Can we just appreciate how adorable it is that Inertia's ears bounce when she's walking?
Yes, I have a breed with similar ears (Mini American Shepherd) and I love how cute his ears are when they bounce while on the move. 😆
My two Aussies have those adorable floppy ears. It’s even better when they run. 😂
Yes
Cute observation 🥰
Literally 😍
Can't argue at all, these are the BEST dog training series videos and trainer ever. Realistic, humane, positive, authentic, and the bits of advice along the way are freakin gems. Inertia is adorable too. Waiting for a border collie pup this winter but I just absolutely love these videos!
🤣🤣🤣
He didn't show anything. How does he expect someone to continue coming back if this is the video people come across?
My dogs used to drag me around - but it was easy to train them not to. If they put any tension on the leash at all I’d just stop - and not say or do anything at all. Eventually they’d get bored and relax. As soon as they did and the tension on the leash relaxed I’d say “let’s go.” It didn’t take them long to figure out that if they wanted to keep exploring they need to make sure to never pull on the leash.
I’ve tried that, but we literally went nowhere because every time we would start walking again, he would start yanking... so we would be in the same area for like 15 minutes 🥴
@@jf9335 You just have to keep perservering unfortunately some are a bit more stubborn than others.
I tried this with my dog, and she’s way too smart for this trick.... she just ends up escaping from the harness
Omg! Mine escapes from the harness if she doesn't like training
@@jf9335us too
Zak has such positive, kind energy towards his dog - love to watch his training methods.
Same
“I didn’t know squirrels could sound like that.” LOL! I just found that out this Summer too😂
She’s so cute!!
IKR
I'm so glad I came across your channel Zak, I've watched hours of your videos now and am ready to collect my American Akita tomorrow. You sir are amazing at what you do. Thank you Zak.
*Great **dogy.training** lots of helpful instructions and ideas without being dictatorial. I like this writer's style a lot and we have found it more helpful than several of the other books that we got to help train our new puppy because of the detail he goes into.*
Another excellent video Zak! Please continue with this series. Along with your books this is an incredible guide for raising/training a pup.
Zak’s approach has changed my whole view of dog training. Calm and understanding of the reasons why a dog may not have success! Love the vids
Enjoying the Alaska series! Zak, could you share more details on traveling with a dog - for instance how do you prep inertia for air travels to Alaska?
Great to see Inertia has come a long way in her leash walking! And very cool that you exercise discretion to give her the freedom of exploring the world along the way, Zak! Oh, and love the new intro, esp. when Inertia barked beautifully on that rock after you said "this, is Inertia!" [Hugs for the beautiful Inertia]
Love this video! Years ago I found your channel and you inspired me to become a dog trainer and make videos 😁
I’m getting a new puppy in 5 weeks and I’m so excited!! But a little nervous. a puppy seemed kind of out of my comfort zone but your videos really helped me figure out where to start! I’m feeling much more confident! Thank you for everything you do!!!
Awww!!! What kind of dog are you getting?
Olivia Faith I’m getting a Dutch shepherd!
Harley Humbert that’s a hell of a first dog... and this guy isn’t the right trainer for anyone. He’s been trying to train his dog to walk nicely on a leash for over a year. If your getting a difficult and intense dog such as that I hope this isn’t your first or forth dog and zak WILL NOT be the right trainer for you. The dog will test you. Show aggression towards food or preassure being put on it. Struggle with aggression towards dogs and strangers... seriously check out mate shoemer
@@harleyhumbert7176 any update ? How is it going
You guys should update your daily routine with Inertia and talk about how it’s changed as she got older!
Yes! Please make a video for older dogs
your channel is such a blessing, thank you so much for your help!
You helped me and my family train our puppy so much! Thanks!
I’ve learned a lot from your channel, and I just got a new puppy and he’s learning fast
I have a new puppy & I enjoy your training videos so much! I’ve been documenting my training journey here on TH-cam & I hope one day he will be as well behaved as you guys get dogs. Thanks for all your content!
Inertia has come so far! Thank you so much for your continued commitment to using positive reinforcement over physical corrections. Your videos have been so helpful to me and my golden retriever puppy 😊
Physical corrections are natrual... that’s the whole point of dog socialization also. How they learn boundaries
Your only problem is it seems like it’s like letting the dog be in charge. You would never let your child be in charge. They would never learn how to respect authority.
@@marlaedington6471you shouldn't hit kids either...I've used positive reinforcement with my dog and he's only 6 months and tbh the only behavior he exhibits that i cannot stand is that he won't walk right next to me on his leash but I've also slacked off on teaching him because it takes forever😩 but he's a good boy and trusts me...instead of fearing me.
When we rescued a puppy and our cousin took her, this was the ONLY video we recommended. They watched all of them. It worked out great!
Awesome tips for walking your dog on leash, it's very important that the leash is not a negative part of the walk. Great video Zak!
I'm getting my rottweiler puppy in 11 days and your videos have helped me so much 💓
Zak, the new Intro, the Alaskan Edition is great. The bark at the end is perfect. She is doing so well in the training!
Also how is she doing with the agility?
I always allow my girl to stop and sniff unless we have somewhere to be in a hurry. She needs to read her pee mail - I think pulling them away from a sniff must be like us being stopped listening to great music, or only hearing halfway through some gossip.
This is so insightful!
This is funny and helpful 😅 thanks!
Pee mail 😂 thats a great way to put it
Thank you Zak for these videos they really help a lot ❤️
These training tricks work so well for my puppy and also zak can you do another leash walking video?
omg this is the perfect video!! my golden retriever puppy paisley is a terrible leash walker!
zak, I love the new intro.
So do I!!!
Inertia is becoming pretty well-behaved! I have a maltese named Angel and she is very curious on walks. However, I am implementing some techniques you've shown and she is getting better!
Hahahha the end with Inertia playing dead cracked me up. LOL! I wasn't expecting to see that!!!
I’m about to get a puppy in 2 weeks and I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. Well let’s hope your videos have trained me enough thus far
This was very helpful. I like the idea of the hybrid walk, I know the walk is for both of us so my dog still can sniff a little bit and still check in. Thank you!!
Really Enjoy watching. We adopted a 6 year old rescue, this is helpful.
Hi I’m might get a American bulldog and Zak has helped me train my other 2 dogs
Who else doesn’t have a dog but watches these videos anyways?
Me
Yep
Me but I’m getting one soon
Me cause I'm getting one soon
me
One routine that has really helped with our walks is every morning we take our dog on a smell walk where she gets to sniff things in the park at a meandering pace. This contrasts with walking to a particular place and helps her focus without stopping to smell everything. She knows the 2nd or 3rd or 4th walk of the day isn't a smell walk.
I don’t have a dog but I’m am planning to get a puppy soon but these videos are really good!!
This works so good
Solid Gold is such a great dog food
This is another great video. I love your positive attitude!
Great video Zak. Your methods have worked so well for our pup. What harness do you use for Inertia?
Loved this video! Very informative
Thanks for posting helpful videos
Thank you for this video 😁
Thanks for all you do
Did you have to go thru Canada to get to Alaska?
Using this video today to help my 1 year old golden... already see that this is going to take a while 🤣
Love the new intro skits! 💜 ur series!!!
I was needing this encouragement for leash training :)
This video is so helpful!! Thank you so much!!!!
Hi zac! Love the channel! I hope when you were driving to alaska through canada, you were being safe and socially distant as to prevent the spread of covid
Thanks again for such a great vlog! SO helpful!
I love that you have a nice and empathetic approach to dog training... This is so much better than some other channels i've seen that encourage basically physically punishing your dog by tugging or even drfiting away from you during walks... Not gonna mention names but i got actually disgusted when i heard "you need to make the dog yelp so they can learn"
Leash walking is definitely quite tough to teach your dog, so, thanks for the video Zak❤️
Actually it’s pretty simple... it’s not rocket science
@@justagirlandherdogs615 Well, it was quite easy for me when I got my first dog but now that I have two little puppies, it's quite hard
Puppy Love I get 3 month old puppies off leash heeling in a week or so. This guy is a trick trainer and has no real skill outside of that
@@justagirlandherdogs615 You might be really talented then, huh! Anyways, I totally respect the guy who has been a dog trainer since 16 years. For not only me but many others, Zak is amazing......
Puppy Love know a guy who has been training for 20 years and can’t train shit and is abusive. So years really mean nothing. It’s skill. I haven’t been training for nearly as long but I have skill.years don’t matter if he can’t back it up so Th proof. He’s been trying to train ONE dog to walk on a leash nicely for about a year now! I only follow him for his trick training
Zak can you please do an episode on using head collars/halters? Especially when on walks.
Hi im very proud of myself because I watched one of your old videos and copied and I was able to train my dog to go in his bed in under 30 seconds 😅
Inertia is so much fun to watch! Have a great time in Alaska. Watch out for porcupines though!!!!! My brother and i were camping and the dogs had gone to do their morning business. Suddenly we heard some barking and thought there might be a bear near by. Poor Yama (Husky) came back to the tent and had quills all over his muzzle. We were hours away from civilization, but we managed to hike and eventually drive to get some cell reception. We drove 5 hours back to Anchorage so he could get them removed.
I love you! I love this channel we just got a new puppy and this series has helped so much
Which breed is it
Thank youuuu!!!!!!!! I wanted to teach my doggo to walk!♡♡♡
Thank you Zak!!!!!! I am probably gonna train him later today! Thanks again!!!!♡♡♡♡
Love the new intro and she’s gotten so much bigger!
Thanks zak
I’m finding your videos really helpfully with the training of my 13 weeks puppy!
This is my 3rd dog, but the first time training him by my self!
What do you think about the gentle leader vs the harnes?
After watching this video I learned that I might have been a little to harsh on my pup. Thank you 🙏
Early! Love your channel!
You’re the best at this!
Thanks man just got my lab puppy you are what helps me train my dog better
You made this much easier
Hi Zak, my dog is a rescue and is around 7 years old. The previous owner seems to have taught him nothing. He has developed issues like resource guarding and tugging on the leash. Can you do a video where you “teach and old dog new tricks” like teaching them to sit and stay, and also how to deal with resource guarding?
Never Miss Your Video
WHERE and how to get the" excess energy out" i walk my dog TO get the energy out. I don't have fields for them to run in.
Best one ever❤️
you right there mister have a beautiful dog
I have never had an issue training a dog on leash until my current puppies who are CRAZEEEE. They won't take treats outside, I can exercise them for hours and it doesn't matter, we're training 3-4 times a day just to get them bored of the neighborhood so they stop pulling. Neither of them is a "walk with a person" breed, but their recall sucks so off leash isn't happening... Even I'm frustrated! Lol
I feel u! My dog also has leash aggression with bigger dogs now. He gets insane. Having a lot of issues
Many dogs does not take treats because they are too excited. Mine does get the treats but she does not care much about them... She wants to always look in front of me and in case that she has to protect me... I did not wanted a bodyguard... But my dog walks way better than inertia.
Joseph Arroyo Zambia cannot help you with leash aggression. He’s better at teaching tricks and basic obedience
Try training at a distance where your dog still eats treats. And sloooowly shorten the distance. Just a tip that worked for us. Good luck! 🐾
@@pihlasdfg few dogs are actually not interested to take a treat, they are more interested to toys or they feel happy when you say good boy and smile. My dog will do anything to make me smile, when she was a pup she would never pick a treat, but when she understanded that taking a treat made me happy, she started to take them to communicate with me, so treats are not always the way to train a dog and for few dogs they are not even important.
Wow nice vid I am getting a dog soon nice info
Your video is making me feel better about my walks with my mini Aussie. I have been using what I learned from your video and my walk looks very similar to how you are with Inertia. My dog is about 2 years old now. I still wonder when my dog will be able to walk like Indie. Will he ever get there ??? Please continue to update on how Inertia is doing with loose leash walking.
Check out kikopups videos for leash walking
I love your vids!
What! You were in Alaska! Dang, I missed a chance to see you in person.
Wow! You have a lot of likes and barley have dislikes! keep up the good work!!!! ^^
i almost called my dog Inertia thanks for the videos very helpful 👍
Now I gotta keep an eye out for Zak in Alaska to help me with my puppy 👀
I appreciate your advice and comments on harnesses. Do you have a harness that you prefer?
And this training concept works with small toy breed dogs as well. Thanks!!
This training concept doesn’t work at all...
Hey Zak! What kind of harness is Inertia wearing in this video? Our pups dislike too many points of contact and that harness looks effective, while maximizing the dogs ability to move.
that is such a good pup and beautiful
Could you do some puppy haul videos i find those super interesting
Hi Zak! I'm bringing my new puppy home in a few weeks and have been watching your videos in preparation! I've read a lot about the merits of fresh cooked food deliveries like Ollie or Farmer's Dog and their nutritional superiority to kibble, so I was just about ready to sign up for one of those services, but saw you recommend puppy-specific kibble which took my by surprise. Do you believe a commercial puppy kibble is better than a service like Ollie that uses very high quality & clean ingredients, and tailors the portions they send you to the age of your pup? I could really use your guidance here!
George ,I'm learning
I wish I could be this patient with my dog I always feel myself getting very frustrated when on walk and then I feel very guilty when I get home because I know he dosen’t know better
There are two types of dog walking. The "heal" walk and the "adventure" walk. The heal walk is very formal. You set the pace and the dog stays at your side. The other is the adventure walk. Here the dog is free to stop and sniff, and resumes the walk when he wants. Many dogs can transition from heal to adventure easily.
One way to make the transition easier is to heal on the sidewalk and adventure when off-sidewalk.
Omg you live in AK too! Are you worried about her first winter? My boy hates the cold already
Amazing
Love the new intro xD
A Zak George video without Pupbox or Pupford? Also awesome video...hoping a lightbulb in my 4mth old's head will go off soon with loose leash walking!
Perfect loose leash walking does take a very long time to develop. My 16 month old is getting pretty good at it, she rarely goes to the end of her leash even when she is a bit excited to get somewhere. I'd say there are times when it feels like you are repeating the same exercises and nothing gets better, and then there are huge leaps when they suddenly understand something. For your sanity, enjoy your puppy and don't worry too much about perfect lose leash walking yet, 4 months is really young. Play in a fenced in area or on a long leash instead of walking so much. When you teach other things your puppy gets better at learning and you get better at communicating with your puppy, then you can do things like reward for eye contact or do tricks while you walk instead of being the leash police all the time.
@@emmamemma4162 Thank you for taking the time to write your comment! Glad to hear your girl is mastering it! He's training to be a service dog so he does need to learn how to walk nicely quite soon, but as you say having fun is definitely as important! We play this game with treats on pavements where I try to keep his attention on me when cars (and anything else that moves) goes past and he is getting really good at it. Pulls for a little bit but then really gets into the game! He loves it!
@@HayleyEastabrook That sounds like fun, how exactly do you play this game?
@@emmamemma4162 It's awesome!
Basically I take him out to the path just outside my garden (it's only a 20m/h route). We don't go anywhere else apart from walking up and down the path a bit. Every time a car passes he gets a treat (usually chicken, cheese, sausage or ham...just something very high value). If he reacts to them then he doesn't, but we move around more and I throw treats on the ground. It gets his mind away from fixating on the cars and anything else that moves (typical collie) and he has to have his nose down sniffing for the goodies! We do this inbetween those triggers for him so he doesn't lose interest. And bonus food if he looks at me. It's something our trainer taught us and he loves it. Makes him work for his breakfast and dinner, as well as gets his mind thinking. We have only been doing it for just over 1 week, so he still reacts to the odd car, but he looks back at me so much quicker already.
@@HayleyEastabrook Do you use the same treats as a reward for not reacting to a car and for throwing on the ground or are they different?
My dog's weak point is wildlife (typical hound, lol) we have plenty of spots where I know for a fact there'll be rabbits, so maybe I could adjust this game into something we can do around those places. Thanks for sharing!
Something that came across my mind when I was walking my dog and thinking about your reply and how the stakes are higher when training a service dog: do you use something like a vest to let him know when he is "on duty" and if so, how has that been?
My collie is pretty good at this for the most part. The "snoot ensnaring golden blade of grass" is still a problem but not as much as it used to be.
Been watching for just over a year, started watching the day I got my puppy ( who is now a year old)
Hey! I should be getting a dog pretty soon.
I still don’t know what breed I’ll be getting but I’m considering one which doesn’t shed a lot. However, since I live in a state where it snows for a few months, It’d be best if he had a moderate amount of fur.
I had my last puppy 6 years ago so I’d really be great to know the most recommended toys, food, and accessories. Any suggestions?
Can you please tell me the brand / type of harness you are using?
Love watching these, very helpful. Thank you
It looks like a Blue 9 Balance harness. I have one and really like it because all the parts adjust for a perfect fit. I do use a more padded harness as well though. I like Dog Copenhagen or Ruffwear for those.
I have trained my dog by watching your classes
yo best you tuber uploaded again ;)
I love your videos. Maybe you have a suggestion for me. my dog is a wonderful, 8 year old goldendoodle. I have a lot of trouble training her because she’s not interested in treats. How can I motivate her? Thanks
Beautiful and interesting video.
