- 📍TORONTO 🇨🇦 PEACEFUL PROTEST THIS WEEKEND! Andre Yeu from When Hounds Fly Dog Training went on CBC Toronto to discuss “Dog Daddy” Augusto DeOliveira, who is bringing his dangerous and problematic training methods to Toronto on Saturday (Sep 2) and Sunday (Sep 3).
Stay tuned, follow our Instagram for all kinds of updates you’re not getting here: / zakgeorge
If you’re in Toronto follow / angelkerrdogtraining for on the ground info about peaceful protests in Toronto!
Local trainers in Toronto are planning to peacefully demonstrate and raise awareness about ethical, modern, evidence-backed dog training methods that effectively address all types of issues (including severe aggression and fear).
DOG DADDY FANS! I am genuinely glad to have you here. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to let me know in the comments! I also made a video just for you to explain in detail what our issues with Augusto’s methods are, and why. You can see it here: • For Fans of Dog Daddy ...
Remember, education is the key to change. By highlighting what's wrong with such methods, we can guide those who might be misinformed towards humane, effective, and scientifically supported methods instead. If we stay silent, we risk allowing these seriously harmful, dangerous and unnecessary techniques to spread further without being challenged.
Our goal is not to attack an individual, but to empower people with the right information so they’re fully ready to make informed decisions for the well-being of themselves and their dogs.
For those who would like to peacefully protest his methods, or to be available to kindly try to educate his followers about the issues surrounding the methods Augusto promotes, I encourage you to show up at as many of his events as possible and demonstrate peacefully and nonviolently.

I’m seeing many comments that are showing a lack of understanding. I made this video specifically for dog daddy followers to talk to them live and address their concerns ruclips.net/user/livePbbwZNGcUFg?si=Xtas4-PALrQT8Boi
I understand you becauseI know my dogs I am with you 100% also reading your book that lead me here. Dog Training revolution

Zak can’t stand DDs popularity, so he’s attacking him by creating a false narrative. Maybe he should focus his attention on dogs who are actually being abused. But instead he tries to cancel someone who’s helping aggressive dogs.
Show us the right way how to do it…. Ohhh u can’t? So shut the hell up
I would trust this man, Dog Daddy’ before any trainer period. I’m so tired of hearing about this man being under fire for helping dog’s owners and the the animal. These “professionals” I have seen literally walk away from highly aggressive dogs and refuse to help them. So yes, all these “professionals “ and their hotdogs should be under the microscope as well. You going to keep treats in your pocket everywhere you go to fatten your dog up and distract them for a moment for them to act a fool and do this for more “treats”? Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Any links to videos of you guys training dogs with severe aggression?
Dogs with genuine severe aggression should be put down, in my opinion. I don't blame him for not attempting to fix extreme issues like that. Edit: I don't take back my comment, but I did read your comment as if you were coming from the perspective of a balanced trainer, as many of these comments are. My response was geared more towards that rather than the average person simply asking a question. There are many dog trainers other than Zak George who do work with aggression though, my favorite being Michael Shikashio. He does have a few videos on his RUclips channel I'm pretty sure, if you want to check that out. As another commenter in this thread has brought to my attention, my comment may have sounded insensitive, and if that is the case then I'm sorry. I have dealt with severe aggression in my own dog, and I know the difficult decisions that many other owners can face with how to move forward. Still, I believe that in GENUINE (meaning: un-fixable in a humane way) severe cases, dogs should be put down, but that is just my opinion and only a decision that you can make.
@@OneDay38104 does the same go for unforgiving, aggressive humans? If your answer is yes, then by your own logic, you should probably make an appointment with the green mile.
What a horrible, insensitive thing to say. These dogs aren't just pets or house guards to some people. They are important members of the family. And when a family member is ill in some capacity, you do whatever you have to to get them well again. They do this because they love their family. So when an insensitive internet troll pops up with the suggestion to just k*ll them off, it causes more upset that brings no one any closer to a solution to this conflict.
Probably not because these passive trainers don't like to deal with truly dangerous and aggressive dogs. They would much rather condemn them than find alternatives to teaching them as DD has done.
@@OneDay38104 You don't know what you're talking about. Who is to decide which dog should be killed? Zak? His theory that a dog trainer must not be bitten is absolutely naive and pointless. This often happens, and after balanced training, even such dogs can lead a good life in their environment.
I don't know what I'm talking about? In what way? I was mostly referring to personal experience. It is of my opinion that truly dangerous dogs should be put down if they cannot be rehabilitated humanely (and even that's risky). I'm not stating some kind of fact here that can be debunked. To answer your question, the owners of the dangerous dog should make the choice to put the dog down, not a trainer. I also am not under the idea that a dog trainer can not be bit; it could absolutely happen, but if you do your job correctly the dog should never really be pushed to that point. Of course, there's human fallibility and we can never understand a dog 100%, so even people who are doing their best may still get bit. I am well aware of the many dogs that are living good lives now after balanced training. Mine did not. Still, I see moral issues with the way most balanced training is done, especially in the style of DD. @@painted_in_thick
Why don't you just show clips and get people to comment rather than simply slag off someone else's training methods?
I have a Rottweiler and when he was young, I literally tried everything that I knew of to train him until I finally took him to the professionals and they used a choke collar. They are a family owned business and have been in business for over 30 years. They breed and train German Shepherds for Law Enforcement. I have no issues with choke collars. You do what works for your pet. Not all pets will react the same way with positive reinforcement. These people who are against choke collars should put up some videos of them training aggressive dogs with positive re-enforcement. Good luck with that.
I agree with most of the things you have said my only refute is that prong collars are way safer they can't damage the trachea the way a choke collar does. Choke is in the name. But of course as with everything they still have to be used correctly to be safe and effective.
Exactly! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@magenaustin2978you obviously have a false idea of how to use the prong collars.
@@magenaustin2978 so prong collars don't cause damage? GTFOH
Zak and a dominant, aggressive rotti. 😅 I would subscribe to that.
This whole only positive bullshit, with their decreased toolkit is ridiculous.
I watch a lot of videos of upstate canine academy, where they help for dogs just before the owner wants to put them down, because the owner went through a bunch of only positive idiot trainer. I can’t tell you how beautiful to see the owner working with their dogs without any problem, after 2 or 3 sessions. The only thing Zak could do with these dogs is putting them down, or maybe suffering with them through months of training, with tiny little results. Ridiculous.
anyone have a link to zak training truly agressive dog? I watched like half of his videos never seen one. Best method to approach this is to show the correct way (according to you with positive training only.) I mean if you don't like the solution, find a better one and I'm sure people will lean towards positive instead of aversive methods. Just saying his methods are wrong is not good enough.
The better solution to these aggressive dogs is that they're not born in the first place....the problem isnt the dogs...its the humans who own them...they get them wanting an aggressive dog n then find out they cant deal with it
I watched all I could find. Most of his content is just talking and selling products cause he's a sellout like that. He has never trained a real "red zone" case. Was one about a dog snapping. He told owner to put a muzzle on it and that muzzle stayed on for the whole time. Was another 1 in which he took his own dog to the dog park but it got attacked and ran to hide under a bench in fear so no more dog park vids. LMAO!!
@@michellesgarden5695 what about the dogs that develop aggression??? Due to trauma???
He doesn’t have any
i agree with almost all of your points but do not take your dog to dog park. even if your dog is super well behaved you don't know about other dogs. just like people, dogs cannot get along with every dog in the planet. if you want your dog to play with others make an effort to find a friend for your dog and you know the owner as well.@@kevj9589
How do you use positive reinforcement with a dog who is trying to rip your face off?
No one here has said to use positive reinforcement when a dog is attacking you. If you want to split hairs...if a dog is TRYING to attack you (or rip your face off) then I would assume that the dog would be attacking you, if it physically could. Since the dog is TRYING but can't , then you would give the dog as much space as you can. Make certain you feed/water the dog multiple times a day. A trick I use is to break the dogs daily food up into 4 or 5 meals so I can increase the number of positive interactions per day. Over time the dog will begin to feel more comfortable around you and this is when you can reduce the amount of personal space you give the dog by just a little bit, but more and more each time. In my experience these dogs tend to be the most loyal and thankful pets once you have won their trust.
@@ImurTuta read more comments and LISTEN tp ZG , they r exactly saying that , to use positive reinforcements when a dog is aggression violence , or hv it killed... DD isnt using violence he is therapuetically using follow through responding to desensitize each attacking dog until they feel safe and calm dont ... DO YOUR RESEARCH ! u sound foolish.
@heather2761 right? 😂 I think that's funny. F' these haters
Really. Whip the dog around until the dog is exhausted. That is not dog training
@@ImurTuta Makes no sense at all what you're saying. It's just ridiculous fluff. Do you people have any idea how many aggressive dogs are euthanized. Next to disease/old age, aggression is the top cause for dogs being euthanized and we're talking hundreds of thousands being euthanized annually in just this country alone.
I've been trying to find your methods of helping aggressive dogs. You offer none! Is it Euthanasia? Maybe spend less time criticising and calling us non behavioural experts and more time helping please.
No they're upset because they want the big dollars and dog daddy's taking that from them by teaching owners how to control their aggressive
It’s RUclips there’s a million trainers who offer other help with aggressive dogs. I don’t think it’s bad to use training tools or anything like that but what DD does is just very extreme. There’s so many ways to teach a dog without hurting them.
@@YMTGM DD is getting these dogs when they have become dangerous and unresponsive to mild and meager Chihuahua training tactics! I have searched for even just one persons video that used DD's training but a week later the dog was back to being a beast again - or a video showing the dog cowering in fear once the owners take the dog out for a nice walk after their training, and the dog is showing fear hiding or cowering, etc!! Anyone else seen such a thing?? Bet not.
The people that are spreading this negative, misinformation about DD, are repeating crap that bleeding heart liberals, PETA, activists- people that don't discipline their children or pets and will be facing cry babies who think they always get their way, do what they want with no consequences or punishment and their dogs usually bark at everything for no reason, piss on the floor when startled, yelps if you happen to pull a couple of their hairs and cowers and pees if they get excited or scared when the doorbell rings!!!
Can bad shit happen to a dog sometime when thousands of dogs are handled? Sure, but not from this more forceful, specific training that DD uses. If the training was causing great fear with DD while training, they aren't going to be interested in training, they are going to roll over and wimper and probably pee right there!
Discipline your children - both the 2 legged and 4 legged kinds!!
If DD is so damaging for dogs and he trains 1000’s of dogs every year surely there must be numerous unhappy dog owners who would speak up about his practices????
But there’s literally none, which tells you something. 🙄
He has almost broke. Dogs legs he stresses the dog out called learned helplessness he is not fixing just hurting dogs
@@Girlwiththequeenslanderheeler 😂😂😂 proof?
@@ReelShorts2969 have you seen his video using just fear can break a dog
@@ReelShorts2969 not in a good way
DD also goes to shelters to help with dogs that don't get adopted and helps them.
Oh please point me to the videos with you working with aggressive dogs with bite histories. I have never seen 1 from you.
i looked and didnt find any either.. ty for confiming i didnt miss anything.
100% people who Are saying no to this Training cant Even handle One of this dogs … 😊
LMAO. This is NOT the right way.
@@melwhetstone841 well zac did teach ny aussie how to growl.. i say zak and looses his shit and starts howling loud as hell.. lol
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
Wow, 800 videos and not one showing him handle an aggressive dog. But if you want your dog to shake a paw, he’s your guy.
amen.....he cant even walk his own 3 years old dog on a loosse leash
Yeah, but how much ad revenue from those 800 videos? That's all it's about for this charlatan.
Glad to see comments that tell the truth.
Zac has many videos about training aggressive dogs. However he doesn't intentionally drive them into a frenzy in his videos to artificially exaggerate his before and after results.
@@andreak7001 All you're doing is showing you're extremely ignorant and a blatant liar.
You could do a series on aggressive dogs. Showing DD how positive methods can be used to help address dangerous behaviours by dogs, running out of chances!
I think that would hard because it takes more time than one session or 3 weeks in-home.
He cant lol
@@MyGalvestonDietJourney yet theres many trainers that can get an aggressive dog shown to start to behave in 1-3 sessions. Its more the humans that need training. Id love to see george try his positive methods with a dog like that.
I'm a force-free, positive dog trainer specializing in reactivity and aggression. I have had countless successes, so I know positive methods work. If you want more information about how educated dog trainers use positive methods to stop aggression, head over to Michael Shikashio's RUclips channel @AggressiveDog.
@@MyGalvestonDietJourney that is demonstrably proven false, look up Richard Heinz the Miami dog whisperer, and Will canine training, don’t know how to spell his last name lol. Watch him work with Shadow, the German Shepherd.
Literally 0 evidence of you ever working with an aggressive animal….where is the aggressive presa or reactive black russian terrier?🤔🙄🤡
You say this because you don’t see it in my videos which is by design. Thank you. A skilled trainer knows how to keep aggression from emerging. Don’t worry, will have more in the future too 👍👍
@@zakgeorge why don’t you ever want to have an open discussion with ivan or robert?
@@zakgeorgeLOL what a bunch of bs. You avoid the highly aggressive dogs!
@@zakgeorge What rubbish. How do you keep aggression from emerging from a dog who is continually already exhibiting such behaviour? Probably by feeding them a bit of sausage and isolating them from all their triggers, which helps no-one, least of all the dog. You don't show how you supposedly do it in your videos because you would never take on such an aggressive case. If you don't come up with the goods soon you are going to be proving that you really do not have the tools or the guts to do it and your 'fans' will leave you in droves.
@@zakgeorge well those dogs you’re keeping off camera by design are nowhere near the red zone and close to euthanasia then. Dogs with extreme aggression aren’t gonna not lunge and try and bite you because they think you’re a great trainer. They’re already in a manic state just by seeing you. This shows you don’t work at the extreme end of behavioural problems. And why keep those dogs off your videos anyway? They are actually the dogs that need the most help. Not puppies and dogs who just don’t listen. They are easy. Show us videos of your methods working on extreme cases or stop bashing people who have actually focused their attention to the dogs and owners most in need.
This news report purposely left out the end results with owners in total control of their dogs thrilled to death of their dogs change/ progress. Positive results and fast.
What I see is RED ZONE dogs that NO ONE wants, and he can turn that around quickly.
What I see is fear aggression. He makes them face their fear of people/ strangers . Once he does, that dog totally chills, you can see by body language if you are a real dog trainer. Tail up, walking around happy, taking food, being petted! That is a changed dog.
Also I see that he is not whipping the dogs around like Zak states. He is holding on, moving quickly to avoid bites.
You dont think owners are chocking them ( not intentionally) but their dog pulls so hard to try to kill someone.
He normally has muzzles on for safety but they can come off and he has to be prepared. I have never seen him get bit. Victoria Stillwell, Cesar Millian...most trainers get bit sometime in their career.
Just saying.😊
THANK YOU! 🙅🏿♂️
TY The truth has been stated...AMEN
If there is ONE thing that bothers me is your lack of understanding of these owners with aggressive dogs. They have contacted multiple different types of trainers (including positive reinforcement trainers as well) and no one could and even would help them. That's why so many owners are flocking and praising Dog Daddy and other adverse/balanced trainers that are WILLING to help them. And for the most part, their methods work. Hell, they are willing to drive for days to see one trainer for help.
Unless you're willing to do a tour like what Dog Daddy does and are willing to help these owners, you really can't criticize someone else's method. Because in my world, in order to criticize a method, you need to show that your own method works just as well. Otherwise, your criticism doesn't stick.
Exactly, I agree with your statement
💯 this is what I'm saying too
Amen
Zak George is quickly associating himself with cringe on the Internet
I understand your reasoning, however, you're ignoring the importance of science.. & what it's proven.
You don't ignore science when you take your sick dog to a QUALIFIED vet! Why a trainer?
You asked for this Zak. Dog Daddy said there was plenty of room for the both of you in this space. But you were simply too greedy for your own good.
Ur community has spoken read all these comments saying what im saying
SHOW US A DEATH ROW DOG TRANSFORMATION
SHOW US UR METHODS WORK AND HELP THOSE WHO HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO
DO A SERIES ON THAT
I really want this series, all these high and mighty RUclips dog trainers a cap until they can show me exactly what you said. This shit didn’t work for my dog, but ecollar training saved my mastiff
Positive reinforcement saved my dog. I hate to think what would have happened if someone had tried force and violence. He'd got to a point where violence had created a dangerous dog. Once he was shown love and affection and positive reinforcement he was transformed.
@@Patsagilitybits THEY DONT FORCE VIOLENCE ! stop spread lies .... the dogs are already violent agression , YOU HAVENT EDUCATED YOURSELF ! Makes u sound foolish !
I have seen shelter dogs transform. Most aggression in dogs comes from fear, based on abusive training practices and misunderstanding dogs. What I saw from that clup was a terrified and suffering Doberman. I adopted a beautiful Doberman who had shut down from abusive training he was able to blossom into a happy, confident and friendly dog. It's worth considering how people respond to abuse compared to encouragement, and how our interactions with people and dogs can change and be updated.
@@ZerafinaZarait’s not abusive it’s assertive. If your dog doesn’t respect you he will never listen to you.
Let's not forget DD offered Zak 6 months ago to go work with him and teach DD, Zaks better "effective training methods" on dogs. He also offered Zak $50,000 to do it.
@@ZaryaTheLaika And since he's a scammer, would you believe the offer was genuine?
@@ZaryaTheLaikaYou still hvnt posted links ... and if ZG really wanted to help these agressive dogs then he should show dd and the world his better ways ...
Literally money aside.... Why hasn't Zak taken him up on showing DD these "effective methods" then.
@@ZaryaTheLaikaDD offered for Zak to be able to make content off of it too. If his training methods worked with the dogs DD trains, idk why he wouldn't show everyone and do it. Even Zaks followers have asked for it too. Prove it! He isn't just proving it to DD. He would be showing everyone all this "scientific" stuff he talks about works. If Zak wants to be that concerned about the well being of the dogs DD trains, get off the computer, leave your 2nd house in Alaska, and go do something.
@@ZaryaTheLaikaok.... And that's not doing anything towards everything that Zak wants to complain about.
Is there any report of one or more incidents of any of the animal victims of Dog Daddy's dog interventions developing those negative psychological or other later issues of which you speak?🤔
No there isn't
Yes, please refer us??
You know Google's a thing right. You can look it up yourself.
That would be interesting to se
@@jacobrepinski9951 fifthstate does a really good episode on aggressive dogs. And they talk about this type of dog training. No nobody's wasted their time looking into his training methods because the peer review research already exists that this type of training doesn't work.
Or better yet you can go look on PEI veterinarian college. They do a really good study of this. So does the one to know what Scotia? So is the one in Manitoba. I mean it's not hard to find you're just going to have to look. But I mean why would you want to pop that cognitive dissonance you have going on. I mean that's just way too much work.

Dog Daddy living rent free in this guys head for months, Zak going crazy
I see nothing abusive only a dog challenging and dog daddy saying I am the leader
This is an inaccurate description of what Dog Daddy does. This person is simply trying to spread misinformation because he feels inept.
I would really like to know what the source is of the statement that this training causes longer term damages (mentioned by Andre Yeu in the video). Does anyone have a paper/research/etc I can read?
I wonder if Zak has any experience in bite work? Both in prey and defensive aggression.
Does it matter at all? It's the dog behavior scientists speaking out, that aversive methods are harmful and positive reinforcement methods are effective.
and to answer your question - yes he does
@@katczu I bet he doesn't. His comments are giveaways to anyone who has even a little knowledge. But I'd like to hear from him
He knows nothing about bite work or reactive dogs. He claims all dogs are good in his presence, hence why he has no footage of him transitioning to get to know an aggressive dog
Love to see him work some real dogs or try to understand bite work.. He'd piss his pants.
It started with let’s have a conversation, and then turned into a crusade. Dog aggression is a serious problem and needs serious answers. I am not saying that Dog Daddy has the best methods, but most who go to those methods have already tried other dog trainers. My biggest concern with this crusade is where will it end? There are several examples of balanced trainers on youtube, such as upstate canine academy, Beckmans Dog training, and Will Atherton. Are they also to be canceled? And what will happen to the dogs with aggression when the only tools are treats and medication? Owners with problem dogs will simply give up and put them down or surrender them.
Robert Cabral is good too.
well said! i genuinely believe this is more detrimental to the dogs than the training that's actually being criticized here. babying an overly agressive dog and refusing to show them their behavior is unacceptable is only going to get them euthanized.
@@dumbitc11And I don’t think it takes a genius to see that there’s a correlation between this all positive training fad and the rise in aggressive dog behaviour.
@@cruithin4773same with children 😅
I've taken my dog to several trainers and they would not help. I went to a Dog Daddy session and was very impressed. He wasn't abusive and did not hurt the dog. It almost like dog trainers are upset because DD can help your dog when they can not.
I feel your wrong yours may not needed much
@@Spiritdove64 hmm, interesting.. um, quick question dear.. have you interacted with this doggo say, ever??
But suure, undoubtedly your ‘feelings’ should somehow hold greater weight than OP (aand the several prior Failed trainers who actually know and have interacted with the doggo irl..)
But thanks for the laugh mate, just unbelievable what complete self-entitlement mindset this says about you, which in turn created such a self-delusional ridiculous pure ‘feelings’ based silly post.. 🤣
Zero Reality Based..
Yeah, I’m Sure you’re ‘special’, just like your mama keeps telling ya 🙄
Wow o wow.. 🙄🫠
I agree with you💯
He literally whips the dog around and controls them with fear. Fear control isn't good control. You don't want your dog scared to socialize, you want them comfortable with it. And whipping them around by the neck is not making them comfortable with it
I do not aggressive training by Dog Daddy... I see a dog that is aggressive or very very anxious.... and the dog goes wild when he holds the leash and then because the dog is aggressive he growls and goes wild. Then because he shows he is not going to be intimated... the dog eventually calms down. But Zac, please do training with a very aggressive dog... teach people how to change the behavior of a aggressive dog... so far the dogs you have shown are very sweet dogs even from day 1. So please show a adult aggressive dog and teach the world what is the right way to train one. Thanks
So what you both don't seem to understand is that he deals with situations that have no other options at the moment. Once the dog is under control, you can expose the dog to a happier, better experience in the future.
Please provide what you would do with these dogs. I have yet seen any videos from anybody else addressing these types of dogs. All I see from you are calm dogs. How come you are not showing what they are in the beginning? These aggressive dogs are bring put down. Do you visit shelters and help out?
Calm dogs are a sign of a good trainer.
@@SBOK41Bullshit.
@SBOK41 My point being, how does he take an aggressive dog that is on its last leg and train it.
Watched your videos, maybe you should try to train a 150 pound dog. These dogs are massive, most are from a shelter, I know because I own one. Are you anti-life from someone's rejects? I want to know.
Hello Jen Zack I have commented on your video before and I just want to say I have a dog in my household that needed some of these practices and training methods to be able to break through that behavior to get to a standard baseline so that we can interact with the dog and get him rehabilitated here we are four years later of only the dog and we now can you is positive only training treats he can go out and have a great life on the boat and go camping he loves people he no longer tries to attack them now this dog Was trained purely positive for all of his homes that he’s had and all of the places that took him in as a shelter he was on his last leg if he did anybody else they were going to euthanize him. Are you again ask please take a truly truly troubled older dog with terrible behavior problems aggression and has a bite history and show us all how you would handle a dog in a short timely manner short being the keyword for last chance dogs that deserve to have a life. I understand where you’re coming from and I understand where Augusto is coming from and where his clientele are coming from please step up and show us how you would handle the situation with your positive only so you only had two months to rehabilitate the dog for a court order death how would you handle this situation. You refuse to answer back or to post these things online and get the dog from the shelter that’s trouble that nobody wants to adopt that has bitten somebody before that cannot go onto public without being on a muzzle or a pool for safety
Zak has NO videos rehabbing these deadly dogs because he is NOT able to help these dogs. He trains sweet dogs with little minor problems. He gripes about Augustos methods because he is jealous of all DogDaddys subscribers. VIEWERS......Go watch DogDaddy to the end of several training episodes & you will see the dog settles right down in a short time, once shown that they are not the boss. The COURT system sometimes has to send a child to a TOUGH LOVE camp to get the child's attention before he or she kills someone or commits a serious crime & ruins his or her life. The parents & courts have usually tried about everything before having to do this. DogDaddy works with owners that are at their wits end...... DogDaddy saves these dogs from EUTHANASIA. Dont be sucked in to this demonstration.

You will only hear crickets on your post. Sorry
Thank you for your comment. I, too can't find + only training for these dog types.
@@olieboer lol after this BS tirade and all the controversy, Zak George has shot himself in the foot, my experience in life is that any form of attention negative or positive is exposure, that exposure leads to more case work which will further expose the gap and training levels between the two individuals. Again because this is a very divisive subject but you have other great trainers like Robert Cabral and Ivan who don't stand with Zak either, saying that positive only training is lacking in some aspects. Dog training needs to have a balance. When done correctly it's 90 percent positive and 10 percent corrections or even less because you have brought about a solid foundation, relationship and understanding with the animal in question but by removing the corrections for manipulation tactics which is basically what positive only training is, eventually the dog knows exactly what you are doing and that will turn into aggression later down the line. So if we see a behaviour we do not like that would potentially be dangerous for anything, anyone, the dog itself, the handler etc. we are able to deal with it work through it immediately as opposed to misdirection, manipulation and redirecting the attention. No is No and I don't care how cute and fluffy that teacup Pomeranian puppy is.
I want to see you to fix an aggressive dog using your training tactics!

Augusto trained my cane corso rescue!
She’s a VERY happy and confident girl now thanks to The Dog Daddy.
Grifting on the demise of someone trying to save dogs from being euthanized. Really, Zak, you should be ashamed of yourself.
ZG has always been a jerk
I’m sure Zack has been responsible more more than just a handful of dogs being put down. And one dog is too many. Warm and fuzzy feeling don’t cut it in the real world Zack.
DD has killed his own dogs before.... You a bot?
Lol I love how DD fans are trying to defend abuse by saying “at least he isn’t killing the dog”
@@Purplesquigglystripe What abuse? I guess you’re one of those people who also think that reprimanding a child for bad behaviour is abuse as well. You know, those people who have children grow up to become criminals. Just like those who don’t correct a dog for bad behaviour and then complain that their out of control dog got put down. You’re part of the reason why there are now so many out of control dogs.
We adopted a reactive (borderline aggressive) dog three years ago who'd been returned to the shelter TWICE because of her reactivity. Her previous owners had used aversive methods to try to control her and her behavior was getting worse. We've been working with her and loving her for three years now, using ONLY positive reinforcement (and watching pretty much your entire channel in that time!), and she is unrecognizable from the dog we initially met. Under that fear and aggression was a sweet, kind, loving, patient dog. Positive reinforcement methods WORK!
I'm so glad she's in your family ❤❤❤
I have a similar story myself.
Thank you for sharing this 😊
Thank you for taking a chance on her. I've volunteered in my local shelter and seen so many great dogs passed up and brought in just because people don't want to spend the time with proper training. It's so heartbreaking
@@enoughalready244that’s the problem right? Ppl don’t want to spend the time - they use the excuse “I don’t have time” then why do these people waste the dog’s life by getting a dog in the 1st place -get a stuffed toy!
@johannafriedt6362 Absolutely! People do ZERO research beforehand about what it takes to be responsible for an animals life and wellbeing, and then when the dog does dog things, the people freak out! They realize they have to put continuous effort into training, exercising, socializing etc and if there aren't IMMEDIATE results... here comes the dog into an already overpopulated shelter. It's so sad. The depression in these poor loving animals makes me sick. They trust with their whole hearts and just get shit on and dumped in a scary, loud shelter, and they have no idea what they've done 'wrong'. I wish I could adopt them all. 🥺
@@johannafriedt6362 I say that all the time. Why not a stuffed toy! 😔
I guess they get dogs as a status symbol.
I don't think many humans know how to TRULY unconditionally love. Dogs, on the other hand, they make you their everything ❤️
You have to stop with this online bullying and harassment. This person has every right to sue you for defamation and slander. Have you not seen the current court cases? He would win. I do not watch him and would never train my dog that way but that doesn't give me the right to harass just because I don't agree with him. Are you just trying to get traffic, is that it?
I think you are out of line to criticize another dog trainer. Let’s see you take a “violent” aggressive dog, not one you choose to pick, and see what your “ positive” training results are.
A lot of trainers who also deal with aggressive reactive dogs side with Dog Daddy on this issue.
I do about 80% positive reinforcement, 15% negative punishment and 5% positive punishment. Meaning I mostly reward, sometimes take something away as part of the training. And rarely punish. When I do punish, it is something as simple as a snap of my fingers or a verbal correction. No yanking, hitting, startling and so on.
My dog is a young unneutered male that has better recall than any other dog I know. His loose leash walking is very good (walking or running next to a bike), and he is kind and laid back with other dogs and people. It shows me that it is at least possible to train your dog to behave great without aversive methods. But my one single dog is no study or proof that only positive reinforcement works. I 100% get that I have a mild tempered dog from an easy breed and had the luxury of training him since he was a puppy.
And that is where the biggest problem lies with positive reinforcement in my experience. Not all dogs and trainers are in this optimal situation. Where they can socialize and train and immediately address bad behaviors as a dog grows up. The main problem that positive reinforcement people need to acknowledge is that they provide too few options for dogs with consistently repeated aggressive or otherwise worrying behavior that needs to be addressed with urgency. That is why the balanced approach people get so much attention in my opinion.
I say this as someone who uses positive methods himself. But also as someone who has seen a ton of the content that is uploaded from both sides of the argument: When it comes to aggressive dogs and extreme situations, you can't tell people what not to do without giving them a convincing viable alternative.
Zak wants Dogs to die. Zak is a Psychopath who is single handedly, well also with the help of all his fools, passive aggressively stopping Dogs from getting the help they need from the true experts who do such work. Therefore Zak is getting his Rocks off knowing Dogs will die directly from his BS campaign against Not only all the Hero's and their proven effective methods on Video transparently like Dog Daddy and Joel Beckman who are helping dogs every single day. Zak is a disease apon Dogs and the Dog industry and history will show who's who and what's what.
Zak is a Dog Murderer.
that, was a very well thought out response. 👌
Punishment can also be as simple as withholding treats when the dog doesn't do what you want during training. Then they learn that when they behave well, they get a treat toy or more affection
The way i train my dogs.. and some family dogs depends on how crazy the dog is.. nightengale collar minimal.. prong collar for the tougher dogs however if i use a prong collar the dogs are over 50 pounds thats MY rule... unless it is a biting dog.. over 40 pounds then kicks into action lol
@@dyllangames3592 i use a squeeky kong toy for a reward too sometimes to change it up a bit.. keeps them guessing. lol
One word… RESULTS
I don’t know if he is hurting them more!!! But I am assuming that the owners are choosing this recourse as a last chance to save there pets before euthanasia!!! We had an aggressive dog which could not be helped due to a breeding issue!!!!
I agree.. sadly, you can't fight breeding. My dog is reactive due to line breeding or inbreeding. Thankfully, he's not aggressive, just annoying with barking at every little noise
Dogs can turn perpetually aggressive for many reasons. Could be they were taken from their mother to early. Could be they were with somebody before who didn't take good care of them and abused them daily for no reason at all.
I'm also reminded of many cases I saw Cesar Milan work on. He would remove aggressive dogs from their owners and the dog would be fine around his own pack of dogs. Then once the owner returned to the side of the dog, it aggressively attacked those other dogs. This happened in so many cases he had.
This is why it's key to be a good leader to your dog. Aggressive dogs are often that way cause their owners are weak and scared themselves so the dog feels the ongoing need to protect them and itself against everything. This is also why DD works directly with the owners to show them how to provide good leadership for their dogs so they don't just return to their aggressive ways after DD has desensitized them and brought them to a balanced state of mind.
@@kevj9589 Cat people who think they are Dog people are a trip 😂 They want companionship but don't want the due diligence that goes along with it. If you want companionship but don't want to be the leader...get a Cat!! All puppies are cute but so are kittens...
@@kevj9589resource guarding is also an issue. Not just the parents insecurities.
I want to see Zac do a dog training class with 7 or more aggressive or reactive dogs. Not just one dog over months. So many homes live in fear & unable to go in public.
Liar liar liar
Me too, I haven't seen him do anything but run his mouth.
Well, I can tell you for one thing that you shouldn't have that many aggressive and/or reactive dogs together for training. It doesn't let the trainer focus any of them to the extent they need.
Poor Zak. Jealousy is a heck of a drug.
This looks like it was edited to include the “not just one dog over several months,” and like. That’s how you address the underlying issues that cause bad behavior. One-on-one, over a period of months. If the owner isn’t willing to put in that time to fix issues that, more often than not, the owner caused to begin with? Why have a dog?
So how do you train an aggressive dog with positive behavior? I used to have a German Shephard who was extremely aggressive towards people and dogs. He grew out of the aggression probably when he was 5 to 10 years old...i can't pin point when. He's passed now and i have a German Shephard puppy who's afraid of dogs.. total opposite of my last dog. But I'm slowly getting him around dogs. I'm just curious.. i took my aggressive dog to a trainer and it did not help in anyway.. it was basically Teach him stuff his aggression will go away but that never happened until he was older.
He has no idea. None. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zak walk the walk, talk is cheap. Show us how YOU handle a dog so aggressive it is walking on death row. Let's see how your methods of giving a cookie or praise works with a dog ready to bite your leg off.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Absofuckinglutely ! Hit the nail on the head. These dogs are on death row!
This is more hating then concern.
Agreed...thank you....i strongly felt the same way....check my comment on this. He is riding off DogDaddy's fame instead of being out there in action, training dogs. Despicable, quite frankly.
People making hateful videos against others is wrong on so many levels 🤬
Agree is dog daddy isn't the only one using these techniques
I have watched "Dog Daddy" and have found no issue with his methods. It might not be my or your way of training, but I learned as a child, you don't get involved with other peoples business. If I thought he was breaking a law or doing something wrong, I would agree with you, but he seems to love the animals. I have never seen him do anything even questionable
If you haven’t seen him do anything questionable, you haven’t looked. It was an easy search. I found videos of him hanging large dogs from their necks. I found comments from people who bought sickly dogs from him. He left one rental house with dead dogs in it. He avoids the people who he sold poorly bred, and sick dogs to. He has no education or accreditation in dog training. I wouldn’t let him near my dogs. My GSD is extremely smart and sensitive. Handling her the way he “trains” would break her trust in me.
That guy needs to be stopped.
So if you see a dude raping some child, look away - you don't get involved with other people's business. If you see a dude breaking into someone's house look away and don't call 911 - you don't get involved with other people's business.
If you see a dude torturing dogs for money, look away - you don't get involved with other people's business.
@@SuziQ.he never hung any dog from the neck. Stop watching clips alone and if a big aggressive dog is lunging at your face repeatedly what exactly would you do? Pull back on the leash period. Unless you are a complete moron
@alexsarbu3978 you saw him raping dogs? Send the video to the police right away. I never saw that video. What are you doing? They need some evidence of wrong doing and you're sitting on this rape video?
@@michaelsmith5583 What are *you* doing? Proving that you can't understand written text?
This is about DD torturing dogs for money, and there's plenty of evidence for it - he provides it himself. Oh, but you don't see anything wrong with people torturing dogs.
This guy can bog off. Dog Daddy has it covered!
Augusto has a Huge following!! Who are you Zac?? I love dogs basically more then humans, they are Pure love. I’d really like to see how you train one of these dogs coming at you out of fear?? If you post one I will entertain it. 🤔Until then I will advocate for Augusto.🤗❤️
You don't love dogs. If you think it's appropriate to pull them around by their collar, choke them and kick them. You don't love dogs. You love owning sentient beings but you don't love dogs. Cuz dog lovers don't do this to their dogs. He has worked with aggressive dog. I know many people have taken aggressive dogs to his training center.
@@LLandS18who are you to say that?
He has a huge following MUST be a God then.
Yeah, who is Zak? He's only been providing free training to the world for 18 years, with a book that's provided by rescues to new owners.. who has taken in & rehabilitated shelter dogs & released video series explaining, step by step, how he's worked with them.
@@SBOK41 I would give Jeff Gellman my dog's leash 💯 percent of the time over giving my dog's leash to Zak.
@@SBOK41 he doesn’t do it for free, he probably make a 10k a month from RUclips views, plus the many sponsorships and books/merchandise in his videos. Is it surprising the the “dog trainer” that advocates for treats and toys is sponsored by the dog toy and treat industry.
Many dog owners who have extreme aggressive cases are told by positive only method trainers to euthanize their dogs. Then go to someone like DD as the last result & able to avoid killing their dogs. I want to see how piece of hotdog & telling dog " good boy" will work when a dog is coming at you & willing to take a chunk off your leg. Just make a video like DD & and show it to the world. If it's works, I'm all for it. This situation of dog training is polarized & bashing other trainers are getting old. Why can't everyone come together & focus on helping dogs & their owners. I just don't get it. Nonsense.
This guy has never trained a dog like that, he would have no idea what to do. Thats why they recommend they put the dog down, people have become way to sensitive. If your kids an asshole, sometimes you have to discipline them, same as dogs
Amen!
Well said. I have not seen videos coming close to dealing with these types of dogs from positive only trainers. Dog Daddy volunteers his time at shelters rehabilitating dogs so that they are able to be adopted. There are countless testimonials from people he has helped so that they can have their dogs out in public now.
Absolutely! I agree whole heartedly. Show us these softer methods work instead of "just kill your dog "
No they're not. That's an absolute lie. Where is any study to back that up. I know plenty of gentle trainers that work with dogs who are aggressive as this. That's garbage that's enabling behavior.
Let's have Zack show us how to fix a similar dog, sorry to say but he has all cute puppy videos online training, none with such behaviour intense dogs, and before u condemn anyone please show us ur work, try taking the leash from the owners hand and c the response of such a dog
I agree. All positive reinforcement trainers don't deal with aggressive or fearful dogs. Most start with puppies and basic training and that's awesome. But when you are dealing with full grown dogs who have had not very good pasts. Most of the dogs Doggy Daddy deals with are rescued adult dogs that have issues. Difficult dogs need stern positive training. Puppies can be taught with treats and positive reinforcement and praise. Stick to training puppies and let Doggy Daddy rehab the difficult dogs.
Exactly. I have seen many of the dog daddy's videos, and he explains what he is doing and why. I believe he even trained a dog that was done by another trainer and was still reactive and biting...was it one of Zaks????
Watching DD video's you will hear owners of these aggressive dogs say how many trainers they have been to (one lady said 5) only to be told, I can't help you or euthanasia is best for this dog or they have made the dogs problems worse. DD is their only hope. I wish people would watch the entire video instead of selecting one moment and then commenting on how cruel it is.
DD is saving thousands of dogs.
Guys can you please share a link where Zac is working with agressive dogs? I want to see HIS methods and how he works with such dogs. He surely is a pro when he has so much to say about DD. 🙏 thank you sm 🌸
There are none. 😂😂😂😂😂

Crazy thing is, my friends dog was rehabilitated by @TheDogDaddy and he did a fantastic job.

Nice 🙂 he wants to be like Cesar Millan lol 😆 nope ! Dude needs to be put in prison for abusive 🤬😡😠
Yes , dog daddy is saving dogs!
@@shannondiaz73 you are correct. Same body language, he must have watched Millan for many many hours. Both are abusive. That is not dog training. Anyone who agrees with dog daddy and Millian are the problems.
Yo Zak! When are you going to work with Ivan Balabanov? He wants to do a study with you.
“Respect your haters; they're the only ones who think you're better than them.”
🤗
If you seen dog daddy videos once he gets the dogs under control the dogs will wig their tail wanting to play with him so I don’t see no emotional shut down there .🤷🏼♀️
Exactly. Only showing dogs who is in charge. You want your dog to understand you are the leader
Zak, have done any videos where you train a reactive dog?
Do you see any? 😂😂😂😂❤
Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is then? Why not set up a time and date with dog daddy. Find two very aggressive dogs, you watch him train his dog, and he watches you train your dog, at the end, you can talk about each other’s methods and see how they work, if the dogs have owners, meet up a couple times a week to see how the progress is going with both of the dogs, everyone should be present in the room when it happens.
That is silly. Zak’s methods are not quick. His methods are kind, considerate and thorough and take days and even weeks.
@@JenKirby even more reason to do it
If they’re not willing to do that, then they can do video responses to each other. I’ve seen dog trainers put videos up of them working with their dogs, sometimes multiple videos of the same one. There are a lot of ways these two can engage and share their ideas, but they just have not.
I would say that it would settle the debate once and for all. They could give us updates along the way of how their dogs are doing, maybe make it a year-long video response on specific very aggressive dogs.
@@JenKirby then this video by zg shouldnt even exist .. u hv no clue what an attacking agressivevdog needs , just like zg has no clue . Sad drama u all r creating here for zg to get drama clicks
@@raehughes thank you there’s a falconer on RUclips who literally works with birds that try and rip his face and hands off and they can fly, he shows hours of him, raising those birds from hatchlings and releasing them, that takes him about six or eight weeks sometimes, there’s no excuse why Zack can’t do it
@@raehughes don’t tell me that I don’t have a clue. I rescued one dog that was frequently attacking aggressively and I loved him into the sweetest dog ever (as long as he wasn’t afraid someone was going to take him away from me).
Most people have no idea what the training principles are for a small puppy vs. a large, dominant working power breed dog, much less what a valid “scientific study” or randomized controlled trial is. There is zero (0) Class I scientific evidence (gold standard) supporting positive only training. Effective 4 quadrant training tools and methods are necessary for very real dog and human safety concerns. “Treats” have never broken up a vicious dog fight. This is an attempt to outlaw effective methods, and ultimately ban and kill “breeds” that are deemed untrainable by “treats” only. OP has already demonstrated on video his own poorly trained reactive dog attacking another dog; and has shown same dog shut down, hiding under a bench in the dog park after the attack. No knowledgeable/skilled trainer would ever bring any dog inside a dog park. Oh, and no outcry whatsoever about the horrific profit motive spay/neuter US veterinary market - procedure that has been outlawed in many countries. Hmmm. Follow the $$$...
I have catahoulas and Dalmatians and they maybe smaller than some other dogs but it’s not easy. It’s constant work and bonding to make a great dog even better. ❤
I have a catahoula and he is the most stubborn, smart ,silly dog we have ever owned, I love my Gus more than anything and never had a dog with SO MUCH PERSONALITY!
Love dog daddy!!!! Best aggressive, ill mannered dog trainer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you people have anything better to do in your life???? Did you ask the dog owners how happy they are? No you didn't because it does not fit your narrative and agenda.
Zak George you are a trouble maker, so many dogs are put down for biting and aggressive behavior, if you have a better solution show us Zak, show what you can do with an aggressive dog. The Dog Daddy is not abusive, go to one of his classes and maybe just maybe you will get it. You are not the know it all for dog training, results speak volumes.
How many of dog daddys clients have reported their dog biting after IMPLIMENTING THE FULL TECHNIQUE OF THE TRAINING CLASS OVER A LONG SPAN OF TIME?
Zak I am also of the mindset you should have a series of training aggressive dogs. It’s a process as we all know. I am not a positive only trainer. I do balance training, though I heavily lean into rewards. I think this man is unhinged and live with a human aggressive dog. This is NOT how I intergraded him into my house hold which includes 3 children. It took a long time and required a lot of management to keep everyone safe. My dog is now 3 and is primary handler in obedience by my youngest child. He’s thriving where as when he came to me at 6 months old he was on his way to be euthanized for his bite history. He’s a great dog who requires time and patience to allow him to work through his deep rooted issues. It’s pretty sad when they are that young and that problematic.
I’d love to see a long term training plan of how you’d go about training dogs who display a more extreme level of aggression. People need to realize to actually change an emotional response does take time. It isn’t a one and done.
However, I would love to see you engage in a conversation with someone like Robert Cabral. I think you both have more in common than differences and I think if you engaged in a dialogue it would be helpful to at least have a professional discussion with another big influence in dog training. It’s important to interact with others, even if they aren’t fully aligned with your own way od training.
You will never see that video because he can't do it. Point blank. The best way to prove his point is to sthu and show a video with aggressive dogs, not running his whiny trap.
I am a little annoyed there's no reply what are these MODERN DAY TECHNIQUES
See more and more time go's on I think ur like the tobacco industry taking on vaping
U got no solution
This is a biased report. These trainers are concerned about losing business. Dog Daddy has a track record of rehabilating dogs who were scheduled to be euthanized. This report showed none of his results.
Oh, no! Not urbanized! JK I know you mean euthanized and I'm def in dog daddy's camp. Just thought it was a funny typo.
@@sint0xicateme thanks autocorrect does not love me lol
Dog daddy is very effective ... More than any other of you trainers...!!!! Guys you are just gelous of its huge succes!!!

So would you put a dog down who wasnt learning or learning fast enough? Because he has done amazing work with dogs who were at risk of being put down & why dont you go after ppl who create those shock collars? Its like your mad at people who use them when they have been effective in dog training (I dont condone those collars) but so many people have used them & their dogs never had issues or regressed in the long run! I dog sit a dog who was trained with one & he is loveable & such a good dog & the owner used one to get him trained...i just dont get it
Zak - dog daddy said that he will be happy to learn from you if you can prove that your methods work on aggressive dogs. Why don’t you take up that challenge. These aggressive dogs are being euthanized. Please take up that challenge and show the world that any dog can be saved. This not about hate, this is about education. Please educate this world by showing an evidence of a truly aggressive dog that is about to be put down. Save the doggies.
He would never take the challenge. ZG is a weak soy boy.
He won’t cause he can’t .
Positive reinforcement only training is flawed and will not correct all behavior issues.

😏😏😏
This is the most ridiculous piece of propaganda. I went to a Dog Daddy training in San Francisco. Augusto is a gifted trainer that helps so many dogs and people get their lives back. I want to see one video where one of these trainers that complain about Dog Daddy manages to truly help an aggressive dog. Aggressive dogs exist, they put people at risk. Their owners love them and want to be able to move through the world with them. Watch that video on Dog Daddy's channel. He doesn't give up on this dog. By the end of the video the dog is calm and in his lap and begging for pets from him. The dog isn't harmed or broken, he gives a broken dog a new way to be in the world. Augusto is passionate about dogs and about teaching people how to communicate with them. He is truly gifted at what he does.
This hit piece has some agenda...
Where's your videos on how to handle aggressive dogs? Oh that's right you don't have any you like to talk about stuff you can't do or handle
The real issue here is the thousands of dogs in shelters and pounds being euthanzed daily/weekly and dog breeders are allowed to continue the vivous cycle. The issue is incompetent government ministers in jobs they shouldn't be in.
I would absolutely love YOU TO SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE ...seriously ...i want to know what way you would handle it ...
In cases where an individual breaks the law, do you think imprisonment serves as an effective deterrent to prevent them from repeating the offense? Alternatively, do you believe a different approach, such as a compassionate plea and a steak dinner, might be more effective in persuading them not to harm others?
neither of these methods would be effective
So why don't you take on the type of dogs he does, and show the world how your methods are better. I've never seen you take on an aggressive or an extremely fear reactive dog. But you are obsessed with shutting down a man that is saving dogs from being g euthanized due to fear aggression/reactivity.
Show us your methods with these dogs works better. I know ive tried r+ with my reactive dog, and my trainer told me to put her down bc she was to scared of humans. Thats not an answer.
Positive reinforcement huh?
Tell that ridiculous SHIT to my heartbroken daughter and her wife whom have tried EVERYTHING in the last year and half, with a dog that has already established himself as the alpha in the home.
Hes an angel when i come and dog sit!
Does NOT chew on ANYthing
Doesnt even try! He obeys, Knows ALL the commands and is perfect! With ME. Because i made it clear the first time i met him and he jumped up and clawed the fuck outta my neck! I grabbed his scruff and SAT HIM DOWN
And MADE him stay there while i gave my daughter and her wife hugs...with them both FIRSTLY, horrified by how i handled him (theres your sign!) but secondly in complete and utter SHOCK that he was sitting there! Calm! Tail wagging and happy! NOT cowering or afraid!
CALM and NOT jumping and gouging...
Until i left to get my bags that is.
That was a year ago.
Their lives are being RUINED by Norman.

Its absolutely LUDICROUS to suggest otherwise!!
NOR DO THEY SUPRESS EMOTIONS! That is goofiest, bafoon shit ive EVER heard. And man, ive heard some STUPID SHIT in my 55 yrs!

A) DOMINAMCE!!
This IS the single MOST IMPORTANT THING your pet learns upom coming home with you!!! PERIOD.

@@ZaryaTheLaika I literally seen multiple videos on RUclips in the past two years of police handlers beating their dogs up and saying it was training.
@@whyYoustalking
It is training. They have trained dogs.
And a news flash for you: they would be the first to adopt positive reinforcement only training. Not because of a hypocrisy and fundamentalism like you do, but because of efficiency and results.
You see, we must first develop a strong dog character, who is capable of going through hardships of police and army work. And then we must control it.
Through control we lose some of this strength.
And that is the reason we would already all train positive only. In fact, more than 95% of our interactions with our dogs is positive reinforcement.
37 years in protection and competition dog training here.
When I read the bullshit that essentially you are spreading to the uninformed masses, it makes me sick.
So……are you basing this off video clips or have you actually been to one Dog Daddy’s training sessions and seen one from beginning to end. The reason I’m asking is because I just watched a few of his training videos and realized that he wasn’t “yanking” the dog as you mentioned, but these dogs come to him literally lunging at him. Not sure how anyone else would react to a dog their holding on a leash trying to bite them (especially a dog with a powerful bite force). I know of a Rottweiler who was poorly socialized and reacts this way to everyone he sees (even babies/children) and he will bite - make no mistake. So I’m wondering if these clips that people are commenting on look worse than they are. There are people out there dealing with real issues with dogs that have been mistreated and need rehab. There is a population of people that some dog trainers are NOT helping and people just need help with. Many are rehoming and taking in dogs with history and want to save a dogs life. There are lots of people who abuse dogs - backyard breeders do it in droves - for example. It would be great to get these shut down with protesters. Is there a way to talk about all of this holistically instead of going after one person only. Just feels like a witch hunt when this is a larger issue to address. I’m not saying I agree with Dog Daddy’s methods because I’ve never seen them in person and am not one of his customers, but I do know there are dogs that are being euthanized or sent to shelters because of the issues they have. I would rather see you focusing on that. This doesn’t feel like a positive way to solve a problem. Sure you can shut Dog Daddy down, but are you solving the problem???
is he solving the problem . YES!! He shows the world that this is NOT okay.. You guys need to create change.. We did that in Scandinavia so why can't you do the same ??
Wise words. Thank you
He shows nothing. I adopted a 1.5 year old dogo argentino. Without dog daddy and and American k9 we would have had to put him down. We tried zaks way. It's doesn't work for all dogs. To assume that every dog works the same way is ridiculous. Zak should be ashamed of himself. I will never watch another video from him. It awful how Zak can try to yo claim to help, but dog daddy actialldoes. No one in nyc wanted to train my dogo. We had no one willing to risk their skin. F U. It's a shame. You do what you do well. Stay in your lane
@@aschroerWise? You all must sit on computers hating on others progress... Makes complete sense now tbh 😂😂😂 "Get a life"....
Trash talking to make yourself look better....you would rather put the dogs down because you can't train them properly....these dogs are being saved and families are grateful!!
Funny thing is no owner is complaining...lol... 😂...
Dog daddy loves dogs and is an amazing trainer. He’s saved hundreds of dogs and families that had no hope. He’s not overly aggressive and works great with the dog owners. Many of people use prong collars but are not aware of their proper use. I know you think he’s your competition, but let’s focus on the real issue. Give owners effective tools so they can properly train their pets. That’s what dog daddy does.
yea if people do not like him just leave him alone. why bother????
@@jinahlee12 agreed
LMAOOOO georgey you’ve never worked with aggressive dogs like that. Anyone can train a dog that has no behavior problems. Would love to see your positive reinforcement with a dog thats trying to rip your face off
He can barely handle his own dog chasing a squirrel. 😂
ouch, my 5month old Mali knows when he is on leash, that nothing is fair game, not cats, other dogs, food lying on the floor but when we go down to the river and the leash comes off, he is free to chase down every prey item he can see, helps keep his prey drive fresh. Time and place for everything and this is my first Malinois, Garrett's video from American Standard really helped out a lot and I don't own a e-collar or pinch collar lol. Just a good routine, structure and a shit load more exercise then I know how to deal with lol. Positive only will never work on these dogs but it's like 90 percent of the training, sad that small 10% of discipline is what people can only bitch about.@@happypawspet
Zak wants Dogs to die. Zak is a Psychopath who is single handedly, well also with the help of all his fools, passive aggressively stopping Dogs from getting the help they need from the true experts who do such work. Therefore Zak is getting his Rocks off knowing Dogs will die directly from his BS campaign against Not only all the Hero's and their proven effective methods on Video transparently like Dog Daddy and Joel Beckman who are helping dogs every single day. Zak is a disease apon Dogs and the Dog industry and history will show who's who and what's what.
Zak is a Dog Murderer.
Man's best friend should never suffer abuse, no animals should.
What he’s not mentioning is the owners get their own training also. Not just the dog 🐕 DD #1 Rule.
Harassing and inciting others to harass a single person is against the law, as is cyber bullying. It would be in Dog Daddy's best interest to sue this guy who is endangering both his livelihood and his life. He has had to hire bodyguards because these people are so nasty towards him. And if anyone is to hurt him and it is shown they were following Zak George's call to attend specific DD events to "peacefully protest", Zak George can and should be held accountable in a criminal court of law.
Really? That is a rather ludicrous statement. He is so tough with dogs this dog daddy but has to hire body guards? Think about that statement
@@sandinixon People are crazier than dogs so not much to think about. Look how easily misled you all are. 1 of you brainless twits can show up at DD event and try to shoot him. You're obviously sadistic people and Zak George has enabled you by sending you all after this 1 young man.
@@sandinixonu sound like an idiot to not understand the complete difference ... dd isnt acting tough w any dogs , he is staying calm and firm through the initial desensitizing process ... u need to do more research .
@@sandinixonyeah, I've commented on dog daddy's videos so many times. He promotes spike choke collors for training. This guy bullies dogs into submission. These dogs will eventually fight back and who do you think is going to pay the ultimate price if a dog turns on someone? The dog not buddy dog daddy. That is your bully.
@@jennr1787 You must not have watched through many videos then or you're just completely lying which is more likely the case. He rarely uses prong collars and while working with aggressive dogs, never uses them. Just uses a slip lead.
The prong collar is just used in cases of basic walking in the heel position and when properly used, works great for that specific thing. The good thing about it is not much pressure has to be applied if you know what you're doing. It's just a flick of the wrist to redirect. When used properly, will not hurt the dog in the least bit, just have to keep it high up on the neck and ensure it is fitted properly.
It is actually far safer than a flat collar. Often see dogs dragging their owners on walks and the flat collar lays lower on their necks whereas it's choking them all along the way.
He also never bullies dogs, just lets them act out and desensitizes them. Never more than a quick little correction here or there which is not how bullying is defined but people like you not looking to be honest, just hateful.
In every video I've seen he has the dogs responding to his commands and even taking treats from him so, again, that nonsense about them being in fear and shut down is just lies from haters. The opposite is actually true as many of the aggression in the dogs comes from fear and it is that fear he is desensitizing them from.
Dog Daddy is not abusive!!! He is not hitting them, he is not hurting them or anything. These dogs that he's helping are trying to attack them, he's helping their confidence by showing them he's in control, he's establishing their human as an alpha so they can follow them and the dog wont feel the meed of being aggressive and try to attack in order to feel safe around other people or dogs. He's only handling the keash and touching a tickekish spot in their back leg in order to take their attention away from what they're barking at. You seem to be so obsessed with him and its only because he became a lot more popular than you so you're trying to shut him down in order to feel better about yourself. Positive ONLY is not always the answer with every dog, dogs need to know what is wrong behavior and praise good behavior. You're just jealous of him and trying to put him down in order to put yourself in a higher position. Sad what jealousy does to people.
Yes he is abusive. He’s not licensed he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing.
Agree!
@@SuperFosterMomhim not being licensed doesn't mean he's abusive! I've watched him make a lot of progress in dogs that are overly aggressive!
@@cheriblossomx88he's avoiding getting attacked or even bitten in a lot of cases! I haven't seen him physically hurt any dog I've only seen I'm making amazing progress in a very different way! PPL are just trying to cause drama over nothing yet again! Smh
@@red2thebone in this case yeah, it does: listen to the actual trainers authorized to speak on it: I work with shelter dogs. This is dangerous. That’s not progress you are seeing it’s fear from authoritative methods.
before seeing this I thought he was wrong when I watched him wrangle a hour and half with a 7 month old doberman the one shown here I wanted to cry watching it. I have owned and trained dobermans for years and his method is totally unacceptable. He s putting on a show not working with the dog. . I wanted to punch my monitor watching dog daddy. Disagree with the commenters who back go daddy. his method is like people who "brake" a horse not train it
The only thing any dog trainers are going to agree on are what other dog trainers are doing wrong.
All this man do is give advice I want to see him go in the field and deal with an aggressive dog
You never will.
Zak, why not have a discussion with Robert Cabral or Will Atherton about dog training? I honestly feel like you're going for low hanging fruit with DD.
Will Atherton calls himself a behavourist but there is no proof that he is.
@@crotchet1586sure but I still think a discussion with either of them would be useful for the audience of both those guys.
What is funny is my daughter's dog didn't bark like he would normally when around another dog. He didn't do anything like this at the one I went to. All the dogs were not like that, except one dog where it went to bit its female owner. But think that dog had an issue with women. So yeah our dog didn't get that kind of training.
Why would a dog have an issue with women? Fear. Train compassionately and use science. As a fear-free professional, I've turned countless aggressive dogs around, using compassionate methods without anyone getting bitten.
@@rpodadventure You can claim success with death row dogs all you like. But until someone, anyone, posts a video of force free rehabilitation, specially the early parts, you're claims will be taken with a grain of salt. I have actually tried searching on RUclips for "positive only rehabilitation of aggressive dogs" And the only videos I found were of people TALKING about it. No one actually doing it. So if you have any links to videos SHOWING how force free rehabilitation is done on truly aggressive dogs, please provide them! There are a lot of people who would genuinely want to see them.
@@rpodadventure lets see it grandma, no one seems to post anything about purely positive training with aggressive dogs but post 1000 videos of dogs that have minimal problems. You purely positive trainers always have something to say but never any video to back it up. Now get a dog thats ready to be put down for biting and turn that dog around in a session or 2. Ill wait grandma
@@rpodadventure, The “proof is in the pudding.” Since you have turned so many aggressive dogs around with compassionate methods that you can't even count them, link your videos.
The dogs are so aggressive that they have to wear a muzzle. And when you've accomplished your goal, the muzzle comes off. You have to turn the dog around in one, one-hour session, We need apples-to-apples comparisons.
I do hope you link your videos. If not… then you have no proof. If you can’t train the dog enough in a one-hour session sense how long do you have to work with the dog to complete the process?
@@User7688.--_ I have a few up on
@godoggodogtraining but my focus is always on working with dogs and their people, not making egotistical videos and fiddling with camera equipment. People pay me to change their dogs using humane methods, not try to get my 15 minutes of fame.
Positive reinforcement wont work on dogs that are aggressive. I want to see you Zak do the same thing in parks like dog daddy, but you wont because your methods are inferior to his and wont ever work with your hot dogs.
It's giving hater.... idk but he seems like a hater
People that have not worked as trainers, handled competitive working dogs or titled working dogs, have zero knowledge on training a very hard/aggressive dog. The opinions of these people about dog training is the equivalent of your hair stylist's opinion on how brain surgery should be performed.
@kirkhochburger8247. BEST . COMMENT. EVER.
Ditto!
You hit the nail on the head with this one. This is pure jealously on DD
Let's face it - either Zac is doing this campaign for clicks and engagement - (Note, he is the one using the inflammatory click bait titles on all his posts these days), OR, he should just go head-to-head with Dog Daddy in a long term study on treating aggressive and HIGHLY reactive dogs. Not the slightly reactive dogs his videos use.
DON'T TALK ABOUT IT - DO IT!
Always quoting science and studies - What about contributing to the science actively, in real time Zac?
Take part in an open experiment, that everyone can follow on Social media?
10 large-breed, aggressive dogs each for one week of training, with follow-ups after 1 month and 3 months. Let's see the results.
Less talk - more showing!
And even that would not be a verifiable test.
First we would have to find a problematic dog and his owner, who would then come to training to Zak.
They would have to be controlled by an independent body of trainers.
We all can train the dog, when cameras are off. In fact, my dogs are balanced trained, but you couldn't tell. I always get compliments how joyful, sure and obedient they are.
