Hey buddy, all you did was get that dog use to another dog. Nothing impressive here. By the way, you clearly are a professional dog trainer. Its sad that people cant see the obvious. Pinch collars would have worked a million times better. The next dog it sees is just going to set it off again.
I am curious what you have to say about the fact that bribing a dog with food is a questionable strategy also. Dog treats are highly processed cancer sticks. If you're going to do this, get an apple, slice it and use that! If you make your dog fat, that is probably worse than using a choke chain or shock collar. I've seen the results of your technique with lazy owners. That's how you end up with a diabetic dog!
Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution It would be beneficial if you worked with a dog that is legitimately untrained. That dog can do the Wistminster Dog show she’s so well behaved. If the dog doesn’t look in your eye like you demonstrated in beginning should you lift her head? Force her to look? When you’re successful then tape that. Move on. Showing a fully trained dog already doesn’t help the average person who is trying to do it from scratch. But thanks for the try.
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
+Lily Wolf maybe they want to just run after something.i have the same walking problems as you sophia and aeli i have not walked he in like 3-4 years because of that.
I have 2 akitas when one was injured and couldn't run for 8 weeks could only walk she would pull but Charlie he would slightly pull then when he gets off the lead to run about and I call him back he doesn't pull what so ever so I would say that's defos down to basically so much energy that needs to be released
Here’s a method that worked with me. It’s called ‘leash tension’ you have to teach your dog to walk two steps back by putting a little bit of tension on the leash behind there neck, once they step one foot back reward them, and lose the tension. Keep doing this for 2 or 3 days and then when they pull and you put tension on the leash they’ll slow down.

That dog was too easy bro. Nothing like a determined puller I was expecting. Could you do a video with a strong and really determined puller? Thanks for all your vids
He said earlier in the video, you cannot expect your dog to walk properly on a leash if he/she has no other training. You have to work on getting your dogs attention on command prior to being leash trained.
Kurt Langjahr He should be showing a dig that actually doesny behave though. my dog drags me the full way and if Im too slow she will wrap the leash around hrr neck
did u not notice in the beginning he did state that ur dog should have basics (sit, down etc) completely down before moving it up to walking nice on leash...btw some dogs will never pull it's just something that happens and u can't always control it on camera in all scenerios. do u even have a dog? i have a 7mo old deaf Pit Bull who knows all the hand signals for all the basic training steps (sit, down, come, stay, leave it) and i did all that in 2 months by myself. When i got him he knew NOTHING! it takes dedication to ur dog to train them CORRECTLY.
Yeah. Plus all the dogs in his videos aren't really problem dogs. I want to see him with a dog that several "experts" advised to be put down because of extreme behavior. I wan't to see him with a real problem dog.
Eddie Castrejon my olde english bulldogge did that as well. its all puppy behaviour they will grow out of it, my puppy is 4 months now loves it just take them out for a least 5 minutes walk and as soon as they are about to sit just walk back home. or you can just carry your dog down the block and they will 100% sure walk back thats how my puppy learned
I adopted 2 huskies from the shelter 3 months ago. They are both 2 year old plus. I already see improvements with daily training. Don’t give up! It can be done! Get help if needed. Huskies are great as family dogs, and go out on hikes with. Good luck 👍🏼
agreed Zak needs to do a video with a pulling dog like a Husky. I trained my husky to heel but it's difficult for them to not want to pull. we do Urban Mushing together because her pull drive is so high I'd like to see him to try and handle a full grown Husky.
Jessica parks you shouldnt expect your dog to heel for long periods of time. The walk is supposed to be for them to enjoy. Depending on where we're walking, my husky will walk 3-10ft in front of me on a loose leash. Ive taught him the command "slow" when he needs to slow down & "this way" when he needs to look at me because we're changing direction from where he's trying to go. He pulls to the side when he wants to sniff, so "leave it" is also important. He does well on a collar or his harness. It took a good two years to get really consistent communication & still occasionally give high value treats to keep him motivated. I only have him heel if we're in a very crowded area. We go on 3-5 mile walks in a city setting at a time, so lots of distractions.
My dogs aren't foreign to Mushing commands. They know onby, Gee, Haw, hike, and I don't expect my dog to heel all the time lol. I expect my dogs to respect my commands. I think you misunderstood my comment. Thats ok it happens. Let me be a little clearer. I think he needs to show a dog that takes longer than a 15 minute video to train loose leash walking so there's more of an accurate depiction of what the majority of northern breeds face.
Jessica parks You said that you taught heel as an alternative to pulling, so I was responding to that cause lots of people think their dog should walk behind or beside them. I've been a bit lazy to teach directional commands, but need to cause we go hiking a lot when he's off leash and it would be useful if I could tell him which direction to go ahead of time. There are videos out there that claim: stop pulling in 10min etc which just put a prong collar on the dog or do the back & forth walks with dogs that don't pull. I agree that Zach's arent the most detailed videos, they just get you started, but I've repeatedly heard him say it takes months to years to get good communication on a variety of behaviors. Its obvious this dog has had a lot of training, and Zach is showing how to proof a few things. The kikopup channel has more detailed explanations for approaches to leash manners with positive reinforcement/negative punishment.

Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution MY pitbull pup is just 8 months old she is for the most part a good dog I've watched your videos since she was 8 weeks old ... I don't know why she is so vocal very loud as if she's talking to me. she is spoiled but I won't let her be aggressive try to hold me. however she isn't good on a leash and im working on her jumping .. I often wonder if she will protect the house and me I do have her hold and release. now I need to teach her how to attack and hold until I tell her to release. I do make her focus and look at me when training also I don't let her stare me down she turns her head before I take my eyes off of her. not sure if I'm doing everything correct can you give me feedback on what I do right or wrong. thank you
MrBruhFace Plays I adopted the cutest 9 month old pitbull. Took me 2 days (1hr sessions) to teach him look at me, sit, stay and come here commands. But I am having a little trouble with his demand barking and leash training. We been making progress thanks to Zak and all you need is patience
I know this video won’t help me when the dog he is training can sit there and stare at him while he talks to the camera. My dog would be trying to chase every squirrel and smell every tree choking herself out doing wheelies if I stood there that long...
I started teaching a stray two days ago using your method. It has been working really well! If you have suggestions for introducing a dog to cats that would be helpful.
As someone that constantly rescues animals I recommend not using that neck collar, use a full body collar so you distribute the tug evenly on their body and don't choke your doggo. Some doggos are food motivated and others are praise motivated, play around with that Also I'm not a trainer, just what I've seen works better for my rescues
Absolutely wonderful teaching. I just rescued a 10 month old, male American Pit Bull Terrier. The lady of the house trained her very well. Unfortunately, boyfriend wasn't a good person to him. I've been practicing park walking. He is very attentive and willing to please. This video is really a PEOPLE training video. Thank you for your great instruction. I'll be applying these techniques tomorrow and from now on.
Dude I've been walking my neighbors little guy this is very helpful his hyper active he listens but he see a squirrel it ear's up an go I'm going to try this tommorow his name is "BEAR❤️"
This was SO helpful! Thank you very much for all the work that you do. You have made my life with my dog so much better. I feel like we understand each other now. In fact, when he doesn't understand, I simply take it as a challenge rather than getting frustrated. As a result of these videos, I bring a consistency to our relationship that I can tell my dog really enjoys. It allows him to understand my language and gestures, and he is more than willing to please when he simply understands what his crazy human is trying to communicate to him.
This is great and all but, that dog was already trained. 😅. They followed commands instantly. Didnt move when in sit position even with distractions. Would have been nice to see a dog that only knew a few commands or none. Not a dog thats already fully trained.
The only reason I don’t like your videos is because the dogs have already been trained, so I can’t see what normal progress looks like. This dog isn’t pulling or being unruly.
A martingale collar might help since they're hard to get out of (they are wide collars that tighten when pulled so the dog can't slip out) but it probably won't stop your dog from trying to escape in the first place, just make it harder. I must say the other reply about the prong collar is probably right, it'll show your dog that trying to escape results in discomfort.
Hi Zak, I'm new to your channel and so far you have very good info. I have a Siberian Husky. She's 1 year old and I'm trying to get her to stop jumping on me and pretty much everyone she meets. She already busted my lip twice jumping up. I would like to see if you have any advice on training a Sib Husky to be calmer and also pulling is an issue. Thanks a bunch.
Great advice! I've usually trained walking in leash by completely stopping walking when the dog pulls (so they learn they have to walk back a little bit if they wanna get anywhere) and then use a shorter and shorter leash until they walk by my left foot. It has always worked, that is until I got my newest foster puppy who is terrified of cars (I have reason to believe she has been hit by one as she's currently being diagnosed for a knee damage by vets and her tail is deformed). Because of this, she goes bananas on walks so my regular methods haven't worked at all. All the other dogs have understood that we need to walk in the same pace while she is so distracted by her surroundings often combined with fear, also she's barely able to focus on me on walks. I'll try this method and hopefully Barbie will learn to ignore her surroundings a little better 😄
My dog is an exotic bully and he loves to just run alot and so he pulls me for no reason and he is soo strong omg. Check that breed out its an exotic bully and see if you like them
Show me how to train a dog without treats though. I need my dog to be obedient, and we'll behaved regardless of if I have a treat with me. I need the world to come second to my dogs distractions. There are so many things that are better then a treat to a dog out in the world.
⚠️⚠️➖PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER NOR DO I HAVE ANY QUALIFICATIONS. THIS IS JUST MY OWN OPINION AND I WILL LEAVE A SHORTER VERSION AS A REPLY DOWN BELOW➖⚠️⚠️ I have a Springer spaniel who is extremely energetic and gets 4km walks followed by swims daily , and yet is never tired! Even when she was a puppy, if I ever dropped the leash, she would be fine until she heard a slight sound, be it a bird or just the wind in the trees, and off she went and sometimes would be gone for over an hour and I would panic. As she grew up, my uncle told me the reason she was pulling was because 1) she is a gundog. Not trained as one (she's all bark no bite ) but every dog has their hunting instincts, even Chihuahuas! 2) she felt she was being trapped because I kept her on a tight leash to avoid her chasing cats, birds or anything that moved My dog has social anxiety, which means whenever she sees a dog, she'll prick her ears in interest , but instead of pulling to get to them, she'll walk beside me and then lie down and stop once they're in full view. If the dog is smaller she might slowly creep forward and then carefully stand up to greet them, then it's all ok! But if the dog comes over her shoulder height, that's it. She will lie down and let the dog sniff her and then wait for it to leave and I have to bend down to stroke her and calm her before we can set off again. Having social anxiety also means she is really bad in crowds . I am a runner and she is the perfect dog for running but I often do races and a 5km on as Saturday that involve crowds of up to 100+ people and the first time I brought her along , she ran in every direction and screamed. I found that a loose leash helps them relax and not feel trapped, especially if you have an anxious dog which are prone to panic attacks or if they have social anxiety. A trick I also found is that harnesses are THE BEST THING EVER for a dog owner who has pup who pulls. They don't put a strain on their throat because I would find a load of redness around my dogs neck when I walked her with a lead. Another GREAT thing is an extending lead. BRILLIANT for the beach, training or just your everyday walk. I walk my dog off-lead when we do our daily walk as it's a quiet forest and not many people go there, maybe two or three people a day. However, in the weekend I like to walk her in the park, so she is on lead most of the time until I get to this huge bare area full of grass with no distractions. Extension leashes are great because it mean your dog has a little more freedom and you don't have have to sprint beside them to keep up! Please remember I am not a specialist or have any qualifications to give training tips. This is just my opinion and advice that worked for me. Every dog is different and while probably no one is going to use or read this, different dogs use different techniques when training. Don't forget to find your own tricks! I use downhill fetch, where I throw the ball from the top of a hill and my dog has to run downhill to retrieve it and it tires her our easier as she has to run up the hill too! Have a great day❤️
1.) Harnesses are THE BEST THING EVER for a dog owner who has pup who pulls. They don't put a strain on their throat because I would find a load of redness around my dogs neck when I walked her with a lead. 2.) A GREAT thing is an extending lead. BRILLIANT for the beach, training or just your everyday walk. Extension leashes are great because it mean your dog has a little more freedom and you don't have have to sprint beside them to keep up! 3.)Walk them on loose leash. It stops them feeling trapped and it will help avoid any pulling. 4.). Teach them "leave it", it will help so so much. Saved my dogs life once, she tried to eat a fishes bones in my neighbours trash and it stopped her. Phew! It also helps as every dogs hunting instincts kick in once in awhile and the little ducks in the lake or pond suddenly become prey. Just say "leave it" it should help! In order to react your dog "leave it" first show them some everyday dog food. Place it on the found if front if them and say "leave it!" Hold the dog back and then reward her with something better, ham, treats, toys or kisses if they're not into that sort of thing. Repeat until verbal praise is enough for them. 5). Off! Is also a great one if your dog turns into a kangaroo when they see people, especially if they've just been romping in mud and are off lead."Down" means lay down, so "off!" means get off. Wait for the (clean) dog to jump up. Hold both its paws in your hands (carefully!) until it wants its paws back. Then you're going to let go, whilst saying 'off!' DISCLAIMER I got the "off" and "leave it" training techniques from Eric letendre. He does dog training videos that work brilliantly! Thanks!
I wish my dog had too much energy while on a leash. Mine just refuses to walk when he’s on a leash about half the time, we have to literally pull him 🙄
I wish he would encourage harness use rather than a collar. A dog pulling on it's own neck is not good for a multitude of reasons... damaged trachea, neck misalignment, whiplash etc.-Esp a Berner with that much weight behind it's pull. I really do love his simple and positive reinforcement training on a whole! I think this was just an oversight.
Awesome! Love it. It completely makes sense to train your dog to look at you and follow orders in a non-distracting environment, before taking them out in a more distracting environment.
In a misguided attempt not to injure the dog, people are putting their dogs and themselves at risk by using harnesses. Stop using harnesses which are designed to encourage pulling. If you have no control of the head you cannot influence the dog.
No shade but this myth is getting so tired and it’s perpetuated by those primarily using choke chains, prong collars and electric collars. There is zero science to support this statement. And this perspective represents a flawed understanding of why harnesses are used in modern dog training.
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this to be as helpful as it was. You taught me A LOT. Thank you so much! I'm excited to try to train our foster dog to walk on a leash well and this will definitely help if she winds up having this problem. Even if she doesn't, this is good information to know in the future and to help my dog keep his focus when a squirrel is teasing him, which they love to do.
May I ask what kind of treats he gives the dogs to pay attention? I have a 2 year old shih tzu who barks and reacts to everything. if he sees a person or hears another person he doesn't know, he barks. same when another dog or person is walking towards us. I have no clue how to get him to be able to go pat people or other pets without barking and reacting to it.
So bored of this...every single dog walker says treats treats treats..my dog doesn't give 2 shits about a treat while outside on or off leash, so I can't ever figure out how to actually train her
I tried same things on my rottweiler puppy and he is doing great in his day one. He is just 7 weeks old and have learned walking on the leash. Previously he was biting the leash. Thank you again. th-cam.com/video/zpf9EFyYvkk/w-d-xo.html
Scyler McFarlane He did do a leash training video with an extremely reactive dog. The dog was going absolutely insane at everything he saw. But, by the end of the 20 minute video he was way better.
Victoria Stilwell will instantly turn around and walk a few steps in the opposite direction to change the dogs focus. It gets out of sight and the dogs calm down. Repeat every time and give treats/ praise when they behave well.
@@cromizome6692 Then maybe you need a gentle Leader. It's a leash that goes over the snout so when they start pulling their head is pulled to the side. Of course it doesnt hurt, they just don't like it, so they learn to stop pulling.
My German Shepard is now 8 months old. She is very smart and eager to please. German Shepards love to have a task to do. She sits, stays, comes when called, plays fetch, barks when I make a certain hand motion. Great dogs.
One of the main reasons, I don't recommend training dogs with treats is that when it comes to real life scenarios, dogs don't care much about food. I see that you were forcing Bisket to eat and pay attention to you but is she paying attention to you or the treats?
I tried this on my dog - 12 year old Jack Russell. He pulls super hard and he's really strong for such a small dog. This totally freaking worked for him. He's super food motivated and catches on quick so it didn't take him long. Going to keep working with him so it sticks. Thanks so much!!!!!!
Oh noooo one of his dogs is named Alpha? I thought he didn’t believe dogs had any traits of wolf behavior/hierarchy in them and that dogs only attacked out of “fear and mental illness”
Came here because my 1 year old Bernese Mountain Dog is great but LOVES other dogs and people and immediately starts pulling like a tractor when she sees one. Turns out I came to the right place.
HOW CAN WE APPLY FOR ZACK TO HELP WITH A REAL DOG THAT PULLS LIKE CRAZY. This dog looks like it was already trained. My huge pitbull is a muscular beast and literally pulls when i walk him as if hes on patrol. This dog is totally trained! Wth.
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Bark box sucks... and no they don’t... I sent multiple pictures and they didn’t send me anything ... I ended up having 2 a month for both of my pitbulls....... don’t buy the box.... go with someone else.... Plus my pups DESTROYED every toy and ‘Kong’ chewer in a matter of minutes.... go buy ANY treat that will give you the attention you are seeking from your dog..... con artist.... I’m not a pro at all but this is a joke....
Do you support martingale-collars? Do you support the Easy Walk Harness? Do you support head halters? -> If so, which one do you recommend? (Gentle Leader or Comfort Trainer or Halti, etc.)
We live in NYC & have an adorable 4 month old rescue (Long Haired Chihuahua &Terrier mix).Every street is busy & distracting plus we live in a smallish apartment. She pulls on leash like a Mack truck at only 5 pounds. Really need some help teaching her to walk in this insanely busy busy distracting (people not looking & on their phones/cars/trucks/delivery bike guys/loud noises, etc, environment. Thanx Bunny
I am very fortunate to have a smart dog (Aussie/border collie). She learns very quickly but,... is more self-serving than interested in pleasing. So, I train her...and then, ( sometimes) in a week, she refuses to continue. Useful commands like "look at me, sit, come, heal, ring the bell, tug of war, & leave it" are tolerated but playing fetch, lay, quiet, play dead, and other tricks are quickly learned but abandoned due to annoyed dog. She still knows the training. Maybe I am asking too much but why isn't my dog more into the training. Better treats? PS.... Dog really isn't really very stomach oriented,... not really food oriented (weird right?). Maybe a disputed dominance outlook?

my dog literally chokes himself when we go for walks so hopefully I can teach him now
Jayda James I have a dog who did this, one of the best things you can do is to get a harness, since it's not around their neck it won't choke them.
Jayda James good luck xx

Jayda James how does that work out
Stringmaster03 Believe it or not, my dog slips out of harnesses like Houdini. I would prefer using one but I am afraid she will get loose and run into traffic.
That dog was too easy bro. Nothing like a determined puller I was expecting. Could you do a video with a strong and really determined puller? Thanks for all your vids
No he won't because it doesn't work on every dog.
If your dog is pulling then you have to take time to step back and train in a less distracting environment like inside your house or in the backyard
I need him to do a walking video with a truly unruly dog, Biscuit before any training was already walking fine
He said earlier in the video, you cannot expect your dog to walk properly on a leash if he/she has no other training. You have to work on getting your dogs attention on command prior to being leash trained.
Kurt Langjahr He should be showing a dig that actually doesny behave though. my dog drags me the full way and if Im too slow she will wrap the leash around hrr neck
Kurt Langjahr Still, he has a dog that already walked fine. He could come and try my 1 year old Shiba Inu, walking with him is a disaster.
He has other videos of that, really extreme
I want to see him work with a bulldog or a Boston because I have mix breed and doesn't do anything!

my dog eats my hair
I'm a Huskamute I pull on my human all the time. She's 12 so she has to run
I know your a dog lmao
agreed Zak needs to do a video with a pulling dog like a Husky. I trained my husky to heel but it's difficult for them to not want to pull. we do Urban Mushing together because her pull drive is so high I'd like to see him to try and handle a full grown Husky.
Jessica parks you shouldnt expect your dog to heel for long periods of time. The walk is supposed to be for them to enjoy. Depending on where we're walking, my husky will walk 3-10ft in front of me on a loose leash. Ive taught him the command "slow" when he needs to slow down & "this way" when he needs to look at me because we're changing direction from where he's trying to go. He pulls to the side when he wants to sniff, so "leave it" is also important. He does well on a collar or his harness. It took a good two years to get really consistent communication & still occasionally give high value treats to keep him motivated. I only have him heel if we're in a very crowded area. We go on 3-5 mile walks in a city setting at a time, so lots of distractions.
My dogs aren't foreign to Mushing commands. They know onby, Gee, Haw, hike, and I don't expect my dog to heel all the time lol. I expect my dogs to respect my commands. I think you misunderstood my comment. Thats ok it happens. Let me be a little clearer. I think he needs to show a dog that takes longer than a 15 minute video to train loose leash walking so there's more of an accurate depiction of what the majority of northern breeds face.
Jessica parks You said that you taught heel as an alternative to pulling, so I was responding to that cause lots of people think their dog should walk behind or beside them. I've been a bit lazy to teach directional commands, but need to cause we go hiking a lot when he's off leash and it would be useful if I could tell him which direction to go ahead of time.
There are videos out there that claim: stop pulling in 10min etc which just put a prong collar on the dog or do the back & forth walks with dogs that don't pull. I agree that Zach's arent the most detailed videos, they just get you started, but I've repeatedly heard him say it takes months to years to get good communication on a variety of behaviors. Its obvious this dog has had a lot of training, and Zach is showing how to proof a few things.
The kikopup channel has more detailed explanations for approaches to leash manners with positive reinforcement/negative punishment.
Can you give me any training tips on how to get my dog to STOP looking at me? This is getting creepy.
😂😂😂😂
My pointer drags me around the block. I just hold on

Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution
MY pitbull pup is just 8 months old she is for the most part a good dog I've watched your videos since she was 8 weeks old ... I don't know why she is so vocal very loud as if she's talking to me. she is spoiled but I won't let her be aggressive try to hold me. however she isn't good on a leash and im working on her jumping .. I often wonder if she will protect the house and me I do have her hold and release. now I need to teach her how to attack and hold until I tell her to release. I do make her focus and look at me when training also I don't let her stare me down she turns her head before I take my eyes off of her. not sure if I'm doing everything correct
can you give me feedback on what I do right or wrong.
thank you
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolutio
Zak I have a 3 yr old rottweiler and she wouldnt let us train her what do i do?
MrBruhFace Plays I adopted the cutest 9 month old pitbull. Took me 2 days (1hr sessions) to teach him look at me, sit, stay and come here commands. But I am having a little trouble with his demand barking and leash training. We been making progress thanks to Zak and all you need is patience
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution I've got a Bernese Mountain Dog!!! Thay are the cutest!!! Great hacks!!!
Me: "Stop pulling so hard, you're choking yourself!"
My dog: "Don't you fucking kink shame me!"
im liking cause its a bernese!
i have 2!!!!!
Aren't they great dogs? I love them!
Sebastian Alzate I just got mine 3 days ago and I'm in LOVE 😍
Congrats!!! I love my 2 huge puppies lol.
god bless your bernese!
I have 2 Bernese mountain dogs too😅 they are like cute small bears
Sebastian Alzate I have a Bernese mountain dog service dog! He’s Merle blue soo cute
I've been keeping up with you for the past year my pitbull mix is just amazing thanks to YOU
Juanita Heard i hope my upcoming shih tzu will be aswell
I know this video won’t help me when the dog he is training can sit there and stare at him while he talks to the camera. My dog would be trying to chase every squirrel and smell every tree choking herself out doing wheelies if I stood there that long...
Diskoo D other way is you do a U turn
Love this video, but I think it's a little unrealistic. Biscuit isn't hyper and pulling like a lot of dogs who need this training...
I started teaching a stray two days ago using your method. It has been working really well!
If you have suggestions for introducing a dog to cats that would be helpful.
Gangsterpixie bob
You should bring a stray to a shelter. He could have an owner!

My dog pulls for no reason what so ever lol
It's so she doesn't get pregnant lol
Michelle Vo ya dame
what if my dog doesn't care about treats when sees a distraction....
Dog breathes:
Zac: LET ME TELL YOU HOW GREAT “insert ad” IS
As someone that constantly rescues animals I recommend not using that neck collar, use a full body collar so you distribute the tug evenly on their body and don't choke your doggo.
Some doggos are food motivated and others are praise motivated, play around with that
Also I'm not a trainer, just what I've seen works better for my rescues
I ordered bark box.. and it's been a terrible service..3 months I only recieved one bark box.. get a new sponsor.
Same 😢😢😢and I got a dented box once
Absolutely wonderful teaching. I just rescued a 10 month old, male American Pit Bull Terrier. The lady of the house trained her very well. Unfortunately, boyfriend wasn't a good person to him. I've been practicing park walking. He is very attentive and willing to please. This video is really a PEOPLE training video. Thank you for your great instruction. I'll be applying these techniques tomorrow and from now on.
You rescued him, was he in a burning building and you ran in to save him
What to do if a dog just lies down and won't go any further when she sees another dog? Or when she runs away and don't react to his name? Thanks
I need this guide for my German shepherd golden retriever mix who thinks a leash is a toy
Shybam
lol.
I have a golden retriever and she keeps bitting the leash and when she doesnt want to walk anymore she sits and doesnt move at all
Fa1L if she doesn't want to walk anymore then don't
Shyan omg same problem with simalor dog mines a German shepherd
Shine hi I'm Ohia I'm on my owners acount....again😈😈😈DON'T TELL HER SHE'D BE MAD and the leash is a toy...
Dude I've been walking my neighbors little guy this is very helpful his hyper active he listens but he see a squirrel it ear's up an go I'm going to try this tommorow his name is "BEAR❤️"
This was SO helpful! Thank you very much for all the work that you do. You have made my life with my dog so much better. I feel like we understand each other now. In fact, when he doesn't understand, I simply take it as a challenge rather than getting frustrated. As a result of these videos, I bring a consistency to our relationship that I can tell my dog really enjoys. It allows him to understand my language and gestures, and he is more than willing to please when he simply understands what his crazy human is trying to communicate to him.
This is great and all but, that dog was already trained. 😅. They followed commands instantly. Didnt move when in sit position even with distractions. Would have been nice to see a dog that only knew a few commands or none. Not a dog thats already fully trained.
I am 10 and I trained my golden retriever to do it on my own, he needs a bit of practice but he doesn't pull as much now :)
TH-cam Passerby congrats ;)
+MinthShivers AJ Why thank you. I am very proud of that accomplishment. He is very happy in his sex dungeon now
I'm a fetus. I trained no dog to do anything.
I'm an idea, I like dogs.
TH-cam Passerby It worries me that a possible 8 year old (at this point) little kid is making jokes about sex. What is wrong with today's generation?
The only reason I don’t like your videos is because the dogs have already been trained, so I can’t see what normal progress looks like. This dog isn’t pulling or being unruly.
my dog pulls on the leash and even know how to get out of the leash and the harness. how can I stop him from getting out the harness.
a prong collar will fix that in 5 min.
A martingale collar might help since they're hard to get out of (they are wide collars that tighten when pulled so the dog can't slip out) but it probably won't stop your dog from trying to escape in the first place, just make it harder. I must say the other reply about the prong collar is probably right, it'll show your dog that trying to escape results in discomfort.
Hi Zak, I'm new to your channel and so far you have very good info. I have a Siberian Husky. She's 1 year old and I'm trying to get her to stop jumping on me and pretty much everyone she meets. She already busted my lip twice jumping up. I would like to see if you have any advice on training a Sib Husky to be calmer and also pulling is an issue. Thanks a bunch.
Great advice! I've usually trained walking in leash by completely stopping walking when the dog pulls (so they learn they have to walk back a little bit if they wanna get anywhere) and then use a shorter and shorter leash until they walk by my left foot. It has always worked, that is until I got my newest foster puppy who is terrified of cars (I have reason to believe she has been hit by one as she's currently being diagnosed for a knee damage by vets and her tail is deformed). Because of this, she goes bananas on walks so my regular methods haven't worked at all. All the other dogs have understood that we need to walk in the same pace while she is so distracted by her surroundings often combined with fear, also she's barely able to focus on me on walks. I'll try this method and hopefully Barbie will learn to ignore her surroundings a little better 😄
My dog is an exotic bully and he loves to just run alot and so he pulls me for no reason and he is soo strong omg. Check that breed out its an exotic bully and see if you like them
I now this is stubid but can pet flow get food to another countrys?
Show me how to train a dog without treats though. I need my dog to be obedient, and we'll behaved regardless of if I have a treat with me. I need the world to come second to my dogs distractions. There are so many things that are better then a treat to a dog out in the world.
This doesn’t work well for my dog. He looks at me, listens, then takes the treat and attempts to run/pull
⚠️⚠️➖PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER NOR DO I HAVE ANY QUALIFICATIONS. THIS IS JUST MY OWN OPINION AND I WILL LEAVE A SHORTER VERSION AS A REPLY DOWN BELOW➖⚠️⚠️
I have a Springer spaniel who is extremely energetic and gets 4km walks followed by swims daily , and yet is never tired! Even when she was a puppy, if I ever dropped the leash, she would be fine until she heard a slight sound, be it a bird or just the wind in the trees, and off she went and sometimes would be gone for over an hour and I would panic. As she grew up, my uncle told me the reason she was pulling was because 1) she is a gundog. Not trained as one (she's all bark no bite ) but every dog has their hunting instincts, even Chihuahuas!
2) she felt she was being trapped because I kept her on a tight leash to avoid her chasing cats, birds or anything that moved
My dog has social anxiety, which means whenever she sees a dog, she'll prick her ears in interest , but instead of pulling to get to them, she'll walk beside me and then lie down and stop once they're in full view. If the dog is smaller she might slowly creep forward and then carefully stand up to greet them, then it's all ok! But if the dog comes over her shoulder height, that's it. She will lie down and let the dog sniff her and then wait for it to leave and I have to bend down to stroke her and calm her before we can set off again. Having social anxiety also means she is really bad in crowds . I am a runner and she is the perfect dog for running but I often do races and a 5km on as Saturday that involve crowds of up to 100+ people and the first time I brought her along , she ran in every direction and screamed. I found that a loose leash helps them relax and not feel trapped, especially if you have an anxious dog which are prone to panic attacks or if they have social anxiety. A trick I also found is that harnesses are THE BEST THING EVER for a dog owner who has pup who pulls. They don't put a strain on their throat because I would find a load of redness around my dogs neck when I walked her with a lead. Another GREAT thing is an extending lead. BRILLIANT for the beach, training or just your everyday walk. I walk my dog off-lead when we do our daily walk as it's a quiet forest and not many people go there, maybe two or three people a day. However, in the weekend I like to walk her in the park, so she is on lead most of the time until I get to this huge bare area full of grass with no distractions. Extension leashes are great because it mean your dog has a little more freedom and you don't have have to sprint beside them to keep up! Please remember I am not a specialist or have any qualifications to give training tips. This is just my opinion and advice that worked for me. Every dog is different and while probably no one is going to use or read this, different dogs use different techniques when training. Don't forget to find your own tricks! I use downhill fetch, where I throw the ball from the top of a hill and my dog has to run downhill to retrieve it and it tires her our easier as she has to run up the hill too! Have a great day❤️
1.) Harnesses are THE BEST THING EVER for a dog owner who has pup who pulls. They don't put a strain on their throat because I would find a load of redness around my dogs neck when I walked her with a lead.
2.) A GREAT thing is an extending lead. BRILLIANT for the beach, training or just your everyday walk. Extension leashes are great because it mean your dog has a little more freedom and you don't have have to sprint beside them to keep up!
3.)Walk them on loose leash. It stops them feeling trapped and it will help avoid any pulling.
4.). Teach them "leave it", it will help so so much. Saved my dogs life once, she tried to eat a fishes bones in my neighbours trash and it stopped her. Phew! It also helps as every dogs hunting instincts kick in once in awhile and the little ducks in the lake or pond suddenly become prey. Just say "leave it" it should help! In order to react your dog "leave it" first show them some everyday dog food. Place it on the found if front if them and say "leave it!" Hold the dog back and then reward her with something better, ham, treats, toys or kisses if they're not into that sort of thing. Repeat until verbal praise is enough for them.
5). Off! Is also a great one if your dog turns into a kangaroo when they see people, especially if they've just been romping in mud and are off lead."Down" means lay down, so "off!" means get off. Wait for the (clean) dog to jump up. Hold both its paws in your hands (carefully!) until it wants its paws back. Then you're going to let go, whilst saying 'off!' DISCLAIMER I got the "off" and "leave it" training techniques from Eric letendre. He does dog training videos that work brilliantly! Thanks!
My mum dislocated her scolder cause my dog was pulling sooooo mutc
I have a Bernese mountain dog too Her name is bear and she is 10 weeks old and she’s huge
wow challenging!
I hope I can get the same success with my pup
beautiful dog btw
TH-cam Passerby Stop. Just stop.
My dog just stop in the middle of the side walk for 1 hour
we tried those things you do at the video and it worked at our dog....THANKYOU☺️😊
I wish my dog had too much energy while on a leash. Mine just refuses to walk when he’s on a leash about half the time, we have to literally pull him 🙄
Honestly same. Mine pulls on leash even if there's no distraction. He doesn't listen/get trained even with his favourite treats outside
Great video! Awesome to see you showing the path to success in a park with real distractions. Very helpful!

Jamietard3 OMG STRESSED OUT!!!!
21 pilots is fucking gay
Braxton because their fans like their trash music
Braxton nah its still trash
I wish he would encourage harness use rather than a collar. A dog pulling on it's own neck is not good for a multitude of reasons... damaged trachea, neck misalignment, whiplash etc.-Esp a Berner with that much weight behind it's pull. I really do love his simple and positive reinforcement training on a whole! I think this was just an oversight.
I love this! Including a person who also struggles was connecting. Zack is my favorite trainer to learn from on TH-cam.
My dog takes me for a walk lol she is more heavy than me ( think so )
Wow that golden is so focused on his owner!
U r lying it doesn’t work at all😫😭😭😡😡
When I get a rottie i'm going to train it to walk beside me even if it takes forever
Awesome! Love it. It completely makes sense to train your dog to look at you and follow orders in a non-distracting environment, before taking them out in a more distracting environment.
what do you do if your dog isn't treat motivated?
I love the look at me technique. It works beautifully!
In a misguided attempt not to injure the dog, people are putting their dogs and themselves at risk by using harnesses. Stop using harnesses which are designed to encourage pulling. If you have no control of the head you cannot influence the dog.
No shade but this myth is getting so tired and it’s perpetuated by those primarily using choke chains, prong collars and electric collars. There is zero science to support this statement. And this perspective represents a flawed understanding of why harnesses are used in modern dog training.
@@zakgeorge Historically harnesses were used on dogs that pulled carts, sleds, et al. What scientific studies can you provide to refute this position.
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this to be as helpful as it was. You taught me A LOT. Thank you so much! I'm excited to try to train our foster dog to walk on a leash well and this will definitely help if she winds up having this problem. Even if she doesn't, this is good information to know in the future and to help my dog keep his focus when a squirrel is teasing him, which they love to do.
May I ask what kind of treats he gives the dogs to pay attention? I have a 2 year old shih tzu who barks and reacts to everything. if he sees a person or hears another person he doesn't know, he barks. same when another dog or person is walking towards us. I have no clue how to get him to be able to go pat people or other pets without barking and reacting to it.
Thank you I love your training methods
How do I get my dog to look at me while I'm walking? She's so stubborn and so uninterested in learning I'm about to give up. Please help me!
Sunny was so well trained,applause for Angie!
So bored of this...every single dog walker says treats treats treats..my dog doesn't give 2 shits about a treat while outside on or off leash, so I can't ever figure out how to actually train her
instructions unclear i just drowned my fish.
I tried same things on my rottweiler puppy and he is doing great in his day one. He is just 7 weeks old and have learned walking on the leash. Previously he was biting the leash. Thank you again.
th-cam.com/video/zpf9EFyYvkk/w-d-xo.html
Yes! This is what I needed
Scyler McFarlane he has video on this topic actually I just saw it there
Scyler McFarlane He did do a leash training video with an extremely reactive dog. The dog was going absolutely insane at everything he saw. But, by the end of the 20 minute video he was way better.
Victoria Stilwell will instantly turn around and walk a few steps in the opposite direction to change the dogs focus.
It gets out of sight and the dogs calm down.
Repeat every time and give treats/ praise when they behave well.
My dog attacks me when I do this
@@cromizome6692 Then maybe you need a gentle Leader.
It's a leash that goes over the snout so when they start pulling their head is pulled to the side.
Of course it doesnt hurt, they just don't like it, so they learn to stop pulling.
I'm Thinking To Buy A German Shepard
What is Your Opinion
My German Shepard is now 8 months old. She is very smart and eager to please. German Shepards love to have a task to do. She sits, stays, comes when called, plays fetch, barks when I make a certain hand motion. Great dogs.
newj90 olmn
Crazy PAR good idea! I have an 6 month old
Crazy PAR great dogs
I have 5 GSD. I'm also a trainer and love them. good luck and blessings to you
One of the main reasons, I don't recommend training dogs with treats is that when it comes to real life scenarios, dogs don't care much about food. I see that you were forcing Bisket to eat and pay attention to you but is she paying attention to you or the treats?
The swans are like HELLLLLLLLLLLL NOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Useless
I tried this on my dog - 12 year old Jack Russell. He pulls super hard and he's really strong for such a small dog.
This totally freaking worked for him. He's super food motivated and catches on quick so it didn't take him long. Going to keep working with him so it sticks. Thanks so much!!!!!!
I had to get one of those collars with spikes on it and a harness. She sometimes escapes out of both lol but over time she’s gotten more tame :)
You named your dog Biscuit... I can no longer view this video.
James Arnold it's not his dog. It's someone else's...he owns 3 border Collies: Nova, Alpha (Centuri), and something else that's space related.
Oh noooo one of his dogs is named Alpha? I thought he didn’t believe dogs had any traits of wolf behavior/hierarchy in them and that dogs only attacked out of “fear and mental illness”
Nunya Buisness How is that even related? 😂 it’s a name...
My dog doesn’t love to walk. I carry him most of the time 😢
I've never seen so many stuff on sale in one video. Definitely will stick with Cesar Millan
And you think Cesar is not getting paid? www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/14_12/features/Alpha-Dogs_20416-1.html
Oh my God
Why does it matter? You can't just skip it if you don't like seeing it so much?
You think ppl do something as time consuming as TH-cam for FREE? time is money sweetheart.
Did the 716 people who dislike this video I take it you can train a dog better?!? 🤔
Came here because my 1 year old Bernese Mountain Dog is great but LOVES other dogs and people and immediately starts pulling like a tractor when she sees one. Turns out I came to the right place.
Me: Look at m-
my dog: Jumps , breaks my nose acts crazy
nice...
HOW CAN WE APPLY FOR ZACK TO HELP WITH A REAL DOG THAT PULLS LIKE CRAZY. This dog looks like it was already trained. My huge pitbull is a muscular beast and literally pulls when i walk him as if hes on patrol. This dog is totally trained! Wth.
but... do i always have to hang around with a pound of turkey meat when walking my dog?
Sooo come when called right?

Do you support martingale-collars?
Do you support the Easy Walk Harness?
Do you support head halters? -> If so, which one do you recommend? (Gentle Leader or Comfort Trainer or Halti, etc.)
We live in NYC & have an adorable 4 month old rescue (Long Haired Chihuahua &Terrier mix).Every street is busy & distracting plus we live in a smallish apartment. She pulls on leash like a Mack truck at only 5 pounds. Really need some help teaching her to walk in this insanely busy busy distracting (people not looking & on their phones/cars/trucks/delivery bike guys/loud noises, etc, environment. Thanx Bunny
Legend has it treats are still coming out of his hand to this day.
I am very fortunate to have a smart dog (Aussie/border collie). She learns very quickly but,... is more self-serving than interested in pleasing. So, I train her...and then, ( sometimes) in a week, she refuses to continue. Useful commands like "look at me, sit, come, heal, ring the bell, tug of war, & leave it" are tolerated but playing fetch, lay, quiet, play dead, and other tricks are quickly learned but abandoned due to annoyed dog. She still knows the training. Maybe I am asking too much but why isn't my dog more into the training. Better treats? PS.... Dog really isn't really very stomach oriented,... not really food oriented (weird right?). Maybe a disputed dominance outlook?
