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.
THANK YOU for actually talking about how lonely it can be to train a reactive dog. Traning my puppy - found on the streets - was one of the most lonely processes I've ever been through. He's almost 16 months old and doing much better but is still not out of the woods but a long mile. Big dogs, new experiences, certain male figures... they're all things that can tick him right off and are things we're working on
I feel you so much.....looking for a 'training buddy' who doesn't get spooked and I can explain why I do the things I do with my dog. Btw, it is not helping that I live in a country where dogs are not treated very well (mine was dumped in the woods I think) and I don't speak the language.
Completely agree, peoples support for the adopt don't shop movement does not line up with peoples understanding for someone working with a reactive dog. If you are not a reactive dog owner remember a bit of friendliness and a kind word goes a long way!
I’ve been a fan of Zak for years! Since I got started looking to get a dog back in 2013. My boy is a polite old man now, and I haven’t watched much of Zak’s video over the past few years because I haven’t needed any help with my dog. But I recently got hit with a big case of puppy fever, and (even though I’m not getting a puppy for a long while) came back for advice to setting a puppy up for success. And can I just say, I came for Kona, but the new series is so good I have just binge watched the last six months of videos in a week and a half. They are fantastic videos. I can’t wait to see the progress that Chop makes, and to see who’s next. Thank you Zak and Bree for the wonderful content!
Great feedback! Thank you. We do want to make videos that are interesting to watch independent of just dog training.
I gotta say each “Reality Dog Training Series” keeps getting better and better. Thank you for producing such valuable content for this community. I’ve learned so much through you and it’s actually encouraging to see that you also face challenges and have to problem-solve on the spot. Keep it up!
You mean clickbaitier and clickbaitier 😅
@@Rev3rence hahahaha that too 😅 the emotional 🎢 in this one was particularly intense!
This is one of the only dog training channels that models how much patience, flexibility, and persistence is required to set your dog up for success.
💯
200%
Zac I am a fanatic dog lover and my true love is pit bulls, mastiffs, and most any other large what most would call challenge going dogs. I’ve always been able to have well behaved well socialized loving dogs despite taking on some challenging cases. But what you have been able to show me has changed everything! The patience and the loving commitment you put into each dog is amazing. Thank you for these great videos!
thank you both for the reactive dog 'pep talk'.. its difficult and embarrassing..especially when i see dog younger than him not being reactive.. it's been a year and a half and we are very slowly closing the gap. sometimes the 'gap' changes..just depends on the dog he sees and what mindset he is in at that moment. chop reminds me a lot of my dude..
I love that the episode now is divided in chapters!
Bri just has such a lovely, warm and calm aura
Brie articulates very well, I've enjoyed seeing more of her throughout these series'
Me too! I’d love to see a spinoff series where she trains the dogs!
@@zakgeorge 🙌
Me too!
Chops like "who you calling a brat dont talk about me sideways" he new yall were talking about him 12:45 he's hilarious 😂😂😂
I really appreciated your conversation about the struggles of being a reactive dog parents. This has been a great series for us :)
I can't get over how well muscled he is, look at those shoulders! And each time I'm so amazed at his dog language "fluency" as well. Such an intelligent gorgeous boy!
I hope they will DNA test him, would love to figure out what mix he is.
Chop is such a gorgeous dog, he truly deserves a good home - as every dog does!
Reactive dogs are the new reality. Thanks for acknowledging this reality. As Bree says, it feels lonely to deal wth a dog that is reactive to other dogs, very true. They are lovely dogs AT HOME. Outside ... (sigh)
Your work with reactive dogs (Myra, George and now Chop) has been SO helpful as I begin my professional dog training career. All my clients have reactive dogs and your work has supplemented my training in such amazing ways!
Zack, I want to thank you for these videos you’ve done of fostering and training these adult dogs. My family brought a puppy into our home almost a year ago (he will be 1 in a couple of days!) and I got so frustrated at the lopsided responsibilities and his over-the-top personality that I was ready to give up. Watching these videos have encouraged me to just start over, pretend as if he is a new dog and start from square one, a fresh start. He’s a great dog with bad manners and you have given me hope that I can help him become a respectable man in our family and society!
The tilt of his head with the tongue hanging out the side of his mouth when he is listening is everything !😍
My dog used to be the same as Chop when it came to seeing a dog besides the barking. He whined/yelped loudly, lunged, tried to chew the leash and wouldn’t pay attention to me for even his favourite things. With daily screensaver training outside the dog park he now a couple months later just looks and as long as they are further than a few metres I can get his attention. If I catch it in time I can have him sit stay as a dog passes on walks. Love seeing the progress in a dog. It’s especially exciting and rewarding for me when you’ve had to put in a lot time into developing the specific behaviour.
My dog is the same way, very boisterous and hard to distract. Slowly increasing his threshold! Funnily he loves dogs and does well at daycare but when on leash he's pulling, whining, etc. within certain distances of dogs!,
Your experience in dog training is incredible! I hope Chop gets adopted because I LOVE HIM!
I really appreciated Bree’s comment about having a reactive dog being a lonely experience. Thanks for all you (both) do - many dog families are better for it!
Zak and team, the new addition of time stamps is great and sooo helpful!
I was close to his owner and he stayed with me the majority of last year. He’s so sweet and well behaved 😭 i love watching these videos of him and seeing a bit of his life before us. Thank you for all the love and patience you had for him ♥️ I love him so much
the more I watch, the more I adore chop💖
he's a little challenging, but he'll be a great addition to some family eventually
I love your discussion about anxiety we all feel when we've got a reactive dog. Funny comparison is the anxiety parents feel when they've got a reactive child. ;-)
Glad to see Chop is learning. Wish the best for him.
Love the "Reality Dog Training Series". I am always watching UA-cam to see when a new episode drops and get very excited to see how Chop is doing! Also thanks for the coupon code for Vessi. I love these shoes and wanted to get another pair which I did with your code! Have a great day!
Great episode! This one really did well at showing that being a dog owner means time and patience, and understanding.
Chop loves you guys so much! He is always happy!👍
I’ve felt so alone in this with my pup. It’s so comforting to see this issue covered. Thank you so much!
The excitement around other dogs definitely is what my dog does.I was waiting for chop to lay down and he did. Love this!!!
Inertia is beautiful I love inertia clips ❤️
Great series. Talking about how much time is needed (ex the 15-min outside the park or the 3 hours screen savers) is really helpful. .You are making our lives a little better. Thank you.
Very excited to see how you handle the resource guarding between dogs! Something I want to stay on top of with my doggo but not a lot of info out there. Love the series :)
Same! Our 4-month-old Border Collie pup has started lifting a lip and growling when we feed our dogs, and I'm so scared! We have to nip that in the bud, we have a lot of kids in the house. This is NOT acceptable behavior.
Thank you for putting the chapters in the description! It helps when I want to go back and find a lesson you’ve done.
Also, I got some Pupford treats because I wanted training treats without fillers and my puppy loves them!
Thank you both for the great and helpful content!
I always say training my reactive, anxious dog is two steps forward, one step back. Content like this is a good reminder of how normal that is!
Chop isn't scared of that vacuum cleaner. He knows that he would win in a one on one battle with that thing any time!
Loved the discussion with Bree about working with reactive dogs. My puppy, who is not even a year old yet, wants to play with every dog that he sees on our walks and gets frustrated like Chop if we have to distance ourselves from a dog that gets too close. We're working on it slowly but surely, but it's nice to hear others' stories as it makes it less of a lonely experience :)
I love that you don't give up while training every dog in videos
its lovelly how he improoves a little by episode!!! hes a good dog.
You have amazing patience!!
Way to go Chop! This was such an encouraging video. He's really doing well thanks to you. A great reminder for me to take mini exposure steps when my dog starts reacting. As usual, brilliant production, entertaining, and informative content. Thank you!
Thank you for your videos, they open up my eyes on how we should communicate with our doggies at home. Learning to have patience, and adapting.
Reactive dog mom here! Sending love to everyone in training ^_^ I can't wait to see Chops progress with stranger dogs
So, love to everyone 😉
Training NEVER ends 🙃😋
Well done Zac. I know just what you mean having a reactive Collie. Those wow moments when you can walk away from another dog and keep the focus is amazing. Also Bree I've been feeling very down and excluded the last 18 months since we rehomed this extremely reactive young Collie. My 3 would mix with up to 15 other dogs and we could walk and talk, now I can't even say hello over the field without her creating a fuss. Apart from a couple of friends with very quiet dogs that I've been able to join in and walk with and even able to have her off lead. Keep up the good work Zac Bree, Inertia and Chomp..
Loving all of your series. It's great to see a dog from the start, step by step. Seeing Zac on the ground sitting next to Chop makes me wonder if you weigh the same amount, lol
Can I just say I love that you teach back up..
Chop reminds me in some ways of a dog I rescued. Her previous family didn't know or understand dogs at all, and unfortunately she was neglected. I wish I had videos like these 10 years ago when I was working with her. Hats off to Bree and Zak for putting in the effort not just for Chop, but other dogs.
i love when zak says good man it makes me laugh ;)
Another paw-some video Zak and Bree! You are always keeping it real and are so insightful 🐶🐾🐼❤️
Learn something new from every video. Thank you!
I love that you are so loving and understanding in your training process. I’ve learned so much! Thank you !
Inertia's overdramatic reaction to falling on her back is such a Border Collie thing 😅
Happy to see another video! Hi, it's me again! Glad you intervened when Chop got too rough with Inertia. In the moment, these things can be stressful, but I would have intervened right here at 11:43, instead of a little bit later where Inertia felt the need to warn Chop back again, as he continued to be too pushy and step over her boundaries. The fact that she did not recover right away after she fell, and didn't bounce back up and chase him back playfully, is why I would have intervened too. Dogs trip and fall, and sometimes get too rough during play, that's normal, and a lot of times they can bounce back and continue playing. When they don't: I intervene calmly and redirect the pushy dog away, while comforting the other one separately. For the resource guarding of the toy with Inertia at 12:24, I do agree that this is inappropriate behavior, but Interia did push too much. She was going into his space for his ball, he should have warned her more before snapping, but I think his feeling to want and keep his toy is fair and respectable. Like with humans. If someone was sticking their hands in my plate and my space, I would tell them to go away. I would do it politely though, but Chop is still learning!
15:20, So important! These are most of our walks, long line or off-leash in a secured area so we can meet their exercise & mental enrichment needs. Training is important, but those other needs come first, and cannot be met on a short leash walking at your side on a street. I think that going for exercise/exploration walks, and then fitting in short, fun bursts of training in these walks (but also at home a lot too!).
18:08 So important to work where the dog CAN work. Trying to train when a dog is over threshold is not only useless and frustrating for the handler, it's frustrating and unfair to the dog. Gaining distance, and then rewarding calmer behaviors and good behaviors is much more effective and fair to the dog. Putting dogs in a situation that is scary/frustrating/exciting, and then punishing them for reacting to the stimulus is unfair and cruel. Gaining distance is so much better! Also: Dogs choose the distance that they are comfortable at. Saying that: "Alright this is a good spot. The dog should listen now" is not a good idea. The dog defines how far they are comfortable. Some dogs need 100, even 300 feet between them and a trigger to start training.
23:50 He may have not taken rewards here (I would just step back then), but I would have been rewarding like crazy here! Lots of treats, praise, physical affection, and ball play.
27:08 Yes! Be very proud of any success. It's important to tolerate other issues when working on one specific one. No one is perfect, and we can't fix everything at the same time! Chop did fantastically!
Phew, the view and nature over there!
So so glad I found your channel. I am literally obsessed with your videos. I love watching you and Bri interact with the dogs. And I love your training method. Currently binge watching Chop’s episodes and reading your first book!
This is a wonderful series thank you for the work your doing.
We got our first puppy used to the vacuum when he was resting in another room but with the door open. Then after awhile just a bit further away while he was up, short durations. Maybe everyday or every other day. Our dogs don’t care about it at all. Good tips in the vid!
Amazing environment and awesome training! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love your videos. This one really is good though as its what we experience everyday with our border collie pup. He is incredibly reactive and yes it can be so lonely especially when you are out as people look and stare. This video is so useful.
Thank you watching your videos has been helpful on working with my mostly blind pitbul mix...that has become extremely reactive to my older husky.
Oh a side note I miss George! Hope he's doing great!
It's okay, Zak! So sorry this dog is giving you a hard time. You've got this 😎👍
You always have such good information and really good common sense training techniques . Easy to understand to apply in small steps and I think that is the key along with patience. Love your videos .
Im from Vancouver (rainy af, and where the Vessi company started) and Vessis have literally changed my life. I no longer have to wear rain boots every day
Totally agree!
Microseconds of success. I love it. :) I'm thinking you've got Chop a lot closer to where you want him than you might realize. Seems to me Chops switch is about to flip in a good way. :)
Zak, it's reality , love it . I'll try it . Appreciate .
It didnt come out on sunday! I was like panic! I missed it! Realized ohh wait "training isnt linear" and he's probably had some happy little accidents with chop. Cant wait for the next episode your doing amazing!
Love those paintings of inertia and indy ❤️
As a corgi owner I found it hilarious how pancake can intimidate more than chop lol! My corgi iris is definitely strong willed as well
That mofo was not messing around 🤣❤️🔥🥞
lol, all that hair. My short haired dog sheds more than any other dog I've ever had. It's insane. I have a Shark, which works well, and I have a Bissel Crosswave for the hard floors. The crosswave vacuums and mops at the same time. It's a dream come true. Supposedly, you can use it on area rugs as well as hard floors, but I don't have any area rugs ...
Fantastic videos - gonna order both of Zak's books now, as a result of binge-watching reality dog training series! Lots to learn here. Also, hanging out on this channel has inspired me to start trick training with my adolescent Beagle. As a result, now, even my 3 year-old Mastiff has learned army-crawl and other tricks, simply because when she sees me and the Beagle train, she wants to join in. GREAT fun!
I can SO relate to Chop's reaction to other dogs. My golden doodle was the same way! He wouldn't respond to treats or toys. It was so hard! And yes, I felt very alone, and embarrassed as I was trying to get my dog under control. It did get better, but it took LOTS of hard work and patience. His was all excitement based. So thank you for showing us that patience pays off! At the end, Chop at least responded to you, so he's making good progress. I always love seeing him play with Inertia! Thank you so much for providing us with this wonderful content of reality dog training!
This was the episode i was looking forward to the most. Having to work on the reactive part with my dog is rough and needed more footage of ways to work on it. I'll need to go to one of the nearest dog parks and work on this since I want him to be able to interact with others on the leash and play with others within the dog park.
Beautiful landscape , Well Comp appears to want to learn, I think he didn't do to bad for only a second time at the dog park. Ding a fine job with Chomp , look forward to seeing continued training with this boy, I am learning a great deal to help me with my reactive dobordor .
I love your videos there amazing l can’t believe you are actually going to train him that amazing keep up the good work
I have a reactive dog who is muzzled. It can so lonely! I literally avoid everyone who has a dog when I'm on a walk. With patience and understand though she is making lots of progress!
This is such a great lesson for me, I have a reactive dog, luckily she is a miniature schnauzer so it’s not too hard to hold her back.
My dog is incredibly fearful. Shes not really a barker, but when she seems something "scary" she will try and bolt away from it. This means we cannot simply go for hikes and such because at any point she may decide shes done and pull and lunge to get away from the scary thing. Its been really tough honestly. Thank you for talking about the realities of dog reactivity, its very lonely. Its also a sad reality that the dog/life you imagined for yourself, isnt what is really happening and that takes time to accept and work on
Excellent! Thank you so much!
Great episodes! My favorite series!
Zak can we pls get a update on how inertia is doing like a day in the life
You are the 2nd dog person on UA-cam I've seen with those shoes! First one being Molly Burke, the blind girl who just got her new guide dog Benelux/Bennix. Also, do the narration clips in your other place mean Chop has found a family? Fingers crossed!
Yes! more on resource guarding between dogs with toys/food! I recently discovered my boy guards only around other dogs, not me and would like to learn how to manage it!
Check out the latest episode 🥰
Wow another awesome video and lots of great tips. Of course my dog is 6 lbs full grown but we’ve used your videos to train her. She thinks she’s 100 lbs haha
This is a fantastic video! You really portrayed the kind of slow and patient time it takes to work under threshold, although I would rather owners spend significantly less time over threshold. I tend to push it too much with my personal dogs at about this rate and when I manage to keep things more consistently under threshold I see more progress. I would say that with a dog who is reacting out of fear, it's more important to avoid going over than a dog like chop who is just wanting to be friendly.
Came here due to Beckman, very much enjoying the content here too. :) Great breakdowns for why you do what you do.
I always get hungry , when I see the NomNom at the videos . 😂
This is a great series guys!!!!
sooo helpful, thanks
Wow thank you! I’ve learned so much from watching this series!
Yesss! I was waiting for the newest episode❤️
Great video.. Show that dog training takes time and dedication.. and it is NEVER a quick fix... With dogs like that we actually use Bachs flower remedies alongside the training. Works wonders :) Aldaron is the place to go to - they have all the special blends for animals... or make spec. blends for your dog.. They are VERY good at what they do.
I think that is the most sponsors I have seen in 1 of your videos. The Vessi one reminds me that I need to check them out.
Three different products sponsored in the video? Zak is goals lol A legend. Love this video and love Chop ❤️
As usual, good content :) Chop is looking well
"how do eels reproduce" omg loved that! its the internet mystery for sure!
Brilliant episode.
I love how there is a bully in Alaska I wonder how they have him threw winter
After just turning on the vacuum you could see a whole dog in there 🤣🤣🤣
My dog barks at the vacuum...it's hilarious to see a 90 lb dog run away from the vacuum😂...The same story at our house where the vacuum fills up in minutes
