Haha well its perfectly normal though, be proud on your roommates :D. When meeting other dogs and owners I dont askmuch about there dogs, I talk about mine xD
We did our first “fetch” session with our rescue today! I thought we would never get her to stop biting our legs, but 15 mins on a long line + throwing her tennis ball (the only toy she knows how to play with) and all of the sudden, she’s no longer biting. Your videos and book are saving my legs, arms, and hands!! Thank you so much!
Cant stop laughing haha.. Im bad at throwing them aswell but luckily a game of fetch can be done with basicly anything that youre able to throw and the dog likes.. My dog favors thick short branches or sometimes balls. If it works, it works :D
@@laner.845 Chuck-It is the best. i use the mini version because my dog is too small to mouth a regular size tennis ball. She practically passes out from joy when I get it out.

This is one of the reasons why I continue to recommend you almost daily! I take my three Shih Tzu to the park every day and I’m commented to constantly about how good they are how well they listen and how sweet they are! I owe it all to you Zack! Granted one of them is 17 and probably didn’t need any more training he still has responded beautifully! The other two at 9 1/2 months and a year and a half are the most amazing dogs and it has brought such joy to my life! Thank you very much for sharing all of your knowledge. YOU ARE APPRECIATED 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼😇💕🐶🐶🐶
I have an 8 month old pup and we live in the city so we don’t have a fenced in yard but we live about a 3 minute walk from a soccer field! I recently ordered a 30 ft leash for her because I don’t yet trust her to listen to me (it’s a work in progress!), and I’ve been taking her to the field the play fetch and it’s helped soooo much!
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing that. I literally was just about to post a question asking about this, because my pup is also 8 months, and I am nervous to let him off leash in a dog park, or anywhere really. I will try that long leash thing.
Zak you should make more videos about getting a dog from a shelter. Too many people just assume everyone gets their dog from a breeder. Also, I've been looking for a good dog from a shelter for a while and it's hard so talk about that too. Sometimes shelters are very non inclusive and a first time owner like me or someone without a fenced in yard can't get one from a shelter because they are too strict with their requirements. I think more people need to know about things like this
That’s because dogs from the shelter will often have behavioural issues from being abandoned or abused or being in a shelter in general. They need a pet parent with experience who can handle these problems and won’t be giving the dog back to the shelter , because that would only worsen the dogs trust in humans.. But I’m sure if you keep talking to the shelter and showing interest and show that you educate yourself, they could maybe find the right dog for you after all. Keep trying keep learning! ✌🏻
I got my first dog from a shelter when she was 6 months. She’s a year and a half now. She definitely came with issues and it took her close to a year to even cuddle with me on the couch. If you plan on getting a dog from a shelter be prepared to work with them for the long haul in terms of their trauma and behavioral problems. But, they are definitely worth the extra love and care
His videos and approach won't help many dogs that have behavioral issues or are under socialized. He is only good for people starting from scratch with more natural confident dogs. There are plenty of other dog trainers that can help and be more sensitive to deal with rescued dogs. Search for Kikopup. She has amazing border collies and also rescued dogs that used to have severe behavior issues. And she managed them like a real pro and still very sensitive and gentle about it. :)
@@Flippokid they do but they keep them on a leash and rarely let them go up to other dogs. I try to tell them to at least take them to off leash parks but they are crazy over protective
@@averyandwillow2041 I’ve seen a dog fight at a dog park. A little 4 month old pup with a beautiful temperament who was having her first play off-leash at a dog park. Within the first 5 minutes she was attacked by a mutt of some kind and killed. Every since that I’ve also been over protective of my dogs at parks. I walk off-leash all the time but never around dog parks. And people always think I’m over protective but I just can’t stop thinking about that poor pup every time. So I can understand your neighbours thought process if they’ve had a bad experience like me
Hey Zak! Just got a new 3 month old puppy and have found that both your new videos and old have given me confidence in these first few days. Thanks for that!
Just got a walker hound mix. My vet says they can be challenging to train but was so happy to find this series. I am learning lots and I love how your videos show how things don’t always go perfectly and that’s okay.
I have a border collie ??? ( who was abandoned) She can do fetch really well inside and then also outside with treats, she is super food motivated. Outside though she is not really into it and prefers to chase a kicked football ( soccer). This video gives me real motivation to keep trying with fetch outside. It has really helped to know you have had to keep trying with Inertia. Thank you.
love your videos! You're the reason I refused to ever get a shock collar or prong collar for my dog when I got him! I have a 145lb mastiff and have trained him without ever resorting to pain methods. Thank you!
The fact that you are talking about ecollars and prongs that way shows you don’t have enough brain power to properly use them any how. Don’t talk bad about tools you don’t understand. You’re just spreading misinformation.
@@becca3702 glad you got that off your chest. Feel better now? Find a hobby instead of wasting time negatively replying to a comment that has nothing to do with you.
Gina Smith it was clearly a dig at people who use prongs and ecollars🤷♀️ They’re great tools. No idea why people talk so negatively about them for no apparent reason. You’re just adding to the stigma.
@@becca3702 ok they work for u and I 'd rather not use them. Everybody isn't going to agree with everything you do or believe in and vice versa. If people choose to use them thats their choice. Doesn't affect me or my life as does my comment doesnt affect you or your life. Have a good day.
My dog is fetching a food dummy. You can train so many nice things with it. Wait for things, looking for them. COming back. He is very food motivated. We also do long runs etc. He loves that as well.
My 13 week old puppy LOVES this old frisbee I have, she gets more excited about playing tug with it than any other toy, even though it is wayyyy too big for her. I'm so excited to teach her to catch a frisbee, I think she will love it!
I found you at the right time. I have a ten week old rat terrier puppy who has WAY more energy than any other dog I have had! I am going back and watching your videos and subscribing!
I don't even have a dog... Just watch these to feel prepared when I do get one. She is such a lovely dog! Definitely going to get a collie, always had collies when I was young, great dogs for families in my opinion
I’ve been following you since videos with Indie and who let the dogs out etc and it’s so amazing to see Intertia doing so well - how did she grow up so fast?! Should be moving in the next year or so and want a dog so badly then! Thanks for all the tips and tricks ❤️
Zak, thank you, thank you for still keeping up with the series! I was apprehending that, well, it would only be till the puppy 1 year. But thank you, thank you for keep going with it! Cheers!
You guys are lucky enough to have this much open space and fresh air. I live in the Middle East where it's burning summer for about 6 months and not a lot of outdoor dog friendly places. My 4 month old rescue pup gets a bit hyper when I'm not able to take her out everyday (not to mention vets seem to advise against taking young pups out when their immune system is still developing) and starts chewing everything, or snapping at our ankles. Toilet training also poses a HUGE challenge with apartment living.
I live in Canada so my problem is it's too cold LOL For potty training, I take my puppy to the balcony with pee pads. It's outside, but easily accessible. Hopefully you have a balcony. If not, you can train them with a tray and pee pad and basically get them to use it like a litter box like cats.
I love your videos. I’m a first time dog owner, we got a puppy and I was very nervous because I have NO clue what I’m doing and my fear was that our dog would pick up on that anxiety. But your videos are so practical and give me confidence, and our puppy has been very responsive.
Thank you so much for this series! My family and I are planing on getting a puppy soon! I am much more prepared for this exsiting experience! Thank you!!!!
This info is so interesting. My dog is a rescue and because he was mistreated he learned to guard resources. When I try to get him to play he guards the toys and he growls and tries to bite. Our other training is not going great, spotty at best. I finally got him to walk properly on the leash. I finally got him to the point where I can put my hand in his bowl of food & he loves to be hand fed. But "leave it" isn't going so well and if a treat falls on the floor, I had better keep my fingers out of his way. I don't know if I will ever get him past these issues but I keep trying.
Hi zak l am your new subscriber few days ago l got a street puppy l am trying to train him but he never listens to anyone but l will try training him by watching your video❤love from lndia
So awesome to see Inertia grow. I have no idea how you have the time to do all of this training. My wife and I both work 8+ hours per day so we have limited time, especially in the short daylight days. We got our Border Collie recently and he is 3 and didn't have much social training before us so he has been a challenge.
I love this series! Poppy, our 2 year old Collie, is not interested in the slightest with playing fetch, but she is so agile and energetic that I might try her again to see if she takes to it 😊
Getting my black Labrador puppy in a couple of days and your videos have helped so much!! I may have watched all of your inertia videos in less than a week... oops, THANKYOU from Australia ✨
A dog also knows love and loyalty. Something that sadly, a lot of women today don’t have. Probably explains the wife initiated divorced rate of 70 to 90% with the average marriage only lasting 8 years.
@@poopingwhilestanding5801 i think that goes both ways Hun. Most of my personal friends the men are the ones that cheated. I haven't married yet. But I think that's one main reason I didn't Marry cuz i don't believe in Divorce. So i have to make sure I marry someone who understands and believes the same way. I mean, the vows are exactly that TILL DEATH DO US PART?? I GUESS people just skip that part? 🤷♀️🤦♀️😞💔
@@anamarier4791 that’s a stupid reason “well I didn’t drive a car cause I thought it might break down” “I never walked cause I thought my knees might go out” “I never eat cause my meal might not have enough calories to give me energy”
@@poopingwhilestanding5801 I definitely agree my my uncle’s ex wife broke his arm right before their wedding and continued to be physically and emotionally abusive until they divorced and similar things happened happened with multiple of my friends I only know a single person where it was the husbands fault
Funny enough, aside from working with pullers (those purple rings) I had never really "trained" my dog to fetch and one day she decided she wanted to bring back the ball and since then, she fetches really well. It's honestly all about my energy and how stoked I am. I find it fun? she finds it fun! This is kind of a fluke in my training, but I honestly just wanted play time with her to be about creating a bond rather than having her follow a set of rules. I think I need a frisbee now though...but I tried to make her go around me and she looks at me like "why?"
I suggest using one of the soft frisbees rather than a plastic one. I have found it’s easier on the dogs mouth. I bought 3 recently for $10 on Amazon. Good video.
"But she's also being with a human being, like me." .... I love how it kinda sounded like he was questioning whether he was human or not. Maybe he's an alien 👽
Hey Zak, love the series, I have a Border collie 1y 9 months, great companion, tons of energy. Ren loves the Frisbee but sometimes gets bored with it (not to often).You mentioned Inertia sometimes gets bored with the frisbee. Have you tried any of the large herding balls or egg shaped ones. They are made of hard plastic so the dog can not cheat and just pick it up with their teeth, it forces the dog to move the ball with their nose or body. Ren loves them, we have him work the ball back to me. Not only does it relieve a lot of his energy in a short time it also really stimulates his mind, because of the concentration he needs to work the ball/egg back to my location. Maybe just a little suggestion from us, since you help us as dog owners so much.
Long-time fan I was watching your videos six years ago when I got my GSD Stella. You really turned me from ok to pretty good. After some basic clarification on terms she really became an avid fetcher and it was our daily activity for years. Unfortunately she tore an ACL a couple years ago and we couldn't have it fixed, partially because it seemed unrealistic she wouldn't hurt it again because of some quirks she has. Now she can't really do anything without hurting it so I'm looking at amputation but it's still outside my budget right now. I hope to be able to have it done early next year. I think it has really hurt her feelings that our relationship has essentially changed so much and she doesn't understand why. Sorry for the shpeel guess I just needed to get it off my chest.
I would love to have a place like this to play with my dog. Dog parks here are very rare and full of other dogs. And other places usually are not dog friendly.
You are totally correct in this. If your schedule allows, try do parks at off hours. Another option is Church parking lots are an option. They are usually vacant except for Sunday and at worst they will just tell you not to use the lot for fetch - no police calls etc. Almost always, nobody will say anything.
@@theqaac ❤️ I live in São Paulo, Brazil. Near the comercial center, but in a small house. Its a interesting place to live, but not the best place for a dog. I have a small backyard to play with her off leash. ^^`
Without twice daily fetch my B.C. is very high strung. ( Paces, will only settle for a few minutes, always staring at me etc.) With it, she is as close to a perfect dog as possible. You're fortunate you can use a ball park for fetch. Ours are dog prohibited, if they are open at all.
What is your favorite dog frisbee? Some disc golf companies have dog lids in much tougher plastic that can stand up to dog teeth a lot longer. Try the Latitude 64 Bite. 👍🏼
How do you safely and effectively give your dog a diet? How do you maintain the diet while training? And what do you do about or how do you ignore food begging? ..oh those puppy eyes 😍.
Zak I have been watching you fir sometime now.I love every thing I have seen.. Thank you so much for all the hard work you and you wife do. I have a Mini Aussie… And arthritis of the knees and hips so I’m not as agile and jumpy around as you are… My husband is of course when he comes home in the evenings… But during the day I feel so guilty she just sits and stares at me we do little things like I was tired to sit up and touch and talk to me little things like that but I know she’s so much more… Plus my next question was do you have DVDs on training I’m sure you do I’m just not finding them somewhere… Again thank you so much for all the work you both do.. 🙏
oh my gosh inertia has grown soo much she knows so many tricks! Thanks again Zak George for making this series i just cant thank you enough. I now have my own puppy called Coco she is a week old.

I mean, the vows are exactly that TILL DEATH DO US PART?? I GUESS people just skip that part? 🤷♀️🤦♀️😞💔
Dogs are girl’s best friend 🐶🐶🧡🧡
@@anamarier4791 that’s a stupid reason “well I didn’t drive a car cause I thought it might break down” “I never walked cause I thought my knees might go out” “I never eat cause my meal might not have enough calories to give me energy”
@@poopingwhilestanding5801 I definitely agree my my uncle’s ex wife broke his arm right before their wedding and continued to be physically and emotionally abusive until they divorced and similar things happened happened with multiple of my friends I only know a single person where it was the husbands fault
Funny enough, aside from working with pullers (those purple rings) I had never really "trained" my dog to fetch and one day she decided she wanted to bring back the ball and since then, she fetches really well. It's honestly all about my energy and how stoked I am. I find it fun? she finds it fun! This is kind of a fluke in my training, but I honestly just wanted play time with her to be about creating a bond rather than having her follow a set of rules. I think I need a frisbee now though...but I tried to make her go around me and she looks at me like "why?"
Love your tips. The timing lined up nicely when you got inertia and I got mine
Inertia's grown so much! 😭 So proud!
The Bengals need inertia for wide reciever lol
I suggest using one of the soft frisbees rather than a plastic one. I have found it’s easier on the dogs mouth. I bought 3 recently for $10 on Amazon. Good video.
I struggled a lot of getting my beautiful puppy trained. Learning these tricks from you. Thanks a lot!
"But she's also being with a human being, like me." .... I love how it kinda sounded like he was questioning whether he was human or not. Maybe he's an alien 👽
Maybe a dog whispering alien 🤔
Lol
that beginning video was a win with his buddy.
I can only dream of doing this with my puppy
Its up to you not the pup
Hey Zak, love the series, I have a Border collie 1y 9 months, great companion, tons of energy. Ren loves the Frisbee but sometimes gets bored with it (not to often).You mentioned Inertia sometimes gets bored with the frisbee. Have you tried any of the large herding balls or egg shaped ones. They are made of hard plastic so the dog can not cheat and just pick it up with their teeth, it forces the dog to move the ball with their nose or body. Ren loves them, we have him work the ball back to me. Not only does it relieve a lot of his energy in a short time it also really stimulates his mind, because of the concentration he needs to work the ball/egg back to my location. Maybe just a little suggestion from us, since you help us as dog owners so much.
I’m going to convert to frisbee from my tennis ball thrower. Its valuable to get her to catch vs chase the ball
Love the new intro! Inertia’s such a cutie!!!
Long-time fan I was watching your videos six years ago when I got my GSD Stella. You really turned me from ok to pretty good. After some basic clarification on terms she really became an avid fetcher and it was our daily activity for years. Unfortunately she tore an ACL a couple years ago and we couldn't have it fixed, partially because it seemed unrealistic she wouldn't hurt it again because of some quirks she has.
Now she can't really do anything without hurting it so I'm looking at amputation but it's still outside my budget right now. I hope to be able to have it done early next year. I think it has really hurt her feelings that our relationship has essentially changed so much and she doesn't understand why.
Sorry for the shpeel guess I just needed to get it off my chest.
OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDS THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU WAS ON DOGS 101!!!
Man, Inertia is so cute and smart. His fetch seems very good
You're really good tips for me to train my dog
I would love to have a place like this to play with my dog.
Dog parks here are very rare and full of other dogs. And other places usually are not dog friendly.
You are totally correct in this. If your schedule allows, try do parks at off hours. Another option is Church parking lots are an option. They are usually vacant except for Sunday and at worst they will just tell you not to use the lot for fetch - no police calls etc. Almost always, nobody will say anything.
We heart you.. we are in San Diego and the city is super dog friendly with lots of parks and green areas. Wish you could enjoy the same.
@@theqaac ❤️ I live in São Paulo, Brazil. Near the comercial center, but in a small house. Its a interesting place to live, but not the best place for a dog.
I have a small backyard to play with her off leash. ^^`
@@carolinamassironiberchez2457 that's great! Have great Sunday in São Paulo! Greetings from California.
I love your videos! There are some great tips in this video! Inertia is so cute!🥰 Keep on doing what your doing!!🐕❤️🧡💛
Oh she's such a good girl. Good job, Zak. Definitely following your lead (haaaa geddit?) when I get my puppy.
This is great! I have a pretty big park that’s usually empty and gated so itll be an amazing way to practice this.
Awesome tips, especially loved the warm up part! Thanks so much! :)
Good job Inertia ! I am so lucky my australian sheperd instinctively knew how to play fetch I just had to reinforce the behavior. Love your videos
Without twice daily fetch my B.C. is very high strung. ( Paces, will only settle for a few minutes, always staring at me etc.) With it, she is as close to a perfect dog as possible. You're fortunate you can use a ball park for fetch. Ours are dog prohibited, if they are open at all.
What is your favorite dog frisbee? Some disc golf companies have dog lids in much tougher plastic that can stand up to dog teeth a lot longer. Try the Latitude 64 Bite. 👍🏼
How do you safely and effectively give your dog a diet? How do you maintain the diet while training? And what do you do about or how do you ignore food begging? ..oh those puppy eyes 😍.
You are such a great trainier and the kind of owner I want to for my nexy dog.
Zak I have been watching you fir sometime now.I love every thing I have seen.. Thank you so much for all the hard work you and you wife do. I have a Mini Aussie… And arthritis of the knees and hips so I’m not as agile and jumpy around as you are… My husband is of course when he comes home in the evenings… But during the day I feel so guilty she just sits and stares at me we do little things like I was tired to sit up and touch and talk to me little things like that but I know she’s so much more… Plus my next question was do you have DVDs on training I’m sure you do I’m just not finding them somewhere… Again thank you so much for all the work you both do.. 🙏
This guy is my super hero
Zak is the Jackson Galaxy of the dog world
oh my gosh inertia has grown soo much she knows so many tricks! Thanks again Zak George for making this series i just cant thank you enough. I now have my own puppy called Coco she is a week old. Since she is a Maltese she is a bit harder to train because of her size. Do you have any tips? Thx so much 😊!!!
I have been following this series since inertia was a puppy and its amazing to see how much you have done with her. She is truly a well trained pup!
On long hikes, we always find a nice spot to sit and hang out for a few minutes.
Watch all your videos. Teaching kobe what I've learned from you thanks
Make a dog training experience with a pit bull or a German shepherd
my fur-dad threw a frisbee, I watched - he fetched. point for me.
Yup, my girl can catch anything I throw - she has some lab retriever in her - no emphasis on the "retriever" 😆
I love you so much you help me so much with my new puppy!😍
so..... what is the one thing you do everyday with your dog? i don't think you ever answered that question
Exercise/ fetch
It's as easy as 1:23
Hi zak, wondering what makes your book so special if you talk about so much things in you videos, is it that you get into each topic deeper?
You have helped me with training my golden so much!
Time for me to go back and watch your earlier videos! That looks so fun!
