    Thank you! You read online all the time how huskies are independent and need to be "dominated". But as a soft-spoken woman, I've found the opposite. You build a relationship, have patience, lots of exercise, and fun. It's never a surprise that the "balanced" dog trainers always have them on their list of dogs they don't like to train because they can be emotional and independent and playful and definitely wouldn't respond well to force. But no dog does. It's just like with kids. Some kids handle poor parenting with the appearance of good behavior, other kids act out or don't comply, but they're all damaged by dominating tactics that lack patience and thoughtfulness and are rooted in an awful mentality.

    I used to have a slightly toxic attitude about training.
    I've never been what I'd consider abusive, but I've never been afraid to force submission. My curret rescue was horribly traumatized, and is highly intelligent besides. I could tell immediately my old tactics wouldn't work. She shut down, didn't want to listen, would avoid me. She taught me to build trust and love, and the obedience comes. Now I wouldn't do it any other way.
    Love you Cleo🐾

      I get what you mean how the video is hilarious, however it is also dangerous to those who don't know better and believe his propaganda. People will see this video and then refuse proper, balanced help to dogs on death row that could have been easily saved by the guidance of a proper, balanced dog trainer. Zak is plain dangerous.

    I’m guessing this is targeted towards a certain trainer I follow. Show me one of the dogs he trains that are scared for their life and not happy to work. Then also show me any of your dogs walking down the busy street without your collar and leash on ( which is a restraint and a negative reinforcer). If your purely positive you would take the collar off your dogs neck and stop restraining them from the world and put your training to the test. And you would make an easy 50k by doing just that… but let’s be honest the only thing you’ll be doing is making videos calling everyone who has common sense “alpha males” lol which is too funny.

    Unfortunately there are still trainers who still use old styles including dominance. Dog training is not regulated either. I just ran into a lady with a great pyr mis rescue and the trainer she found told her to put a shock collar on.

    Many men tend to get defensive when confronted with historical (and current) facts about the patriarchy, but I implore those men to take a few moments to really THINK why those defenses kick in!
    Aggression is unfortunately never the right way forward.

    Okie.... explain to me (as a i am a balanced trainers and do use e collars) why do i put it around my neck and give the remote to my clients to teach them how to use it... It's easy for us to do it , it's our job... i've been a positive only trainer, and then i've met people -> no time , no effort ,no will to understand , just wanting me to fix it (for those owners ofcourse e collars are banned by me!) , i don't believe in dominance over dogs and true dominance between dogs is rare . Tell me where am i wrong , when my dogs(dogs that i have trained) are just as happy and never abused , and actually leading lives they never could before i went balanced training ... I'm a result driven guy , if you have something that is truelly special, short of use 8 hours a day doing training and having a malinoix x, that's already tired and pretty low drive for the breed ,that functions on video , how do you do that in an hour a day and better yet how do owners learn to do it?(which is the main reason i went balanced ... i can do it , owners can't) this is not a snub (although i do resent a bit being lumped in with alpha trainers though ), i really want to know .... but all i see is that we beat or shock the dogs into submision while 98% of the time we do the same thing
    P.S. Once again , i do understand that there are monsters that just abuse dogs , especially where i live , where the first thing is they put a choke collar and start yanking... and i agree with you , but thats not all of us... and it's kind of insulting to be honest , because i've heard a strawman arguments about force free as well and don't buy it , the same way i don't buy your words unless you can clearly answer my questions above

    I came from a family that owned only owned retrievers. My parents always blamed the dog when he didn’t listen but never asked why. Later I had a situation where a “problem” husky fell into my lap as my first dog. When dog trainers didn’t work I found Zak George. 6 years later now the best behaved dog in my family and looks to me for guidance when unsure. I decided that if I wanted her to respect me I needed to teach her respect by showing it. All the people who told me that she was a lost cause now ask how I did it. All dogs at their core want to be good it’s just a matter of communication, trust and effort on our part.

      90% of balanced dog training is positive. Corrections and punishments from tools are mostly to refine what has been taught with primarily positive reinforcement or to fix severe behavior problems. And most people who use e-collars aren't out there frying their dogs for not recalling - most of the time just a vibration is used to get the dogs attention as a correction instead of a shock. By using balanced methods, you'll end up with a dog who can listen intently around distractions and have a super solid temperament. You can think whatever you want about different methods of dog training, but sometimes you've just gotta look at the dog! Dogs belonging to balanced trainers like STSK9, American Standard K9 and Shield K9 are extremely enthusiastic and clearly trust their handlers. E-collars can be misused in a way in which they are indeed abusive and cause a dog stress and pain, but when used correctly, they are great tools. I don't believe that one approach to dog training will fit every dog, but just because a method isn't necessarily what you'd use on your dog, doesn't mean it's bad!

      But claiming and actually having is of course a huge difference, I dont know about UK certificates. But the point was, in Europe we have such lists and the people get evaluated after education, not once but every X period (not very long) as well to stay on the list. We are expected to keep up to date and keep learning about the newest research which isnt a bad thing. Never go blind because science isnt always right, but its very important to keep up, have conversations with other trainers and keep your own experience in mind snd your own logic. That combined is the most chance of succes and safety.

When I see my dog is half a mile from me and barking on the GPS device, I need to be able to push a button to call him back. And my dog is not even a hound who works a lot further from human.

    Doesn't say how to train the damn dog. Mostly hot air. In the meanwhile working dogs and competition dogs continue to be trained using balanced training.

Both sides are very curious to see the results. Walk away with $50k (or give it to me if you don't want it lol) You don't even have to beat Haz, just match him. He said so himself. Do it 1 time to prove a point then never again. I will throw out my e-collar, my prong collar, Haz's book, and unsubscribe from his youtube and instagram channels if you do this and at least match his skill. I will promote you instead of him.

    • @zakgeorge
      @zakgeorge  12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +3

      @ Hitting the end of the leash isn’t a ‘correction’, it’s just a consequence of movement. A correction requires intent, meaning the handler deliberately applies leash pressure to decrease a behavior. In this case, Wallace reached the end of the leash on his own. I didn’t pop the leash, apply pressure, or manipulate him in any way.
      If a dog walks into a glass door, did the door ‘correct’ them? No, it was just a physical boundary. The difference between force-based training and modern training is that I don’t need to use the leash as a punishment tool. Wallace learns through reinforcement and management, not through being physically corrected.

      @@zakgeorge Who ever said that a correction requires intent from the handler?
      The actual definition of a correction is: "a change that rectifies an error or inaccuracy".
      Using your logic about a dog walking into a glass door, then yes, the door did correct the dog. Passing a physical boundary and getting stopped by it is a correction, in fact it is one of the most natural types of corrections.
      For some reason, you think that a balanced dog trainer giving a correction, has to involve the trainer doing something to bring that correction upon the dog. Well you're wrong.
      I personally, am a balanced dog trainer myself, and I can assure you that Wallace hitting the end of the leash was what I would call a strong correction, in fact a lot stronger than I would normally use and advocate for.
      As I have previously explained, a lot of times with reactive dogs that haven't been socialised much, I will have the dog on a leash and let it hit the end of the leash by itself (NOT me popping the leash), then the dog comes back and get rewarded.
      If you say a "purely positive" dog trainer can let the dog hit the end of the leash and still call themselves a "purely positive" trainer, then I must be able to call myself an "almost-always purely positive" trainer, as I hardly ever apply pressure to the leash.

Not to mention that you demonise balanced training and act as if its 100% corrections/positive punishment. Alot of these studies you hide behind are based off of surveys and are extremely biased. Theres a reason that these studies are made by vetinary behaviourists, its because they know they can charge you a fortune to put your dog on meds. Also someone who has a sponsor on every video and only trains 5 dogs a year (You) are more likely to promote this softly softly approach because you can make more money selling treats and toys in a monthly subscription compared to balanced trainers who might recommend a specific lead. And to top all of that, there is no scientific consensus on dog training anyway, watch ivan balabanovs video on it if you arent convinced. Unlike zak he actually shows the science hes referring to.
