I would like to see a similar video with a shy puppy that gets nervous
around all those distractions. If you teach to create distance when they
act scared and pull awwy from the barking dog or distraction, wouldn’t that
be rewarding the puppies fear? There’s a 4th reason why they pull and it’s
“fear”. Great video! Keep up the amazing training tips.
hi, i don’t know if you done a video on this but how do we correct food
aggression towards other people, he will not growl or bite when me and my
brother are near him or touch him while he is at his food but he will try
to bite when my sister’s daughter get near.
My little Zeus did great that day. Lol and he has been doing great ever
since. Now if only I could get him from chewing up anything with stuffing
in it. I swear he is going to turn into a stuffed animal one of this days.
Lol thanks again Zak and Bree
Hi Zak! I found this video really helpful as a positive training tool for
my very excitable and curious Australian Red Cattle dog, Freyja. I wanted
to request a bath time video. Freyja hates and dreads baths, and while I’ve
gotten her into the bathroom and tub with positive reinforcement and not
force, she freezes up as soon as the water comes on and keeps trying to
jump out. We can get through a bath okay enough, with some mess, but how
can I make this a less painful experience for her? I hate to think I’m
putting her in a situation of discomfort every time we have to bathe her,
and would love to see her actually be comfortable with the experience, and
maybe even enjoy it. Thanks a lot, keep up the great work!
My Golden retriever does ok on walks, but when she sees kids or another dog
she pulls for the rest of the walk even when the people and dogs are gone.
EtheonSnow, we had a rescue who never learned to play. She kept herself in
good shape chasing bugs, but 5 years chained to a tree and never loved sort
of ruined the toy concept for her. Our other dog would try to get her to
play with him, we tried too, but she was one of the happiest dogs you could
meet…with no toy interest at all.
Hi Zak I have a question about my dog. He gets really aggressive and
growls/barks at only certain people. I have no idea why because the people
he growls at are very nice to him, but somehow he just goes crazy. With me,
he never growls and is always a very sweet pup. I really want him to be
friendly with everyone he meets, but I just can’t seem to find the root of
the problem.
Amazing video! And thank you Zak for proving that I am right. I’ve always
trained my dogs and others exactly that way not to pull even though my
Akita doesn’t enjoy tug o war much but other games or letting her do some
tricks works just as well. It’s the best and fastest method and it also
shows your dog that you are the most exciting thing on earth and the best
partner it can rely on and have a lot of fun with. It’s not just stopping
leash pulling but also creating a deep bond between owner and dog.
Hi Zak, great video! Both my dogs are good on the leash, even the puppy. I
have to have a lot of patience with her because she is only 4 months old
but she responds well to my voice. My older dog, Skye, came out of his
mommy’s womb ready to walk on a leash. LOL! Never had to train him at all.
I have been very lucky in this.
At the start of my walk my dog goes crazy because theres so much built up
energy but at the end she walks pretty gud on the lead some days are better
then others but shes only 8mnths old so she does pretty good. The only
anoying thing is she always wants to go a met the dog and met their owner
amd jumps up at them sometmes and if there across the road she will bark at
them. +Zak George’s Dog Training rEvolution
Hi Zak, My mom and I just got a 4yr old rescue dog in late June. We’ve
been following a lot of your tips for leash training and one problem we’ve
been having is that she doesn’t have any interest in toys. At this point,
we use deli turkey for currency, but I feel like fetch or tug of war would
be so great for bonding and currency for her. Is there a way to teach a
dog with absolutely no interest in toys (whether it’s a ball, or a squeaky
toy, or a rope) to enjoy them and eventually play fetch? Or is it
something that is just a part of her personality and won’t change?
Awesome video, when I got my german shepherd when he was 3 years old, he
use too pull us as we walk him, but now he walks without the lash and he
can run freely and still keep us eye distance. I will get video of us and I
will upload so you can see it.
I really need some help guys. My 18 week old puppy peanut (chihuahua/jack
Russell) growls and barks at anyone who comes over to the house. He even
growls at my kids sometimes. How do I teach him that I don’t want him
growling at anyone especially my kids. Barking to alert me that someone has
driven up is ok with me but I want him to eventually stop once I tell him
everything is ok. Once he is in the barking mode it is almost impossible to
get him to stop. He ignores toys etc. even if I take him outside or in a
different room he still continues to bark no matter how hard I try to bring
his attention away from it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Great work! The best tutorials are ones like these where you see THE REAL
DEAL. Real dogs, not pre trained dogs.. showing mistakes rather than
cutting them out and only showing the good only makes it harder for people
to learn. Great job Zak..
You should talk a little bit about what kind/type of dog food is best for
your dog. Maybe mention things you should stay away from..ect. There are
tons of brands up here in Canada and I want to know what’s going to be the
best for my Boston terrier puppy and adult when he grows older.
Thanks to your previous leash walking videos, I now have a 7 month old
catahoula x pit that walks pretty well. Pulling is not her problem, so
much as stopping. We live in the country, and the squirrels, birds, and
deer droppings are our main obstacles. I love the concept of ‘being more
interesting than the distractions,’ and plan to incorporate this into our
future walks. That was such a good ‘ah ha!’ moment for me.
I have a ten month old shepherd and they are so full of energy, i take him
to a positive training dog class once a week and it is so good! We use the
clicker alot! I love your videos zac!!!
Great Video! Just recently started following your videos and I’ve loved
them all. I really like how energetic you are and how much you emphasize
exercise. I’ve learned while working with my two pit bulls if I am
energetic and excited with them while training they are much more
responsive.
My dog chip is amazing I have had him for five days now and he is already
potty trained and he also knows how to sit on command and walks perfect.I’m
only having trouble with crate training.
Loved the video Zak! I love using toys for LLW!!! I think you may want to
reassess your tug style though. That side to side jerking isn’t great for a
dog’s neck and usually doesn’t help to build drive. Instead try pulling up
and let your arm go limp when the dog pulls back. Letting the dog win in
this way builds confidence in the game and builds drive. I hope you don’t
mind the advice, I think you’re awesome!! I’m just a bit tug obbessed!
I have two black lab puppies. Bob gets really jealous of any attention I
pay to his brother and will bite or bark and growl if I pet Larry, much
less try to work with him. I have to feed them separately or Bob will eat
half of Larry’s food too. It’s not every time and Bob picks up on the
training much faster than Larry, who’s easily distracted. They’ve always
fought and bit each other but lately he bites until Larry’s yelping and
still doesn’t let go. They’re 8 weeks old. Any suggestions on training for
two?
I’m looking to get a dog but there are ALOT of cats in our naborhood but
there are a lot of fields rivers and a beach.I am only 12 but I would like
big dog that I could handle.Should I get one from the pet rescue shelter or
would that be risky?!?!.
Hi Zak, This video was posted at exactly the perfect time. My question is
a bit complicated, so bear with me. I have 2 dogs. Zubi pays attention to
me and Honey is really excited about everything else in the world. When I
use Tug as the way to get Honey to pay attention to me, Zubi is ready to
play and gets to the Tug. Honey is still distracted by everything else
while I’m trying to wrangle the toy free. How do I target Honey and get
Zubi to leave it alone? Thanks! ~K
