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!! 🤩
Omg, the fall asleep while holding a toy is a total pittie move.
Agreed! My pittie did that all the time as a younger pup. 😄
Agree. Watching this series has helped me to appreciate all the crazy pitty behavior my amstaff mix shows and I love him even more for it.
They are just adorable for it. For ours I found kissing them on the nose worked. They would let go and immediately turn into mush puppy, after all the love they can get. May not be a professional move, and frowned on because you could get bit. But I only did it on our pups who you know inside and out.
Precious 🐾
@@ztigris nah, it's totally fine! HUGE difference between getting in YOUR OWN DOG'S face and a strange dog lol. I get in my pits faces all the time.. take away bones, treats, mess with them while they're eating all the time just to keep them used to it.. But, I've got quite a few pits and also have little kids running around everywhere. So I make sure every dog is 100000% stable/sound tempered and non aggressive over food/toy's/treats
I am a trainer and appreciate you being real in your videos. Too many trainers on the internet want to show the end result instead of the process.
Idk what to say.... The effort you're putting into every episode is mind blowing. Not to mention about how you're also helping hundreds of dog owners to train their dogs!
hmm... 3.25 millions subs ! I'd be 'working' like this playing you along making big money also when there are actually much better solutions under your nose that don't need this total time wasting stuff.
@@HDvids101 What does this even mean?
Content and production has definitely grown compared to the earliest videos…keep on keepin on y’all. Thank you and Brie for all your work and for just being who y’all are.
Anyone with an issue about George’s “let go” clearly hasn’t spent time with a bull terrier. They were selectively bred to bite down hard and hold on no matter what. That doesn’t mean they can’t be taught. It just takes a little while. You just need patience to match their stubbornness! Thank you for showing us what putting the work in actually looks like.
And that's why its a good thing that they are banned in so many countries including the UK. Its not the dogs, its the fact that too many people who get dogs are not prepared, able or willing to get help needed to train them properly.
@@cbcdesign001 you couldn’t have read what he said more wrong. They should not be banned. If you were in a group of people and one person stole something with no one else’s knowledge would it be fair that you were also punished and throw into jail just because you were in the same group as the person who stole? I don’t think you would appreciate it. I’ve owned 4 pit bulls not a single one ever showed any sign of aggression. I’m a vet tech so I take dog training seriously. He’s referencing his drive for the ball and to keep it not aggression and the lie of lock jaw.
1. George looks more like a Staffordshire terrier probably a American Staffordshire terrier
2. The may of not been bred with the best intentions but there still awesome doggo. (The best imho)
@yexie well that's great except a American Staffordshire terrier is a real breed and American pitbull terrier is a made up breed. Mostly because the main "pit bulls" are the am staff, standard Staffordshire terrier, and the bull terrier.
@@masjuggalo no that is not true the American pit bull terrier was registered with the ADBA around 1909 and there was no breed called American Staffordshire Terrier.
Antel the AKC registered American pit bull terriers under the name American Staffordshire terrier in the 1930's.
You can look up the first dog's that were registered with the AKC as American Staffordshire Terrier but they were American pit bull terriers.
American pit bull terrier was a recognized breed for around 30 years before the American Staffordshire Terrier ever happened.
Am I the only one who says "good boy" out loud when George does good??
I'd like to know how old is that dog? Has it been mention before?
WHO COULD NOT?!?! I mean, he's SO GOOD. I love him 😍
I certainly do lol
I have a pitbull cross, dunno what with, and I see so much of Sputnik, in George. Super smart. Strong willed, Sput can he a bit intense at times, just wants to check something out, usually. And they have to be a 'dog', sniff and look around. And yeah, like you, I'm cheering for George. Dogs are such wonderful creatures, mans best friend, sums it up perfectly.
@@bluecaroline4407 Zak said he thinks he's a year and a bit. He's a beautiful boy. Someone is in for the dog of a lifetime. If I was in America, he'd be coming to my place, for ever. But I'm in Australia, and already have a pitbull. Sputnik the Wonder Dog.
This must be so hard! I’m 11 years old and I taught my dog how to walk nice and getting good at recall also one of your videos taught her how to spin!
Good work youngster.
Am I the only one that loves Zak saying "no relation" 🤣
Me too lol hes no is relaxing
I love when he says "no sir!"
He is terrific 🙂
Zak: “I want his focus on me and not the birds.”
Also Zak 2 minutes later: “Oh look at that fun bird! What is that?!… Look at these cool birds!”
😂😂
🤣🦆🦅🦉👀
😂
Geese are not stupid, they're cleared out😂😂😂
@@s.v.662 not stupid at all! But can definitely be vicious if they feel threatened lol my little jack russell tries to mess with my geese & ducks all the time😂 he hasn't learned yet 🤦my pitbulls even know better than to try messing with the geese lol
@@mikefrost8775 where or when did I use the word stupid? I laughed one comment and the other is my dog would own that hoverboard.
What are you talking about?
My malamute almost pulled my arm out chasing a squirrel. This was the first month we got him. Now he lets small critters go when we say leave it. Some days it's 10 steps back and you learn to climb back 1 step at a time again. But the time you spend with your dog is so rewarding in itself... every day is a new challenge...never a dull moment 😁
Needed to hear that affirmation. Mid 30s disabled w MS n just got a 16 week old aussiedoodle after my labradoodle bestie passed recently. Always had adult to senior dogs so puppy energy has been completely new challenges! I'm home 24/7 so training around the SC heat as a ginger has been a dedicated effort lmao. Feeling lucky n less overwhelmed the more I dive into investing on obedience training with tweaks I make up in order to compensate for fall safety nlw "leave it".
@@difranophile One morning three bunnies came running towards us. I was shocked. Stopped dead on tracks. Said leave it and moved across the street without much effort. Sometimes the training works and sometimes one squirrel can derail all the efforts. But with time I have gotten better with my own reflexes so don't give my dog a chance to react. I understand him and he understands me. It's so much fun building trust with each other 😁
@@contactgala my partner and I went to his well puppy checkup and they put him on the table. His behavior was beyond expectations ♡. I was very pleased when my mommy reflexes caught him as he went to shuffle away after the fecal sample by the nurse (he looked so violated lol). Just as he fell off the 6 foot table I caught him mid air despite my disability and everyone was shocked and impressed(including me)! I felt super proud. I have been beating myself up after rescues were so cruel about my ability to care for a dog wo meeting me, insisting on obnoxiously classist gatekeepering needs of 2 full acres+ for a rescue dog to be placed w an adoptee. In 2020 or 2021 idk many people who could provide that must real estate AND be dedicated enough to not have children and be able to give a wild doodle the care and support that's needed. I hope there's humans willing to join us w lesser agency to be considered in these spaces. Wo Finnigan I'd still be in my deep grief over Cooper who lived as a giant 120lb doodle mix that I cared for from 7-13years of age. Looking forward to a day when folks call these "rescues" on the human animal cruelties and harm they're lobbing at us disabled folks. 😀
The way that George perked up for just a second after remembering Bree was there in the park was so precious. He was just like “Hey wait I know that human, I like that human, she’s pretty great”
I misread your post and thought you meant Zak. I was like, well, they are married... ha ha ha 😂
i still cannot get over his adorable front paw socks
Early! This is a great example for people to wake up and realize their dogs need trained. You can’t just get a dog and except it to have great manners.
wait that’s funny i’ve seen you in another comment section on a totally different channel 💀 funny because the video was zak and that border collie
@@suri3568 what's funny here?
@@pragyaraj4206was that in a rude way? i’m saying it’s funny i’m seeing them again. i’ve seen them on a totally different channel about zack training a dog and they replied to my comment n
YESSSS!
@@suri3568 wait... So you assumed it in a rude way? Dude, I've never been rude to anyone in my life, let alone the internet. My little brain was having trouble to understand what was funny in the reply that you wrote .. Just that 😂 Also, I'm not even interested in starting any argument here.. So let's drop this and be friends 👍
I wish you would consider keeping George. He is a special dog who needs someone who will continue doing the things you have trained him to do, Like the multiple frisbee game. He is highly intelligent and responds so well to you. You would give him the life he deserves…Mad respect for all you do. ♥️🇨🇦
I LOVE dogs who look intimidating but who are big, sweet marshmallows - just like George!
I liked that you cut from the "let go" issue during the initial parts (which I noticed you were doing and said to myself, 'that probably didn't go well and he didn't want to show it'), but then you went back to it and talked about it when in the car. That's the kind of detail that makes this series pop, well done.
I wouldn’t let that dog go. He’s brilliant! ❤️
Do we know how old is that dog?
@@bluecaroline4407 about a year. He’s an exuberant puppy still. He’s damn smart.
@@sandranewman5067 Yes what a smart dog! So he's only one years old, still a young dog. Thanks!
@@bluecaroline4407 he really is. He’s just strong. It shows how imperative it is to teach puppies while young. One exuberant jump, handler is in their buttocks! He’s a really goood boy... he’s smarter than zak’a other pups. ❤️
@@sandranewman5067 Yes I wouldn't have said it first, but I think he's so smart, even more than Inertia...
I like the fact you don't give up on George. You continue to train him in all challenges.
George is a dog in a million that's for sure! Now then Zak.....(I have my stern mum face on !) lets talk about the way you and this dog look at each other 🤔....and those little face kisses from you to George which I noticed for the first time in this episode 🤗 Please keep him... he's meant to be with you and your lovely wife Bree. He would be such a fabulous role model for all the powerful pit like breeds out there who are frequently misunderstood and as a result suffer undeserved ill treatment and downright cruelty 😥
You hit the nail right on the head. Very perceptive, my friend. George is beautiful. I have my pitbull boy, Sputnik. He's three and a half. Not a bad bone in him. We have a very large, maybe 50 acres, of off leash dog park here, where we live in Australia. We go there every morning for a good couple of hours. He has tons of friends there, plays with them all. But Luna, the blue Staffie, well, that's the love of his life. He worships the ground she walks on. Beautiful, and very funny, to watch. Juvenile behaviour, personified.
I am DYING over Bree's comments at the end about George's meaty mouth, that is hilarious lol. Precious: The lil kisses that Zak was sneaking in while waiting for George to let go. You people are adorable and of course George is the best. Loving this series, we are learning so much. Thank you!
George and the red ball have a separate fanbase😅 he's such a genius
I think we have a new Spokesdog for Barkbox -obviously George is the Happiest Dog On Earth when he has his toy!
He's not asleep. He's keeping his eyes closed so he can ignore you better. He loves using his jaws to retain the ball. Such a good playful boy.
I don't know why but when you said "do not lunge at the geese, please" it cracked me up😂🐕
Also, my dog learns well and is also as smart as George with his training...but how do I train my husband to train the dog? He doesn't follow any of the training I've started and I feel like it is constantly causing the 3 step back stage again and again.
I also have a spouse training issue.
Have you tried bacon flavored treats? lmao
What motivates him? Your husband, that is...
Keep up the great work! Forget about them trolls
Great work
There are more that love you then trolls.
We could never make fun of Zack hes too wholesome
Whenever our super chewer box arrives, Ollive dashes back and forth between all the new toys and then eventually lies down with each paw on a toy and a toy in her mouth 😂
Omg that sounds too adorable!!
Oh Zak! The patience and kind love you show every dog genuinely inspires me. My little lurcher Isla is a cheeky pup, even though she is 6 next week, she is still like a puppy! All the things I've taught her over the years have come from your wonderful videos, she is a bright girl just like little George, but she is vey reactive with other doggies after a nasty attack some years ago (which admittedly probably made me more nervous and protective too which doesn't help her!), but honestly watching your Reality Dog Training series is helping me so much, just to get some structure back again for Isla, and even in just a couple of weeks of me trying to follow your tips she is already much more attentive to me and managing to give some lovely sits when other dogs are walking by, which is huge for her! So thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart, you're not only helping people learn how to train with kindness, but in this series you're also showing how incredible rescue doggies are :) xxx
George falling asleep with the ball in his mouth melted my heart ❤️😂
Purely positive let the dog do what he wants first then try and get his attention after he’s satisfied his curiosity doesn’t seem to work. What happens if you need the dogs attention right then and there
Watching this series, I finally realize how full my hands are with the rescue dog I chose. He jumped my dad’s privacy fence today, and set off chasing every duck and day he could find in the neighborhood. He’s part vizsla and part pit, so his prey drive is crazy. I never allow him in public off leash, so this one-off gave me a lot of information. At least the cat won. It was doing better training my dog than I am. Actually, I had to laugh about how much that cat had my dog on the run not being phased by my dog barking at all.
When Zak bounced the ball in front of him I literally said, "Oh woooow"
Proud of George like he was mine 🤣
I like when you both talk on camera, great series so far! Can't wait for more
It very interesting, hi how are you doing!
Gosh, I am going to miss George SO MUCH when this is over and he's adopted! So smart! So sweet! I love this boy!!
Zak kissing George on his nose..melts my 💖..I will continue to say.. Thank you Zak and Bree for sharing your family with George ❤️
I love seeing this real working progress! It’s not all just easy, it requires a lot of loving work!
Loving work❤️
You’re not kidding!
We just rescued a pitt/am staff/labrador mix. She's a lot like George. This series has been encouraging for me as we train her.
Impulse control was one of the two most difficult things to train my dog. THANK you for these videos! Since I adopted my puppy back 3 years ago, I have been using your videos throughout all of my training!
Now, she is a good k9 citizen certified, and we are still adding new tricks and commands to her bag!!
Thank you for your videos!!!
You are absolutely right, hi how are you doing!
I love this entire series so much. The way George looks at Zak with such love in his eyes. I'm afraid to watch more because I don't want to see the partnership end
It's so nice to see someone else with a dog who has an issue with letting go.
Yep.
This dog, omg he is so so special I can’t even handle it. I am overwhelmed by how much I love him.
George has such heart. I love this dog!
Oh my goodness. George gets cuter and cuter every episode! You guys are doing an excellent job with him.
Possibly the funniest, sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
It very funny,hi how are you doing!
What an absolute gorgeous boy he needs you so much and you need him xxx
Love this series. This is exactly like my rescued pit. You are proving if a very valuable service. Thank you.
There’s an English dog trainer who would call George’s ball his Kryptonite! He believes in starting all training by discovering the dog’s Kryptonite.
I love the way Zak reads the dog!
Easiest way to train ANY dog is to find the thing they're most willing to work for!!! For me personally, Pitbulls have been the absolute easiest dogs for me to figure out and motivate. These dogs just live to please their owner's/handlers/trainer's. A good toy and some good food & you've got a dog that'll do anything you ask!
That sounds great,hi how are you doing!
That is a great way to look at. All I know is that with Boxers and Pitties the training never stops.
Your so amazing with dogs . A lot of why my dog is so well behaved if not all is because I dedicated many nights watching your videos. Thank you for caring so much !
I LOVE WORKING WITH PITTIES! Thier kryptonite isn't usually to difficult to figure out. In fact the one I work with generally respond to most toys eagerly. I adopted a 6 yr old Korean Jindo dog earlier this year who doesnt respond to food, toys or me when she hyper focuses the way we see George do in this video. I would love to see Zac work with an older dog who maybe hasn't been previously conditioned by people to respond to food or toys. There are plenty of them in the shelters.
They are so lovely,hi how are you doing!
I love you using the ball as currency. Some dogs just aren’t food motivated., but really perk up when a toy they love is introduced instead. Your video shows people to experiment and find a motivator their dog will work for.
Tying the leash to you, and that particular harness too ❤️
I love Bree's commentary.... He's blissed out, look at his meaty lips, hahaha I was cracking up.
Love this series! 👍🏻😊
Don’t care about the people what are they going to say about it,keep the good work on
I love this series so much.
Im totally in love with George!!!
It's very interesting, hi how are you doing!
I love that you share your story so honestly ❣️
What a great show! Thank you so much.. this is sooo useful 🙏🏻
I loved this video. Keep up the good work.
I don't even have a dog but I love these videos and Zak's channel in general. It's so amazing to see how smart dogs are and the bonds they can form between humans is heart warming. I find myself smiling through the entire videos (unless something bad happens, of course!). I really admire the work you guys do with these dogs and hope that I can someday get a dog myself and put this into practice.
George is like my Staffy Spike (7years old now), with treats the "let go" and "drop it" command were quickly learned when I got him. It is the beauty of having a dog that listens to you without being broken. My dog is listening to me and I can trust him, but still I love the fact that he still has his stubborn personality. One example, our routine is shops first then park then home. In this order no props. If we go shops ( the ones where he can come in with me inside ) then home because something came up and we have to go later to the park. A diva is born I will have to tell him several times or even put him on a leash before he makes a run for the neighbors gardens.
I heart George! Thank you for featuring a pitbull type dog in your series. Your videos are transforming me as a dog owner. I am training my second pitmix rescue and it helps to see theses beautiful dogs highlighted. Such fantastic family pets. These amazing dogs are easy to find as the shelters are full of them. BTW, I would throw down cash money to see an episode of "where are they now" where you visit and tighten up any loose training.
I totally get this experience. I have an Am Staff mix who's a little over a year and we've been working on his bird impulse control. He's super strong and me being a petite 100ish pound woman trying to keep a 80 pound dog controlled and focused and not lunging after birds is super fun. We continue our journey 😉. Keep the faith Zak. George is worth it ❤️
Training training training❤️
What a dog! What a dog trainer! Amazing to watch the relationship and communication.
Keep up the hard work! It's hard to train dogs but will give them a great benefit at the end of the day. Love these series Zak thanks !
I just love George! What a good, smart boy! You're doing great work, Zak.
I loved seeing this! George is making great progress! I know he's still working on things, like leave it and drop it, but honestly, he's such an amazing dog! I can understand if you can't let him go! Keep up the great work! No one should troll you.
Love this series! We started watching your videos a couple of months before welcoming our puppy home. So glad we did as, with your help, he's doing so well! Thank you both for the time and effort you put into your videos. We really appreciate it! Sending love from England
Another terrific video here ! Thank you Zak and Brie ! Love this.
What a great dog he’s going to make some lucky person really happy
Oh my goodness! I actually laughed out loud, their you are driving in the car explaining about training early due to the weather and I'm nodding in agreement, I do that check, then you explain about George's moment regarding birds in the previous episode and again I'm nodding in agreement, yup I saw that, then you say "here we are at a bird sanctuary" nope didn't see that one coming. For a split second I imagined both of you in the lake, feathers and birds everywhere, I laughed so hard my tea came down my nose. Seriously though excellent session, love how inventive and honest you are. Any dog will chase a squirrel, but dogs like George will be vilified for it. Keep up the good work 👏💕
I have a pandemic puppy and your videos have been so informative and invaluable for me and my family. Thank you so much for creating this content and keep up the great work. Your services are greatly appreciated!☺️
Hi Zack, glad to see George is doing well, keep up the good work with George.
Thank you Zak.
I love this! My pitty has trouble with let go and drop it too! Keep fighting the good fight my dudes.
I trained my boy with the term 'give to dad', and MOST of the time it works. He's a bit fixated, like George, on a ball. We go to the park, the beach, he steals any ball in sight. Just wants the other dogs to play with him. He's three and a half. We adopted each other about 20 months ago. He was surrendered to our local no kill, Council Animal Shelter, here were we live in Australia. I love my boy, he's a sweetheart, a real softie.
@@kellyswoodyard aren’t they THE BEST?! I’ve had my girl for about 8 months. She we encounter something in the wild that is high value getting her to drop it is almost always a losing battle, but she does really well when we’re training it inside. When I got her she had never been taught not to play bite or mouth people. Training play biting out of 50 lb one year old pitbull was painful and not fun but it only took about 6 weeks and and it was worth it. She is the sweetest girl. When you get a rescue you’re promising to love them and set them up for success. I love that this channel is starting to show that’s it’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
Oh my, what a good boy! Thank you for taking the time to show what good dogs patties can be!!
Your videos rock! You not only show the success but also the failures which many do not
These series you have done are great. I hope you continue! To see the different dogs and different approaches, talents, and problems over a period of time; it’s so valuable. I would love to see followups as well, on the different dogs you have featured and how they are doing.
Well done George!👏👏👏👏 I loved the ending😀💙
Easily, my FAVORITE SERIES! 💕❤️
George is so like the dogs I volunteer with in the uk. Great watching him figure it out and you guiding him even better as you get to understand him more. He is such a character!
Lovin u guys from far Tel Aviv, Can’t wait for the next episode ❣️😎🐶
I have a superfearful dog and not focused on toys at all, so it's a pleasure watching you guys train and enjoy the ball. You're the best🤗
I look forward to watching each new video of George. I love him so much. My Staffordshire bull terrier also won't let go of balls very easily either 🤣 You guys are the best! ❤️
Amazing.. thank you
From Australia 😄
Well done! Brilliant dog, beautiful handling! Bully types just need a chance to shine. Thank you for your realistic approach and patience.
It's so helpful to me to see these imperfect training sessions, like when George is distracted or won't let go, so I know some strategies for dealing with them. Your method is so kind but without letting him get his way, even if it takes 6.5 minutes!
Lovely dog, such a Dream of an Dog. 🥰 And super smart
I have learned so much from you! I have MS and with your videos I was able to teach my dobie a few “tricks” to help me. Thanks! 💜
Would you ever consider making a series about how to train Livestock dogs.... i can't seem to find any good series about training livestock dogs....like a in depth series.....BTW I'm loving your videos
Check into Hanging Tree Cowdogs channel and that have a book and blog too. Also Beloka Kelpies has some videos on YT and I also look at Sheepdog channels too.
@@jdoveyk9422 thank youuu !!!!
I'm having trouble finding training modification for someone like me that's disabled n need assistive devices to not scare n to get underfoot
@@difranophile same tbh. :/ still getting used to having to walk with a cane and having very little strength. And it is making training sessions stressful. And painful :(
My Katy is so good at sitting and staying when she hears you. Now for her to learn to do it for me!! Thanks for all you do..have a great week
George is a very handsome brindle guy. Thanks for working with him.
I had a female pit, who looked a lot like George, she was a sweetheart, but others would cross the street to avoid her. Such loyal, loving dogs.
I experience some of the same challenges when working with my puppy, especially when it comes to leash pulling 😄 Thank you for showing the realities of dog training! Watching this series as well as your other videos has given me so much encouragement and has helped me learn how I can be a better teacher for my dog. Looking forward to next week's episode with George!
I really love how you show the good and not so good training sessions. At the very end, the insta story video, it is very interesting to see you put in that time to not let him win the ball, no matter how long you have to try and get it out of his mouth, and I really didn't compute that you would give it back to him so quickly, but I understand why and I'm making a mental note to myself of how to prevent possessivity when I get my puppy (end of this year, begginning of next year, I have been saving up and planning to rent another place that my current flat, a place with with a small garden) !
Hi Zak! LOVE all your videos and all the time and effort you are putting into George! I hope one day you offer a meet and greet!
Commendable work
Amazing training ! Kind, considerate, patient, focussed, just to name a few qualities of the trainer 😁
You are amazing! I've been following you for awhile now & recommend your videos to others that have issues w/their furbabies! Don't listen to the trolls & keep up the GREAT work.
I see so much of my dog in George; she’s a bully breed too. I am now inspired to go out and continue her training, thanks!
George is rockin it
