Hi zak again brilliant video as always love your content keep it coming have you ever thought about training a minute dachshund that would be appreciated as my favourite breed is a dachshund ๐
Haha, I adopted a dog during pandemic, could not see her for myself but I chose an organization I thought I could trust. I did not even choose based on look, it did not matter to me, I wanted an energy level 2 dog. Well, I got a high energy one xD So I will not trust organizations in the future in this topic xD Anyways, our case turned out fine, I mostly had high energy dogs, so even though I did not have my break with a moderate energy dog as I wished, we make a great team. But I do think that if organizations offer dogs they do not assess well, that could make trouble in families adopting dogs by giving them dogs who totally do not fit in.
I'm so excited to see what you have coming, Zak. I don't have tiktok, but I found a spoiler, and I can't wait for you to announce it to everyone. I can't wait to see you deliver more great content, and I support yall 100 percent. Have a great week!!
I would recommend the trainings class for puppies at Popford from Z. George , that is very helpful . Maybe You two give it at try , Bree and Zak ? ๐๐
I really want to get a goldendoodle but my vet was sort of discouraging me by saying they are extremely high energy. Would you agree with this?
It's so important to know the real energetic level before adopting! Great tip!
I noticed you were training biscuits to sit and stay without saying stay please explain! ๐
Concordo !
We're getting a puppy in a few weeks! Just met the litter today! Currently we have a good situation as my mom works during the days and I have evening classes, but I will be working day shifts over the summer, meaning our puppy will be alone during the day for a while. That's the only thing I'm worried about.
100% positive doesn't work. It's all about finding the right ratio for the dog. For my APBT, it started at around 75% positive and his been slooowly going up to about 90%. But he tries to step and that shit will not stand. He wants to step, he gets disciplined. Not hard. Just enough that he knows we still aren't going on other peoples' properties, barking at passersby, or not listening when I tell him to get his ass over here. With that being said, the worst he gets is a zip on the leash or a firm grip on the shoulders or under the jaw to let him know that I ain't fuckin' around and he needs to STOP this bad behavior… beat… and what a good boy he is for listening, yes he is.
Zak where did you get that wonderful Berner picture from?
Where did he get that painting of inertia. I want one of my pupper
I really appreciate your content and training style, has definitely helped us with our 16wk collie lurcher, thank you!
Thinking about the questions Bree was asked in her applications is SO important. I live in an apt community personally. The things Iโve seen or heard can be really concerning to a person who is invested into a dogs training and socialization but to someone who is not educated in modern methods wouldnโt think too much of those questions. Iโm glad rescues are doing this because it is so tough and people donโt realize the true investment into a healthy communication with their dogs.
Zak! Please help. My four month old GSP puppy is wonderful, and she's picking everything up so quickly. We play fetch and she loves it! She brings the ball/toy back every time, but she fully barrels into me at full force!How do I teach a polite return? I ask her for a drop/give and for a sit every time I throw the ball, but I'd like her to slow down before she gets to me. I don't want her barreling into a child or elderly person when she brings the ball back. Thanks!

I am afraid of dogs due to my childhood experience. However, recently Iโm feeding a 3 small street puppies ๐ถ near to my house with Dog biscuits. Those puppies are adorable ๐ฅฐ and they obey my commands with respect โ Whenever an adult angry street dog barks at me. My body jerks or shivers to its reaction. Can you make a video on how to handle this? My mindset towards dogs is changing after feeding puppies ๐ถ But I lack discernment to react street Dog aggression. Thatโs why Iโm requesting this. This will be helpful for me and others Thank you so much ๐ค
Thank you for using your platform to help advocate for dogs and science based training.I have to call out Petco though. They do not always regulate their trainers well. I was in one a few months ago and came accross a trainer using adversive methods. The dogs where scared and confused and they trainer kept saying “they know what you want, they just dont always like to listen”…..
I got my puppy Roxie a year ago and I binged hours on hours of Zak George content prior to her arrival. It really helped set the expectation and tone of how I wanted to foster my relationship with her: I never want to have the โshe needs to know youre the alphaโ method. I always think โI want her to do something. She wants to do something else, how do I get us on the same page? And Iโm really glad because itโs also a much more fun experience, albeit a bit more work in the beginning, overall.
I love border collies and get on great with them but they are high energy and I am disabled so many dog charity people wouldnโt let me have one of that breed. So I bought Marzieh. She is very good. She only has one problem for me to solve. She is afraid of moving big trucks. Parked ones are okay.
Thanks so much for your videos! I have had friends and other dog owners who told me to use โcorrectionโ tools and I was desperate but did not want to do that to our dog. We came pretty close to surrendering him but after watching you and changing our routines We stuck to it and have seen so much progress in our sweet boy. No โcorrectionโ tools needed
My Raven went to puppy training school at Petco and she did well and graduated. Really liked our trainer. Look forward to seeing The Veronica chronicles!
OMG!!!! I love that dog painting behind you!!! LLLOOOVVVVEEEE IT!!!

I have a five month old dog who jumps up , especially when we are at the dinner table.
im getting a new puppy in 5 days and i've watched almost all your videos
If Zak was gettingโฆ he already has a puppy called Veronica!!!
Zak- Absolutely love your videos. Question. I am expecting two mini corgis in two weeks. OI! Should I train them one at a time or both? Thanks. Judith
Great ad. Hope it paid well!
Your TikTok link doesn't take me to your page or a specific video or anything, just to random videos on there. Maybe I'm doing something wrong ๐ฃ
I love your videos, but this was the first time I thought “ok, he's crossed the line with the amount of commercials”
Zak, looking for a miniature poodle, but will not actually get one for another year. Have to wait for house to be built. Anyway also when looking for dog, be careful not to select the quiet and non-energy one, because I did that when I was in high school just before college, and that puppy turned out to be a ball of energy. She was a mutt, but heave on the sheltie side, so she shed … a lot. Very bright dog, and trained real well. Very people oriented, so when I went to college, brother to high school and mother working, the dog was lonely. So my grandparents took her, and she became their new grandchild. That dog behaved and did things that amaze the whole family. Guess my grandfather just knew how to train dogs.
When you are assessing a dogโs energy from a rescue, you have to consider how long the dog has been with the rescue. Our dog was at the rescue for about a month and I think he was still adjusting. When we met him he was VERY low energy and the volunteers called him a couch potato. But after a few months of living with us, we found out heโs not a low energy dog at all!
I worked as a dog walker for 1 year to get to know different types of breeds and learn what would work best for our lifestyle, it was the best decision I could have ever made! Itโs so important to pick the right breed for your energy level, not just looks which has been a huge mistake before to be honest. Iโm getting a Cavapoo soon and Iโm binge watching your channel!!!
I don't even have a dog (yet). I just clicked by accident and liked your energy. Also you help me learn how to empathise with animals. Keep em coming.
I wish we had something matching the quality of Pupbox in Europe ๐
This was a really helpful episode. It was a fun summary of some really important things to keep in mind for getting a dog.
Also, I volunteer for an association that rescues dogs from difficult environments, rehabilitates them, values their needs and finds them a new home. We're just volunteers and we have little idea about how to train a dog, but since I discovered your videos they're mandatory in the classes we use to prep new generations of volunteers and we're generally getting SO MUCH BETTER results! Especially with dogs that have been beaten up or abandoned.
i legit paid for my puppy bc of nfts ๐ณ
How old should a puppy be before you can tell what kind of personality they might have? My 6-week old is fun and playful for short spurts but is still very sleepy.
So I have 2 5 month old pups named Rwby and Gideon … I was wondering if you have ever done a set of videos on getting and training 2 puppies? Looking at both the good aspects of training a sibling pair and the extra time involved in training 2 pups at once … ?
Been in the dog training industry for a long time. If you ask any trainer who has been training longer than 10 years this guy is a laughing stock. No dog trainer who has put in the time respects this guy. He's amazing at making money!!!!!! Real dog trainers don't do it for the money. They train because they love it and are dedicated to helping dogs. This man is does not understand canine body language. May God have mercy on the souls who listen to his disgusting advice. Please hire a vetted local professional. This man is destroying the dog community!!!
I tried to adopt a puppy and the rescues are so hard to deal with that I just went to a breeder. I ended up getting a super sweet Aussie with great looking markings and no health issues. The breeder did all the health tests on the parents before breeding which can save you a fortune at the Vet even if you have to spend a lot buying the puppy. My experience is that you can easily adopt dogs over 1 year old from the government animal shelter that often have behavioral or health issues, but more power to the people that do it.
This video or SOOOOOOO helpful
please help me, my dog stopped eating her regular food which is (different)meat and rice(for almost 4 years), shes a picky eater, im pretty sure shes just got tired of it because before she actually stopped eating shes showing signs that shes not that interested anymore and she always watch me when i eat waiting for me to give her my food..she always drinks water..now im trying to train her to eat kibbles, its been 4 days now but she only has eaten 8 pieces the other day and 9 pieces today(regular size kibble) she already lost weight since she stopped eating her regular meal more than a week ago..should i continue the training(giving the food on time then take it after 10-20mins until the next meal) thanks!!!!!……..๐
I love your videos so much, but this kinda felt forced and like you had to rush to put something together for the sponsored parts in the video. ๐
Me: planning to have my first puppy as a grown-up in 3 years or even moreAlso me: learning all the information about the breed, all the essentials, foods, toys, and watching training videos for a year now My brain: puppy puppy puppy puppy puppy puppy puppy ๐ง ๐ฅ๐ถI'm gonna be a responsible dog mom ๐ชSo excited โจ
I got my pup right in the middle of the beginning of lock downs. It was terrible and great but, I didnโt recommend getting a puppy the past two years to most people, because socializing now with a full grown bully is not an easy task especially with kids unfortunately.
I have been watching your videos for the last year and it's really helped with my new puppy and how to correct his bad behaviour with positive reinforcement. My puppy is a Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless Dog) and he's the cutest little boy in the world. I would highly suggest looking online as to what they look like definitely a one in a million kinda dog ๐ฏ
My puppy and I just finished the Puppy 1 course at Petco and it was great! I bought a deal for Puppy 1 and Puppy 2 courses (six weekly sessions per course) and it was by far the most affordable option I could find.
UK PetPlan insurance is simply incredible. I lost my Whippet pup at 2.5 yo to a rare blood disorder. ๐ข๐ข๐ข But thankfully I had ยฃ12K insurance every year on her and they didnโt blink when the bills poured in. They paid every last one in full from the time of diagnosis at 16mos. They were also so empathetic thru the entire experience too, never a fight for coverage of anything. I miss my pup everyday but I canโt stress the importance enough in having excellent insurance. It bought us a whole additional year together that I wouldnโt trade for the universe. Great video, Zak. Thank you.
Looking forward to the new series!
Getting my dog in a few days! Iโm doing as much research as paw-sible!
Positive reinforcement is the absolutely best and only way to teach new behaviours, 100% agree. Especially for puppies/balanced dogs. Not great for removing unwanted behaviours though, severely aggressive cases or dogs that have rehearsed severe reactive behaviour if they are never told they are not allowed to do that behaviour and given an alternative more desired behaviour, especially when very time sensitive in adolescent/early adult months. All four quadrants are needed in my experience/opinion. 98% positive is ideal in any case, but sometimes it's unrealistic, especially for the average owner/client with very particular expectations. Congrats on the new pup! Surely share the journey ๐
I don't use TikTok….. I wish you would share the same content here or on facebook or even instagram. Guess I'm out of the technology loop. But I love your videos and look forward to them!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I would be ultra careful about PetCo. They may espouse R+ training , and even require their trainers to practice it, not all do. In addition, they will gladly sell you a shock collar and other aversives that should never be used.
I found that my local shelter was VERY helpful in finding the best dog for me. They found me a dog that was the right energy level, the right size, the right disposition, etc. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was her anxiety, which was very difficult to navigate at first. I think she finally has decided that we aren't going to abuse her, and she doesn't pee the floor when we interact with her (at least not much). I hate that something happened to her to make her feel that way, but I'm glad she's with us now.

Thank you for your effort! I'm Korean and your dog training video really helpful for me!
Hi!
I mean for all it was worth, you might as well have just called this episode Sponsory McSponsorFace…
Okay I just wanna know if any of your subscribers don't know๐, it's so cute let's just say๐
I absolutely love your content keep up the great work! I would like to ask you a question is there any reason behind choosing only female dogs?
Hahaha my GSP is definitely a level 6 energetic๐คฃ And I love it.
Also, to add to the cost, expect the unexpected with puppies. They can and will get into everything which could end up in an unexpected vet visit/bill. Even as adults they can get into things which is why training is crucial to prevent as much of the unexpected as you can. And whether you buy from a breeder or adopt, you never really know what health problems may pop up. My Husky was from a reputable breeder however before he was a year old, he developed a breathing problem that requires him to be on medication for the rest of his life. Another unexpected cost of owning a dog/pet. So what you estimate your yearly costs to be, good idea to double it just in case.
Another major change, Zak not wearing obnoxious sneakers… By the way in Europe we have the problem of rescue dogs with often deep rooted fear (selling pups of generation long street/wild dogs?) or lack of socialisation/desensitisation. It's a major problem in Europe, impulsive consumption of rescue dogs based on puppy photo's. It unfortunately works better than responsible adoption in local shelters.
Hey ZakLoving watching the different dogs that you have trained … but watching from Australia perhaps you could find some equivalent associates for monthly boxes or food deliveries. I have a couple that I use that are fabulous but having them in your promo, well ???? ๐
Just a little question, do you go though a rescue when you take in rescue/shelter dog? Or do you just adopt them out yourselves?
Have you ever done anything regarding training a service animal? Like a PSD?
Zak, does the energy of a puppy actually correlate to the energy level as an adult? I feel like all puppies are crazy and knowing which will settle into a lv1 is pretty hit or miss, but I generally adopt and work with adults. All my personal dogs were in the mid energy range when younger and then got quite chill at ~5yo or so.
Felt like one big ad
I am a petco trainer, and i have been watching your videos before i was ever a trainer. I always recommend you as a good youtuber to watch.
Love love love your social media accts. Questionโฆ. When using your โleave itโ method do you think the puppy will be smart enough to know that if she bites I will tell her leave it then she will leave it and get a treat? Thus she just keeps biting cause eventually she knows she will get a treat. Our fam would love help if you would weigh in on this debate in our home! Hahaha!!
we need to promote positive reinforcement in humans… this is the only way to end wars, hatred and violence
I have a 6 month Groenendael that jumped on me a couple of times only. Thank you Zack ๐
I signed up and have been taking my puppy to a Petco trainer. We are doing one on one training and it is really good!

Hi need help ..my dog start biting and barking at strangers how to stop it .kindly rply .๐
What, I donโt have to spend every waking minute with my dog. They are so not gonna like that. They are pretty spoiled
A new playlist idea: “Inertia Tricks”. Have someone make a compilation of a specific tricks you taught from first training session to the session the trick is mastered
The BC breeder Inertia came from is wonderful. Finding a good breeder is never easy.
All you have to do is search YouTube and you will clearly see and find dogs that are at much higher levels of training than any dog here in these videos. And Iโm pretty sure they do not just throw food around in a circle for the dog or rely on a ball. Iโm sure itโs mostly voice. Not everyone one has a box of gummy treats in ALLLLLLLLLL and EVERYYYYYYYYYY situation of life. This is bubble gum fantasy training you can do when you donโt have a normal job or a family.
Nothing more then one commercial after another so I quit watching!
so good! thanks Zak ๐ถ
Unrelated to this video but when I am training my dog I always feel like if I donโt reward her enough she will lose interest, but you do lots of tricks in a row with enertia and she seems to love it, is there any chance if I donโt give her a treat, fetch or a tug frequently enough she will stop wanting to learn or train because I really donโt want that
Hi, could you please make a video about how you can teach your dog to play football, basketball, etc. And also I would like to know how to teach your puppy to get things. Example: hey buddy, please get my chocolate packet!Please reply
How can I teach my dog to stay out of the garden and stop eating our plants?
***zack I need help**please respond, lead me to a video or make a video๐ I taught my dog a bunch of commands but he holds them a second. I gave up for a while but I would like to work through mastering commands now. Male English Bull Terrier. 15months. ๐พCan you help?๐
Can i ask a question?I have a 6 year old dog.the first time we adopted her we tried to go for a walk with her but she didn't behave well so we stopped doing it for 6 years.Now we're trying to do it but does not listen and keeps pulling the leash, if we don't go in a direction that she wants, she pull the leash or sit down.She also bites the leash and tries to free herself.she is very stubborn so i would like some advice thank you.(She knows the basic things like sit down)
Zak I really hope you get an Australian shepherd! My aussie jumps a lot he is getting better though! ๐
