In case you need to catch up, here is a playlist with ALL of Biscuits’ episodes in order: tinyurl.com/BISCUITSedition We hope you’re enjoying this series as much as we enjoyed filming it! Let us know what you think and give us your requests for future videos here!! We cast Biscuits the rescue puppy because of all of your comments 🙌 What kind of dog do you want to see next?!?
My dog keeps peeing in the house I’m seven and last night she was just chilling with my dad and peed on floor and couldn’t stop.. I don’t know if it’s a blatter control problem she’s 17 weeks and tomorrow she is going to the vet!
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
Zak: Believe me, this is so refreshing compared to other TH-cam dog trainers who simply just pull, tug, jerk and generally teach the dogs to be scared of the trainer. Keep going please as you just cannot go wrong !! Thank you so much 😊
@@TechGirl84 cant even walk his dog on the leash without pulling after 2 years....and you call that a trainer?! without the editing of the video he would look bad
Zak I'm picking up my new Cockapoo in September his name is max I've been watching you videos and I am impressed with your style I watched other trainers and you by far are the best. SOME TRANERS ARE RUDE THE WAY THEY TRAIN. FOR EXAMPLE THIS ONE TRAINER PULLED THE LEASH HARD ON SOME DOGS VERY RUDE WAY TO TEACH A PUPPY. I WILL LEARN YOUR STYLE YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE AWESOME THANK YOU .I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MAX.
I love that you guys are honest about each situation and not only showing perfect behaviour each time. It gives me hope each time for me and my six month old puppy.
I think you demonstrating humor when “one “ INCLUDING trainers make errors is a HUGE skill people don’t realize is EXTREMELY helpful to prevent frustration. Such emotion on the part of both participants has a big impact on the results and everyone’s attitude towards training.
Thanks Zak & Bree for keeping it real. So often my clients' will comfort their dogs at night cuddling & soothing to where their crate training for nights goes seriously south. Looking forward to seeing how Biscuits does. Thanks for the new series. Loved your comments about socialization is not about being Social, but about being accepting of their environment. Thanks!
Potty training is always easier said than done, lol. Nova only had about 5 accidents when I brought her home at 3 months old. Mochi, on the other hand, came to me at nearly 2 years old and had so many accidents in the house the first month. But I somehow potty trained a 16-year-old blind-deaf mini poodle...
I’m glad to see you training a small dog, I live in a community where many people have small dogs and they have not done anything about training them. It’s very frustrating as I work hard to keep my young Collie Making good choices when so many dogs that we pass in our community are completely unschooled
I love how these series show us real time training and real situations. I've seen other youtube dog trainers only saying what we need to do, not showing how, or giving examples with already trained dogs; and it doesn't actually help to go through difficulties, like potty training. But with your videos, I feel I can actually learn how to act and understand my puppy during these scenarios. Thank you Zak and Bree for all the effort, keep it coming!
Me and my wife got a puppy a week ago and he's had very little accidents 4ish in 8 days I say ish because one my wife put him in the crate for the night without taking him out first so that kinda didn't count. And another he went at the back door wile I was putting on jacket to take him out so he knew to go outside I just wasn't fast enough. So all in all he's been really good for house for house training
You two crack me up! 🤣😂 Zak sleeping with the puppy and Bree with Inertia! Nobody is in a crate at night. My seven dogs are going to want to live with you.
Thank you for talking about being tired, caving and puppy parent mental health! My puppy is 14 weeks, things are improving but sometimes we're exhausted and have setbacks especially in the housetraining and biting areas. She's not my first puppy and I've had several foster dogs so I was starting to wonder what's wrong with me! It's nice to know even for an expert everything isn't always smooth and easy!
Zak really said “the welfare of the puppy comes first” about the crate training as if he didn’t want those adorable puppy snuggles! I mean, who wouldn’t!
We have had larger dogs (well, huge dogs) for so many years. Now we have two small dogs (11 pounds and 8 pounds). We have found it was much more difficult to house train the two small ones than larger dogs. Other people have said the same thing. Don't know why that is, but that's been our experience and the experience of many other people. So if you have a little dog and having an issue with house training, don't despair. They will eventually catch on!
It took my dog forever too! I did not think she was ever going to catch on. I found that she had a preference. She likes rugs. I broke her of that with frequent walks. Also I feed squirrels in my back yard now so she is eager to go out there to smell new smells! Potty training little dogs is soo hard! But soo worth it!
@@sebg2086 - And they show times that don't go "perfectly" (hard to achieve), like this episode with potty training, and many while working with Chop, George and Moira. Of course, there's editing - they can't include every minute of every day - people wouldn't watch it, especially the mundane times. Zak is showing not only training sessions, but the "oops!" moments that everyone with a new puppy or dog experiences, and how to manage them and move forward.
Very encouraging to see you have the same challenges as I’m having with my puppy - somewhere in my head I think because you are such a good dog trainer, you won’t have any problems. Thanks for being real.. 😘
Have always given my dogs treats when they go in an appropriate area then repeated "go potty" followed by "good dog". Eventually they all go on command. Some people will say do you want to have to have treats all the time to which I respond, for the convenience, Hec Yeah! Most dogs will eventually go on command for just a "Good Dog" and maybe an occasional treat reinforcement. Very handy in bad weather or at hotel rooms with specific dog potty areas or before getting into the car. I just wonder if other people do this.
Treats totally backfired for mine lol. She would fake going (squat but not going potty) or interrupt herself to get the treat. So we stopped doing that after a few days. I just used the verbal encouragement of "good girl, potty outside!" helps her get the idea now too when we are in a rush.
Love how kind you are to your dogs. filming training videos out in the real world have so much value to me then a trainer training in perfect conditions. 👍👍 potty training a 5yo adopted dog 🙄 patience
I think you both are doing great with Biscuits.. I mean she’s so young..so .. she’ll learn…and her cuteness overload feature.. how can you get upset with her🤣🤣👏👏💜💜💜💜
I would love to see a senior rescue Doberman Pinscher included in your series one day. I really enjoy the work you both do. I look forward to your show every Sunday.
I don't think I've ever seen my puppy watch the TV so intensely than her watching this episode! Especially when Zak says YES I think she thinks it's for her.
Just before you started training enertia my cousins got a visla, it was their first dog they called it banjo. and every time me and my brother visited them 70% of the words they said to the dog were just no no no no ALL THE TIME and now i realised that its better to reward the things the dog did well and not punishing when the dog did something wrong! :)
Love this Zak. Bree you got this. You need to think like a puppy brain not a 34 year old human brain. Loved how Inertia is looking at Biscuts thinking. You shouldn't be going potty in here.
Not me, just a couple of people who are in very busy careers and don’t have time to be consistent. I find that’s most likely why they had prolong potty issues. As a friend, I won’t judge them. They have doggy doors. For what ever the reason the longest I heard is 2 years. Yes, I thought Oh, WOW! I can say they have turned out to be really lovely dog pets. My friends love them.
We got our pup about a month ago so we’re a few weeks ahead of biscuit, but we did the same thing when teaching crate training! In the beginning he would fall asleep in our laps and we’d put him in his crate once he was settled. We did the same when he got up in the night, and over the weeks made that a shorter and shorter ritual until now he sleeps through the night and self settles. So proud!
You truly are great with these pups! I've just discovered you yesterday. I was trying to find tutorials on bonding with my senior dog but your puppy videos have already helped so much! Both of my dogs learned three commands in one day! They're both blind and deaf, 16 years old and were both fearful dogs. They've made a ton of progress in just 24 hours. Thanks!
I just love you guys, it's wonderful that you show how things really are when training a puppy, that no matter how many times you take them out to pee they still have one more left for the house. It's how you have to think outside the box whilst keeping calm that's the challenge and you do it brilliantly 🤩 Inertia is gorgeous when playing with biscuits. Looking forward to next week's episode 😊
We popped into a cafe today and our little pup weighing 13lbs. fell asleep in my arms. She slept on even though I ate a sandwich and had a coffee. Once she's on my lap she totally relaxes. Our bigger dogs were always on alert, just keeping an eye on everything, such a difference.
Brie's comment about the mental health of the puppy owner at the end was really interesting and important. That might be helpful to talk about in a future video. Raising a puppy can be really stressful and exhausting, especially if the puppy is also waking at night. You also have to adjust to having someone else living with you and your whole routine changing. It's something that can be unexpectedly hard for some people.
I am newly married and currently going through chemo, got a cute 4 month ols puppy and it is totally stressing my husband out with the potty training and eating my books after three weeks. I love the videos!!!!
I love that you are so real. Thank you for your honesty. It inspires me. Like I can’t say of course biscuit would behaves, Zax is a professional dog trainer. I love this series. I am about to get a long hair Chihuahua on the 21st.
She did such a good job at the park! We have a small dog that is high energy and leash pulling is definitely an issue. She is just so excited to explore the environment and it’s hard to avoid accidentally reinforcing the tugging with her 10 pound body. Great tips to see how you are managing that with Biscuits. Side note: Inertia’s face during that peeing accident Biscuits had in the house is hilarious
I would recommend all new dog and puppy owners to watch you. I just got a puppy but was unsure where to start training or what method to use. Thanks to you now I feel confident and less anxious as a new owner.
You guys are just amazing. We are getting a puppy soon and I've been watching your videos non-stop for a while now. Thank you for all that you both do. :)
We have a 13 week old Australian Shepherd Husky mix. I took your advice and training with the meal. I can't thank you enough for that advice. She is so responsive to the training. She was getting a little bored with the same five tricks so I've been teaching her how to Hi-5, pound it ,dance, bow, big speak, little speak and Whisper.
You are doing well Bree, don't worry😁 potty training really takes time for Biscuits and I feel like she's a toddler still learning her basics for choosing spots to poopy. I think that she poops inside the house because of security while doing her business. She feels safer there instead of doing it outside 🤭 Hopefully it won't take so long.
Brilliant cue for getting your dog to come, while playing fetch. I’ll start using that immediately. My puppy loves playing fetch, not so much coming when called.
🤔Ummmm, I'm rethinking a puppy. Maybe an older yet young dog...say, one to two years old. I know, I know. It doesn't mean it'll be any less challenging. LOL Looking forward to seeing Biscuits progress. Keep 'em coming, guys.
Loving this series already! Definitely got the real world stuff happening! 🤣 Every puppy will be different, some are gonna take a little longer to toilet train, some might struggle with separation, it doesn't mean that you don't have a smart dog, it means that YOU have to get smarter! Good thing Zak is pretty smart! 😁
I went to puppy classes at local Petco, and I feel like I wasn't taught as much as what you've taught on your channel. My rescue dog has pretty bad fear aggression, and I wish I corrected her earlier to prevent this.
Hey, I just recently discovered your channel and have been putting your methods to practice with our 13 year old Siberian husky, Sadie. She is a counter surfer and struggles with “leave it”, “look at me”, “sit”, and “come when called” (although I do suspect that last one to be a hearing issue possibly) She is completely unmotivated by toys but very motivated by treats and her food. In just one short week, she has started looking at me in the eye, leaving an item if I tell her to, and will sit for me and come to me about 50% of the time when I call her. For 12 years, She would only ever do these things for my husband for some odd reason. 😂 Just wanted to say, I love the videos, they are great to watch and to learn from! I’m curious about your dog, Indiana, I saw her in a few videos and haven’t seen her again. She was so sweet! I’m loving biscuits! What an adorable little pup!
I want to share with you our experienc about potty training with our sweet three-month-old puppy: First of all, it is important that the access to the place where the puppy will pee and poop is comfortable and easy to reach, therefore it is not recommended at all to use a bathtub or a box, they learn very quickly to be independent. Dogs also pee to mark their territory, they don't always empty their bladder all at once. That's why we put flat pads (you can also use a towel that you can wash for reuse) in several areas of the house. We don't have carpets at home, it is recommended to roll them up for the potty training period if you can. Our puppy poops after eating or before the next meal, and pees after drinking and napping. It is very helpful and effective to follow the puppy's routine, which changes with growth. For example, dogs that eat more often because of potty training (getting snacks) will poop more often. Dogs are very attracted to carpets, towels, bedding, blankets and they should be out of reach so they don't pee and poop on them. Please do not put food over the pad or where you want the puppy to learn to poop and pee, dogs don't do that in the area where they sleep and eat. Our puppy sometimes poops in hidden places: under the table, bed, sofa, behind a piece of furniture but most of the times she poops on the pad surface or close to it - our puppy learned it very quickly. 🐶💗 In the following months, after the puppy has received the three vaccinations, we can also teach her to poop and pee outside. We are currently dealing with biting and eating anything the puppy finds on the floor, the difficulty is mainly outside the house. Good luck to all of you🐾🙏🐾 Train your puppies with lots of love and patience🦮💗 🐕🦺💗🐕 Bless you all⚘️🙏🌷
Even though our "puppy" is 1.5 years, I still learn things from your videos...Also, I am wondering if you might not keep Biscuits as your "#2"....I am not sure you are going to be able to give her up. Thanks again
Zak, Thank you so much for your patient and loving training style! Caesar Milan says make the dog feel calm, you make me feel calm & confident to train my new little one! When you fell asleep that was hilarious 🤣
I seriously think Biscuit is going to be part of the George household before training is done. Bree looks just so comfortable with Biscuit in her arms and visa versa. I love Biscuit.
hahahaa! it happened to me also! my puppy was afraid of the dark, so I decided to play with him until he gets really tired. of course i fell asleep. I woke up 3.00 in the morning and puppy was sleeping next to my pillow. he has been sleeping there ever since (he is 2,5 years now)😄
Potty training my dog was much more of a time investment than it was a challenge. As soon as I figured out when she would need to go it wasn't long until she would only have about 1 accident per week and and she was trained about 6 months of age.
I was taught that for toilet training you don't want to interrupt the puppy mid poo or wee when they have an accident - as this can be interpreted as a punishment/scary thing by puppy making them not what to go in front of you and start hiding their toileting. I love you guys and understand that human habits/nature kicks in sometimes and we make errors, but I'm surprised to see you both doing this to Biscuit.
The only time I have stopped it was right before they even peed with an excited hey let’s go to snap them out of it and get them out the door but I agree that you shouldn’t interrupt them if they are already full in the motion
FINALLY. I know this was filmed a while ago but I wanted to comment so bad about the harness being on backwards in the first two episodes 😅 but then I thought I was going crazy and that maybe it WAS on correctly. I’m glad it was fixed though 😂
It took me a year to get my dog consistently potty trained. I adopted her as an adult and I don’t know if she had spent much time indoors at all. We got about 90% there very quickly and then just….stalled out.
I always got bamboozled by my small puppy too! The amount of times my husband and I had to ask “is she sitting or peeing?” Was way too much to keep track of!
yeah, i hate it when i see people outside walking their small dog and literally just....pull it along without even looking when it wants to stop somewhere, or wanders off, and not just once but like, for the whole stretch of the street where i can see them. just makes me wonder, what exactly do you have your dog FOR, if not you two to interact, and to teach them how to o things safely and in a way that doesnt (seemingly) annoys you everytime you go out with them? i dont get it. i cant have a dog right now, or if im unlucky ever, but man id absolutely love to spend as much time as needed with them to grow that bond and train them to be a dog id like to have. ugh.
I think maybe smaller dogs also just need to go potty more often... smaller bladders? My Japanese Spitz puppy was going potty every 20-30 minutes; I had to have multiple pee pads indoors just in case I didn't get her out in time. But my Border Collie puppy only went every 1-2 hours. And this is both from 8 weeks old.

Now, Biscuits sleeping in Bree's lap. That is cute! That is adorable. One advantage of a small dog is they can take a lap nap.
Lol my 90lb dog thinks he can still nap on my lap 😂
@@JemiQui77 My Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds thought they were lap dogs--and they gave it their best effort!
My saint bernard is a lapdog :P
The look on Inertia's face when Biscuits potties on the rug is killing me softly 😂

Hello Jessica, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
We have had larger dogs (well, huge dogs) for so many years. Now we have two small dogs (11 pounds and 8 pounds). We have found it was much more difficult to house train the two small ones than larger dogs. Other people have said the same thing. Don't know why that is, but that's been our experience and the experience of many other people. So if you have a little dog and having an issue with house training, don't despair. They will eventually catch on!
They have a smaller bladder
Small dog = small bladder
Harder head!😆
It took a few weeks to potty train our German Shepherd/Lab. It took a year and a half for my PomChi. Ugh!
It took my dog forever too! I did not think she was ever going to catch on. I found that she had a preference. She likes rugs. I broke her of that with frequent walks. Also I feed squirrels in my back yard now so she is eager to go out there to smell new smells! Potty training little dogs is soo hard! But soo worth it!
Chop was pure chaos and love mixed into one.

Also, I relate to these potty training woes. I had this puppy for 6 weeks and he will still surprise me with accidents at the weirdest times.
Thank you for making this new puppy series with a small dog. You, Bree and Inertia are the Best, Cheers 🙂

Brie's comment about the mental health of the puppy owner at the end was really interesting and important. That might be helpful to talk about in a future video. Raising a puppy can be really stressful and exhausting, especially if the puppy is also waking at night. You also have to adjust to having someone else living with you and your whole routine changing. It's something that can be unexpectedly hard for some people.
…and producing 2 series simultaneously while training her has its set of challenges too!🤯🤣☺️
Hello Emily, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
I am newly married and currently going through chemo, got a cute 4 month ols puppy and it is totally stressing my husband out with the potty training and eating my books after three weeks. I love the videos!!!!
You are doing a great job. I love the little pup. She is adorable.
Hello Judy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
I love that you are so real. Thank you for your honesty. It inspires me. Like I can’t say of course biscuit would behaves, Zax is a professional dog trainer. I love this series. I am about to get a long hair Chihuahua on the 21st.
Hello Annie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
She did such a good job at the park! We have a small dog that is high energy and leash pulling is definitely an issue. She is just so excited to explore the environment and it’s hard to avoid accidentally reinforcing the tugging with her 10 pound body. Great tips to see how you are managing that with Biscuits. Side note: Inertia’s face during that peeing accident Biscuits had in the house is hilarious
Hello Michelle, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Her little barks 😊😊❤❤❤
Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
I would recommend all new dog and puppy owners to watch you. I just got a puppy but was unsure where to start training or what method to use. Thanks to you now I feel confident and less anxious as a new owner.
I would love to see you train a Saint Bernard!!!
Because I have a saint bernard who is not trained to be around people and barking at them.
Emmie the 8 week boston terrier who just joined my channel is having a lot of these issues so this is perfect and right on time 👌👌👍
Idk if you'll see this but on your last video I commented about a husky and I am wanting to to know if you know how to help
Loving this series!! Always enjoy hearing what Bree has to say. "It's still coming out!" lol.
Don't beat yourself up bree, my first border collie was a dream to potty train however my second was an nightmare, biscuits will get there😊😊
Hello Michelle, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
You guys are just amazing. We are getting a puppy soon and I've been watching your videos non-stop for a while now. Thank you for all that you both do. :)
Hello Christine, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Im planning on getting a puppy one day, and your vidoes help prepare me for one. Love your vids, thanks a lot!
She’s precious
We have a 13 week old Australian Shepherd Husky mix. I took your advice and training with the meal. I can't thank you enough for that advice. She is so responsive to the training. She was getting a little bored with the same five tricks so I've been teaching her how to Hi-5, pound it ,dance, bow, big speak, little speak and Whisper.
Oh how I laughed when he whipped out the miniature frisbee 😂 Should have seen that coming
You are doing well Bree, don't worry😁 potty training really takes time for Biscuits and I feel like she's a toddler still learning her basics for choosing spots to poopy. I think that she poops inside the house because of security while doing her business. She feels safer there instead of doing it outside 🤭 Hopefully it won't take so long.
The scenery in this one is just awesome!
Brilliant cue for getting your dog to come, while playing fetch. I’ll start using that immediately. My puppy loves playing fetch, not so much coming when called.
Have to also say how much I appreciate that you actually had a challenge potty training, and fessed up. My first several weeks were tough.
that tiny frisbee is so cute !!
OMG. Inertia's face while Biscuits is peeing on the rug: Priceless🤣🤣🤣
Alaska sure looks beautiful. And biscuits taking the nappy on Bree is adorable!!
Biscuits did great with her come training!!
You should keep her. Clearly you all love her. We can tell Inertia does, too. Such a cutie.
Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
🤔Ummmm, I'm rethinking a puppy. Maybe an older yet young dog...say, one to two years old. I know, I know. It doesn't mean it'll be any less challenging. LOL Looking forward to seeing Biscuits progress. Keep 'em coming, guys.
Loving this series already! Definitely got the real world stuff happening! 🤣 Every puppy will be different, some are gonna take a little longer to toilet train, some might struggle with separation, it doesn't mean that you don't have a smart dog, it means that YOU have to get smarter! Good thing Zak is pretty smart! 😁
I went to puppy classes at local Petco, and I feel like I wasn't taught as much as what you've taught on your channel. My rescue dog has pretty bad fear aggression, and I wish I corrected her earlier to prevent this.
Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Hey, I just recently discovered your channel and have been putting your methods to practice with our 13 year old Siberian husky, Sadie. She is a counter surfer and struggles with “leave it”, “look at me”, “sit”, and “come when called” (although I do suspect that last one to be a hearing issue possibly)
She is completely unmotivated by toys but very motivated by treats and her food.
In just one short week, she has started looking at me in the eye, leaving an item if I tell her to, and will sit for me and come to me about 50% of the time when I call her. For 12 years, She would only ever do these things for my husband for some odd reason. 😂
Just wanted to say, I love the videos, they are great to watch and to learn from!
I’m curious about your dog, Indiana, I saw her in a few videos and haven’t seen her again. She was so sweet!
I’m loving biscuits! What an adorable little pup!
12* not 13* sorry for the typo
I want to share with you our experienc about potty training with our sweet three-month-old puppy:
First of all, it is important that the access to the place where the puppy will pee and poop is comfortable and easy to reach, therefore it is not recommended at all to use a bathtub or a box, they learn very quickly to be independent.
Dogs also pee to mark their territory, they don't always empty their bladder all at once. That's why we put flat pads (you can also use a towel that you can wash for reuse) in several areas of the house. We don't have carpets at home, it is recommended to roll them up for the potty training period if you can.
Our puppy poops after eating or before the next meal, and pees after drinking and napping. It is very helpful and effective to follow the puppy's routine, which changes with growth. For example, dogs that eat more often because of potty training (getting snacks) will poop more often.
Dogs are very attracted to carpets, towels, bedding, blankets and they should be out of reach so they don't pee and poop on them.
Please do not put food over the pad or where you want the puppy to learn to poop and pee, dogs don't do that in the area where they sleep and eat.
Our puppy sometimes poops in hidden places: under the table, bed, sofa, behind a piece of furniture but most of the times she poops on the pad surface or close to it - our puppy learned it very quickly. 🐶💗 In the following months, after the puppy has received the three vaccinations, we can also teach her to poop and pee outside.
We are currently dealing with biting and eating anything the puppy finds on the floor, the difficulty is mainly outside the house.
Good luck to all of you🐾🙏🐾
Train your puppies with lots of love and patience🦮💗 🐕🦺💗🐕
Bless you all⚘️🙏🌷
Even though our "puppy" is 1.5 years, I still learn things from your videos...Also, I am wondering if you might not keep Biscuits as your "#2"....I am not sure you are going to be able to give her up. Thanks again
The biscuits series is off to a great start!
My puppy 🐶 is always finding stuff in the grass too!!!
Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Even my dog loves watching your videos!
Hello Angela, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Biscuits is adorable I really cant wait for more keep up the awesome content zak
Zak,
Thank you so much for your patient and loving training style!
Caesar Milan says make the dog feel calm, you make me feel calm & confident to train my new little one!
When you fell asleep that was hilarious 🤣
Hello Karen, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
I seriously think Biscuit is going to be part of the George household before training is done. Bree looks just so comfortable with Biscuit in her arms and visa versa. I love Biscuit.
hahahaa! it happened to me also! my puppy was afraid of the dark, so I decided to play with him until he gets really tired. of course i fell asleep. I woke up 3.00 in the morning and puppy was sleeping next to my pillow. he has been sleeping there ever since (he is 2,5 years now)😄
Hello Annika, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Oh my goodness Biscuits is soo adorable 🥰 and of course Inertia, I love Inertia 🥰 Great video 😊
Hello Carmel, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Waiting days for this! Yes!
I've got a 2 year old pup, this is very helpful.
Thanks!
Potty training my dog was much more of a time investment than it was a challenge. As soon as I figured out when she would need to go it wasn't long until she would only have about 1 accident per week and and she was trained about 6 months of age.
We're having issues with leash biting and nipping in general so please keep these puppy training videos coming! 😅
Zak, you have a great speaking voice !
I was taught that for toilet training you don't want to interrupt the puppy mid poo or wee when they have an accident - as this can be interpreted as a punishment/scary thing by puppy making them not what to go in front of you and start hiding their toileting. I love you guys and understand that human habits/nature kicks in sometimes and we make errors, but I'm surprised to see you both doing this to Biscuit.
The only time I have stopped it was right before they even peed with an excited hey let’s go to snap them out of it and get them out the door but I agree that you shouldn’t interrupt them if they are already full in the motion
Hello Layla, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
FINALLY. I know this was filmed a while ago but I wanted to comment so bad about the harness being on backwards in the first two episodes 😅 but then I thought I was going crazy and that maybe it WAS on correctly. I’m glad it was fixed though 😂
Literally what I wanted d... Tysmm
Inertia is so cute with her
It took me a year to get my dog consistently potty trained. I adopted her as an adult and I don’t know if she had spent much time indoors at all. We got about 90% there very quickly and then just….stalled out.
Thank you need it the recall
Loving this zak, I have a 5 month old frenchie and your training tips are awsome. ❤️
Hello Dawn, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Pro tip the best way to get a slow recall is be a stationary handler , their baseline is follow things that move
Is this a prequel to a new series? Zak steps back and Bree trains the puppy? These series make me feel so much better. Bree is a amazing too!
She certainly has a lot of character for her size 😅 But she is really adorable ❤
I always got bamboozled by my small puppy too! The amount of times my husband and I had to ask “is she sitting or peeing?” Was way too much to keep track of!
😆 I feel this
yeah, i hate it when i see people outside walking their small dog and literally just....pull it along without even looking when it wants to stop somewhere, or wanders off, and not just once but like, for the whole stretch of the street where i can see them. just makes me wonder, what exactly do you have your dog FOR, if not you two to interact, and to teach them how to o things safely and in a way that doesnt (seemingly) annoys you everytime you go out with them? i dont get it. i cant have a dog right now, or if im unlucky ever, but man id absolutely love to spend as much time as needed with them to grow that bond and train them to be a dog id like to have. ugh.
Hey Zak She is so cute I am hooked already lol
Biscuits is so stinkin' cute!! I think she's a little to young to be having high expectations for potty training. She's not a BC you know.
Hello Jenny, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Zac will you ever train a dog that is blind or deaf
I think maybe smaller dogs also just need to go potty more often... smaller bladders? My Japanese Spitz puppy was going potty every 20-30 minutes; I had to have multiple pee pads indoors just in case I didn't get her out in time. But my Border Collie puppy only went every 1-2 hours. And this is both from 8 weeks old.
That’s what I was saying I think they may need to take her out more as she’s smaller.
Hello Chelsea, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Добрый вечер! Отличное, красивое видео
The way inertia looks at biscuits at 16:35 when she pees on the floor
😂
