Thank you for being here!! Leave a comment and let us know what you think about this series, and give us your suggestions for future videos!! 🤩
This is my rescue to a T. Major anxiety, everything the same except for barking (she does not bark all). I’ll throw in a monkey wrench and say my dog is not very motivated by treats, toys, or food. She will “train” if she wants, when she wants, for as long as she wants. She doesn’t like kongs, or bones (she has many but relocates them around the house only). She has terrible recall and only comes to you if she wants something. Will run into the street if not on a leash. She has flunked out of dog training for simply not wanting to engage or for being wild. She’s turning 5 (not exactly sure of age) this year. Please help 😢. She’s family to us and I want her to live a fulfilled, happy life.
I imagine this isn't easy to film in your own home for you or your family! So I just wanted to say thank you both for bringing us into your home, filming at times you might normally not be inclined to, being open and honest, and for dedicating 2 weeks to Moira. 🐶💗🙌🏻
😊
Thank you 🥰 We’re so glad you guys are finding it helpful!! 🙌
agreed!

@@OurEpicStory 🥰🥰 thank you!!
I love how you make it about her and not your ego. You never let her feel you’re upset or disappointed if a technique doesn’t work. You continuously give her positive feedback and redirect her. Absolutely love your approach!!! Learning so much from this series !!!! 💕
Positive feedback on negative behavior is inefficient and can be detrimental to aggressive dogs.....
@@joemamabidendementia nobody said anything about aggressive dogs here. She is no an aggressive dog so this method works for her. For an actually aggressive dog, yes, positive feedback and redirecting might not work and you need to do something else to train them.
This series should be on Animal Planet 👍
It really should
He did use to have a series on animal planet. Its gone now. :(
True but I’m glad it’s on UA-cam for more people to have access to it!
Of course it should zak is the best dog trainer ever
Agreed 😁 It’s just great because I love dogs and love to watch people train them because I want to see if I can learn a few things before I get a dog.
Zak keeps talking about her “new family” as if he’s not gonna end up adopting her. 🤣
I always feel so sad when dogs are bounced around, even in their own interest for training. First who knows where? Then a foster family. Then a training family. She tries to get attached and then there's another broken bond. I'm cheering for her to win over Zak. :D
I have a rescue dog that literally had the exact path of foster family -> training family -> to me! At first she was confused but she settled in within 2 months and others didn’t have space for her. Dogs are expensive and time consuming it’s best to have a family that is all in!
@@rach496 My rescue is now in his 7th home! This will be his forever home though.
@@cbcdesign001 My first adopted dog has also had seven homes. This one will also be his last. 🍻
Why did we get canine intervention on Netflix when we could have gotten this?
🙌🙌🙌🤷🏼♀️
@@breejustine omgg hii
Give Jas the same dog and he'll have a confident, happy dog with a lifetime of enjoyment ahead of him in a fraction of the time it takes these 2 imposters. Wasted time means a lot more to the dog than it does to us.
I'd rather teach swiftly and get the dog out the door and into the great big world than waste precious years before I can responsibly give the dog liberty to go off leash and actualize themselves.
@@gobiastart4832 would love to offer a critique or jas’ training methodology. Sadly Netflix only gives us a sob story and then a finished product at the end of the episode rather than theory of any kind. Would love to hear about Jas’ understanding of operant conditioning/maszlow’s heirarchy of needs/ his opinion of Skinner vs Pavlov. What scientific theory would you say Jas is grounded in? And why doesn’t he show the training process- why do we only ever see finished dogs on electric collars?
@@allthingsblue6990 restate your question or critique, I dont want to reply if I've misunderstood you
I love that you can see the change in her mindset already. She's a working dog and you can see she WANTS to work and learn. She's just never had the opportunity before now. I hope her new family continues to work with her. She's got great potential!
She is a super smart girl for sure!👍👍
My rescue was like this 2 years ago. We have come so far that I almost forgot how exhausting it was to get to where we are now. I’m proud of us.
Thanks for giving me hope that it won’t always be this exhausting
@@dianelovett92 it won’t! Just hang in there. There will be progress and regression , but you’ll see huge progress when looking back. What really helped was a note book where I wrote our current progress. So many thing I already forgot we were dealing with at some point. It’s a great reminder to be happy about where we are at.
This series means so much to me. As an owner of another energetic rescue dog, I have been trying so hard to work on a lot of the behavior issues that I’m seeing in Moira in this series. Thank you for giving me a real, blow-by-blow resource to help me through our struggles. Thank you so much for this series 😊
😊
I feel you! 1 yr with my rescue dog, and it has been quite the journey. Still some reactivity left, but slowly working through it!
the fact you're taking your time to teach your viewers how to train their dogs so that they dont end up in shelters is amazing.Keep doing what your doing❤
SO many people would have given up on this dog. Thanks for not giving up!
I most definitely Agree with you 💯on that one I had the chance l be willing to give my time to this Beautiful German shepherd dog
That moment of you being "more physical" is SO helpful and is why an older, untrained rescue dog is so helpful. It helps me feel like I'm not failing when it doesn't look like the tiny lower energy puppy that has never had anxiety.
So true! And Zak's version of "more physical" at no time involved him hitting stepping on or yelling at her. Truly so valuable!
I am signing up for the pup class.. you speak in plain English, and you feed knowledge from a regular person’s perspective, and not the alpha male, over aggressive perspective. It’s extremely refreshing!!
There isn’t any other training videos quite like this. My 18 month old male intact 100 pound GS still behaves like this pup. I’m doing my best to desensitize him to anything with wheels, people, dogs, cats, squirrels etc. he is crate trained. I really appreciate you showing the raw realities you’re facing with a breed that loves to chase and bite things. You’ve given me a new Hope! My entire family wants me to sell him. But I don’t think anyone would buy him the way he is right now and he would end up being put down. So I’ll continue on doing my best with a head halter taking him every night to a park with high-value treats and try to desensitize him after one hour of hard exercise.
It's nice to see a dog trainer who is honest about training an untrained dog. There are so many on UA-cam who show seemingly 'miracle' transformations to make them look good, when in reality it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to train an unruly/hyper dog. Thank you for showing the true reality.
I’ve been struggling with panic attacks and depression for a while now and since I’ve always loved dogs my therapist suggested I’d get one to help me. I’m getting a golden retriever pup in just a month and your videos are helping me so much! I’m over here taking lots of notes 📝 Thank you xx
I hope the little pup helps you, my little sister was suffering with depression and after my dad got us a new puppy she's been so much better. Dogs really are life savers ☺️
You may want to find a trainer to help ‘kick start’ the process with you. A trainer that trains both the owner and the animal. Even if it’s just a few sessions to build the self confidence 😊
I’m so happy right now. After watching the 1st video and now this one, I feel validated. Thirty years ago, I trained dogs using what worked for me and my Dobermans. I used many of your techniques including those you demonstrated for leave it, look at me, down, etc. I did very small steps at a time and it worked so well. Thank you! I can assure everyone watching that this technique really works well. You never need to yell, intimidate and especially never *hit* your dog. There’s no excuse for EVER hitting your dog.
Training dogs is such important work for quality of life of both dogs and humans.
SO true
And for building a relationship with your dog.
If Moira doesn't do well in crates, she'll just be a bed dog. She looks like a great cuddler.
Separately, this series has already started to help me with my dog, Ginny. I am teaching her "let go." She already knows "leave it" and "look at me." I've also realized that it's easier to train a dog on what to do instead of what not to do. My dog, Ginny, is very reactive. When we walk on the trail, she tries to lunge at people. For a long time, I was just pulling her away and saying firmly, "No." Now, I've been teaching her that every time I stop on our walk, she should automatically sit. So we stop, I put her in a sit and love on her/give her lots of praise for being a good girl. I make her stay in the sit position until the people pass with some distance, and then we resume our walk. This has also helped her to stop becoming overly excited because that's when she starts to pull on her leash the most.
My puppy wants to meet everyone on a walk too. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing!
thank you for the tips.😊
cute dog name Ginny😍
What kind of dog?
Are you a potterhead?
Not even kidding, all of the comments that I saw when I was scrolling through and reading the comments and Zak had hearted almost all of them!
I love that you're taking on a "challenging" dog. I'd love to see how you deal with fear aggression towards people and dogs without a prong/electric collar or other harsh corrections. Love your videos Zak and Bree!
I'm addition to that I would love to learn how to educate others in your family that think those types of "training aids" are acceptable and humane! 😑
This dog is not challenging, it's a puppy.
Prong collars are not harsh corrections. If you get a good brand (hermes sprenget) Otherwise the dog would be yelping, crying etc. prong collars distribute even pressure instead of choking a dog out with a flat collar and potentially damaging their trachea. You just have to know how to apply it properly. E collars (good ones not shock collars) are great to get a dog’s attention as well. I wish people would educate themselves and realize they are tools that can help dogs to train them. So many dogs who otherwise would’ve been euthanized have been trained with them. And you don’t have to use them for the rest of their lives. You should open your mind and not limit a dog’s training. Upstate canine academy on youtube has many videos educating people about prong and e collars and demonstrating tom davis helping reactive or aggressive dogs.
@@kevinthomas5902 exactly
@@flxwercxrpse1871 yeah sure, thats why in the Netherlands prongs and e collars are forbidden by law, like in most developed countries, because they are totally not cruel.. I really don't understand how people think spikes in the neck.. SPIKES! Aren't abuse. Or electric shocks in the neck. Unbelievable people still think they are OK to use. How deluded you must be. Prongs and e collars are so normal in the US, but outside of it, definitely not. The US really is a backwards country.
I must say I really really like your style of dog training. You have a good heart and you have compassion for the dog rather than just put her in a crate and walk away you look what she really needa. Lovely work ❤
The world needs more patient and optimistic people like you willing to work with untrained but still loveable dogs.
I keep seeing ppl saying they were a bit scared by her in episode 1. I have a ten month 120 pound mastiff, and his behavior is exactly like this. Not fun when you’re a younger teenage girl who’s super small for your age. He’s not aggressive, but he jumps and bites when he gets overexcited. I weigh less than him, so nooot good. He knows sit, down, and bed (placement command), so that’s a plus, and he’s good on leash. It’s playtime when all that falls apart, and he goes crazy. He’s a sweetheart, but he’s still a puppy, and has that over-the-top, hyper mindset.
What I'm excited for most in this series is seeing how Zak trains her so she can relax around other dogs. Also, I'm really happy you're doing an episodic series Zak! I hope more people find your videos.
Me too!
For me the thing that helped the most with the crate training was turning the crate into a dark cave/den with a cover while leaving the door open, started doing that when she was only a few months old and now every time its nap time or sleepy time she shuffles into the crate on her own to sleep. Its helped build that association when it comes time to run an errant or similar when she has to be kept in the crate for a bit while I'm away in that she will just go to sleep for the duration of time shes put in the crate.
That's what we did too. We pushed the crate up to the corner in our bedroom so two sides were secure and we left the door open so she could go in and out. Then we kind of turned it into a game, we would put a kong with peanut butter and her food in it (put it in the freezer first so it took her longer) she would go in literally one minute intervals with the door open, then shut and for her meals.She had been bounced around homes and was frantic in the crate but she was also excellent at getting into things that were dangerous for her if we didn't watch her every second. And since we had jobs and school I needed her to be unsupervised and safe or 2 to 3 hours at a time we needed her to be comfortable in the crate.. It took about a month but it was important that she was comfortable and safe.
The real question is why you are going to bed at 7pm?!?!
But in all seriousness, these videos are so helpful. Thanks Zak!
THANK YOU FOR ASKING THE TOUGH QUESTIONS 🤣🙌
Thank you for making a training series on an untrained dog! The fact that you and the viewer are on the same page with both of your dogs makes your tips actually useful and helpful. 👍 I have a really smart but "stubborn" 1 year old dog and this series helps.
This series is a godsend. Watching Moira is exactly like watching my own dog, just a different breed. Such a challenging first dog but so loving. Recently I’ve been wondering if I have what it takes and my morales have been low but watching these encourages me like you wouldn’t believe. It’s so helpful to watch all the little things that goes into bringing home a dog like this. Can’t wait to see more
Although Moira begins the video still needing work, I see a much more laid back girl that fast. She seems very driven by praise, and play too. It’s awesome. They’re just excellent dogs with proper training, and manners.
The moment when he realised he hasn't taught her "stay" was lol
These videos have been such a great help. The best part of these is he actually shows his mistakes as they happen, rather than only showing the success. It shows that doesn't matter how good you are, you still have struggles and that helps me know that I can do better too!
❤️🙌
I’m so thankful for this series. The public needs real life training videos.
I like how you adjust the training ‘menu’ like using a crate or bed, and make sure she is not too anxious. I believe that’s a great communication right there💕
I've been anticipating this and boy did it deliver! Moira is the perfect dog to train -- it requires skill and perseverance!
If only luring little brothers into their bedrooms to stop being annoying would work as easily as it did on Moira 😂
Love this series! Already watched the first episode and I'm excited to see how you're working with this dog. :)
We’re on our 5th GSD and each has taught us about our strengths and weaknesses as trainers. You’re a perfect role model for positive reinforcement and your behavior mod training techniques are very helpful for new dog owners. Thanks for all the fun vids...
Zac you are by far the best dog trainer around. A real empathy with each dog & a very evident love for them.
I love how raw and real this is! I have a rescue who shares many similar patterns with Moira. He's a sweetie and the biggest cuddle bug in the world, but when it comes to distractions, it's been a full year of constant struggles. The very end of the video where Moira is reactive and Zak holds her by the harness is EXACTLY what I deal with all the time. High-pitched screeching and pulling is by far the hardest thing to get him out of. My dog is now known in the neighborhood as a "showman" because everybody knows who's responsible for the screeching. It's pretty embarrassing! I'm looking forward to more episodes with Moira to see how she does! I would love to do anything I could to help my dude out.
Some families are " my dog isn't allowed on the furniture " people, and others are " of course the dog is allowed on the furniture, how else would i get cuddles?" People. I'm definitely the second. I have anxiety and my dog ( although she makes plenty use of her crate when nessary) preforms a job by helping me sleep well with her calming presence. But thats information the rescue can use to match her to her perfect home! I hope all the information you are gathering will help the rescue so much!
I really appreciate that you share the mistakes and moments that go wrong. The best part was how you responded to attention barking. My dog demand barks. You have show the training sessions but I love the real life moments.
The part where you had to physically reroute her movement lol you basically became a puzzle for her to work out in her mind. My GSD still does it daily and she's a little over 6 years old! She loves puzzles, hide and seek, and other similar games. Rainy day fun usually includes me hiding pieces of food throughout the house and telling her to go find it. Repeatedly. Until she gets tired. Eventually. Thank you so much for this series. I know I've said it several times here and on insta, but seriously. GSDs are a serious handful, especially if people think they're getting a perfect and gorgeous couch dog! These Czech lines are built for work, not yucky snuggly time lol (although as they age, they will snuggle and cuddle some until they get bored)
You don't understand, I LOVE THIS SERIES!
Thanks Zac. I am a teacher and I admire how you shift and pivot your instruction based on what is occurring during your lesson. Never letting pride get in the way and sharing your failures/successes is a wonderful way for all of us to learn! You are a wonderful teacher!
What a nice comment 🥰🙌
I absolutely LOVED that Zak addressed the "3 D's": duration, distraction, and distance. These aspects of fluency are super important in solidifying a taught behavior! Thanks Zak for your educational videos and making dogs lives better.
Zak does all this work to crate train her and then her adoptive family decides not to use a crate XD
Right!??! lol, it's such a great management tool though, let's hope the new family takes everything into consideration!
I hope you one day get a tv series. I know UA-cam is great and you have already reached millions of people, but you definitely deserve that. Thanks to you I have been able to train my 2 dogs (Pomeranian and jack russell/ schnauzer terrier). They are not perfect but with your help they behave so much better than they once did. Thanks ! And keep up the great work!
He’s had a few! Haha! UA-cam is our favorite place though 😜
Oh, Zak, you are secretly thrilled that she isn't a crate dog.
Look at this again and open your eyes yes doing nothing here of any good just being a thug and a bully he knows the dog can't defend itself so he can do what he wants and play little power games this should be shown to the rspca asap
@@sandralancaster7046 girl, you crazy, get off my comment
@@sniklegem If this sandra person is being serious then.... She is out of whack.
My new 8 week pup has been doing great with her tug and bite training and I've only had her for 5 days. By studying your videos with Kona, and watching your work with Moira, I feel like she'll be a great doggo. Thank you for making your informative videos available on UA-cam, I'd be completely lost without them. 🐕💕
To add, her "leave it" with treats and kibble has been PHENOMENAL using your techniques. Still working on transitioning the idea to toys and literally every single thing she sees on the ground outside😂
Watching you train Moira makes me feel confident I can train my dog-to-be on day :) Thank you Zak for all of your amazing videos!!
I’m so excited for this series, I have a 5 year old rescue black lab and I’m starting to train her
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! We have a rescue and he has a lot of these same problems. He’s a little dog but we know that he still needs all the same training as big dogs. This series has been immensely helpful!
I don't understand why people get mad at how he trains his dog because it obviously works and it keeps the dog happy
I know, right?😂😇😀
I admit I don't always find him consistent, also with his verbal cues, which creates confusion, and his timing is off sometimes. However, he is a good trainer in general and I love his positive training, which I prefer over 'balanced' trainers and trainers who work with physical corrections. But I do miss some strictness and following through. With inertia he had to lure her in a sit and to come with him for months, instead of her listening to the command. There wasn't much progress for a long time and for a trainer of his stature, that should not have been the case.
But his theory is sound and though it takes more time than for example with harsher training or an e collar or prong (which I hate) you create a way more stable dog that knows he can trust you and that loves to be around you.
So yes for his methods, but as a trainer he does have flaws. Yet I take away a lot from his training and I do use it. Because positive training works. And I'm happy this dog is getting a chance with him, and for him it will be a good learning experience too. Rescues are very different than green puppies.
@@liennuh same-I find his timing is off a lot and I think he’s lacking in clarity and crispness with a lot of his training. The amount of time between his marker word and when he actual rewards sometimes drives me nuts, plus all the hand gestures. Also I definitely have different goals than he does-I rely much more on management than training every little issue, and I prefer to focus on competition obedience vs pet dog training. But I 100% love that he’s a relatable person for a lot of pet dog people and that he is teaching some pet people a kinder way.
@@liennuh Yeah his timing and mechanics are terrible. Almost hard to watch. He is super unclear especially to newbie viewers that when he has 'trained' something he has actually just started something and has many weeks of proofing that behavior, with distractions and increasing criteria, and finding ways to generalize it to other contexts. He trains like a new dog owner that has done some research and watched a few youtube videos, not someone who's been a trainer/'expert' for years. This is how I trained sit and down when I had no idea what I was doing, and had no idea about markers, timing, etc. This dog is smart so she will figure it out, but it's not good training. For example, in a 2min period he used the same generic hand signal along with three different commands (sit, let go, stay); used a different hand signal he hadn't taught yet for sit; asked her to 'look at me' and rewarded/released the second she looked away lol; asked her to 'leave it' in a context when she clearly does not know it well enough to succeed, with the toy; etc. Obviously everyone makes mistakes, but these are simple mistakes that a good trainer wouldn't make, and if they did, would be able to explain it so that people watching would get it right. For a smart dog, even if your timing isn't perfect, some things they will eventually figure out; for others things, its super important. And it's always better to be as clear as possible to the dog, so that it is easier for them to succeed. On another note, there are also many other in-between steps you can take for crate training if your dog seems to be showing some separation anxiety. There are so many better and more knowledgeable R+ trainers to watch to get more efficient training and even slightly more comprehensive information. I see why people like him, he is very relatable - but the way he acts is like your friendly neighbor you're seeing train their dog, not an 'expert'.
"When she gets it, she really gets it". I'm currently working with a couple of dogs who are like this. They are really smart and learn so, so fast.
This series is literally bringing me to tears! You helping give her a second chance to find a new family is so extremely heartwarming. You can tell how much potential she has and all she needed was someone like you to be patient and work with her :’)
Thank you, Zak, for reminding me that we are all human ☺️🐕🐕
I got a German shepherd puppy in August and have been following your channel since then! Seeing you work with Moira feels so validating since play biting and tugging were big issues when I was working on training and your videos helped me channel his mouth drive into positive interactions!
He loves using his mouth and nose to interact with the world so learning to teach him to use his nose to better adjust him to the world has been awesome! GSDs are so much fun to train and it’s so rewarding training such a high drive dog who wants to work!
Really enjoying this series, so educational and I love the fact that it has real life, unedited bits in this series. Thanks for keeping it real.
Definitely loving this series. There's so much 'new puppy' stuff out there and it's nice to see these issues being worked through.
For me, this is the most relatable in all of Zak’s series. It so realistic and so practical. Seeing and relating to everything he is experiencing and realizing that I’m not a total failure and that like Zak you have to preserve and train, train, train. Here in the this series, training is not always perfect and a process whereby Zak is perfect when imperfect. Well done! Encouraging to all of us.
Wow, I have to say, I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but I'm just so amazed by these videos. This series is seriously great and I''m just at the part where you are teaching Moira how to "Stay" using the toy and I just love how you explain everything and how what you do is really on a case-by-case basis. Anyway! I'm learning a lot and for that I'm grateful!
I love this series! It gives me so much confidence as a kid training my dog who loves to pull and lunge on walks. I also love the intro Zak!!!🐾
i love this! i couldn’t find any videos of you training a dog like this. i mostly watched for learning tricks. this new series is going to be so helpful for my german shepherd. he has really bad separation anxiety and he walks so well even as a heel, but as soon as a dog passes he loses complete focus. i’m so glad to see a dog being trained with the same issues my dog has.
Yesss loving the new series!!!!!
Finally this came out! I have been waiting for this so much! It was definitely worth the wait! Thank you!
This series really is amazingly helpful. REALLY like the longer videos with tons of information/detail as well.
Omg she is so smart! You can totally see that she is engaging and learning so quickly!
I’d enjoy seeing you take all kinds of different dogs from shelters, working with them and seeing all the levels of training, and then finding them homes 🥰
Love your patience with her and that you appear to be having fun, even when she's being difficult
Zak I just subscribed recently to your channel. I left a comment on the first episode of this reality training. I don't know how to thank you enough for how you train dogs. I totally resonate with your sensibilities regarding dog training. I'm the woman who has a service dog that I owner trained. I used very old techniques because I trained for 20 years but I'm 62 years old now. Back then we used E collars. of course using them correctly, and no treats were ever part of being a dog trainer. it's really come a long way and I love how you represent positive reinforcement training, because you stick in there with reality. What it's REALLY like to train a dog. And you show here's what you do if it goes wrong. Finally. I have been on UA-cam for years I cannot relate to any of the other very well known dog training channels. I just don't flow with what they're about and most of them show positive reinforcement training with a perfectly trained dog on the task they are showing on the video. it doesn't show a realistic dog. A dog that isn't perfectly trained when you get it and how to keep going in little increments to achieve results. You are a gift to me as I am going to be training my new little service dog. And I need it to be simple to understand and simple to know how to properly attain excellent results. I'm so excited Now I feel ready when my new dog comes that I will rescue to become my service dog. Have a good evening !!
Moira has loads of the issues my dog also had. I struggled so much with her and we still have work to be done because whenever I leave home my parents break any consistency there was. It’s so ressuring to see that sometimes even professionals are having a hard time.
I am so impressed how quickly she understands what is asked of her!! This series is looking to be amazing :)
I really need this series to my 6 month old puppy I've been trying to train him but hes just crazy lots of distractions and very energetic but hes very smart.
I’m loving this series!!! The BEST!!
This is simply wonderful! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Zak you're amazing. I love you and your approach. You have been the single best resource for me after we got our crazy girl rescue pup. Shes almost exactly like this pup. You made me understand it's okay to be frustrated, and what to do about it. Thank you for all you do!
This is a great series! Thank you Zak! I have a adult rescue dog coming at the end of this month. I've been reading lots of books but there is nothing like watching the reality of someone else going through it.
I LOVE your new series with Moira!! She is exactly like my dog, Buster...we have almost all the same issues (jumping, biting, getting too destructive with other dogs and people on the walk) and your videos are helping so much already! I can’t wait to see the rest!
Love love episode 2! Helpful tips on knowing the pup was anxious in crate. I love the realness of everything captured from episode 1 being overwhelmed and episode two messy hair because it’s reality!! I can definitely relate too. Thank you for all the tips!
Thank you so much for this! It is great to see a challenging dog . We have a 2 year old lab mix that was rescued with no prior training. She has come a long way but has a long way to go. This series will help.
We have a malamute with the exact same training issues. I am so happy to see the same struggles that we went through. He is better now but still reacts to dogs. That one bit hasn't gone away. I will keep watching the series as it is very helpful. Thank you for doing this.
You are so totally awesome. You are helping me so much with my 7 month year old German Shepard mix. He's such a good boy, but an anxious one too. I applied your methods, I got results within a day. Amazing!
I just got a 5 month old Dutch Shepard who acts just like her. These 2 episodes have helped me a lot.
Your patience .. love it. I am sure training her and as tiring but very rewarding. ❤️
Crate training was a no go for my pup, too. We actually started with your Pupford course when puppy came home four months ago and it has been a fantastic foundational course. It was good to hear you say "crating might not be for her", as I thought I was failing massively in that area. It's nice to have an indication that for some dogs, that might just not be the route to go. Great new series!
Love this new series!
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you.
Very good new series! I’m glad I’ve made it. It’s exactly what we need
I love how he views this as something huge or especially challenging when this is like the starting point for most dogs I've ever met.
Love this series. I have a wild dog at home and this helps so much.
I really love it cause you keep everything so real and explain why.
This series is so great! I love watching dogs transform. We have a 1.5 year old Labradoodle (who was the exact same age as Inertia when her series came out!) hopefully we will start fostering dogs in the next year! This series is so inspiring!
I'm really learning a lot from this series so far, thanks for filming the training sessions!
I appreciate how REAL this is. I think many of us get frustrated because we arent dog trainers and seeing someone who always has every answer and a perfect dog who listens every time makes it easier for us "non trainers" to give up when what works for one dog doesnt for another. I'm dealing with that when Moira learned so quickly to "let go" and I sprained my wrist and had bloodied, blistered hands after attempting the same with my pit bull BUT, seeing you trouble shoot and adjust for each dogs unique temperament and personality shows me that it CAN work, I just have to reevaluate and adjust for my own enthusiastic baby. Just remember we support you, because I know I cant be the only one thinking this. You got this!!👍👏❤
Thank you zak for the app, I cant believe its free, really help full, appreciated 🙏
I love this series even more than the last! Training Moira is challenging and Zac doesn't try to hide that or play it down, but he is still optimistic and there are results! Much to learn here, I'm taking notes and looking forward to the next episode!
I like how real you are! Thank you for posting these videos they are super helpful and you are really helping a lot of people!
Finally !!! I've been waiting for ep 2...and I really like positive reinforcement than use harsh punishments and stuffs like shock collar. Good work Zak ❤
Thank you! I'm on the first week with my rescue dog with some of the same behaviors and this is a lifesaver!
