@@camrose2936 You can try a gentle leader or an actually good prong. I've tried a prong on myself and it doesn't hurt at all because it's a good one. Another good option is a harness. It helped a lot with my pup. Just don't get the kind that keeps them from pulling completely because it basically is restraining the dog. Hope this helped.
@@riverramos9586 - I wouldn't use a prong collar but a good harness with two lead attachments - one for the front so you can bring their front end towards you - and a slight 'martingale' action is useful. Ultimately though, as one of the trainers at the dog training school I go to says, every time you carry on walking with your dog puling hard out ahead of you - leading the way - you are basically saying "that's fine - you carry on - I'm fine with you pulling". Zak's approach is time consuming but it is the only one that really works.
@@honeychurchgipsy6 A harness helped me out a lot too. I'm glad you know what works for you. For me a prong stopped my pup from choking herself and harming other dogs (fighting) since we can't socialize he due to Covid and a lack of dogs around. It took a lot for me to put the prong on, but the results were amazing. The harness got really good results too :)
Watch his hands - he constantly has something in his hand, and usually more than one. Also video editing helps with the illusion. These are voice over videos in many cases.
He’s always holding some in his hands. Which is why Inertia is staring at his hands. She can smell it. If he didn’t have the treats in his hands or acted like food was in his hand, I highly doubt Inertia would be focused at all
Hey! If you need any extra help teaching your dog how to walk nicely I have literally just uploaded a video on my channel! Obviously all dogs are different so I break down 5 different techniques that I use to teach loose lead walking :) I’m sure it will help you :)
@@julienowak1430 - I feel for you - my (now 7) young dog went from being a normally socialised, if highly strung, puppy, to a fear reactive dog who cannot be allowed to interact with other dogs. She had two seasons back to back which meant she was dealing with raging hormones, and had to be kept away from other dogs, for a few months (we couldn't get her spayed during this time). She has never recovered - so I wish you luck - if any methods can help they will be Zak's - but don't be afraid to use any local services available - one to one training works well!!
I am so with you on this I was so embarrassed when we tried to take our pup out and it doesn't help we got him during the pandemic so he hasn't been around as many other people as we normally would so trying to get him use to it now is proving difficult
I love that Inertia wasn’t already perfectly trained in this video. Made me feel much better about how my non perfect training sessions go. I live in the middle of the city so leash training is difficult! Always people trains cars dogs noises etc. This helps me not be so frustrated. Also my puppy is 15 weeks old today and it has taken a while for her attention to develop so I’m hoping she’ll be able to focus better now. Thanks for the video.
I am with you. I barely am getting my 9 wk pup attention while I feed her with my had. I took her for a couple walks. And It is always a fail. I hopeful that it will get better within a month as I continue to feed her with my hand.
I think the most important thing was what you said right at the beginning, which would go over most peoples heads. You gave her a long walk then you played with her and then you started the training after. Which means she ready and finally focus.
If you have to order your dog's dog food there is no time to play, walk and train your dog. Just like kids ypur dog forms a bond with the person that trains them. The problem is that ppl do not know what care is needed for the dog that they have. Just like kids are not the same and they are different... Dogs are too.... Breeds of dogs need different things.. First and for most research the dog that you are getting even if its a rescue. Things like the very climate that they are in impacts the K-9.... Taking lesson from a single temperament or breed of dog is not always applicable to your dog..... Smmfh... Dogs are not accessories
Absolutley!! As a beginning dog trainer, I'm really trying to emphasize that hugely! In fact, really trying to separate walking on-leash from exercise at first: using the walk as a very specific exercise (with a leash just for it), in boring places like in house and backyard to learn the on-leash technique. Doing actual exercise separately using fetch, tug... Don't walk your dog while they're in training to get YOUR exercise. You both need to get your exercise by other means until leash-work is learned. 😊💕 I think that takes a lot of stress off to approach it that way.... And-- Love you Zak! You are a wonderful and skilled soul! The world is better for your being here 💕🐾🐾
My dog, 3yr old Choc Lab, trains ONLY when he wants. I can tire him out, make sure he is fed, but it doesn't matter. We might train 20 minutes or 2, when he is done he just lays down and that's it. toys, food, type of food, nothing gets him back. I wish it were this easy lol
the only problem with this is that Erik is the worst puller i have ever walked so i have to deal with that in order to start training which is kind of counter intuitive
this guy is so incredibly positive and patient. He'd be such a good special needs teacher or even just a teacher of very sensitive children. Like me. When I was young. :)
I’m an education assistant in elementary school. We got our first dog just over a month ago and it has been interesting how training her has given me even more insight into staying calm (including regulating your heart rate and body language) and confident with the kids I work with (including my own!).
Thank you for this, I’m so proud of my dog and myself, my dog did this following theses instructions, again thank you... i will start doing the clean your paws next! Warm greetings. Here is the official link: BestDogTrainingProgram.blogspot.com
This reminds me of a trick I learned from " Forward Fast Dog Training by Kelly Ferris "... If you want to get a dog to stop jumping up on people you quick turn your back on the dog when they jump and leave through the door. When dog finally stops jumping you give him a treat. Great video!
@@lucutes2936 You can just give no attention to them. After all, no attention is not good for them. Have your guests not pet your puppy until he/she is in sit position.
OK that Siri is not realistic if you have your 90 year old grandmother or anybody else that could get severely her or small child and you have an out of control asshole dog jumping everywhere are you gonna tell your 90 year old grandmother with a Walker or a 7 year old kid to turn its back so the dog can jump all over its back and scratched the shit out of it now this is ABS purely positive way doesn't work doesn't teach the dog anything at all
This video is so reassuring! I have a 5 month puppy who has difficulty paying attention to me on our walks. I thought that it was because he was testing boundaries and my leadership, but this reassures me that he just needs to learn more impulse control. And impulse control, like humans, takes time and practice to master. I no longer feel like a puppy parent failure.

This is legit the best advice/ training video I have ever seen, you not only touched on the fact that a neighborhood walk was something to work up to, but also you mentioned that we need to train the dog to be focused on us at all times and that we need to train that into them, legit this is incredible, for some reason alot of dog trainers and even vets just leave some of these integral parts out of the lesson.
Im loving this way of training. Not knit picky and obsessive or show offish. Just comes naturally. Rewarding the good ignoring the bad and staying patient.
Inertia's crawl is the cutest thing ever, I'm also happy to see that the flower on her harness made a come back. Thanks for the amazing video Zak and Bree! ♥
I tried this ONCE with my dog, and already the changes and improvements are AMAZING. I will continue doing it until he is fully trained to walk correctly!
I’m very grateful for his demeanor, willingness to offer a realistic insight into training. I have felt defeated due to seeing only end results in videos . The most important insight for me the awareness of the dogs feelings which has lead me to be more understanding and less frustration.

This is so good. Too many times we only get to see a well trained dog. Here, we get to see it from scratch, mistakes, and quick adjustments. Very well done. I just need a dog now.
I don't usually visit this channel for training, but huge kudos for showing the whole process with all the mistakes as well as the successes. Important to show the whole picture. Not enough dog training videos on RUclips do this.
Having videos like this for free on the Internet makes me so excited to have a dog! I’m adopting a 6-month old pup and have to wait a couple of months for in-person obedience classes, and this is gonna come in clutch
I loved this video because it shows realistic situations to work through. I've scanned the internet for dog training videos for walking but most times, I find videos of demonstrations with already-trained dogs so you don't see the common struggles that come with training your dog these new tricks. As a beginner, I wasnt sure if I was even doing it right because of the constant distractions but now I feel reassured! Thank you for this thorough video.
This is great, the most realistic dog walking video I’ve seen. Makes me happy that when my dog was constantly distracted and didn’t always listen that it’s okay, and you just need to keep going :)
Love how this is so real and you can see that inertia is still learning. Compared to all the other videos where the dogs respond right away. I can’t wait to try it with my pup
Always a pleasure to watch you! You inspired me to become a dog trainer as your methods aren't force or pain or anything of the sort, they are simply allowing the dog to learn and have fun! I try to recommend you to everyone I know!! Keep up the good work
I've been working with my shepherd for about 2 years. Nothing has worked until I watched your video. Have only practiced twice so far but MAJOR improvements! Thank you very much for your post!
These training tips really do work almost immediately. I’m working on training my Dachshund puppy , Jax. We watched your video and practiced walking, while using “look at me” and treats when he gets distracted, it’s working. Walking has been a challenge but with this video he has become less distracted. Thanks so very much.
"But for a dog training video, its ideal." DIED! LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂 I love how effective your positive attitude toward training seems to be. Thanx you for showing us. Also, camera perspective on point too
I love how you describe everything you do and why you're doing it, Zak. Thank you for helping me to train my new puppy - 1 1/2 year old blue heeler/GSP mix!
Thanks Zak, I have spent months watching all kinds of training videos. Your's clicked for me. I have had some success. My puppy is only 9wks old, but consistency is already paying off. I love your techniques and how you appear to really enjoy your dog and dogs you video with you.
I'm happy I found this today and it immediately gave me energy to get outside and walk. Although I don't avoid walks by any means (my dog goes 3-4x a day) they're not always the most pleasant. My pup is just over a year and tends to pull. He ignores people but needs to greet every single dog. We had 2 yappy dogs following us today and instead of walking away, we stopped and I kept my dogs attention. Thanks for this video :)
I love your videos. My pitbull has learned so much, I would be lost without your positive training videos. She still needs work in public but she’s getting there! Only a year and 5 months. :) I always take her to the park to run before going out in public. Playing fetch for 45 mins at least! helps sooo much. A good dog is a tired dog.
Seems counter intuitive but you do not NEED to walk your dog for long time , you actually risk over stimulating them...ten mins of scent work finding treats in garden or house is worth an hour of crazy running... young dogs should only have 5 mins per month of age in walks a day.... joint care way more important! Love these videos, very dog safety focussed.... 👍🏼
You have the patience of a saint. Thanks for the realistic length of video and showing the struggle. Not another 3 minute video like look my dog walks great 🤦
Soo helpful such a real life walk! I love seeing how you face all the distractions with her because sometimes I get frustrated my pup will be doing so good, then a gardener comes and all attention is gone lol
CONVERT. This video is long and I studied every second of it. My 3 year old dog and I have made incredible progress in just a few days! I can use her collar instead of a harness! This is game-changing. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video. I rescued a wild dog and have been domesticating her, I'm going to start walks soon and this video gave me a big insight on what to expect from her as well as how much more patience she is going to need from me than a regular dog.
Hey Crystal ! I would love if you would have a look at my dog training videos which would really help you get positive results and an super obedient dog 🐕🙂
So happy to have your help! It's been years since I had a puppy. You have to have a lot of time. Now I do... He's doing well with your training tips, so thank you!
I’m loving your video’s! I’m getting a Bichon Frise in about 7 week’s, As soon as he is ready to leave his mommy. I feel that after continually watching your training sessions over and over I’m equipped to hit the ground running now! Thank you Zak! Blessings to you, Brie and your furry blessings.
Love your videos- patience is key!!!! People need to consider that dogs are dogs, they don't automatically know what we want from them. Appropriate behavior to dogs is much different than human appropriate behavior
This video is exceptional! You are an amazing trainer and I love your positive association reward based training techniques! I love this video demonstrating real life challenges of walking a dog outside in an actual busy neighborhood! Thank you so much for sharing your videos on RUclips! Our dog is a rescue from S. Korea DMt so she is very fearful and gets extremely uncomfortable leaving our yard. She gets spooked by overstimulation and drags me home in a total panic. I didn't want to keep forcing her because it sets her back so I avoided it but this inspires me to keep trying, even just a little at a time and work in small sections. I need to limit her exposure and allow her to build her confidence. Thank you again! I've had 3 behavioral trainers and our girl is extremely food motivated but not when distracted and scared by things outside. After watching this I'm ready to try again and may ask a few neighbors to be outside to be ready with a few treats so she has something exciting to look forward to as we make our way down the street! ♥️🐕 thanks again! This video is one of the best I've seen!
Love this video! My dog is border/cattle and has so much respect to learn constantly comparing our two dogs and seeing where he can learn what I’m watching. Glad yours isn’t a pro just yet our dogs are similar. Mine has a bit more energy but is learning slowly thanks so much
Its such a relief to see a dog that is untrained and how this actually works in practice. Thank you . I’ve learnt so much but most importantly I’m learning patience and perseverance 🙏🏻
I find it with my dog if I do a “training” walk for 10 minutes and we cover a new area in the neighbourhood, the way back is easier. Usually I go back the same way for that reason. Thanks for your videos! Good to see a trainer go through the same issues.
I tried this tonight on my aussie who is 3 months old. I wasnt walking her bc everytime on the way out the door it was look out pulling. I tried his techniques and Holy crap night and day difference. Im so glad I found this channel!!
She reminds me so much of my 1 year old Tervuren here. He's super easily distracted, and he's very fascinated by birds. I'm working on desensitizing him to it, but he still acts like a puppy most of the time.
Wow this is so motivating! I'm not doing much training with my rescue yorkie mix because I'm hopelessely lazy and impatient, but maybe I'll start teaching him some new tricks. It's so educational to see how much progress Inertia made in the long term - in some videos she looks kind of too wild (I would just give up) and now look at her! I'm impressed.
Your channel is so inspiring! I have a 5-month-old puppy and I studied your videos before I even got him and it helped me so much. Anytime I'm feeling frustrated or discouraged your videos help me stay on track and feel better. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for making videos with dogs that have real challenges, and for being open and honest in your training methods. I’ve watched far too many training videos with dogs that have already been trained to work the challenge being presented. I’ve seen so many trainers who only want to show their own perfection. The end result is a video that leaves the viewer feeling defeated.
Our Aussie was HORRIBLE on a leash. We dreaded walks, we tried books etc, and nothing. I watched this video and we did this 2 times a day for 2 days, and Moose is perfect!!
My aussie is sometimes good, and other times awful on walks. At her worst she’ll practically be carving up the sidewalk in an attempt to get to a nearby stranger. It’s a work in progress. Glad Moose is doing well now!
@@QuorasTrueScaryStories it has been a process! After that comment he had a bad day then a good week. Now it’s only when we are walking to the beach that he is bad. But to be fair... I’m the same way when we are going to get chicken wings. So I get it.
when I started watching you Inertia was a little puppy and I watched just for fun but now I think I might have a puppy soon and that will help me to train it
This is dog training. My dog is super excited (my fault probably). I have to do this stuff. A walk with no pre-destination. Remove the expectations. Omg, I am at the look at me part, bro, I have tried this step. Good video bro.
My expectations for my puppy were high. Then I saw this video and I’m reminded that it’s important to take baby steps. Thank you for the helpful video!
Thanks Zak! Can you show what the more relaxed walk looks like (the one before the training walk) if a dog hasn't learned to stop pulling? Is Inertia allowed to pull during this more relaxed walk? Does that negate the training walk? We sometimes actually do need to get somewhere with our dog Potet, but don't want to undo the little steps forward in our training.
When I'm stumped about a dog training client I have, I come to Zak's videos. He always has good advice, and positive and healthy methods. Inertia is a perfect demo dog.
I know you say its a bit embarrassing to you that you re a dog trainer and inertia is the way she is, but honestly its far more helpful for me watching to see a dog like her and learn how she is being taught. I'm getting an Aussie puppy in a month when he is ready to come home and seeing you with her rather than a well behaved dog gives confidence. I've had dogs with what I call an unruly personality and I understand the training process so much better seeing the fails with Inertia than other training videos. So thank you for continuing to share how to train this type of personality instead of just an obedient dog. You make me feel like I can succeed no matter what personality the puppy has.
This was such a great video. It covers so much. I am obsessed with your videos. I have 2 designer doodles puppies under the age of 8 months and we are trying all of your tricks and tips!

Thank you for dealing with the bullies who insist this training doesn't work. I have a 3yr old Cocker Spaniel who is a dream because of your training and I didn't have to hurt her to get that.
Fish n' Tricks every dog is different and every dog learns differently and your dog may have learned very well with positive reinforcement but your next dog may not. And I hope you don’t think that balanced trainers train through pain, cause that is definitely not what true balanced trainers do.
@@faithm.4084 I know the different training methods out there and I've decided what I will or will not use on any life I'm ever responsible for. Pain, dominance, etc being some of those things. Positive achieves amazing things, it just isn't the "fastest' answer and humans tend to be impatient and think it's not working if it isn't immediate. Like I've already said multiple times, I won't tell others what they can and can't do. I only have power over me and mine and we choose positive reinforcement.
The “not getting frustrated” part is the hardest for me 😅
me too, the leash is giving me blisters from how much my boy pulls🤭

I love how you always think about and consider what the dog could be thinking or feeling! Love your videos
This is so good. Too many times we only get to see a well trained dog. Here, we get to see it from scratch, mistakes, and quick adjustments. Very well done. I just need a dog now.
I don't usually visit this channel for training, but huge kudos for showing the whole process with all the mistakes as well as the successes. Important to show the whole picture. Not enough dog training videos on RUclips do this.
Having videos like this for free on the Internet makes me so excited to have a dog! I’m adopting a 6-month old pup and have to wait a couple of months for in-person obedience classes, and this is gonna come in clutch
How did it go with your dog?
Your untrained dog behaves better than my trained dog
My dog doesn’t respond to treats. I’ve tried many different types of treats. She’s not interested. How else can I get her to listen?
@@ginawilcox3079 all I could say is use a variety of treats or use little pieces of meat , helped me
@@ginawilcox3079 Try a toy or just petting him as a reward. It doesn't have to be food.
Gina, you have to starve your dog, and feed her whilst training.
@marianaarias sounds like your dog.... isn’t trained then?!
"This got real very quick" 🤣 so true! Love how you share true training scenarios. This was so helpful, can't wait to try tomorrow with my pup.😊
I loved this video because it shows realistic situations to work through. I've scanned the internet for dog training videos for walking but most times, I find videos of demonstrations with already-trained dogs so you don't see the common struggles that come with training your dog these new tricks. As a beginner, I wasnt sure if I was even doing it right because of the constant distractions but now I feel reassured! Thank you for this thorough video.
J R could try Tom Davis upstate academy as well, he is a balanced trainer
This is great, the most realistic dog walking video I’ve seen. Makes me happy that when my dog was constantly distracted and didn’t always listen that it’s okay, and you just need to keep going :)
Shared this with a friend who’s yorkie is pulling and barking at passing dogs. Thanks for posting!
that's probably reactivity check some videos on that ruclips.net/video/JS9Tc7DTONk/видео.html
I have two yorkies that had that problem. Teaching them "look at me" really helped.
MLEvlog hey!! I also have some good videos on my channel reated to Yorkie Training. Definitely have a look! I would appreciate it
Love how this is so real and you can see that inertia is still learning. Compared to all the other videos where the dogs respond right away. I can’t wait to try it with my pup
Always a pleasure to watch you!
You inspired me to become a dog trainer as your methods aren't force or pain or anything of the sort, they are simply allowing the dog to learn and have fun!
I try to recommend you to everyone I know!!
Keep up the good work
I've been working with my shepherd for about 2 years. Nothing has worked until I watched your video. Have only practiced twice so far but MAJOR improvements! Thank you very much for your post!
These training tips really do work almost immediately. I’m working on training my Dachshund puppy , Jax. We watched your video and practiced walking, while using “look at me” and treats when he gets distracted, it’s working. Walking has been a challenge but with this video he has become less distracted. Thanks so very much.
"But for a dog training video, its ideal."
DIED! LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how effective your positive attitude toward training seems to be.
Thanx you for showing us.
Also, camera perspective on point too
Sidewalk: *exists*
Zak: *walks in the middle of the road*
Probably so the dog doesn't pee on anyone's grass :)
😂 right? The mom in me was screaming to get out of the road
Ikr I be like get out of the road
Sidewalk: *exists*
Zak: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that
Lisa Anne nah. He did that to teach his dog that the street isn’t that exciting, and inertia should still keep focus on him rather than the road.
I love how you describe everything you do and why you're doing it, Zak. Thank you for helping me to train my new puppy - 1 1/2 year old blue heeler/GSP mix!
Thanks Zak, I have spent months watching all kinds of training videos. Your's clicked for me. I have had some success. My puppy is only 9wks old, but consistency is already paying off. I love your techniques and how you appear to really enjoy your dog and dogs you video with you.
I'm happy I found this today and it immediately gave me energy to get outside and walk. Although I don't avoid walks by any means (my dog goes 3-4x a day) they're not always the most pleasant. My pup is just over a year and tends to pull. He ignores people but needs to greet every single dog. We had 2 yappy dogs following us today and instead of walking away, we stopped and I kept my dogs attention. Thanks for this video :)
I love your videos. My pitbull has learned so much, I would be lost without your positive training videos. She still needs work in public but she’s getting there! Only a year and 5 months. :) I always take her to the park to run before going out in public. Playing fetch for 45 mins at least! helps sooo much. A good dog is a tired dog.
A goal you should set for yourself if working in downing that time. 45 mins sounds too long to me and could be at risk for overstimulation.
My half pit bull 1 year old freaks out and screeches and rolls over when I put his leash on his collar. It’s like he panics. I don’t understand.
Seems counter intuitive but you do not NEED to walk your dog for long time , you actually risk over stimulating them...ten mins of scent work finding treats in garden or house is worth an hour of crazy running... young dogs should only have 5 mins per month of age in walks a day.... joint care way more important! Love these videos, very dog safety focussed.... 👍🏼
You have the patience of a saint. Thanks for the realistic length of video and showing the struggle. Not another 3 minute video like look my dog walks great 🤦
Wow she is doing so well in her training. Keep it up!
Love your patience, appreciate such a realistic video!
HI ZAK IM A HUGE FAN INERTIA IS DOING SO WELL!!! CONGRATS 🥳
It is so nice to see a dog trainer who rewards behaviors he wants the dog to do rather than punish the behaviors he doesn't want him to do!
ahhhhh!! the little flower on her harness! Im so obsessed. Inertia is such a pretty girl
I love how you are positive and kind when training.
Soo helpful such a real life walk! I love seeing how you face all the distractions with her because sometimes I get frustrated my pup will be doing so good, then a gardener comes and all attention is gone lol
Inertia is a gorgeous dog, and very intelligent.
CONVERT. This video is long and I studied every second of it. My 3 year old dog and I have made incredible progress in just a few days! I can use her collar instead of a harness! This is game-changing. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video. I rescued a wild dog and have been domesticating her, I'm going to start walks soon and this video gave me a big insight on what to expect from her as well as how much more patience she is going to need from me than a regular dog.
Without your videos me and my new pup Milo would be lost. You help me understand him and his drives. Thank you!
Hey Crystal ! I would love if you would have a look at my dog training videos which would really help you get positive results and an super obedient dog 🐕🙂
So happy to have your help! It's been years since I had a puppy. You have to have a lot of time. Now I do... He's doing well with your training tips, so thank you!
Oh that pulling was so relateable! My dog loves to bury her nose in every interesting patch of grass.
Same,and I don't know how to avoid it,she is just so curious about everything!
Wow such a successful first leash work for Inertia. Congrats to both!! And thanks so much for sharing such a real life training situation.
I’m loving your video’s! I’m getting a Bichon Frise in about 7 week’s, As soon as he is ready to leave his mommy. I feel that after continually watching your training sessions over and over I’m equipped to hit the ground running now! Thank you Zak! Blessings to you, Brie and your furry blessings.
Zak if no one ever told you you are a lifesaver!! I love you for these videos man.
OMG , i like how effective your positive attitude toward dog training seems to be
Love your videos- patience is key!!!! People need to consider that dogs are dogs, they don't automatically know what we want from them. Appropriate behavior to dogs is much different than human appropriate behavior
🔥🙌
This video is exceptional! You are an amazing trainer and I love your positive association reward based training techniques! I love this video demonstrating real life challenges of walking a dog outside in an actual busy neighborhood! Thank you so much for sharing your videos on RUclips! Our dog is a rescue from S. Korea DMt so she is very fearful and gets extremely uncomfortable leaving our yard. She gets spooked by overstimulation and drags me home in a total panic. I didn't want to keep forcing her because it sets her back so I avoided it but this inspires me to keep trying, even just a little at a time and work in small sections. I need to limit her exposure and allow her to build her confidence. Thank you again! I've had 3 behavioral trainers and our girl is extremely food motivated but not when distracted and scared by things outside. After watching this I'm ready to try again and may ask a few neighbors to be outside to be ready with a few treats so she has something exciting to look forward to as we make our way down the street! ♥️🐕 thanks again! This video is one of the best I've seen!
Love this video! My dog is border/cattle and has so much respect to learn constantly comparing our two dogs and seeing where he can learn what I’m watching. Glad yours isn’t a pro just yet our dogs are similar. Mine has a bit more energy but is learning slowly thanks so much
Early! I love your videos and Anertia! You are doing a great job with her and I am learning a lot!
Its such a relief to see a dog that is untrained and how this actually works in practice. Thank you . I’ve learnt so much but most importantly I’m learning patience and perseverance 🙏🏻
🤗💜🙌
I find it with my dog if I do a “training” walk for 10 minutes and we cover a new area in the neighbourhood, the way back is easier. Usually I go back the same way for that reason. Thanks for your videos! Good to see a trainer go through the same issues.
I have a 2 year old jack Russell who has pretty bad leash manners, and seeing your dog’s reactions and how you deal with them is really helpful!
Zak George always with the fresh kicks
Watching Zak train with our 12 week old Yorkie and she keeps sitting and watching intently. So fun!
“Thanks for looking at me instead of that dog poop.” 🤣🤣🤣
I tried this tonight on my aussie who is 3 months old. I wasnt walking her bc everytime on the way out the door it was look out pulling. I tried his techniques and Holy crap night and day difference. Im so glad I found this channel!!
I FEEL so much better at my walks with my dog, when I see this 😂 He's a professional dog trainer and he also barely get his young dog to listen to him
Legitimately the best advice I've received. I could see the difference. Its a long road but I appreciate this so much.
She reminds me so much of my 1 year old Tervuren here.
He's super easily distracted, and he's very fascinated by birds. I'm working on desensitizing him to it, but he still acts like a puppy most of the time.
This video has encouraged me to try again with my pup. Thank you Zak.
One of your most valuable training sessions for us. Love the extended session. Thank you!
Thanks for the many vdos on dog training zak.U r actually the trainer of my dog
Wow this is so motivating! I'm not doing much training with my rescue yorkie mix because I'm hopelessely lazy and impatient, but maybe I'll start teaching him some new tricks. It's so educational to see how much progress Inertia made in the long term - in some videos she looks kind of too wild (I would just give up) and now look at her! I'm impressed.
Your channel is so inspiring! I have a 5-month-old puppy and I studied your videos before I even got him and it helped me so much. Anytime I'm feeling frustrated or discouraged your videos help me stay on track and feel better. Thank you!
She is soo cute😍 I have a 11 week old puppy and we are working on obedience. She is doings well with you!
Thank you SO much for making videos with dogs that have real challenges, and for being open and honest in your training methods.
I’ve watched far too many training videos with dogs that have already been trained to work the challenge being presented. I’ve seen so many trainers who only want to show their own perfection. The end result is a video that leaves the viewer feeling defeated.
Our Aussie was HORRIBLE on a leash. We dreaded walks, we tried books etc, and nothing. I watched this video and we did this 2 times a day for 2 days, and Moose is perfect!!
My aussie is sometimes good, and other times awful on walks. At her worst she’ll practically be carving up the sidewalk in an attempt to get to a nearby stranger. It’s a work in progress. Glad Moose is doing well now!
@@QuorasTrueScaryStories it has been a process! After that comment he had a bad day then a good week. Now it’s only when we are walking to the beach that he is bad. But to be fair... I’m the same way when we are going to get chicken wings. So I get it.
These videos gave me encouragement. My dog has basic training but she’s really not well behaved so this feels good to see that I can fix this
I see you a low key sneaker head respect
Gotem I would love to see him on sneaker shopping 😂
LoL, fresh kicks, 90s jeans, dad shirt LoL. Love his videos for my new puppy but he will shame my style even when he's casual.
Stereo smelling...your the real deal sir thank you..consistent patient effort is everything
when I started watching you Inertia was a little puppy and I watched just for fun but now I think I might have a puppy soon and that will help me to train it
I have my puppy in 2 weeks and I am soooo excited ! I’m watching your videos religiously 🙏🏻
This is dog training. My dog is super excited (my fault probably). I have to do this stuff. A walk with no pre-destination. Remove the expectations. Omg, I am at the look at me part, bro, I have tried this step. Good video bro.
My expectations for my puppy were high. Then I saw this video and I’m reminded that it’s important to take baby steps. Thank you for the helpful video!
Thanks Zak! Can you show what the more relaxed walk looks like (the one before the training walk) if a dog hasn't learned to stop pulling? Is Inertia allowed to pull during this more relaxed walk? Does that negate the training walk? We sometimes actually do need to get somewhere with our dog Potet, but don't want to undo the little steps forward in our training.
When I'm stumped about a dog training client I have, I come to Zak's videos. He always has good advice, and positive and healthy methods. Inertia is a perfect demo dog.
its 4am and Ive just realised this was posted, sleep can wait
Amanda Dorland go to sleep
Thanks for the bit on digging .. advice gave me hope for my 15 week old puppy..
I know you say its a bit embarrassing to you that you re a dog trainer and inertia is the way she is, but honestly its far more helpful for me watching to see a dog like her and learn how she is being taught. I'm getting an Aussie puppy in a month when he is ready to come home and seeing you with her rather than a well behaved dog gives confidence. I've had dogs with what I call an unruly personality and I understand the training process so much better seeing the fails with Inertia than other training videos. So thank you for continuing to share how to train this type of personality instead of just an obedient dog. You make me feel like I can succeed no matter what personality the puppy has.
I tried using this method... works like a charm !!
Hey Zak, is it still okay to go on normal walks that aren't training in between sessions? Or will that continue to solidify bad habits?
This was such a great video. It covers so much. I am obsessed with your videos. I have 2 designer doodles puppies under the age of 8 months and we are trying all of your tricks and tips!
This is hard because my dog will not take treats from me while we are on walks. He is too interested in everything else.
Hey! If you need any extra help teaching your dog how to walk nicely I have literally just uploaded a video on my channel! Obviously all dogs are different so I break down 5 different techniques that I use to teach loose lead walking :) I’m sure it will help you :)
@@TheCanineCoachDogTraining Hi I will check out your channel and that video.
Use a prong collar
xpudsygaminx Diverse no. Teach the dog properly.
Try practicing in a less distracting place and slowly work your way up to a distracting place
Thank you for dealing with the bullies who insist this training doesn't work. I have a 3yr old Cocker Spaniel who is a dream because of your training and I didn't have to hurt her to get that.
Fish n' Tricks every dog is different and every dog learns differently and your dog may have learned very well with positive reinforcement but your next dog may not. And I hope you don’t think that balanced trainers train through pain, cause that is definitely not what true balanced trainers do.
@@faithm.4084 I know the different training methods out there and I've decided what I will or will not use on any life I'm ever responsible for.
Pain, dominance, etc being some of those things.
Positive achieves amazing things, it just isn't the "fastest' answer and humans tend to be impatient and think it's not working if it isn't immediate.
Like I've already said multiple times, I won't tell others what they can and can't do. I only have power over me and mine and we choose positive reinforcement.
