I've been training my mixed breed since I was 10 (I'm now 13) and we went to our first NADAC trial in July. She was eliminated for leaving the ring, but I was proud of her. She and I are in a dog training club, and we competed at our local fair and she got third place in novice tunnelers!
Wow! That’s great!!!!! I am entering my dog for the first time at the end of this October and i hope he does well! And me he is scared of the teeter but we are working on it and he is doing great! And I am still working on my blind crosses😫
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
This stuff is crucial for good physical and mental health, hiking is just not enough, when any creature just does one type of exercise they get bored but get overuse injuries. Video tape your dog and keep it showing how they walk, jog, run, jump, so you can see over time how they do, but also to make sure your dog is not overusing or having issues. It is such a perfect tool, besides a good memory of having fun. This works for kids too, we use it for athletes all the time. Thanks Zak and Trevor.
immediately distracted by the squirrel on the wire at 3:37
this was an amazing video thank you , i would love to buy equipment where would I buy.?
Same
DaniiTea yeah same
Baha’i me too
Oh good! Not just me!
Nice videos for those starting out! I remember teaching weaves over at the park by carrying my jump and equipment, fast forward 7 years later and I can’t believe it’s now my full time work and love every moment ❤️
I just recently got some cones to start teaching my dog Bentley to weave between them, so seeing this was great timing and has given me some ideas. I always look forward to a new video from you Zak!
It would be great to know where you got these obstacles so we can buy them and train at home.
Krys F There's a lot of places. Affordable Agility, Clean Run, even eBay and some people make their own.
Krys F Amazon eBay s
Amazon or just make them
You can get them at amazon online! They’re quite expensive tho
Ya
Awesome! I’m going to start teaching my 6 month old Welsh Collie agility! So excited 😍
Awesome! Do more of these videos please!!!!!
3:35 - SQUIRREL!
Where?
love this !!one of my girls LOVES running and leaping like she's flying I'm sure she's going to love this
Excellent job Trevor!!!
Zak is the best!
I really enjoyed this one, because I will probably be doing this in september with my toypoodle Demi. I really like that you made this for people who want to do a bit more than the usual training and tricks. Right now, I am doing "clicker fun" with Demi, she really enjoys it!
For the weave poles, I used the plastic stakes used for signs or fences. For something to jump through, I would use a holahoop
I'm getting an Irish Setter puppy in three weeks. Totally can't wait to teach her agility!
I would love to see a video on jogging and cycling with a dog! Please make a video on it Zak, thank you :)
Thanks for doing this video!! I am planning to do agility with Lily and then complete with 4-h or our dog training club
When I was thinking of getting a border collie, I was planning on doing some of this. She's still a tiny little 5 month old, but I'm about to buy a kit which has all the same equipment he shows here. I think it's a good time to start, just for the mental and physical exercise aspects. Not planning on taking her into competitions or anything.
Thanks a bunch, I'm gonna go sub to Doggie Dojo too. ^_^
Love your videos, they're so helpful and easy to follow! VID SUGGESTION/PLEA: Could you please do a video on how to stop your dog from scavenging/ eating everything outside when they're off leash or out on a walk? It's not really "leave it", more like their habit of constantly searching and 'Vacuuming' everything on the ground!
Thank you so much :)
zak your the best dog trainer i know
My Chiweenie loves the tunnel. He goes in there even when we're not training lol
OMG I love this video
I am glad you made this video, as this is something I am quite looking forward to doing with my newly adopted dog - as soon as she finishes her heartworm treatment. As a fellow New Orleanian, you know how rampant heartworm disease is here. Could you do a video on crate rest? I am struggling with my very bright, but very very bored dog. She is becoming territorial, overly vocal and depressed - and she absolutely cannot be exercised.
We are getting a border collie in 2 months and it was born yesterday so I’m rlly excited to train him this
That advert was seamless bravo
I think both Daisy and her human are awesome!! Great training video! Bravo and thank you! I'd like to see any of ur critics & problem finders do any better! They probly dont even have a dog! Go Daisy!!
These videos are soooooooo soooooooo help full to me and my dog thnx for creating these vids
Great video..thanks!!
We took Pani to his first puppy play session and there was an agility tunnel. He was being chased by five puppies so he ran thru the tunnel and then jumped over middle of the tunnel with no coaching. All the puppiy parents went nuts.
lmao. the squirrel running on the power lines in the background of 3:35
Yessssss thank you
I have a 7 year old Boxer X Blueheeler, and she’s very driven by food. I only have a couple of barbecue table benches and some random pole I use in between them. She did it without the lead for the first time today.
And I have a 15 year old border collie X, who would love to do it but unfortunately can’t even walk up stairs.
Awww
Too cutee🥺🥺❤️
My dog did Agility for the first time and I put it on You Tube. I knew he had potential because the first time he went to puppy play he was being chased by five puppies and he ran thru an agility tunnel and then came around and jumped over the tunnel.
I've really been trying to do agility training with my German shepherd and husky my boyfriend and I plan on building our own agility course!
Great video!!
So glad you liked it!
Daisy is so cute ❤️
where did you buy the equipment? I normally make it at HomeDepot but these looks way better.
There’s a lot on amazon
There’s a lot of cheap stuff on the Facebook marketplace
My dog is 7 months old and he is a blue heeler/border collie cross. I have been training him for agility since I got him. He has a long ways to go but I think it will all be worth it
Yeah, the training does take quite a bit of time. But you're right, it's worth it even if it's just for fun, not competition. I trained my previous Pom to do agility and am now starting with my current Pom. Have fun.
I was just thinking yesterday that I want to do agility with my dog. I have a giant backyard and could set up an awesome course for him. please make more of these videos!
ASMRyouVEGANyet? I'd like to see videos of you doing that
Captain Usopp maybe one day.... I'm techphobic...lol.
awesome video, getting my little terrier mix started and I hope we both have tons of fun!!
Is there any site that tells you the rules and obstacles for each size of dog?
BORDER COLLIE OMG I LOVE THEMMM
This is awesome! Thank you 😊 My dog Sydney will be a pro 😅 lol fingers crossed 🤞
Hi Zac, I just love your videos. I love your philisophie of how to train a dog. Today video is fantastic for poeples who whant to move with there dog. I think it would be important to say that we can not do these exercises before 10 or 12 months old. We have to wait until his body is strong anought to do this. Sorry about my bad english, this is my 2e langage.
Dogs should not jump until 18 months. The other obstacles are fine until then, though.
dogs are so awesome: seriously I would give anything for one. I love dogs so much rthat if one was even only a little sad, I would start crying
lostinYourReality 👎
We need PetFlow in the UK xx
So fun
Wow Daisy acts like a puppy, amazing !!!
Your amazing
That squirrel made me laugh 😂
Hey zak we're thinking of getting a new puppy we want to know how to pick out the right name. Thanks Zak your a great trainer!!!
I always thought it was too hard to train an adult dog agility but daisy started when she was 5 so I will give it a go with my border collie!
Love it! Can you show how I can get my GSD started in Flyball?
Yes! I think my border collie would be great, as she can be a little impatient, so obedience wouldn't be a great fit, and I feel like she would just walk around agility obstacles.
I use the method you use for training my dog with treats. but now he won't do anything unless he sees that I have a treat in my hand
You've probably been 'baiting' him in your training, by luring with a treat instead of simply rewarding with it. Rub a hot dog slice on your hands until they smell like the treat, but leave your treats on a counter nearby. Then, let your dog smell your hands and ask him to sit. Immediately give him the treat from the counter. Eventually, he should start to trust that even if a treat isn't in your hands, he'll be rewarded. Also, try putting a treat in your pocket without your dog seeing. At a random time during the day, ask him to sit. If he complies, praise him and treat him immediately with the treat you've stashed in your pocket. He'll learn that a treat can come from anywhere at any time, so he'd better obey. I hope that this helps. :)
I think there should be dog parks that aren’t just fenced areas, but that have agility equipment for dogs. If owners don’t have proper space or materials for a backyard agility course, they can use a public one (if they existed).
the amazing truckosaurus Not sure you'd want a bunch of dogs together in a dog park setting with an agility course on it.
There are some facilities that will rent out their courses for use. However, they will usually only rent out to this experienced with agility.
What I've done besides rentals is looking into run thrus (for those who are experienced) or there's a fenced in field that I go to when it's not used. I set up some of my portable jumps, tunnel, and or weave poles to practice little sequences and skills in between my classes. There are quite a few people I know who practice in parks (NOT dog parks) or fenced fields like this.
iBC eager to pleased used to have BC and they smart as a whip, Zak i want to know where he got Daisy from. Thank you very happy to see this daisy and you
It's interesting to see in the comments how many dog enthusiasts are attracted to the squirrel running on the wire at 3:37 .......Who knew ? Apparently dog enthusiasts have a very high prey drive !!!!!
Recently did a lot of research regarding dogs and color, I am wondering why the majority of dog agility gear available for purchase is in the color of yellow, this is known as a color that dogs can see but blends in with grass trees etc. Do you have any other tips and tricks for making our own dog agility equipment or a link to where we can get quality equipment online? The color topic is of interest to me specifically. Thank you
MagDump28 that is very interesting, I would love o know that too.
MagDump28 its also usually in blue, blue sticks out more to dogs
MagDump28 GO see THE dog log SHE made diy agility stuff
It is because of the colors they see. They see blue and yellow better then red for example
I'm not certain but I would guess it goes back to the days when it was believed that dogs could only see in black and white with varying shades of grey so the humans choose colors without that being a consideration. Dogs are basically blind to Christmas since they cannot see reds and green. I have purchased my equipment from www.affordableagility.com They seem to have frequent sales on products so it pays to be on there email list.
Can you make one were you go to pet smart and pick out stuff you recommend for pit bulls please btw I love your vids and I know that they will help me a lot with my new pup
Hey Zak! I have a rehomed 3year old lab that id love to be able to train off leash, but he's a monster! besides the terrible leash pulling, hes a huge runner and when he escapes hes determined not to be caught. We have a younger 8mo. old dog who is doing pretty well, we are trying to start long-leash training since I gets so distracted with smells (coonhound)
is there any way I can turn around my labs behavior?
Zak can you train a stubborn Belgian Malinois please🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello Zak! I am getting a mini golden doodle and would like some recommendations on good exercise techniques for older puppies/ young dogs.
Abby S go running, make your own agility course, I have a pug, I make him ride on all the stuff at the park and do jumps over balance beams and slide down slides, he especially likes the slide.
its great luring practice
3:39 squirrel :D
Me too
Was it just me or were you automatically distracted by the squirrel😋😛
Why, what else was happening?
Hey Zak,I want a gsd or a lab puppy which is better for me??
Hey Zak, your videos are awesome! They have really helped me with my dog though I started training him when he was 4 months old. The one problem I face with him is his food aggression. He does not like when any one walks around him when he is having his meals. He also injured a family member due to this. Can you please show me a way to stop this habit. He is 8 months old.
Is there a best one to start with?
hi umm i just wanted to know if you could make a video on why dogs are agrresive twards your friends and how to get your dog to stop?please abd thank you
Brianna cabello97 well it could be their scent or they are trying to protect you.👍🏼
Its protection.. If your dog and your friends start to get a friendship they will stop! :)
My dog is a border collie boxer mix, and she can run and jump like crazy. She runs next to a car going 25 mph, and one time actually jumped a 5 foot pile of mulch bags. I'm very disappointed because she's 7 now and doesn't have much obedience
where do you get weave poles that channel out like that?
Where do u get your agility equipment?
Where can I get the weaving poles you use?
Where did you get the weave poles at?
Most intelligent dog breed for a reason!
How do you get the obstacles
My dog (profile picture) is very reactive to other dogs. I don't know if she wants to attacks them or play with them.
When she sees a dog her ears pluck up, and her fur is standing up (making her look bigger). If the dog is in a certain range she starts to growl, bark and then lunge towards them.
I now tend to hide behind cars, but in some situations that is nearly impossible, and she just makes an embarrassing scene. I just want her to be less stressed and have a fun life, but this is making it near impossible.
(She was brought up with a fantastic Labrador who loved everyone/thing, and now lives with my chihuahua mix who she plays with frequently)
Just cause your dog is a golden retriever, I'd say she's just trying to be playful. They aren't really known for being aggressive towards strangers. The ears going up could just be due to the fact that she's now alert of another dog, but if the fur stands up this is usually due to being anxious. I wouldn't be too worried about the growling, barking, and lunging though because that doesn't mean anything bad, the only thing you can take from it is that they're excited about the new dog in their sight.
I don't think she is too stressed, just that she wants to play with everyone she can, since you did raise her with playful dogs. If you want to stop or lessen the excited reaction this, Zak did make a video with a German Shepherd going through walking your dog without them getting distracted, can't remember what it was though. I'd just bring treats on walks, and whenever this happens, just call for her name and reward her whenever her attentions stays on you vs the new dog.
Hope this helps you with your dog! (she looks very cute)
I would recommend consulting with a positive animal behaviorist. A private consult can help you relax a little (no new dogs in the room with you) and when you first contact them, make sure you provide details of the behaviors you see from your dog and any patterns. For example, try to describe the vocalizations as much as you can (high pitched, low pitched, long tones, short staccato sounds, whiny, growly), is she baring teeth, is she air snapping. Also try to make note of whether she seems to be triggered by the sight of the other dog, the sound of the other dog (like barks or even just the jingle of dog tags from a distance). A good behaviorist will help you come up with a plan that prioritizes safety and your dog's well-being and gradually help your dog cope with the stress of her triggers. Or she might refer you to a colleague or a specialist, just someone who might be even more effective for your case.
I have a lab that does the same sweetest thing but she does try to attack and unfortunately has gotten in some scruffles so embarrassing I try my best
Mr. Mojo shouldn't assume whether a dog is aggressive or not based in it's breed.
The fur standing up is called raising the hackles, which is a sign of aggression.
I got my tunnel today and I already can have it completely curved and she still does it
Zak, my lab puppy is about 5-6 months old. I'll be honest and say, I didn't stay on his training like I should have and he has learned some bad habits. Could you do a video about correcting behaviour? Also, he gets really possessive when eating and growls (and will bite) someone who even gets near him... how can I fix that?
ZAK I NEED YOUR HELP! My dog has trouble riding in my car.. it keeps on whining. Can u make a video about car training and how to make your dog to love the car? Please I love your videos
Not sure if it’s been asked before. I just got a border collie and I want to train him for dog agility. What age should I start training him?
He's really good also at dog training too
could you please do a video on how to teach your dog to play soccer?
This is off subject but my dog has food aggression, she growled when we tried to take her food off her, and then we tried a technique for 2 weeks and it worked then every once in while we take her bowl off her and she's fine. But this time today she growled but not just once like she use to multiple times.
Me and my family are thinking of getting a belgian malinois so I am looking at things to train it. I want to train it agility.
Whats the distance of the way pole?
zak do you have a small or big dog?
hi zak He need some serious help. I have a Jack Russel terrier cross with a wippet. he lives with two other dogs so he clearly knows how to interact with other dogs but if I meet anyone on a walk with a dog he flips out. even if he can see a dog from over 100m away he will lock on and I can't break his focus. I have tried everything I know. any suggestions?
squirrel!!!
That's amazing! Is she a collie?
Marie Francis yeah they say it in the video
Wow
Can you do some new videos on frisbee? Now that the weather is getting nice I want to start teaching my terrier how to play, the only problem is that he lives up to the terrier name and would rather smell things, pee on things, or if I do get him to chase the frisbee he goes and chews on it. Even if I put him on a long line he braces himself at the other end and chews on the frisbee. How do I get him more interested in the frisbee and bringing it back right now we're using food to teach him to fetch but I want the frisbee to be the reward.
How about a video on how to teach a dog to use a tread mill with you and eventually on its own.
How can you stop your dog from biting and ripping the curtains or chairs
Quarantine got me like: why aren’t they wearing masks tho?
Realizing this is from 3 years ago👁👄👁
Oof got that
zak do you know if littler dog could maybe do that?
Absolutely! Small dogs participate in agility and other dog sports all of the time!
My dog keeps biting and destroying things. Any tips on how to stop him from destroying things. I read about some articles and they said i shouldn't yell or shout at him. Can you please help :)
Lol my names Trevor Smith too 😂
So I'm looking into SAR and the requirements needed before volunteering. Dare I say it, I'm the man for the job but paying for training, certification and survival equipment out of my own pocket just ain't gonna fly. Oh well, good luck to anyone lost / stuck in the woods....
