Hey, we are not a very wealthy family and my Dascund got stolen so i want a new puppy i am 13 and very responsible for my age, i either want a german shepherd or a smaller dog, i want something cute, any suggestions?
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution pls answer I am nine and one time I was petting a dog it was my friends and she started looking like she was going to bite me and so I walked away and she bit me pls tell me why?
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
+Chelsey Evans I had a springer cross lab as a kid/teenager. He was one of the most intelligent animals I had ever met, I'm not surprised to hear he learned so quickly! Keep on training, I'm sure your pup will continue to surprise you :) Good job, you're clearly very hard working
My school had a fundraiser for our local animal shelter, and we raised over two hundred dollars in one day. Our city is super tiny you could call it a big town so it's a huge achievement
How to choose a dog.... 1. Want a Beagle 2. Read about beagles 3. See how hard it is to have a Beagle 4. Hear everyone tell how hard it is to have a Beagle 5. See videos about beagles destroying everything 6. Buy a Beagle
Nekejwowsn I can't adopt because my home enviroment isn't right for any adoptions. Not all people have the right lifestyle to adopt a dog, it is filled with screaming toddlers and a rescue dog isn't right for me...
+theindigolemon A really good breeder will have bred for temperament and done some socialization with the puppy before releasing him or her to a buyer. A rescue is an unknown in many ways and if you don't have time to work through issues that may not be apparent right away, it is unlikely to work out in the long run. All my dogs are rescues but they are not for everybody.
***** a puppy is better because it will grow up with the childrens noise so will adjust quicker. However a rescue could be skittish and not like little kids running about.
Awww! When Missy starts crying and you say, "It's okay, Angel!!" We say "Angel" all the time, even though that's not our Mylo's name either. We love your training! Mylo is literally the smartest dog at every puppy social we've taken him to. He's only 14 weeks old, and he's already jumping through hoops, skateboarding, agility training, etc. :) He does tricks when surrounded by tons of other puppies, and he's just a good boy!! We owe a lot to your videos. We also bought your book and have been reading it! Thank you!
+recycleonwednesdays We love him so much. I'm so glad people like Zak exist that raise awareness on how to train puppies right. I'm very grateful we found Zak's videos.
I work in a shelter as a trainer and also adoption counselor. Really appreciate all the guidance and reward-based training information. Keep up the good work!
1st dog comes in: Omg SO ADOREBLE! 2st dog comes in: Omg SO ADOREBLE!! 3st dog comes in: Omg SO ADOREBLE!!! 4st dog comes in: Omg SO ADOREBLE!!!! OMG WHY IS EVERY DOG SO ADOREBLE!! AH I love dogs so much!
Jane GB Just so you know, most service dog organizations (Paws With A Cause is the one I work with) need puppy raisers that train and live with the puppy from 8 weeks to 1- 1 1/2 years. Anyone can, including teens!! Look into it!
Fell in love with an online picture at the pound of my pup and felt her calling me. She ended up being a "level2" dog and is really similar to the first dog brought on in terms of personality. She's everything I was looking for! Very thankful for your videos as I was terrified of not having training experience
How i choose a dog 1. Want a husky 2. Read about huskies 3. Ask husky owners about huskies 4. Listen to the owner talk about how loud they are 5. By a pair of noise cancelling headphones 6. Buy a husky
Zech Wilsøn nu uhhhh I have had three huskys and have one right now, they are th best. They aren’t very trainable but they are the sweetest, and having a conversation with them is the loveliest time!
1. Want a husky 2. Read about huskies 3. Ask husky owners about huskies 4. Realize they are very good dogs 5. Look for a husky breeder 6. There are no husky breeders, this is southeastern US. 7. Get an Australian Shepherd :)
@@renah.3459 yes. They wouldn't let him inside so he is outside type of dog. Something like a guard dog. He is probably around 4 years old. When he was a puppy they did take care of him pretty fine. But as he grew older he needed a lot of walks and stuff. He used to run away a lot since he is a husky but they didn't want to lose him so he is now on the chain all the time and when somebody from the house comes out he seeks attention and love but they usually ignore him or scream at him if he is too noisy. This type of taking care of your dog is somehow considered to be completely normal in my area and I can tell you that at least 4 other dogs live like this on just my street alone. And this is way better than what some people do to their dogs. Don't even want to talk about local cats. Dogs have it way better here than cats so you can imagine how cats are treated here. What a fucking place to live.
With your upcoming video about "pit bulls" please discuss how that is NOT a Breed of dog but a group or types of breeds and how different they can actually be. Being in a city I have to constantly deal with how people assume it is a breed and they are all the same and act the same, obviously with the aggression myth along with it. It is so bad to the point of breeds blacklisted from apartments "Pit Bull" is listed as a BREED and any dog with even a hint of that adorable face gets rejected.
It IS a breed of dog. The American Pit Bull Terrier. So many people lump them together with American Bullies, Amstaffs, and American Bulldogs but they are all different and have different personalities/needs. Please don't spread false misinformation. All dogs are different, and yes pit bulls can have dog aggression, but that's not a bad thing at all. People need to know so they can make sure that the breed is good for them and so they can accomodate accordingly. Border collies and heelers have herding instinct, Golden Retrievers love to swim and retrieve, sighthounds love to run and can rarely be trusted off-leash, and a lot of bully-breeds like Pit Bulls can have dog aggression (different from human aggression). None of these are bad, they are quirks of different breeds. Lumping all blocky-headed dogs and saying "pit bulls are a type not a breed" makes it so that the GOOD, real Pit Bulls are lumped together with aggressive Dogos or other bully-breeds.
Raisin Robsi It was an example of another bully breed that is also targeted in BSL, that is commonly mistaken as a pit bull. Replace "dogo" with staffy, ridgeback, rottweiler mix, etc. Any truly aggressive bully breed individual that attacks a person or dog is lumped together as a pit bull by the general public/media. Which is what my point was, misrepresentation adds to the statistics that "pit bulls" are aggressive when in reality most of them aren't even real pit bulls. I love dogos, they are obviously not an aggressive breed in general.
I live in Muskegon, Michigan right on the coast of Lake Michigan and I recently adopted a puppy from my local humane society and she is a 15 week old Labrador mix and she came all the way from Louisiana!!! I call her my lil Southern Belle!!! Thank you Zak, your book and your videos has made training my puppy more fun and easy than I ever thought it could be. My pup and I have a lot of respect for each other that grows daily thanks to your approach of training. I absolutely love it and recommend it to every dog parent I know cuz like you said... you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!! 😍😃🙋👍🐶🐕🐩
I had a pitbull/lab mix... And it was so sweet. It never hurt anyone (on purpose, of course) he just loved everyone. My friend also has 5 pitbulls and they're awesome!
Zak I felt so connected in this video! The local animal shelter I volunteer with in Chicago went to Louisiana and saved a bunch of dogs and got them adopted! I got to work with a bunch of these southern pups! Thanks for what you do!
All of those homeless dogs seemed innocent and not the hostile type, the shelter I've went to, every single dog looked ready to kill someone... Didn't know a corgi mutt could be so hostile
You have great body language with the dogs! It is so wonderful to see someone assessing temperament that is so familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of behaviors!
I got a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. I got her when she was a puppy I tried to find the most calm pup out of them. A few ran right up to me. One was chewing on my shoe, another wanted to wrestle but then one just walked up to me with absolute confidence, zero aggression and fell asleep on my lap and I knew that was the dog I wanted. She’s afraid of no one, friendly to everyone, and is REALLY easy to train if you can get her to focus.
Besides the bones on the back she doesn't look extremely skinny. She could eat more and gain a few pounds but not much. She isn't far from looking like a truly fit and healthy dog. More food and more training and exercise and she will be super healthy.
We adopted one of these puppies from the Louisiana floods from a shelter in Virginia! I'm from Louisiana so it seemed like a great time for a new pup! Having the new pup led me to your videos. I've learned alot and hopefully she will learn alot too along with her now older brother.
Thanks so much! My new golden retriver/ border collie puppy can now sit, lie down, stand, shake, weave; high five, stay, look at me and is getting on pretty well with the leash!
Great training videos on this channel! Really simple to get to grips with. I was watching one of the other video's starring Jampa (I think it's the correct name) the Pitt Bull breed/type and some of the myths are just unbelievable. Good owner=Good dog, IMO. I do want to add that I've owned two Rottweilers, a Staffy cross Collie and a Doberman over the last 10+ years with no convictions to my name! Haha!
Recycleonwednesdays - I'm no professional but I have had a little experience with working with ex-racers many years ago as a kennel keeper/walker with a charity :) I personally think given the life they would of had as a racing dog, in that environment, they might be just about ready to relax and just be looked after. They may have had cruelty also. I've read many times that they are brilliant, resilient family pets that don't need the high exercise levels many are lead to believe...quite the contrary- a soft place to sleep and regular/daily moderate walks, good food, perhaps a play and run twice a week...but, I can't say for sure, having not lived with one, yet! :) As for being un-trainable or stupid; I can't really see that...as every dog, young or old, has it's unique view on the world and what motivates it. Needless to say, I don't think it would be in any way impossible for a ERG to fit in and adapt to your home. I think once you knew the individual dog you'd find ways of training what was needed/wanted. I must just say that the dogs I met were very intelligent, and extremely well behaved- walked on the lead, house trained, responsive and very very sweet. They are one of the oldest breeds (if not the oldest) and they just require love. Every dog can be trained
Welcome! I do have to say, depending on your rescue- do the research as they have all been through different/varying degrees of the "racing" life and some may need more understanding and patience than others, they are all different! :) I hope to one day adopt one, they are just so so sweet!
You're welcome too, Zak! I love your approach to training. There's lot's of people out there with varying methods, but yours I think is fool proof, direct, easy for the dog and owner and just, faultless! Rather than needing a 'personal meeting' with the trainer, you've helped so many which can't afford it with great vids. You've definitely taught me how to do things quicker. My dog is so relaxed and really doesn't need any training but he might like to finally learn "paw" just for fun! He was from a dear, lovely family that were facing a crisis and needed to move house. I prob can't buy your book here in the UK...but, I can make a donation.
Hi Zak, your knowledge and training techniques are phenomenal! I learnt more from this one session, and watching you in action with different types of dogs, than anything Ive ever seen in years!. The thing I love the best is when you said, it is better to reward the dog for doing right, than correcting them for doing wrong. Thanks for the great videos!
If the main thing keeping you/your family from adopting a dog is allergies, there's three things you can do: 1. Build your immunity up for dogs The more you expose yourself to dogs, the less that they'll affect you 2. Groom the dog more often (bathing and brushing). You'd need to do your research to learn how often you can safely wash your dog first, however (you wouldn't want to over-wash them and therefore dry out and damage their skin and coat). Again, regularly bathing your dog will help to greatly reduce allergic reactions and irritations. 3. Look into hypoallergenic breeds. Do your research! (This works for cats as well.)
Loved this video! I really hope it encourages more people to adopt vs buying, especially since this flood has put such a strain on Rescues. I will be adopting a dog soon, to be my ESA. This video was a great refresher in how to look for the right qualities in dogs for me. Thanks again for the amazing content, love your channel!
One of my dogs is a level 1 energy, the other a level 3, easy. It was really difficult at first to train Hendrix to be calm, but now he is a little angel. I would love to see shelters get better at assessing dogs, since many honestly don't know how to test a dog. Most casual dog owners wouldn't be able to handle a highly energetic or intelligent dog, and if matches were a little better, maybe it could fix this issue.
All dogs are trainable. Dogs don't need to be really energetic to learn agility or other dog sports. They just need someone who understands how to train dogs.
They need to know how to train that dog, I'm not a dog trainer but I've trained over 50 dogs do do at least one new thing, every dog learns a little different :)
All dogs are certainly teachable! Some dogs are more likely to excel at high energy dog sports. But more importantly, some dogs are more likely to ENJOY or not enjoy dog sports. Much like some humans love to do gymnastics and others don't! HA! Great point for sure! Thanks!
How I choose a dog... #1- I want a chihuahua #2- see videos on how annoying it is when they bark #3- see videos on how cute they are #4- read about chihuahuas #5- buys a chihuahua This is true I have a chihuahua and she barks at like anything even a dog or doorbell on tv but she is adorable and kinda like a guard dog that gives warnings
+Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution zac I'm getting a puppy from a shelter but I have a jack Russell terrier I'm confused on how he would react I need a little advice
+Sparkling Fay really nice that you are adopting. My advice is when you bring it home put both the dogs on a leash initially and always pet the resident dog first just so they don't get jealous. Good luck!!
Hey great video! I just wanted to ask if you could do a video about training a "skitish" dog, idk if that's the right term but my dog Axel is a black Labrador almost two and is incredibly high energetic dog, but he is very skitish or afraid of new things or even just commen thing, he doesn't really like the loud noise of the vacuum and he is always alert of all the noises around the house. Also there is one other thing I would like help on and that is when he sees another dog outside of our fenced in property he raises his hair up on his back and runs along the fence barking, idk what's the cause of this and how I can prevent this from happening but I believe he is afraid of them rather than dog aggressive, he also barks at people when the walk into the the fence but he has never attacked or bitten anyone. One thing I have done to help him is play fetch with him in the yard, now this is his favorite thing to do and it normally gets his attention on me even when someone has came into the property. I got him a spray citrinil spray collar and it has also stopped his behavior to barking even when it's off him, I think there is probably a better way to address the situation besides a spray collar. Hope you read this and possibly make a video on this topic and help me out! Thanks so much👍
You sound like you are making progress with fetch especially, so congrats on that! Dogs get good at what they practice and fence barking is one of those things with a built in reward. The dog wants the passing dog, car, or person to go away, barks, and hey the scary thing goes away! So of course they will do it again next time. Best is if you can block line of sight where these triggers pass your house so your dog is not given practice driving them off. For skittish jumpy dogs, depending on how extreme sometimes anti anxiety meds help them calm down enough to learn what is not something scary after all. For milder skittish behavior, just practice changing the trigger noise into a predictor of a treat incoming! Finally, you can work on general self-confidence by doing scent training games and you may want to try Real Dog Yoga to help the dog learn to calm down. Book is on Amazon and I love it for my stressed dog clients.

Hi Zak, thanks for this video. In my experience, dogs can take a couple weeks to months for their true personalities to come out after being in the shelter. Of my own dogs I adopted, the one who was shy and cautious in foster became my laid-back service dog. The one who was brave, cute, and more confident turned out to have extreme anxiety and reactivity to dogs, kids, and men. He still is cute though. My latest addition was exuberant and desperate to meet everyone at the shelter, very vocal. Once home he hardly barks and has a racer energy level--bursts of athleticism with lots of couch potato napping. He is a little anxious about children and only jumps up on me, being more reserved with everyone else. I am concerned about you predicting a dog to be good with kids without seeing them around a kid. Most of the dogs I have met who are not good with kids are fine with adults, apart from those with a high level of anxiety about everything (but a few of those are actually fine with kids). I work closely with my local shelter and matching can be challenging. There have been some scientific studies on single-session temperament testing on shelter dogs and there is no significant correlation with behavior after adoption. Read Beware The Straw Man for more details on studies of various behavior methods. Anyway, I like a lot of your videos and I recommend them to my dog training clients, but this is one I find suspect. In my opinion, the best way to find a dog who is a good match is to visit it more than once, and never adopt a dog for a household with young children without the kids visiting the dog first--and even then, be prepared to never leave them together unsupervised and you may need to work with the dog if anxiety about kids develops. Fostering to adopt like you suggested is very smart. But I think what is most important is to know that you can't know everything up front--that is part of the fun of adopting is that you both get to know each other. If behaviors develop that you don't like, have your resources ready so you know what to do to make changes, or at least who to ask. Finally, animal shelter staff can often get a better feel for a particular animal's personality over time than a single visit (even from a behavioral expert) so I encourage people to talk to staff and get their take on a dog as well. The staff member in your video was self-disparaging but I think she was underselling her contribution to the adoption process. You are right, however, that energy level is an important factor in compatibility. Grooming requirements are another. Social skills and drives (dog & human) are also a compatibility issue, but I don't know if they are possible to predict. And at least many behavioral aspects can be molded with training. Not so for exercise needs or grooming requirements. Anyway, thanks again for posting. It is an issue I have been putting a lot of thought into.
I love the simple way you teach "let go". I live next to training centre, all the techniques are "old-fashioned" and I hate the way they force the dogs to let go during protection training.
Help!!!! My Pit/box who's (2 & a half) I rescued from my local animal shelter. I've had her for 1yr and a half and I've noticed she's not playful. How can I get her to be playful?
Try food dispensing toys. They reward the dog for manipulating them and could encourage play. Also be careful not to scare or punish your dog. Finally check with your vet to make sure dog is not sick or in pain. Some rescues have no idea what to do with toys so you need to teach them!
I have often noticed how Zak kneels and uses his gaze or "eye training" - He actually made a point of warning on this method. I believe that with a first case scenario one shouldn't get to close to their face/jaws or paws, but he undoubtledly has a way to avoid personal injury - My suggestion to Zak is that he makes a written alert on the video about the perils of this technique. Most people and even many trainers aren't suited for this. BTW I want Mason!! Great Pit!!
Or you could just foster. "Oh, I don't want to foster because I don't want to get attached and see the, leave!" Dude, you would be saving them by fostering. You would really rather them die than have them leave you and hurt your feelings?
dude, you are a dog magician lool. I am about to get a Pomsky next month and I am learning as much as I can about dog basics and about Pomskies in particular.
I live in Birmingham UK Pit Bull type are banned here they come under BSL it's a stupid law, I would like to see it lifted, because it's not the dogs, it's the idiot on the other end of the lead that's got these dogs a bad name and also the Media, I have had dogs ever since was an 8 year old boy, my last dog died when he was 17 had him when he was 4 months old, I bought him from a breeder, the only way I can ever have a dog is buying one from a breeder due to all the stupid Red Tape sorry Barry this isn't right that isn't right I have given up on them, so 8 years ago I bought a dog from a breeder, it's the only way I can ever have a dog, thank God for Breeder's...
your videos have been so so helpful in helping me prepare for a dog. I would really appreciate it if you did a video on what to do on the car ride home with your dog and what to do on the first day you have him in your house.
spoon131 if you're enjoying their content, you shouldn't be using Adblock. You're essentially stealing a product and not supporting the person creating it. It's morally wrong. They need to pay for travel, camera/mic/computer equipment, editing, time and energy, etc to create videos for you and they make money from your view but you aren't patient enough for a 5-30 second ad to support the content you're taking from them. It's just messed up. Don't be that guy.
I rescued my dog.. he was insane at the shelter, jumping and pulling on the leash. No one wanted him cuz of he was knocking things over and just off the walls crazy. But once I got him home. He calmed down instantly. We haven't had any problems.
Bryan Navarrete normally, city facilities/shelters cost a lot of money. For example, my local non profit organization shelter has dogs for 400+ while the city pound dogs are only $65!
Bryan Navarrete They don't cost thousands. Also remember that they have been fixed and up to date on shots. Also vetted if there has been any health issues.
Bryan, I too have never heard of a shelter dog costing 'thousands' of dollars. But if the shelter is a "no-kill" facility, the staff there are committed to care for every dog surrendered to them and if the dog has a serious health problem such as heart worm this requires expensive (and highly toxic) drug therapy plus a huge commitment of time and effort on the part of staff. One of the best dogs I've ever met was was found by Animal Control wandering ill with heart worm and no id on the streets of CHico, CA, where we had just moved. He was a wonder! He was a champion at 'fetch', learned anything after one or two training sessions.
The reality is, owning a pet *does* cost money. The $100-200 you spend to adopt the dog goes toward the food, medicine, and spay/neuter for that dog. Once you adopt, you'll still have to pay for future food, vet bills, toys, etc etc etc! Generally, if you can't afford an adoption fee, you probably can't afford to own a dog. Keep that in mind, and remember, they pay you back many times over in affection and companionship!
There is an app called perfect dog and it lets you see everything about any dog you want. There is also an identification thingy where you can find a dogs breed, and another thingy that makes you take a test that chooses the best dog for you. It's also free. I love the app.
I think you should do this more I think people will take what you have to say about dogs in shelter more to heart since you have so much experience with dogs!!

Little late here but sammmmme. I want to train service dogs when I get older.

OMG yes.
I just did
Yep
Wendy Sehnert, I just Did that right now
Wendy Sehnert I wish I wrote this
Fell in love with an online picture at the pound of my pup and felt her calling me. She ended up being a "level2" dog and is really similar to the first dog brought on in terms of personality. She's everything I was looking for! Very thankful for your videos as I was terrified of not having training experience
How i choose a dog
1. Want a husky
2. Read about huskies
3. Ask husky owners about huskies
4. Listen to the owner talk about how loud they are
5. By a pair of noise cancelling headphones
6. Buy a husky
Zech Wilsøn nu uhhhh I have had three huskys and have one right now, they are th best. They aren’t very trainable but they are the sweetest, and having a conversation with them is the loveliest time!
1. Want a husky
2. Read about huskies
3. Ask husky owners about huskies
4. Realize they are very good dogs
5. Look for a husky breeder
6. There are no husky breeders, this is southeastern US.
7. Get an Australian Shepherd :)
My neighbor has a husky. Beautiful boy but sadly he isn't taken for the walk, he isn't trained, he is just on a chain in the garden all the time.
viktor halaj bro. Report that. The dog is on A CHAIN IN THE BACKYARD?!?
@@renah.3459 yes. They wouldn't let him inside so he is outside type of dog. Something like a guard dog. He is probably around 4 years old. When he was a puppy they did take care of him pretty fine. But as he grew older he needed a lot of walks and stuff. He used to run away a lot since he is a husky but they didn't want to lose him so he is now on the chain all the time and when somebody from the house comes out he seeks attention and love but they usually ignore him or scream at him if he is too noisy. This type of taking care of your dog is somehow considered to be completely normal in my area and I can tell you that at least 4 other dogs live like this on just my street alone. And this is way better than what some people do to their dogs. Don't even want to talk about local cats. Dogs have it way better here than cats so you can imagine how cats are treated here. What a fucking place to live.
With your upcoming video about "pit bulls" please discuss how that is NOT a Breed of dog but a group or types of breeds and how different they can actually be. Being in a city I have to constantly deal with how people assume it is a breed and they are all the same and act the same, obviously with the aggression myth along with it. It is so bad to the point of breeds blacklisted from apartments "Pit Bull" is listed as a BREED and any dog with even a hint of that adorable face gets rejected.
This will be covered. :)
It IS a breed of dog. The American Pit Bull Terrier. So many people lump them together with American Bullies, Amstaffs, and American Bulldogs but they are all different and have different personalities/needs. Please don't spread false misinformation.
All dogs are different, and yes pit bulls can have dog aggression, but that's not a bad thing at all. People need to know so they can make sure that the breed is good for them and so they can accomodate accordingly. Border collies and heelers have herding instinct, Golden Retrievers love to swim and retrieve, sighthounds love to run and can rarely be trusted off-leash, and a lot of bully-breeds like Pit Bulls can have dog aggression (different from human aggression). None of these are bad, they are quirks of different breeds.
Lumping all blocky-headed dogs and saying "pit bulls are a type not a breed" makes it so that the GOOD, real Pit Bulls are lumped together with aggressive Dogos or other bully-breeds.
I'm mean, you don't have to call out Dogo as an "aggressive" breed either.
Raisin Robsi It was an example of another bully breed that is also targeted in BSL, that is commonly mistaken as a pit bull. Replace "dogo" with staffy, ridgeback, rottweiler mix, etc. Any truly aggressive bully breed individual that attacks a person or dog is lumped together as a pit bull by the general public/media. Which is what my point was, misrepresentation adds to the statistics that "pit bulls" are aggressive when in reality most of them aren't even real pit bulls.
I love dogos, they are obviously not an aggressive breed in general.
mexicanine I like your icon. Did you draw that?
I live in Muskegon, Michigan right on the coast of Lake Michigan and I recently adopted a puppy from my local humane society and she is a 15 week old Labrador mix and she came all the way from Louisiana!!! I call her my lil Southern Belle!!! Thank you Zak, your book and your videos has made training my puppy more fun and easy than I ever thought it could be. My pup and I have a lot of respect for each other that grows daily thanks to your approach of training. I absolutely love it and recommend it to every dog parent I know cuz like you said... you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!! 😍😃🙋👍🐶🐕🐩
I'm not really a fan of pit bulls (had my fair share of bad experiences in the past with them) but Mason is so gorgeous, his eyes are stunning!
I had a pitbull/lab mix... And it was so sweet. It never hurt anyone (on purpose, of course) he just loved everyone. My friend also has 5 pitbulls and they're awesome!
CarlyIsRevolving You Can If No One Has Adopted Him/Her Yet
That was the owner fault not the dogs and 10 people I know who grew up with "dangrous" dogs really 11 because me to you should be a fan of pitbulls
I am not a fan of them either. I also have had a bad experience with them but I definitely have to agree that Mason is adorable. :)
Carly that’s what I have! Pit/lab mix (Amstaff/lab) to be more accurate.
Zak I felt so connected in this video! The local animal shelter I volunteer with in Chicago went to Louisiana and saved a bunch of dogs and got them adopted! I got to work with a bunch of these southern pups! Thanks for what you do!
Love the point you make... 'it's about rewarding the behaviours you like rather than correcting the ones you don't like'.
All of those homeless dogs seemed innocent and not the hostile type, the shelter I've went to, every single dog looked ready to kill someone... Didn't know a corgi mutt could be so hostile
Mutant Archer my experience too lol
Mojo The Dog 1 LMFAO you are so TRIGGERED
@@jaybrookestone3119 heh
Mojo The Dog 1 what’s ur problem...
@@shannon4407 I don't have one. Sadly, I'm not sure I could say the same about you. Are you in a mental facility yet?
I'm adopting my chihuahua this week. Never thought I'd own a chihuahua but he's the right fit for us and that's what matters!
My chihuahua hates actual tug toys but I tied knots into a long sock and it is her favorite! Anyway this is a great video!!
You have great body language with the dogs! It is so wonderful to see someone assessing temperament that is so familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of behaviors!
i love mason he's beautiful he looks like a super smart dog he learned so quick
I got a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. I got her when she was a puppy I tried to find the most calm pup out of them. A few ran right up to me. One was chewing on my shoe, another wanted to wrestle but then one just walked up to me with absolute confidence, zero aggression and fell asleep on my lap and I knew that was the dog I wanted. She’s afraid of no one, friendly to everyone, and is REALLY easy to train if you can get her to focus.
I don't even have a dog😂😂
Luhff Ghfrt I feel you bro.
Same 😡
Luhff Ghfrt same
Well then why are you here
Luhff Ghfrt same😂
Thank you for encouraging people to adopt and support Shelter Dogs!!
With the right training any dog can be a good dog
Just adopted a dog from the shelter...your videos have been so helpful! Thank You!
The second dog seemed soooo skinny. Was she just introduced to the shelter and are they still trying to get her to a healthy weight?
Besides the bones on the back she doesn't look extremely skinny. She could eat more and gain a few pounds but not much. She isn't far from looking like a truly fit and healthy dog. More food and more training and exercise and she will be super healthy.
이미송 Looks like she has Belgian Malinois, that breed is thin.
Mine is exactly the same
Mona B probably a malinois mix.. has the muzzle but ears are a little weird (to round)....
미미토끼 pretty sure it's just the breed
We adopted one of these puppies from the Louisiana floods from a shelter in Virginia! I'm from Louisiana so it seemed like a great time for a new pup! Having the new pup led me to your videos. I've learned alot and hopefully she will learn alot too along with her now older brother.
I really want Mason and Blue!!
Thanks so much! My new golden retriver/ border collie puppy can now sit, lie down, stand, shake, weave; high five, stay, look at me and is getting on pretty well with the leash!
Zak: Great things happen when they are in places like this
Dog: sneezing violently in background
I really appreciate how different energy dogs were shown. Also how to interact with them to see if they'll be a good fit.
They were all so cute! I want them all!❤😩😣
Same and they are all cute
Ice Wolf pack not only cute very friendly and very cute
zac, you are awesome. the way you interact with new dogs that you have never known before, it is awesome. it shows you truly understand them.
omfg stop changing cameras every second dude!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Freya East 😂😂😂😂 cameraman wanted to do a 360% video
Freya East Now that you mentioned that it annoys me so much, I will never see his videos the same again.
Freya East it was not him
Freya East Yeah, literally wtf was that at 1:27 like did we neeeed that shot
Freya East he doesn’t edit his videos
As an irish person, we are brutally honest.ure deadly.I've a borador, and she's so energetic, so thank u so so much.
Great training videos on this channel! Really simple to get to grips with. I was watching one of the other video's starring Jampa (I think it's the correct name) the Pitt Bull breed/type and some of the myths are just unbelievable. Good owner=Good dog, IMO.
I do want to add that I've owned two Rottweilers, a Staffy cross Collie and a Doberman over the last 10+ years with no convictions to my name! Haha!
Recycleonwednesdays - I'm no professional but I have had a little experience with working with ex-racers many years ago as a kennel keeper/walker with a charity :) I personally think given the life they would of had as a racing dog, in that environment, they might be just about ready to relax and just be looked after. They may have had cruelty also. I've read many times that they are brilliant, resilient family pets that don't need the high exercise levels many are lead to believe...quite the contrary- a soft place to sleep and regular/daily moderate walks, good food, perhaps a play and run twice a week...but, I can't say for sure, having not lived with one, yet! :) As for being un-trainable or stupid; I can't really see that...as every dog, young or old, has it's unique view on the world and what motivates it. Needless to say, I don't think it would be in any way impossible for a ERG to fit in and adapt to your home. I think once you knew the individual dog you'd find ways of training what was needed/wanted. I must just say that the dogs I met were very intelligent, and extremely well behaved- walked on the lead, house trained, responsive and very very sweet. They are one of the oldest breeds (if not the oldest) and they just require love. Every dog can be trained
Welcome! I do have to say, depending on your rescue- do the research as they have all been through different/varying degrees of the "racing" life and some may need more understanding and patience than others, they are all different! :) I hope to one day adopt one, they are just so so sweet!
Thank you Moggy! Glad you liked the Jampa video! And this one. :)
You're welcome too, Zak! I love your approach to training. There's lot's of people out there with varying methods, but yours I think is fool proof, direct, easy for the dog and owner and just, faultless! Rather than needing a 'personal meeting' with the trainer, you've helped so many which can't afford it with great vids. You've definitely taught me how to do things quicker. My dog is so relaxed and really doesn't need any training but he might like to finally learn "paw" just for fun! He was from a dear, lovely family that were facing a crisis and needed to move house. I prob can't buy your book here in the UK...but, I can make a donation.
Hi Zak, your knowledge and training techniques are phenomenal! I learnt more from this one session, and watching you in action with different types of dogs, than anything Ive ever seen in years!. The thing I love the best is when you said, it is better to reward the dog for doing right, than correcting them for doing wrong. Thanks for the great videos!
If the main thing keeping you/your family from adopting a dog is allergies, there's three things you can do:
1. Build your immunity up for dogs The more you expose yourself to dogs, the less that they'll affect you
2. Groom the dog more often (bathing and brushing). You'd need to do your research to learn how often you can safely wash your dog first, however (you wouldn't want to over-wash them and therefore dry out and damage their skin and coat). Again, regularly bathing your dog will help to greatly reduce allergic reactions and irritations.
3. Look into hypoallergenic breeds. Do your research!
(This works for cats as well.)
Rayann Midkiff wow thanks!
Or get a hypoallergenic dog
That pitbull 😍 God I just love these dogs, they are STUNNING, and what a sweet fun boy. Hope he found his forever home ❤
6:37-6:45 I always melted when dogs do that look 😌
Even more happy with my new pup after watching this video. He’s learned so much already in just a day
In my opinion he looks like a robot that knows everything
Lol
Loved this video! I really hope it encourages more people to adopt vs buying, especially since this flood has put such a strain on Rescues.
I will be adopting a dog soon, to be my ESA. This video was a great refresher in how to look for the right qualities in dogs for me. Thanks again for the amazing content, love your channel!
Thank you so much! I'm SO glad you like it! Good luck with your new dog!
I bet Zak's dog is the smartest dog in all of the USA!! :'D
Carrot most likely not
lol ok ahah :P
Carrot no.
Carrot they are! He has won many frisbee competitions with them!
I believe they are the smartest dog! Especially his new dog, Inertia!!!
One of my dogs is a level 1 energy, the other a level 3, easy. It was really difficult at first to train Hendrix to be calm, but now he is a little angel. I would love to see shelters get better at assessing dogs, since many honestly don't know how to test a dog. Most casual dog owners wouldn't be able to handle a highly energetic or intelligent dog, and if matches were a little better, maybe it could fix this issue.
omg I wish I.could get mason
all of these dogs look wonderful! i hope they all found homes
"You're like a chihuahua with a beard" Hahahahahha. Why was that so funny?! 😂
I just bought your book I can't wait to start reading picking up my baby huskie in 3 weeks!
All dogs are trainable. Dogs don't need to be really energetic to learn agility or other dog sports. They just need someone who understands how to train dogs.
This video (and most of Zak's videos) is aimed towards people that don't know how to train but want to learn
They need to know how to train that dog, I'm not a dog trainer but I've trained over 50 dogs do do at least one new thing, every dog learns a little different :)
All dogs are certainly teachable! Some dogs are more likely to excel at high energy dog sports. But more importantly, some dogs are more likely to ENJOY or not enjoy dog sports. Much like some humans love to do gymnastics and others don't! HA! Great point for sure! Thanks!
mason is a adorable!!!! I'm getting a 7 week old cavapoo puppy next week can't wait to use your training techniques!
: ,( i have no pet dog to train But I Always watch your vids THEY ARE SO CUTE
What an amazingly kind and emphatic person. 🌼
How I choose a dog...
#1- I want a chihuahua
#2- see videos on how annoying it is when they bark
#3- see videos on how cute they are
#4- read about chihuahuas
#5- buys a chihuahua
This is true I have a chihuahua and she barks at like anything even a dog or doorbell on tv but she is adorable and kinda like a guard dog that gives warnings
SuperCynthia copy
U copy cat
When they tilt there heads its so cute!!!! 💖💖💖🐶🐶🐶
Do you have a video on how to choose a new puppy among the others in a litter?
MrWufpack ...
Sidhantha neogi what’s the problem with this comment?
A good breeder would choose the puppy for you based on you’re home life, personality, wants and needs, etc.
I changed to purely positive training because of these kind of videos. Zack George thank you
Great video and I also rescued a dog!
You and your dog are awesome!
+Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution zac I'm getting a puppy from a shelter but I have a jack Russell terrier I'm confused on how he would react I need a little advice
+Sparkling Fay really nice that you are adopting. My advice is when you bring it home put both the dogs on a leash initially and always pet the resident dog first just so they don't get jealous. Good luck!!
I have been waiting a Germain shepherd ever since I was a little girl,my parents know that but won't let me get one but I respect their decision.
Hey great video! I just wanted to ask if you could do a video about training a "skitish" dog, idk if that's the right term but my dog Axel is a black Labrador almost two and is incredibly high energetic dog, but he is very skitish or afraid of new things or even just commen thing, he doesn't really like the loud noise of the vacuum and he is always alert of all the noises around the house. Also there is one other thing I would like help on and that is when he sees another dog outside of our fenced in property he raises his hair up on his back and runs along the fence barking, idk what's the cause of this and how I can prevent this from happening but I believe he is afraid of them rather than dog aggressive, he also barks at people when the walk into the the fence but he has never attacked or bitten anyone. One thing I have done to help him is play fetch with him in the yard, now this is his favorite thing to do and it normally gets his attention on me even when someone has came into the property. I got him a spray citrinil spray collar and it has also stopped his behavior to barking even when it's off him, I think there is probably a better way to address the situation besides a spray collar. Hope you read this and possibly make a video on this topic and help me out! Thanks so much👍
You sound like you are making progress with fetch especially, so congrats on that! Dogs get good at what they practice and fence barking is one of those things with a built in reward. The dog wants the passing dog, car, or person to go away, barks, and hey the scary thing goes away! So of course they will do it again next time. Best is if you can block line of sight where these triggers pass your house so your dog is not given practice driving them off.
For skittish jumpy dogs, depending on how extreme sometimes anti anxiety meds help them calm down enough to learn what is not something scary after all. For milder skittish behavior, just practice changing the trigger noise into a predictor of a treat incoming!
Finally, you can work on general self-confidence by doing scent training games and you may want to try Real Dog Yoga to help the dog learn to calm down. Book is on Amazon and I love it for my stressed dog clients.

Hi Zak, thanks for this video. In my experience, dogs can take a couple weeks to months for their true personalities to come out after being in the shelter. Of my own dogs I adopted, the one who was shy and cautious in foster became my laid-back service dog. The one who was brave, cute, and more confident turned out to have extreme anxiety and reactivity to dogs, kids, and men. He still is cute though. My latest addition was exuberant and desperate to meet everyone at the shelter, very vocal. Once home he hardly barks and has a racer energy level--bursts of athleticism with lots of couch potato napping. He is a little anxious about children and only jumps up on me, being more reserved with everyone else.
I am concerned about you predicting a dog to be good with kids without seeing them around a kid. Most of the dogs I have met who are not good with kids are fine with adults, apart from those with a high level of anxiety about everything (but a few of those are actually fine with kids). I work closely with my local shelter and matching can be challenging.
There have been some scientific studies on single-session temperament testing on shelter dogs and there is no significant correlation with behavior after adoption. Read Beware The Straw Man for more details on studies of various behavior methods.
Anyway, I like a lot of your videos and I recommend them to my dog training clients, but this is one I find suspect. In my opinion, the best way to find a dog who is a good match is to visit it more than once, and never adopt a dog for a household with young children without the kids visiting the dog first--and even then, be prepared to never leave them together unsupervised and you may need to work with the dog if anxiety about kids develops. Fostering to adopt like you suggested is very smart. But I think what is most important is to know that you can't know everything up front--that is part of the fun of adopting is that you both get to know each other. If behaviors develop that you don't like, have your resources ready so you know what to do to make changes, or at least who to ask.
Finally, animal shelter staff can often get a better feel for a particular animal's personality over time than a single visit (even from a behavioral expert) so I encourage people to talk to staff and get their take on a dog as well. The staff member in your video was self-disparaging but I think she was underselling her contribution to the adoption process.
You are right, however, that energy level is an important factor in compatibility. Grooming requirements are another. Social skills and drives (dog & human) are also a compatibility issue, but I don't know if they are possible to predict. And at least many behavioral aspects can be molded with training. Not so for exercise needs or grooming requirements.
Anyway, thanks again for posting. It is an issue I have been putting a lot of thought into.
😭I'm getting a dog if I get straight As! 😭
kaitlyn chan you can do it!!! :)))
emma lynn you're cute
You can do it
kaitlyn chan Good luck
I wish it was that easy
I love the simple way you teach "let go". I live next to training centre, all the techniques are "old-fashioned" and I hate the way they force the dogs to let go during protection training.
Help!!!!
My Pit/box who's (2 & a half) I rescued from my local animal shelter. I've had her for 1yr and a half and I've noticed she's not playful. How can I get her to be playful?
Try food dispensing toys. They reward the dog for manipulating them and could encourage play. Also be careful not to scare or punish your dog. Finally check with your vet to make sure dog is not sick or in pain. Some rescues have no idea what to do with toys so you need to teach them!
I have often noticed how Zak kneels and uses his gaze or "eye training" - He actually made a point of warning on this method. I believe that with a first case scenario one shouldn't get to close to their face/jaws or paws, but he undoubtledly has a way to avoid personal injury - My suggestion to Zak is that he makes a written alert on the video about the perils of this technique. Most people and even many trainers aren't suited for this. BTW I want Mason!! Great Pit!!
Or you could just foster.
"Oh, I don't want to foster because I don't want to get attached and see the, leave!"
Dude, you would be saving them by fostering. You would really rather them die than have them leave you and hurt your feelings?
dude, you are a dog magician lool. I am about to get a Pomsky next month and I am learning as much as I can about dog basics and about Pomskies in particular.

I live in Birmingham UK Pit Bull type are banned here they come under BSL it's a stupid law, I would like to see it lifted, because it's not the dogs, it's the idiot on the other end of the lead that's got these dogs a bad name and also the Media, I have had dogs ever since was an 8 year old boy, my last dog died when he was 17 had him when he was 4 months old, I bought him from a breeder, the only way I can ever have a dog is buying one from a breeder due to all the stupid Red Tape sorry Barry this isn't right that isn't right I have given up on them, so 8 years ago I bought a dog from a breeder, it's the only way I can ever have a dog, thank God for Breeder's...
markadoglet i dont understand why you can only get one from a breeder its so much better to adopt one from a shelter
your videos have been so so helpful in helping me prepare for a dog. I would really appreciate it if you did a video on what to do on the car ride home with your dog and what to do on the first day you have him in your house.
I realy want a dog now but im not alowed to have pets in my house 😣😣😣😣

spoon131 if you're enjoying their content, you shouldn't be using Adblock. You're essentially stealing a product and not supporting the person creating it. It's morally wrong. They need to pay for travel, camera/mic/computer equipment, editing, time and energy, etc to create videos for you and they make money from your view but you aren't patient enough for a 5-30 second ad to support the content you're taking from them. It's just messed up. Don't be that guy.
Anna you sound like the type of person who calls you sexist for choosing a boy over a girl when choosing football teams
"Don't be that" feminist
I rescued my dog.. he was insane at the shelter, jumping and pulling on the leash. No one wanted him cuz of he was knocking things over and just off the walls crazy. But once I got him home. He calmed down instantly. We haven't had any problems.

Meee too sus

The Dog choose you not you the dog😘
This was really interesting to hear how to evaluate all the different dogs. Really good!
they won't us to save dogs but when I go to the pound to choose one it cost about hundreds or thousands of dollars I don't get 😂
Bryan Navarrete normally, city facilities/shelters cost a lot of money. For example, my local non profit organization shelter has dogs for 400+ while the city pound dogs are only $65!
Bryan Navarrete They don't cost thousands. Also remember that they have been fixed and up to date on shots. Also vetted if there has been any health issues.
Bryan, I too have never heard of a shelter dog costing 'thousands' of dollars. But if the shelter is a "no-kill" facility, the staff there are committed to care for every dog surrendered to them and if the dog has a serious health problem such as heart worm this requires expensive (and highly toxic) drug therapy plus a huge commitment of time and effort on the part of staff. One of the best dogs I've ever met was was found by Animal Control wandering ill with heart worm and no id on the streets of CHico, CA, where we had just moved. He was a wonder! He was a champion at 'fetch', learned anything after one or two training sessions.
The reality is, owning a pet *does* cost money. The $100-200 you spend to adopt the dog goes toward the food, medicine, and spay/neuter for that dog. Once you adopt, you'll still have to pay for future food, vet bills, toys, etc etc etc! Generally, if you can't afford an adoption fee, you probably can't afford to own a dog. Keep that in mind, and remember, they pay you back many times over in affection and companionship!
I'm in love with Blue! 😍 Same cuteness and temperament as our Rottweiler-Chowchow. 💖
Omg, I just love you Zak!!!! And your energy with them and your knowledge of their behaviors!!!
I love how much how loves dogs😊🥰
I love Twinkie so much! I don’t even have a dog but I love your videos!
Awww, Blue reminds me of Chance from the Homeward Bound films.
Being compatible is important for a loving companionship
There is an app called perfect dog and it lets you see everything about any dog you want. There is also an identification thingy where you can find a dogs breed, and another thingy that makes you take a test that chooses the best dog for you. It's also free. I love the app.
Thanks for all the content you share. 🙏🏻
Would be great to have something on how to identify energy levels while choosing puppies. 😊
the head tilts 😍
I think you should do this more I think people will take what you have to say about dogs in shelter more to heart since you have so much experience with dogs!!
Blue is like The cutest ,who am I kidding. All of them are cute!!!
