Zeus is one wild German Shepherd! This is Zeus’ first training session where he will introduced to the concept of walking WITHOUT Pulling, Making matters more challenging we’ll do it without exercising him first. Naturally, I’ll show you how to teach this without having to use any special collars. Lots of you love seeing how to work with dogs in a real world setting when cats, dogs, people and EVERYTHING else seem to distract your dog and keep them from learning.
I hope you guys enjoy! Here's a playlist that will show you how to teach your dog the basics in order: th-cam.com/play/PLMssKIjsDxXmMGypWsr8u-yGOUSoPoozb.html Thanks for subscribing!
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution thank you for the tips i might get a germensheperd dog and the dog name zeus i was thinking to name my germensheperd that hefore watching your video
I wish you could fly to St.John's to teach my energetic girl. She's part German, part husky. Having major trouble with the leash. Not helping that the first snowfall has occurred and she will not settle down. I've had successful walks with mild pulling , however I live in a neighbourhood with lots of animals and children. Today was by far our worst day and I could not distract her and the pulling was at max power. It would be a miracle if someone helped me with this 9 month old, super cheeky, smart, and powerful girl.
Hi Zak, I have a morky that is 2 years old but continues pee anytime she gets excited. How can I get this under control because she literally pees everywhere when she’s excited. PLEASE HELP! 😕
Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution nice one my German Shepard is wild on a lead will try some of ur tips tks dude
Zak, question. We were taught by a professional dog trainer (about 10 years ago), that play tug is bad because it teaches a dog to be aggressive (we had a Golden Retriever). What are your thoughts on this? It looks like you play tug with dogs...and it looks like you know what you are doing...so I just wanted to know since we are getting a new puppy soon.
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
3:14 the dramatic cat had me lmaoing
laughing your ass offing
Lmaoo
Lol 😂
Great work! The best tutorials are ones like these where you see THE REAL DEAL. Real dogs, not pre trained dogs.. showing mistakes rather than cutting them out and only showing the good only makes it harder for people to learn. Great job Zak..
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article th-cam.com/users/postUgkxibD_L3sDyYENL5CwePCd9plRBqjzw2mw At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is a good stuff.
my big dog border collie x kelpie walks on a leash amazingly well
he will walk with or without the leash beside you. All i did with him was walk and when he pulled i stopped then wait until he was calm before we begin walking again, i never pulled back on him, i would simply stop then continue when his calm and focus on me with that alone i managed to have him walking beside me nice and calm which led him to stop pulling
Thanks for the advise
It really is that simple for most dogs...
Rosalina Pabon but how does that teach it to walk besife you
Rosalina Pabon Bingo! When you pull back on the leash every time the dog pulls, they think that is what they are supposed to do. When they start to pull, immediately stop and tell them No. It will teach the dog that pulling will not get them to where they want to go any faster. I train all breeds and personalities. Each dog is different, but this technique is always successful when patience and consistency is demonstrated.
ELLA BELLA STYLES when i walked him i walked him with a short lease most of the time and when he gets too far ahead of me or to far behind me i would stop then only continue when he was beside me in doing just that with him 3 times a week did wonders, there was not a moment that he walked behind me or far ahead of me after a while of doing it, it just takes patience and constantly doing it
Wow, you're a great instructor for the owners and dogs.
+Maxena Megalabrainiac Thank you!
thanks so much for this help. I need it so much for my pulling beagle
My little Zeus did great that day. Lol and he has been doing great ever since. Now if only I could get him from chewing up anything with stuffing in it. I swear he is going to turn into a stuffed animal one of this days. Lol thanks again Zak and Bree
Hey Raven! So glad you enjoyed the video! Supervision is key with this, and daily fetch will almost eliminate all of this!
raven how did you manage to contact him to help you with your dog ?
My dog does the same thing he’s 9 months German Shepherd, I feel embarrassed when we go out and he does this! 😭
Does he manage to pull you
my aussi does too 🥴
My dog used to do that aswell I trained her on a harness by giving her treats every time she walked by my side without running ahead. Try making the leash shorter so he'd be closer to you and every time he walks at your pace give him a treat and tell him good boy. It worked on mine. Also try walking him/her at night at first. Less distractions. Hope I helped.
I have the same problem with my 9 month old German Shepherd, it's a common problem I know, but he's already much bigger than every other German Shepherd I've seen and it looks very threatening D: >
My ten month old newf literally drags me when he catches a whiff.. it’s horribly embarrassing!
Love this! Thanks for not advocating pain to train a dog!
Redirecting is awesome. Most people think redirecting doesn't work but you proved it does! :)
Maya Rego yea sure it worked... if you’re fine with bouncing around in front of your dog on a walk instead of actually just walking your dog. This guy is a joke
Gotta say your methods of really insisting no force necessary is nothing short of inspiring. Thank you for doing these. Right now trying to deal with a 12 week old black lab and right now she thinks she's in charge. Working on that, and hopefully this will help for walks.
I just found your videos this morning!!! Thank you!! We are training a husky puppy & already I know your training is going to come in handy. So appreciative!
Just wanted to give some credit for this awesome channel and keep up the great work. This channel is just awesome! :)
I love this kind compliment! Thank you that means a lot.
My dog walks perfect on the leash. My dad trained her as she's a family dog and we got her when I was younger. She's a golden retriever and I believe my dad did it my just walking her on a short leash and just telling her to heel over and over again when she was pulling ahead. He would say heel with a decent tug to get her to stop running ahead and eventually she responded to heel and now walks right beside me and stops whenever I stop. When she's not on the leash she runs ahead with is perfectly fine but whenever I say heel she comes right back and walks behind me without a leash. Don't know what else my dad did to train her but it worked!
Reminds me of my dad. My parents had a perfectly behaved dog even though I am 100% sure they never researched anything about dog training. However, my dad is very structured, disciplined and patient and is almost relentlessly strict in the sense that he never lets anything slide. My hypothesis is that their dog had never gotten away with anything. Regardless of how much it tried (to pull on the leash for example). I can just see my dad standing there 11PM in the cold and dark not moving an inch until the dog did what he was asked in the same calm voice over and over and over XD.
I just went on a walk with my 1 1/2 year old dog. And I was about to cry with defeat. I came inside and looked up some tips online and came across this video! I’ve tried so many tips with training and none have worked. After I watched this I took her on a walk around my block and DID EXACTLY what you showed in the video. It went so well! And she had fun and wasn’t wheezing or upset from me being frustrated! I can’t wait to try this again tomorrow night! Thank you thank you thank you!
I’ve been watching so many videos on leash training and this is the only practical one I’ve found
very helpful, i think the only thing you should have added at the end is that when you attempt the exact same thing tomorrow it will be as if they have never even attempted that style of training before haha, so much patience required
I would like to see a similar video with a shy puppy that gets nervous around all those distractions. If you teach to create distance when they act scared and pull awwy from the barking dog or distraction, wouldn't that be rewarding the puppies fear? There's a 4th reason why they pull and it's "fear". Great video! Keep up the amazing training tips.
I would like to see this too my dog is real nervous abs shy around other dogs
This is a completely different issue and is handled VERY differently. I'm sure I will be making this video when I come across a dog with this issue! Very nice suggestion!
Zak
Zak, I think I have the dog for you... This girl of mine is pretty good on a leash, but she is VERY reactive when a stranger comes up to her. She backs away and barks, and if the person insists on coming closer, she makes a fake lunge at them. She has a tendency to scare people with her actions, which only scares her in return, making the situation worse.
I've tried having people come up with treats for her, but this isn't seeming to alleviate her fears with strangers. She does ok when I can get the person to come up quietly and let HER come to them, but most people "push" to get too close too quickly.
Something in her past scared her of humans, lack of socializing is my guess, and I really need to get her over this as she is in training to be my service dog.
With dogs, she's the opposite, she wants to play with them.
WayaSnowpaw My 17 week old is similar. She just found her voice about 10 days ago and WOW does she use it. She will go at a threat full barking so I shush her to break her attention and she calms down a little as I walk towards the threat. It could be a person or a rolling plastic bag. Once A lead her to the threat she's fine. It's fear barking that I need to stop. When i lead, she's still scared but follows knowing I'm going to protect her. The only problem as you stated is if the approaching person locks up, gives eye contact and acts scared, she will sniff and back off. She's all bark and no bite right now. If I don't nip this in the but it will turn into real aggression. She starts puppy class tonight. I hope she acts normal away from her area. I can only wish. I got her 28 days ago. My Vet said to wait for puppy classes and dog places until her final vacinations since parvo is bad this year down here in south florida. Good luck.
WayaSnowpaw Your dog is what is called "weak nerves". The dog seeks to push away the source of fear, with a fake "lunge" at the "bad guy" hoping that this is what pushes away the stranger. If however, the stranger keeps pushing toward the dog, and not away from the dog, the dog will go into full avoidance, and run, if given a choice. if they are in a leash and can't run, then they can't do avoidance, so they will push into defense drive and try to back away the "bad guy" with a bite. This sounds like a potential fear biter. This dog needs a soft hand, not corrections, and you need to socialize, socialize, socialize. Try to make friendly strangers give small pieces of hot dog to the dog, so that when a stranger is met, it's a positive event with some food. Good luck
I not only love the way you handle a dog, I also so admire your interaction and respect for the doggie owner.
love your training vids Zach! very helpful!
Wow...
I've been really sad after snowie passed away...and I've been watching lot of Dog and Pup Videos... but your videos have been really inspiring and convinced me to get a new member in the family.
Thanks Zak... Keep up the great work.
I've learned so much from watching your videos. After 8 years of begging I finally convinced my parents to get a dog. From everything I have learned from you, I decided that getting one in the summer is the best idea. This way I have 4 months of straight training, and the dog will be kinda used to us by then. I made the hardest decision when my parents asked if I wanted them to get a dog on Wednesday. Of course I had to say no, even tho I wanted one SOO bad.
How did it go with your dog?
Yee, how did it go?
Love the vids Zak. Keep em comin!
This video is SO AMAZING Zak. My dog does this all the time. I ran across one of your videos. I like you skills and Ive subscribed and now watching ALL your videos!!
5:40 tongue out.. cutest scene hahaha
no my dog sniffs everything ._. like everything it's like we don't walk we just go for a sniff session no drugs are attended Ahaha
let him sniff man. Dogs need that kind of relaxation. no pun intended.
Mine is the same I end up dragging her for most of the walk.
That means They are searching for partners , they smell the poo poo n pee pee of other dogs and pee over it to put a mark to let know that i am here available , and some times to let other dogs that thats their area dont come here, it sounds funny bt thats it i guess. And I’m 2yrs late to reply this comment 🤷♀️
Saul Silva
When dog’s do that it means your dog is seeking out a prey animal, it’s smells a bird and a dead animal of some sort.
Is your dog a breed that is meant for hunting and or hurding...?
Same! And he pulls
Great vid zak i find yours the most helpful and enjoyable dog training vids! Im avoiding some mistakes i made with my first pup this time around....thanks! My arm thanks you too.
Thank you Zak. This video brought it home for me and my 3 months old labradoodle Coal. I tried it and it worked great. Now we need lots of practice.
I'd be interested in seeing one of Zak's dogs. I would really like to see how a Zak George trained dog acts with other dogs and people.
Great tips!
Thanks Petco!
***** It's Petco. They have a check mark by their name to symbolize that they are official.
Zak George
You seem to have many videos on this same topic to "stop pulling on the leash". Are they a continuation of one another? Should we view them in a certain order? Thanks.
Great Video! Just recently started following your videos and I've loved them all. I really like how energetic you are and how much you emphasize exercise. I've learned while working with my two pit bulls if I am energetic and excited with them while training they are much more responsive.
My mini schnauzer like to pull a lot! I will try it starting tomorrow. Thank you and keep up the good job! :)
ahh, I don't even know what i would do without petflow.
I having a husky who always likes to be in front I know this is what they were bred for but just for once I would like a relaxed walk.
THANK YOU!! I have a border collie pup and this worked on him so well we went to the park and everybody was all over him petting him asking to take him on walks around the park
I really liked this video. A lot of the things I've learned kind of came together with the tips in the beginning. I have a 5mo mini schnauzer that is a puller. Gave me some new ideas for training. Thanks, Zak!
Great video!!! How often and how long should the training sessions be? I think it's me who needs to be more disciplined, not my dog :)
I'm in love with your charisma omg, if only I had the same amount of enthusiasm haha; I'm more of the quiet and stern type. Need to work on that, guess it'll be training for both of us. I have a three year old Doberman and he is such a sweetheart but due to my schedule around work I haven't had too much time to walk him and work on proper leash walking etiquette. I started working from home now and have so much more time for my dobe, he demands a lot of attention and affection and playtime. People are intimidated and scared by his loud barks and size; he has never bit anyone and though he does jump up at times, he is just overly excited and energetic. I'm starting training again and just ordered a cage muzzle for more peace of mind. He has shown a bit of aggression towards other dogs but never humans or cats (we have a cat at home who is the king of the house.) I subscribed and will apply your methods, thank you so much; will donate sometime in the near future.
If only I'd discovered your videos when I got my dog 4 years ago! I so appreciate your focus on learning how to communicate with dogs. I spent the better part of the first 2 years rehabilitating mine. Although she's not a puppy anymore and is very well behaved with a great ability to do other miscellaneous "advanced" skills, I've struggled to communicate with her exactly what I want in other basic departments (particularly with loose-leash walking). She would do anything if were I able to effectively communicate what it is that I want from her; hopefully these videos will help us continue building our bond and polish off the fine points of her training!
Thank you for the video I just started watching my friend's young black lab and he's overwhelmingly hard to walk but you have good tips!! I will give them a try. Thank you so much
@Eric Stockton, there is no proper way to use a pinch collar.
-Zak George
Says the guy who is letting the dog hurt and self correct himself on a buckle collar. A prong when used correctly would be much less traumatic....
Ilovemypetrats1 I actually believe in pinch collars and even I can see the dog isn't being hurt
Aria Booth Doesn't mean it isn't traumatic to be so reactive and stressed out... Just because the buckle collar isn't doing immediate physical damage doesn't mean the ineffective training isn't traumatic.
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution how about this kind of video but with a hound type of puppy? I have a beagel and His nose is always down and I have a hard time with that.
Ilovemypetrats1 you're just pathetic….
My dog walks perfectly on the leash until there are any other dogs or any distraction but this video really helped me I use her favorite toy and now I am more interesting than other distractions...Thank u soo much :)
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
:)... but I just have one big problem and that is a little dog aggresion.. My dog is 7 months old and I think she learned this behavior from her brother Zoobie who is 4 yrs old he barks at dogs but never attacks them he is very playful with them but Zoie learned barking at dogs and it escalated into aggresion. . Pls upload a video on this.. I would never like to use prong collars or any other collars accept the nylon collars I hope u make a video on this...
HBK Mania Have you ever "corrected" (as in like a leash pop, etc.) your dog when she started barking at the other dogs?
HBK Mania purely positive methods are fine for obedience work. However, there is obedience, such as "sit" , "down", "come" and there's rank and issues of what is proper and acceptable behavior and not-acceptable behavior. You as the pack leader must establish what you consider acceptable and un-acceptable behavior.
In the dog world that there are no equals within a group of dogs. Every social group will have it's own pecking order. Lower ranking members always defer to higher ranking members. If the group doesn't have a clear leader one member will always step forward become the leader even if it's not genetically predisposed to leadership
Rank is almost always communicated through subtle behaviors that each members of the pack understands and respects. Over time leaders will always establish their own set of rules that all members of the pack are expected to live by. There are well understood consequences for breaking rules.
Dog owners can and must learn to become leaders. . They need to think about establishing their own set of rules that their dog is expected to live by. If what your dog is doing is not-acceptable to you, you need correction based training. There is room for both a positive based approach, with correction based approach. You need a balanced approach. You're not being cruel in using a prong collar to give a leash correction.You are being a clear leader. There's obedience training and there's "rules" of the house training. You need both.
Interesting stuff Finally somebody who got the basics down!!!. Another important concept is, people STOP humanizing your dogs!!! Real simple treat them like dogs, and that doesn't mean to be cruel or that you don't love them, it only means that since they're from a different species they process everything differently. YOU WANT A HAPPY DOG, TREAT IT LIKE A DOG.
Simple, informative and understandable! I am gonna try this to my lab and goldie
I will go and try this with my dog. Thanks for making videos!
Hi Zak, My mom and I just got a 4yr old rescue dog in late June. We've been following a lot of your tips for leash training and one problem we've been having is that she doesn't have any interest in toys. At this point, we use deli turkey for currency, but I feel like fetch or tug of war would be so great for bonding and currency for her. Is there a way to teach a dog with absolutely no interest in toys (whether it's a ball, or a squeaky toy, or a rope) to enjoy them and eventually play fetch? Or is it something that is just a part of her personality and won't change?
5:41 AWWWWWWW
Yep! Cracks me up SOOO much when CATS do that 🤣🤣🤣 "Honey.... your witto tonguey..."
This video sure did open my eyes, to leash training! Thank you! Also, your clicker video also looks helpful and on my way home from work today, I'm stopping to pick one up! I've got both a Corgi who is almost 5 months old and she is learning fine, since we've had her for a few months but we also have an English Springer Spaniel, who is the same age, that we have had for only a few weeks and it's like night and day! Wow! The Energy! We also have a 4 year old Corgi and she's fine but can still use a little leash and barking training!
Very Informative! A video every dog owner should watch!
Omg please train my dog :( I'm going to try this! Thank you so much for your videos. Do you have a video specifically about dog on dog aggression?
+Alicia Morrow Oh yeah, do a Dog whisperer style video, but with Zak's way instead of Cesar. So people would be able to have alternative way.
+Alicia Morrow dogs need to be trained yes, but so does the owner
Mark Peterson wasn't saying they don't.
It depends what's causing the aggression. You don't treat the aggression, you treat the cause. What things cause him to act aggressively ? If I can help, I will.
Yes PLEASE!!! Like a sweet dog growling when he thinks someone might take something away or something. It's my biggest issue with my lil guy. Haven't seen alot about that.
So I have to jump around like a court jester in front of my neighbors to train my dog?
Yes
Zak, you show that it takes effort to train. Lots of viewers want easy techniques, add water and mix. Thank you.
These videos are super awesome, I'm enjoying watching these as I prepare to bring a very high energy and excited 10 month Husky into my Household. can't wait to try all these things with her!
When the dog was chewing her shoelaces in the intro😂
7:54 '''Hi Mom!''
I have a 5 month old beautiful GS and he pulls and this was a great learning video. I’ll be trying this later! Thx
Perfect timing for my young, boisterous kelpie cross. Great tips we'll be trying out today before our walk. Thank you
Why doesn't petflow ship to Canada? Shipping to Vancouver is not much further than shipping to Bellingham. Shipping to Detroit is pretty much the same distance as shipping to Windsor.
Ship to Canada!! You will get a lot more customers!
I'm going to work with my husband first .. the getting/keeping attention before I try it on the dog.. ;'-)
The savagery 😂
Ha ha ha LOL I’m seeing this four years after your comment. I’m wondering if it ever worked on your husband 😂
Just got ur book online zack, cant wait to download and read it!!!
Very well made, informative and the presenter is great. I wish you every success
can I do this with my 3 month old gsd puppy? or do I need to teach her to sit and stuff first
Get your puppies in good walking habits from the beginning and you won't encounter any issues later on. I believe all training should be approached this way too, including "sit, and all that other stuff".
nooooooo
Yes!
This looks exhausting lol! What if your dog is too strong and never lets go of the toy?
The ideal way to work with a dog like this is to play fetch ahead of time so that their energy is expended. Once their energy is out, they can absorb new concepts like walking slowly next to a person while tethered to a leash. If your dog doesn't know how to play fetch, this should be the priority over the next 2-12 weeks. I have a fantastic video on teaching your dog the perfect fetch and how to deal with the most common roadblocks that many encounter. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
-Zak
sabby559 It definitely is, but the work really REALLY pays off. My dog is getting much more obedient and I can walk him and run with him without problems. Now I'm trying to train him off leash so I can openly play fetch with him at the park :) but it's definitely difficult!
Use a treat.
Fantastic video on leash training. We are dog sitting for my daughter and it has the exact same issue. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow and the next 2 weeks while we have him. Again, thanks.
OMG!! First try was amazing!!! Not so easy on older dogs, but the puppy went for it!!!! I was even able to chat with my neighbor without them going nuts!! BLESS YOU!!!
My dog is fine on leash except when another dog is coming, often he launches at them to greet them but the way he does it the other dogs feel intimidated by the approach and he gives a good pull on my arm when I'm not paying full attention since I don't expect it.
I have been trying to correct this for a long time without success. I feel like with treats I had the most success, I tried this method for few weeks but as soon as I don't give him treats for a couple of days he reverts back quickly. I exercise him daily, he gets 3-4 walks and the first one in the morning is to play fetch for about 30 minutes and drain his energy, but at night he's again misbehaving.
Any ideas?
My German shepherd does great with walks. The prong collar is great tool. He learned FAST!
A prong collar is a tool designed to discourage your dog from pulling, yes. However, a prong collar is a shallow way to teach a dog long-term moving forward.
I respect your opinion. But can you truly train a police dog or a shutzhund dog with all positive training?
Ricardo Galindo Yes, yes you definitely can.
agentfluffy14
Please share with me where ALL positive shutzhund training so that I can learn. Also, what police department you know of that trains ALL positive?
Ricardo Galindo Look, I don't know which police department trains dogs all positive. I never said I knew a police department that does it. But what I do know is that basically all happy healthy dogs think everything is a game. Training can be thought of as a game for them. There is no difference between a police dog and an ordinary house dog. It just depends in the levels of training. Positive reinforcement helps the dog in the long run. It creates a better bond between person and dog. It's more humane too. Dogs are smart beings. Don't degrade their intelligence for your lack of patience.
Omg!! I'm going to try this. This video explains my dog Diesel so much.
I just tried this on my bouncy 1 year old Cockapoo and unbelievably it worked! I'm so glad there is something that works that is also kind to the dog! I'm definitely going to be continuing with this technique. Thanks 👌
Imagine trying to take your dg for a walk and constantly having to jump around like a clown pacing back and forth every 10 meters. If you simply make a sharp noise and touch the tog in way that doesnt hurt just snaps him/her out of it if any pullin. jumping , exciteable behavior occurred, assert yourself and wait before the dog is calm sitting again before the walk continues. Obviously treating good walking all the time.
You don't have to do it constantly, only when you're training it - literally a few sessions. Why scare your dog with a sharp noise, how is that young to effect his trust and bond with you?
3:14 the cat was like why they fuck do you have me on tv. I HATE CATS
+Trey Ezernack Why do you hate cats?
David Moore piss on everything, hiss at you, act like there on drugs or something, shed hair everywhere, and always breaking shit when they climb on everything ETC
Trey Ezernack THANK YOU i fucking hate cats soooooo much!!!
To be honest, dogs can do all of these things and worse too. But, dogs are trainable. So I think the reason you hate cats is that they are not very trainable, and they do what THEY want. ;) Their owners are just food dispensers and they have very little care for them, while a dog's owner is their pack leader and means so much more.
I vote for dogs!
dogs are baee, i have a german shephard and he legitemately defends me!!!!!!
Aw, Zeus is adorable. God bless him. This video taught me a lot. Thanks!
I watch my son's dog for him through the week, Dexter is a malti-poo. High, high, energy, I am 62 with spine issues, I really want to Thank you for helping me with Dex. He is three now, and Billy, my son, got him when he was 12 weeks old. Three lbs of cuteness, now still cute but has separation anxiety BAD, with me going home, with his Dad's at home coming here, he seems happy when all of us are together. Anyway, he barks constantly for attention, leash pulls, I have been using your techniques for training him, hard because it is late in the game but still slowly working. Thank you, thank you. 💕👍🏻
sorry but I dont like "creating distance" as you call it because if there is any fear in the dog that is barking then you taking it away means it feels like its fear was justified because your fleeing.
+Leoni Jorna That`s not how it works. When you retreat, you`re teaching the dog that flight is an acceptable reaction to fear (rather than fight). Flight is preferable, and that distance then gives you the opportunity to reapproach while counter conditioning to get rid of the fear.
If you don`t retreat, what you`re doing is called flooding, which doesn`t get rid of the fear. It suppresses it temporarily, but it usually resurfaces more intensely the next time the trigger is presented.
Bark and I'll reward you with a tug! I see a "what the heck is going on" expression on the dog's face and I really don't blame him. Not even including methods with physical corrections, there are much better methods that teach the dog more clearly what the desired behavior is than this amateur hour stuff.
How would you do it?
I have a ten month old shepherd and they are so full of energy, i take him to a positive training dog class once a week and it is so good! We use the clicker alot! I love your videos zac!!!
started using some of these techniques on my dog. small success (short attention span) but hes a 6month old boxer/lab mix. so a high energy dog. he sits well and i can make certain sounds to keep his attention. im rewarding the small victories! i have no doubt that he will continue to progress. thank you for the videos!!!
unless you plan to jump around like a moron while walking your dog your advice will never work all your doing is making the dog more excited and when the dog is excited its not going to follow you also the dog should never be leading the walker that puts the dog in a protective mode and could lead to trouble all you effectively did in my opinion is teach the dog to jump at at toys and try to sell me something
DisturbedDH Zak said to play tug of war BEFORE training. He also advised not to try to teach this while on your regular walk, but to have training sessions prior to walking. Those sessions are where you use a lot of body motion to get the dog to focus on you so that he isn't distracted by other things. And remember it takes a lot of repetition to develop a habit.
DisturbedDH maybe finish the video first before you comment
totally agree, this method wouldnt work on my dog, unless i make my dog tired but that takes about 24 hours before getting tired
forget all this.just simply pull your dog back so hard,all four legs leave the ground
pratyush shukla i'm worried.are you a proffessional dog trainer?
pratyush shukla
you,whatever you are,have the intelligence of a grain of sugar
all these people taking your comment seriously
jamie8520 i know,what a sad bunch. finally someone with a sense of humour.cheers mate
Wow you really don´t know how to handle a dog....
Thanks for this video Zak. This is exactly what my lab do when I walk him on leash.
I just got a 20 month German shepherd he pulls like crazy so this video has really helped me lots! Thanks. Will try this technique with him 👍
No way this woman will do this energetic training... just saying..
Nice tips though!
this guy is a joke..very few things I agree with. Obviously doesn't understand the nature of the dog or the psychology of the dog.
I follow him and my dog is 7 months..he is turning out amazing and I have never trained any dog.
It seems like he knows what he is doing to me - he loves dogs and does a great job and is realistic ("it could take weeks or months of training to get them to do this consistently") ... No reason for put downs - if you don't like him better if you don't watch ...
Very excited to try these tips with my girl!
I really enjoyed this, thank you for all the helpful tips. I have a German Shepherd with the EXACT same issue and treats, yanking on the leash, other forms of distraction haven't worked at all. I'm definitely going to give this a try.
WOW this was amazing for me! I'm going to have to try this with my GS !!!
Thank you for the training reminders with my very challenging rescue GSD - more hard work than my first that died young from a heart condition. Good training tips!!
Really great video. This will help me a lot with my doggy. Thank you!
Were about to get a Labradoodle puppy and your videos are perfect for us.
You are awesome, Zak. Nice work.
Brilliant! Zak, if you ever publish a book on training dogs, I'm definitely gonna get me a copy.
That was fantastic. Have a german shepherd that looks just like Zeus and that is as excited as he is. Great stuff.
i cant wait to try this!! thanks zak!
Good stuff Zak! I will try this with patience 😜!
George, your teaching is awesome.....
Good stuff! So many people can benefit. Good channel!
Thanks Zac. I'll try this today.
this helps soooooo much keep making more!
I love your videos and energy . Bravo
I have two 4 months pitbulls and they bark at everything and always pull. They have so much energy. I am definitely going to try this as well. Maybe my puppies are too young but they are very energetic.
superb advice and training, thanks so much !
