Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thanks
Thanks dude 👍🏾
You're a blessing to mankind
Me watching this knowing my dogs gonna jump on the couch as soon as I turn around 👁👄👁
at least you know lol
Me watching this knowing nothing pisses on my couch when i leave 🧐
@@Anthonybrother Keep him with you, even used a leash. Or crate
Exactly , no matter how many times. My mackavelli knows not too. But soon as I walk in the door he runs off of the couch because he knows I will get mad at him lol
😂😂😂😂
You can tell he’s happy when training Otto and any other dogs that’s what I love about this channel
I don't even have a dog but I still love watching your videos
Ayesha S. Same
Same
Ayesha S. do you have a dog now?
I've watched a few of your videos now and I really love your training method! As parent who prefers a gentler more positive approach too, your approach really resonates with me for my dogs.
Just got a new pit bull she’s 4 months and these videos are extremely helpful I learned to really understand my puppy and not be necessary so dominant.. she’s brought me so much joy. But she’s totally took over the couch. trying to re enforce this new rule before it’s a normal thing for her. Thanks so much (: .. I almost wasn’t going to keep her but if I can train her and have fun with her why not (:
I feel this same way.
I don’t mind my dog lying on the couch but she stands on the couch and when guests come over she jumps on the couch and jumps on them. And she’s a husky not a small dog 😩
Same here huskies are like thattt
Starts at 2:00. ...but hey! Consider buying the linked air purifier for Zak still.
Weimaraners are so damn smart it is stunning! Otto is a replica of one of my last weims. I had them from cradle to my age 60. My last 2 were out of mine lived to ages 17 and 18. I ran a weim rescue and placed about 200. Starbuck was in his 4th home at 18 months he flunked doberman down training. They taught him how to wrestle with humans he won he flunked! One of the best weims I ever met. Starbuck was a 100 pound reiteralm weimar bred by Tom Wilson. So obedient after 2 weeks of proper retraining. I had the neighborhood house. Had about 30 kids here every week. They grew up with starbuck from age 11 they were. Starbuck was 18 months when I brought him here as he was to be put down. He died of congestive heart failure at age 17. Starbuck knew all of the rules of the house. He held all of the children/adolescents to them. If they broke a rule he got me by sitting his big ass down with thunder barking loudly and pawing my wrist. Then led me to the transgression.
A properly bred weimaraner is just incredible. When I was a very young child I was always at adolph hauserman house when who was one of the original Germans who bred brought them over and bred them. Strong warning to people who watch these videos! These dogs are everything these people demonstrate to you. I had to re home over 200! And was a behavior specialist for this breed. This breed is not daycare doggie! This breed may be much smarter then you are! Listen to this u-turn carefully. You have to be mentally balanced, intelligent and dedicated to a weim. If not look out! I re-homed about 200 of them. They accurately read and intuit a humans every thought. You can fool all the humans around you but you cannot fool a weimaraner. You cannot demand respect from this breed you must command respect. At least on the level 4 to 5's on the German temperament test. They are part doberman and were used by the German police. They hunt big game. That takes people by surprise.
I had labs etc this dog does whatever he wants! He opens doors and windows and ovens etc! Well why didn't you tell him not to?
Have a Newfie puppy who can basically walk up on the couch, he's four months old. Excited to try this technique. Thank you.
This is hard when you have 3 stubborn huskies. :/
@jdsjdjsj i have a stubborn 9month old, 100 pound rottweiler😭
Zak is just so trusting and lovable that its so easy to follow his advice and I see him as such an amazing resource thank you for the videos!
Love the intro. I think Auto is my favorite dog so far. I hope he comes back.
*Otto
Ya i noticed that after i posted lol
Ottoman you meant
Hey Zac,you have no idea how much you helped me with my Australian Shepherd so thank you so much!!!
Hi Zak, our Lab puppy has responded well to this training when we are sat on the sofa or playing on the floor with him but the second we leave the room (even if we are gone for 10 seconds) he will jump up and settle himself down immediately! We’ve never allowed him to sit on the sofa but through curiosity he’s jumped himself up there and found it rather comfy. What’s the best way to break the habit of jumping up on the sofa when we leave the room?
I wld also love to know what to do. Our pitbull waits for us to leave the lounge and when i come back he's taken over the couch. HELP!!!!
Whenever you find them on it, you scold them and whack them in the head with a rolled up newspaper. Just enough to not hurt them, but they get the message. I mean this is basic stuff here...c'mon guys
Ibn Khairuddeen (ابن خير الدين الألباني) I hope this is sarcastic cause that just teaches them to be afraid of getting hit with a newspaper
@@YesYES-no8kf No, it doesn't, snowflake. It "just teaches" them to not go against your command (ie jump on the couch). Effectively. Powerfully. Quickly. You live in your politically correct fantasy land. I'll stay here in reality.
Ibn Khairuddeen (ابن خير الدين الألباني) lmao you talk like some conservative stereotype bot. I’m literally a teacher, you are using a short term solution that doesn’t actually teach them what they did wrong, just that they should be afraid of you with a newspaper. But since you think I’m just saying that for the sake of being politically correct, I know you aren’t even ready to begin to understand that
OMG the eyes of this dog!!! 😍
LOL the way Otto stares directly into the camera 😂😂🤣
Otto is beautiful!
FACTS
Beautiful Weimaraner ❤️
I'm getting a pup soon so I've watched almost all you videos to be prepared with training
My inconsistency between cuddling her, and telling her to get down, is my greatest barrier to stopping my Doberman placing her heavy top half of her body on my lap. It’s bad enough if I am trying to watch TV, but worst of all when trying to work on my computer in a swivel chair. It’s hard to reach a keyboard with a “lap” Doberman 😂. I hope this helps me, and Zac saying “you may have to do this 100s of times” is reality I guess.
I agree. My Dobermann thinks it’s a great game! 🙄
Zak, you are a joy to watch. Thank you for spreading your wisdom!
Thanks for the video! As my husky got older she started to ignore boundaries and jumps on the furniture and even onto our laps. We just got a new couch so I am definitely going to get back on the training.
Did it get better?
You bought a cat that looks like a dog. Huskies don't have that "must please human!" mentality at all. They DGAF what humans want or say so, I'm betting not lol. #1 hardest dog to train
This is so good, and solves my confusion over how to avoid rewarding the unwanted behaviour
I dont even have a dog but I really enjoy your videos. I am always impressed and amazed at how you teach the doggies! :D
Wow, great job Otto!
I love Otto the Weimaraner I have a Weimaraner too.
I like the longer videos!
My stubborn Rottweiler mix is 4 1/2 months and no matter how many times i try this she just go backs after training is over
This is not working for me. Bailey started jumping on the sofa yesterday. Since then we have gone through, stop (occasionally getting her off the sofa if I wasn’t quick enough), then sit, down, stay, treat. We’ve done it 100+ times. She’s had so many tiny treats it’s astonishing. But all she does is instantly try to get back on the sofa (or coffee table). In exhaustion I’ve put her in time out. But I really feel like I’ve failed :-( She’s just totally not understanding.
She has figured out the system. This is one of the risks with reward based training. She knows that every time she gets on the couch she initiates a routine that results in her getting a treat. Even if you do a sit and stay in between as Zak suggests, dogs are clever enough to figure out that the act of jumping on the couch is still the initial trigger of that training routine and ultimately her ticket to a treat.
Mandy Simpson do more primary training sessions with her
gonna take more than a day
Mandy Simpson your training her to get a treat for jumping on the furniture now she knows, gets on couch you give her a treat
Search the channel: Solid k9 training, this guys theory actually works immediately. I have no affiliation with this company, but it's the only training method that has worked for me with my dogs, I've tried all this redirect BS, it doesn't work, you are correct, you didn't fail.
Just the video I needed, thank you! 7 month old cockapoo who thinks he's actually a mountain goat. :)
Abi JayWood I have the same problem with our horse borador buddy Haha!
Haha, that sounds a lot more challenging
Abi JayWood it is but it's fun to do! Good luck with your training Abi
Thank you haha :)
Haha yes I have a cockarpoo as well so I get your struggle
I'm a UK viewer and love to support you, it would be great if you were sponsored by a product I can buy here!
I don't want to keep dogs off the furniture permanently, but I worry about certain circumstances and also about pet dander, SO: Can you teach a dog that it's okay to be on a special blanket even if that blanket is on the furniture, but it's not okay to be on the furniture when the blanket is absent? Or would that just confuse the dog hardcore by being inconsistent in their mind?
My dogs are trying to take control of my bed. I'm so looking forward to working on this to reclaim my bed
My nearly 6 month old Dobermann just isn’t getting it, so I’m going to try this!
Now that is the test of a supreme trainer; Weimaraners are super strong headed and intelligent. Love these vids. Thank you
Hey zak, I've got a staffy cross sharpay and he an awesome dog, took a few times to get his attention but hes getting there, your tips are awesome, and trying to kick off the old habits off from jumping on the bed is hard but your videos are helping thanks.
I live in Turkey I’m 13 years old and I have a 5 year old mut. Although I live in turkey I would love to work with you in any way possible.you are the best dog trainer so let’s work through the internet if you think it would be good
You are awesome
Youre my hero
Zak I was really hoping that you could do a video on how to train puppies to sleep when you sleep, and how to get them to use toys. It would help sm
Puppies learn to sleep when we do with time. Dogs are very good at learning routine and patterns. Make you bedtime routine consistent where puppy is concerned so he can learn it quickly. Eventually all dogs learn that night time is quiet time and sleepy time - it just takes a while.
To get them to play with toys, take your time, try lots of different toys and textures, all shapes and sizes until you find that toy that puppy loves. Be patient, be kind, be encouraging and stick at it.
Tesla Nick thank you so much! You really helped
I actually have a older dog and we only allow her to get on the couch, she can't get on any beds but we have her to where she's allowed to lay on the couch but not any beds.
At 3:00, what if you can't initially get the dog off the couch? Do you gently pull on the leash/grab the collar? I assume initially "bribing" them off is just going to establish the bad habit of the dog thinking they could just jump off, get the treat, then jump back on?
I love how Otto stares back at the camera..
I don't have a problem with my dog being on the couch but he just can't have that luxury right now untill he develops listening skills because we have to work on our leadership relationship
I have a Yorkie so I wouldn't mind her on the furniture. But, loved seeing you and your gf live.
Great! But! What about dogs getting on the couch at night when you are sleeping? How would you deal with correcting that behavior. I wake up, go over and say, “get down”, but I don’t know how effective that is. He’s four and obviously his last family let him on the couch, and I know for certain, she said she let him sleep in her bed.
Literally my problem!! I have a red nose pit. He is very smart but every morning i wake up pissed off because im super pregnant and im tired of sweeping the couch because he only gets up there when i leave the house or go to sleep. I never let him up there so he gets off as soon as he hears my bed creak. And i NEVER let him on the couch, he started this when my belly got noticeably big.
How do I make my dog not bark at all? Like there are so many dogs I saw that didn't bark once!
Barking can be a sign of stress. Take your dog on a walk.
If you have leather couches, pets can scratch it up super fast! I need to do this lol
My chihuahua is a super jumper 🙄 I set a little exercise pen by the couch to drop him in there when I’m eating or sleeping or unable to supervise him. He’s still learning the whole potty training (well established habits in 3 yo adopted pets lol)
My dog always and forever be able to sit on the couch because he is my favorite family member
Ok but what a beautiful rug
I have a Weimaraner... they are such awesome dogs. When I first got him I spoiled him tooooo much... so now he’s a year old and I’m looking on way to train him... it’ll be helpful if you could provide some tips for big dogs or older dogs instead of puppies
How can I stop my puppy from scratching me? He digs into my arms, stomach and even paws at my face if I’m at level with him. It really hurts and I find it harder to communicate than biting, he doesn’t really understand that he’s scratching me. Any tips?
Yes! Same!
The fact that he didn't pounce on that chicken!!! I'm so impressed. Good boy Otto!
Good job Otto! He is a beautiful dog!
You are amazing❤
Your videos help me a lot ...
How many treats is too many? Do you reduce meal size?
Can you do a video to prevent jumping on the table and counter without having food on the table. I have an eight yr old cocker spaniel/cavalier and he LOVES food but, he will jump on the side of the table even when there hasn’t been food on the table for hours. he never has understood that when we are constantly saying “GET DOWN” that he should get down. Most of the time we tell him to get down but he does not, we end up pushing him down. It’s really annoying and we need to know how to prevent it from happening with our new chow hound puppy.
I’d like to add to my comment. My dog never went to puppy school and he doesn’t know how to do any of the everyday things you teach on your channel. He will do anything if you have a treat tho
You can use the exact same steps for that issue as in this video. So, when they jump up you lure them off and ask for another behaviour before rewarding.
Hey Zak, I'm just curious how you go about holding treats and how you get them. It seems you keep them in an enclosed fist which you use as a lure and then just pull tidbits from said fist with your opposite hand. But I'm not sure :P
I have an 8 month old golden doodle and whenever we let her into our living room she jumps on the couch but when we go near her on the couch she bites and growls it’s getting really frustrating and we don’t know what to do can anyone help
Just let her on the couch cuz she's a person too.
Maybe try stroking her gently while on the couch. If she bites, do what you usually do when she bites.
It's trying to show you that it has dominance over you.. Slap it in its mutt mouth..it'll get the picture.
Get on the ground roll Around make it seem very appealing to get on the ground lots of praise when on the ground. teaching place and stay should help too!
Ibn Khairuddeen (ابن خير الدين الألباني) facts you master not pet
Heyyy Zak love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watching my dad friend dog for a week she keeps on jumping on me on the couch she a medium size dog. Any tips
Wow ......handsome boy! My boy is gorgeous too but he's a small hero. I love the colour of your harness I looked around found list of colours but not this beautiful(turquoise see blue) I wish if I could have asked you? Otto you are smart boy a quick learner, weldon!
amazing... just got a new sofa, and trying to keep my Berners off... let the training begin
My dog's default is a play dead
Same! My dog goes boneless on me
hey ,if anyone else wants to discover how to train a puppy try Loctavan Quick Puppy Strategy (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
Is it dead?
My dog gets on the dining table when he is alone, when I get home there is hair on top of it, table and sometimes I catch him sleeping on it also
Great video, thank you. What if couch is okay for our dog to sit, but the leather chair is not?? Or is it off all furniture?
Thank you!!!! Also... what kind of treats are you using?
....what if the treats are REFRIGERATED?!?!😂😂😂
Room temperature lol
"Hi
I want a pet but I have never experienced pet . should beagle is the right pet for first owner. female is better. What home work should done before getting home. Please help me ."
How many hour for daily exercise required?
Beagle's are not easy to train at all and could be too challenging for a new owner. Why not try a Cocker Spaniel or Cocker Poo ? Males are (in general) better - more laid back and just lower maintenance.
Nah,beagle is not good for a first time dog owner, it is not very trainable :/
The chicken looks tasty LOL. thanks for the tips
Hi i had adopted a dog and she is a chug. I named her Daisy. She really has a bad habit on peeing on my furniture when we are gone and asleep. She doesn't let me know when she needs to go. I was wondering what can i do?
I mean, do I literally have to carry treats at all times with me to do this? my husky is super smart and she will sometimes jump on the couch just so I can command her to get "off" the couch and give her a treat.
Great video! Getting a puppy soon and will have to train my family and the dog about the leather couch :) Hopefully chicken treats work for my kids too. Proactive anticipation! Loved how you showed the redirect.
Greg Stafford what kind of puppy are you getting Greg?
Buddy The Borador - We are getting an Aussie Shep primarily with a mix of ...stuff? :D
Did Otto get the chiken in the end or some of it..lol. Great Video Zak...loved it
I have a 2 year old lab and he loves being on the couch and my bed. How do I get my dog to not jump on my furniture when guests are over? How do I get my dog to not jump on other people’s furniture when we go over?
props to the editor.
4:46
What are your thoughts on using a device like a scat mat to keep pets off or away from things.
great video! will this work when unsupervised?
My Weimaraner is the same. She thinks she’s a lap dog, they love attention from their owner. Hes a good looking Weimy, big boy
can you make a video on how to teach your dog to play nicely with other dogs?
First make sure you understand what playing nicely means. Some people may think dogs are viciously fighting when they are in fact playing nicely dog style. Play fighting is natural for dogs, especially puppies. Serious biting or a stronger dog bullying a weaker one is on the other hand not nice and needs to be stopped.
curlyfryx you should get one I got a new dog
I have a Weimaraner too but he’s only 3 months old
Mines mixed with sharpei, 4-5 months old. How's the play biting going?? Haha.
Plz suggest good treat for trainning a dog .my dog is 3year old and he is a street dog .he like chiken treats.so plz suggest
I have a dog who will work for carrots, butternut squash, popcorn, sausage, cheese, peanut butter, kibble, liver cake.
My 8-9 week old Havanese is doing well but for some reason is desperate to get on the sofa! How do I train her (before she can even jump high enough) that she shouldn't be jumping at all?
About to buy a pet fence with shock collar and put it under the couch cushions. Will comment here later to let y'all know how it works.
How do we stop counter surfing. We try and make sure our counters are yummy free but there are occasions when we forget. Could you please do a video.
RCdiy he already did scroll down on his videos
I like my dogs on my couch but I don't like them playing (jumping onto and over) my couches. what should I do?
I LOVE YOU ZAK
Thanks!
This has worked on my dog very well, but the problem is every time I have a guest over and they sit on my couch, my dog always tries to jump on them and biting their feet. I try to get her to stop but she just does not listen. Does anyone know what I can do?
I`am going to get a dog next year and just love watching your videos in preperation for that❤️ but I was wondering, I would love to cuddle with my dog on the couch or bed but not anitially have him/her thinking that thats ok then I`am not around and which areas thats ok when permitted,but she/he knows which areas thats his/hers 😊🤔
Love Weimis ! ❤️
I have a five year old black lab. She doesn't listen to me when she goes off leash, and now that winter is coming and the water is freezing I'm afraid if I let her off she'll fall in like she has before. She acts like she's a pup, and loves everything. She is also very obedient. Stay. Sit. Lay down. Stop. Heel. Come (To an extent). She'll even stop mid run for me. It's just when we get out in the park she bolts. Plays with the other dogs for 10 minutes then goes off and pretends we're not her owner. She's run into the road multiple times and I'm worried she'll get hit by a car. Any tips. P.s Shes been to puppy school and has had a dog trainer do one on one (with us)
Doragon don’t let your dog off leash unless they have a reliable recall. You are right they could get seriously hurt or worse. Until your dog is 100% reliable use a long line (20+ ft leash). Work every day on recall. Start easy in a place you know they will come then add distractions and distance while still using a long leash. Later you can practice in fenced areas dragging a leash (no dogs at first). The final test is throwing their favorite toy and while they are running after it tell them to come. They should stop, ignore the toy, and come to you instead. You can also use another dog as the final distraction too. Until they can do that it is not safe to let them be off leash. I know it’s hard to resist letting them run free, but it’s not worth the risk of losing your pet forever 😢
So you're almost there. She's responsible enough to be "at liberty" except when other dogs are involved. In which case you need to keep her on a leash or training line until she proves she can handle that level of freedom. I like to graduate dogs from a 6ft lead, to a 15ft line and then onto a 30ft line so the dog gets a sense of progressing.
You may also find it useful to change the cue word from "come" to something else; "here" if she's habitually ignoring "come". If it's just during those very high arousal times she ignores it, she's probably tuned out anyway and we're simply vapor to her !
Keep doing what you're doing whilst remembering to keep increasing the "three D's". (D)istance, (D)uration and (D)istraction whilst restricting her freedom until she can handle it.
So here’s the thing, I have three dogs and I’m getting a new bed but would prefer to keep it dog hair free ... I will be trying this method but my issue is: 1 dog alone - listens, 2or more dogs together - never listen! Lol
I assume I can teach each dog separately but the moment all three are in the room I fear my command won’t work.
Thanks for this video . I was in search of this .
My dog knows his not to be on the couch and he doesn’t lay on the couch while he knows his in sight or that I am moving around the house . The problem is he will lay on the couch when we are at work and at night. Any suggestions? He brings dirt and hair onto the couch and I would like him to stay off completely
I wouldn't have that problem because I would have a 5 star dog house outside.
How do you teach your dog to not dig on your furniture while your sleeping in your room? Its the only time she does it! Its very frustrating. I have to keep blankets on my new couch and now those are starting to have holes too. Im stuck and dont knkw what to do
he's such a good boy
I just got a dog yesterday and he seems to have a fear of bathrooms(?) well I did try to bathe him yesterday in a small pool and I think that was the cause. How should I release that fear off him?? He’s a 2 month old miniature schnauzer named Benji
Such a beautiful dog 🥰❤️😭
This looks great....except I first need to teach my dog to sit! I want her to stop jumping on the couch now without having to teach her to sit first. btw, she's an 8yo rescue. Also, what treat are you using?
how do i allow my dog to sit with me on the couch at night but don’t want her jumping on the crunch whenever she wants? am i asking too much or is it okay to keep her off the couch except when i want her on my lap? thanks and I love your videos
