Both the exercises and the games are very practical so dog owners may use them throughout the day to have a well-trained dog. There are training nuggets throughout, both in the step-by-step instructions ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfKlzfzw0sMZ_RgZNzMeOPu6d4b5i5XWl and the troubleshooting sections that will help enrich the lives of both dogs and their owners!
I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!
Perfect timing. Used to have a pupper that would return 100% if the time. Now she refuses to come near me in the park and instead she runs straight towards me and swipes past my leg!!! It's brutal seeing them go from NEEDING YOU to casually being a rebel.
I’m a first time dog owner and Ive been wondered if dogs go through a teenage stage cause my little daisy is TESTING me!!! 😂😭 it’s good to know it’s a normal stage!
Your uploads literally follow my pups stages lately! Shell be 5months in a few days and oh my is she right in her rebel teens !!!Thanks for this video itll be very helpful im sure (first time dog owner here!!! And so grateful for your videos!!! Theyve helped me a ton!)
Thank you!!! My pup was doing great with bite inhibition and training and within the last week (he just turned 4 months) he has started having off moments and rebels against pretty much everything he has been taught!
This video is perfect. My puppy just turned 6 months and I feel like she’s been slowly changing being more rebellious I thought it could have been a "teeneage stage" but I wasn’t sure that was really a thing. Thank for he information 😊
My 6 month old Aussie just found his voice and now barks at anything that moves. Solution: binging Zak George videos to try to make it through this stage and break the action now. Thanks, Zak!
Zak can you please do more teenage dog videos?! I love this! My lab puppy is 6 months old and I don’t really know what I should be doing with him training wise now! I used you videos all the way up till now! He comes 90% of the time even if he doesn’t sprint he will come. He knows sit, stay, wait, come, load up (in car), lay down, drop it, fetch, shake, high five. All need practice but what new things should I teach him? Also, can you please do a video on teaching your dog to be good around kids? Thank you!!
The being good around kids is a good one I'd like to see see. My son really wants a puppy and I've been watching these videos to get some knowledge before I think about getting one
Yes, full heartedly agree. I am nearing this stage and would love to be prepared. Would love to see all the different ways to help train impulse control.
I bought your book and use it every day. Our puppy is 10 months and huge, we added a training class at our local Petsmart. We are on top of things thanks to your tips and common sense in your book. Thanks Zak.
Daniel and I survived Fergus - our labradoodle who was with us for 12 years till an illness took him from us. To say he was difficult would be an understatement. But I would not remove those years or the struggle with that crazy dog for anything. He was rebellious for 2 years. He thought we were just plain wrong all the time and let us know. Thank you Fergus for the life changing and eye opening journey you gave us.
Ah! I'm relieved to hear this is normal haha. My baby is 4.5 months now and he used to come right to me. He'd lift his lil paws up ready to be picked up. Now he REFUSES to come to me so I can pick him up. And he's also discovered his big boy voice. So much barking 😭 Thank you for the encouragement.
This was perfect! Thank you! I didn’t know this was a thing. We have our first puppy and he’s a prapso shih tzu and he’s definitely in the teenage years! I thought he was digressing and it was my fault but I didn’t know why! This made me feel a lot better. I love your videos
Mine gsd just turned 4 months I think she's early with this phase but it is exactly what she's going thru getting more stubborn by the day Still extremely smart tho. These vedios help alot.
Been through this with several dogs. They are not rebelling or intentionally defying you, they are just learning how to become dogs and exploring the options they never realized they had when they were little puppies - what works, what is fun, what doesn't work, what disapproval by the owner means. Requires lot of consistency, patience, and exercise from owner and they come through it. Important, but often difficult, to not lose your temper althought you do have to express your disappoval of certain behaviors so they can learn the rules.
OMG!!! Thank you sooo much for your training advice, I was so proud of myself and my GSD-X. So obedient , then she turned 4 months and I’ve felt that she just got amnesia, cause everything I taught her seems she consciously forgotten. 🤪Now I know why!😀
I would Love to see a video about how to walk/handle your dog for people in a wheelchair. Preferably a big dog because those are more difficult to handle when in a wheelchair. I am in a wheelchair myself and I want a Japanese Akita so I could always use some tips!
Azumi Wow watch out. Akitas are very dominant. It will be extremely hard to keep him under control if you are in a weelchair unless you have experience with other dogs or if you are a very dominant leader
Yunobo G I've had a lot of dogs in my life and akitas are not as dominant as you might think. I did a lot of research and am around akitas a lot since I also have friends who own them:) I have been wanting an akita for 12 years and know what I'm getting into :)
Yunobo G I am planning to get a Japanese Akira, preferably female. I'll take her everywhere with me when I have her! Socializing a dog well is the most important thing in a dogs life, so that's the first thing I'll do :)
mine is EXTREMELY out of control he just turned 8 months and he literally barks aggressively at everyone and everything when we go on walks. It’s gotten to the point where my uber eats delivery person or fedex leave my package and run as fast as they can before I open the door.
Our Malinois is almost 4 months and hit this teenage phase now. Last night was our biggest mistake. My husband and I forgot we had a new puppy (so used to our older dogs from before RIP) and our puppy got an entire bowl of beef stew!
My pup is just under 4 months and omg is he a maniac!!!! He has such a attitude. He barks back and ignores us. He was sooo good in the crate and at potty training and now he cries in the crate, doesn’t want to listen, has these crazy zoomie fits , did I mention he never listens?😂 We put him in training classes at the end of this month
Sorry, I laughed while reading this, cause I’m soo feeling your pain. My 4 months is just hitting this stage and I was thinking . “What the Fudge”! 🤪before I saw Zacks’ video on teenage puppyhood!❤️
I bought your book!! I so glad you are going over things like this because my husband has a difficult time with our Male doberman,with barking and snapping at him. Drax is more attached to me. I had a difficult time with our female, KYA who is more attached to him. But it's gotten to a point I'm concerned that my husband can't work thought it with Drax that I might have to find him a new home. Do you have any advise on how to train my husband to work with this kind of situation?
Carson Mayberry I mean remove yourself from the room first. Force them to get along. Without you there the dog won't be aggressive. If your there she won't socialize because you will be fulfilling that for her. Don't let the dogs in the bed. All else fails a good slap might work.
i love the part about the solid stay cause Jasper refused to stay and i kept trying to train it and he finally got it exactly 3 weeks before we took the CGC...my trainer and i were even like "well how often does a service dg actually have to be in a stay away from the handler and how important is the CGC really to me and one day i tired it and was like there is no way and i walked to the front door turned around and he was 30 feet from me
Such a pretty girl! I have a 15 month old cattle dog named Heen. His intelligence is shocking sometimes, an incredible breed! I feel training is even more important because of how smart they are. They are almost too smart sometimes haha!
my pup is 6 month right now, he only rebels with zoomies if he's on a normal leash? he follows me around off leash and doesn't wander more than 40ft unless we're at a dog park, he can also be trusted to run home from the bottom of our 600ft drive way, he even turns back every 10ft to check that your following him. my main issue right now is trying to teach stay and leave it, he'll leave a treat but won't listen to leave it with anything else despite my efforts, he also wont stay if your more than 5ft away because he gets up to follow you. he also likes to nip, not hard though, very softly, you can only feel the tips of his teeth.
I rescued my dog a few months ago, and at first she would be excited and jump up on my chain link fence so that the neighbor could pet her (no barking), but now she barks and seems pretty aggressive when she sees a neighbor through the fence.... help.
I have adopted a 10 month old& he’s digressing back to aggression towards my small dog & cats. I’ve had him for 2 months & he’s getting worse not better.
Hey Zak, I have a 12 month old lab/pointer mix. A few months after we got her, she started undergoing surgeries for her hip diplasia. After a few surgeries and a lot of crate restriction to ensure her healing, we let her adjust back to normal life. After her second surgery, so in about April, she started the "teenage phase". Nipping, chewing on shoes and furniture, jumping, aggression, etc. I'm assuming all that time recovering in the crate had her bottle up all her energy and frustration. She was such a sweet girl and I know she has potential, but I have no idea what to do about the biting! She does it playfully, but doesn't seem that she listens when I ask her to stop. It hurts! . I feel like she's getting too old to train, even though she's only a year old. Tips? I would love to have her professionally trained but I can't afford it.
Our Hailey is a Border Collie/American Pit Bull Terrier and has just turned a year old. We have been shocked at how all of a sudden, she just became so stubborn and just down right defiant! lol She was doing great (we didn't rescue her from a shelter until 8 months) my husband works with her constantly. Then one day, she just decided she didn't want to do what we said anymore and just "zooms" around the house barking constantly. Been using your videos, always seems to help, but this is crazy! She will do the things you showed on the video WHEN SHE WANTS TO... any other time, forget it. ....sigh.....We're 55 years old and knew this would be our last dog. Getting to the point that she is 65 pounds, uncontrollable, and concerned about this. Love her to pieces though....
Debbie Senese Maybe you should just get a dog trainer to help you train her. (Edit: you have 2 working line breeds in one dog. She needs an outlet to drain all of her energy mentally and physically. A daily job. Dogs like this need something to do every single day on top of being a good dog otherwise you’ll just have a constant headache on your hands. A toy breed would be more suitable for you guys.)
Thank you. She's been through her basic training course and did well. We have continued with what she learned, however, one day, she just decided she didn't want to listen anymore. We do have a trainer, and he'll be coming on Friday to work with her and us in her own environment. She is not only exercise physically as she does need much of that, but mentally we also keep her stimulated by working with her and with the IQ dog games as well. We will continue to do what we can with her, it's only been since about 3 weeks before she turned a year old. We'll continued to work with her and know it's not only a daily job, it's an all the time job. Thank you again for your kind reply.
Debbie Senese That’s great! I’m glad to hear that you care enough to help her! A lot of people give up on their dogs once they develop problem behaviors. I know she’ll do great.
She had already been adopted from the shelter, then returned, then adopted again, then returned, then my husband adopted her at 8 months old. We knew she needed training, so besides the videos, we took her to a basic training class. Guess she just reached that rebellious age and now we have to work through it! :)
My puppy Enkidu has hit his 4 month mark and refuses to listen on walks. He sits, lays down, and even rolls on his back while on walks. He has a lot of energy but refuses to burn it. He has also started the habit of pulling on cloths and hands while refusing to take interest in his toys. I will have a bone/toy in my hand and he just goes for my body and dodges the toy all together. I'd love to exercise him more but he doesn't really seem to be into play and our old method of walking just turns into me trying to get him to to just listen while he takes a rest.
We do have a bunch of exciting toys. Just got new ones. 5 month old labs. I have a clicker and usually one of them will come. I slacked off with it. I also have a jar with rocks to shack. They a litter mates. They play rough. I am sure they are teaching each other how to stand ground? My black one just recently started to put his foot down more or less. The yellow one, female, athena, she would grab a hold of zeus (black) by collar or neck and bring him down and hold him. Zeus now does it to athena. Zeus a male. They play hard and at times to rough. That is when it's time to chill.. the clicker, whistle and jar won't stop them. I tried garden hose. Well that was fun. A kiddy pool, we'll let's just say that got taken away. They fight. How do we get them to turn that deaf ear into hearing? It gets frustrating which the whole thing probably my fault. I didn't throw ball to them nor take them for walk this afternoon. It's was unavoidable. Just need help with how. Had dogs all my life so it's not new. We lost one in Sept and march. Those 2. We had 14 yrs and 13 yrs. The older one trained the younger one. Everyone says yellow lab wow. Hands full. During the day, I have things to do for a few hours. Hard to do, the digging, we built a box for that so they have their own digging area. They leave that alone. I am planting sticks in it in the morning. They been digging up roots from trees. The trees gone. Stump left which we have to fence off. It's fenced off. Once snow melted, it uncovered mushrooms on the stump. Thanks for help
Do you charge to help people with their dogs? I'm owner training my lab for mobility, but we're at a stand still for public access due to some issues. He's just over a year old and I'm not exactly able to hire a pro trainer as 1, there just aren't many to be found near me, and 2, those who can be found are out of my price range😕
Buddy The Borador I wish I had a dog. I have been wanting one really badly since I was little. Dogs are my favorite animals and I love re-learning on how to train then, things about them , etc.
Can u do a more in-depth video on off leash and stay with a puppy or older dog my dog is 7 and he just eats the treats and when I play train him he doesn’t look at me or listen
Hello!! Me and my family are getting a puppy, during the day when she falls asleep, should we put her in her crate to show her ‘that’s where she sleeps’, or, is it best to let her sleep and only put her in at night?
Hello! We are looking to get a 4 month old rottie/lab mix! I have been binge watching all of your videos in hopes to becoming more prepared in the training aspect of owning our first dog. Question, we live in central new york where going to a park will not be in an option in 2/3 months. How would you suggest getting your dog to listen to you when your options of taking it to different places becomes limited?
My puppy is 2 months old and is loosing his milk teeth. He is quite aggressive but not in a teenage way. He does a lot of biting and chewing and jumping. That’s because he is the equivalent of a hyper 6-9 year old child. I am hoping his teen years will be safe as he finishes his puppy years. I am not wanting them to, but I think when he is 1 year old, my Grandparents are going to neuter him. I hope they don’t. They should know that if their responsible and watching him, he won’t randomly go out to have kids. That’s not normal, despite what most people think. In boy dogs, humping on girls is common, but actually going for it and making puppies isn’t something they just randomly get the hunch to do. It’s manageable, and mostly better for your dog. But always consult your vet to see what the right option is for your furry friend! ♥️🙂
My puppy won’t look at me no matter what I’ve done. He’s so wild and jumps up on me and especially my 8 yr old I don’t know what else to do. If I try to use treats he goes crazy. I really need help or I may give him back to the rescue we adopted him from. This breaks my heart but I’m afraid he might hurt my son. He goes right for his face. I can’t ever leave them alone I don’t trust the dog. Is there a time when a dog just won’t be good with children? I really need help. Zak if you’re reading this please please help.
PLEASE HELP ME ..ive made a lazy mistake i used the playpen methos with potty pads n now shes 3 month i need to teach her to go outside im worried uts too late ?????
So a dog that's about a year and 8 or 9 months old could be going through this phase? I got my dog hero last year and he was about 7 or 8 months. I've been working with him but he's always been rebellious
Can somebody help me? my new dog is a 2 months old pomeranian. He is not eating at all. She just drinks water. How can I get her to eat? She is loosing weight.🙁
Hi there sir jak... I just want to seek some advice about my dog... He's a belgian malinios... 4months old... I just got him 4 days ago and he seem ok at first but after sometime he doesnt want to go out under the chair in our room... Whenever i take him out of the room he just go back after a few seconds...what should i do?...
Great video. I just adopted a baby Australian Cattle today. One of my concerns are the heeling. She's not doing it now but I'm afraid she will start developing that skill. How would I go about this?
Hi Zach I have a stubborn cousin that has a weird dog he's a beagle, you see he has separation Exide. when I leave their house from petting him he freaks out and starts crying it's creeping me. It can you help me
I’m visiting family with my 8 month puppy who is in the process of training right now. I’ve had discussions with my family members about how to treat her when she’s barking, scratching, etc and have told them exercise and positive affirmation etc but they aren’t practiced in how I train. They’ll often give her what she wants while barking or yell at her to be quiet etc. and I’ve told them to ignore but I don’t think they get it and it’s starting to confuse my dog and impend the training. Any tips on what to do
Hi Zak! I have a question for you.. my maltipoo is really hard to feed. He recently just started being fussy with his food. To the point where he wont even eat steamed/boiled chicken with rice! He is a perfectly healthy dog, playful & energetic. But when it comes to eating i cant get him to eat very much. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my boys appetite back?
Bourbon Is a Smithfield Stumpy Tailed Australian Blue Cattle dog. Hence the Stumpy tail she was born with it. They are very loyal. I have a Red one Bourbon's age and she is already growing to be very intelligent
If your neighbors know that their dog keeps escaping then they should either put their dog on a leash or stop being lazy and come outside and play with their dog.
if this is a habbit keep it in your yard and have animal control pick it up so your neighbor learns to keep their dog in his yard if they don't want to keep paying a fee to get it back.
Having a 9 month old papillon and he is very selective in when he listens. Especially other dogs are the bomb! I hope I an teach him to come again cause that is going a bit backwards 🤔🙄🙄😥

lol!
This is too funny!!!🤣

Mine does that to now or she takes her sweet time coming back sniffing every blade of grass when she used to run to me high speed when called.
I’m a first time dog owner and Ive been wondered if dogs go through a teenage stage cause my little daisy is TESTING me!!! 😂😭 it’s good to know it’s a normal stage!

Omg. That Rottie on the thumbnail is giving attitude eyes
Rena Farlow haha, such sass 😂

Rena Farlow my rottie gives me the same look lol he’s in this phase

My puppy has totally started going through this phase, so thank you for this. It came exactly at the right time. XD

Still extremely smart tho.
These vedios help alot.
Been through this with several dogs. They are not rebelling or intentionally defying you, they are just learning how to become dogs and exploring the options they never realized they had when they were little puppies - what works, what is fun, what doesn't work, what disapproval by the owner means. Requires lot of consistency, patience, and exercise from owner and they come through it. Important, but often difficult, to not lose your temper althought you do have to express your disappoval of certain behaviors so they can learn the rules.
OMG!!! Thank you sooo much for your training advice, I was so proud of myself and my GSD-X. So obedient , then she turned 4 months and I’ve felt that she just got amnesia, cause everything I taught her seems she consciously forgotten. 🤪Now I know why!😀
What a beautiful heeler!!
OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING ON THE THUMBNAIL, BLUE HEELERS AND ROTTIES AND CORGIES ITS HEAVEN

Azumi That's good. Never forget socializing when they are super young. If you do that you'll make a great dog (owner)
Yunobo G I am planning to get a Japanese Akira, preferably female. I'll take her everywhere with me when I have her! Socializing a dog well is the most important thing in a dogs life, so that's the first thing I'll do :)
Not to be rude but don't Akita's need a lot of excercise
How do I get Zak to come help with us with our 8 month old 😂😂 we’re out of ideas and he’s out of control lmao
AutumnRearden same girl same
mine is EXTREMELY out of control he just turned 8 months and he literally barks aggressively at everyone and everything when we go on walks. It’s gotten to the point where my uber eats delivery person or fedex leave my package and run as fast as they can before I open the door.
Did this changeeee? I’m here now and going nuts
Your channel is so awesome- the absolute best dog training I've seen!
Just got a baby Bandog and he is doing amazing.. but I wanna be prepared, I love this channel
My puppy is 1 year and is still rebellious 😭 being late on training is catching up to us
aelitagirl123 don’t feel bad! Most dogs aren’t fully mature until about 2 years old! Haha.
My 8 month old ACD mix is rebelling. This video helped out! Thanks,Zak!
Is staring at me and pissing on my bed at the same time when you dont get a treat for peeing outside a teenage phase or?
Our Malinois is almost 4 months and hit this teenage phase now. Last night was our biggest mistake. My husband and I forgot we had a new puppy (so used to our older dogs from before RIP) and our puppy got an entire bowl of beef stew!
Bourbon is adorable!
Bourbon's a teen now? They grow up so fast.

my pup is 6 month right now, he only rebels with zoomies if he's on a normal leash? he follows me around off leash and doesn't wander more than 40ft unless we're at a dog park, he can also be trusted to run home from the bottom of our 600ft drive way, he even turns back every 10ft to check that your following him. my main issue right now is trying to teach stay and leave it, he'll leave a treat but won't listen to leave it with anything else despite my efforts, he also wont stay if your more than 5ft away because he gets up to follow you. he also likes to nip, not hard though, very softly, you can only feel the tips of his teeth.
I rescued my dog a few months ago, and at first she would be excited and jump up on my chain link fence so that the neighbor could pet her (no barking), but now she barks and seems pretty aggressive when she sees a neighbor through the fence.... help.
My golden always made this since a bring her home with 10 weeks! Its gonna be a hell
Your book is great
Can u make one on everything we need to know on preparing for a puppy
Perfect timing
What should I do if my dog doesn't like toys and doesn't like her treats to? I've tried training her and she acts like she doesn't care.
How do I reward my dog when the only thing he'll go after are treats? I can't distract him toys.
Very helpful advice, thank you!
Hi zak, after a year my husky stop responding to treats. I have tried different treats in training...
I have adopted a 10 month old& he’s digressing back to aggression towards my small dog & cats. I’ve had him for 2 months & he’s getting worse not better.
Love the info . Hate the commercial .
These are so helpful!Thank you so much Zak!:)
He is just as adorable as u 💗
Hey Zak, I have a 12 month old lab/pointer mix. A few months after we got her, she started undergoing surgeries for her hip diplasia. After a few surgeries and a lot of crate restriction to ensure her healing, we let her adjust back to normal life. After her second surgery, so in about April, she started the "teenage phase". Nipping, chewing on shoes and furniture, jumping, aggression, etc. I'm assuming all that time recovering in the crate had her bottle up all her energy and frustration. She was such a sweet girl and I know she has potential, but I have no idea what to do about the biting! She does it playfully, but doesn't seem that she listens when I ask her to stop. It hurts! . I feel like she's getting too old to train, even though she's only a year old. Tips? I would love to have her professionally trained but I can't afford it.
Our Hailey is a Border Collie/American Pit Bull Terrier and has just turned a year old. We have been shocked at how all of a sudden, she just became so stubborn and just down right defiant! lol She was doing great (we didn't rescue her from a shelter until 8 months) my husband works with her constantly. Then one day, she just decided she didn't want to do what we said anymore and just "zooms" around the house barking constantly. Been using your videos, always seems to help, but this is crazy! She will do the things you showed on the video WHEN SHE WANTS TO... any other time, forget it. ....sigh.....We're 55 years old and knew this would be our last dog. Getting to the point that she is 65 pounds, uncontrollable, and concerned about this. Love her to pieces though....
Debbie Senese Maybe you should just get a dog trainer to help you train her. (Edit: you have 2 working line breeds in one dog. She needs an outlet to drain all of her energy mentally and physically. A daily job. Dogs like this need something to do every single day on top of being a good dog otherwise you’ll just have a constant headache on your hands. A toy breed would be more suitable for you guys.)
Thank you. She's been through her basic training course and did well. We have continued with what she learned, however, one day, she just decided she didn't want to listen anymore. We do have a trainer, and he'll be coming on Friday to work with her and us in her own environment. She is not only exercise physically as she does need much of that, but mentally we also keep her stimulated by working with her and with the IQ dog games as well. We will continue to do what we can with her, it's only been since about 3 weeks before she turned a year old. We'll continued to work with her and know it's not only a daily job, it's an all the time job. Thank you again for your kind reply.
Debbie Senese That’s great! I’m glad to hear that you care enough to help her! A lot of people give up on their dogs once they develop problem behaviors. I know she’ll do great.
She had already been adopted from the shelter, then returned, then adopted again, then returned, then my husband adopted her at 8 months old. We knew she needed training, so besides the videos, we took her to a basic training class. Guess she just reached that rebellious age and now we have to work through it! :)
Debbie Senese She’ll definitely get better with maturity and daily exercise and training
Beautiful cattle dog!
My BC is just about to turn one! She can be a handful some days
My puppy Enkidu has hit his 4 month mark and refuses to listen on walks. He sits, lays down, and even rolls on his back while on walks. He has a lot of energy but refuses to burn it. He has also started the habit of pulling on cloths and hands while refusing to take interest in his toys. I will have a bone/toy in my hand and he just goes for my body and dodges the toy all together. I'd love to exercise him more but he doesn't really seem to be into play and our old method of walking just turns into me trying to get him to to just listen while he takes a rest.
We do have a bunch of exciting toys. Just got new ones. 5 month old labs. I have a clicker and usually one of them will come. I slacked off with it. I also have a jar with rocks to shack. They a litter mates. They play rough. I am sure they are teaching each other how to stand ground? My black one just recently started to put his foot down more or less. The yellow one, female, athena, she would grab a hold of zeus (black) by collar or neck and bring him down and hold him. Zeus now does it to athena. Zeus a male. They play hard and at times to rough. That is when it's time to chill.. the clicker, whistle and jar won't stop them. I tried garden hose. Well that was fun. A kiddy pool, we'll let's just say that got taken away. They fight. How do we get them to turn that deaf ear into hearing? It gets frustrating which the whole thing probably my fault. I didn't throw ball to them nor take them for walk this afternoon. It's was unavoidable. Just need help with how. Had dogs all my life so it's not new. We lost one in Sept and march. Those 2. We had 14 yrs and 13 yrs. The older one trained the younger one. Everyone says yellow lab wow. Hands full. During the day, I have things to do for a few hours. Hard to do, the digging, we built a box for that so they have their own digging area. They leave that alone. I am planting sticks in it in the morning. They been digging up roots from trees. The trees gone. Stump left which we have to fence off. It's fenced off. Once snow melted, it uncovered mushrooms on the stump. Thanks for help
THANK YOU SO MUCH
My dog is 2 years old just started to act extremely rude. She just started biting and barking again. What can I do?
Do you charge to help people with their dogs? I'm owner training my lab for mobility, but we're at a stand still for public access due to some issues. He's just over a year old and I'm not exactly able to hire a pro trainer as 1, there just aren't many to be found near me, and 2, those who can be found are out of my price range😕
I was just about to binge your channel again!XD
HowlingTv have you just got a dog?
Buddy The Borador I wish I had a dog. I have been wanting one really badly since I was little. Dogs are my favorite animals and I love re-learning on how to train then, things about them , etc.
HowlingTv keep dreaming and your wish will come true 💪
Buddy The Borador Thank you!^^
My grandparents dog follows me and its making training her and practicing things hard.
Can u do a more in-depth video on off leash and stay with a puppy or older dog my dog is 7 and he just eats the treats and when I play train him he doesn’t look at me or listen
Damn! Zak running 4K over here!
How cute is that puppy!!!:) Aww
Which is better a crate or a playpen
Hello!! Me and my family are getting a puppy, during the day when she falls asleep, should we put her in her crate to show her ‘that’s where she sleeps’, or, is it best to let her sleep and only put her in at night?
Hello!
We are looking to get a 4 month old rottie/lab mix! I have been binge watching all of your videos in hopes to becoming more prepared in the training aspect of owning our first dog. Question, we live in central new york where going to a park will not be in an option in 2/3 months. How would you suggest getting your dog to listen to you when your options of taking it to different places becomes limited?
I’m adopting a 6/7 month old puppy soon so I’m trying to figure out the best way to train him at this age (: any tips would be appreciated
Mine started pooping inside!! WTH? How do I fix that if she is fully potty trained?
My puppy is 2 months old and is loosing his milk teeth. He is quite aggressive but not in a teenage way. He does a lot of biting and chewing and jumping. That’s because he is the equivalent of a hyper 6-9 year old child. I am hoping his teen years will be safe as he finishes his puppy years. I am not wanting them to, but I think when he is 1 year old, my Grandparents are going to neuter him. I hope they don’t. They should know that if their responsible and watching him, he won’t randomly go out to have kids. That’s not normal, despite what most people think. In boy dogs, humping on girls is common, but actually going for it and making puppies isn’t something they just randomly get the hunch to do. It’s manageable, and mostly better for your dog. But always consult your vet to see what the right option is for your furry friend! ♥️🙂
Bourbon is SO cute. She is the same age as our Lab, Lola. Going on 4 months old now and she is getting a tad nuttier! But we ❤ her crazy or not.
My puppy won’t look at me no matter what I’ve done. He’s so wild and jumps up on me and especially my 8 yr old I don’t know what else to do. If I try to use treats he goes crazy. I really need help or I may give him back to the rescue we adopted him from. This breaks my heart but I’m afraid he might hurt my son. He goes right for his face. I can’t ever leave them alone I don’t trust the dog. Is there a time when a dog just won’t be good with children? I really need help. Zak if you’re reading this please please help.
Just the video I needed!
PLEASE HELP ME ..ive made a lazy mistake i used the playpen methos with potty pads n now shes 3 month i need to teach her to go outside im worried uts too late ?????
I have a vid on potty training "help my dog won't potty train" youll just have to develop a very strict routine for a little
So a dog that's about a year and 8 or 9 months old could be going through this phase? I got my dog hero last year and he was about 7 or 8 months. I've been working with him but he's always been rebellious
Can somebody help me? my new dog is a 2 months old pomeranian. He is not eating at all. She just drinks water. How can I get her to eat? She is loosing weight.🙁

Great video. I just adopted a baby Australian Cattle today. One of my concerns are the heeling. She's not doing it now but I'm afraid she will start developing that skill. How would I go about this?
Okay so update on this comment. My blue heeler just tried to heel my girlfriend out of no where lol. Please help!

Hi Zach I have a stubborn cousin that has a weird dog he's a beagle, you see he has separation Exide. when I leave their house from petting him he freaks out and starts crying it's creeping me. It can you help me
I’m visiting family with my 8 month puppy who is in the process of training right now. I’ve had discussions with my family members about how to treat her when she’s barking, scratching, etc and have told them exercise and positive affirmation etc but they aren’t practiced in how I train. They’ll often give her what she wants while barking or yell at her to be quiet etc. and I’ve told them to ignore but I don’t think they get it and it’s starting to confuse my dog and impend the training. Any tips on what to do
Hi Zak! I have a question for you.. my maltipoo is really hard to feed. He recently just started being fussy with his food. To the point where he wont even eat steamed/boiled chicken with rice! He is a perfectly healthy dog, playful & energetic. But when it comes to eating i cant get him to eat very much. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my boys appetite back?
Bourbon Is a Smithfield Stumpy Tailed Australian Blue Cattle dog. Hence the Stumpy tail she was born with it. They are very loyal. I have a Red one Bourbon's age and she is already growing to be very intelligent
Zak help: my dogs main currency is treats and I feel like I’m going through them too fast!
Awww
Hey Zack I have a question what do you do if your Neighbors dog is escaping out of the fence
Giselle Medina i need to know too i have a big male great pyrenees
Tell your neighbors they need to keep their dog in their fence.
If your neighbors know that their dog keeps escaping then they should either put their dog on a leash or stop being lazy and come outside and play with their dog.
if this is a habbit keep it in your yard and have animal control pick it up so your neighbor learns to keep their dog in his yard if they don't want to keep paying a fee to get it back.
If it's getting into your backyard give them an invoice for doggy day care to reimburse your time. ^__^
Having a 9 month old papillon and he is very selective in when he listens. Especially other dogs are the bomb! I hope I an teach him to come again cause that is going a bit backwards 🤔🙄🙄😥
