I've never read a book so fast! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.
This episode made me strangely emotional. As someone who is dealing with the exact reactive issues in my dog that Chop has I know the feelings of fear and embarrassment that come with bringing your dog out in public. Seeing how much progress Chop has made is truly inspiring. You should be so proud and happy for all you and Chop have accomplished. As someone who has fostered several rescue dogs I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping give dogs like these a second chance. A lot of people are afraid of getting rescue dogs because they will have bad habits that are unbreakable. You are showing everyone that this is not the case. Thank you for everything.
Hey Zak just got home from the hospital after saving a dog during a dog fight ; I hope you’re aware your work is so much appreciated I can’t even find the words.
New to dog ownership and the waterproof shoes are such an unexpected but accurate sponsorship!
The brand must have reached out to more dog related UA-camrs, as I have seen Molly Burke (a blind woman who showed the viewers her process of retiring her former guide dog and getting a new one) advertise them too.
I find these training series quite interesting. I am a volunteer at a local dog rescue. Many of the dogs are like Chop and the two dogs in the previous series. I will continue to try to improve my communication with the dogs and helping the dogs become more adoptable. Even small improvements to make the dogs more easily likable by the general adopters is so helpful. I noticed that our rescue gave a link to Zak's training videos and that is how I found him. I am no longer trying to reinvent the wheel.
thankyou for helping dog parents find a kind way to help their reactive dog. We have had our Lucy for 5 years now and its taken every minute of that to get her to a point where I finally have confidence taking her out walking by other dogs. She checks in with me now, watches me like she is asking permission for everything she does. Love your videos and your treats!
Glad things are working well for you and your dog. Thats how you know a dog feels safe around you and dont have to worry about anything because you can handle whatever comes your way👌
I love Chop's personality & looks!...it's gotta be so tough to know you have to give him to another home. I woudn't be able to do it at this point!! You have done amazing work with him in such a short time.
Hii
You also probably didn’t watch until the end - this dog needs to go back to its kennel.
Thank you Zak for having this series and being an example of positive reinforcement for us
I'm all in on learning Zak's methods. I know a lot about the other ways but I want to give this a go. Thanks Zak.
We've got a 15 month old english bull terrier that started showing some leash reactivity a few months ago. I've enlisted the support of a behaviourist/trainer but seeing your videos taking a street dog to such a civilised gentleman with positive reinforcement and buckets of patience has given me the extra hope I needed to know that the hard work *will* pay off!
Congratulations for getting a handle on this behavior quickly and enlisting the hel of a positive trainer! You're doing the exact right thing.
My border collie was afraid of the entire world when I adopted her. Following a lot of Zach’s methods she is now a confident angel! Good luck!
ua-cam.com/video/SddSK0Q_gdc/v-deo.html
Give him hot dogs and make sure nothing gets within 50 yards just like zac and that’ll clear up all your problems!
Your honesty is so refreshing...u show the rough with the smooth...excellent
I love the title of this episode! You and Chop are very inspiring to help me work with my excitable dog. Thank you! : D
Chop pushed the bone aside and rather joined the training of Inertia , great ! 🙂👍
Hi Zak and Family! Happy New Year! I enjoy watching your videos! I can't wait until you have Chop at the point where you feel that he is ready for his new home.🎆🎊🎉❤️💃🏾🙏🏽
I got a tear in my eye when you said next is Chops final episode. I hate to see this series end, it's been my favorite!
yeah me too!😪bye chop
Mine too. I have a strong reactive boy so I can really relate. I loved George and Moira too though.
You all realize the dog attacked the new couples dog immediately????? This is low key promoting dog fighting. Y’all are fuckin sick people.
@@conorlinehan4434 How do you know it was immediately.. the 2 second next episode clip showed it right away but for all you know they were together 4 hours before they had a fight. I doubt he is promoting dog fighting. I would wait to see the next episode before you speak up with all these insults toward who knows who.
@@conorlinehan4434 You read a lot from a preview clip. Also, this is the reality of owning a young male dog. If you don't train him there is a good chance that he will pick fights with other males especially when the new guy comes into "his" territory. That's not promoting dog fighting, it's showing what owning a dog can be like.
I am sorry Zak, but after a month of continuous training this is terrible progress. My rescue Rottweiler was already parallel walking with other calm dogs and far less reactive than this after a month. He started out more aggressive and reactive than Chop ever was. Loose leash walking on a regular collar - just stopping when he started to pull - and firmly saying no and then rewarding sit when he tried to lunge or bark at other dogs got me far further than this in a shorter time. Unless you live in Alaska or walk your dog at 11pm, you have to confront, train and socialize your dog with other dogs. Avoidance is impossible. Food aggression..now that took longer, being a Rottweiler and all.
Finally, I’ve been waiting all week😄
Cheers from Juneau, Alaska! I discovered you 4 years ago when we got a golden retriever puppy and I was looking into positive training techniques. Your training methods have worked so well for us that we added a chocolate lab puppy to our household a year ago. I am thrilled to see that you have moved to Anchorage and that you're rehabbing a village dog. I'm looking forward to Chop's DNA reveal, I'm guessing he's got some husky and malamute.
I was wondering where this is located . They used to be near New Orleans right?
@@cindyrobertson3798 YEs but thy got 3 house Anchorage New Orleans (Metairie area) Atlanta
I love my vessi's! Thanks for pointing me in the direction.
OK so you finally talked me into trying Barkbox. I got the super chewer for my GSD. He loves it so much I even got the add ons. You are right, they are high quality toys.
I have a super chewer girl. Loves toys so much. I love the toys they have and have been given a few, grea but too much money monthly. 😔
I remember when you and Bre were wondering what "George" was preparing you for.. You really gotta wonder what Chop is prepping you for! Happy New Year!
It’s really great to see you show an EXTREMELY reactive and sensitive dog. Very similar to our dog. Great to see what a realistic working distance for some dogs can be. Other shows have dogs greeting within minutes but we have been training our dog for years and a greeting with stranger dogs still seems out of the question. Great to see how much management is involved and how much work actually goes into counter conditioning episode by episode.
You think Chop is extremely reactive...? Maybe more reactive than other dogs we've seen Zak work with, but not EXTREMELY.
yes that why that positives training is not good for thoses kind of dog....put that dog in a good trainer and in half the times the dog is good
you can do it! Believe in your dog and trust them. They will let you know which dogs they want to meet and which they would rather not. It's been 2.5 years, but now my reactive dog has neighborhood dog friends. I always try to meet other dogs if their owners are willing. I believe in you and your dog too, you can do it. It's also ok if your dog wants to be alone, as long as they are happy! Best of luck.
The dog gets excited which makes him seem reactive, but really he's just a pup figuring out his boundaries. This is not an aggressive or fear aggressive dog, you'll never see Zak work with one because his methods don't work on tough dogs
I'm sorry but this dog is NOWHERE NEAR extreme levels of reactivity or sensitivity, not even remotely close. Such behavior simply can't be corrected by positive reinforcement methods. Dozen of biologists and dog trainers on UA-cam have already called out Victoria Stillwell, Zak George and a bunch of other extremely popular ''positive reinforcement only'' dog trainers and they did it publicly over all social media platforms. Not a single one of them replied to any one of the dog trainers and biologists who called them out and not a single one of them even had the decency and manners to at least acknowledge that they have been reached out to - except Victoria Stillwell. She was the only one who replied, I think it was over Twitter or something, I could be wrong, anyhow, she said herself that she won't even accept dogs with extreme issues, especially aggression and didn't answer when she was asked why. It's because not a single one of these positive reinforcement dog trainers have ever seen or worked with dogs who are actually aggressive, dogs who have actual, intense fear issues, dogs who have actual, intense reactivity and sensitivity, so on and so forth... Because they know they can't do anything regarding such behavior by using positive reinforcement methods.
Love your series cant wait for another banger video
Chop is doing so good! So much improvment since the last time he had an outburst.
Nice! Chop has made some really good progress with being reactive! You're right, it moments like that, that we wait for with reactive dogs. It was nice to see him leave the bone for treats when he saw what Inertia was doing! I'm concerned about the next episode with what looked like a dog fight! Hoping for the best! Thank you for showing us these videos! So helpful!
There’s no dog you can’t correct or turn obedient 💪💪
chop has improved so much! it's great to see all the little progresses paying off.
He hasn’t improved at all…he immediately attacks the new couples dog LOL.
These zac George followers are on some heroine I can’t even believe we are watching the last couple minutes of this video.
@@trevorjennings721 why have you been singing for every girl in the comment section-
Clearly Chopped is motivated smart and has a good setup here in training support. Great job all!
I will miss Chop he has worked so hard, as have you . I hope Chop has a wonderful life with his new owners I loved this series . you and Chop have done so well cant wait for the next video.
I have ex racing greyhounds and find them difficult to train. Would love to see Zak George train one of those. They are quite different from other dogs, trained and bred to do one thing and one thing only. Chase!
We have trained our greyhound to come when called ,lie down on his bed to receive his teeth cleaning stick He understands down to lie down he understands when we want him to go into his crate which he absolutely loves
He stays inside with an open door if we tell him to stay (we have a completely fenced in property )
Many greyhounds can’t sit due to their anatomy Our dog plays fetch for a short while and then gets bored as if to say why do you keep throwing the ball away They are pure magic when running fast
I think the reason they don’t train easily in the classical sense is that they are very independent dogs with their own minds and they consider any instructions with a yeah na which means they will respond appropriately if they feel like it
It might be fun to see Zak training one though
@@nikkimatthews8917 yes ours can go to their bed, lie down, touch hand, look at me and leave it. Which i consider a real accomplishment! Their recall is intermittent which of course is why they will never be let off lead unless in an enclosed area. I would just like to see what is possible though!
Every video leaves me wishing Bark Box would come to the UK soon!
Hi -a great alternative for us in the UK is Butternut Box - amazing product and customer/dog service! Am still looking for the waterproof trainers though...
Really enjoy and appreciate everything you both do... thank you so much for being you and giving these beautiful animals a chance to be adopted to there new forever homes xxx
Hello Karen, how are you doing today, hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
When I see that this channel has millions of subscribers it makes me feel better about the world.
As I am approved to take a rescue dog from Spain in 2022, I have been watching a variety of dog training videos. I love yours and have ordered your book.
I last had a dog in 2004. He was 17 when he died. I have been waiting to retire to have the time, I had two elderly cats, the last one died 6 months ago.
I am now retired, but I have a very small income. It has taken me 6 months to save up the required amount, and I am awaiting a small second pension to begin in March.
I volunteer at the local rescue and will continue to do this.
You could say I really want this dog. That said, I know what I want, not a big dog like Chop, although he is lovely, so I am still hastening slowly although I can't wait. I feel I owe it to any potential dog to be sure. I have seen several cats and dogs returned to the rescue, and they get so depressed. Thanks Zac. I was an infant teacher and one time Foster parent. Firm kindness is always the way!
I hope you and Bree had a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year's Day. And I love your statement: "I REFUSE to be ALPHA". Yep. I will always refuse to be alpha. I'll be a leader, instead.
This. But most people who see 'I refuse to be an alpha' will think it means you can't correct any behaviour ever at all. A good leader shows you what is expected, but will tell you where you go wrong, too, and then how to change that. That is what Zak has been doing, with small corrections here and there, but certainly no 'alpha roll' or the use of prongs or shock collars.
@@EvelineUK Amen!
@@EvelineUK you're describing a balanced trainer, Zak doesn't use corrections at all, that's why he has such poor results after 4 weeks of continuously training Chop.
@@brazzlerazzle3834 He does use some corrections, like his 'na-ah', or withholding food reward or the ball, or removing him from a situation where he gets overstimulated. They also tell him off when he toilets indoors, obviously. But yes, not enough to call him a 'balanced trainer' as such, but enough to not call him 'strictly positive trainer all the time' either.
@@EvelineUK Withholding food rewards is part of positive reinforcement, reward the behaviours you like and ignore the ones you don't. Encouraging him away is diversion and distraction not a correction. He's as positive as you can get I can't see how he could be further along the scale.
No one is better tha Dig Daddy 💯!! You have an absolute GIFT!!!
Zak you’ve done a great job with Chop👏👏… he’s a beautiful dog and is turning into an obedient dog💜💜💜💜
Chops bid personality is like my dogs big personality.
I adore him.
I love this series so much because it helps me apply it to my own dog. I’ve NEVER had a reactive dog and my new 1 year old rescue has proven to be a challenge. He is completely unsocialized due to being raised in quarantine. He gets EXTREMELY excited around other dogs to where he whines and lunges. Around humans, he barks, growls, and pulls. I’ve gotten better at his attention but I can’t seem to get it once we leave the backyard even after months of training. I was so disheartened and almost gave up since I didn’t seem to be able to help him. However seeing these videos have given me a new drive and I hope that I can somehow break through to him. He’s so sweet and I wish I could show that side to other people 💕💕💕 keep it up 💕
Also if you have any tips or tricks PLEASE help 😭💕
I would definitely recommend finding an R+ trainer that specialized in reactivity. It’s just really helpful to have someone to support you fully and help with your expectations. But the main thing is always trying to keep your dog under threshold. Once they become overwhelmed, they aren’t really able to learn anything
@@mlynn998 thank u :) I’ve been trying to find a trainer but money is definitely an issue. I’m trying to save up so hopefully I can get extra help :,)
@@cjohnson1961 I completely understand that! Maybe an online trainer could be a bit more affordable? Most FF trainers I’ve seen have an online option. Could be worth checking out
@@mlynn998 Really??? Thank u so much I’ll try that out 💕💕💕💕💕
Can we take a minute and admire the cute photos behind Zak!? They are adorable!! 😍😍
Just got some Vessi’s and they are really handy for all of us dog owners! Love mine!
Hes adorable and you did great im so happy for you both, my girl is basically going through this right now
I CANNOT believe we're this close to the ending!!! I love Chop so much.
We got a husky mix puppy for Christmas and she looks so much like chop to me! I have loved this series.
You left us @a cliffhanger I don’t know if any of us can wait for next week to see what happens however this one has been a bunch of cliffhangers like when he jumped off your guises deck/porch thing on the second floor& happy year Bree and zak and inertia and Angela
The method you use where you block him and go face to face is what worked for my dog a long time ago. You get all the attention on you. It's took me awhile but that's how I fixed his reactivity.
I’ve been waiting all week too checking in a few times a week! But I love love these series and this series in particular. I find myself watching it and I get so excited I’ll literally exclaim ‘YES!’ Out loud when I see chop being a rockstar.
Ps my dream is to meet you one day to tell you thank you for all you’ve taught me and how it has created a new passion in me I didn’t know was there. My first dog is a Siberian husky and I used your 1st book like the Bible to train her. She’s now 4 1/2 know over 45 different tricks. Has a solid recall and most importantly we have an incredible bond. I credit you always for giving me the biggest gift of my life.
Can't say enough how much I appreciate these series!
Glad to see a new video! :)
Omg, you reminded me of blues clues guy today 🤣 I've been watching you for 3 years now and training my collie along with inertia and sharing with my friends ❤
Bravissimo Zack! Un mondo di consigli preziosi per i proprietari di cani di tutti i tipi. Sono diventata dipendente dai suoi video e io e Blue ci divertiamo da matti con gli esercizi che riesco ad imparare dai video di Zack. Grazie e saluti a tutti dall'Italia.
So I have a question. If a dog is never allowed to experience frustration how is he supposed to learn to work through it in a good manner?
Because we surely agree that there will be a point when he will get frustrated.
With a correction you teach that bad behavior has a negative answer, just as positiv behavior has a good reaction . Every coin has two sides. Thats Nature. Night and day, Cold and warm, Loud and quiet…
The good, loving, understanding training full of empathy, and the correction to teach him that some things are just not acceptable. It’s frustrating for him, but so is a powerful mommy correction to her puppies… they learn better and faster, and that implements a deeper feeling of security in them when they know BOTH boundaries
It's great to see Chop's reactivity really improving. Dogs can be reactive from feeling threatened or insecure, and making harsh corrections will only make them feel more threatened or insecure. Obedience out of fear is not the goal and it's great to see the benefits of positive reinforcement. Also loved the shoes :-)
Hello Emily, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
Tbf Chop does not look insecure at all. He looks mostly frustrated and obviously has no impulse control. Of course this is to be expected from a dog that hasn't been trained. While I don't think corrections would be an issue for Chop they also won't make him "learn" impulse control faster. He mostly needs time and I think Zak is on a good path with him.
It’s cool how you are able to fit so many infomercials into one dog training video. The shoe pitch was almost seamless.
I love how chop did shake
PS:
Is it just me or am I more focused in the park in the background in 16:07
Thanks for this , i have dog that was relocated and Came to me at 11 months and he has been a rractive dog and I have had hard time to improve this part , as I have two others that just whine a bit and then passes with no issues , though he gets too excited and thinks that it means that you need to bark .. and it get worse and worse . This is awesome :)
We enrolled with a trainer last year in January 2021, when our GSD's fear reactivity was at its worst with unknown dogs and people. We got her at 7 months untrained and with separation anxiety. Her separation anxiety is gone. Initially, the trainer did a purely positive training similar to this way before and it barely improved the fear reactivity with our GSD to people and dogs after training for more than 6 months since January 2021. She had very good dog obedience but she would still bark and lunge at unknown people and dogs. We were stuck at the 3-4 metre threshold for ages. We also do mental and physical exercises daily with her.
We switched to a balanced training approach and after a month, we were able to move forward. She is now 2 yrs old, she can now walk in crowded places around people and dogs. She now plays with doggy friends and now we can have visitors come over in our house. I can talk to someone in front of me without her lunging and barking at them. She can now go out in public and listen to us if she gets distracted.
@@melgigz178 yikes, I’d rather my dogs emotional state be improved, not just suppress “bad” behavior so they do what I want. Fear free training takes longer but is much more effective and better for the dog.
Chop is a great dog and would be the goodest boy with some more training. Hope he finds the best home ❤
Zack should think about more shoe endorsements because he sports some pretty awesome kicks!
Next challenge for you Zac train two dogs at the same time . Having two and divide the attention training them evenly can be challenging.
I love how Chop has gained weight just by being a few days with you guys!!! Kudos…you guys are the best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He was with them for _4 weeks,_ and got better food (and treats) than he did when living on the streets or at the rescue.
Yaaaay another videoooooo let's gooooooo
You're amazing Zak
You done so well with chop…. All things considered. 👍🏻😁
You really built up the suspense not releasing a video last Sunday. The way the trailer and the other pre-series video were put together, I was honestly thinking he attacked inertia at some point. Now I’m not so sure, and I’m anxious and excited for the next video. I’d say good luck, but you already know how it turned out. Here is an idea for another series, short daily videos in real time with an overview for each day rather than us being months behind reality. Maybe then you could do a series structured like this one that goes into a bit more depth of that dog‘s journey.
That sounds exhausting for a creator to maintain. Big budget shows are almost always filmed months in advance. Updating every day or week is a lot of work. I wouldn't want to put that much pressure on one person with a full-time job that isn't content creation.
@@princepotion True, but with shorts being a thing now, that could be one way of doing it. It wouldn’t be as detailed which is why I would say to also do a detailed series in the normal format.
Good stuff thanks....
Beautiful dog
I’m getting a boxer puppy for my birthday
I think the inertia series will help
Would love to see training tips on a nervous dog with fear avoidance issues
go see good trainer like beckman....cabral...or thomas davis
Definitely don't do Cabral or Davis.
@@wildside306 ah yeah right .... they used prong and e-collar on dog that need them to be fix ....when positives trainer would say for the same dog....no that dog cant be fix..nothing cant be done...dog gonna end up in shelter and they gonna be put to sleep......they save more dog than zack will ever do
@@sebg2086 ecollars a a sure no-go, but prong collars work really well and are safe for the dog
@@sebg2086 OR, hear this, you actually spend time working with the dog on their emotional distress instead of just hurting the dog when it reacts in a perfectly reasonable way. Stop trying to suppress your dogs communication and maybe try listening to them once in a while.
Ahahahah the progress is above our expectations!
It's nice. Positive Reinforcement!!
You are best 😁❤️
Where did you get your treat training pouch? What is your opinion on gentle leaders?
Thank you for continuing to promote positive reinforcement training. There's sadly, still way too many people who get off to the "alpha" mentality. I've had rescue dogs since I was a kid, from all different situations and all different personalities. We worked with professional trainers on multiple occasions- all positive training. Its amazing to see how far they come- and how much fun working together can be for both us and our furry friends.
I agree with the alpha comment, but I gotta say, you do need to take a bit more control then he does in the video, leash pops work wonders in a public setting for example
YES
I've been watching your channel for months, and finally have your books on the way. I have learned so much from you! I have an 8 month old Icelandic Sheepdog, a breed very similar to Border Collie. (requires a lot of mental and physical activity, loves all dogs and people so much that she gets overly excited to see them, and HATES to be alone), but with a piercing bark that is a bit hard to live with. I think the biggest challenge I've faced this time compared to previous dogs I've trained as puppies is that I have children now. It changes EVERYTHING. Having others in the home that are constantly reinforcing the behaviors I'm trying to correct is just ridiculous, not to mention how much my time is divided. I think your books are going to become required reading for everyone in the house so that we are finally all on the same page. This video of Chop reminded me a lot of what we were working on today, I had Fagra at the sledding hill with the family, with my pupbox treats, and practiced being calm despite other dogs and so many kids squealing as they flew down the hill.
Hello Melissa, how are you doing today, hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
Hi I’m a dog sitter and I have recently been introduced to you Zac and it has been incredible to me.
My question is that, can I teach the dogs something now and then as a sitter? Isn’t any problem regarding this?
Thanks for the response!
If you refuse to the the leader (Alpha) your dog will see you as a roommate
Where do u get those water color painting of your dogs??? Ive been wanting to get one for my dog
I really want to know what harness Chop has on. It looks like the Reddy maroon harness, but it has 4 clips. I want the one Chop has for my dog.
Hello Elyssa, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the virus??
You know the fun thing with the whole discussion about alpha or no alpha, is people create all stories about what a alpha is.
Alpha is simply a leader, the leadership style what is used by the alpha is personal. Sadly people have the vision a alpha need to be agressive and always having the upperhand.
You lead the dogs with your style and learn them to cope with certain situations. So you are the leader or alpha. You teach and direct them.
Bit annoyed at the false impression that we were going to see Chop with his new family in this video 🤨
Hello Janine, how are you doing today, hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
I've had my ten year old border collie since she was about 18 months. She doesn't do well with other dogs when we're out and about or, specifically, in our front yard. Watching your videos hoping to get some tools.
14:11 that is the cutest thing I’ve seen this year :P
Not exactly where where that is, but that baby moose is pretty darned cute!!
I am looking for an new dog training pouch with a magnetic closure. What are you using? I can not find a link in your video description.
What longline do you use? Length/width/biothane or rope?
I would love a series of training a very tiny bread of dog. Im finding it hard to train my pocket beagle on certain things because I am so far away from his face lol
First time puppy owner (german shepard/Lab mix) and I'm really getting a lot from your videos. We don't have a enclosed yard What brand of long lead would you recommend?
Can you please recommend a treat bag? I had one that was so small and hard to clean, and it broke too. I like the one you have, but I don’t see anything quite like it. It’s hard to tell for sure though.
What brand of harness are you using with Chop?
Nice job! When do you think he'll be able to go play and interact with other dogs?
You need a better treat pouch!! Those silicone ones are super easy to get treats out
Plz I just want my one year old puppy to know those tricks
” it’s almost like he’s been living with a dog trainer you are a dog trainer “🤣😂
Hello Patricia, how are you doing today, hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
I have a mix of a shitzu and multis she dose not learn good she is not smart can you plz make a video on how to train a mix of maltis shitzu on how to shake and spin please
What brand Of harness is he wearing? 🤞🏼😍
I deal with this EveryDay in my dog trading.. He has a ecoller on his dog
I have a 15 month old Rottweiler. The wife has become the alpha being home with him all year, and mostly with me, he has become aggressive when around my wife. Now I’ve become terrified of the dog, and we have already gone through 2 useless trainers that said they would save the day, and show no interest in helping after that. Now he growled at our son the other night. Please help.
There needs to be a reckoning of dog training methods to see which ones actually work the best like the ufc of dog training to weed out all the inferior methods.
You are essentially asking for scientific studies of which there are many!
@@zakgeorge do we cite scientific studies to find out which combination of martial arts is most effective at beating up another person? No, we have two human beings face off against each with a certain set of rules that make it fair and we see who wins. So I’m thinking more, trainer vs trainer. You get ten dogs that need training, the two trainers get 20 minutes with the dogs and then pick their teams; the five dogs they will train. The criteria for successful training could be negotiated with the ultimate criteria being the best trained dogs in a set amount of time using an agreed upon quality of treat and maybe no shock collars but everything else goes. You could do three simple commands, recall, stay and heel. At the end of the two week training period or however long you wanted it, you would test each dog on their three commands starting with easy level (no distractions) moving to harder (some distractions) moving to difficult (squirrels darting across the grass, sirens ringing out, multiple vacuum cleaners being turned on, strangers in hoodies limping across the dogs path) then you see which dogs are trained better, which ones will obey commands in the face of distractions. How fun would that be!! Forget the studies man! Let’s see which trainers and training method is more effective in the field!!
I can't seem to find the episode that shows Chop's DNA test results. I'm so curious!
