Socializing is one of the most important things you can do with a new puppy or dog. And it’s much more than just introducing them to other dogs and people! Here’s how to socialize your dog in a busy environment so they don't get overwhelmed. You can use this process with your new dog or any dog who needs some help learning how to be good in public around people, other dogs, sounds, cars, bikes, planes, trains, wild animals, and anything else you can think of. What is your dog interested in when they go out in public? What distracts them? Will they pay attention to you when you ask no matter what is going on around them?

Great video about exposing a puppy to new things, Bree's camera work and both your jobs editing make it so clear on seeing cues from the puppy
I was watching a TV program about training difficult dogs. Someone asked for help with their little dog who was “vicious” towards other dogs. But I could see that when he was pulling towards the other dog barking, the other dog was doing play bows! A big clue about what was really going on!
how did you know that this is exactly what i needed! i also needed to know if not responding to treats outside of my home was normal… thank you for your videos zak!
There could be several reasons your dog doesn't take treats outside your home. The first could be that the dog is simply over-stimulated (over-excited) by all the new sights and smells, especially if your treats aren't of high value (say kibble vs. hot dogs). The dog is more interested in sniffing the smells, watching the world go by, meeting other people/dogs, etc. than he is in you and your boring treats. The second is that your dog is frightened or anxious about the new environment, new people/dogs. Your clue as to which is which will be your dog's body language. Watch for things like a tail tucked between the legs, "whale eye", yawning, licking the lips, body posture (hunched body posture), turning away, trying to leave the situation, etc. Those are all signs that your dog is fearful. Having said that, be cognizant of context as well, if your dog just woke up from a nap and yawns, he's likely not fearful. If he just finished licking some wonderful peanut butter and he's licking his lips, he's likely not fearful. But yawns and lip licks out of "context" can indicate anxiety or fearfulness. In any event, back up and introduce distractions more slowly and if you're using low value treats, try higher value treats if your dog is more interested in what's going around him than he is in you. If your dog is fearful, high value treats are unlikely to work (which is another cue as to what your dog is feeling). If your dog is fearful, fear not. You can help your dog overcome his fear!
Zak is so good with dogs. Love his training.
He really isnt
@@christophermc2 Why don't you think so?
@@christineleonard1110 he forces, and encourages dog owners to force their own anthropomorphic fantasies onto dogs because they have a misplaced paternal/maternal instinct. It’s damaging to a dogs psychology and often leads to worsening of certain behaviours/reactivity, and at the end of the day it’s about them feeling good about themselves because they are ‘kind and caring’ for their dogs, however good they may feel it often comes at the expense of the dog who is not given clear direction or guidance and lacks leadership. Death over discomfort; Zak and the other ‘dog trainer’ charlatans out there would much rather your dog be euthanised for behavioural issues than face momentary discomfort as a consequence to dangerous learned behaviours like resource guarding and biting. This shouldn’t be attempted to fix with positive reinforcement as a primary tactic. For the love of god go find any other dog trainer to learn from.
@@christophermc2 what a load of ill considered boll*cks you speak. I love your histrionics re euthanasia 😂. Back that up with figures please. 🎉
@@christineleonard1110he train the same dog for a year now w similar content and no real explanation or clarity on how the dog after the training session
My goldendoodle turned two this month and man I have been working with her so much. She is amazing and listens and does whatever I ask if I have treats. She is very food motivated. If I do not have treats, she wont listen at all. I also can't get her to stop getting too excited and jumping on people or barking at other dogs. I put at least an hour a day into training with her. I will continue to watch the channel all the time and working with her and hope it improves!
So another 8 month old video? Where...is...Shade now?
He’s never gonna answer he always avoids this question
We filmed quite a bit with him making sure we post things in chronological order! However, I don’t think it is a spoiler to say that he is doing incredible!
@@zakgeorgeZak.. Im on your side.. Kick off that freakin dog trainer dogdaddy.. He use freak way to tame the dog. I love u!! Say hi from indonesia.. IM WATCHUNG U SINCE COVID TIME.. I LIKE U.. REALLY.. Know it.. U have worldwide fans.. Please dont get emotional.. Always keep calm n SMILE?!! 😅🎉❤
These videos are gold, they really help me get into the right dog-training mindset, cheers Zak & Bree, hope all is well 👍🏻
Another fabulous training video.
You are always great, Zak. Thanks.
Good to see another one of Shade. He’s a beautiful looking dog too.
Would Love to see this with a more reactive dog. This dog was already pretty darn good. Maybe you’ve already done that.. I will check now lol.
zak doesn't do real work with reactive dogs unfortunately
@@LimitlessJayson it is a little suspicious that he doesn’t post about Inertia anymore.
@@Z33dott frankly its also suspicious that this Cane Corso is now a YEAR old & he's only posting videos from when the dog was 3-4 months old... he just beats around the bush & hates on others these days
@@LimitlessJayson true. Would Love to see him defend himself (nudge nudge) or at least have some transparency.
@@Z33dott he'd say we're asking for too much 🤣
I do not have time to do this, yet, I need to do this if I want fun dog time!
Love this! Never thought about watching the nose - makes sense though.
This looks like old footage, Shade should be 90 lbs by now. Where is he now?
At home with his owner numbnuts
@@Doggies363so many people have asked and Zak should’ve answered by now, and he should show videos of Shade now to show how well trained he is.
@@AyvahSims like Deolivespread does 😄
ZG is probably spending lots of time editing the videos. Personally I prefer to watch unedited videos, I want to see the good, the bad and the ugly.
Zach I like ruff wear harnesses and he has lots of support from the breast plate. But it looks like it’s too close to his neck and impedes his normal movement to put his head down to sniff. No harness is perfect- it’s just a suggestion.
Why did you make the previous video private
Very interesting!
I wonder if it would work on my dogs.))
I was just looking back on the last live you did on RUclips I want you to see it so that's why I've copied and paste it here
As people don't believe you have worked with reactive dogs how about you create a playlist by doing that it will hopefully encourage people to come and view reactive dog training videos in one group, it means it's easier for the community who are on unsure if it works, to find.
I am happy to create one but I am aware more people will see the playlist
I'm requesting that you make a video training an adult Presa Canario like the one that attacked my German Shepherd girl a couple of years ago as I had her on a 6 ft leash while walking up and down my neighborhood. I'm a senior and my dog is very docile while in public. My girl weighs 92 lbs but that Presa Canario, which looked to me like it outweighed her by 40 - 50 lbs jumped her from a stealth position behind us. I had no idea the dog was stalking us (look it up Presa Canarios stalk) but it flipped my Lola on her back like she was a rag doll. It shocked and scared the bejeezus out of me, who was still holding the leash. I had just started carrying pepper spray and deliberately chose the brand that shoots a heavy stream 20 ft because I'm a bad shot. As it was I was 5 ft away, still with the leash in my left hand, and reacted quickly because I carry the pepper spray in my right hand with my thumb on the trigger so was able to get that dog directly in the eyes with a very plentiful and strong stream of pepper spray. That dog immediately walked off my dog and started back in the direction of where it came from, all the time shaking its head. My dog was stunned in the few seconds while she was on her back with that dog on top of her. She didn't move a muscle in those few seconds before I could react. I believe that is what saved her. I have no doubt if my dog had moved a muscle she would have been mauled. I filed a written complaint with animal control who warned the owner to keep the dog up but the owner still didn't listen. People in the neighborhood would let me know when the dog was out and I kept reporting and the owner finally gave the dog away. I'd like to see you train that kind of adult dog or a similar type with a history of attacking or showing very aggressive and threatening tendencies.
That must have been terrifying! I’m so sorry you and your dog had to go through that.
@@terrishirley2258 - Thank you and yes, it was horrifying. When it happened I felt extreme panic and in only a second or two several horribly frightening pictures flashed through my mind as to what could happen to both my dog and myself because I have seen what has happened to others on news reports. Although I had walked my dog for years in the neighborhood and felt safe I had began seeing where some folks were not keeping their dogs confined and I had a gut feeling that kept nagging at me and wouldn't go away that I would be better off carrying something to defend us and ended up choosing the pepper spray that goes long distances with a heavy forceful stream which makes it easier to hit the eyes than if you carry the mist type spray. I got the bigger can too just to be safe. I had just started carrying it. That was the best decision I ever made because it changed what could have been an outcome that might have resulted in permanent maiming or death to both myself and my dog.
@@terrishirley2258 - Thank you and yes I was so scared when it happened.
Where is this dog now? How is the adult dog doing? How's the training paid off?
Could you link the leash you’re using in this video? Thanks in advance.
This is the way
My 18WO puppy is absolutely insane, he barks at everything and everyone, he stops when a dog barks in the distance and won't move or focus on me, he pulls SO MUCH on the leash. I'm almost giving up on walks, he's 15 kilos (around 35lb, I think). I can't control him. It's nothing like the videos
A new puppy can be very high energy and difficult to manage, dont stress! we all go through it. I recommend reaching out to a local dog trainer who uses modern non-aversive methods like Zak for support. Also build up your puppies skills in less distracting environments, good luck 👍🏻
What breed of dog is the puppy?
cane corso
This dog looks so much like my mystery mutt. We rescued him as a "lab mix" but we have no idea what he is mixed with. Lol.
Please help me! Im new to your channel but i need help whenever i release my dog from his cage he always run at me aggressively and start chasing me around trying to bite me and barks at me hes 2months old pomeranian x japanese spitz any recommendations hpw i stop my pup from doing this things?
Zak is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs.
@@jttj742 That was THE dumbest thing i've heard all day lol.
@@LyranSoul you must associate with geniuses
@@jttj742 Prob more than you do 😀. He is a YT dog trainer with a PetSmart certificate. You could pretty much do the same thing. He has no testimonials to be found anywhere and doesn't do any in person classes or training. For all you know, he is editing these videos until he gets the behavior he wants. But yeah, he's a national treasure 🤣.
@@jttj742 I guess so since you consider someone with a PetSmart certificate to be a national treasure lol. He literally has no testimonials to be found anywhere and doesn't do any in person training/classes with clients. For all you know, he is editing the videos to get the desired behavior to fit his narrative. But yeah, he's a national treasure 👍.
@@LyranSoul you doing ok today, friend?
When socializing future k9's for personal protection & police dog work pre-introduction to the heavy/human varmit a few of my favorite places was a park that had a raised chained suspension bridge that swung too & frow. If a dog, any dog can be proficient @ auto sit on a moving bridge their solid on that command.
Secondly our local airport has stairs so near the runway that when jets would leave the loading access gate turning around to taxi towards the runway the load blast of a jet once pivoting AROUND was intense & healing step by step provided a higher than normal distraction. Next step would be intro to off leash obedience & the introduction of that human varmit begins.
RIP Master Trainer Bill (Howard) Rountree of Bakersfield CA.🎉
So wheres your vid about how to socialize an extremely aggressive dog since you know SOOOO much about it?? 😂 grade level training vids for someone with a big mouth and SOO much knowledge
Sick mechanic
Hi Zack. I just found your channel. I have a large dog the I think is a Cur breed. His owner robbed a gas station and when police got him the dog was just laying there. I talked to lady and store and Buddy jumped in my car and I took him home. When riding he jumps from front to back seat and barks at every car that goes by. How do I teach him to listen he is about a year old and beautiful but hard headed.
Zak with a cane corso is an accident waiting to happen 😂
Still waiting for him to show how well trained Shade is today
@@AyvahSimsstill waiting for the Uber court case. Oh yes, there isn’t one 😂
@@Doggies363lmao what?
100%
In what way ?

What happened to your website?
🐾🫶😁
Doggie is sooooooooooooo cute ❤😍😘
Dog daddy does it better. You should check him out. You could learn some stuff
It looks like Dog daddy has been chosen by the people as the preferred training system on youtube. Zak you had a good run, but the truth comes out in the end. No amount of lies will keep you relevant now.
How old is Shade here? I am a huge proponent of socializing your puppy, but socializing wisely. I'd be concerned about taking a too-young puppy in a situation like this simply because there are a whole lot of dogs whose health status and vaccination history you don't know. I am 100% behind taking a puppy to puppy classes (where puppies all have a similar vaccination history) and having them around older dogs who are tolerant of puppy behavior and whose health status and vaccination history you know (and you know they aren't going to be making your puppy sick). This is great for older puppies who've had a good vaccination history, I'd just be cautious about an environment like this until the puppy is a little older and has more disease protection under his or her belt.
Your nowhere close to dog daddy sorry not to be rude but trueth is trueth
Then don't be here. Just shut up and go on your way. How is that so hard?

The ingredients in the BarkBox treats are awful and I would never feed my dog any of them.
I’m surprised at that because they do brilliant, one ingredient, natural treats.
@@Doggies363 have you actually read the ingredients on the packaging?
@@Doggies363 pupford & barkbox are 2 differerent things
Where is the viscous dog training a kid can train those!
Naa don't have the patience
Training him or her cost too much
Lol Zak is a joke
what educational background do you have that makes you qualified to speak on dog behavior?
A PetSmart certificate. That's it.
What is YOUR educational background that makes you qualified to question Zak? I have a master's degree in psychology with two years (yes, two years) extra course work at a university in animal behavior (we were required to do 2 residencies and 2 externships where our techniques and methods were critiqued by our instructors and often video-taped and played in front of the class--mistakes and all for God an everybody else to see. That was tough, but I learned a whole lot--from my own mistakes and from other student's mistakes.) That makes me pretty "qualified" to speak on dog behavior--at least on the surface. But I still have much to learn. I continue to read books on training (even those by authors with whom I disagree about training methods), I continue to look at the professional literature (articles in scientific, peer-review journals) and watch other positive trainers (from whom I learn a lot). I think Zak is a great trainer. Yes, he's made some mistakes. Yes, he's done some things that I thought "I'd have done this a little differently". But what trainer DOESN'T make mistakes (God in heaven knows I've made some really good ones in my day and if your honest with yourself, I bet you'll admit, at least to yourself, that you've made some mistakes, too??? Zak is just honest enough to share his. Put 5 trainers together in a room and you'll often get 5 different methods of addressing a behavioral issue. Just because I might have done it a bit differently doesn't make Zak wrong and me right. Nor does it mean I'm wrong and he's right. And when I see him doing something that I'd have done a little differently, it makes me think about my own technique. It makes me question if I am, indeed, mistaken. And when I see that his "method" got the same results (and is still positive), then it gives me another option I might not have considered before to help a dog with behavioral issues. So please share your background that makes you qualified to criticize Zak. If you are obviously better qualified than I, then I'll bow to your expertise, but I will continue to watch Zak because I learn things from watching him and I don't know all there is to know and I still have lots of things to learn. I want to continue to question how I would handle a situation and find mistakes I may have made, how to do it better.
@janhankins911 my education doesn't matter cause im not going around posting dog training videos saying this is the only way and even if you think differently then you're the problem. Meanwhile having an unhinged dog
@@kaplandg 🎯. Gheslyn who replied to you above is one of Zak's top commenters. They think no one else can have an opinion.
@@LyranSoulI can tell from the first sentence 😂
A joke
Dog daddy is a million times better than this guy.
A joke you just want money for nothing
why dont you start with your own dog inertia first thats still reactive at 4 years
Exactly. Bcuz he failed at that lol.
First, you're correct that Inertia was reactive when Zak first got her. Second, you're incorrect that she's still reactive (or at least I've seen no evidence that she's still reactive--where's YOUR evidence that she's still reactive?). Zak took the appropriate steps to help her overcome her reactivity. Third, most dogs (like most people) aren't just going to love every dog under the sun and every person under the sun. I'm about the biggest animal lover you can imagine, but I've met a few dogs that I really didn't like much! And I've met more than a few people that I really didn't care for all that much. That doesn't mean the dog is "reactive". It's okay for dogs to say "I really don't care for that dog or that person and I'd rather not be around them". If you know dog body language, dogs will tell you this without the histrionics of lunging, barking, snapping, and biting. If you don't understand their body language, though, they will often resort to lunging, barking, snapping and biting. I have a little guy that was quite reactive when we adopted him. We took steps to help him overcome his reactivity (his stemmed from fearfulness). Now he is quite happy to play with most other dogs, but there are some dogs he doesn't enjoy playing with. And that's perfectly okay. He doesn't like "pushy players" and dogs that roughhouse too much. And I don't force him to play with dogs like that. He has every right to say "I don't want to play with that dog" just like I have every right to say "I don't want to hang around with that person". That doesn't make him "reactive".
@@janhankins911 he posted a video recently in his ig stories of her being reactive. I have it saved cause he loves to say thi gs didn't happen when they did
@@janhankins911 No one is reading your long winded responses. You just like to hear yourself talk huh?
@janhankins911 he posted a video on his ig stories of inertia being reactive about a month ago. I have it saved cause people like you and Zack like to deny reality
This has got to be a joke right? Like a sick joke?

HE is a very very very CALM puppy. 🥱
I tried to give you credit for posting take down vids of something you didn't agree with but you only work with the runts of the litter.
Stop preaching like you could ever even own a breed like a doberman or mastiff, you couldn't.
