      Yea my puppy doesn't give 2 shits about "leave it" this video is just ridiculous for crazy active puppy's. We are petrified ours will have a bowel obstruction

      @@Quintos. 1) Take your animal to boring environment, let them explore it and make yourself more interesting that that environment (i.e by moving, randomly jumping around etc). 2) Do some basic obedience training to tell your puppy you are interacting with them now and it is possible for them to get a treat. 3) plant something super interesting and delicious in the environment, but don't allow your puppy to examine it, but rather start practicing leave it. 4) move your puppy slowly away from that boring environment and closer to something more interesting while still paying your puppy for obeying. 5) Revert back to the boring environment when your puppy can't resist the disctractions anymore and move toward the exciting environment when your puppy behaves.
      This takes hours and hours during multiple sessions and you will not get the exercise through in a week or possibly even month. The payback is huge because with luck your animal live 15+ years and you don't have to constantly fight them over garbage
      Because your puppy is active it means that they can learn huge many things, but it is your responsibility to channel that energy. Active puppy is a fantastic and great thing.

    In my opinion, this is a vital skill for any puppy or dog to have. Not only is it for safety (stop them from eating things, or chasing things), but it also helps to build impulse control. And it's so versatile, to help with many different behavioral issues. ❤️❤

    This video can literally save lives: Super thankful for this info, Zak - had to bring my new puppy to the vet today (she's fine now, but it was a bad allergic reaction to an insect sting). Vet said these reactions can be fatal if left untreated, so, "Leave It!" is a true life-saver! (The accident happened whilst the pup was on a loose long-leash on the garden lawn and I was looking at it, but suddenly, it snapped at an UFO (unknown flying insect-object). A few minutes later: vomiting, excessive drooling and coughing. Here, the mastery of "Leave It!" - formed into a habit applicable to leaving flying objects alone - could have avoided the mishap.)

    Wait = don't touch it until I say to have it but it will be yours soon (and the treat he was told to wait for was the one he got as a reward)

    In this kind of situation I personally like to use wait instead of leave it. When you say leave it they should leave it and never get that treat or object. When giving them something but wanting them no do it on your terms, I use wait. Then I can say wait until I say it’s ok. Or if you say leave it, never give them the object that you said to leave. Give them a different treat than the one you told them to leave. Just don’t want mixing up signals

    • @artlegends8282
      @artlegends8282 5 лет назад

      He is trying to teach the dog the command "leave it" as if your dog founds something on the street and he wants to eat it you will say "leave it" and he will never eat that random thing from the street. Zak has to start from somewhere with the dog training and now he is just teaching the dog to follow the command and get used to it.

      @@dardan1984 But as mentioned before, the difference is that the treat comes from his hand and not from the ground. Ideally a dog should learn to only accept treats this way and not pick something up from the ground. I don't really agree on your argumentation of mixing up signals (though there might be dogs who don't understand it so well and then your version of it is 101% safe but I don't think it's necessary with most dogs).

If I know his favorite triggers, can I work on this in the house and pretend to be walking? Could the more advanced stuff and tempting objects be useful to set up indoors for my backwards pooch lol?

      ILoveMyDog That's great! Keep up the good job. Sometimes it takes a really long time for a dog to recover and I am not really sure if some are able to fully recover. For example my German Shepherd mix Aron, who is turning 10 this year, has for sure been abused by his previous owners in A LOT of different situations I guess because when I got him he was 10 months old and at first he seemed a very sweet dog, but one day in the attempt to save a little sparrow from him I grabbed him probabily too quickly and he turned on me and bit me very hard on my right arm (I have 3 scars there). From that point on he started seeing me as a threat and every time a situation reminded him of a bad situation from his past he didn't even warn me with a growl, he would just run towards me at full speed and bite me hard (the worst bite I got is on my right forearm where he got so deep my bone was exposed). No need to say I was terrified by him at first for a very long time, he is a 52 pounds dog after all, but I have never ever considered the idea of abandoning him because I knew it wasn't his fault. Back then I was a huge fan of Victoria Stilwell, thought she thinks that once a dog's aggressive you can't fix them, especially she insists that you can't teach them to warn you with a growl once they got the habit to just bite. Aron and I are the living happy proof that she is wrong about that because without even knowing Zak's method back then I was able to change Aron's behavior completely by using just love, a calm manner whenever he went off and got mad, lots of treats and especially by avoiding the situations I knew were more likely to cause him anxiety as much as possible. I still have some minor issues tho. For example I was trying to teach him a new trick today using Zak's method and real chicken instead of his usual currency to get him more motivated, but he quickly started to get tense and nervous when I was witholding the treat because he didn't do what I was asking him and started to show me his teeth and growl at me and I simply stopped what I was doing and went back and asked him something he knows well and gave him a reward for that. I'm not sure if I want to push him to learn new stuff such as new tricks like roll over or things that can make him feel vulnerable or fearful and remind him his dark past, but sure as hell I have to teach him to leave my horses alone when I'm around them and when they move and run. Very hard task, but I know he can do it, he has proven to be a very smart dog and very affectionate when he is relaxed. I love him so much. ❤😊

      @kadehill6282 5 лет назад +6

      Australian Kelpies need a lot of exercise to be their happiest selves. A good jog or long workout combined with the mental exercise of obedience lessons should be done daily. Kelpies prefer to have a job to do (they will try to herd other dogs, pets, even children), but they also have an “off” switch. They can do a five-mile run, then settle on the couch with the family to watch a movie. Kelpies are not suited to apartment living as they need space for their limitless energy.
      This is the exercise blurb on the AKC for Australian Kelpies. I personally do not know much about the breed. But its something

      Consider taking up some sort of sport like agility, flyball, or frisbee. Kelpies are incredibly smart and diligent and they enjoy having that physical and mental stimulation. You'll develop a strong bond with the pup so it'll be enjoyable for you too! But don't do these rigorous sports with a young pup - you'll want to wait until they've finished growing and developing to prevent trauma to their joints & bones

    Thanks so much, this was very helpful! Question though, in the beginning stages of "Leave It" training... so say we just did a session inside the house and now we're going outside for just a regular walk, not intended for leave it training... do we still try and implement leave it or do we wait until we are designating a walk to that?
    Any help or feedback on this would be very helpful!

    Ah Zac, let me share my insight gained from watching my Airedale improve. You were one of the key trainers who moved us past the toxic aversive ideas some Airedale people aggressively pushed about my dog and Terriers in general... Your methods are better and smarter. What I learned about leave it took a while to realize. You're welcome to practice my style on my Airedale yourself anytime! Yes, ha ha that means you have to visit us!
    My method:
    Instead of making the Object Of Interest OOI fly away from a dog that already is prone to engaging in predatory drive quickly, try "clamshelling" the OOI. This technique works for a wide variety of OOI. You already do a version of clamshell when you cover an OOI on the ground with your hand. I tell people to clamshell anything the puppy or dog rudely lunges toward (kids seem to like it the most). The OOI that gets covered/enclosed like a clam inside the clamshell tends to just "go away" in a non-energy way that tends to not cause much frustration. The pup will learn impulse control of clamshell is done properly, simply closing off the OOI from the puppy dog without movement in any direction and without sound (just like a clam closing its shell).
    The next step for a good leave it would be to reward the puppy in the opposite direction from the clam shell ideally at your feet or by your face. I don't like opening up the clamshell to reward the puppy dog. If I give them the OOI, I feel like the dog brain is going to learn they can/should get whatever they're interested in if they just wait a second. I want to teach them to ignore whatever they find scattered around the world and come to me for their reward instead.
    I find using a clicker properly helps speed up learning.
    What I've shared was hard-earned. I believe it is a technique you will really like. I think you're already doing clamshell a bit.
    Cheers to all your efforts! Thank you for all the knowledge from your books and videos!

    • @sofiavelez343
      @sofiavelez343 4 года назад +1

      Usually I ask them for a "trade", and what I do is "trade" offer them another treat that is much more exciting than the thing they have, and they will usually drop whatever they have in exchange for the treat I have. Hope this helps :)

    How would you advice progressing to leaving items while walking off-lead? My poodle will eat anything on walks like pieces of plastic and wrappers. I then need to use ham to try entice her back but I fear that she is learning to eat these items because she likes the game off me trying to get it off her. But then how do I progress as she will eat them otherwise? Thanks very much for the video!

    This exercise is great, I was able to teach my dog to leave things when I tell him to.
    My problem is that if I did not say the magic words "leave it", he just goes as fast as he can and grabs the problematic suspicious food from the ground.
    How do you go from saying "leave it" - to train him not to eat anything that he sees on the street?

      You can inject some hotdogs with wasabi paste and leave it on the ground (make sure your dog didn't see you placing them). First sausage will be an intense experience for the dog, reward them when they sniff it and ignore it

      Also, i do believe that it is what most people are worried about when looking for this video. As he suggests normally, most of the time if there is a notable object, i can see ahead of the situation and avoid. Its when you are walking in a park where there are sticks everywhere

    Thanks, Zach. I love your videos. I live on a small farm where we grow chile peppers. We just adopted a new puppy. His training is going really, really well, but we cannot get Oso to leave plants alone. Coffee plants, pepper plants, orchids...any kind of plant is susceptible to Oso's wrath. How can we get him to stop?

    @ZakGeorge; have a rescue mini doxie - got at 2yrs old, now 4.5yrs old. Is AKC, originally bred for show until minor non-conformation issues identified. A great dog, but headstrong re chasing down/sourcing dead mice & voles, which immediately go down her gullet. Have pulled more than a few from her mouth as she tries to swallow whole. Is there advanced 'leave it' training I can put in place? She smells the dead mouse/vermin well before I see it, even on leach it's an issue. Thanks in advance

    I just found your channel recently and I really like your channel and that you even Dietes videos but just one thing I thought of is on her come in to look at you(I admit I talk to my dog in full sentences as well but) Shortening the command to “me” or “eyes” or something like that might be a little easier/ more effective/ effecient

    So I do the “come” “look at me” leave it” when I have my golden pup in our yard just walking and trying to use the bathroom. He acts the best when I give him pieces of turkey and listens, but I’m worried about always having to give him turkey to motivate him. Will he ever do any of this on command without treats?
