange dogs and people.
Thank you for sharing your story! These people that spread hate for DD do not understand what it takes to work with aggressive dogs. Zak won't but yet they praise him. For what? Bullying a young man that is actually saving lives of these dogs and their owners.
@@standandfight5573 100%
If it saves a dog from being put to death, it's the lesser of the two evils. Most of these people said, they had tried a number of trainers with no success. JMO
EXACTLY!!
Yep. A lot of people seem to forget that using DD’s methods are usually a last resort because they’ve exhausted all other options. And in the end, it’s way better than having to end its life.
Putting people's lives at risk is not a better solution. This makes the dogs even worse bite risks.
@@GoldenWolf248 have you even watched Augusto? He's literally doing the opposite saving people from getting bit and he's not resorting to shock collars like many lazy trainers.
@@ComeHere-KittyKitty there are other more humane ways to go about training an aggressive dog.
Zak since your the best trainer in the world with the best methods can u show up to dog daddy’s seminars and train the aggressive dogs so the owners can see that there are better ways there is no other way to prove your point!!!
Nope he can't train shit
He'd never do it.
No, he can't train these dogs
Love this idea 😂
ZAC you are just jealous because you can't help the dogs like he can. I have trained my gentle poodle, my pit bull and my German short hair pointer with his methods with wonderful results. None of his methods require any roughness❤❤❤❤❤ you need to become informed. Your clips are of dogs that he is training that are trying to bite him and he is just showing them that he is the leader. Your techniques may work with a few dogs but it is irresponsible too say they will work with all dogs. I am a licensed behavioral psychilogist by trade and see no issues with his training. He is the biggest dog lover I have ever met in person.
Seems like Zak is losing it mentally. And possibly physically also from his appearance. He's really got his panties bunched up over Dog Daddy. And he even seems envious and jealous of Augusto for some weird reason. Take a break Zak. The world won't stop turning. This is going to eat you up.
lol, so much so for the growing eyeline.
I thought the same…
Threatened or Aroused? Hmm😮
He's probably just responding to his attraction to dog daddy. Come on out of the closet dude
I am a behavior psychologist by trade and am extreme dog lover. I have seen the dog daddy in person and he is NOT abusing these dogs. The dogs end up following him around like puppy dogs because they have not been hurt, and they respect him. Anybody who has a problem with him are seeing altered videos and have never seen his work in person. I have a pitt bull, a standard poodle and a pudel pointer, all have been gently trained and run to me when the see their prong collars because they do not hurt And they know they are going for a walk. I've put one on my arm and pulled hard, it doesn't hurt. Zac and his protestors need to see his work in person before they can make such accusations!!!!!
Have you Put it around your Neck and pulled? Have you pulled from behind?
It's interesting how in Zac's videos Dog Daddy clips are sped up and look harsher because of that. I can't help but to suspect there is a personal issue between Zac and Dog Daddy here. All the long-term issues that Zac raises as concerns, have they actually happened with Dog Daddy's dogs that he has helped?
@@That_one_witchy_guy You don't get it. If you never had need for using one on a large breed that has been bred as working guard dogs or for pulling then you obviously don't understand the premise and how pressure is actually applied when placement is done correctly. It's not meant to cause pain and you don't have to use it that way when placed correctly. if it slips down around the shoulders they will pull against it and still large breed dogs don't really feel what you think. The ends are dull. We aren't talking about yanking around a Yorkie on a prong collar. Even the Dog Whisperer uses a slip choke collar on the dogs he works with that are small to medium sizes. The prong collar is only meant to direct and correct, if someone is yanking and having their dog pulling against it the whole time they are using it wrong and don't have it placed right. There are people DD has worked with who wouldn't walk their dogs due to using harnesses that their large breeds would pull them with the whole time so they couldn't enjoy the walk with the dog pulling them down even, especially when reacting to other dogs or people, so they gave up. With the prong collar placed right and some instruction on how to use it correctly DD helped people start walking their large breed dogs again and eventually you don't need it when they are behaving out of habit and consistency. No one is trying to hurt our pets using a prong collar, we are trying to build a more healthy relationship that we can trust our large breed pets are going to respond to and ultimately behave with confidence so at some point it isn't needed. We want to trust our dogs aren't going to be a liability to others and for them to trust us so they follow commands and will be calm and confident. I had my doubts at first with my two year old German Shepard bc of all the people who want to complain about it and don't understand it's use, but after watching DD and taking those pointers I have since changed my mind and gotten great results with my very large GS.
Zach has taken the videos of Dog Daddy out of context. He ONLY works with AGGRESSIVE, (fearful) dogs that are on their last chance before being euthanized or recommended to be put down by vets, shelters and other trainers. He is not showing training sessions of working with your little FLUFFY or the sweet but untrained dogs that ZACH GEORGE works with! I want to see one of Zachs videos where he works with this type of dog. If you only watch the EDITED vids from Zach, you will not get what is happening!
Couldn't agree with you more!
I don't think it's punishment to give a dog a yank when it's acting like an idiot. Whether it's scared, anxious, whatever.... if you act like an idiot, there will be consequences. The solution is not to give dogs that have aggression a treat because you think it will build trust. No. Showing your dog that you are the leader, the boss, the protector is how you build trust. I think different methods can work for different issues and breeds. However, some dogs need a heavy hand.
What happens when you can’t give it treats atm? ENABLING THE BEHAVIOR.
Ty
Agreed. In the dog world, when I dog grossly mis-behaves they aren't gentle or human with each other. Too often we try to treat dogs like humans. They are not.
And the dogs he is more physical with a large very strong dogs.
I think your videos are great, zac! But dog daddy is awesome! I would take my dog to him any day of the week!
Same!!🎉
Me too!
Thank you Zak. I really appreciate you speaking up for the welfare of dogs and the safety of their guardians and the general public.
No problem Emily! We’re having a blast! Thank you too!
So you just would rather all these poorly trained owners kill their dogs? Cool. You support mass killing of dogs.
Zak is having a blast in his fight to wipe out a bunch of dog breeds on this campaign.
@@jdrankwalter your life must be miserable. I promise you your life will be better when you adopt a positive attitude, and use that with your dogs.
@@zakgeorge replying here for you as its a quiet thread. Did you know that DD has left rental properties full of animals bones like a graveyard. Multiple species, dogs horses sheep/goats etc.
Love to see how you train an aggressive dog.
he has a short about this but i would like to see how he trains a dog that doesnt like him-- because if dogs become aggressive in certain situations he just builds them up to it and that's why you don't see tons of aggressive behavior
but i havent seen him train a dog that seems super wary of him himself
@@raynes2441 and you never will because he won't do it. But he will complain about the trainers that CAN do it! Really really don't care for this guy and what he is doing to Augusto. If Augusto was abusing animals he would be in jail. Yet he has NEVER been arrested for ANYTHING his entire life. Zak needs to stay in his lane and continue training the cute lil puppies and leave the super aggressive ones to Augusto because his training actually WORKS. The proof is in the pudding. Talk to any one of the dog owners he has trained and they will tell you that their dogs are doing amazing and it's thanks to Augusto. PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!
Why does he have to train aggressive dogs? Zak George is an experienced trainer giving advice to the average pet owner looking for help with simple behaviour problems. He doesn't claim to "specialize" in aggression. The Dog Strangler also doesn't specialize in aggression. He's an animal abuser who overpowers and shuts down a dog until it submits. He's doesn't actually address the causes of the unwanted behaviour nor does he "fix" any issue long term. You've been duped by a goofy-lookng conman who makes short edited clips for social media to attract followers and earn him money. He's not saving any dogs or helping pet owners in any way, he's just taking advantage of them and doing dogs more harm then good.
@@TheConspiracyTherapist805 seems you've fallen for the DD's con game. He's a fraud, period. I will bet you $500 you cannot produce a single video of ONE aggressive dog that DD has "fixed". I don't mean one of his two minute "look at me, im the best" narcissist videos, I mean one that shows a truly aggressive dog at the beginning and completely non-aggressive two months later. You'll never find one.
@@ihelpdogs then he should leave it to the trainers who DO specialize in that. If he doesn't specialize in it then maybe he ought to keep his mouth closed and leave it to the trainers that ARE successful at it. You don't see DD attacking the way Zak trains his cute lil puppies do you? No you don't. Zak is just getting all kinds of likes for making these videos tearing down other dog trainers and it's really gross. Really gross and it will end up hurting him in the end because people are seeing him for who he really is...someone who cares more about likes than he does the dogs because I don't believe he has made a police report for all these dogs he says are being abused....and that's because they aren't!!!
Honestly MOST of us would like to see you work with a very aggressive dog like dog daddy to see if its true that only soft positive reinforcement can help a dog that is literally in its last straw.. i think THEN you would get the support you want. But for now i think i can speak for alot of us that dog daddy does bring solution for aggressive dogs.
Absolutely.......
Are you going to accept the $50,000 challenge where you show Dog Daddy more effective methods of training with the viewers choice of dog breed? I'd love to see that content Zak. Prove us all wrong that purely positive trainers aren't euthanasia specialists. Lets see you save a dogs life who has serious aggression issues. Put your work where your mouth is.
Prove he evaded a court order and didn't pay. These people did not go back to the court of law and get the court to issue an order so they could seize his property when he allegedly didn't pay? That is the remedy in the US. I call bs on their claim to not have received their judgment and they didn't pursue that further in court. If you can't prove it's true then at least say it's alleged.
@@ZaryaTheLaika You might be right about his past but my comment was about the training challenge. Everyone makes mistakes. Why are you deflecting?
@@ZaryaTheLaika I'm not even a huge dog daddy fan myself but Zak is soooo cringe. Zak would never accept the types of dogs that dog daddy works with. Its borderline harassment how Zak is stalking him and taking protestors with him. Zak isn't even Canadian yet hes trying to get the CBSA to ban him sooo cringe. Zak shows his true colours by not accepting the DD challenge. "I won't platform somebody who abuses dogs" excuses. You'd think he would want to do everything in his power to show DD better ways of handling aggressive dogs. Zak knows full well hes going to lose thats why you hear all these excuses.
Exactly
This guy refuses to take on any truly aggressive dogs that need rehabilitation from the pound to get ready for adoption
I've watched many Dog Daddy videos and what is striking to me is how happy and relaxed each dog is after he's trained them. I'm a huge dog lover but I recognise that dogs are not children, and these dogs in particular are dangerous animals that need to be brought into line if they are, not only be safe around humans and other dogs, but also if they are to be contented themselves.
You're confusing appeasement language (dogs basically asking us not to hurt them any more) with happiness. You're confusing a dog in a shut down state with a relaxed one. This probably happens because that's what Dog Daddy is telling you - that guy is not your friend, he's just a dog abuser - may he rot in prison!
And if dogs are those vicious beasts you're describing, we shouldn't keep them around - don't you think?
@@alexsarbu3978 oh please...so you speak dog huh? Where did you go to school for that? The proof is in the pudding and just ask any one of Augusto s clients how their dogs are doing now? I guarantee you that they are happy and their dogs are doing great, they are happy, unafraid and finally content. PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!
@@alexsarbu3978 DO YOU EVEN REALIZE HOW MANY DOGS THAT AUGUSTO HAS SAVED?!? HE GOES TO SHELTERS FREE OF CHARGE AND TRAINS THE DOGS THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO EUTHANIZE BECAUSE THEY ARE UNADOPTABLE. HE DOES THIS FREE OF CHARGE...HE HAS SAVED THOUSANDS OF DOGS AND YOU SAY HE SHOULD ROT IN PRISON?!? YOU ARE NOT WELL. SO IF HE GOES TO PRISON WHICH HE NEVER WOULD BECAUSE HE DOESNT ABUSE ANY ANIMALS BUT IF YOU HAD IT YOUR WAY THINK OF THE THOUSANDS OF DOGS THAT WOULD END UP GETTING EHTHANIZED BECAUSE THE ONLY PERSON WHO WOULD TOUCH THEM IS IN PRISON. BUT YOU GUYS ARE OK WITH THAT RIGHT?!? EUTHANIZE THEM BECAUSE DOG DADDY WILL ABUSE THEM, RIGHT? THATS WHAT YOU ALL WANT. ITS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE WHAT ALL OF YOU ARE DOING WHEN U WOULDNT TOUCH ONE OF THESE AGGRESSIVE DOGS WITH A 10 FOOT POLE! AUGUSTOS RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AND HIS CLIENTS AND THEIR DOGS ARE FINALLY HAPPY AND YOU ALL WANT TO SHUT HIM DOWM. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY DOGS WOULD BE KILLED IF YOU GOT YOUR WAY?!? HOW MANY DOGS LIVES HAVE YOU SAVED FROM EUTHANASIA?!? SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY? BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT AUGUSTO HAS GOT YOU BEAT!!
@@alexsarbu3978 by the way, DOGS WAG THEIR TAILS WHEN THEY ARE HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE....not when they are 'asking someone not to hurt them anymore' ...do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?!? A tail wagging dog is a happy dog!! It's as simple as that. Most of augustos dogs have wagging tails at the end of his videos and many many times they smile and try to give him a kiss, thanking him.
@@TheConspiracyTherapist805 Believing the myth that "DOGS WAG THEIR TAILS WHEN THEY ARE HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE" gets people bitten. "But he was wagging his tail!" - never mind the dog's stiff posture, hackles raised, lips licking and growling. Or, in DD's case, many appeasement signals. Yet you try to mock me with "so you speak dog"?
Dogs wag their tail in many different ways, and for many different reasons. Show me a dog which, after DD's "training", does the helicopter wag - not timid, slow wags with the tails lowered. Tail must move butt - that's a happy wag (typically, not always).
Learn, and avoid getting bitten!
Show up at one of his events and out train him with an audience.
He can't, because real dog training is not done in couple hours. DD is just suppressing unwanted behaviour with outdated methods
@user-ie6lk5wy2v DD has been doing this for years so where are all the people who unhappy with the long term results of his training?
@@MagdaLobato YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY SEE REAL DRAMATIC CHANGE THAT CAN TAKE PLACE VERY RAPIDLY. WHAT IS MORE DIFFICULT IS THE PERMANENT CHANGE THAT WILL REQUIRE CONTINUED TRAINING!!! ZAC HAS NEVER TRAINED A LARGE WILD AGREESIVE DANGEROUS BREED
@@MagdaLobato NOT per the hundreds of families he has helped!!!

I appreciate how professional you are explaining all of this. You’re not attacking this man as a person but explaining how his methods are harmful by stating facts. You’re awesome at what you do. Thank you!
You are so wrong .He is being alpha and calming dogs within 10 to 30 min. And dogs are wagging their tails. He is not abusive
I’d love to see a video of your methods rehabbing a similar case to the type DD deals with. Any you’d recommend ?
Zak has a few series where he trains untrained and sometimes aggressive shelter dogs
@@sarahjames5176 do you have links to go with those?
@@sarahjames5176 he has not dealt with any vicious dog to the degree DOG DADDY has. DOG DADDY helps those dogs that everyone else has GIVEN UP ON, including trasiners, vets and owners. Without DOG DADDYS help those dogs would have either lived a life of hate or euthanized
@@sarahjames5176 Please share a link. Which are you referring to?

Very happy!
No, they're not. Heads bowed, tails tucked, they look terrified of him.
You would have to be blind not to see the success with The Dog Daddy then the owners…..😏
What success? Suppressing dogs, so that they no longer show fear signals, but doing nothing to actually cure the fear?
@@MarketaSovova you're gaslighting
Using the 1st amendment now as well. Zak George you did not get this issue right. Do not judge Dog Daddy so hard. For what I understand it is a little more complex than you express in this video. Not all issues can be fixed with treats and avoidence, even that I agree it is preferable. If a dog has to be put down - the bar for alternative methods goes up a little I think. Espicially if the dog by doing so can be saved.
Great point.
Threatening to put down a dog is purely emotional. Zak is stating facts. There is absolutely no reason to get into the ethical comparison of death and long-term stress / fear when there are people willing to spend money and time to understand their dogs. This is not about "Dog Daddy" but his fans and other people that are getting misguided by him. Yes, there might be one less "trainer" "saving" dogs that are otherwise put down without the "Dog Daddy" but there are millions of people not getting misguided on the other hand. Furthermore, as stated, these "methods" are in no way treating the underlying issue and science clearly proves that it might worsen aggression long-term. So, there might not even be any positive impact on "Dog Daddys" side of the story.
@@ericb8985 One big problem without condoning any training philosophy or ranking it. The science is not there. Nobody made any scientific evidence yet one way or the other. This is a matter of conviction to some people it might even look like a somewhat like a religous conviction. It is not science just because one wants to believe in a certain way just because ones belief system gets confirmed with circumstancial indications. I have done a little research and there is no scientific proof one way or the other. My point is that the subject tends to get too emotional - and both sides should try and see it from the perspective of the other. One indirect point you were making is that some thing has gone wrong before a guy like Dog Daddy is called to fix the issue. That will be me repeating the point of trying to see this from both sides.
@@Vagn-uy9zx I appreciate you trying to find a common ground. However, there is a lot of science out there. Pavlov’s classical conditioning dates back to 1897, Skinner’s operant conditioning to 1971 and there is a lot more when you consider „The comperative Analysis of learning“ (Bitterman 1975) discussing learning for all animals. Comparative psychology is no certain field of research but reading studies on learning of horses, humans and rats surely benefits the understanding of learning of dogs.
Let’s go back to Pavlov and the so-called „Defensive Conditioning“. It states that unwanted stimuli cause undesirable responses such as fears. Furthermore, a previously unconditioned neutral stimulus that always precedes an unwanted stimulus soon also triggers the same response thereby becoming a conditioned stimulus.
In the example of an owner beating their dog, the pain (unwanted stimulus) might cause fear (undesirable response). The owner approaching the dog is, if not already conditioned otherwise, a neutral stimulus and it always precedes the beating. This will soon result in the dog already experiencing fear when their owner approaches as this turns into a conditioned stimulus. As you can see, no further neutral stimulus will ever be able to counter this response long-term as it will ultimately be conditioned to trigger the response itself. The only option to take the fear off the dog is to introduce a stimulus that is already conditioned to a more desirable response (so-called "systematic desensitization"), e.g. offering treats resulting in excitement.
The understanding of classical conditioning changed throughout time as described in „Pavlovian conditioning: It's not what you think it is“ (Rescorla, 1988) and there is a lot more to consider when observing learning.
In our example, the owner approaching the dog with treats can cause either one of the responses (fear, excitement) depending on the maginitude of the stimulus, the aversion to pain, the liking of the treats and many more.
However, there is some more science to consider: „Learning under stress: how does it work?“ (Joels et al, 2006) describes that stress impairs learning unless it is experienced in the context and around a time of event that needs to be remembered, or when the hormones and transmitters released in response to stress exert their actions on the same circuits as those activated by the situation, that is, when convergence in time and space takes place.
A scared and thereby stressed dog is therefore impaired in learning as long as the learning doesn’t focus on the given occassion or the already associated actions (fight & flight). It will have a hard time to learn desirable responses or calm down.
That’s the main reason why trainers like Zak will always try to stay below the „threshold“ triggering the undesirable behavior. Possible ways to improve the chances of a desirable response in our given scenario is to approach slowly, to not approach at all and throw the treats and so on. In the perfect scenario, you won’t ever see the scared responses and therefore think that the dog trainer never faced „really aggressive“ dogs.
Now there is of course a lot more science in psychology and sometimes even the tiniest details matter but the overall consensus with animals alike is that they are best motivated through rewards and that strong emotions skip rational thinking („Thinking, Fast and Slow“, Daniel Kahnemann). From what I have seen, the „Dog Daddy“ does not comply with any of these wisdoms and directly hurts dogs.
@@ericb8985 I very much appreciate your response and I agree with your list of littature. What I was reading into the discussions was the science of reinforcements - negative and positive and the combinations and balance of that in dog training. In that case I would have been more correct, my bad.
It is my understanding tha all public trainers even Dog Daddy recommend and prefer positive training methods because it is the best for for all parties involved. Where the disagreement starts between trainers is when or maybe even never to condone the use of some sort of negative reinforcements even small ones. I am not inspired to try what Dog Daddy is doing in the videos with agressive dogs and I don’t think and hope people do. Good or not so good I have the impression that his abilities are unique or rare, here I am just judging from the videoes. The dogs shown in the videos are reacting bad and the reason to that is an important thing - if Dog Daddy helps the owner and dogs to get over that using a harsher approach is as I see it probably OK. A better approach earlier to avoid the behavior Dog Daddy is helping with would be preferrable of course. The amount of stress the dogs are in at the beginning of the videos is huge. Adding a stressor of outside control and on the surface is solving the issue is what gives me the impression of that it is probably OK. The long term stress is arguably already there and if it is now gone (on the surface) it can be conscieved as a good thing. What the short videos are not showing is how the dogs and owners are doing long term even next week I will admit. Without beeing ethical but practical. If an owner of an agressive dog is to put the dog down or use Dog Daddy to fix the issue, what would the average owner choose???
I have a very unscientiffic impression that more and more dogs are allowed to behave as they want and grow into bad dogs. Could it be explained with lack of training or ineffective methods?
Why don’t you work with him before trying to cancel him. Go to one of his trainings and talk to him and maybe train his next appointment using your methods to make a better understanding and conclusion.
He's been offered $50,000 from DD to show his methods but not will. Probs because he has none!
I just watched dog daddy save a dog from euthanasia. I think the most constructive thing you could do is get in touch with him, collaborate with him, find a dog that is an exact same situation where they're about to be euthanized within a day and show him that your version of training is as effective as his, otherwise I kind of feel like youre treating different cases than he is.
Yes, that’s what I see. I think Zak shouldn’t have started this argument.
You don't need to abuse a dog under the label of 'saving' them. Unnecessary force is just that, unnecessary. Dog Daddy is a performer who likes to do supposed quick fixes when in fact he has done nothing sustainable nor created a safe pet for anyone.
my dog was scheduled for euthanasia within 48 hours and was pulled from the shelter by a rescue. i couldn't touch him for 6 months without him biting me. he lunged at people and other dogs on the sidewalk. he couldn't go to vet appointments without a muzzle, and was refused from multiple dog groomers for aggression. 7 years later, he is rehabbed with positive reinforcement ONLY. justifying this abuse by saying it saves dogs from euthanasia is BS. it's not necessary. it is a continuation of abuse and neglect.
@@candaysium aw congrats I'm so glad to hear that. At the end of the day people just want to help their dogs so I hope there's more exposure of situations like yours so people like dog daddy can potentially improve their practices. I use a shock collar and it completely changed my and my dogs life. And this was after 5-6 years of bashing my head against a wall trying positive reinforcement only. I've only had to use the shock a handful of times and she is so so so much calmer and happier for it. Just my experience.
@@candaysiumSeven years later?
That sounds more like your biting beast of the field grew old and tired, than any PR methods making a difference
I'd like to see you train dogs like that. Really see if your methods work. I don't like you using your influence negatively on other trainers doing the right thing by helping dogs and their owners. You doing this affecting others livelyhood is not cool.
After seeing this I watched 2 full videos of Dog Daddy and I was pleasantly surprised at how good he is and he also explains what he does which makes sense. Maybe skip Zaks 2 second snippits and go watch a full video before shunning Dog Daddy.
oh yeah ill just ignore the rental houses he left littered with skeletons as well, while we are at it.
ThePenguin369 And with all your "Proofs" you didnt Go to Police? Lies dont get better when you repeat again and again and again😂🥱
I think you should show that your methods are the best to Dog Daddy and train the dogs he was going to train and show they can become completely normal dogs! I think Dog Daddy would let you too because I think he doubts trainers like you are effective! This would be a great opportunity to help him understand you can get results as quick to save these dogs too that won’t have long to live if they continue the way they are!
Zak won't do that. 6 months ago, on Dog Daddy's youtube, DD offered Zak $50,000 to train the same aggressive dogs that Dog Daddy trains, using Zak's methods to show everyone that his methods are better than Dog Daddy's.....but Zak won't do it. Which completely ruins Zak's credibility. And now just makes him look like a fan who lets DD live in his head, rent free.
Zak is afraid of very aggressive and reactionary dogs.
his method will never work on the dogs DD helps. Have you watched a long video of DD then come back
He's the person we are focusing on right now. (7:38). That indicates potentially down the road someone else will be targeted for they're training and/or rehabilitation methods for a dog. Not one training tool or technique will ever fix every dogs issues.
Not potentially. Most certainly.
Practicalit aside, DD is a millionaire. He has a lot of money and influence. This is a litmus test.
If he’s able to crush someone who could easily wipe him into bankruptcy with court cost and fines, imagine what he will do, or can do to a regular trainer
Or a mom and pop doggy daycare.
Surprises most is that they are no professional organizations taking on this guy. They’re either on it, or as useful as the United Nations.
Sadly too many people think with their emotions, especially nowadays when society has become the softest of cotton puffs. Tough love used to be a thing, but no more. They fail to see that a few seconds of discomfort is better than euthanization or a shelter. 😥
@@dianadelcastillo1896 or a few minutes of stress and discomfort is better than years of living in stress and discomfort just so people like Zak can say "I only give treats!"
Because Zak George is JEALOUS of what he cannot do, and that's alot ! 😅😂😅

Dog daddy empowers the owners to be better leaders. Zak is triggered because he is about to lose his scam of his so called training business. I don't see Zak at any shelters helping these poor animals. Dog daddy is volunteering to help so many animals all over the world. Do your research and stop lying.
Why don’t you respond to anyone asking you to show your training with highly agressive dogs? And why are there so many success stories even after his intervention from DD training?
Dog Daddy fan here. So I’m hoping you’ll prioritize this comment
Because Zak cant. I searched all Zaks vids when i rescued a 2 year old Akita with many aggression issues. Now if you want to train a lab puppy Zak is your guy.
@@artistscastle😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow a male Karen going after businesses of the competition
Wow, you are really obsessed with Dog Daddy! I do get that he’s super famous, highly successful, very popular. Sure seems like the dogs are comfortable with him. Maybe you can focus more on your channel and your business, and prove your methods work by showing us videos of your methodology with these extremely aggressive animals. That could be helpful.
With professionals trained in the field, you'll rarely see the aggressive dog behave aggressively because the professional knows their triggers and trains them with enough distance from the trigger (which gets smaller over time) to keep the dog in a stress-zone in which they can learn. Aka the professional handles the dog in such a way to prevent aggression from occurring.
@@TransmogenyShow us then??!!!! That’s all we’re asking! Why doesn’t Zak come to one of DD seminars and show us this method. Case closed then 👍🏽
Thank you so much for all you’re doing with this terrible situation. And especially thank you for showing such compassion to Augusto’s following, as well as providing them with the honest facts and resources to learn more about these concerns. The gentle approach shows and proves your genuine desire to educate and shift the dog training community to much more positive and lifelong shifts, it highlights the genuine care you have for our fellow animals. We love you & thank you.
Wow! Well said! Thank you.
& thank you Zak & Bree!
what compassion is he showing us? specify please. Also why do you think we need compassion? Honest facts?? which ones? specify. goes the same for resources. He made it clear he is not here to educate anyone, his own words, you must have not been paying attention.... Actually his actions and words show the exact oposite of care for animals, they show a care for viewership and stirring drama, animals barely come in the conversation. His approach is not gentle, is stupid, in 3 years he cant teach his own dog to heel without puling, that is not a dog trainer. Wake up and smell the coffee darling, follow idiots like him and you will be just more deluded than you already are, if you want a role model from your own community, i would not look at Zak at all, you have so many better trainers, check out McCann, they are PO and they use methods that actually work and are fun for the dogs as well, their training seems super fun to me. You will soon see that Zak compared to them comes off more as a fraud than anything else.
What are your credentials Zak?
The dogs looking back to their owner for help absolutely crushes me 😢
Because the owner has allowed the dog to get away with an attitude that they are uncomfortable being handled by another human, which is dangerous! Dogs need to know how to be handled, they are domestic animals. Love your dog but also train your dog. Zak Georges methods will get large more dominant dogs in that condition. People buying into this guys garage will do harm to there dogs. Watch Beckman for some solid dog training
@@rob6362The dog is looking to its guardian for help.
@@rob6362Beckman is also bad he's all for DD he was on a podcast with him.
@@rob6362 now now, don't talk about things you have no fucking education on.
dominance isnt a trait for a start, its about realtionships. so there's no 'dominant' dog.
How often does Zak work on aggressive dogs with a bite history? Dogs look to their humans to be the leader. If you are not willing to be a leader and punish bad behavior (which we do to our kids), they will become the leader and do whatever they want.
So you are making money by harassing dog daddy. That doesn't make you a trainer but an activist. 😅😅😅😅😅
Because you cant be a trainer or behaviourist and stand up against wrong practises ?
How stupid can you sound ..
Zak George, I don't condone the method in the above video, for some dogs there is no solution. I inherited a 90 lb 2 year old female GSD who is dog reactive. I can show you pictures of my bloody knees from being pulled down and dragged when an unleashed dog innocently came up to my dog. I had a very accredited trainer come to our home and we had several weeks of obedience training, and from that she obeys my commands. She failed miserably when I took her to the same trainers reactive dog training class in a very large room with 5 other dogs. On April 30, I took her to a Dog Daddy group training class for reactive dogs, it seemed that all dogs in the room were dog reactive only. Entering the training class 25 - 30 dogs spread around the room against the walls. My GSD went over threshold in a matter of seconds. She proceeded to pull me down and I would have been dragged around if it wasn't for my brother. Dog Daddy seemed to like her and spent a lot of time with her and there was no pulling or dragging her around. Bottom line, Dog Daddy worked with her and 3 hours into the 5 hour session my GSD had her muzzle off and was standing and sitting next to another dog. Can I take her to a dog park, absolutely not, but she is a better dog when we go for a walk, and will ignore dogs that bark at her from their fenced in yard. This training gave me hope, that maybe we can have a normal life. Previously to the training I had her on Prozac which worked quite well until the horrific seizures started; a huge disappointment and I had to take her off of Prozac. I would love to be able to send you the before and after videos of April 30.
Question I have for you Zak George - what is your recommendation for the reactive 90 lb GSD that will fight to kill or be killed? This has ruined my life, should I just take her to a shelter and who cares what happens to her? Sorry I'm not wired that way. No boarding facility will take her, I would not be able to even get her in the door without incident. I can't get on a plane with her and spend 2 weeks somewhere so she can get training if such exists. I would pay for Dog Daddy the next time he's in my town to do a private session.
I hope Zak answered you ?
The majority (if not all) the dogs are trying to slip out of their collar or actively attack him. Btw. Hard to know when you rarly encounter aggression lol also I challenge you to do a live session with either Larry krohn, robert cabral or haz othman to debate the aversive methods.
he wont this already happened once they even offered to donate a ton of money to an animal welfare group for a debate
I’m tired of people treating animals like babies 😂 bro
They literally do worse to their selves when they fight other dogs because of their aggression! It’s only a few hours of tugging and training and it works…not actually injuring anyone.
Regardless the species, any form of attack is consuming energy and risking injury. There is not a single animal willing to attack without an underlying reason (hunting for food, protecting their kids, ...) and you won't solve this reason by "winning" against them. All you can achieve is to suppress and scare the animal to not try to attack you again but this might change with every new situation. "Dog Daddy" is intentionally crossing the threshold of scared dogs to show an impressive before-n-after. There is a lot of scientific proof that you can comfort and desensitize animals long-term when they are still below their threshold, but zero scientific proof for "Dog Daddys" methods.
It might be hard to believe that Zak has a lot of experience with similar dogs when he just doesn't poke the aggressive behavior out of them for everyone to see, but it should be easy to stick to logic and facts?
@ericb8985 thank you for saying this ! This comment section is so, so disappointing
Augusto Olivera sold me a dog three years ago. It was a beautiful animal and we loved her. However she arrived here with a grade 5 PFO (basically a hole in the heart). In spite of all his health assurances he sent out a $3500.00 without a vet checkup. In spite of multiple calls and different suggestions to fix the matter he never came through. The dog dies as it turned 2 y/o and we lost the money , the dog and all respect for A Olivera. If this info is in anyway helpful to keep this charlatan off the streets please let me know.

I’m sorry for your loss 😢
Lies.
@@Jaisha26 I wish they were.
Zak: I recently discovered your channel, and I must admit that I find it rather ironic. You frequently discuss your opposition to the use of choke/prong collars in training, yet upon reviewing most of your videos, it appears you primarily work with dog breeds known for their ease of training. I can't help but chuckle at the contrast. Are you serious? You're offering advice on training dominate dog breeds that weigh 130 lbs or more, but the dogs featured in your videos typically range from 5 lbs to a maximum of 60 lbs. It's quite amusing, to say the least!
An absolute dog lover here. However you are talking two different scenarios. I agree that if the dog is properly trained by the handler from the start as you show they shouldn't get to a position that they display agressive behavior. The biggest issue is the handlers knowing how to handle and train. I disagree with bashing the other side. The other side is showing dogs that have not been properly trained or lead. They are at a point that they need to be snapped out of their current state so they can then trust in the proper training & then training the handler in how to establish the trust and confidence so they can instill the balance of the dog in all of the environments. That provides calm happiness to the dog, the handler & everyone around them. I appreciate what you do on the front side, but I don't see abuse or punishment on the other. I see taking action for the welfare of a dog that was not properly guided and has a chance to be snapped out of the current state to be properly lead to a happier and enjoyable state.
In every case it is the handler/environment guiding the training of the dog from the get go & not the dog.
Keep doing what you do to help guide handlers to guide their dogs properly from the go, but don't criticize someone trying to bring stability and a better situation to those that need the guidance to fix problems that were created from those that did not properly train/guide their dogs.
@michaelhersman2661, best response so far!
Seems your video is going in the opposite direction you wanted 😂I used Dog Daddy’s techniques on my aggressive high prey GSD and it actually works. My dog has never minded his muzzle and now he doesn’t mind the prong collar. He is just as excited to go on walks ❤.
I've got a AKC dutch shepherd and also a Australian Shepard mixed with blue heeler. We're training with an outstanding trainer who has been doing this for over 30 years and is very well decorated in the field of breeding, training police and service dogs protection and detection and of course general obedience classes make sure dogs can live a balanced and meaningful life I'm glad you didn't listen to this guy who's just really wrong and maybe jealous and definitely overzealous . We use these same training as Dog Daddy more or less.. correcting with a lead or prong has made a exponential difference in our dogs lives already and until we can link up online and communicate to them this is how they train their own packs right this very moment
And I don't think you would use a prong collar if it hurt/ abused your dog !❤
Prong collars are highly effective tools that are not painful or abusive, used correctly.
This is personal…. How about each to their own.
Jealousy is an ugly thing.
I love dog daddy. I don't see him using fear.
Dog Daddy seems to be a unique trainer out there getting into the rodeo with these aggressive dogs. You go into it expect some bucks. Would like to see you show an example of taming these dogs with your techniques
🚩thats for you man!!! 🚩
live and let live...
His methods are helping people in need... you stick to traning puppies, dont worry you will make money... take care
I had a Rottweiler years ago. Training with shock collar was used. Game changer! So shut it lol. Prong collar used properly is a tool.
Dog Daddy posted a video saying for others to show their methods with aggressive dogs.
Here for a good convo: veterinarian behaviorists often put dogs on Prozac when positive training did not work. I am not condoning abuse at all btw, professional dog rehabilitators know positive only does not work, and corrections need to be made, but not in a way that is abusive and aversive to the dog. When you’re working with a big dog, you need to match the strength or else it’s life or limb and this is commonly known in ABA Zak.
Thank you for your common sense, BTW, DOG Daddy is NOT ABUSIVE. His thousands of happy clients will tell you, he did not hurt their dog.
Prozac is strongly NOT adviced
But we are more advenced here thank god 😉
Certain dog breeds have been banned for their aggressive behaviour and still bite incidents gave gone up, despite the only positive training methods that are 90% of what people are taught nowadays.
150.000 bite incidents with dogs per year in The Netherlands. Count how many dogs are being put down for this.
Show us these numbers in America! People do not know how to handle a (fear)aggressive dog. Show us how it’s done in a positive way. I have tried everything, but our shelter dog is conditioned and needed to be corrected when aggressive to other dogs. In a pack, they would correct each other too. That is the language they understand. No kicking or hitting for sure and positive reinforcement for good behaviour, but leash corrections have saved our day and are not even necessary anymore, once she understood. We saved her from an abusive family, we love her to bits, we play with here and give freedom to run. And believe me, she is a happy dog now.
Again, show us how you do it. help people with aggressive dogs, until then I am not convinced as I have tried it myself. I think dog daddy shows courage for showing everything he does and let us judge for ourselves. I have not heard he has been arrested by authorities for abusing animals, although all he does is visible for everyone to see.
EXACTLY
As a Balanced dog trainer, Former police K9 handler, and dog lover thank you so much for spreading this message! You're amazing and you're an awesome caretaker of your furry friend. Proper training is so so important and as you said there are absolutely dogs that required a balanced training method. Thank you!
It has been 3 months since I adopted a now 21 month Siberian Huskey. She was given up twice, and was sitting in the shelter for 5 month before I got her. I prepared by watching The Dog Daddy, Beckman's Dog Training, and Caesar Milan on RUclips. Stumbled onto this channel, because I notice the "Training Drama". FWIIW, these 3 other guys methods sure helped me.
Whoooo boy, you better not say that here, these people will lose their minds. Good on you for adopting a tough to handle dog.
This channel reminds me of raising our Keeshond in the 1990s (AOL and Windows 95). I wanted a Huskey for bikejoring. Interesting that the RUclips AI never suggested this channel for my breed, activity, or dog handling. Maybe it isn't relevant for my pet needs, but more for likes and views? @@cornbreadatheist2137
You seem a little obsessed with this certain person rather than addressing the underlying challenge.
I would love to see a healthy debate between you and a trainer who uses punishment and have great success with their dogs.
Zak and Bree thank you for the tireless effort you're putting in to make the general public aware of these practices and why they are problematic.
Well Bree can't even walk her dog down a public street, so I have no clue what you are talking about.
@@jdrankwalter It's essential in dog training that you work at the dog's own pace, under threshold while you work to change the dog's emotions about how they feel about a trigger through counter-conditioning. This is what will create lasting results, where the dog will eventually see a trigger and turn to their human instead of reacting, or they will simply no longer find the trigger something scary so the need to react no longer exists. You stated you have no clue, and if you've read this, now you do! I'd encourage you to further educate yourself through legitimate sources. The Pet Professional Guild has a small annual membership fee ($35USD) and provides a host of either discounted or free webinars from experts in the field. You are a prime example of "you don't know what you don't know until you know it." Once you understand these things, you will have an entirely different viewpoint.
So she should choke and strangle her dog ? Put up a video to prove your statement
Call it what you will, going after places that host dog daddy sounds like bullying to me. Whether we agree with what he is preaching or not does not mean businesses should be fearful of Zak and your other followers bombarding their business with negative reviews and putting them down. That approach won't change their minds, it will only make people view us as bullies.
I'd say Zac can privately contact them to express his views in hopes that they may change their points of view. Free speech means not having to fear the internet people coming for you.
To summarize: going after businesses does not make anyone change their minds, it makes people afraid to speak about things while viewing you as "the bad guys".
@@madeleine363 That's not what free speech means at all. You can say what you want (within reason) but that doesn't mean you're free from the consequences of your words and actions. You might also need a refresher on bullying.

Umm...dogs won't behave well out of fear. They will cower, avoid, hide, or attack out of fear. Not act completely calm and allow people to pet them and reach for them without flinching. I've had many dogs, and I live in a rough neighborhood with neighbors who either abuse or neglect- abuse their dogs, and I promise, dogs are not humans, they will not behave well out of fear. They simply don't have the intellectual capacity and emotional control to "put on a brave face and act happy" while feeling fearful and anxious. Watch Dog Daddy's longer videos instead of the tiny slippers shown here, it will be allot more informative.
These tiny clips were obviously coded for negative shock value. If he had left 10 more seconds on either clip, it would have shown a much truer picture. Clips out of context can paint a lie. I'm sure everyone understands that, even if they prefer treats to discipline. Discipline isn't abuse. Dogs need discipline just like children.
What is wrong with you Zack? If you put as much effort into building your own business, instead of tearing somebody else's down, you might get somewhere in life.
"somewhere in life?" Coming from a nobody to someone with millions of followers
Did you listen to why he is saying this? Or are you trying to tear him down without understanding
@@maxx8650 I found this to be the the entire base of his followrs. They defend him no matter what. They see abuse shown flat out to their face and continue to defend him
Seriously? dog daddy‘s animals are very well fed very well-behaved. Listen to everything. It’s something I had hoped to be able to have done with my own. I have raised Doggo Argentino, couple of German shepherds.numerous animals. And I wish I had known about him a long time ago. It would’ve saved a lot of anxiety for the animal for me and eventually for the animal owners. In a very short amount of space time.
By not training certain dogs certain ways they will bite someone they will hurt a child. They will fight with other dogs, and I have seen it personally from Doberman pincher and Rottweiler that attacked a four year old little girl riding her tricycle along the sidewalk they came from behind the house And attacked her if it hadn’t been from my mother and myself scaring the dogs they would have her.
Dog Daddy has been ridiculed by other trainers and “THEY”are terrified of the dog they are trying trying to train. They don’t even get into the fence with them for a long time until they’re sure they might not get bit themselves. Dividing and conquer this way is not the answer. You should respect him maybe go take some classes with him to observe what’s going on. My dogs were dependent upon me to train them. I couldn’t afford a trainer, but they got a lot of love, They got their discipline, love. Dog daddy has my vote for Dog Trainer of the year. So why not you mind your own business and get over yourself?
Are you kidding? Why fuk DD abusing these dogs? Yall really believe what he does is OK?? Now thats Scary👺
I truly believe in the Dog Dadddy !! He does know what he is doing very well and has a meaningful understanding of the dogs he works with , I understand you do not agree and that’s ok . Maybe you could keep training your own way and give the Dog Daddy his way as well . I’ve truly seen nothing but great results . Hope you all can work this out .
we are standing up to an animal abuser and killer who has left rental properties littered in skeletal remains.
Great Love and total Respect for the Dog Daddy ❤️😊👼
I would never trust someone who saunters in wearing a Gucci tracksuit to handle my dog.
He's not in it for the dog's wellbeing, he's in it for the money and flaunts it.
It's dominance theater.
Go train one of those dogs he trains. The world is not only positive shit, even the police will correct humans when it is needed.
My ambull didnt care about sniffing, treats, food or anything, so i am still waiting for your response.
Is your dog aggressive?
Dog daddy saved my dog from being put down can’t thank him enough
That big ass dog he was grappling with wasn’t scared, he was dominant. Zack George can’t work with aggressive dogs because he’s not an expert dog trainer. There are thousands of people out there who can teach puppies and mildly hyper dogs tricks while using buzz words and marketing. Mr George is a joke of an expert. Check out Beckmans dog training if you want methods to help with aggression and reactivity. The dog daddy has short treatments that won’t work long term if the handlers don’t learn them as well. But don’t get it wrong, Mr George will not post videos on aggressive dogs for a reason…
Exactly! I would love to see Zak get near my 160 lb St. Bernard with severe people aggression. He would attack him immediately. Throwing treats wouldn’t do a thing.
I agree with absolutely everything you said other than Beckman is a terrible balanced trainer. Tom davis is a much much better resource.
I watch your channel and Augustos (as a GSD owner in the uk) and am disappointed at your very selective clips used. No examples of the final outcomes of these sessions shown, or the grateful owners. Many of these dogs act the way they do because their owners are inexperienced and now own dangerous dogs - in these specific cases a short, sharp shock can be needed to prevent a tragic situation in the future.
Do you ever work with truly aggressive/reactive dogs and show your methods?
As a licensed veterinary technician and animal trainer who works with patients at UC Davis with Veterinary Behaviorists, this treatment of dogs is not only egregious, but dangerous to the dogs physically and psychologically. The sad part is these dogs are not “Aggressive dogs” they are scared dogs. Aggression is an expression of emotional distress. Our service see some of the most aggressive dogs from the public, veterinary, and training communities. These dogs are best treated with environmental management, positive reinforcement to build foundational skills, and desensitization and counterconditioning to change their emotional perspective when in the face of their triggers. No dog wants to display aggression, but they have been put in a situation that is beyond their skill set or tolerance.
Thank you! Support like yours means a lot!
@@zakgeorge You’re doing great work. Your approach is perfect: Don’t go after people morally or personally, but do focus on their methodology and practices to invoke change. Keep up the good work!
My dog is terrified of the vet office. He trembles and shakes. He must've suffered psychological abuse so i guess he should stop going to the vet then.
I hear all of Zak’s points, however, has there been any proof that his results/methods have not been effective? I haven’t seen one person who’s dog he has worked with, have anything negative to say about what happened after the fact
There's loads of legal stuff going on in the background but he keeps running away. he left a rental property's yard littered in skeltons, a animal graveyard. this isnt just about methods and beleifs, he's been repeatedly hurting and killing animals for years.
You need a license to clean pools. Why not for training dogs????
Wow, that’s an amazing point.
I’ve really made it a point to try and thoroughly look into this with a unbiased perspective from the moment I heard about complaints- I’ve watched videos on “both sides”, I’ve watched his videos and yours- and lots of videos from people & trainers in the middle giving their opinions.. I’ve seen people say “well he’s just so ‘everything needs to be positive only’ , so it’s just a different style” and that sorta thing… and I watched countless dog training videos & behavior analysis videos as well; paying close attention to the dogs responses.., and I have to just say- when you have a dog literally dedicating on themselves during a “training” session , and their tail is tucked between their legs as they yelp out - I do not understand how anyone can see that & dismiss it as just a difference in technique! Or afterwards and the dog is sitting there panting & trembling and obviously a ball of anxiety and fear- I don’t understand how anyone can see that and think “oh! It worked!” Oh- it’s a miracle, in 30 seconds he fixed my dog .. yeah it don’t work that way.
And why is it that in all the videos I’ve watched of so many different trainers & behavioralists I’ve never seen dogs respond that way to that extent! I’ve never seen them crap themselves like that, or have body language similar to abused animals being rescued off the streets when you approach- I’ve never seen them shut down like that.. anxious, yes- annoyed, yes- confused, maybe even sad- yes.. but THIS.. no. And every other person I’ve seen work with dogs, even the ones with a bit more aggressive approach, they always mix in comfort- they always mix in wanting the dog to be happy & excited ..
now, I know I do not understand what it’s like to be an owner of a dog you have zero control over & are fearful they’ll bite someone or something.. I acknowledge that. But, I can’t imagine watching MY DOG go through this, & looking to me confused and wondering why I’m not helping them 😞 it really breaks my heart! And before someone says well yeah you don’t understand so… I’ve watched others with very aggressive dogs some of which were on their last chance or they’d be euthanized- and they HELPED these dogs and they didn’t do it by creating fear & pain. You’re not a fan of positive reinforcement only- that’s fine, Tom Davis ( “no bad dogs”) I personally think is excellent- he’s spent a lot of time studying their behavior and working with them… he does believe in “discipline”, but he’s gentle and compassionate, and isn’t looking to force the dog into submission for the next 20 minutes, he’s looking to change how the dog actually thinks/ perceives/ reacts & interacts with the world for the long term .. he’s helped countless dogs & their owners and I’ve NEVER seen him to anything like this..
I applaud you for being an independent thinker. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
@@zakgeorge only if you knew how to critical think, wolves have been using reinforcement for millions of years and all of a sudden you want to act like the other wolves would pull out cookies and negotiate if one of them is being agrresive to rest of them. Bro the real world is cruel, a child plays with fire till he gets burned no matter how many time you buy him toys and give him treats. Same way as you wont shut up till you get burned no matter how many times someone tells u nicely to stfu and mind your own business. You need reinforcement training also, someone slap u in head till you stop being arrogant know it all, oh wait thats outlawed, and look what we have, stupid aggresive humans on the loose barking at everyone. you are litteraly equivilant to a wild untrained dog barking at dog daddy every vid u see of him. Go bark at him some more you mut. "woof woof dog daddy so bad woof woof"
Wow, what a rambling mess this post is. Geezus. That is a really long way to say that you support Dog Daddy. You could have just said that in one sentence.
Where are his unhappy clients. Id like to see them?
If you say his method is wrong, show the people examples of what your saying. Prove to us what is right.
Definitely talked more about how he knos the way but with no proof on how to correct things. Also he backtracks n says "not attacking" but yet he jus continues how they are wrong n hes right with no examples. Funny that is.
@@LDYFOX408 if your talking about DD, he shows examples of his training and the reasons. He very much is passionate about training owners to do the right way. As he trains he tells the psychology of why certain moves are for a dog.
Even you don’t understand anything you do understand this behavior is not right. It’s basic instinct. We are all animals!!!!
Hey Zak! You seem to have enough time on your hands to bash someone who is gaining popularity very quickly all over the world. It's quite obvious that Dog Daddy has a very rare gift and people are beginning to notice it! Dog Daddy is is travelling all over the world and his classes are sold out in London, Rome and Australia. Also sold out in Austin, Phoenix and Tampa. He's becoming quite famous and people are interested and willing to pay to learn his know-how! I think he's awesome and the video of him walking his dogs off leash in New York is impressive as all heads turn when he passes by. The video has garnered over 10 million views and climbing. ZAK....The harder you try to push against Dog Daddy and his gift.... the stronger he will become!!! Dog Daddy....what an awesome name... He's making his mark in the world and I honestly think you can't handle that he's climbing the ladder of popularity.... CLASSES SOLD OUT WORLD WIDE!!!! SO IMPRESSIVE!!! Dog Daddy is causing you some sleepless nights Zak as you try to devise plans to ruin him. Zak.... just concentrate on your own business and if you put forth the same effort into it that you do in destroying Dog Daddy...maybe you'll get a little busier and then in turn you'll be able to fly over the world like him and have sold out classes in return! Dream on Zak!
This video in a nut shell... come Karens and unite and help us try and stop the man saving all the aggressive dogs lives!
A video on Karens training highly aggressive dogs? Naa... you won't find that...they just want to kill them and stop their Daddy from saving them.
Save Dog Daddy. Save the dogs.
**blows horn**
Very interesting... This video isn't what I thought it would be (an aggressive "rant" against Dog Daddy and his followers). Dog Daddy follower and reactive dog owner here of a Mastiff-type dog. Sweetest dog to the family, but won't let strangers touch her. But WHY is there this pressure out there anyways that every dog must allow strangers to pet them, even if you live in rural areas? Is this a US-typical thing? That people fear they need to put their dog down (???!!!) JUST because it won't allow strangers to pet it, because the dog is afraid?! I mean, AFRAID, not even aggressive? Even in remote areas, where there's very few people around and plenty of space for dog walks without a reactive dog being forced to have strangers enter their personal space? I mean, isn't the only person needing to touch one's dog the veterinarian - for treatment, check-ups an vaccinations? With my girl, once a year, our vet comes for a house visit, or we take her to the clinic. So, we have a nice conversation with the vet, then we "park" my girl in a corner, secured by me with the leash and muzzle for safety, and the vet does the checkup and vaccinations. After that, plenty of praise, and her happiness is quickly restored. No problem. BUT if I let someone like Dog Daddy force my girl to be touched and be sent into a panic... honestly I would indeed be concerned about how her present cautiously friendly reactions to strangers might change. Dogs like her take pressure, stow it away, and then let it out elsewhere, I've seen this happen with her during her adolescence trying to help her overcome her fear with balanced methods.
I think your girl is extremely lucky to have you 😊
I think, with a reactive dog like your girl, you are the gateway to her experiencing things in the world. Because she trusts YOU, she'll let the vet examine her. Same with my reactive boy. Vet has had to prod & poke him all over. He is cautious but trusts me to keep him safe.
You lose that trust from your dog & I don't see a good way forward.
@@SBOK41 Thank you for your kind words. I fully agree, that trust is everything. All the best to you and your boy!
@@alexandradittmann8588 Same to you & your girl 😊
trauma is not training.
i was so disappointed that Joel had him on his channel.
I am a positive dog trainer too- am in the process of becoming certified (finally- been training dogs, and many other animals, including CATS) my whole life- using positive methods. Way back in the 90s I used some dominance theory based training but have since abandoned that in favor of the latest research in learning theory (for everyone and everything- not just dogs). Someone had sent me a Dog Daddy video- and many times I see signs of stress and fear in the dogs he works with. He is NOT training- he is shutting the dog down. There are other trainers online that still use devices such as shock collars, pinch collars and choke chains to "train" I don't use nor advocate the use of any aversive devices.
Zak, I really found your video interesting. You raise issues that your views are backed by science. I think that is great. But can you provide any links or books that address this body of knowledge? Journal articles? Books? I would like to read further on the science behind dog training. I think this would be a tremendous gift to me and your viewers for those of us who would like to study and learn further about the shift in science supporting the positive training movement. Can you help with this? Perhaps a video on the topic? I want to learn!
Great question thank you! I have links in the description of this video to a handful of additional, more in-depth videos I have made on this topic. In each of those videos’ descriptions are extensive sources and resources to back up the information that’s presented! I would recommend starting with the video called “state of emergency: the dog training crisis is here!” Or “have I been wrong about dog training this whole time?” because those two are extra citation-rich 🙌
What a great reply. I will delve into this. I have a new Lab puppy coming in a week to join my 11 year old Lab. This would be a great time for more education and a reset on perspective for what will now be my fourth Lab over about 35 years. Looking forward to the journey and will also comb through your videos and books as well for a new fresh start and perhaps some revelations!@@zakgeorge
The scary thing is imagine what he does when the camera is off.
oh we know, he has left graveyards full of animal bones in rental properties.

my Kangal would take dog daddy face off bc he knows how to take muzzles off lol
You have a strange sense of humor. No wonder your dog is a threat
Support you 100% as a therapist for humans- this really isn’t much different than trauma and people. We have replicated studies so many times shows that physical abuse/punishment in children leads to increase in likelihood for future violence in adulthood. Human learning really isn’t too different than dogs! In fact, we read a dog training book in one of my classes to learn about behavioral reinforcement. The science is clear and has been for YEARS.
That book that changed my mind was 'Don't Shoot the Dog' by Karen Pryor. She trained dolphins and developed 'clicker training'. That is used to train many different wild animals. Hell, I have domesticated cats that would tear you to shreds for using any positive punishment on them. And you can train cats using only positive reinforcement to do all sorts of tricks.
@@stephendurnan3609 that’s the one we read!
I don't want to be rude, but dogs are not humans. It is demeaning to dogs when we treat them as if they are, as if they are children. We have to look at dogs and how they understand corrections amongst themselves in order to be able to train them in a a way which doesn't cause them stress. We have to learn their language. I had a dog which I trained with Zak's methods, it was fine up to a point. However, it ended in tears because in the moment that I needed complete control, I discovered I didnn't have it. It was too late. A dog's nature is it's nature and it can often be disguised, but we must not forget it is never going to change. My current dog has been taught differently, positive where it works (and it does work well), but if she shows aggressive behaviour she will learn, in that very instant, that it is unacceptable to me. I have only had to correct her once. It was put to the test when she took off after a deer, but came to an instant halt when I told her to "down". The deer got away and my dog did not have to be muzzled. I will also say this, I train hours every week. It never ends, but the training is fun for her. Something new everyday to engage and keep her interest engaged. In conclusion, I think dog trainers should show more professionalism than to launch attacks on other trainers. I know Zak has been invited to join discussions on training methods, but he avoids it. It seems indicative of his willingness to launch covert attacks and not to take responsibility for them.
If you see him in person he is not abusing these dogs. I am a psychologist by trade and am extreme dog lover.

Thank you again so much for being here and seeking to improve your life with your dogs ❤ See you in the comments!
What a horrible thing to organize. Augusto is doing so much good in the world and what you're doing is so counter-productive and negative. There are so many corrupt things to protest....why on earth would you spend your energy targeting one of the few people doing so much good for dogs? The videos you're showing here aren't even close to the whole story...you're not showing the follow uo and how much better all these dogs get...he's preventing many of these owners from putting their dogs down. He's teaching them the whys and how to read their dogs, so they can give them a better life and prevent them from attacking someone. I'm so baffled by your behavior. Please stop this destructive, utter nonsense. Like humans, dogs need discipline and strong guidance. You're not doing dogs any favours here!!
@@zakgeorge ZAK GEORGE will you be held responsible for any acts of outburst, hate speech or violence that may occur due to your suggestion to protest???
Hey Zak, this is a serious question. Since we both believe that all living things on this planet learn through operant conditioning. What form of positive reinforcement would you use on Dog Daddy to get him to stop using this learned behavior that he has developed??? It looks to me that right now you are trying to use negative punishment to correct his behavior. This really interest me because I see you trying to do to him what he does to the dogs but in human form. The way I see it, you are trying to use the 1st amendment to protest this man’s lively hood so that he loses supporters and stops making money to feed his family. Which in turn would possible stop him from working in the dog training world. Taking away a man’s way to feed his family as long as it is legal work, is just as bad if not worse than what I see him doing to any of the dogs he works with. A man’s reaction in a state of fear is proven to be farrrr more devastating than any dog’s in the existence of earth. It would truly amaze the world if you used positive reinforcement to correct DogDaddys behavior and show the world that it works on every situation. 🤔
Clever. Anyway, the dog daddy is a sadist and animal abuser. He needs psychological help. No amount of normal "training" would help him because he is mentally ill.
If he chooses to make a living and feed his family with animal abuse, that's his choice and in choosing that path he also chose the consequences. I wonder how dog daddy would earn a living right now if back in the day people like you had successfully made the arguement that slavery should stay legal because it would take the poor slave traders' livelyhood away and keep them from feeding their families?
Slave trading was also a learned legal behavior in its day. That behavior was also corrected with negative punishment. It could have also been corrected with positive reinforcement but would have taken farrrr longer that way and in the meantime many slaves would have suffered. So thanks for helping my point. Negative punishment is sometimes very necessary. I also like how your trying to compare this topic to slave trading. Wow… nice attempt at trying to demonize the opposing view. I’ve not seen even one bit of evidence that dog daddy has abused any dog. Matter fact law enforcement has stated that this is not abuse per law. The fact that people like zak and I’m assuming you think that dog trainers should require some sort of licensing is a ridiculous thought and an disgusting attempt at control. A dog is personal property and abuse mental and physical is very obvious. Yeah the yank and crank methods can be abusive without proper knowledge but abuse is not what your seeing with dog daddy’s training. It’s tough love that helps owners then build a beautiful relationship with an animal that at one point wanted to do great harm to a human. Hey I don’t like how the majority of people raise kids by I would never suggest a person to get a license to train or tech them using behavioral science. In my opinion zak’s approach to fixing a learned behavior is very hypocritical in this case. Especially coming from one of the leading positive only trainers on RUclips.
It astounds me in the worst way possible how many people in the comments are just like, "Yeah, strangling a dog for 3+ hours is a perfectly valid method of training."
You've never watched one of DD's long videos showing a full training....have you? Anyone can take clips and make anything look traumatic and/or horrible...DD is awesome and saves dog's lives!
@@normawitter7773 I actually *have* watched a couple of Dog Daddy's videos, but I don't need to watch the long ones to see that dragging a dog around by the neck is going to be traumatic for the dog and risks physical injury. It's absolutely DISGUSTING that you call this "life saving." And he knows what he's doing is wrong, because he actively hides what location his workshop will be at until about a week beforehand. If you know or even just think you're in the right, you don't do that.
I've watched quite a few of the shorts and have never seen him "dragging" a dog around by it's neck.......so, someone ain't being straight!@@CaffeineWords
@@normawitter7773 Yeah, it's you because there's multiple videos and clips of him doing this 🙄
Hold up.... so you said dogs personalities are not affected by breed ? .... literally breeds were created to have certain traits , guard breeds are for guarding and naturally will be more alert to protect , as compared to companionship breeds , etc ... literally that is the point of breeding 🙄
You're not showing the results of Dog Daddy's method. You're only showing the process. He has saved so many dogs headed for euthanasia. You are operating from cognitive dissonance. The reason we don't see it on your channel is b/c the dogs have been put down. You've shown us nothing here. Where are your results with large aggressive dangerous dogs? You don't have the video proof . Show us the proof with real agression/reactive behavior
A lot of Dog Daddy's method begin with extreme pressure and release when he sees the dog back off. This method of pressure and release works extremely well. It might seem extreme in the beginning, but that's because these dog's issues have been allowed to get extreme by the owner's mistakes over time. I use the pressure and release in my dog and I used in my horses, and it works! Sorry, but these attacks back and forth are not good for the dog training industry. As an owner, not a trainer, I get very confused when I see both sides giving these attack videos.
I don’t agree. You’re 100% wrong. Dog Daddy is impressive. You can’t do what he does. You’re basically saying that there are few professionals who can deal with aggression so that’s okay. It’s not okay. Aggressive dogs are a huge problem and being all nice about it doesn’t help anyone!
I previously replied to a poster who commented that human and dog behaviour were much the same. I liked my comment so much, I decided to share it more widely 🤣 Fun times.

It's really suspicious that most of the Dog Daddy clips are sped up by this guy to look more harsh than they really are. Why do you have to speed them up?
Leave TheDogDaddy alone. Use your energy to help dogs & owners in ur way u believe. See ur own jealousy & pride & hate u have -this will be ur downfall in this life or the next.
If you think discourse is so great why do you refuse to speak to Augusto?! He has tried to reach out to you on several occasioms and you just ignore him and comtinue to attack him on your youtube channel. If discourse is so important than talk to Augusto and quit playing childish games anf trying to ruin someones life because it will come back and bite you in the you know what
Zak, there absolutely ARE followers of Dog Daddy that are there specifically to watch the abuse and the "breaking" of the dog. Unfortunately quite a percentage of his followers. They all use code words with each other and are also often the largest "supporters" to keep him abusing dogs. He tends to encourage it as well in his community posts. As well as brigading of other trainers that disagree with him.
He needs to be de-platformed immediately.
You are one conspirator theories. You are crazy. Read the comments on his videos.
You're tripping' dude. Slow down on the Ritalin.
