He actually reads comments luckily.
Zach’s pixel animations And games yeah sometimes he REPLIES!
Same!
You were really forcing it but I don’t care
Took one week to potty train my youngest dog 🙌 just stuck to getting him outside every time I thought he might need to go. He’s only had 5 accidents his whole life and he’s 8 months old now. I’m so proud 🥰
U are so lucky 🍀
We’ve been doing the same! Just getting her out has been the best solution, even tho we live on the 4th floor with no elevator 😄
Wow, that's great! It's definitely a good idea to avoid pads and newspaper if you are able to take your dog out quickly and consistently for the first few weeks. What breed is your dog?
Hayley Wargnier ❤️❤️❤️
Hayley Wargnier what breed is he ?
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
Me with my 7 weeks old puppy: I think we got this bud
Me with my now 9 week old puppy: *You fool*
I feel so validated 😭 potty training is asorbing my life right now and we’ve still got one accident a day
I feel your pain!
I feel you. We have 2-3 accidents per day 🥲
@@Bugglesgoono way
I’m getting my puppy tomorrow and I know he’ll be wonderful just like my other pup because I use YOUR videos to train her!
Perfect timing! I'm getting a puppy soon, so this is much needed guidance. Your videos are so helpful!
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m a new puppy owner, and having a VERY hard time with biting and potty training. We have only had our puppy about 2 weeks but she has learned a couple commands thankfully using your videos.
I was completely clueless so I watched a bunch of your videos months before we got her. Now I’m rewatching for things I forgot lol!
Omg you just read my mind😂 I got my puppy yesterday and she’s so far away from being potty trained 💗
Same
Just got my puppy - having the hardest time potty training! The video is black. Any tips from someone who has had success?!
@@rachelewilken930 my dog's not completely potty trained yet but here's a tip, keep taking them outside literally every 10 minutes and when they pee outside, give them a "good boy" or a treat or just something to tell them that they are doing good, when they pee inside don't give anything just say BAD DOG and don't do anything like giving them treats for the next 5 minutes. for my dog we've been doing this for 2months, he still would pee inside sometimes but its way less.
Same!
@@Primeto my dog doesnt listen 😭
Thanks Zac, your videos have been so incredibly helpful. I have an 11 week old toy poodle named Henry, we're following your training methods and making great progress. Big up mate!
Hey Zak, we just got a 12 week old beagle, I’ve watched many videos re: various training & by far yours have been the most effective. Appreciate your content & approach! 💪💪🙌
This is gonna help me a lot for my Labrador pup
I get my puppy in about a week and I’ve been watching so many videos. These have helped so much
I watched the start of this series ... and omg look how gorgeous your dog has turned out, she is stunning 💜
I had a dog growing up that would pee in the bed of whoever gave him a bath... happened literally every time he got a bath.
I've been a dog owner my whole life. All different breeds and I've always done my training personally with all of them to build that bond between the two of us. I have a new puppy that is also a new breed to me. He's a rescue, but I got him early at 4 months old, 2 weeks ago. The breed I'm 95% sure he is is a Dutch Shepherd. He's super smart. However, I was looking for a better way of teaching him boundaries because he wasn't quite picking up on my method. The video i just watched was great! I picked up on everything that you suggested I do. I will be watching more training videos and I've subscribed as well. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I just got your books a few days ago and the have really helped me!!!
Have a blessed day
thank you Zak for this video ❤️
I really needed it
Oh my goodness inertia is so big. I’ve been watching since the first day you got her to get ready for my dog. Your videos are so helpful.
These have helped us so much in training our puppy. Had him sitting, laying down, and knowing his name within a couple days of having him. Still working on potty training but our pup has been excellent with that as well :-)
How's your pup now?
How’s your pup with potty training?
@@jaylani206 fully potty trained! Only took maybe... 4 months. Biggest life saver is just having training treats ready for when they go potty outside and reward right then and there and not to fuss when an accident happens inside (because that's ultimately our fault for not monitoring or taking them out frequently enough)
@@Rachaelbot this helps a lot 😊 I’m getting my guy on the 10th so I want to be as ready as possible! Thank you!
@@jaylani206 awwww! How fun! :D
Hello Zak George, I got a boxer puppy not too long ago and have been watching your videos constantly I subscribed and also wanted to say thank you so much!
Early! I love your channel it’s helped me a lot, I’ve been following you even before Inertia but I’ve followed you since you got Inertia too, your videos will help me with my puppy a lot! I subscribed to you!
Thank you Zak George you’ve help me soooo much!!
I love how the videos are now overviews
I just got an 11 week old heeler shepherd mix, and omg, he's the cutest. He looks like a fluffy blue heeler. 😍
I've downloaded your app and watched hours of videos. Thank you so much for everything you do bc after 1 week he knows leave it, sit, down, come, and we're doing really good with potty training.
Coming from the new kona series: im getting a new puppy in like a month and want to do things right!
You're the best!!!
Thank you so much For all the help your videos have given me. We just got a puppy and I was so overwhelmed but your videos are easy to follow and with in a week he is doing amazing with sit watch me come in when I call him we still have a long ways to go but is a wonderful start. Thank you so much
Thank you for this video! i’m getting a dog this Friday and this came out just in time
We got a 7-week-old beagle puppy about a month ago, and we have had a very difficult time with potty training and her biting. So I am about to start binging your videos!
I’m getting a new pupper on Saturday I’ve been watching these constantly
This is so helpful! Thank you. Thank you!
I really love your channel and thank youu for all your amazing training tips 😍🤩✨❤️
Thank you! Really great information 👌 and I like how your dad didn't listen to be calm with the puppy 😁
I am very happy that I watch you because when I have experience with dogs I can tell my dad to get me one shortly 😁😁
im taking so many notes
Fantastic video, im getting a shih zhu in 3 days and this video fixed in alot of gaps for me
Hi Zak, I am getting a havanese puppy in a few months and I have watched every one of your videos! ❤️
I am getting my new 2 month old dog this Tuesday and this is so good!
Super helpful! My puppy is almost 4 months old, and we’ve had very few accidents! But, I’m not celebrating just yet, and will be keeping this video in mind if we have a setback 👏🏻
How did you made it?
My Pitbull-German Shepherd puppy is 13 weeks old now. I'm potty training him an alternate way -- I built two exercise pens together with a crate in the front yard. He gets to play in there and have plentiful potty breaks whenever he wants. I work from home in the living room and monitor him thru the window. I can praise him every time I see him go, and it provides much less opportunities for accidents in the house. I've been able to gradually increase his time in the house, monitoring him closely. I prefer to bring him in the house for playtime right after he has gone #1 and #2 for lowest risk of accidents. Then we can play together or he hangs out with a chew stick and learns how we behave in the house. I love your "Settle" training and I incorporate that a lot in my training! I praise and reward him for calm behavior as much as possible.
Thank you for this video I potty trained my German Shepherd in 4 weeks. We got him at 6 weeks. I'm so happy he now tells me when he has to go by standing by the door.
This guy is the best
I have a basset hound, it’s been difficult to train him. He’s 3 months. Thanks for this video 👍🏻
I've got a 3 month old basset as well! They are tricky for sure
Lol Hounds are hard take it out 1to 2 times a hour if possible remember that they are meant to be outdoor dogs so a dog door would be very beneficial for him
We had no problems potty training our hound (a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen bitch). I think the three things that made the largest difference were:
1. Spending a lot of time outdoors and rewarding her anytime she did her business. We would eat our meals outside and tie her to the table, read books while she slept on a blanket, etc.
2. Restricting her indoor space (she lived in our small-ish kitchen), and making sure every part of that room was valuable to her (playing, training, feeding in every part of the room and placing water, toys or her bed in spots she might be drawn to). This is a lot like the crate+playpen setup only it was easier to also spend time in her space.
3. One of us would stay up very late and the other one would wake up early so that we could take her out during the night and early morning as well. I think we took her out every second hour throughout the night for a week or so, after that we could space her nighttime potty breaks out quite quickly as she started to desire to keep her area clean. We did not leave her alone for extended periods during the day before she was very close to being completely potty trained, and when we both had to go to work we had a dog walker take her out in the middle of the day.
4. We never used puppy pads or newspaper, instead we aimed for never having her go inside the house. Of course she did have a few accidents, which we removed with an enzymatic cleaner and made sure to cover the area with valuable objects. When she was almost potty trained she'd have an accident maybe once a week or once a month for about half a year, we just made sure to clean well and be extra careful about taking her out during the following days, and her accident rate would drop steadily so we knew she was on the right track.
5. As we introduced her to new rooms in the house and took her to new places we were very careful to make sure she had just done her business and we loaded these new areas with value by feeding, playing and training for a short while and the taking her out again.
It was A LOT of work during the first month, but all that dedication quickly payed dividends in that her accident rate dropped very consistently, and compared to puppies of the same age that we met she improved quite quickly as well. Our hound now has a desire to keep all indoor areas clean and at 15 months we feel completely confident she would never soil an indoor space.
@@elisabethunderwood716 Also, NO FREE FEEDING! Make a mealtime/potty break schedule and try to figure out how long it takes for a meal to become a bowel movement (it should be about 12 hours for an older puppy, at only 3 months it might be a bit difficult to tell since he probably has more than two meals a day). Playtime and treat training will also affect their potty schedule.
Since you have a male puppy, be careful he does not start marking indoors. Preventing indoor marking is a bit different to potty training, so that's something to read up on once he starts approaching sexual maturity.
Emma Blomqvist thank you!! This is great to hear. My hound was doing great with potty training he keeps his play pen clean, and barks to go outside for his business, but recently he began to poop on our living room carpet something he never did before. He’s done it every day this week even as I’m watching over him like a hawk. When it happens I pick him up mid poop and take him outside. I think I will try your (5.) introducing him to new rooms slowly. Thanks again 👍🏻🙂🙂
Gonna pick up my golden retriever pup in 3 weeks I'm so excited but a bit nervous though your videos have helped a lot with that. I can't say I feel 100% prepared as he'll be my first dog but I feel like I'm not going in blind thanks to you
I’m getting a dog tomorrow! This is so helpful 😃
Keep up the great work
Best vids ever !!
These Videos have been super helpful! Thank you Mucho Danke!
Getting my puppy today ! So excited to train him
Perfect timing, just brought home my Border Collie girl from Kim Gentle Shepherds! Hopefully she is as successful as Super Nova :)
Thank you we just got a chocolate lab who really needed this vid i luv ur vids!
Getting my puppy tomorrow thx for the advice😁
I really needed this. I recently got a new King Charles Cavalier puppy and we can be outside with her for like 10 minutes and she’ll still choose to use the bathroom in the house...
thank you so much for this!
My Cavaoo was not getting it until I hung door bells! It literally took her a day and boom. She's 9 now and such a precious pup ❤
This is such a good resource!! I’m about to get a pup in October and I’m so nervous about toilet training. 🤞🤞🤞
So useful . Thankyou . This channel is awesome👏
Could you tell me a good harness for my border collie I noticed yours wears one a lot
This will be helpful because I am getting a 3 month old puppy named Axl I think this vid helped a LOT
Don’t you just love that intro?!
Thank you for not making me feel like a failure😣
our puppy always destroyed the pee pads...so we stopped using them. but it turned out fine and now she is doing really well with doing her business outside :) thanks to your videos and advises :)
Thank god for these videos because without them my dog would be a mess
This video is working very well he listens to me now
I got my scottie baby down in about 3 weeks of training. It has been 4 weeks now since she had an accident and knows to go to the door when she needs outside. Starting to give her more freedom, she is just about 16 weeks old now. HANG IN THERE! IT GETS EASIER!!
Your videos have been so helpful with my puppy training! My girl is almost 7 months now. Do you have advice for phasing out potty pads? When did you stop using them? I really like having them at night because she still usually goes at least once during the night. I live in an apartment so it's also nice to have them when it's raining and stuff. Do I need to phase them out? I hear a lot of people say that it slows down potty training, but she doesnt really have accidents in the apartment anymore (except when she misses the mat!). I just don't really see a lot of people who continue using the pads after the first few months.
Thanks for the video I will teach my puppy
I love your videos, they are super helpful and I enjoy your enthusiastic energy. I have a lot to learn and you are helping me with that. Thank you!
Today I came home after having my puppy be alone for the first time for almost 3 hours. I was suprised to see she did not pee or poop inside. As soon as I came home I took her outside for about 10min, but she didn’t do anything, I feel like she’s scared outside, she just wants to go back inside and keeps pulling towards the house. We are back in for about a minute and I hear her peeing! Once I cleaned it and was washing my hands I come back and I smell poop...she pooped at the same spot I just cleaned 😅
My dog had puppies and were keeping one, she's already 8 weeks, this video will definitely be helpful .
I’ve found the pup I kept from my litter the most difficult to train. Do to memories and scent from when she was little. She’s 3 now, and has started to pee on the areas she went to as a little one. How did your training go?
I’ll use this for my future dog
Im getting a bichon frise puppy next month and this video will definitely help!
Thanks for the video! I was definitely relaxing too much😂😬
OMGoodness my pup is driving me bonkers.. I am so glad that I found your page. Tomorrow will be the beginning of Bentlys training.
How is Bently's training going?
I have a Samoyed puppy which is 6 months and he is having a lot of troubles with, 1) excitement urinating. 2) table/counter surfing. 3) Crate trading. (We watched Zaks videos all the time about crate training and we did crate training drills 7 times a day with at least 45 minutes or 20 minutes. We crate trained him since around the second or first week of having him, the first few night, when the crate didn’t come in yet, we had him sleep in a small square shaped baby gated area.) 4) leash training. ( he also tends not to listen very well and when he sees dogs he either cries or tugs). 5) My cousins have 2 Shiz Tzus and he tends to be more rough against them. (He is often okay-ish) with dogs but with some mostly smaller dogs he is more rough but with bigger dogs he is either scared, antsy, jumpy or barking I don’t know whether or not he is being mean to them though.
If anyone has any answers it would help greatly! I knew Samoyeds were stubborn be he seems very stubborn because he had slept in his crate for basically 6 months already and still hates it.
This video is very helpful!! I´m getting a puppy in less than 2 months! Kinda nervous to mess things up with training bc im a first tiem owner! So your videos really help!! :DD
Hi Zak! I’ve been a fan since I’ve gotten my very first puppy. Your videos has been a huge help and I am thankful and appreciate your time in creating these helpful content. I have an issue that I’ve been struggling with my puppy. He’s 9mos now and I’d say he’s gotten the potty training down but he still makes accidents. He has the general idea of using his puppy pad. He does at times go to his area where his pad is at but at times he doesn’t even if it’s just like right by his side he goes and does his business. Can you recommend anything that I can help? Thank you again!
And these treats taste great,
So you eat the treats.
No But for real these videos have been helping me a lot.
you should make a program that shows you each video to watch depending on the puppys age. And a schedule that tells you when to have them take naps be feed. And how much to feed them as they get older.
You can find that in the new Pupford app! Zak's training videos are featured in the app.
I rescued a 4 month old mini schnauzer. She has not been trained at all. She doesn’t even know how to walk on a leash. Your videos have helped me lots!
This is what I did last year since my collie is just a little younger than Inertia. She went outside about every 20 minutes when she first arrived, and over time the time between potty outings extended. However, late December or very early January is when everything clicked with her and she has had only one accident since then.
This is great
I swear Zak, you are the only North American trainer I've found so far to even consider the idea that your viewers may live in a high rise apartment building with no quick direct access to a lovely lush backyard. I live in an apartment on the 6th floor, and it takes me a good couple of minutes to take my puppy out, so I'm always a little frustrated with how backyard owners make potty training look so easy - just pick them up before they get the opportunity to go and rush them outside... Easier said than done!
My puppy was using padded mats for the first two weeks (took to them quickly), but then my local trainer insisted I get rid of them and focus on teaching her to solely go outside. She's been having accidents ever since. Should I just go back to using mats? 🥺
Thanks for your videos, love your style.
I used puppy pads for Charlie, we had all over the living room and certain spots to back door and eventually just at back door, was hard to get Charlie out as really bad winter here in uk. She’s fully trained now but we put puppy pads down at back door when really bad weather as she hates rain. She’s only tiny even at 11months old 👍😊🐶🐾.
Hi Zak! Love your videos! I am getting a puppy very soon and I am so excited to use these videos and Pupford for training.
I have a question though: my puppy is in my hometown which is 6 hours away from where I currently live. Should I bring him to home as soon as possible? Or would it be ok for us to stay at my moms house for a week?
I am scared to make him more confused by letting him adjust for a week and then moving again....
Zak, thanks for all these amazing videos, they are tons of help! We have a 17 week old englsih cocker spaniel. she is doing great potty training wise, but she still wakes up twice in the middle of the night to be let outside, usually at around 12-1 and 5-6 am. Did I do something wrong or is it normal for her to still wake up once or twice? I never used the pads in our house, i watched her like a hawk during the day and took her out as much as possible and praised her when she did it outside.any tip would be really appreciated, thanks so much
I’m getting my puppy in 8 weeks so this was the perfect video 😂💙
I started studying up and watching Zak George's channel 7 weeks before I brought home my puppy! He's 13 weeks old now and all the preparation has really paid off!
I'm getting mine in 4, so exciting.
i got mine 6 weeks ago 😅 wish hed released this earlier lol
I just got 3 puppies this was really helpful 😺
Abigail Weisbeck it’s fine my family helps in taking care of them.
I truly enjoy your TH-cam. Thank you for your teaching! We got shiba Inu 1 month ago
She is 3 months old and she can pee and poo outside but she doesn’t. We have been trying to train with potty pad in her area. The problem is that she rips off the pad, chewing the pad and pees where she took the pads. Hoping you could give me a advice and guidance !!!!!!! I am new to dog so still lots to learn.
I havent got my puppy yet...im a bit nervous but thankyou for all of this advice..
My puppy nova is still having such a hard time with going to the washroom outside thanks for this video it helps a lot! Also one of the issues we’ve been having is since In the morning the grass is wet Nova will not want to go to the washroom or step a paw on the grass.
maybe put some pads on the grass so it doesn't feel wet?
Ibrahim qureshi thanks for the advice
Aye!! My puppy is named Nova too!!
I just got my puppy 2 days ago. He is 8 weeks old and he doesn’t like going outside. I’ve tried to walk him for 30 minutes to an hour right after feeding and he will hold it until he gets inside 😫
My 3 months border collie does the same, last night he just hold it for 3 hours, he is always distracted by noises, people or stuff he finds in the street.
Yeahh same
Sounds like maybe you're taking them to places with too much stimulation. You need to find a quiet place outside where there aren't a lot of distractions for them to go.
The time when they need to go the most is right after waking up, not right after eating. It takes a while to process the food.
@@imnotmike lol...just got a pup. She will pee and poo right before she eats andpee and poo again right after she eats. She will pee immediately after she drinks a bit of water or if she has been playing or sleeping. I have a multi-level home. 😰 I'm certainly going to get more exercise running up and down the stairs with this pooch.
My 4 month old lab does the same thing!!!! He will pee something but not like how he should and I don't think he has ever went poop outside. The second we come in the house he will pee and poop😭 Someone please help!!! I have a crate but I haven't tried it, I don't know much about them, I'm sure he will cry in there. He's so spoiled, he can't climb onto our bed so we have to help him up. I think I'm going to have to start cracking down on a strict schedule. I'm getting so tired of picking up his poo ugh He's growing so fast and the piles are growing even faster lol #Help!!!
Your. Videos are so educational for people who own dogs l✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻😊
this helps a lot because im getting a sweet little girl who is not puppy trained shes a dachsund terrier mix
Zak, can you please help with a video explains what to train your dog and when? So not to overwhelm the puppy? Maybe you already have one? I have been watching inertia’s training from the start and this somewhat answers my question but would be great to have video with a breakdown by week... 8, 12... milestones etc
Thank you for the time you take to do these videos, the great information and your personality.
Our clients on our puppy wait list love you and it's been a great resource for them!
-Might have to start giving them your books with our puppy kits!
Thank you SO much. You're appreciated!
Wow you and pewdiepie uploaded a video at the same time and now im confused on who to watch first (i think you guessed it)
Your shoes, sir. Well done.
Our first puppy, Australian Shepherd/Border Collie, took only a few days.
We took her out every two hours by setting a timer. It was magical!
Then, we adopted a seven-month old Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler (cattle dog), who’s been trained on a balcony. First, I’m going to need to undo her thinking before “reprogramming” her mind. She’ll hold it for hours until we get indoors.
We’ve thought about those lawn patches, but then we’d need to train her twice! What a headache!
Suggestions?
Great video Thank you Zak. How do you keep your grass looking so good after Inertia pees in the yard? :)
Hi Zak, thanks for sharing your amazing videos. I have a question. I've been told to keep my puppy on the same diet used by the breeder for two weeks (Purina chicken and rice) after picking her up, however, I'm also hearing about training using treats. I need to potty train, crate train, and leash train my dog asap. So, should I use treats? Will they mess my puppy's digestive process? Thanks for your help.
Our puppy is 17 weeks and still not potty trained, I needed to see this video tysm love your videos ❤️
Good video
