I was happy that so many of you watched my last video that I decided to post this one early! Does your dog listen around other dogs? If not, I promise this video will help! Many of you have requested that I go to a dog park and show you how to teach your dog to listen around OTHER DOGS! That's what Jose, Nina and I did here! Tell me how your dog is around unknown dogs below!

I got my German Shepherd, Tiberius, less than 2 weeks ago, he's 4 1/2 months old now. For the first week, I had no idea what I was doing, and the advice given to me by various family members was all about domination and they told me to spank him, and 'show him who's the boss' and my aunt even told me that because he's going to be big that I need to get a pinch collar now. I was so confused and getting a little frustrated after that first week, but my husband and I didn't want to to get rough with him and I started searching out more positive training techniques on the internet. I discovered your videos on Friday evening and watched about 4 hours worth of videos. Saturday I taught Tiberius to 'sit' at the vets office surrounded by distressed dogs. Now, 5 days later, he knows the basics of sit, stay, lie down, leave it, go get it, and let go. And he looks at me when I ask him to and comes when called most of the time. I am so grateful that these videos are available because they saved me from making horrible mistakes. Thank you so much Zak!
Thank you Kandice! Happy to have you here. Thank you for being an independent thinker. :)
Spend time and love him and follow these instructions as best you can...no one is perfect ...and your dog will be amazing. Remember give him time.

Considering this comment is 4 years old, that dog is now 4/5 years old. I’m sure he’s a fully trained dog now.
True Darkwolf...true ...I didn't notice that it was a comment that old. Still I feel the comment is a true statement. I like Zaks methods.
Oh no doubt, it’s a great message to any beginning dog owner, or just puppy owners in general.
I have had my (service dog in training) since the day she was born, which happened to be on my birthday. I have been watching your training videos ever since she was 5 days old to educate myself. Now my SDiT is 7 months old and is the most obidient dog I know of. She's being trained to be my diabetic alert, PTSD and autism service dog
*dogs
I’m getting a German Shepard husky mix soon and we are self training her to be my POTS service dog for when I pass out and my heart rate goes over the roof what age should we start training
@Grace Reich we chose to give our pup to a experienced service dog trainer with frequent visits every week for 6 hours a day to make sure we get the best working dog we could get out of him and still be able to bond he is back home and now got his label of a fully trained service dog, My friend who is getting her prospect is owner training i will be sure to pass on this info to her thank you!
My dog (lab mix, 4 years-old) has been always more hype than other dogs, but as she grew older it got to a point where she gets too excited and becomes aggressive towards other dogs. I know it will take longer to re-train her since she's not a puppy anymore, but she's making progress slowly. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
My pup is a rescue dog which I found hiding around my car at my home one morning, three weeks ago. Her name is Belle (the beautiful lady in Beauty and the Beast) and she seems to be roughly 3-6 months old. Growing fast! She loves learning because of Zac's methods, wow!
I got my corgi at 16 months old. Now Taylor is 2 years and 5 months old and he knows most of the basics. He knows sit, lay down, and I'm working on stay today! Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch! Thank you Zak!!!!
Thanks, this is exactly the video we need with our 7-month old lab mix! She is super friendly, loves dogs and people but a little too much! After great recall, we had a really hard time getting her to pay attention to us when trying to transition her recall to the dog park. Thanks so much for the video, the tips and your overall training philosophy!
Hi there. I'm having the same trouble with my 8 month collie. So you said you had success with this method?
Slowly, but yes we are. Takes a lot of patience! She's 10 months now, and at this point does turn to us when we call her in the dog park, maybe 50% of the time? Much better than 0!
we got Luna from the shelter and the vet estimated her age at 3. she didn't know sit, stay or lay down (in English, anyway,) but she will not get on the furniture even if you want her to.., (unless there are fireworks.) We've been enjoying your videos and working with her 3 times a day after her walks. She's learning lots of great things. She's dog reactive, and we're making lots of progress with that too. Thank you! Your videos have made training so easy, and your positive attitude feels just right!
Thank you so much Zak! I've been struggling with my irish terrier puppy, so many of your videos have helped me within hours! I've realised just how intelligent my puppy is and I look forward to continuing our training together
I rescued my first dog about a month ago and he's turning 7 in August. He's a mix of great Dane and Brazilian mastiff. I also just got a puppy and he's 7 weeks old. Mix of malamute and husky.
I got the puppy young because the mom couldn't feed him and his brothers anymore. She was in a puppy mill and was saved when she was a baby herself. Then she got pregnant because the neighbour of my friends has a Malamute and he jumped the fence while my friend was inside getting something.
I'm a happy dog owner and your videos makes it much more easy to learn how to train my two babies.
We got our pitbull when she was about 3 years old from a friend who didn’t want her anymore. She didn’t know most commands but I’ve been using your videos and we have been very successful with repetition, patience, and praise. So for all of you wondering.. yes you can “teach an old dog to do new tricks”.
I always find inspiration in your videos before I'm going to teach a class in "everyday obedience" here in Sweden, thank you :)
I have four year old Great Dane who is the best dog ever. I adopted him about 6 months ago and he is a pure joy. Takes to training beautifully. A big sweetheart. LOVES other dogs so this is the one thing we have to work on now. Thanks for the tips.
I adopted my 4 year old dog from NBRAN. Diesel was a hunting dog and did not live inside, was not yet fully house trained, has major separation anxiety, could not walk on a leash. Your videos give me encouragement and validation that my efforts are going to pay off.
Got my boy Dexter when he was 4 weeks old. His mother stopped caring for him and began losing weight so the individual allowed me to take him at 4 weeks since I had so much experience with puppies. He's 9 months old now, and a Look At Me champ! Your videos have been such a huge help with training him. He's an American Staffie, and I've never had such a large indoor dog before (my other dogs are all older chihuahuas). Your videos have really helped me curve his behaviors. He has a future as a registered Emotional Support Animal for me :)
I can't tell people how much I love your methods. As a vegan I believe in what you stand for and how you train (communicate) with your dogs. I got Ollie when he was 7 months old and all of his training has been from watching your videos. We go hiking all the time, but two days ago he ran away from me and ended up chasing a car that his (he's a little over a year now) beloved dog friend was driving away in. Luckily a guy in a plow truck grabbed him and returned him to me. After watching this video, I think I have to take a step back and go back to some basics. I never ever want him to do that again. Thanks for all of your videos, and KEEP POSTING because we KEEP LEARNING!
We adopted our dog a couple months ago when he was 9 or 10 months old. He's about 55lbs already so training has been a bit of a challenge because he's big but still such a puppy. When he came to us he was very high energy and very distracted, but we've been working on basic training and he's getting better, I think now that he knows us he's settled down a lot and training is getting easier. Cats and other dogs are still too distracting for me to get his attention, but it's getting better since we discovered his love of cheese :)
I got my miniature pincer 5 months ago and we are doing so well thanks to you. keep up the good work and posted more awesome videos!!!!!
Where the Red Fern Grows!! That was my favorite book as a kid!
Dude thank you for going all out and making an amazing video. It's hard to find really good advice with this with so many people talking. The video helps a lot with real life examples. Thanks again!!
I am enjoying your videos SO much. I've trained several dogs and many horses through the years but it's been awhile and I have a HIGH ENERGY lab puppy. She is so smart and so excited about life. I'm smitten with her and want to train her obedience, agility or whatever she excels at. Thank you so much. April is 4 months old now, loves everything and everyone and is in puppy class. Her pulling is hurting my back so these videos are great. Thank you so much
Thanks Zak for providing the great training website. Daisy, my 4 yr old Akita was 12 weeks old when I brought her home. I've worked with her using positive reinforcement to focus on me instead of other dogs we encounter and she is awesome! Thanks to the local SPCA for their dog behavior and training classes too.
I find your videos to be very useful. I love your energy. I am a fellow trainer and enjoy watching others practice positive techniques. I appreciate the work you do to promote positive training. Keep up the good work Zak!
Both my dogs were rescues I adopted from the pound when they were both 9 mos. old,also cage mates at the pound.Thanks Zak George for all you dol!
both of my dogs were 8 weeks when i got them. The little rescue dog is one who gets lose, and refuses to come to call. I keep training treats by the front door so it happens, i now go into training mode with my border, Scrap (the escape artist) comes running to work too. You've helped in so many ways!!!
I love how you approach training dogs. I've only been subscribed for about a month, but I have probably seen all of your videos. We (my boyfriend and I) really want a white boxer. I was nervous about when to go to a dog park. I had previously gone to one with my cousin and her English Springer Spaniel puppy... she was pretty distracted and frustrated. But you make this seem quite easy as long as you keep your patience. I hate it when I see owners yelling angrily at their dogs. It breaks my heart. You bring out the best part of dog training. Keep inspiring owners. Thank you very much.
Peace. Love .& Happiness.
That's really nice of you to say! Thank you!
I have a chihuahua her name is Stella and she is my best friend, we go everywhere together every day anyway the reasion i am writing is I have been watching and following you since i got Stella in my life and you have been a saving grace i always follow your way of teaching and it works like magic seriously i don't know how you teach dogs but you teach people to teach their dog very impressive young man keep up the great work and thank you for your work and videos on behalf of my Stella and I thank you!
I love all your videos. They're helping us so much! Thank you
You really have a gift! I love watching your videos. I wish I could take one of your classes.
You can just watch his you tubes
My dog was a little under a year when we got him. He was my Christmas present, we adopted him from the Hastings Animal Ark. He's a pit mix and your videos help tremendously!
This is very interesting, a new way for us to look at training. Stella came to us as a rescue at about 13 month after previously being with 2 different families. She is a great dog and after 4 month is really starting to trust us and has become a wonderful family member :-)
Thanks for your videos Zak! Words can not describe how cool this really is, learning how to get your best friend to love "school" with positive methods! I am learning much more than my dog! Honestly, canines are much smarter than we may think sometimes.
We are in the process of looking at and possibly adopting a three-year-old shepherd/lab mix. We've been told that she's good with other dogs and kids and walks a leash pretty well. Her description also includes the fact that she had delivered a litter of 8 pups while living on the streets, which indicates that she had been homeless for some time. She looks like a bright, healthy dog... from the photo. But it's just a photo.
Wish us luck, folks. I am SO happy that i found Zak George's videos in advance of the adoption. I'm usually cynical about how-to videos, but i can see me actually achieving some success using his methods.
Hi Zak. Congratulations for your work and dedication to our best friends! I got Nico from my city dog pound 3 months ago. He is a 4 years old half huskey / half shepherd and has been a real challenge. He spent the last 3 years in the dog pound, closed, no regular walking (because he runned away every single time and he is very dominant and allways looked for fights) and had no afection to human beings. He would stand on his back legs against the wall just to not be touched by anyone (he only left one guy in the pound touch him). He was next on the list so i decided to save him. I must confess i allways have had dogs during my entire life and this seemed a challange to my commom sensed trainer skills. Your videos are helping me understanding positive rehenforcement but i cannot understand why you avoid so much the physical contact with the dog. I don`t think i could have had managed to get the results i have now past this last 2 months without showing the dog who's stronger... physically. The results are: sits, stays, comes to my voice, rolls, jumps and walks with and without leash, plays with other dogs (he is still agressive with big dogs that bark to him.... which i think for his protection it's a good posture) Sure sometimes he likes to test the limits as a good dominant dog he is, but strenght outbested treats. This is all about who's alpha and giving him food rewards and petting him seemed (were) unefective. I think because i didn't miss...what he had never had before (even if by the end of the first month i had him spoiled with all he never had) Anyway i would like to learn more about your techniques because i really think you have skills but mostly you have the heart, and that my friend.... it's essential.
PS. I did not beat my dog, never strungled him and never used constrictor collars but i squeezed him with a "thight embrace"and after 2 or 3 times trying to bit me he stopped doing that and rolled over as in submission. I know i'm probably doing some things wrong that why i would like to get in touch with you, also because on September I'll start a dog trainer course here in Portugal (The first in Portugal recognised by national, EU and international authorities lectored in a University) and your knowledge would be a strong suport if you are willing to share it with me (i'll do the same if you think you need).
Best regards Zak
Another great video! My wife and I just got a new Aussie so we have another opportunity to go back through all your videos to get him up to speed with our 18 month old! I just hope the frisbee is as good of a reward for him as it is for her. One thought on a potential future video would be incorporating two or more dogs into a game of frisbee...
Also, loved the plug for where the red fern grows... I've read that book over twenty times and it's funny seeing the similarities in my dogs, our girl is small but very smart while the new boy is lookin to be big but powerful. Wish my wife woulda let me name him Old Dan, lol. Thanks again for the great videos
Adam
Go ZAK!!!! Don't ever stop making videos u r awesome
Thank you for the encouragement!

About a month ago, we adopted an australian shepherd/border collie/blue heeler mix who is now 14 months old. We met him before we adopted him and made sure that he wasn't a spaz as some dogs with these breeds in them can be. He knows how to sit and walks pretty well on a leash...until another dog comes into the picture. He pulls and tries to go play with any other dog that is within his sight. When off leash, if he sees a dog 300 feet away, he will take off running to play with the dog but ignore us. He loves us when we're in the house so fortunately we have that. I hope that we can train him to be as well behaved and as good of a listener as our collie/chow mix was. We took him through training including Canine Good Citizen Training. I plan to watch more of your videos and hope that we can train this new boy to be a good dog.
Glad I found this video. You are more knowledgeable than our local dog trainers. I have a 8 month old border collie. owned him since he was 2 months old. Love all of your video's.
Having recently discovered your videos zak our Jackrussell puppy "Billybob" has become a joy to train, thank you. we love your whole training approach. keep up the great vids....
Thanks so much for this video! Great training for my service dog !
This has really helped. My very social 7 month old golden retriever is very distractable on walks and would rather interact with everyone/ everything else except me. It looks like a few steps back might be the answer.
There are only a handful of dog trainers on TH-cam that I find helpful. Zak George falls into that category. I have used Zak's videos to give me ideas for supplementing Diamond's training and to help me get through the "ruff" areas.
Michael Commini haha that little joke
My dog was 1 year old when I adopted him. He is now 3 1/2.
We love working on training together and I have found Zak's methods very helpful.
Buddy is up to 112 tricks!!!
My dog was 4 month when I got him, love your videos!
Thank you so much 😊 Zak I really enjoyed that tutorial, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm getting a new puppy in 25 days and you made me learn how to teach a puppy and I told my friend about you and she has a Maltipoo puppy named Oona and my friend said she loves your videos and I love your videos Thanks Zac!😀😄😆🙂
I got my standard poodle at 4 months. Unfortunately, I was advised by a trainer to let him grow up more before training and they would train beginning at a year old. I found your videos when he was 8 months and he has come so very far! Now he is nearly 2 and can do most of the things I need for him to help as my service dog! We still have work and fine tuning ahead of us and dog parks have been his play time and least responsive.
Thank you for these videos. They have helped me see I was asking trainers for help in the wrong way and reminded me that I am his ultimate trainer as he is by MY side the most!
Thanks!
So happy to hear this!
Hey Zac! I love you videos! I'm really hoping that sometime you could do some Service Dog videos. That would help soooo much! Keep up the great work! Thanks!
Great video! And a huge kudos for choosing to work with a rescue.
Shannon was 9 months - had been returned once to the Shelter. I felt a connection. I've had her 2 months!
Zak, thank you for your instructions!
His videos arrived in Brazil and are being very useful in my trainings!
Have a great day and continue with your excellent work!
Thank you André!
Awesome video!! Can't wait to try this with my 2 year old cocker-bichon I just adopted! I hope I make such progress. Lol
We got Uno when he was 6 months old. He's a Shepard mix and he just turned 15 years old last month. He has out lived a couple of dogs we adopted after him. His current companion is Nora, a Weimaraner. We got her from friends in August of 2013 and she is 8 years old.
I adopted my dogs when they were each 3. They are now 5 and 4. One is a border collie/cocker spaniel mix, and the other is a mini Aussie/dachshund mix. My border collie is extremely excitable but very sensitive to correction or frustration and has troubles picking up some of the basics (down was VERY hard) but she has recently shown a lot of enthusiasm for more agility-like training. My mini Aussie mix is very food-motivated but has next to no interest in human interaction or approval.
We have a rescue dog approx 11 months old. He looks like a Siberian Husky but shorter and slightly more muscular, he has white fur and is pinkish around his nose so maybe crossed with a Bull Terrier. He's made great progress since we've had him, but still reacts like a crazy boi when we see other dogs on walks, or even if he can smell one through a fence (not aggressive just overly excited). It's really hard to get his attention when he's in this state and distractions only seem to work for a split second. Even though he's only 25kg I think the mix of his breeds makes him a very strong puller so you can imagine how difficult it is to get him under control when he's in this mood. He losses all interest in treats, jumps wildly in the air, yelps, and just wants to get to the other dog.
I'll keep at it but I feel like if he doesn't change this soon it might become a normal behavior when he sees other dogs.
Thanks for your videos btw, they have helped us correct a lot of bad habbits he had.
Love your video and proactive non physical punishment training, while I will not have my pup until the first week of November I have watched all your videos to that and on FB. I lost my companion this spring after 6 months of deteriorating health at 14. I will have a new American Cocker who I hope to do agility with and think your positive training method will be great in being successful with this activity .
Thanks so much!
Oh man... Where the Red Fern Grows made me cry so hard the first time we read it. Such a bittersweet story.
Thanks for the tips! My Loki (sheltie) was 3 months when I got him :)
This is a very good and useful video, thanks a lot Zak. I got my husky when he was just 7 weeks old and now he is over 3 months old. My puppy is super excited and totally distracted when we have visitors come around. His ears would pulled right back, he would be so jumpy and not listen to us. I watched your video on how to teach your not to jump and we're trying to train him. He does sit few times during this crazy greeting period but then goes straight back to exciting mod as soon as my friend tries to pet him. He also like to mould while he gets excited.
Sound like troublesome but he's a happy pup and been learn tricks from your video very well and fast. It would be great to hear some of your advise at this stage. Also I would like to see more obedience training videos. Cheers!
I have a brindle boxer that I adopted Dec 2016 . Snickers was 3yrs old when I adopted him. He came with fear and aggression issues. He has lunged at men and older ladies. I enjoy your videos. He can't socialize in dog parks.
I got my current dog when he was 2 (I guess 16 or 17 in dog years) he just turned 3 on Feb 17 and he is one of the best dog I ever had (he is my 10th dog). One problem I notice about him is that he gets distracted VERY easily, but I am going to try to help it with that back trick or sliding down the slide :3.
Go Nina! She is awesome!
This is what i need thank you
My Sammy is about 3.. he's a Staffie. He's an Uber over the excitable dog around other dogs he goes ballistic!! But I thank you for your videos. I'm going to continue to work with him❤️🐾🐕
thank you helped a lot. I know more know!
What if your dog cant be distracted with treats or his favorite toy? My dude goes into some kind hyper focus on the other dogs and nothing I do can get his attention until I pull him away. Any tips would be appreciated. I want to take him places but cant 😪
This is a problem, you never really see the trainers address. A lot of us use these techniques, high value treats as a reward for looking at the owner, training far enough away that other dogs aren't too distracting, but no matter what, it seems that there is always a point at which another dog is too close, too distracting. All the rewards for "look at me" at less distracting distances don't seem to allow the dog to get any closer.
I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who loves other dogs, more than any treat (definitely more than any toy-not a toy motivated pup). He will whine, whines turn into barks, barks turn into lunges. Of course, if I can pull him far enough away he will respond to "watch me" commands and happily take a treat, but there is always a point where we are too close and the urge to interact is too great.
@@azed5251 Exactly this! He listens to me so well that I can just give him a hand signal as a command and he'll do it but when it comes to other big dogs theres just no breaking that focus he has on them unless I remove him (which isnt easy since hes a 120lb Akita lol). Hes so well mannered in every other instance, even with smaller dogs, but I just cant get him to focus on me until the other big dog is gone or I pull him away. I've scoured TH-cam for tips and have found nothing but the tips in this video. It's pretty frustrating.
@@vampireprincess0212 and even more frustrating is your case is going to be different than mine. I am guessing, that because your pup is an Akita, he is on alert as a protector. My boy is bred to chase and harass lions (Rhodesian Ridgeback) so he is a sight hound and he loves to play ... chase and harass games that your boy would likely neither enjoy nor tolerate.
Both dogs have very different reasons for being hyper-focused on other dogs.
I am guessing, that for you, (hopefully) breaking the problem might be a bit easier as you can ensure that you are always between the "threat" and your dog, that the leash is always loose and that you aren't worried. Maybe even refrain from feeding him for a day, then take him to a controlled space where he can watch other dogs but be calm and then feed him (might take 100 times to sink in and for him to associate other dogs with pleasant things).
But, this is just speculation. My dog is that one pup that when off leash, has his head in every other dogs face or butt, stuck to them like a magnet. He doesn't care at all about people (sometimes people seem offended when he doesn't care about being pet by them). But, as soon as there is a dog, he is like "oh boy oh boy oh boy, someone to play with, a butt to sniff). And when he doesn't get to play, he throws a tantrum (whines loudly).
@@azed5251 I believe his is 100% protection based. He gets in front of me and tries to push me back without taking his eyes off of the other dog. If I attempt to get in between he shoves me back with his butt again and will lock his muscles so he cant be pulled away easily. He's fine with females, puppies, and small dogs but big males are a no and so its hard to take him anywhere. I've tried to do training with him like you suggested (no food and then reward with food for calm behavior) but nothing but removing him gets his attention. I love and hate that hes so protective of me Haha it is definitely an Akita trait and it's one reason we got an Akita but I wish I knew how to train him to where he doesnt react unless it actually is a threat.
I'm having this exact problem with my German shepherd/great Dane. He is totally obedient in the house, but the second we are outside and another dog walks past he wont even look my way, he whines until he gets to see them, which he rarely does because his whine scares the other dogs. I want to be able to take him places because I know he would love it, but I just cant get him to focus
I have a rescue puppy who is now 5 months old. I got her when she was 9 weeks. Your videos are amazing and a HUGE help!!!!!! thank you so much. She recently peed twice on my bed, a couple of times in her crate and once on the bed of someone else in the family - only in the last 2 weeks. other than that, she is pretty good about doing her business outside. Do you have any videos on this subject?
Thanks!
my dog was 8 months when I got him. I've only had him for a month I'm still having a few issues with come when called,but I'm making progress thanks for the video
Hi Zack,
I watched your video, and hopefully is going to help my dog and me. She is a worker cocker spaniel, 8 months now. She loves to play and has got lots of energy
Every time she sees other dogs I really struggle to control her behaviour and she doesn't listen to me. She also pulls the leash all the time.
So helpful
My dog will always bark and run towards another dog if he sees one and he completely ignores everything I say and he's only focused on the dog. It makes trips to the vet and seeing other dogs while walking him a real challenge. How do I fix this? Is it maybe because he doesn't interact with a lot of dogs? We don't really make him interact with much dogs because of this problem of his.
My dog is the exact same
same here. someone help!
That was literally what this video was about... start small and engage your dog before they see the other dogs.
same an my dog is a 9 month old bulldog and most dog owners don’t want those breeds around cuz of their known for aggression but we have a bulldog puppy as well (3 months old), and when they’re playing he doesn’t even bite her, he RUNS from her. he’s not aggressive just really playful
@islanti no
Nina is GORGEOUS!! Love her!
Where the red fern grows is so sad but I love it
My pup is 10 weeks (I got him 2 wks ago). He is obviously easily distracted by anything! Still, he's learned sit, down, watch me and off; we're successful 85% of the time I'd say. We're working on loose leash, stay and come. Also, working on jumping, nipping and barking corrections.
Great! Control your dog's environment at all times. Understand that the best time to correct a behavior is before it occurs. Play a lot!
Love the dogs
Zak, did you use the DRONE for the aerial shots? Looks really good. Django is estimated to be six years old. We adopted him June of 2013. I've been training him using your videos, along with other resources. He's doing really well; has his CGC & is now a Certified Therapy Dog. Thanks for providing such high quality videos!
My miniature pinscher was approx 3yrs. Now 15! Our 8yr old pit bull was only 5 weeks (way too young to leave mom), and my newest Chihuahua/Feist was 9 mos, now 2yrs.
Stella!! She is a rescue and 3 years old.
i love Jose, hes so good with Nina :D and hes so fun with her! love that
It's sickening how happy and positive this guy is. Maybe I should have been a dog trainer lol. Good videos though
The owner is actually really good himself!
that is one amazing dog park
It really is!
where is this dog park located?
hahaha those boots
We adopted our grand dog starting this weekend. We have two older dogs that are small and do not shed that sit on the furniture. Emma (grand dog) is a medium to large dog and sheds very much and we don't won't her to sit on the furniture. We looked at your videos to find answers but have not. We are going to use your videos to train her in other areas, so thank you.
Hello! I have a year old pit we have only had for about 2 and a half months. His training is incredible thanks to your help and the videos (since I live all the way in oregon) haha. He has trouble with barking when he hears other dogs barking, he is more auditory stimulated to bark at them. Its funny because seeing them just makes him happy but when they bark he does and its hard to calm him back down. I mean my boyfriend and I could be watching TV, and if a dog barks on the screen that makes him very interested into where that came from and barks back. How can we make another dog barking into a positive situation for him? We are really working with him is positive reinforcement key? Because it makes us want to avoid walks because of other dogs will bark at him, and thats no fun for either of us. What do you think? :) -Juliana
I love your video, zak. Unfortunately you are not in Sydney, australia. If you live locally i would like to meet you.
I m training my 9 mth old labrador to be more focus with me around other dogs. He is overly excited see other dog while we are walking. He is starting ok in walking but still very excited seeing other dogs. I m training him now like your video and still working progress. Hopefully i will successfully training my pup like Nina.
My dog "Rainbow" was around 4 years old when I got her. I adopted her from the Arizona Humane Society and she came to them as a stray.
Hey Zak, just got a new puppy and i already have a dog whom is a year and a half old, how do i keep the jealousy minimal? I am trying to work on the training with the new puppy but i also try not to just focus on the new pup.its kind of like duel training. I only taught my first dog how to sit and with my new pup i want to go way more in depth with his training while also teaching my other dog if i can. I love your videos, can you give me some advice?
My dog who I have had for 2 months and has been in a rescue home twice goes into zone seeing other dogs and will do anything to get to other dogs to play. I will take a toy with me now when out. Thanks
Look at that, you have special parks for dogs to play in the US!!! :-O Feeling really envious right now for not living there LOL
My dog was 7 weeks old when I got him he is a Australian Shepherd/Collie mix.
thumbs up for nina and zak
Taking a step back ...that's something you're the best at 😂poor dude
I've got my border collie mixed with "boerenfox" named Max 6 weeks ago when he was 1 year and 10 months old.
He's doing great and makes progress every day step by step. Now to work on behaving well when meeting other dogs….that's realy an issue
hi i have a kelpie x border collie named hunter and hes about 1 and a half now. he a few tricks and the basics but has trouble with lie down and he will not stay on the ground, its becoming challenging to get him to do it! any sugestions? also i can not train him to sit pretty as when he sits he puts both legs to one side and if on the odd ocasion and he does sit properly i try and he just goes up onto his hind legs...... any sugestions on that? he is a very talented little man and picks up extremily fast on tricks when he wants to and very slow on other tricks if hes not up to it or just doesnt like it...... this makes it dificult but is not an issue as i love to spend time with him no matter what so i get injoyment out of just throwing the ball just like does he! but would love to further our knowledge and training but are just a bit stuck at the moment and would love some help.
I got my GSD when he was only 8 weeks old. Been training ever since then and he's 3 years now!
Terrific! I'll bet he's awesome!
He is my little star! :)
Sorry I know you posted this 4 months ago but I was wanting to ask about your dog's weight. My GSD is 44KG at exactly 1 year old. Is this a normal weight? He doesn't look fat and isn't remotely lethargic. But is this on the big side? I can feel his ribs without actually feeling for them. Any advice?
Toisestars619 My dog is 96 pounds (43 KG) and he is now 4. Your dog sounds like he is at the perfect weight. Many German shepherds are even bigger than ours, so I'd say your dog is an average weight. Can you see your dog's ribs? If you can't see them, he's fine.
***** But my dog is 1 year old and he's heavier than your dog. I wouldn't be able to see his ribs because of his fur. He's a long coat you see.
My pup was six weeks old when I first got her. :)
hi Zak, Do you have any video about problems that when I throw a ball or frisbee my dog runs and gets them but she does not return to me and she shows like she wants me to chase her for the ball? thank you i got a Border colie and she is 1yr and half.
I got my little morkey Yogi at 12 weeks. He did really well with his training until he was 6 months. Then it was like I had to start over again. It was very frustrating. I still don't know what went wrong. I saw your first video a couple of moths ago. I am hoping to get the training back on track now. He gets distracted very easily. TFS all your knowledge of the training in the videos.
Carol, your experience with your puppy is very normal!! Puppies are often glued to us at first (just long enough for you to let your guard down lol) then after a few months they start getting much more interested in exploring and interacting with the world around them, and testing their boundaries... It's very much like a "teenager phase" ;) The best dog trainers are always prepared to take a step back in their training to patiently remind their dogs how they've been taught to behave! Try not to get frustrated and enjoy this super fun time with your pup!
Did you know that your ads are for Cesar Millan seminars? TH-cam should get the message that because we like you we'd like him, or Tyler Muto, or Leerburg... Two different genres.
