Stop. Don't complain about the sponsors, he is providing us with free content
My only complaint is they aren't available here and would be good to have a discount code (unless I missed that bit)
Its not free. There's ads and he makes commission when we watch a video
@@buddyholly4672 and yet still free. If you don't pay.
Could just as easily put all this on a website behind a pay wall.
@@buddyholly4672 do you pay for those ads? No, shut up.
@@goldennamedcooper We are paying a price that is much higher than what most people think. We are paying because we keep watching these videos that give incremental and incomplete information that does not really allow us to train our dog and just make us keep coming week after week because we still have problems. Two much better channels are the one from Emily at Kikopup and the one by Nate Schoemer. I just which I had found those earlier.
My experience with prong collar was great.
Used properly, these are only tools to communicate and are not cruel - I put the prong collar around my own neck and tugged, too. Does not hurt. Nothing is black and white and no two dogs are similar.
GSD 8months old
He would pull, yank, spring all over, and knock ppl over, hurt my shoulder.
Got a prong collar. Never "popped" him, just would freeze and hold when he'd start pulling.
After 2 days he figured it out and walks perfectly wearing prong collar. No issues. TWO DAYS.
Already weaning him off of prong collar after 3weeks. Still not perfect but so much better wearing only a harness now. Can update again in a couple more weeks if people still thinking prong collars are bad or dont work.
Thank you!!! This is why personally I recommend Mike Ritland (Former Navy SEAL dog trainer.) This dude has a dog from a litter of puppies who at four months were herding sheep and his dog was barely trained to sit and down.
ill check him out.
Zak is a great trainer, no doubt. I've used some of his techniques with positive results. Very good.
The downside to Zak is that I haven't seen him train large-breed dogs with previous issues where months of training to see any results is not an option.
@@runningrock124 The problem with Zak is it took him a year to teach a dog to walk properly on a leash, where other trainers take 15 minutes. Zak excuses a lot of bad behaviors by stressing to be "tolerant" and that's not training, that's allowing a dog to misbehave, and get in a mode where it will continue to misbehave. There are better R+ trainers out there.
“now they’re only terrible on leash 50% time remember your in the right direction” sooo needed that bc my dog is so great but the leash is the one place he struggles and these past couple years have been rough w it but i am so happy w his progress even if it’s small
Zak's videos are always so encouraging and calming when I am feeling a bit frustrated with the training. I appreciate them so much!
I don't even have a dog yet, but I am addicted to this channel ❤️❤️😂😂😂
Same here🤣🤣
Thank god you mentioned to keep the potty walk separate from the casual walk and training walk. I was actually mixing the two. Now I am confident and able to understand whys…. Thank you.
Awesome video! My Molly is a 5 month old Old English Sheepdog at my farm and I started my channel back in July chronicling the transformation of our farm stay startup. Molly shows up as an 8 week old pup in episode 6 and we’ve been watching her train and grow since then. I’ve started leash training a while back and she’s doing very well... she still pulls a bit though, still working on that. Molly is not longer chasing the chickens, but she still wants to chase our ducks. I’ve been training Molly with a lot of what I’ve learned from your channel and will keep doing so.
It is obvious how much effort you put into training dogs and it makes me happy when ever I watch your videos,
Thank you
Thank you for being honest and showing it doesn’t happen overnight. It definitely is a process that can easily take up to or over a year. I wasn’t consistent with my pit (and regretfully used the prong collar for a year). Once I committed to teaching her how to leash walk, it was like night and day but it took A LOT of time and patience. I wished I had tired her out more often before her lessons! Totally recommend it. It’s been about over a year in training and she’s doing much much better.
I can totally relate with my pit/ lab mix! Seeing that it’s working with you gives me hope that we don’t need the prong collar
He's shoes are always on point!!!
Yeah, the shoes are so prominent, he should consider using them for ad revenue.
I come back to this video every time I get frustrated with leash training. It takes time! Thanks Zak :)
She is such a good dog
Zak, you make everything seem so easy and possible! I lost my four-legged friend early this year and watching your videos kinda makes me wanna get another one soon. I'll be sure to train my dogs to come your way! Amazing work you're doing here!!
I would say exercising or playing with your dog prior to leash training is the ultimate key without it is futile. It frustrating at first to tire your dog out just to train the dog on the leash but it's essential
Amen! It is essential.
And here I am trying to use leash walking as a form to exercise him 😩
@@iverson7x prong coller mate.
I have learnt so much from you, and my relationship with my dog has gotten so much deeper and better as a result. thank you so much!!!
plot twist: the reason these vids are so good is because Zak applies the same techniques to training dog owners with these vids
I have been dog-sitting this past week for a 6mo Golden Retriever who struggles with loose-leash walking. I can't even count how many videos I have watched this week about teaching your dog to stop pulling on the leash, and this is by far the most helpful I have seen! I appreciate Zak's comments about different kinds of walks (socialization, training, exercise, etc.) and being more tolerant of pulling during some of those walks than during others.
I also really appreciate the idea of working on loose-leash walking very slowly and close to home (including inside the home at first). That lines up exactly with what I am seeing from this Golden--she does all right when we are in the back yard or close to home, but the farther away we get, the more she wants to pull to go sniff and explore the new things out there.
Thanks, Zak, for reminding me about the need for LOADS of patience, along with understanding about what we are actually asking our dogs to do.
Getting my 1+a half year on dog on Tuesday. Super excited to train her using your videos 🥰
Man, thank you for that. We currently have a 6 month old foster dog here. Things are going smoothely, but sometimes, she just wants to go home and pulls like crazy. I watch a lot of your content but hadn't watched this one, but I did things very similar to that. I was just frustrated that it didn't seem to help. But now I know that I'm on the right track and that my understanding of training is overall pretty accurate. I'm motivated again!
When I first got my big guy this was a HORRID problem. Though I didn't teach him to stop pulling on a leash. When I set boundaries, guidelines and expectations and fixed our relationship, he just stopped on his own. LOOOOOOTS of love went into this, too.
Also one of the things you never seem to mention is that dogs will tend to progress until around a year old, then will typically regress a little. This is a normal thing and many people find it discouraging to the point of quitting or feeling like a failure. This is normal behavior and should be expected.
This is also why service dogs don't start full service work until around 18-24 months if they begin training at 8-9 weeks old as puppies. Slow is fast sometimes. Expect the regression when they hit their phase and keep on working through it.
Getting my Cockapoo puppy in 3 weeks and the past week i have marathon watched both Inertia and Kona`s videos to get myself ready. Really appreciate you Zak AND Bree for making these high quality guides!
Thank you so much ! Your training videos help ! My puppy is just barely about to turn four months old and because of you and Pupford thirty day training - she has learned so many things already . Leash walking is still a bit difficult because she wants to eat everything from grass to leaves as we are walking and sometimes she starts biting at my heels - but from now on i am going to be extra patient and have a bag of good treats on me and see how much better she gets . She is very smart and already knows a bunch of tricks thanks to you .
Been using your TH-cam teachings with my corgi puppy and he’s super responsive and doing great overall
Great video Zak, love your book and will definitly apply your training tips when we get our Aussie.
This is the first training video that I actually sat through without loosing interest. I have a 10 week old puppy and she’s a puller. You gave me genuinely helpful information!
I’ll be trying your tips out ASAP!
Thank you 😀
So helpful! My puppy pulls a lot. This is way to helpful! I also signed up for the 30 Day Pupford Course :) This is amazing, thank you!
My 13 week old puppy is already improving on his leash thanks to you. Your methods work so well.
This is probably the most important video regarding this topic. Thank you, Zak!
Thank you so much Zak! You have helped me so much. I've been watching you for about two years before getting my GSD mix puppy and she is AMAZING because of you. 😭 🙏
She's gotten so big!
Another absolutely great video! Thank you!!
Had to train my 12 week old Border Collie not to get the zoomies when a car drives by. Repeated sit and stay and it worked.
Pet owners have an idea in their heads as to how they would like their pet to behave. The truth is that no one sets out to have a dog with behavioral problems. Yet sometimes, we must cope with the fact that our dogs exhibit troublesome qualities. These include behaviors such as incessant barking, chewing on your possessions and furniture, separation anxiety, and much more.Of course, we want to address the root of the problem rather than simply addressing the manifestation. This is where it’s important to seek professional help from a certified dog training program. visit here t.co/nnY411Q7yg
my border collie puppy lays down when he sees a car and then as it passes tries to chase it
Still watching and learning...my reactive dog is now sooooo much better thanks to you ☺☺
Love that video, my 6 months old puppy is not perfect on leash walking yet but making progress, this video reminds me to be tolerant and notice that she slowly gets better and just needs more time ❤
I’ve been trying and trying for over a month to push past the plateau with my dog. I go out today and use what you just said and ten times better already!
thank you for addressing e collars!! super helpful! Very well spoken. logical. makes sense!
So cute and funny... I guess its true when they said "people who live with
dogs are happy people"❤️❤️❤️ Thankyou Zak
Thank you for this video
I have a German short haired pointer
Puppy about 4 months old and she doesn’t do great on a leash this video has helped
Thank you so much Zak ☺️
You are very good. I have a challenge training my new Dalmation puppy. He is catching on fast at 11 weeks. Knows his name in 4 days, come, sits, lay down and learning small walks. He is a play biter, jumper and he wants to RUN. And hates “time out” because I cannot play all day and he is super chewer. Gets an hour exercise in morning and evening. Fenced yard but wants to dive into koi pond AND tear up container gardens. Exhausting. But, he’s cute.
ita been over 10 years since i trained my last dog. its a relief to see that what im seeing in my dog at 4 months is completely normal. thank you for all your information. most of this information has been a confirmation of what im already doing. along with new training content to use with her. she is a chocolate lab and very stubborn =)
Really great vid and advice as always TY so much!❤
thanks for being so helpful! i wouldn't have been able to teach my friend anything without your help! we thank you!
Thank you so much, I needed that video today! I have a 7 month old Aussie that loves to learn, but is so smart.
great encouragement mate!! Progress not perfection. Love the way you break it all down and most of all, demonstrate. Nothing better than that and I appreciate your effort, passion and consistency.
I have a new jack Russell and ur video has made a big difference on her behavior walking etc. Thanks Scott
Her body awareness. Those turns!! Amazing!!
Thank you, very helpful. This is way different than the way I was taught when I did an internship at the humane society back in high school. It was always done with a choke collar thing and we used dogs at the shelter that spent most of their day in a kennel and we walked them on a path that basically went right through farm full of farm animals on both sides. Anytime they pulled (which was always because of all the animals and just their pure joy of being out of their cage) we were told to tug the leash and that was basically it.
Thank you! This was very helpful, I have recently new dog that was a stray they say he’s about 2-3 years old and I’m starting to train him, he has issues with being distracted by other dogs and being territorial. He’s not a big player, with dog toys he’s mostly not interested or absolutely scared by them. And your videos are very helpful.
Zak always flexing on us with them kicks😄😄
These videos make me feel more hopeful for the future with our Staff terrier lab mix! 3 months and high energy 😅
ive got a collie too and all your videos helped me train her just like inertia💗💗 thanks zak
Zac, you are my go to when i need dog tips. I found out about you around 7-9 y ago when I had my 1st border collie, and was looking for frisbee tips. I’ve had dogs since I was born, and always loved training them. I’ve learned alot from your videos and always give you “copy rights” when people ask me how I trained my dogs so well. The only thing I miss from you, is that when you started you did not have all these sponsors and focused a lot more on training dogs without treats (I know it's not possible with all dogs, but you used to give more options for either toys or treats). Everywhere I look nowadays people are focusing on training with treats and I think mostly its because of DIY videos (seriously, it's like petsmart store training completely driving the dog on treats) . Every single time when people ask me for tips, I recommend your videos, but I ALWAYS tell them to search up your oldest videos before you had all these sponsors, because they were ROOTS and worked. Don't get me wrong, all your videos are amazing and helpful, but I liked it more when it was just your without sponsors. Would like to see more videos with treats as a 2nd option only when really necessary. Cheers and keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the comment - I am working towards financial stability so I can adopt a dog. I do however fear the dog becoming obese due to treats, but it never seems to get addressed in training videos🤔
New starting video 😍😍
thank you so much, this has been difficult for me and i think these tips will help
Hello Zak, I truly enjoy watching your training videos. My husband and I have had dogs over the years of our life together. Our last dog, a precious member of our family for just over 13 years, had to be put down at age 14, in 2019. We have always adopted shelter dogs. This past February 2020, we were ready to bring a new dog into our home. We adopted an 8 week old female puppy from a local shelter and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. In August, she developed a nasty skin infection. After visiting the Vet, we were given a prescription spay ointment which I have applied to her skin as necessary. The infection subsided, and just rice in November, I was given the ok by our Vet to put her on adult dog food. We give her 1 cup (or just under 1 cup) of Science Diet sensitive tummy & skin dry food. She does love it, and seems to be doing well, but I still need to apply an anti inflammatory cream to the affect areas of her skin. Should I also be giving her a Supplimental to improve or calm her skin flair ups?
We have a kelpie who is super obedient when off the leash. Even if we run into other dogs. He may check the other dog out, but then follows like it's nothing. On leash it's much different, cause he doesn't get to check out the dog and gets frustrated. And sometimes he just gets a bad vibe and starts growling. That has been happening less recently though, partly thanks to your videos. Keep it up!
Just found our page on tiktok and its the best page I’ve found!! Love your content keep it up!
All I have learned here with your videos work perfectly ! Thank you thank you thank you!🙏😎
Very good training advice,he understands what motivates the animal...
I will definitely try these tips with my dog
also, THANK YOU for speaking out about physically "corrective" collars!
What is wrong with balanced dog training and negative dog training?
1. Those methods WASTE MONEY. If you are a dog trainer trying to save money, why would you waste money on buying choke chains, shock collars (e-collars), and prong collars?
2. Those methods PUNISH DOGS. Dogs are smart animals. Why should we use something so negative such as punishment with "bonkers" (according to Jeff Gellman, the guy who pretends to be a dog trainer but actually is an animal abuser,)? As Victoria Stillwell once said about shock collars, "This is what I want to do with EVERY SHOCK COLLAR in a home." (Uses a hammer to break them)
3. Balanced dog training STILL PUNISHES DOGS, but punishes when a dog does something wrong. They still use choke chains, e collars, and prong collars.
POSITIVE VS BALANCED VS NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
1. Positive training is based on YES. If a dog lies down, they get a treat. If they get up, the trainer redirects them into a lie-down, and then they get a treat.
2. Balanced dog training is in the middle. If a dog lies down, they get a treat. If they get up, they get a painful shock collar.
3. Negative training is based on NO. To train a dog to lie down, trainers step on the leash or push their back down. When they succumb to the pressure and lie down they don't get anything. But if they get up, they get a rough pop with a prong collar, choke chain, or electric collar.
@@thebiblemessenger stop humanising you’re dogs ignorant fools
Really helpful information!
Love all these videos, especially since I have a 15 week old border collie
I just got me two puppies there leash walking skills are bad but after watching this video somehow it improved a lot
I love your videos, I have a labrador. Keep up the good work
Thank you for this amazing resource! Inertia is so beautiful too
Hello Zak :
Wish to SINCERELY thank you for being so open about sharing your knowledge and experiences as you train Inertia. Your videos have helped me understand the nuances of training like nothing else -
I have purchased both your books that will re-enforce/support the TH-cam videos - All in anticipation to when I invite a pup to be part of my life in the coming year or two.
Can you confirm if these videos will be available on TH-cam for the next few years ? Once the pup is with me, I would like to review them at each stage of the training thus this question.
With gratitude for everything!
Hey zak it would be great ufa ta ll possible you could make a video on every trick you've taught Inertia or you could make it in to a mini series can you also make a video on how to get your puppy to behave around people. Love your vids keep up the great work. Also for the tricks if you could do a brief description on how to train each.
I cant believe that ive been following inertia for a yr now 😊
Zak George lowkey a millionaire
Yeah for ripping people off. Till this day he can't walk his dog normally next to a dog. Thats why he still don't show it. Remember next to the bridge
@@superstankydanky808 His dog is still in training.
@@superstankydanky808 he is still training remember she is still a really young dog she won’t know everything f
@@malaya9621 dang over a year old and cant even walk normal next to a dog. Wow!!!!! Thats crazy.
@@IsaacOtworth a normal walk isn't everything. She can do all those fancy tricks but can't even walk normal around a block. Forget that type of dog training
Hey Zack, your videos have taught me a lot and I love them and quite follow them. Will it be possible for you to make a video on Interia's grooming ritual and routine and bath times? My puppy is very calm most of the time but when it comes to bath time she freaks out so much and it becomes very difficult. I would very much appreciate if you could show us how you go about your routine.
I’ve been working with my rescued 11 year old collie mix for 2 years, and she’s definitely much better than she was. I don’t feel like I’m walking the Tasmanian Devil any more. But she still pulls, so walkie time is still a challenge.
I totally agree about not using the aversives because they normally cause more issues. But they're also just unkind. Dogs find it annoying, painful, and even scary. You don't want your dog to associate those feelings with you, training, and triggers. They're also risky healthy wise. Trauma to the throat, neck, and spine is not uncommon with dogs that wear these collars.
Agree completely. He is probably not being ‘judgey’ in the way he says it so as to encourage those that use them to stop and not alienate them.
@@clairebrinkleyhomes811 Totally! I think he put it really well. Being negative towards others won't help them at all! I've experienced this first hand. I didn't know about R+ training, and was taught with these collars and methods, but the R+ community has been really nice and welcoming, and forgiving, and I haven't looked back!
Zak’s so goofy & it’s so fun to warch! I don’t even have a dog 🤣
This is amazing!thanks
LOVE YOU❤️❤️🧡YOU DESERVE MORE THAN LOVE, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU INCREDIBLE VIDEOS KING OF DOG TRAINERS. You helped me to train my Australian Shepherd well. ;)❤️❤️❤️❤️
I trained my two staffs without treats that way they are not just doing it for food , worked for me.
What did you do instead? Toys?
@@W0lfm0ther just gave them lots of praise maybe I just got lucky.
YES I NEED THIS
Yessss
My dog pulls a lot so this is very helpful thank you 🙏
Same
Zak, great video as usual. Could I request one just on hand signals?
I just love the realistic training approach Zak has. A lot of people will say that a slip collar will magically work because your dog doesn't want to choke themselves, but I see no difference in behavior when I use one, and my dog may hurt herself if she is being reactive to a barking dog or something. I don't feel comfortable physically pulling her away from a distraction with a slip collar on, so we end up not going anywhere when she is distracted. I tried a harness (and I honestly felt guilty for using a harness because of all the training advice out there that says it will encourage pulling) and I actually found that my dog was MORE responsive to direction with the harness, probably because I was able to pull her to change direction more easily without feeling like I was hurting her. Zak's channel is the first one I've found that truly prioritizes our love and respect for our pets. I want to communicate with her and keep her safe above all else.
I love your videos, Inertia is so big and beautiful. She already knows a lot of cues. Great work with her Zak. 😍
I love your videos
Good explanation.
My mini aussie pays attention pretty good outside, he's lived outside pretty much the entire time since he was with the breeder until 9 weeks when I got him.
Fence barking?
I'm about to be Inertias PR representative lol 😆 😂 🤣
Awesome advice!
You are a very good trainer thank you
Thanks for this video - my 7 month old pup and I just came back from a very frustrating loose leash training session and this came at just the right time to give me some hope!
Thank you for reminding me to be more tolerant.
Love your videos my 15 week old puppy catches on quick
Thanks so much Sri
The fact his Border Collie is named Inertia is absolutely fantastic and hilarious
Trying to train my 2 year old shepherd mix how to walk nicely on a leash and to keep attention. Was feeling very discouraged until I saw this video!
I love that you have weave poles in your living room! 😂
Who knew Zak has such a collection of funky sneakers???
thank you, I know you have to take it a step at a time but I realize I might've gone too fast- I'm going to listen to my dog and see when we can take next step!
zak shoe game crazzzyyyy
YEEEAAS THANK YOU
Nate schoemer is an awesome dog training instructor like Zak, for anyone wanting something similar but without the product plugs
Circles do work great for my German Shepard I just rescued…I agree with all your training tips u really see results if you stay consistent
