      @@anvime739 he does mark what episode it is, just not on the title part. Like with the George series (it's very hard to see but- he puts what episode it is in the corner of each video before I press on the video to watch it....I don't know how to explain it, but he could add it onto the title too so it's easier
      Like you can see under, "Reality Dog Training " on the picture of the video that it's episode 1

    I've never read a book so fast! th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.

    THIS IS the dog I just adopted from the shelter. No human interaction previously, apparently. But fearful at first. Now a 60 lb baby 11 month old. She’s learning. Impulse control is the hardest. And I’m 71 so I’m no spring chicken. But I’m committed, so here we go.

    It would be great to see a series with a dog that has severe anxieties and fears most thinks. There are lot of dogs like that in shelters that need a home.
    I adopted a dog that was scared of pretty much everything and everyone. I had to be creative and find different methods to work with her. When she's scared she doesn't take treats. It was hard but so rewarding to see here change for the best.

    • @napyhed4754
      @napyhed4754 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. My girl was returned twice to the shelter for behavioral issues. The simple truth is she is scared. Nobody showed her how to live in our world. She has gained 20 pounds and we developed a bond since I adopted her. She is a handful and these reality videos give me hope. Maybe someday we can walk in a normal place with people and dogs...

  • @cathunsworth7915
    @cathunsworth7915 2 ปีที่แล้ว +87

    Fascinating to see a dog learning sit from a zero start. It’s rare, as owners, we see that, given most breeders, shelters and fosters will have at least taught sit (if nothing else). But spending time with very nervous former street dogs, like many of my clients, these are the starting points for them. It’s all about building a bond. Helping them to learn we are predictable, not scary.

      @aessidhe6304 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Chop is learning well so far with minimal distractions. It's amazing to see his progress so far when he really didn't know anything before you got him. I'd be really curious to see what his DNA is for sure. I'm thinking there might be some Shepard in there. Keep up the great work! I know there are challenges coming up, but these videos are so helpful!

    The intro to this series is awesome, but I have to literally cover up the screen when he jumps off the balcony. The first time I saw that happen in the preview video, I cried for 10 minutes. You guys must have done the same, I’m sure. Loving this series! I started watching George because I’m going to try and train my sister-in-law’s pittie in a few months. He’s about a year old and doesn’t listen or do anything except “sit.” All of this is so helpful to see, especially seeing it in the very tiny increments of the most basic commands.

    Next time, can you please choose a nervous or insecure dog? Despite our best attempts at tons of positive socialization experiences, starting from week 9 of age, my now 1 year old dog is still super insecure around other dogs and is even too nervous to go on walks in our new neighborhood (lived here for 6 months now!), likely because it's full of dogs...

    The way this video had some extra narration and explanations built into it made it so much better. We get to see how to use it in a real setting and cut to a more “lecture” type or eye to eye to break that real setting moment down. It also gives you a chance to elaborate on your thoughts more of a special moment. Great video!!!

    It’s great to see he’s fine after his great balcony leap! One of my dogs, now 7 yrs old., was completely untrained when I got her from a rescue. Her first two years of her life were spent on a chain in a concrete yard with minimal human interaction. It was a rough go for the first few months to build trust and to understand what I expected from her. She bid now one of the best dogs I have ever had. Chop is going to amaze us too.💕

      My wife's dog had a similar start to yours. He lived like that for three years until he was able to escape. It's been years now but he greets people with a wag and is a good boy. He still has anxiety attacks when there is thunder but it's gotten so much better. It's really rewarding to get a dog that is feral and then love him until he see you as the best thing ever.

      I saw that jump and it made me giggle. It's something my dogs would do if they were given a chance. Also makes me think he's got a little husky in him. Huskies are escape artists, and you need those tall fences or they'll get out.

    • @maryantico3399
      @maryantico3399 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My impression after seeing the balcony leap footage is that Chop may have been seriously injured or possibly killed by the bear. The balcony is pretty high up and since he has likely never been in that type of situation he might not have had any understanding of height hazard.

    This is an amazing series. I'm now noticing just how much editing is done with other tutorials on training. This addresses so many questions I have about understanding and pivoting to training that is the most effective~and the importance of first earning a new dog's trust. There are many "recipes" in training dogs~but it is so important to understand the body language of the dog because that helps you gauge if the dog is being receptive to the "training". Meaning to say, you can do all the steps to get the job done, but what is missing is understanding emotionally what is going on here~which you so eloquently address in this series~thank you Zak George!

    If I have to shape any behaviours in little tiny steps as you had to do with the "sit", I use a clicker. It just works better for me when I need to be really precise. Often I end up just capturing things like "sit", "down" and "speak" as they happen.

    Also, I love gardening, how can I stop the dog 'helping' with the digging, and digging up my bulbs, creating mounds, and earth dens, and even from going on the flower beds in the first place.? I love that she likes to get involved, and that she enjoys the play, I'd also like to keep my Mums memorial garden in good nick! 😐👍

It's interesting to think about how Chop would behave if someone took the time to train him when he was younger. Anyways you are doing amazing Zak! I can't wait to see more of Chops progress

    Love these videos - trying to get the basics down with our two puppies. Well teenagers I guess now since they are almost 7 months old. Walking on a leash is horrible with Hero. Libby is a puller but not as crazy and wild as what Hero does. Hoping to gain some tips on these videos to help us with the journey. They took a manner class but its been real to try to get them settled and well behaved. Thank you Zak for giving us your wisdom.

    I've been checking on and off a lot of the day, due to our time difference most of my day has been your day 6! Nice to see Chop picking up the basics quickly, his reactivity is going to be a big problem and I'm interested to see how you work on that. My dog is great with other dogs but takes a dislike to some men, particularly in work wear (prev home I believe) he is the worst type with no warning just straight in for the Collie nip, not sure how to get him out of it, not sure I ever will :( It's midnight here now so off to bed enjoy your day with the gorgeous Chop!

    Chop looks like a gentle giant and an intimidating wolf at the same time 👀 after watching the reality dog training series, giant dogs are my new obsession :/

      Don't get a dog for the size and/or looks, you might regret it later by being unable to handle his strength or character. Guys I know wanted tough looking breeds (a 4 month old Pitbull and an 1y old, old breed GSD) and are struggling to handle them, regretting the choice.
      What I did is settle on a German Pinscher or smaller look-a-like mixed breeds instead of a Rottweiler or Dobermann since my weight is as much as a large Rotty. I love my medium sized black and tan dogs!

    And here I was thinking that my dog was the only one that backs up when you try to use the treat over the head method.

    I got my dog earlier this year, 3 year old stray, exactly like Chop. Similarly, she did not even know sit. Chop's reaction to other dogs used to be her reaction to anyone and anything when we would go on walks, they could be across the street and down a little and she was blowing up. Unfortunately, she is only 15 pounds so I did not always have such a big meal to work with, but we made it work. Now, almost 8 months later we can walk through PetSmart and other dog-friendly stores (with her lunch to reward) and she does pretty well. I have learned so much from you and I think if it were not for your videos, she would probably still be a mess. Thank you for sharing Zak!
