I was an observer in his Tampa outdoor classroom. Augusto is a calm professional. He was personable, patient, & greeted each human & their canines. He made a plan & started with dogs that matched concepts his identified. Very grounded , in control, & no wasted energy I have observed the ads & behaviors of his primary opposition; he appears to be externally reactive & his energy would appear to be unsettling to canine & human species alike. I have not seen videos where he demonstrates his training methods with aggressive dogs.
I remember the very first time i saw you DD taking this super aggressive dog from the owner and working your magic. I was completely blown away with how brave confident and quickly you git that dog under control and stopped his behaviour he had learned and showed him another way. I said to myself "my god this guy is a legend". Those lucky dogs and owners to have you guide them to success. Keep up the fantastic work. Dogs all over the world need you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video! All trainers have a difference of opinion on training. That's exactly what makes this field unique. Instead of dog trainers attacking each other on social media account's, try coming together, sharing idea's, techniques. There are plenty of animals in need, that no trainer should be so unprofessional as to attack a trainer verbally, protesting outside the class, crosses the line, attending the classes when it's obvious you dislike the trainer is borderline stalking. When you have respect as a trainer, good thing's will come your way. Thank's for having Dog Daddy on your podcast. Keep up the awesome work.
I adore and respect this young man so much. He has a heart of gold for dogs and people. When I first started watching his short videos, I admit it was because of the shock factor that caught my eye. I did not at first understand that he was not hurting the dogs, (it looked like he was pinching them) but a kind lady viewer explained what he was doing to me, and I understood. As I continued to watch I realized he was not actually hurting the dogs just trying not to get bit. I researched him and found that he came from poverty, so I do not judge his lifestyle now. Good for him! I am impressed he just wants to give back. That is called character. I am starting to think this Zak George must have a massive high school girl crush on Augusto! It certainly sounds like it! Stand in line and take a number Zakie! As you can see, I am a big Dog Daddy fan and yes, I'm an old, retired cat lady!! Lol!! This was a great podcast boys! Thank you! 😉
A retired cat lady is exactly where you should stay, far away from dogs. What elderly woman says someone has a "high school crush" when they are many many many others bring up the same concerns? It's incredibly childish. You clearly know nothing about canine communication and training. I support balanced training but I wouldn't allow Augusto anywhere near my dogs. I never want my dogs to carry themselves the way even his personal dogs do.
Love your transparency and sense of humor. “Used a fake name but not smart enough to use a different e-mail address so her real name was revealed” The best ever! Pitiful👀
Dog Daddy is absolutely a blessing to these dogs and people. There will always be people who are haters on others success. DD cares. He would probably prefer to not have this job because these problems don't exist but THEY DO. HE IS A BLESSING.
Any true dog trainers should realise what this guy DD is trying to achieve with these tough exterior dogs who have learned behaviours. Wake up Zac George you are screwing your own reputation gunning for this wonderful young man....❤❤❤DD❤❤❤
So glad to hear that you're building your team to help the community and dogs! You are following your passion and teaching others to do the same. Wonderful podcast, it explains so much and shows you are genuine and true. Keep being YOU! ❤
I'm on Dog Daddy's side and I'm a cat person! 😺I'm going to attend his class as an observer in Tampa to SHOW my support. When I retire and get a dog, I want Dog Daddy to train them. ❤❤
I was scheduled for Tampa but switched to NJ last week. You are going to really love it....wish I was back there so I could attend a second class. It was an excellent experience.
Iv grown attached to DD after watching many of his videos, and seeing what he does to elevate these canines problems. What I’m not a fan of is people disrespecting a man that can actually help these owners with their aggressive dogs !!
Thank you so much for conducting this interview and asking the questions that I'm sure have been plaguing many of us, especially about the poisoned dog claim. I had a feeling that there was an actual incident and that Augusto went to SM, as many of us have done, in the heat of the moment and after feeling attacked online out of fear for the welfare of his pets. What bothered me at the time was that ZG, who supposedly cares so much about dogs, had only the reaction of outrage of the accusation instead of first inquiring about the welfare of the dogs and assuring his followers that he does not wish any physical retaliation against DD or his pet. He did not do that. That spoke volumes to me and showed exactly who and what ZG really is.
@@MiracleK9Training I think he was triggered in the true sense of the word. He's been bullied in the past. I'm satisfied with how he responded as well.
Y'all at Miracle are right up there with Dog Daddy and American Standard dog training as my most followed and favorite trainers. Your podcast sets y'all a cut above the rest and I love when you collab with the best trainers in the industry.
Great podcast it good to hear you supporting Dog Daddy and giving him the respect of a fellow dog trainer i liked the fact you understood that he is trying to develop his way of showing the public a different way of helping troubled dogs! Sending tha ks from Scotland ❤
Zack is ridiculous. I would love to see him take on one of the aggressive dogs that DD takes on. Look at where this kid has come from and endured. He has rison above all the B. S
Thanks for this video! You asked some really awesome questions. Glad to hear DD is open to learning and growing for himself and his way of training. It's how personal growth and business expansion is done. Another great podcast.
I just want to mention that dogdaddy’s short clip videos is what caught my Attention.. it might of seem intense but it made a big impact on me to see that this guy ( Augusto ) had such a unique approach in handling an aggressive dog . I owned a full size Doberman, Chocolate Labrador, Massive Pitbull and yorkie. It requires a lot of patience and a knowledge to train every type of breed with different personalities and problems.. I was impressed and subscribed instantly
@@jrmints80 We heard that bullshit before. You have to wait like 15 years, before the dog will appear to grasp some basic training. If the dog dies before that, oh well, bummer, it would surely be trained some time in the future... Stop inventing arguments here. We should not be patient towards dangerous dog behaviors.
It's tough. Like i said in the episode, those short clips highlighting the dramatic parts are the ammunition for the other side, but they are also what got him so many followers in the first place.
@@MiracleK9Training those clips was totally distorted to his ( zak’s) benefit in such a malicious way and I’m sure many agree .. people who deals with PR and is on social media all know to well how ( snippets or etc.) that could be misunderstood ( to put it mildly) this guy I believe is freakin desperate that he has to smear dogdaddy and others who is going well in life .. hmmm ?? all of a sudden “ narcissist “ came to mind .👺
My dog was trained using positive reinforcements but I will say this. I love and respect your work DD! In the animal kingdom, naturally every animal control their pups with disciplines. They sure don’t use treats to control their pups. Human just act so irrational and use their feelings to justify everything. At the end of the day, whatever method works to make your dog feel more confident and behave. A small discomfort temporary will bring so much happiness for the rest of their life. Keep up with your good work and save those dogs and continue to change everyone’s life.
Exactly right! It's like everyone's scared to say natural discipline works. Projecting your psychological issues and feelings onto the dog isn't fixing anything. You'll BOTH be healthier using common sense, even if it's uncomfortable at first. Example, I'm terrified of wasps, this caused me to avoid my garden, my sanctity and sacred space. I decided to research everything about them, how they do everything, I watched a guy train a wasp. Seriously. 😂 I watched people take stings, etc. I desensitized myself. I still have a healthy jump back vibe I'm working on, but coddling my fears only empowers them. I now feel if I really wanted to, I could dominate a wasp and make it a pet, be calm around them mostly, or squish them if I need to. 😂 🌿🥀🐝🌿
I’ve trained all my large and medium sized dogs and completely agree with your comment. One thing I’ve noticed being around many types of animals is they definitely sense a person’s energy when you or they first approach. Have you ever noticed a calm animal react when someone new approaches that you might not trust and with others not react ?
I'm in UK, and I don't know when the announcement was made to cancel. Still, I do know Zak managed to get enough folk to annoy the RSPCA & clog up their emergency line (our animal welfare charity) that they put out a public announcement looking for the venue location so they could attend and do a welfare/abuse check. considering we've just had the undefined in breeding standards, XL bully breed banned (or will be by the end of the year) due to the number of bites and fatal dog attacks in recent weeks, never mind years, it's a shame because some of them could do with the help & I'm not naïve enough to think that letting a dog bite me vs some discomfort to calm down & then be shown new behaviours is unacceptable.
@@MiracleK9Training it's not coming from us though, it came from elsewhere, Germany etc have already banned them, although they are still used covertly & that's much worse.
ZG is the real danger to dogs and no consideration for any the consequences of any of his actions... puts me in mind of a narcissistic personality tbh .. i agree om in UK as well and the RSPCA isnt fit for purpose at the best of times .. they have alot more problems than an a dog trainer coming over from America
I do like the dad vibes u r having towards dog daddy too. Like can see how you genuinely want to help him through the crazy world of online opinions and how when your life becomes your business you have to start thinking about that side more. And I love how open he is to growth. Like many balanced trainers I might not agree with everything used but I’m not in the same circumstance so am always open to different ideas and opinions…. Open minded something a certain internet pup box advertiser should work on 😂. I really do love how you guys are always as much as possible are non biased and I love hearing your opinions on things coz it causes me to question what I know or have heard and see how it works with my own thoughts
@@CrayolaCoffeeBeanIt definitely will backfire, and so many people are in the same boat as you, where they’ve only heard of DD from Zak. He really didn’t think it through before trying to take on DD.
Great conversation between u both .. most people who disagree with him haven't bothered to look further than his short vids, dont understand dog behaviour, jealous of his success and popularity or just folloeing someone else's opinion .... i see ivan has a podcast with him coming up ... hopefully after that he gets some peace and even maybe a bit more support from the online balanced community .. i honestly dont know how he handles it all this negativity and hate ... working with pet dogs in real tough desperate situations is stressful enough seeing how inhappy the dogs and owners are and its a massive problem in society right now .. hes a leader not a follower for sure .. keep up the good work guys
I think everyone forgets that its ok to disagree AND have a respectful conversation about it. there are tons i disagree with DD with. And we respectfully talked about some of those things here.
How about when the dog was so afraid of him it was pooping on the floor in fear and he continued to pull the dog closer? Did that impress you? How about when he taught the drop it behavior by pinching the dog? Simple command, beginner level stuff, teach it to puppies. But Augusto can't do it without pain, so impressive.
@@jrmints80 sounds like you’re exaggerating. A lot of DDs clients have dogs with fear issues and aggression, so? He ends up helping them. I am impressed by the way he helps his clients. He is not abusing the animals. He is correcting them so they can be trained and so their behavior can improve and they don’t get euthanized.
@r.alexnovikoff6667 does he help them? His testimonials happen when people are in their high not a month or two later. But I'm certainly seeing from quite a few that they still have the same issues or worse with their dog. Now I won't say it's all of them but I'd be curious months later where these dogs are. And no, I didn't exaggerate, these are clips Augusto releases.
@@jrmints80 Just kindly f**k off with these exaggerations. Many dogs have genetic phobias. No slow desensitization process is going to help them. In fact as said many such dogs have undergone life long tries of training of positive only trainers. Many such dogs profit of one such session permanently. We will never see the same. We have different values. You would rather see a life long suffering of a dog, because you can not allow a moments of unpleasant experience. I however, would rather have a moments of unpleasant experience and better life for a dog. Also, you are trying to negate effects of further positive learning experiences, which are now much easier, because the dog has learned some control. Such bullshit must stop. We simply don't use just aversives.
@@jrmints80oh, you really followed up on all DD’s clients? Like I said- sounds like you exaggerate. Give it a rest and find another ‘abuser’ to go after. Why don’t you protest those countries that use animals such as dogs as a delicacy? Those animals legitimately need help.
My dogs vet watches Dog Daddy and he loves how he is able to change the lives of the dogs and owners, and sees he doesn't harm the dogs but actually teaches them how to be the dog they are supposed to be as well as teaching their owners how to handle their dogs so both are happy. That's good enough for me !!!!
Hmm...in what way? You don't say. I would argue its hands down unanimous if you are without prejudice out of jeolously. DD doesn't do anything to draw attention to himself. He is professional and articulate. He defends himself if necessary, but is not self seeking attention. @MiracleK9Training
@@jrmints80 go to bed I’m not going to argue with you because you another person that’s apparently blind and don’t understand what he does so goodnight
Fantastic podcast! Great questions (and answers!) Have you reached out to ZG to be on a podcast as well or is he "too busy"? I really enjoy your pods because you really try to be as diplomatic and unbiased as you can and give the facts as well. Keep them coming! Shout out from SOUTH AFRICA
I’ve reached out to him a gazillion times and offered him 2500 dollars for 1 hour of his time. He has no interested in this conversation past clicks and internet attention.
And I suppose because he won't be able to control the narrative, which is how he controls, influences and manipulates his little group of minions by using his "scientific" sounding words and phrases and play on emotions! He might be able to talk the talk (even though he can't actually back the talk up either) but his major problem is he just simply can't walk the walk... (even though he claims to have worked and helped many aggressive dogs - which I simply don't believe) I think he forgets to mention that none of these dogs that he claims he has worked with are over 6 months old! 😂
@@sharongeater Zak seems to prefer taking the passive aggressive approach where he can bully through cyberspace and get flying monkeys to do the hands-on work such as protesting the venues, etc. He's attacked many trainers, but his vitriol against Augusto is heightened because he's most able to exploit DD's content. I used to follow him, but he appears seriously unstable and bullying is not okay with me.
Please continue!!! U r so incredible with people and the dogs, society needs you!! Dogs are getting to stay in their homes with confident owners it’s so awesome!!!
DD is unique. There is nothing wrong with the way he trains dogs. He is amazing at what he does. Not many dog trainers out there like him! My message to Zac would be…you don’t rise by tearing someone else down! Keep up the great work DD you have many supporters
After watching all the balanced trainers on UA-cam, I find 4 Trainers to be my favourite as all of you do your best to explain your methods earnestly which all made sense & very applicable to our dogs. Dog Daddy, your channel, American Standard Dog Training & Hamilton Training. Hope you can have a podcast with Hamilton Training too. I like this kind of positive exchanges between Dog Trainers instead of negative sabotages from the other guy! 👍
Get salty Zak on the pod. He’s the real “dog trainer” who “knows best”. Zak should be blacklisted such a scammer of a trainer. Thanks for putting this pod out with DD the public really need to see this. Hope you guys get Zak the flop on this pod so everyone can can see what a flop he is. Subscribed!
@@AgilityQs where's this claimed abuse? Are you as ignorant as your comment? Zak is bullying to get his way. Karma gonna get his ass and it's going to be glorious
@@MiracleK9TrainingI guess Zak overlooked DD'S number of followers are now comparable to his which is also why he is now desperate to rid his competition before DD overtakes him! He also forgot DD'S followers are all genuine believers of his good work & will stand up for him if there was any injustice inflicted on him!
This is sooooo familiar. The left never strays from their delusional ways. The DOG DADDY IS the gentle, and smart approach to all dogs including reactive and fearful ones.
I just pray that all this nightmare would just go away !!! Come on !!! Seriously ! Dogdaddy shouldn’t have to be burdened by all this BS ..!! He doesn’t deserve it .. 😢 he needs to stay focused on positive things and put his energy to doing what he loves best and that’s to help families with dogs and to give Knowles to other trainers or just people that wants to help and rehabilitate problem dogs in general.. it’s truly sad that people can be that jealous and cruel that their malicious behavior affects not only dogdaddy but all of us who is part of his family of followers . I have faith that Augusto will come out of this stronger than ever .. 🙏🏼 ( I just wish people would leave him alone snd let him do what he enjoys !! And that’s helping people and dogs )
@@MiracleK9Training .. but truly …? Does he ( Zak ) even have anything to show for ..? I truly get that yeah all this mess happens to people who rises to the top :jealous !!!! 🤯 but Augusto started with nothing and because he believed in himself that he can accomplish life’s challenges he succeeded ..this is the story to tell .. and he is saving a lot of dogs and helping them ; giving them ( dogs snd people ) a second chance in life ..
Hi David and Josh! I enjoyed the podcast, and the questions were excellent. It was a beautiful conversation. I was laughing so loud when Josh said “Zak George, if you made it this far, shame on you!” Yes, shame on him. No class whatsoever. In one of his videos, said something about the clients who went to DD went home and back to the same issues with their dogs. Did he follow up with them? How would he know? That’s a bold accusation. If there was any truth in that, wouldn’t there be at least a handful of clients speaking up about that? It’s not like they don’t have access to the internet and/or a camera to show how useless the classes were. He didn’t think of these things before he started and continued this attack. He’s toxically obsessed with DD and the all normal trainers.
Fascist ,fascist, fascist ZG behavior toward DD such as harassing his seminars and venue is entirely unacceptable fascist behavior that we have allowed his type to get away with and normalize lately and it will lead us to a very bad place. ZG should be ashamed and would but he has an utter lack of character or morals and it shows in his ability to lie about dogs with no regard to consequences as long as it benefits him. What scum!
I’m binge watching DD🐾 on UA-cam. I wake up, first video I watch is DD. Mid day couple more. Before sleep, a couple more. Something interesting, I feel grounded and calm watching him saving dogs and people. Thank you so much Dog Daddy 🙏🏻❤️
@@MiracleK9Training why do you need to understand him so much - understand yourself - DD owes you nothing - why would he have to explain his uniqueness to anyone ? How would you feel if someone asked why you are the way you are? You’d be offended - he was born that way just like you were born the way you were.
Thank you for your honest coverage. Dog Daddy does amazing work with dogs that many trainers won't touch. Dogs basically on death row! Those who speak negatively are ignorant &/or jealous! I did see for myself, seeing is believing. ❤🐶
I absolutely do not get the haters to DogDaddy. If i had a vicious dog or one needing his kind of help, he is the only one who can do it. If you don't prefer his training, go somewhere else. There is only one other trainer I would go to, that is local to me, that is any good for these types of dogs. Just regular training, for dogs that don't have problems, is still hard to find. I don't find people are good at it. I have been to a few and they are not great.
I get it to an extent. He is a polarizing figure and definitely markets him in a way that can really "ask for attention". But I don't think he's a bad guy and seems to care and is on the frontlines working with dogs.
He’s only polarizing because he’s authentically himself and most men have this fake strong man persona- whereas DD is himself and highly respected - the only hate is from insecure men that can’t handle his authenticity and gifts. Men nowadays are so insecure and it shows. Jealousy is a disease - all those jealous ass men should seek some medical help for their ‘condition’ 😂
Ive never understood why people are only drawn to short video clips. Personally, I usually won't even click on something unless it's at least 15-20 minutes long. I prefer to find videos that are 1-2 hours, though. Just a greater chance that I'll actually learn something.
@@MiracleK9Training. Why so much competition. As a woman - I have always believed that if men could get penis implants like women get boob implants - war would end 😂 trust me - us women can sooooo see where the insecurity comes from 😂 cause how so many grown ass men are so bothered by this sweet track suit wearing sweetheart is beyond comprehension. Are you guys really that bothered by him?
I love him too- I get to watch animals get help and be happy- great fashion- amazing personality - this man could be training frogs and I’d watch him 😂
I just love DD! I hope to go to his class if/when I get another dog. Just to make sure I’m being the right kind of leader. My little old guy is wonderful and I want him around as long as possible, but when he’s not I will be getting another as I hate life without dogs. Meanwhile I’m so glad he moved to AZ and hope to attend as just observer and will continue to recommend him when I hear about people with troublesome dogs.
Send Zack George a Belgian Malinois to train. He might change his ways. Dog Daddy doesn't have to explain himself but because he is gracious, he does. I've learned so much from him. We love him.
Excellent podcast! Thanks for your objective approach. It allowed for great communication. Good questions and points regarding the responsibility aspect when having a large following. It's good to hear that Augusto is finding the constructive critisisms and is tweaking his approach from large classes to smaller classes with more time. (If I understood correctly) I look forward to hearing your opinions in the next podcast.
This is an amazing type of podcast, I think it would really be good for us viewers if you included time stamps in your videos! I enjoyed all parts of this one but I think it’ll be great for me as a first time owner to be able to go back to the exact part of the video I need when I needed so I can apply the advice.
Perhaps it's a good idea to combine all your strengths together as a group so that others will think twice about bullying any of you as a group! A bunch of chopsticks is far stronger than just one chopstick! Strength in Unity! 💪You can also share & optimize your resources like media experience from Josh. Hope there's some kind of collaboration between all of you!🙏
😎 I didn't think DD was being ruff ruff (haha) Joking aside ... I was seeing DD making sure not to get bitten as the dog is jumping around. Augusto uses longer soft leashes not to feel as ruff during a softer transition.🙏🏼💞
I am a big fan . I don't comment on many things but I thought I would share .I'm a child care provider for children behavioral issues and I find there are so many similar techniques that are similar. there is a big difference between assertiveness and aggression. Firm but fair is one of my mantras. keep keeping on.
Appreciate the chat! Some people on youtube are such cowards. So much easier to comment on videos and make disparaging remarks about DD than to go to one of his seminars and form your own opinion I guess.
I always prefer long form talks like this because you get beyond the "tik tok clip mentality" and you end up with much more genuine discussions.@@MiracleK9Training
Zak is a cult groomer and a bully. He turned his frustration because of incapacity of training dogs in wrong direction, in bullying other proven and successful trainers. Better it would be to seek therapy because of his mental and emotional disturbances and actually learn to train dogs. We should not rest until his channel full of dangerous lies and misinformations, as well as harrasments, insults and bullying is put down and he and his wife are recognized for what they truly are: deeply disturbed people and in no way any reference in dog training, scientific or not.
@45:00 and @40:00 something minute, DD is saying "EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER" which my English teacher told his students too. With Augusto's family background around dogs, that makes sense. And seeing him with dogs in his house shows his passion for his job and love for dogs. To cut it all, Augusto's aim is to educate owners to become good leaders for their dogs and for the dogs to establish better relationships and follow commands from their owners. Totally SELF DISCIPLINE.
1:40:30 It is called a civil judgement. Verdicts can be criminal or civil. Been thinking for a while that Zak George is basically begging for a defamation suit by repeating the "convicted for fraud" mantra. The burden of proof is not the same in a civil case as it is in a criminal case, so claiming a conviction is a serious misstatement of fact (unless there are actual criminal cases I am unaware of). But I have not completed the research into that, so didn't say anything about it before now. Thing is, DD's explanation is not really satisfactory either. A lawyer could have applied for the default judgement to be set aside if the service was actually improper / inadequate. And paying the judgement does not "make it go away". He could have offered to settle, which he could have done without an admission of liability, which would have made it go away, but that was off the cards once the judgement was entered.
Augusto is on camera accusing Zak George of poisoning his dogs. He deleted the video quickly but the internet is forever. Augusto doesn't have a great success rate with court cases, it's unlikely he would want to go to court with Zak George.
Regarding ZG You can't make the mistakes you're talking about if one isn't out there working hard, putting in the effort and helping people and their K9's overcome their issues. The only mistake ZG makes ad nauseum is running his mouth in areas he knows nothing about.
Zak George is just jealous of Augusto's success. I have never seen any videos of him training truly aggressive dogs and hard cases. He claims he's too busy to train those type of dogs, yet he has the time to stalk Dog Daddy. George thinks only positive reinforcement and treats should be used. However, it does not work to correct unwanted behavior, especially aggressive and reactive behavior. It's great to see you and other professional trainers collaborate instead of tearing each other down, like Zak George. Thank you so much for allowing Dog Daddy to give his viewpoint and continue helping dog owners.
I enjoyed the interview 25:28 (to 27:00)... Owners need the help immediately... 29:18 I do minimally harsh... compared to other balanced trainers 29:36...(to 32:05) eg. Dog redirects on the owner... 35:21... After Austin in October 2023, more trainers will be involved in the seminars 38:16... Noble cause high demand.. 41:17... Offer a lot that you don't get in a regular trainers course...(41:28) 41:56... What I have that others don't do (have) is a VERY GOOD understanding of the dog... 42:11 to(42:16)... What that behavior will translate into... And what's available in the room that will work for him 44:55... again the difference versus other trainers is... 46:53...basic ideas or steps involved... 47:30... Third step... Repetition and proofing, in a positive environment to create positive association...
@@MiracleK9Training You're welcome, I appreciate your podcasts very much and I just heard Jeff Gellman say that he is now available for going on podcasts. He will also be talkin about DD and ZG this week on his own morning podcast.
He is doing dogs a huge favour by doing everything he does and he is taking all the hate and all the burden of it all as well. This guy knows his crap and I'd listen to him any day!!!!! After watching his shorts it's only made me intereseted in learning more about augusto, and if you haven't seen his private lesson videos, they are absolutely amazing.
@@cherylmillard2067 We can't stress enough that Zak is a cult groomer and deeply disturbed person in my opinion. If that notion is bothering you, you should look deeply into yourself.
I did catch that training with Zak the 🐕 There is a two legged Zak that could really spend some time wearing a muzzle, although I believe it would be difficult getting one on that one too 😂 God Bless The Heroes For All Creatures Great And Small 🙏💗😎👍🐕
He doesn't " sensationalize " his classes. The dogs he helps are their own sensational enity.. those dogs are actually dangerous to people and their owners. DD is able to turn off their bad behavior and teach them a better way. We love ❤️ him. We have learned how to change our own dogs bad behavior just from watching him on UA-cam.
he has so much. followers because his work is transparant and effective and. he shows. it time after time...most dog. trainers behave as dog whisperers but. dog daddy wants to help dogs and not earn a lot. of money...that is so nice about Augusto!
Inciting people to be hateful, disruptive and even caused criminal damage to DD's car, that's not what law abiding people do, too much time on their hands!
This is a great podcast. I have a better understanding of Dog Daddy's techniques, knowledge and genuine love of the dog. Whenever someone ventures into a very difficult area of training there will be opposition. Staying strong in your commitment matters because results matter!! (126.56)
Why don't we just move on and ignore the haters!!! I just want to watch DD at work. It works on my son's dog and my own. So stop entertaining this guy and move on.
Listen, envy will make ppl do scary things. Look what he's done so far. He's not stable. I wouldn't put anything past him. He's one of those fruit loops that would do the ultimate....not that he's some tough guy, he's a coward, but....he's too obsessed.
I think DD brought up the possible poisoning of his dog by the other guy is to send him & his followers a warning to not even consider it! Keep the grievances between humans and leave the innocent dogs out of it!
This Zack person, needs to be locked up, and charged with #1- harassment #2- terroristic threatening #3- stalking #4- defamation of character #5- bullying. This guy has gotten wayyyyy out of hand! There are laws in place to deal with people like him. The amount of jealousy, and vindictive behavior, and hate towards you, is getting worse, escalating to the point that I'm sure you must fear for the safety of yourself and your dogs, I know I would!
Obsession became addiction. That’s how I see this trainer named Zak George. Either he needs help from a therapist or a group of people been using him as their puppet on this issue.
Great video guys thank you! 😃👍 Please tell Augusto the echoing of his voice was just awful. I missed a lot of what he said & my ears almost got a cramp! Maybe he could get a bluetooth lapel mic mixer or something like that if it exists? Your voice came through loud & clear! I LOVE THE DOG DADDY!😊😊👍👍
Zac wants to talk the talk but can't walk the walk! People has challenged him to work with aggressive dogs, his response is he doesn't have to prove himself. Let me translate, He cannot work with the level of aggressive dogs that D.D. does!
I have just found dog daddy and seriously I can’t get enough of him. I’ve watch Zac before I found dog daddy I respect Zac but he doesn’t come close to dog daddy’s ability and skills. I hold dog daddy right up there with Caesar Millan they are my two go to trainers on UA-cam. I am amazed with this guy I could watch him all day because he is right there sadly he’s going to get haters that’s the world we live in which is very sad. Dog Daddy is so respectful to the dogs and their owners.
I was an observer in his Tampa outdoor classroom.
Augusto is a calm professional. He was personable, patient, & greeted each human & their canines. He made a plan & started with dogs that matched concepts his identified. Very grounded , in control, & no wasted energy
I have observed the ads & behaviors of his primary opposition; he appears to be externally reactive & his energy would appear to be unsettling to canine & human species alike. I have not seen videos where he demonstrates his training methods with aggressive dogs.
glad you had a good experience!
We ♥️ DOG DADDY!! He has help & saved so many dogs that otherwise will be “put to sleep”.
Thanks for watching!
I remember the very first time i saw you DD taking this super aggressive dog from the owner and working your magic. I was completely blown away with how brave confident and quickly you git that dog under control and stopped his behaviour he had learned and showed him another way. I said to myself "my god this guy is a legend". Those lucky dogs and owners to have you guide them to success. Keep up the fantastic work. Dogs all over the world need you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
Love. This young man taking on the difficult pets to help the the owners
thanks for watching!
Awesome video! All trainers have a difference of opinion on training. That's exactly what makes this field unique. Instead of dog trainers attacking each other on social media account's, try coming together, sharing idea's, techniques. There are plenty of animals in need, that no trainer should be so unprofessional as to attack a trainer verbally, protesting outside the class, crosses the line, attending the classes when it's obvious you dislike the trainer is borderline stalking. When you have respect as a trainer, good thing's will come your way. Thank's for having Dog Daddy on your podcast. Keep up the awesome work.
many, especially ones with massive followings have no interest in doing that unfortunately.
@@MiracleK9Training that's a real shame. Because it would be beneficial.
I adore and respect this young man so much. He has a heart of gold for dogs and people. When I first started watching his short videos, I admit it was because of the shock factor that caught my eye. I did not at first understand that he was not hurting the dogs, (it looked like he was pinching them) but a kind lady viewer explained what he was doing to me, and I understood. As I continued to watch I realized he was not actually hurting the dogs just trying not to get bit. I researched him and found that he came from poverty, so I do not judge his lifestyle now. Good for him! I am impressed he just wants to give back. That is called character. I am starting to think this Zak George must have a massive high school girl crush on Augusto! It certainly sounds like it! Stand in line and take a number Zakie! As you can see, I am a big Dog Daddy fan and yes, I'm an old, retired cat lady!! Lol!! This was a great podcast boys! Thank you! 😉
Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Exactly, Janabeubner9883!! You said exactly what I thought too. Love the podcast and glad you have put this on air and brought things to light.
A retired cat lady is exactly where you should stay, far away from dogs. What elderly woman says someone has a "high school crush" when they are many many many others bring up the same concerns? It's incredibly childish. You clearly know nothing about canine communication and training. I support balanced training but I wouldn't allow Augusto anywhere near my dogs. I never want my dogs to carry themselves the way even his personal dogs do.
lol cool story bro @@jrmints80
@@jrmints80Go to sleep, Zak😂😂😂😂
His transparency is rare! 💜👑💜🐕
Thanks for watching!
Love your transparency and sense of humor.

The best ever! Pitiful👀
That part was pretty wild lol.
Right?!? A wise man once said “Can’t fix stupid” 😅
Dog Daddy is absolutely a blessing to these dogs and people. There will always be people who are haters on others success. DD cares. He would probably prefer to not have this job because these problems don't exist but THEY DO. HE IS A BLESSING.
Thanks for watching !
Any true dog trainers should realise what this guy DD is trying to achieve with these tough exterior dogs who have learned behaviours. Wake up Zac George you are screwing your own reputation gunning for this wonderful young man....❤❤❤DD❤❤❤
thanks for watching!
Thanks for bringing Augusto back, excellent podcast. 🎯💯
thanks for watching!
Excellent podcast. You are a great interviewer and ask good questions.
Thanks for the kind words and I’m happy you enjoyed it!
You might be getting some more views, mentioned your interview on his channel. It is an informative interview.
So glad to hear that you're building your team to help the community and dogs! You are following your passion and teaching others to do the same. Wonderful podcast, it explains so much and shows you are genuine and true. Keep being YOU! ❤
thanks for watching!
I'm on Dog Daddy's side and I'm a cat person! 😺I'm going to attend his class as an observer in Tampa to SHOW my support. When I retire and get a dog, I want Dog Daddy to train them. ❤❤
Thanks for watching!
My daughter and I will be there too. Look us up and say hello. We will also be observers. This is my second time.
I was scheduled for Tampa but switched to NJ last week. You are going to really love it....wish I was back there so I could attend a second class. It was an excellent experience.
I'm on DD side!!!!!..... yeah!!
I'm a dog mom to a pit, and I support Dog Daddy! #dogdaddyunite ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Iv grown attached to DD after watching many of his videos, and seeing what he does to elevate these canines problems.
What I’m not a fan of is people disrespecting a man that can actually help these owners with their aggressive dogs !!
Thanks for watching!
@@MiracleK9Training
The pleasures all mine!! 👍
Thank you so much for conducting this interview and asking the questions that I'm sure have been plaguing many of us, especially about the poisoned dog claim. I had a feeling that there was an actual incident and that Augusto went to SM, as many of us have done, in the heat of the moment and after feeling attacked online out of fear for the welfare of his pets. What bothered me at the time was that ZG, who supposedly cares so much about dogs, had only the reaction of outrage of the accusation instead of first inquiring about the welfare of the dogs and assuring his followers that he does not wish any physical retaliation against DD or his pet. He did not do that. That spoke volumes to me and showed exactly who and what ZG really is.
I wasn’t super cool with that. Not a good thing to be saying about something. But he owned up to it which I can respect.
@@MiracleK9Training I think he was triggered in the true sense of the word. He's been bullied in the past. I'm satisfied with how he responded as well.
That's because deep down, Zak couldn't care less about dogs TRUTH
Y'all at Miracle are right up there with Dog Daddy and American Standard dog training as my most followed and favorite trainers. Your podcast sets y'all a cut above the rest and I love when you collab with the best trainers in the industry.
appreciate all the support!
Great podcast it good to hear you supporting Dog Daddy and giving him the respect of a fellow dog trainer i liked the fact you understood that he is trying to develop his way of showing the public a different way of helping troubled dogs! Sending tha ks from Scotland ❤
Thanks for watching! Everyone should be able to speak their message.
Zack is ridiculous. I would love to see him take on one of the aggressive dogs that DD takes on. Look at where this kid has come from and endured. He has rison above all the B. S
Very Well Said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for this video! You asked some really awesome questions. Glad to hear DD is open to learning and growing for himself and his way of training. It's how personal growth and business expansion is done. Another great podcast.
glad you enjoyed it!
Good job Miracle K9 Training. More power to you. I like how you did the interview. I support Dog Daddy's work because I see great results.
I just want to mention that dogdaddy’s short clip videos is what caught my Attention.. it might of seem intense but it made a big impact on me to see that this guy ( Augusto ) had such a unique approach in handling an aggressive dog . I owned a full size Doberman, Chocolate Labrador, Massive Pitbull and yorkie. It requires a lot of patience and a knowledge to train every type of breed with different personalities and problems.. I was impressed and subscribed instantly
Patience, something Augusto doesn't do.
Same. He's really nice in person at the group sessions.
@@jrmints80
We heard that bullshit before. You have to wait like 15 years, before the dog will appear to grasp some basic training.
If the dog dies before that, oh well, bummer, it would surely be trained some time in the future...
Stop inventing arguments here. We should not be patient towards dangerous dog behaviors.
It's tough. Like i said in the episode, those short clips highlighting the dramatic parts are the ammunition for the other side, but they are also what got him so many followers in the first place.
@@MiracleK9Training those clips was totally distorted to his ( zak’s) benefit in such a malicious way and I’m sure many agree .. people who deals with PR and is on social media all know to well how ( snippets or etc.) that could be misunderstood ( to put it mildly) this guy I believe is freakin desperate that he has to smear dogdaddy and others who is going well in life .. hmmm ?? all of a sudden “ narcissist “ came to mind .👺
My dog was trained using positive reinforcements but I will say this. I love and respect your work DD! In the animal kingdom, naturally every animal control their pups with disciplines. They sure don’t use treats to control their pups. Human just act so irrational and use their feelings to justify everything. At the end of the day, whatever method works to make your dog feel more confident and behave. A small discomfort temporary will bring so much happiness for the rest of their life. Keep up with your good work and save those dogs and continue to change everyone’s life.
Positive reinforcement is wonderful. And everyone is welcome to train the way they feel will work best for their dog!
Exactly right! It's like everyone's scared to say natural discipline works. Projecting your psychological issues and feelings onto the dog isn't fixing anything. You'll BOTH be healthier using common sense, even if it's uncomfortable at first.
Example, I'm terrified of wasps, this caused me to avoid my garden, my sanctity and sacred space. I decided to research everything about them, how they do everything, I watched a guy train a wasp. Seriously. 😂 I watched people take stings, etc. I desensitized myself. I still have a healthy jump back vibe I'm working on, but coddling my fears only empowers them. I now feel if I really wanted to, I could dominate a wasp and make it a pet, be calm around them mostly, or squish them if I need to. 😂 🌿🥀🐝🌿
I’ve trained all my large and medium sized dogs and completely agree with your comment.
One thing I’ve noticed being around many types of animals is they definitely sense a person’s energy when you or they first approach. Have you ever noticed a calm animal react when someone new approaches that you might not trust and with others not react ?
Good conversation. Good job of honest and fair presentation. I’ll sub
Glad you enjoyed!
Wise words for people from Dog Daddy too.
I'm in UK, and I don't know when the announcement was made to cancel. Still, I do know Zak managed to get enough folk to annoy the RSPCA & clog up their emergency line (our animal welfare charity) that they put out a public announcement looking for the venue location so they could attend and do a welfare/abuse check.
considering we've just had the undefined in breeding standards, XL bully breed banned (or will be by the end of the year) due to the number of bites and fatal dog attacks in recent weeks, never mind years, it's a shame because some of them could do with the help & I'm not naïve enough to think that letting a dog bite me vs some discomfort to calm down & then be shown new behaviours is unacceptable.
The UK has ALWAYS been the leaders in the push against aversive methods. So this all comes as no shock to me.
@@MiracleK9Training it's not coming from us though, it came from elsewhere, Germany etc have already banned them, although they are still used covertly & that's much worse.
ZG is the real danger to dogs and no consideration for any the consequences of any of his actions... puts me in mind of a narcissistic personality tbh .. i agree om in UK as well and the RSPCA isnt fit for purpose at the best of times .. they have alot more problems than an a dog trainer coming over from America
Too much power, just like CPS.
I do like the dad vibes u r having towards dog daddy too. Like can see how you genuinely want to help him through the crazy world of online opinions and how when your life becomes your business you have to start thinking about that side more. And I love how open he is to growth. Like many balanced trainers I might not agree with everything used but I’m not in the same circumstance so am always open to different ideas and opinions…. Open minded something a certain internet pup box advertiser should work on 😂. I really do love how you guys are always as much as possible are non biased and I love hearing your opinions on things coz it causes me to question what I know or have heard and see how it works with my own thoughts
Georgie so jelly. He's stalking. Its weird af.
💯💯💯
It’s going to backfire so badly on him. I had never heard of DD before Zak starting talking about him.
@@CrayolaCoffeeBeanIt definitely will backfire, and so many people are in the same boat as you, where they’ve only heard of DD from Zak. He really didn’t think it through before trying to take on DD.
Great conversation between u both .. most people who disagree with him haven't bothered to look further than his short vids, dont understand dog behaviour, jealous of his success and popularity or just folloeing someone else's opinion .... i see ivan has a podcast with him coming up ... hopefully after that he gets some peace and even maybe a bit more support from the online balanced community .. i honestly dont know how he handles it all this negativity and hate ... working with pet dogs in real tough desperate situations is stressful enough seeing how inhappy the dogs and owners are and its a massive problem in society right now .. hes a leader not a follower for sure .. keep up the good work guys
I think everyone forgets that its ok to disagree AND have a respectful conversation about it. there are tons i disagree with DD with. And we respectfully talked about some of those things here.
@MiracleK9Training u have a great way with interviewing .. maybe a career change option if dog daddy manages to fix all the dogs ;)
I have so much respect for DD. He truly wants to help these people who have tried everything for their dog. I wish him the best. 🐾
How about when the dog was so afraid of him it was pooping on the floor in fear and he continued to pull the dog closer? Did that impress you? How about when he taught the drop it behavior by pinching the dog? Simple command, beginner level stuff, teach it to puppies. But Augusto can't do it without pain, so impressive.
@@jrmints80 sounds like you’re exaggerating.
A lot of DDs clients have dogs with fear issues and aggression, so? He ends up helping them. I am impressed by the way he helps his clients. He is not abusing the animals. He is correcting them so they can be trained and so their behavior can improve and they don’t get euthanized.
@r.alexnovikoff6667 does he help them? His testimonials happen when people are in their high not a month or two later. But I'm certainly seeing from quite a few that they still have the same issues or worse with their dog. Now I won't say it's all of them but I'd be curious months later where these dogs are.
And no, I didn't exaggerate, these are clips Augusto releases.
@@jrmints80
Just kindly f**k off with these exaggerations.
Many dogs have genetic phobias. No slow desensitization process is going to help them. In fact as said many such dogs have undergone life long tries of training of positive only trainers.
Many such dogs profit of one such session permanently.
We will never see the same. We have different values.
You would rather see a life long suffering of a dog, because you can not allow a moments of unpleasant experience.
I however, would rather have a moments of unpleasant experience and better life for a dog.
Also, you are trying to negate effects of further positive learning experiences, which are now much easier, because the dog has learned some control.
Such bullshit must stop. We simply don't use just aversives.
@@jrmints80oh, you really followed up on all DD’s clients? Like I said- sounds like you exaggerate. Give it a rest and find another ‘abuser’ to go after. Why don’t you protest those countries that use animals such as dogs as a delicacy? Those animals legitimately need help.
My dogs vet watches Dog Daddy and he loves how he is able to change the lives of the dogs and owners, and sees he doesn't harm the dogs but actually teaches them how to be the dog they are supposed to be as well as teaching their owners how to handle their dogs so both are happy. That's good enough for me !!!!
@@carolrainey8463 it’s definitely not “unanimous” as far as the public’s opinion about him
Hmm...in what way? You don't say. I would argue its hands down unanimous if you are without prejudice out of jeolously. DD doesn't do anything to draw attention to himself. He is professional and articulate. He defends himself if necessary, but is not self seeking attention. @MiracleK9Training
@@MiracleK9Training jealous much? Seriously - only men hate on DD and it’s obvious that he threatens the typical masculine image.
Another great podcast you guys are doing great with protecting our ways of training plan and simple all 4 qs are needed

Fantastic podcast! Great questions (and answers!) Have you reached out to ZG to be on a podcast as well or is he "too busy"? I really enjoy your pods because you really try to be as diplomatic and unbiased as you can and give the facts as well. Keep them coming! Shout out from SOUTH AFRICA
I’ve reached out to him a gazillion times and offered him 2500 dollars for 1 hour of his time. He has no interested in this conversation past clicks and internet attention.
And I suppose because he won't be able to control the narrative, which is how he controls, influences and manipulates his little group of minions by using his "scientific" sounding words and phrases and play on emotions! He might be able to talk the talk (even though he can't actually back the talk up either) but his major problem is he just simply can't walk the walk... (even though he claims to have worked and helped many aggressive dogs - which I simply don't believe) I think he forgets to mention that none of these dogs that he claims he has worked with are over 6 months old! 😂
@@sharongeater Zak seems to prefer taking the passive aggressive approach where he can bully through cyberspace and get flying monkeys to do the hands-on work such as protesting the venues, etc. He's attacked many trainers, but his vitriol against Augusto is heightened because he's most able to exploit DD's content. I used to follow him, but he appears seriously unstable and bullying is not okay with me.
Clicks, internet attention, and advertising revenue from Barkbox!
THANK YOU!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Well done, definitely one of your top 10.

Thanks for inviting him!
I’m open to chat with anyone
And that's really cool.@@MiracleK9Training
Awesome conversation!!! I wish to hear if there are any plans for legal actions against Zac?
unsure. That wouldn't be something you would want to publicly discuss if you were working on it.
Please continue!!! U r so incredible with people and the dogs, society needs you!! Dogs are getting to stay in their homes with confident owners it’s so awesome!!!
Hope you enjoyed!
DD is unique. There is nothing wrong with the way he trains dogs. He is amazing at what he does. Not many dog trainers out there like him! My message to Zac would be…you don’t rise by tearing someone else down! Keep up the great work DD you have many supporters
After watching all the balanced trainers on UA-cam, I find 4 Trainers to be my favourite as all of you do your best to explain your methods earnestly which all made sense & very applicable to our dogs. Dog Daddy, your channel, American Standard Dog Training & Hamilton Training. Hope you can have a podcast with Hamilton Training too. I like this kind of positive exchanges between Dog Trainers instead of negative sabotages from the other guy! 👍
Dog Daddy and American Standard aren't balanced trainers.
I really like hamilton's page and plan to reach out to him soon.

Get salty Zak on the pod. He’s the real “dog trainer” who “knows best”. Zak should be blacklisted such a scammer of a trainer.

@@MiracleK9TrainingI guess Zak overlooked DD'S number of followers are now comparable to his which is also why he is now desperate to rid his competition before DD overtakes him! He also forgot DD'S followers are all genuine believers of his good work & will stand up for him if there was any injustice inflicted on him!
I will...!!!
This is sooooo familiar. The left never strays from their delusional ways. The DOG DADDY IS the gentle, and smart approach to all dogs including reactive and fearful ones.
Great thought. Maybe we should apply DD’s methods to liberals!
I just pray that all this nightmare would just go away !!! Come on !!! Seriously ! Dogdaddy shouldn’t have to be burdened by all this BS ..!! He doesn’t deserve it .. 😢 he needs to stay focused on positive things and put his energy to doing what he loves best and that’s to help families with dogs and to give Knowles to other trainers or just people that wants to help and rehabilitate problem dogs in general.. it’s truly sad that people can be that jealous and cruel that their malicious behavior affects not only dogdaddy but all of us who is part of his family of followers . I have faith that Augusto will come out of this stronger than ever .. 🙏🏼 ( I just wish people would leave him alone snd let him do what he enjoys !! And that’s helping people and dogs )
😂
This is a part of the game when you're as big of a celebrity as these guys are and are in as polorizing of a field as dog training is.
@@MiracleK9Training .. but truly …? Does he ( Zak ) even have anything to show for ..? I truly get that yeah all this mess happens to people who rises to the top :jealous !!!! 🤯 but Augusto started with nothing and because he believed in himself that he can accomplish life’s challenges he succeeded ..this is the story to tell .. and he is saving a lot of dogs and helping them ; giving them ( dogs snd people ) a second chance in life ..
The gold rises above the crud. Dog daddy sells a cure not books, toys, treats and merchandise. Dog daddy is out there doing the real work.
Hi David and Josh! I enjoyed the podcast, and the questions were excellent. It was a beautiful conversation. I was laughing so loud when Josh said “Zak George, if you made it this far, shame on you!” Yes, shame on him. No class whatsoever. In one of his videos, said something about the clients who went to DD went home and back to the same issues with their dogs. Did he follow up with them? How would he know? That’s a bold accusation. If there was any truth in that, wouldn’t there be at least a handful of clients speaking up about that? It’s not like they don’t have access to the internet and/or a camera to show how useless the classes were. He didn’t think of these things before he started and continued this attack. He’s toxically obsessed with DD and the all normal trainers.
glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Fascist ,fascist, fascist ZG behavior toward DD such as harassing his seminars and venue is entirely unacceptable fascist behavior that we have allowed his type to get away with and normalize lately and it will lead us to a very bad place. ZG should be ashamed and would but he has an utter lack of character or morals and it shows in his ability to lie about dogs with no regard to consequences as long as it benefits him. What scum!
Its a dangerous game that is being played right now.

That is such bullshit. Balanced trainers work with dogs who are fearful all of the time. You all are so pathetic and easily manipulated.
@@jrmints80Go to sleep, Zak😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely do not get the haters to DogDaddy. If i had a vicious dog or one needing his kind of help, he is the only one who can do it. If you don't prefer his training, go somewhere else. There is only one other trainer I would go to, that is local to me, that is any good for these types of dogs. Just regular training, for dogs that don't have problems, is still hard to find. I don't find people are good at it. I have been to a few and they are not great.
I get it to an extent. He is a polarizing figure and definitely markets him in a way that can really "ask for attention". But I don't think he's a bad guy and seems to care and is on the frontlines working with dogs.
He’s only polarizing because he’s authentically himself and most men have this fake strong man persona- whereas DD is himself and highly respected - the only hate is from insecure men that can’t handle his authenticity and gifts. Men nowadays are so insecure and it shows. Jealousy is a disease - all those jealous ass men should seek some medical help for their ‘condition’ 😂
Ive never understood why people are only drawn to short video clips. Personally, I usually won't even click on something unless it's at least 15-20 minutes long. I prefer to find videos that are 1-2 hours, though. Just a greater chance that I'll actually learn something.
our attention spans have gotten quite short haha.

Excellent idea🎯💡
Excellent podcast! Thanks for your objective approach. It allowed for great communication. Good questions and points regarding the responsibility aspect when having a large following. It's good to hear that Augusto is finding the constructive critisisms and is tweaking his approach from large classes to smaller classes with more time. (If I understood correctly)
I look forward to hearing your opinions in the next podcast.
Thanks for watching. I tried to respectfully bring up some of my concerns and issues and i think it turned into some good conversation.
This is an amazing type of podcast, I think it would really be good for us viewers if you included time stamps in your videos! I enjoyed all parts of this one but I think it’ll be great for me as a first time owner to be able to go back to the exact part of the video I need when I needed so I can apply the advice.
I believe we will be adding them soon!
Until they add them you can look at mine, they're not complete but better than nothing.
Perhaps it's a good idea to combine all your strengths together as a group so that others will think twice about bullying any of you as a group!

😎 I didn't think DD was being ruff ruff (haha) Joking aside ... I was seeing
DD making sure not to get bitten as the dog is jumping around.
Augusto uses longer soft leashes not to feel as ruff during a softer transition.🙏🏼💞
Thanks for watching!
He also uses the slip leash so that he can choke the dog out if it catches him. You can't do that with a prong collar.
I am a big fan . I don't comment on many things but I thought I would share .I'm a child care provider for children behavioral issues and I find there are so many similar techniques that are similar. there is a big difference between assertiveness and aggression. Firm but fair is one of my mantras. keep keeping on.
Definitely. But I believe even in child care, you see many of the same polarized camps of HOW to handle things.
The beloved Ceasar Millan has never had any formal dog training or dog psychology classes either. So attacking DD for this is ridiculous
Many well respected trainers don’t have the “credentials” that force free trainers claim to be all holy.
Appreciate the chat!
Some people on youtube are such cowards.
So much easier to comment on videos and make disparaging remarks about DD than to go to one of his seminars and form your own opinion I guess.
The lack of ability to have a face to face conversation like we did here is really the thing that frustrates me the most
I always prefer long form talks like this because you get beyond the "tik tok clip mentality" and you end up with much more genuine discussions.@@MiracleK9Training

Zak is a cult groomer and a bully.
He turned his frustration because of incapacity of training dogs in wrong direction, in bullying other proven and successful trainers.
Better it would be to seek therapy because of his mental and emotional disturbances and actually learn to train dogs.
We should not rest until his channel full of dangerous lies and misinformations, as well as harrasments, insults and bullying is put down and he and his wife are recognized for what they truly are: deeply disturbed people and in no way any reference in dog training, scientific or not.
probably aint gonna happen haha.
It definitely could happen. Having a UA-cam channel doesn't elevate you above the law and he's broke several imo.
@45:00 and @40:00 something minute, DD is saying "EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER" which my English teacher told his students too. With Augusto's family background around dogs, that makes sense. And seeing him with dogs in his house shows his passion for his job and love for dogs. To cut it all, Augusto's aim is to educate owners to become good leaders for their dogs and for the dogs to establish better relationships and follow commands from their owners. Totally SELF DISCIPLINE.
I agree with it for sure. Experience is massive.
1:40:30 It is called a civil judgement. Verdicts can be criminal or civil. Been thinking for a while that Zak George is basically begging for a defamation suit by repeating the "convicted for fraud" mantra. The burden of proof is not the same in a civil case as it is in a criminal case, so claiming a conviction is a serious misstatement of fact (unless there are actual criminal cases I am unaware of). But I have not completed the research into that, so didn't say anything about it before now. Thing is, DD's explanation is not really satisfactory either. A lawyer could have applied for the default judgement to be set aside if the service was actually improper / inadequate. And paying the judgement does not "make it go away". He could have offered to settle, which he could have done without an admission of liability, which would have made it go away, but that was off the cards once the judgement was entered.
Augusto is on camera accusing Zak George of poisoning his dogs. He deleted the video quickly but the internet is forever. Augusto doesn't have a great success rate with court cases, it's unlikely he would want to go to court with Zak George.
very interesting points. Thanks for that!
@@defendingthestrawman7103I concur
Regarding ZG You can't make the mistakes you're talking about if one isn't out there working hard, putting in the effort and helping people and their K9's overcome their issues. The only mistake ZG makes ad nauseum is running his mouth in areas he knows nothing about.
Zak George is just jealous of Augusto's success. I have never seen any videos of him training truly aggressive dogs and hard cases. He claims he's too busy to train those type of dogs, yet he has the time to stalk Dog Daddy. George thinks only positive reinforcement and treats should be used. However, it does not work to correct unwanted behavior, especially aggressive and reactive behavior. It's great to see you and other professional trainers collaborate instead of tearing each other down, like Zak George. Thank you so much for allowing Dog Daddy to give his viewpoint and continue helping dog owners.
Potentially. Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed the interview
25:28 (to 27:00)... Owners need the help immediately...
29:18 I do minimally harsh... compared to other balanced trainers
29:36...(to 32:05) eg. Dog redirects on the owner...
35:21... After Austin in October 2023, more trainers will be involved in the seminars
38:16... Noble cause high demand..
41:17... Offer a lot that you don't get in a regular trainers course...(41:28)
41:56... What I have that others don't do (have) is a VERY GOOD understanding of the dog...
42:11 to(42:16)... What that behavior will translate into... And what's available in the room that will work for him
44:55... again the difference versus other trainers is...
46:53...basic ideas or steps involved...
47:30... Third step... Repetition and proofing, in a positive environment to create positive association...
thanks for putting this together!
@@MiracleK9Training You're welcome, I appreciate your podcasts very much and I just heard Jeff Gellman say that he is now available for going on podcasts. He will also be talkin about DD and ZG this week on his own morning podcast.
Great podcast
Thank you!
He is doing dogs a huge favour by doing everything he does and he is taking all the hate and all the burden of it all as well. This guy knows his crap and I'd listen to him any day!!!!! After watching his shorts it's only made me intereseted in learning more about augusto, and if you haven't seen his private lesson videos, they are absolutely amazing.
Thanks for watching!
Dang....I was about to go to sleep....😂
Same here, suddenly my energy has returned.
I was about to go and take care of some errands. I'll wait...
Samesies.
Enjoy lol
Very smart and talented dog and trainer
Thanks for watching
Georgie is such a weirdo!
🤷♂️🤷♂️
You already made a successful argument regarding George's mentality several comments ago.
@@cherylmillard2067
We can't stress enough that Zak is a cult groomer and deeply disturbed person in my opinion.
If that notion is bothering you, you should look deeply into yourself.
I did catch that training with Zak the 🐕
There is a two legged Zak that could really spend some time wearing a muzzle, although I believe it would be difficult getting one on that one too 😂
God Bless The Heroes For All Creatures Great And Small 🙏💗😎👍🐕
He doesn't " sensationalize " his classes. The dogs he helps are their own sensational enity.. those dogs are actually dangerous to people and their owners. DD is able to turn off their bad behavior and teach them a better way. We love ❤️ him. We have learned how to change our own dogs bad behavior just from watching him on UA-cam.
he has so much. followers because his work is transparant and effective and. he shows. it time after time...most dog. trainers behave as dog whisperers but. dog daddy wants to help dogs and not earn a lot. of money...that is so nice about Augusto!
Thanks for watching
second thing is its very to the point and not very long watching to get the point ;-)
@@MiracleK9Training
DD kind of sounds like Matt Harnacke! Also, ZG is going to end up ruining his entire business & reputation as a result of this whole thing.
I'm not sure who that is haha.
Inciting people to be hateful, disruptive and even caused criminal damage to DD's car, that's not what law abiding people do, too much time on their hands!
This is a great podcast. I have a better understanding of Dog Daddy's techniques, knowledge and genuine love of the dog. Whenever someone ventures into a very difficult area of training there will be opposition. Staying strong in your commitment matters because results matter!!
(126.56)
glad you enjoyed it!
Why don't we just move on and ignore the haters!!! I just want to watch DD at work. It works on my son's dog and my own. So stop entertaining this guy and move on.
thanks for watching!
Listen, envy will make ppl do scary things. Look what he's done so far. He's not stable. I wouldn't put anything past him. He's one of those fruit loops that would do the ultimate....not that he's some tough guy, he's a coward, but....he's too obsessed.
You’re taking about Zak George right? He’s unhinged!!
I think DD brought up the possible poisoning of his dog by the other guy is to send him & his followers a warning to not even consider it! Keep the grievances between humans and leave the innocent dogs out of it!
This Zack person, needs to be locked up, and charged with #1- harassment #2- terroristic threatening #3- stalking #4- defamation of character #5- bullying. This guy has gotten wayyyyy out of hand! There are laws in place to deal with people like him. The amount of jealousy, and vindictive behavior, and hate towards you, is getting worse, escalating to the point that I'm sure you must fear for the safety of yourself and your dogs, I know I would!
lol idk about that.
Love Augusto. DD saves lives
DOGDADDY 🐾👑💯❤
Thanks for watching!
There are a lot of people that have a problem minding their own business. You know what they say about opinions and rear ends???❤❤❤
lol true
Obsession became addiction. That’s how I see this trainer named Zak George. Either he needs help from a therapist or a group of people been using him as their puppet on this issue.
Great video guys thank you! 😃👍
Please tell Augusto the echoing of his voice was just awful. I missed a lot of what he said & my ears almost got a cramp!
Maybe he could get a bluetooth lapel mic mixer or something like that if it exists?
Your voice came through loud & clear!
I LOVE THE DOG DADDY!😊😊👍👍
Yeah, unfortunately not having a mic was kinda rough for him. Thanks for listening though!
Haters hate. It’s all they know to do. Good thing is they’re easy to see.
Zac wants to talk the talk but can't walk the walk! People has challenged him to work with aggressive dogs, his response is he doesn't have to prove himself. Let me translate, He cannot work with the level of aggressive dogs that D.D. does!
I have just found dog daddy and seriously I can’t get enough of him.
I’ve watch Zac before I found dog daddy I respect Zac but he doesn’t come close to dog daddy’s ability and skills.
I hold dog daddy right up there with Caesar Millan they are my two go to trainers on UA-cam.
I am amazed with this guy I could watch him all day because he is right there sadly he’s going to get haters that’s the world we live in which is very sad.
Dog Daddy is so respectful to the dogs and their owners.
thanks for watching!
