"There are no stubborn dogs."
Me: looking at my dog. "Idk about that"
Same. This dog is lazy....in a very active home. His lazy gene is STRONG.

Do you take your dog out for 20 minute walks?
@@reiilun8648don't discriminate against legless dogs
just give them treats for everything, the BIG motivator, that'll fix it xD
Got my dog yesterday and it is a 5 year old American Akita and treats only gives him the urge to eat
The video starts at 1:50

Thank youuu
Is this a training video or a ad? He had some good points, in between his self promotion. I do not mind it in a small amount. But not most of the video
Respect
"I bet you could eat them". "I'm not gonna eat them" *eats treats* "they're actually good!"
ha hahaha that was funny
IM weird question why did u put--ha hahaha u could’ve just put hahahahaha😂
Stubborn Dog? One word: D A C H S H U N D !
I've got two, they've learnt a lot with your techniques, but yes, they are stubborn! :)
HAHA! They're just too smart for their own good!
I've planned to get one too. But I'm afraid if I could train them properly! Are they obedient?
But they are loyal and become part of the family and are amazing once they get use to everything
@@zakaramccorkle9284 Absolutely, loyalty at its best.
@@kalaiselvan3486 They are *very* smart, and they learn fast. I've got two, both adopted as adults, and I had no problem training them. But yes, they're quite stubborn; sometimes they correctly understand what you are asking them to do and simply they do not, like "I'm not in the mood" :-D But they're great in many aspects like loyalty and love giving.
2 minutes is when the video starts, skipping over their ads.
thx

Hi
I have a dachshund and he is a stubborn ass too but I love him so much!
Massacre Megan They are a challenge. I had two.😂
John 3:16 III% try Shiba Inus. Even more stubborn. I'm losing my mind
So is mine but when I have food she comes running lol..

I may not be able to, be my dream has always been to own an animal shelter. Your videos are really inspiring me to live my dream when I get older. I may be only 11, but I know that this is what I want and you are helping me achieve that. Thank you so much.
you have no idea what's it like to collect huge piles of shit with a shovel. what the fuck are u talking about kid
loop579 dude that was 5 months ago...
Dand and imagine if everyone had the Same mindset as u do, no one would help poor dogs that need a place to go so just cuz u would never do that don't stop them from doing it just move on with ur life instead of giving hate to their plans cuz its their life not urs
Pug Luvr Funny thing is, I'm also 11 and I have had the same dream all my life! Ok........
Pug Luvr PLEASE READ THIS!!!!! IT WILL HELP WITH RESCUE ANIMALS !!!THANKYOU okay where do you live like US europe and then like California Florida Sweden where?and then go to google maps and write there rescue animals/animal shelters near me and youll find some probably some animal shelters and go there and try volunteering and then if you can't you can help the animals by fostering them at you home about 1-2 months and wearing on tge pet a adopt me vest and youll help them finding a forever home or you can adopt one too also go and subscribe to this channel it is a recue animal (mostly dogs) channel in Los Angeles, CA and it is called HOPE FOR PAWS you are gonna LOVE IT hope this helps and you might be too young but you can go there with your guardian like mom,dad and ask volunteering well bye
So you training seals now ?
I love that you used a dachshund for a "stubborn" dog because they sure are stubborn!
I don't know what this trainers idea of stubborn is if he thinks the dachshund isn't stubborn. Not motivated enough without treats yet.
I don't even have a dog but I love watching these videos anyway 😂
same 😂😂
thaower 971 I'm getting one in a couple weeks but I still don't have a dog
thaower 971 lol
thaower 971 I only clicked on this video just to say the same thing
thaower 971 lol I have a dog but I watched his videos before I had him :D
It's so true that it takes time. I've had my dog ten months and she's learned her recall, sit, beg, stay, leave, touch (where she touches my hand and she knows the difference between left and right touch) and I'm currently trying to teach her paw. It just takes time and a lot of dedication. I constantly still ask her for old commands to reinforce them and I often ask for a recall, sit and beg all in one go to test her and make her hold them each for a time as well. Clicker training and marker word training are what I always recommend to people when they say "your dogs so well trained how did you do it?" I had her for four months until I started marker training and since then she has come in leaps and bounds.
😭 my puppy wouldnt listen during my first attempt which was expected
But he got in my closet during the night, and ate his whole treat bag
Do you wanna hear something even worse. We bought expensive cake for our family . But we kept the cake on the dining table. After we came to check the cake the box is empty.
We were very puzzled and shocked. My dauchshund had cream all over his face. My dauchshund was the culprit!! He ate the vanilla cake.( Thankfully My family hates chocolate cake .
Because if we bought chocolate cake my dauchshund would have died) 😭
@@lilyofthevalley937 I am taking a shit rn
@@firefruitt what the fuck
Really happy that I found your videos! This one was especially perfect and timely for the training I'm working on with my dog and his occasional stubbornness. Definitely planning on buying the book soon! And BarkBox is awesome, highly recommend it 🐶
Dang man, I didn't know people even could be as connected as you obviously are with dogs. So inspiring, thank you!
My dog isn't stubborn...
*He's lazy*
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about training a puppy try Alkarno Puppy Alchemist (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
Same, mine is very lazy but shes already a adult....
yeaaahh that's my problem
Megan ruddock mine is
My dogs art lazy or stubborn...........they old
I have a question. My dog is half Siberian husky and half Australian shepherd, and I've taught her to sit but she only does it when I have a treat. She automatically sits when she knows I have a treat, but she just doesn't correlate the word sit with sitting.
a little late here but you need to teach her to sit without giving her a treat, maybe give her pet's instead
I love all your videos! I used them to train my grandma's dog (in my avatar) who was totally untrained and rescued from an abusive home. You have helped so tremendously!
This is helpful and I have watched it at least 3 times. I have had my puppy for 12 weeks and I thought she was a level 2, but turns out she is level 1 in her energy. Kinda hard to train without treats! This just reminded me to keep treats in my pocket, switch up the rewards a little, and she is much more consistent with peanut butter! Thanks, Zak, for another great video!
My puppy just wants the treat! She jumps and bites and gets craaaaaazy 😂
Of course it’s a dachshund 😂 mine drives me insane 😭
Love all your videos. I watch them everyday before work so I can learn some new things before I teach my training classes at petsmart. can't wait to read your book
I wish more people exist like you......
Thank you for saying such a nice thing.
I know!!! I wish the world was filled with many Zak Georges. It would be a much better place!!! 😁😁💗🐾🐾
@@zakgeorge ik that I'm super late but how did the tests taste
If you are looking for a comprehensive video guide on teaching your dog all of the basics and beyond, check out my free playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLMssKIjsDxXmMGypWsr8u-yGOUSoPoozb.html
ordering the book. What I like about you is you're professional. You don't come off with an ego or a know it all. Great vid
That's really nice of you to say. The truth is that I DON'T know it all and try to remind myself of that constantly (I think that will be apparent in the book!), haha! There are always new things to learn. It's important to be able to say," I don't know" sometimes. The field of animal behavior is so new and nuanced in many ways. I love learning and teaching what I learn. I understand that not everyone sees the world the same way. My profession has people from all walks of life with different backgrounds and experiences. Glad to have you here!

Hey I have got a question my dog is 4 month old and he runs over street I wanted to call him back but he didn't come and I don't know what I can do ?
A solid recall is for me the single most important behavior to train and takes a lot of very consistent work.
Start at home and do it every day. Only use your cue if you are 100% certain your dog will recall. If you cue and the dog fails, you're polluting your cue. Once he's recalling fluidly in the house, move it to your yard. I make the reward a big event that lasts 10-30 seconds, sometimes with play sometimes with food, depending on your dog's motivation. If you're working in an environment that's distracting, use a long line so that you can enforce the recall. I start with restrained recalls (needs two handlers) outside and work up from there. Good recall is a skill and takes time but can be a life saver once reliable. I can call my dogs off of any distraction after 6 months of working hard on it. I can also give them a 'call away' whereby they recall mid flight when running towards a distraction. They simply peel off and circle back to me.
I'm lucky with one of my dogs as he's so obsessed with his ball, he'll come back from ANY distraction for his ball and I can play tug with him whilst several other dogs are around, even sniffing him and he stays focused on me and he's normally very reactive. My other dogs all prefer food rewards. I also use pressure when needed to proof the recalls, so strictly speaking, I don't train 'all positive'. But that's just my method - I train all positive until the dogs know the drill and then apply pressure if they refuse to comply. All my dogs are trained to know how to turn off pressure, else pressure is unfair and is off no help. The premack technique is also useful for early recalls with distractions.
It's well worth the effort and I often 'show off' to other dog owners when out on walks as it's very impressive to have that level of control. People often see it and then ask me how I managed to achieve it. Most are not prepared to put the time in though, once I tell them what's involved.
At 4 months, I would not be expecting a reliable recall and recommend a long line for walks as they puppy will be able to explore, but not get away from you. Restrained recalls are also great at this early stage. If you have one nearby, a private hire of a secure area is a great idea to practice off-leash recalls and alleviates the stress of worrying if puppy wanders off. Take a friend to help and do restrained recalls back and forth. Do it 10 - 15 times. Take a break, have a play and do it again. ALWAYS reward for coming back and if you can't reward, don't recall.
Good luck and let us know how you get on and if I can help more.
my dog eats the treats but still don't listen and when I giv him toys he will instantly chew it up
My dog doesn't go for the treat he is to stubbern and just waits to get the treat for nothing
"Just waits to get the treat for nothing"
You shouldn't give him the treat if he doesn't perform the trick..?
Same. When I want to train him, he just gets the treat from my hand and runs away😂
Because you taught his that you’re a pushover and he doesn’t have to listen to get a reward.
challenge me 21. He is a freeloader.
Yeah if he can get the treat when you don't want it, you've made a mistake :).
Just got my second Doxie! They are amazing.
I love, love, love Bark Box! Glad they have joined in sponsoring you!
I enjoy watching your videos but having to wait 3+ mins before you get to the actual advice. Shouldn't it say in the title is an #ad?
You can tap the little right side of vid to fast forward. Not hard. Zak is giving us free info. Needs to make some $ like we all do.
Me baby😂
What happened to petflow. Now would it be barkbox for 2-3 years
Keep up the good work. I purchased your book and I am very happy I did!
Great videos man thanks for the knowledge!
I'm not really paying attention to the training, I just love seeing all these dogs lol
I've been watching your videos all day all and I just relized I haven't subscribed. I'm going to go do that, now.
Thank you!
hi sack I'm getting a husky soon I think I'm ready because ur videos helped me a lot thank you so much
I have been watching your videos and became so inspired that I and my dog are going to a class now. The class "small dog" is held at the Berkeley Humane Society,here in San Francisco Bay Area. Thanks for your time.
1:34 OH MY GOSH there kinda good!
OH MY GOSH It looks like a TV Commercial!😅😂
Lmao yeah😂😂
Daschund's are known to be stubborn. I had two.
Thank you for giving me advice

What happened to pet flow
Hey Zak! Love the video. :) Could you maybe post a result video showing the dogs from older vids? Would love to see this!
You hooked me into this vid because of the tile matching the dog breed! 😂🤣😂
When I try to train my dog to sit with a treat he just jumps😐
Lol, I've tried a few dog treats, they smell so good !
haha
There are differences in training different breeds. Great to hear a few of the things that can help. It's what my channel is all about. Duke just doesn't know the behaviour yet. High rate of reinforcement works really good with so called "stubborn" dogs.
This last few weeks I have worked my way through watching all your videos, some quite a few times. I have also just received your book too. Cant wait to read it.. I feel I am now more prepared on how to look after our dog correctly when we go and collect her on Monday. One thing I would like to ask is if you think a dogs diet has any effect on its behavior. ie.. if it doesn't get enough fresh meats etc.
Great question Rachel! I think it's important to feed a dog as well as you can. And I'm sure that a healthier dog is more willing to learn new things! A good diet plan starts with a conversation with your vet. Then check out PetFlow to see if they have your dog's recommended food! So glad you're enjoying the book!
This video just feels like an ad thrown in my face over and over
Nothing ever works. My dog just wants to sleep all day. honestly I give up
EnjoiUrLunch are you using treats that the dog loves?
Bitch you're lucky my bitchass dogs bark all the time. One barks outside the other barks inside.
Try to make a list of things that your dog likes. Some dogs are motivated by treats, toys, "good boy", petting, scratches, and/or letting them do what they want to. Let me explain! Short dogs love to sniff the ground. In that case u would tell them to sit and then say "ok!" and let them sniff the ground for a few seconds.
When was last vet visit? Sleeping all day doesn't sound normal... unless he's quite old?
Onion Face thank you for this response!! My dog knows the commands and will still ignore because he doesn’t want to walk on a leash. I’ve had several dogs and he’s the only one who does this. He’s not alpha and knows that just wants to do what he wants.
Thanks for the videos! What do you do when your dog isn't motivated by treats or toys?
Duke is one adorable dog! Who couldnt love that face. Thanks for the video, Zak! You are right on.
Thank you Joy! Duke was a pleasure to work with!

hi
Can you train an older dog new tricks? Like a 10 year old pup? My dog has a short attention span and doesn't want to listen
having fun with dogs You can, itll take longer though
having fun with dogs my dog turned 6 this year, and I taught him 'shake' just about a month ago with no trouble.
having fun with dogs no such thing as a 10 yr old pup. He's either a puppy or he's old
Zak I have a year old cavilier that can be good or stubborn both. I had a 4x6x4 care build off my bedroom sliding door. We live on wash in AZ with lots of predators, so I wanted him to be able to go out safe, when he was very young he would go out and potty, then all of sudden he will just go out and right back in he will not stay out or ever potty unless I take him out side. I did start shutting the doggy door until he did potty. so I cures I caused the reaction. Now how can i get him to go out there to potty. It is all wire caged in even snake proof. I spent lot of money now he will not use it. Help
Love this! Thank you!
New frisbee video with a puppy who doesn't know frisbee yet?!
Are cavalier King Charles dogs nice?
They are known to be very nice, but for some reason most people buy them in pairs....and they are a bit pricey! They are lovely dogs, though.
Alex Freemont they're one of the most loving and are very attached to their owners. Unfortionately they are prone to so many health problems and are so expensive.
Yes they are the sweetest dogs ever
Many of them have terrible neurological diseases because their skulls have been bred to be too small for their brains. My partner is a vet and unfortunately has to deal with this, seizures etc... Brachycephalic dogs in general aren't a good idea. There are other beautiful dogs that don't have messed up heads.
Yes and incredibly loyal to owner
Yay!I got into a new made video!!!
I love getting notified for your videos,I was like:
-Ah,Going to sleep,Gonna sleep so good!
*Phone notification*
-OH!Zak made a new video!I don't care about sleep :)
Thank you for sharing these. I like your vibe.
That dog is incredibly overweight for his breed. Doxies are already prone to joint and back issues; they should be kept lean, with a clear tuck up and easily detectable ribs. Maybe more exercise and less aggressively pushing Bark Box...
Destiny Jackson Some Doxies actually just have wide backs. If you feel on my Dachshunds back you'll feel his ribs not to prominent but you can still feel them. Just like my others.
Hey,reply me back...I have something to ask
What the heck is a doxie? Isn't that a creature from Harry Potter? Dachshund, Dackel, Teckel, Daxund I've heard, but doxie?
R.B. its the short version of dachshund
Sometimes they get a lil fat when they are operated still, duke needs to do some exercise because of all of the back problems Doxies are prone to.
I love the painting of Alpha Centauri in the background
It is such a great painting! I love it too!

duke looked done with everything lol i love his face
I have a Doberman she's 2 years old. When we first got her we trained her the basics and walked her around a lot, got her to socialize with other dogs, and people etc. But around that 8 month mark she started to rebel and my mom didn't really try to train her much of the obedience or focus training on her except re-teaching the basic "sit, stay, down" and even then would only listen sometimes. Also she doesn't really take her to the park anymore and only walks her occasionally, which I find pretty sad since Dobey's tend to be very needy. She's is about 2 pounds overweight, she's always hungry but I think that has more to do with the fact she doesn't get as much attention or receiving as much activity as she used to. So I plan on taking her on long walks either in the morning or after work and try to train her again to get her going more to shed off some fat, gain muscle, and to mainly start listening again. Do you have any tips on previously trained adult dogs that are stubborn?
My dog is lazy...
And my german shepperd puppy is overactive 🤔😂
Ugh be thankful for that bc my dog is so hyper she's so stubborn
Mine is lazy to but cute why I wish she would listen she is a hound dog I want a husky though
Try training an English Bulldog, they're as stubborn as hell, even though I own a American Bulldog.
How long does it take a dog to master a command? Sometimes my dog listens to me andsomething he doesn,even with treats. Its a rescue 8 month german shpherd im thinking of getting a trainer.
You have a teenager, the brain is growing like crazy and impulsitivity is high so just keep practicing and be patient! At age 2 ish the thinking part of the brain catches up to the emotional part of the brain and they gain the ability of self control, but brain isn't fully grown to about age 3. You can hire a trainer for sure but your dog just needs time. :) Remind remind remind, practice, practice, practice!
Some actions can be mastered fast and others will take months. And yes your dog is a teenager. And getting a trainer is not a bad idea in any case.
Go easy on him right now as he's an adolescent dog and just a walking hormone. If he's intact, get him neutered. Also be aware some dogs (especially GSDs) go through a fear period around nine months and get freaked out by stuff he'd normally cope with. Just ride it out and stick at consistent training and keep it fun. Some behaviors come easy, some need lots of work (like recalls). Classes would be a good idea too. Great for building your confidence. Don't be scared to sack classes off and go somewhere else if you don't agree with their methods. Skills dogs learn at this age tend to stick for life, so get focus on the really important stuff. Good luck !

Neutering dog is not as good as has been widely said. I would not recommend neutering all around without other considerations, but do some research on the negative effects on neutering dogs. Any case will be different. Sometimes neutering a dog is worse for his behaviour and health.
Sunny the mutt
The risk factors are extremely low and in particular GSDs who are neutered are less prone to certain diseases. I would advise getting some professional advice from a qualified vet for anyone with doubts.
I have a mini-schnauzer coming in less than a month. I need to binge-watch all your vids again, Zak. Thank the stars you're here!!
Been there man ! Good luck, you should record and post your progress its great fun and helps you get feedback.
Andy McCarter
I will! Thanks for the idea of using the videos as progress feedback. Genius!
No worries man. Its great looking back, time flies. You should check out my channel, why not subscribe while your there getting to 30 subs would be such a milestone.
They say there is no stubborn dogs...spend a day with my great dane
Then you haven’t met my lab /collie Mix cocoa she has the habit of being very smart like she can walk off leash with out running away but when it comes to commands like sit or down she just doesn’t do it
Omg, so many comments about people getting dogs, how about you all do some research before you go getting a dog that will end up either left neglected in the backyard or dumped at a shelter...
I'd like to think that's why many of them are here commenting :). I agree with you that people should think long and hard and research what having a dog entails.
My husband and I sat down and worked out the costs, how much time we would have etc etc... We would have loved a Bernese Mountain Dog. We have both wanted one for so long. But after a lot of research we both realized it just wasn't the right thing to do at this moment in time.. So we decided to go for a Labrador instead. So many people rush into this and cause dogs and cats a lot of distress when things don't turn out how they expected. PLEASE!!!! look at all the pros and cons before committing to buying any animal.
I'm pretty sure the reason people are here in the first place is because they're doing research...
+xHarlequin After the fact though instead of doing the research before getting a dog.
+Rachel Burkett well done, I bet your lab is a very spoilt one.
We have taken on foster care of an 11yr old malamute who was abused for two years by his owners ex wife.
We decided to help older dogs who no one wants, we all deserve to feel the love until we die and our old fella is absolutely gorgeous...😊

Thank for helping I’m gonna try this with my dog mossy oak
Can you please do this but with an adult Chihuahua I have four of them and I can't
Have you ever trained a schnauzer before?!?! No such thing as a stubborn dog, hahahaha!
Schnauzers aren't that bad actually :) They hate repetition and gets bored fast so practice short sessions and with fun and variation. I introduce the new "game" a few tries, asks for something she knows, plays, teach the new "game" and end the session. If you avoid boredom and find the right motivator they learn super fast! Some works better for toys than treats but my fav treat with my mini schnauzer is grain free catfood. Tiny pibbles so they don't chew forever, they love the flavor and you can jackpot as little or richly as you wish. :) It also due to the size isn't a high risk for obesity as some treats can be for some dogs. :)
Schnauzers are pretty smart, try training a mastiff!
I have a chihuahua mix. It is IMPOSSIBLE for him to listen to me if I don't have a treat.
+Ambi Cahira grain free catfood? I presume you mean dry pebbles right? Or do you mean small bits of wet catfood?
+Casper I had to babysit a bullmastif for a week. Great dog, very well behaved, but stubborn. If he didn't want to do something... He wasn't going to do it. And he weighed enough that you couldn't move him.
I'm a professional dog trainer who exposes uneducated dog trainers, including Cesar Millan The Dog Whisperer on my UA-cam channel. I bust my hump & either stream/post a new video every day about dog training!

I just got a new puppy's. We aren't sure what type she is, the people who we got her from said she is half labador retreiver and half Australian Shepherd. She is extremely stubborn!!! But she is very food activated. Which is helpful when training her!!! Your are so helpful!!! You have helped me a lot me my new puppy! And she is helpful too!
But she also doesn't like going potty. I will take her out side and she will just lay there. No matter how much I call her she won't come. She also loves digging in the mud. Then gets in in the house. How do I stop this!!!
+Madison Hanna when ever I try to pull her away from the mud she will bite me. And it hurts
this dog is hilarious. Love your videos!
no such thing as a stubborn dog just impatient people
Untrue, dogs can be stubborn just as any other animal.
Lilythekitsune not true
+JanitorIsBack Untrue. I have tried to train my dog "sit" for over a year without using a treat and he just doesn't want to.
kawaifu glad you agree that your statements are untrue
+JanitorIsBack he meant that what you said was untrue
Hello Zak, I want to thank you for the videos. I have a 4 month old black lab, her name is Luna, she is super energetic (as any puppy) and your videos and tips have helped me a lot on her training. I was wondering if you have any tips or possibly do a video on perimeter training. I also have a Golden Retriever who is 9 years old, he is well trained but lately, he has had the tendency to run across the street without listening to me or my husband. We have done the training on how not to run at the door, and they are both good at that, but its when he is the front yard that if he sees another dog or a person on the other side, he would run w/o stopping, and of course Luna tries to follow.... Any advice would be great :) Thanks again!
Zak,
My puppy knows some of the commands like sit, but she chooses not to do them. I can't get her to lay down or anything besides sit. But again she sits only when she wants to. Do you suggest anything?
Thank you for saying that the use of treats might take a while to make the training stick. My dog is smart and will do just about anything if I have a treat in my hand. I was getting frustrated that she would not do the same thing if I had no treat and would basically ignore me. But I have only begun to train and I think I was expecting too much.
When I give my dog a treat, it will work for about a week, then he decides he doesn't like that particular treat. So I change it and we go through this about once a week. My biggest issue is he very rarely comes when he's called treat or no treat. He looks at me and he hears me and if he's comfortable where he is he will just look at you.
Hei Zak, I've noticed you didn't mention petflow this time. I think it's the right time to ask. What do YOU feed to your dogs and what do you recommend us to try feeding our dogs? What would make an ideal meal?
Hey Zak you should make a video of you training dogs how to do cool tricks like on superfetch 👍🏼
I love stubborn dogs and sensitive dogs cause they challenge me. I took in a senior pekingese last year and he had no positive reinforcement experience. I put in the work and today I am extremely grateful because the trust I gained with positive reinforcement is priceless now after he went blind. He comes when I call with voice and clapping to hear what I want and where I am. He trusts that I will guide him safely, and he trusts me to treat his eyes, clip his nails and much else. Luckily he is very motivated by bellyrubs and other physical affection but treats will always be the strongest reinforcer! I always compare stubborn dogs as a CEO of a company. He can be hired like anyone else but he needs a higher salary to do the job. ;)
Watching this to help with our daschund puppy Duke!! How funny. He is definitely the same.. doesnt come when called unless I have treats.
Very cool and nice tricks
your book is amazing!!!
I'm SO happy you like it!
Hey Zak I love your videos and your book has been a great help! But I'm having a lot of trouble with my 6 month old Siberian. She listens well but when she gets something she is not supposed to have in her mouth a she loves to play keep away and none of my training tricks are working. It has come to the point where I stopped taking her to the dog park etc because she grabs and eats things she shouldn't IE small tennis balls etc, I am considering a muzzle but as you teach I would rather curb the behavior rather than just a temporary patch. Any advice would be great I would love to be able to go back to the park we both love it
SO MUDDA helpful!!
I just got a new puppy she's an Australian Shepherd. shes 8 weeks and I thought her to sit and lay on the first day. thanks for the videos!!
Zak, Love the videos. I have a 6 month old red nose pit, and when training he does excelent. problem is outside of training he wont listen hardly ever unless he knows theres treats involved. how can i stop this behavior before he tears up our house?!
So my pup, she's about 6-7 months and she's really good with tricks she can sit, lay down, shake, speak and spin in a circle she knows to go to her cage when we tell her it's bed time but she is still not potty trained now it has been very snowy and very cold out but she doesn't whine or bark we have a bell by the door (that she's doesn't ring even tho every time we take her outside we ring it and say "potty" or "outside") the only indication we have that she has to go out is she starts pacing and even then majority of the time she doesn't go when we let her out and then immediately goes when we take her back inside any tips on how to help potty train her
I have a Lhasa male he hates getting his hair combed and we need to do it regularly because he gets lots of knots he growls at us when we comb him specially his legs we need to sit with him hold him and forcefully comb him. How do I train him to be fine with combing
I was feeling like a complete failure. Thank you. This gives me hope
Need help with a German Shepard lab mix just got him three days ago he’s stubborn and very high strung just need a little help to get him to learn the basics sit,stay,come,and lay down his old owners never had the time to do anything with him which is why I ended up with him
I have a 5 year old husky x alaskan malamute and she is very much a dog that knows what im asking but will pick and choose when she wants to listen. It is a case of selective hearing. She is treat responsive and not toy responsive. If we are one on one and she has no better stimulation offers she will play along for a treat but put something she considers more interesting in to the mix, e.g. her newest fursister or digging a hole to Australia and she completely ignores me. any suggestions?
im getting my first dachsund in a week, this is so helpful, hopefully he ll listen well
Good luck, my second dog was a dachshund very placid and lazy, great fun to train, are you gonna post your training sessions ?
Dachshunds are very smart pups. You will have a lot of fun with training. Just look for what your dog is most interested in. I have found that they train very well when using their mealtimes as training opportunities. Also they seem to like squeaky toys so play with your new puppy often to build a reward history.
haha yes, most definently posting video vlogs with my pup :)
Cool! Will be fun to see them.
What happens if I am trying to get my dog to follow or sit or stay and he just walks off(which is exactly what happens) also happens with a treat or toy on hand
My dog has a sensitive stomach so treats are a problem so what can I use
What is the best way to train puppy Huskies?
