Here is a playlist with ALL of George's episodes in order: th-cam.com/play/PLMssKIjsDxXlccrlEasmxW54YpIagtWp8.html
Thank you for being here!! Leave a comment and let us know what you think about this series, and give us your suggestions for future videos!! 🤩
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.
Wonderful episode again 👍 Why hasn't any baseball manufacturers jumped at the opportunity to use George as their posterboy 😅😅 " The Ball you can't take your eyes off" 😁😆
I love watching the bullies get the spotlight for all the right reasons! I have a bully mix that has been accused of being aggressive for doing the same play jumping as George did with the baseball, when all he wants is to play and be a puppy having fun!
I love that at 2:29 as you're bouncing the baseball & talking about his love of it, George comes trotting around the corner like he's been summoned 😂⚾️💚🖤💚
lol
So nice to see what many would consider a "stubborn" or "willful " breed respond so positively to positive reinforcement. No need to "dominate" or force compliance.
Zak, if you do a wrap-up video can you talk about any struggles you may have faced that were breed specific? George is so great, but I think it would be great for those considering a bully-type breed to know what they may have to deal with.
@@richardcope9803 lots of kisses
It's really impressive how responsive George is to your 'no' and 'leave it alone' commands, I know you ideally want him to be listening to you in the first instance but I remember the episode where you first introduced him to that concept and now he's even listening to that command from you when it comes to his absolute favourite thing in the entire world, his ball!
I was thinking the same thing, and it's probably because he doesn't use it all the time or devalue his firm tone by using it for no good reason, unlike some trainers who use a lot of far harsher corrections and just end up desensitizing dogs to general correction, or causing other issues with confidence, drive, fear or aggression.
I love how in the beginning you are just tossing the baseball in the air and you can see George come charging in the background 🤣
I was wondering who would notice that 😆
2:27
This is my favorite episode of training with George. Bully breeds can be so intense and seeing you break down different ways of addressing that and working through it is so valuable. Thank you!
Yes! They are smart, but can be hyperfocused in the wrong direction. The stubbornness can be epic lol
Just love George. If you don't keep him, he will need his own channel lol.
This is the best series ever! I’d love to see you do this with more shelter dogs. It’s awesome to give them this chance!!
It's amazing. I hope he gets a show on Animal planet. Dog owners around the country need to be learning from Zak! He's helped me so much.
I used to have a pointer dog which I tought the bar jump trick too. Boy, did I regret that because next thing she began jumping over very very high fences.
It's a matter of will. Man vs animal. Or I this case, George vs George 😂🤣
I'd actually like to see George's reaction to being walked in the rain.
I recognize the face of an almost meltdown during training. That was me with my dog’s first screen saver training (I was asking too much, too soon).
I'm really going to miss this George series, he is such a good man
Loving these reality series! Would love to see you working with an anxious/timid dog. The kind that runs away with tail between the legs instead of lunging at… They tend to get overlooked in shelters too because they try to hide from people and don’t win them over compared to the outgoing dogs. Thanks for all the effort you put in to helping people with their dogs
Best like always! Ather teens idols are singers or actors or models,your mine! Your the first force free trainer that is that great and passionate about it! Not only taught me how to improve my dog but helped me not be being too tough on myself,you taught me that sometimes taking a step backwards it's okay,and it's okay to do mistakes. I realized I was being way to rough on myself due to the misinformation on social media. "How I fixed my dog issues within 5 minutes" "train your dog not to be reactive in a day". Thank you so much for being honest and showing your mistakes.
Wow this episode showed that George has a mind of steel! Even though his fixation with the baseball is sooo intense that he stops when you say, "No"! He definitely is toy driven and he wants that ball but he still listens to you! Another fantastic episode watching him restrain himself when the baseball is presented in fron of him. Also, awatching him jump the hurdlew was super fun! Thank You for another wonderful episode!
George’s love of baseballs rivals the Beast from the Sandlot. He is such a great dog!
I recently rescued a old pit bull and he’s supper lazy and ultimately untrained. It’s been about 6 months since I had him and I’m no glad I found your videos. Hes improving so much and I can’t wait till we try his training outside😁😁😁😁
I have a 3 month old Alaskan Klee Kai and I’ve been using these videos to train him. People come up to me all the time (mainly because he’s so cute) but also because he’s so well-behaved!
Thank you Zak George!
I LOVE GEORGE. PLS KEEP HIM😍😍😍
He’s so funny George wants that ball so bad he’s drooling 🤤😂
I think someone played with George with a baseball when he was a puppy . He seems to have been animated to play with it with the same words that are now meaning he should not run to that ball . It is very sad that no one can know what he has learned already , before he went to the shelter . :-( But a really great success , congrats and thumbs up !
Through this series I started to love pitbulls! George is such a smart man just seeing him refrain from going after it because you told him no, actually going against his own instincts is super impressive. he's so smart I would love a dog like him in the future
I recognized that hypnotized look that George has in his eyes😂My foster dog is a very energetic pittie like George and he is completely OBSESSED with his toy balls. I’ve had such a hard time getting him to look, or listen to me when there’s a ball in the room. This is SOOO helpful. Thank you, Zak and Bri!
Can’t get over how cute George is as he’s so fixated on that ball 🤣❤️❤️
Sorry all I can do is laugh what a good boy he is very clever.he has little sneaky looks at you
I so love George!!! 😍
I love this series with George 😍! Thank you so much for making these great TH-cam videos I have found them so helpful! You and Bree are really good people. Thank you for giving rescue dogs like George and Moira a second chance! BTW are you going to check in on Moira? I'd love to know how she's doing. 😁🐾💗
Yes! And another update on Kona would be awesome, too. Thanks Zak & Bree!
I love this series with George. I'm training my lab/rottie and you have helped me so much. Hey, I'm trainable. Lol
This is my favourite series 😀💕
Teaching a dog to jump is great! But a cautionary note. Be sure that your dog is healthy before you start increasing the jump's height. Second, be sure your dog is old enough to jump higher heights. How old will that be? Depends on the dog. Smaller dogs will probably be okay at about 1 year of age. Danes and Wolfhounds? I won't start raising bar height for Danes and Wolfhounds until they are 2.5 YEARS of age. Your vet can give you a good idea of when it's okay to increase bar height. But even young puppies can learn the concept of "jump". They just can't jump very high until they are fully grown and their growth plates are closed.
Aww, bless! I love his reaction when Zak threw 'the tone' at George when he went for the blue ring, and he put on the brakes immediately and lied down. It's like he said "oh bugger, sorry, I thought you meant I could have it now."
I wait for new George videos more than any other TH-cam video. This is such important work bc as you say, there are emergency times like in a street or if the ball was a child. Great work, Zak! You let George have fun, but teach responsible pet owner behaviors. You rock!👍🏻🐶 Love hearing Bree give you and George support in background! What a super team you are!💕
Congrats to this smart pup and to the patient teacher ❤ i love to see his progress
After this series is done, Zak can you please post a vid featuring Inertia? The updates on other socials are great but a longer video would be exciting!
I'm currently training a 3-month-old Belgian Malinois puppy who already has the most powerful focus I've ever seen. Still finding ways to get her to focus the "right things", like Mom and Dad. Fortunately, she is very food-driven and I have had some success with certain treats.
There's a reason they're bred to be bork bork nomnoms. 😁 Have fun! 🥰
I have one too, he was exactly like that before but food in training is not interesting anymore. He is very toy driven but when he sees a dog or gets up a scent it’s almost impossible to get his attention 😮💨 he is 10 months now
I binged all eps and was mad that i had to wait for a new one. So happy now that this is out lol
I taught my puppy to jump in and out of the bathtub. He wants to play that game everyday. Really handy for his weekly bath.
Good idea!
You got this 🐾
George = oooooo baseball 👁
Zak = baseball ….arch nemesis 🙅🏽♂️🤦🏻♂️
Wooo you are being challenged hehe. I have had a similar issue with a newfoundland who could not resist carrying the adopted hedgehog with one amputated leg around. Ronja (her name) was a search and rescue dog. It ended with "wanna go see hedgy?" became a great enforced during training.. It made me wonder about dog's ability to delay a reward or strategizing for future rewards. Lots to be learned. Cheers from Denmark.
I absolutely adore George, even when he is being thus craY about the ball. And this training series makes me feel much better about our own not so perfect training progress with our puppy. Thank you Zak
As always thank you Zak and Bree for sharing your family with George ❤️
I just want to say, thank you. Watching your video has helped me become a better owner for my dog. You make me want to be better.
2:26 lol here comes George
this is the intensity my pittie has with our cats!! Needless to say, the cats have their own domain in the house now that our Roxstar cannot access. Getting a hold of a baseball, and getting a hold of a cat, are two totally different things, and not something I want to chance! I am so glad you are doing these rescue/foster episodes. They tackle an entire different type of training than puppy training. And honestly, everyone else on youtube is doing puppy training, Im SO happy you are doing the different/harder (in my opinion) types of issues. Keep it up!
I think this is your best video yet. Seeing you get so creative and have to do trial and error is so interesting and really shows your expertise.
Really enjoying this series, i wish there was more time
What a gorgeous boy I cant wait to see him fully trained what a gorgeous boy xx
Your videos are awesome.
This video is gonna help me so badly! I needed this video! Thank you! I cannot wait to implement your strategy and work with a dog trainer soon as well!
I love watching your videos. The reality dog training episodes are my favorite. George is absolutely amazing and I’m so glad you chose to work with him so he can get adopted, some dogs in shelters really need some extra help to get adopted (especially pit bull type dogs). Keep up all of your amazing work
Wow! George is really progressing keep up the good work Zak.😉😉
Great work you are doing!
Get someone who looks at you the way George looks at that ball 🤩 Just found your channel as we prepare to bring our first foster who's reactive on leash into our home... Cannot express how valuable these videos are!!
Again, an excellent video, particularly for bull terriers who have a fixation. Thank you very much.
Really loved the idea of working your way up the list of reinforcers in terms of which ones George is most driven by. Definitely something that will be added to my toolbox!
Welcome to rescue/fostering! It's a wonderful thing to do and you're exactly right--you can educate so many people about homeless animals, bullie breeds, etc. Maybe you'll even inspire some other folks to foster. Without foster homes, rescue couldn't work at all. And it can be difficult to pick the "right" family, but very often you'll "know". Things just "click". I don't know how to describe it any better than that.
I love this series so much!!
I absolutely love that you are saving these dogs
Brought back a memory of my bull-necked Police Standard Puli, big as a mature GSD, who had 2.5 years of bad habits when he came to my care. Speaking of fixated, he did not know what to think of cats. First time he saw a black country cat, a feral, on the far side of a six foot deep by 10 foot wide weed and skunky water ditch, the feline checking out our approach, Shandor struggled like George to get at it, dragging me with my anchored heels dug in. The cat naturally ran off. Every day for six months, as we walked that route, him learning to heel on a loose leash, he always grew excited, paused, halted to stare in the direction of that long gone cat's spot across the ditch, stationary, totally fixated upon where, he, Shandor first saw it. What a memory my boy had! Curious whether George has expectations, maybe doggie-dreams at night, he will find another baseball in the same spot he found the first one if only you, Zak, will pass by that way again. Belief in the Law of Attraction is strong in that one. 😊🤗😄😁 Look how it netted him you and Bree!!
Love your videos Zak George
I've been loving the Hec out of this series...I wish it never ends
He really does want to please. Wonderful post.
I’ve lived in places where sometimes you don’t see the sun but a couple times a year and the rest is rain and/or snow (SE Alaska). If I waited for sunny days to walk, it would’ve been a long time. Trust me, the dogs don’t melt and neither do you! LOL
that really annoyed me too, people of the UK would never walk a dog if you didn't in rain or snow
With George it's the ball, with my dog it's the cat. There is nothing we've discovered yet that is more interesting than the cat. To be fair she doesn't want to hurt the cat, just play, however her exuberant puppy energy completely overwhelms the cat. I know you are frustrated at times in this video but honestly it is really commendable that you've gotten to the point that the ball can lay on the ground and George chooses to come to you! It is a true showcase of the great communication and bond you've built with George!
I love George, how can you not keep such a good boy 🥺
I feel like that baseball deserves a place on the mantle. Like a trophy! I know it’s a process, but I’d call that progress victory.
One of the best video in recent time
I love this training with George. Anybody to give superficial advise on how to fix serious problems in 10 minutes. The reality is for those of us that have to “smooth out turmoil” in our training, the 10 minute guys have no clue. Seeing how it takes time, patience and knowledge for a long road. So glad you are discussing energy levels. Most people don’t get that. I do. I understand completely. I had to spend 20 minutes to get a tennis ball out from my Malinois. Finally did it by throwing 3 tennis balls out. When I threw one she would drop the other. Then when she got really tired, she took a high dollar treat. Ready to practice your stategy. Thanks Zac, You’ve got this. Keep them coming. This is great.
uugh i wish my brother wouuld do this with his dog. he found a bully breed dog in a forest in east texas and its a good dog but it needs training. its possible!!! george has grown a lot
Ur dedication to wards ur work is really marvelous u hv a lot of patience and an excellent wife to appreciate ur work.Im following ur steps to train my dog still need to do more thanks fr this show.All dogs luv u.
George George....has a good ring to it...
He needs a painting and to be a George family member, you guys bonded so well...
Omg, your reaction when he came to you (when he got water) got me emotional. This episode was so valuable and amazing! I love George and all your videos. And those pupford training treats! The best. My 4 month pup impresses me, and it is thanks to you. ❤️ All my love to you and Bree! What a team.
can we all agree on thing that his music selection IN EVERY SINGLE INTRO AND VIDEO is just too insane?
First off, I love watching your training of George and I have 2 English bull terriers. My girls watch along and seem to have learned from you just by watching you - lol. I employed your techniques from you and they picked up a lot of the commands easily
This is a great series. I'll enjoy seeing different breeds. Let's go Giant Schnauzer!
Im convinced true dog trainers like Zak are angels
Nice! I'm amazed at the progress you made with George over the baseball from beginning to end. He's almost there and I'm sure he'll get it. It's amazing too to see George's transformation of pound puppy to a great house pet. If it's not you guys that will keep him, I sure hope he goes to a great person who will keep up with his training. Also, it would be nice to know how Moriah's doing.
Look at that 'sit pretty'!!! 😻😻😻 Omgosh George is so good at that now!! Ummm, the baseball 'leave it' not quite so much 😂 but how hard is he trying!!?❤️❤️❤️
George not only looks identical to my brothers lab pit mix Lennon but he has the same problem. A huge bundle of joy that’s well behaved but can never resist a toy especially a tennis ball or his rope. He cares more about them than food even.
Loved watching your training videos and love that you use shelter dogs. I have 3 rescue Border Collies and one is a rehome from last year. She's a very quick learner but quite a challenge. 🙂
I really appreciate this series. It's one thing to read a book with advice in it or a video that has things going smoothly and edited to show you consistent progress, but I think this video in particular does a great job of capturing how important the roles of patience, persistence, determination and consistency are in dog training. Nothing happens overnight, and seeing Zac meet George where he's at and put in whatever is required to get him to where he needs to be is very inspiring. It reminds us that dog training is sometimes frustrating, and that's okay
I love to see that an amazing trainer like you is also struggling. It makes me feel better about myself.
You are my favorite dog trainer. I'm impressed and blessed by your love for animals. My heart is blessed because of you. We are not to compare ourselves with others but you are gifted with such a love for animals that blessed my heart so much- so much that I tried to get a animal rescue guy (group) to watch,listen and enjoy (learn) but I believe (for now) his ego has his heart held captive- regardless of reasoning with this person that he could hold on to the good he would learn (as God gives) but I think his ego disallows this. But- you are a blessing and quite enjoyable to watch,listen and learn from. The lord continue to bless you, in Christ Jesus name
Love these videos, please consider fostering a very anxious dog. My adopted dog is constantly finding more things to be scared of and I struggle teaching him to be comfortable when one storm or firework can set us back to ground 1 so quickly.
5:15, he's even drooling hehe my german shepherd is exactly like that with her jolly ball. But fortunately that's something she CAN have when I say it's okay lol Quick question though - Could it be that George's first owners did play with him with baseballs and they couldn't control his excitement, so they turned him out or took him to the shelter for being too "unruly"..? That could help explain why he fixates on it so intensely.
15:17 *"MY MINDS TELLING ME NOOOOOO, BUT MY BODY, MY BOOODYYYY TELLING ME YESSSSS"*
Amazing WORK with the baseball ⚾️ training. Wow 👏🏾 Good job Zak and good boy George.
Still makes me giggle when I saw Inertia eat Nom Nom by the table like a people :D
I’m still watching so maybe you say this, but I really think whatever his situation was before he became a stray the only play/attention he got was with a baseball.
Just what I was thinking! That breaks my heart!
That is a great theory!!!
Omg that dog got so close to that baseball. SO CLOSE! I'm really impressed with his restraint even if he's absolutely not perfect. (I'm at around 14 minutes here.) I'm just seriously impressed when dogs are able to show this kinda restraint, cause they definitely can just get it if they really want to. I feel I should challenge my pup a bit more watching this.
Great series thank you, helps a great deal 🙏
Loving the series but you have to give us a Inertia pupdate! I miss that goofy girl.
Absolutely luv how far he’s come in such a short time ❤
He’s like superman prb SUPERGEORGE
This serie is absolutely awesome! There isn't a lot of dog training videos adapted to older dogs that were adopted from shelters. :p
Before I found your channel, all I could find were focussed on puppies and were not always adapted for my older rescue dogs.
Our first dog (a mountain bernese X) was about 6 years old when we adopted him about 2 years ago and our new one (a spanish greyhound rescued from hunters in Spain) is about 3 years old and she's been with us 1 month!
I'm happy to start training with her following your videos, just like I did with my big boy!
Your videos really helped me a lot and my relationship with them is getting deeper and deeper!
Thanks so much from Quebec! :D
