He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzfaq.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

This is a perfect series showing that training will NOT occur overnight and that it is an ever-continuing cycle.

There isn’t another KZfaq Dog trainer willing to show us how to train a puppy from day one and onwards. So for all the ppl/ trainers throwing shade Zacs way, keep your muzzles on and your yaps shut, until your willing to do the same!!!

I had to stop at around six minutes because when my dogs heard the squeaky toy they bolted awake, leapt over me, tumbled off the bed, got stuck in the doorway like the Three Stooges, and are currently running around the house looking for the squeaky toy.

People in the comment seriously need to chill. Just because you don’t agree on what he is teaching or how he is teaching doesn’t mean that he his methods don’t work, you have to remember that every dog is different. He is teaching his dog not yours. Also just because she is a border collie doesn’t mean that she will react to training the same as other border collies do or what people expect from the breed. He is a professional so he knows what he is doing. I can almost guarantee that the people that are pressed aren’t professional. He might also have different training styles then you. He knows what he wants interia to have mastered by what age and what he wants her to know. He is training inertia not your dog. If you want videos on how to train dogs in general then watch his older videos. This series is showing how he is training inertia not dogs in general. If you don’t agree with how he is training then please go and find someone you find helpful. And don’t leave hate comments. He doesn’t deserve them you’ll are just pressed because you don’t like her training progression. If you wanted to hate then you would hate on something like forcefulness. He is not forceful. He does things right. Hating because you don’t like where she is at with her training is honestly sad.

I love that you show the ups and downs! Nothing is perfect this is great!

Am I the only one admiring this huge house! Zack's doing REALLY well.

"Hello BLAH BLAH BLAH WOAAAHHHH" yes this is how I answer the door as well.

Zak going "trick or treat" in a high pitched voice had my dog tilting his head and me cracking up

LOVE how real this series is and showing us the REAL effort you put in!! makes me and my partner feel less intense and crazy at the hours we are putting in!!

It was so funny when you said that your neighbors must think you're really weird, when you were sitting on the floor with the dog's paws on your shoulders during trick or treat :D

This makes me feel so much better. Training doesn't happen right away, you have to have patience. This is good for me to see because it's easy to lose that patience when you want to take your dog out and around people but you have to give them that time and practice. Thank you!

Zak’s fitbit today: 10,000 steps

Training Inertia to generalise commands is a wonderful idea. It's basic in behavioural therapy. Good to see it applied to dog training!

Everyone pointing out that the video isn’t current needs to chill

I’ve trained dogs for years, and this is a very realistic video showing good technique while giving the viewers a chance to see that perfection is a process and not the result of one training session. Great video and awesome job conveying realistic expectations to the pet owners who are watching!

I literally cried when I saw this. I have a 7 month old coonhound who I adore. He will sit and stay, and walk on a leash and do a ton of tricks when it is just me. But he gets excited and starts putting when ever there is a person or a dog. A neighbor keeps insisting he needs professional training. It was like a breath of fresh air to see a professional having the same issues and showing the process is gradual and not overnight. Thanks for that.

I don‘t even have a dog...why am I watching this?

This type of training is not inefficient and both trainer and pup are high energy. They’ll definitely get there. What’s important is that she is building this communication channel with her trainer instead of being scared into it or stressed into learning. Consistency is key. She got conditioned to Halloween in a single day which is great! She isn’t being pushed. I’m sure it was a rewarding experience for everyone.

I did this with a bloooodhouuund and I walked upstairs stayed up their for five minutes I came down and she had been in the same place. That’s from watching your videos. Thank you???

I just got a new puppy and discovered this series of how you've been training inertia and I can't thank you enough for all of the guidance these videos have given me so far. You've made me one very happy subscriber and hopefully it's my new puppy that benefits from all these videos.

Dog lover's dog training is way too advanced. You are one of the best dog trainers with hearts.

I've been watching this again recently, and just witnessing her from such a small puppy to a big one is amazing. It's cool how fast they grow! I'm using this to get ready for my new st Bernard, and its really helpful!

That was so cool how she worked it out in her mind with you standing up on the balcony! What a smart girl! She’s really catching on to stuff! She seems to be doing fairly well with the people coming to the door, as well! I mean, tricks...while people are at the door?! Wow! She improves all the time. What a good girl! Thanks for another awesome video! God bless and hugs to you, Bree and all of the fur babies!☺️❤️

Me watching Zak jumping around his foyer like a lunatic making me feel totally confident about jumping up and down on my furniture yelling “stay down!” to my pup this week

After watching this, I realized my dog is a crazy monster !!!

Okay I do enjoy watching Zak's videos but I'm just gonna say this. My dog Scout is an assistance dog in training and he's 10 months old now and knows over 40 commands reliably. He was ignoring people and loose leash walking at the age of 4 months old. I put in hours of hard work and training daily to keep his training up to standards. Inertia doesn't even know how to sit on walks unless she has a 10 minute sniff and gets her barking fits out. Like, I get positive reinforcement is great for dogs but they need discipline otherwise they end up like Inertia. I've noticed, Inertia never gets a correction on her harness (harnesses also teach dogs to pull) or a "no". Zak also doesn't make the commands very clear by saying "can you do a ___" "are you able to ____". Dogs understand best with 1 or 2 word commands, not full sentences. Scouts commands are "sit" (and then a good boy or yes) "down" "leave it" etc. Zak needs to just put in the smallest amount of discipline into Inertias training and he would see an instant change in her. I don't mean correcting her for everything she does or yelling at her but I would suggest walking her on a collar instead of harness and do small corrections for when she pulls ahead and walk in the other direction too. Then when you establish a loose leash walk, reward her for not pulling. Every single dog needs discipline and boundaries. Inertia doesn't know what right from wrong is because she doesn't have rules. If she pulls, Zak lets her pull. If she barks, Zak lets her bark. And when Inertia was a puppy, Zak should've curbed these behaviours straight away

My doggie is master of all commands. Until I run out of treats

My 16 week border collie has been SO HARD to potty train. I realize now that the blame is on me for an oblivious lack of consistency on my part but oh my gosh this channel has been a game changer.

I've been following your techniques for years now, I adopted a rescue Patterdale Terrier who had mange and had been abused, it was tough socializing him especially since he is a patterdale terrier but I pick up a lot of tips from your videos and seems like he enjoys watching them too, his name is Dustin, it's been over a year since I got him and he's done so well in his training, I am so proud of you and thank you for helping me with your educating videos, and by the way Inertia looks so well🥰😍💕

Let me just say I have used SO many of Zak’s tips and let me tell you THEY WORK!! It definitely takes looots of patience. I have a dog who I thought was IMPOSSIBLE to train but she has been doing so so so well. Our communication is great. Consistency is key! The only issue I still haven’t found a solution to is jumping on guests (indoors and outdoors). She understands “no jumping” when she jumps on me and will correct herself to a sit. but when others are around she doesn’t care what I say 😂. This is the last major training we need to take on.

Thank you for this video! Completely spazzing out when there is someone at the door is a huge problem for my dog, Taika. I looked the other day for a video like this on your channel, and couldn’t find one, so I was so excited to see one pop up. Can’t wait for the dog park one... that’s going to be one I need, too.

The "Trick or Treeeat!" got me for some reason 😂 I love this channel and you inspire a lot of my training methods. Thank you!!

Your video titles are cracking me up. It’s like reliving every day of my border’s puppyhood 😆. You’re helping me refresh some commands w/her. Cuz even @ 5 yrs old, she needs constant reinforcement of everything she knows. Not cuz she doesn’t remember. Hell, she remembers the names of all her stuffed & hard toys along w/a huge English vocabulary. It’s that sometimes she wants to do what she wants she to do. PERIOD. So it’s helpful to see how you deal w/distractions or stubbornness. Training never really ends!

This year my family decided that we’re going to adopt a dog when summer starts! We’ve never owned a dog before so before the day comes, I want to make sure to do as much research as possible and educate myself on how to properly train and care for a dog. I’m glad I ran into this channel! While these videos won’t be readily helpful for me now, I know for a fact they will in the long run! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with Inertia!

Inertia have gotten so big!

She’s gotten so big I love it! I can’t wait to see how big my pup gets but I know that I’m going to miss him being a puppy. Your videos are amazing and also just order and waiting on my pup box, excited to see what he gets and likes in the box. Thank you for being an amazing trainer makes me want to pursue a career in training and helping animals!

Would anyone else here like to watch something on how to prevent separation anxiety?

Please train my puppy! She doesn’t listen to me 😂 You’re awesome and inertia is adorable ❤

Love your videos and I love your dogs, much love from Iceland🇮🇸

"Today is Halloween" *uploaded 1/19/2020* You have quite the backlog of videos going there

I recently started to take my 4 months old Bull Terrier on walks and he runs up to every person on the street because he wants to play with them, and if they ignore him (almost everyone ignores him) he sits and starts crying

7:19 - 7:45 what a glorious sploot. 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

Great to see..ACTUAL training

I was so excited to order my first pup box until I realised they don’t deliver to Australia! Best dog trainer on the internet, love your videos and have trained my 16 week puppy to 24 commands using your positive enforcement training! Thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH ZAK! MY DOG IS CRAZY WHEN SHE SEES A PERSON.SHE DONT CSRE IF THEIR STEALING A CAR! TYSM!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that runs around my house like a crazy person when teaching my dog to stay

Kills me every time I see sweet Indiana wagging her tail and hoping for a treat, too!

I love dogs so much!! At first dog was like WTF do you want!! Lol. It all came together I love this channel

Thank you fr doing this realistic video - and showing the mistakes and working through them

Great video as always! But my god, Zac's "Treak or treat!" voice was absolutely terrifying! You nearly had *me* barking at my screen!

Love your videos so much! This has really helped. I am bout to get a new puppy soon and your videos are the best!

“Candy in the bag and no one gets hurt” that’s actually really funny

I love your videos! I've been using your videos to help me as a first time dog owner with my now 14 week old puppy. I am interested in seeing videos about how to re enforce good indoor behavior to become more trusting with my puppy. (So far, I've learned a puppy can never be trusted. No matter how cute they are.) I have an issue with my puppy wondering the house. I use a 8ft line to keep her in my sight and prevent accidents. She pulls on the line constantly durring this. she doesnt have accidents with me and generally well behaved. Consistancy with my husband had been tough because he feels the crate and in house line isnt nice. But she almost always backtracks with him in terms of potty training and chewing due to this. He grew up with older dogs that were trained by his parents and generally gets very frustrated when our puppy cant follow basic house rules. ( I've sent him so many of your videos but I dont think hes watched them... tips on training a spouse would be nice). How often should be allow her to wonder ( while watched)? how long is it okay to let her leave her out of the crate( how much crate time is too much)? Should we be letting her explore the house while on a line? Thank you for all your tips for dog training. I would be so lost without your videos.

Put a baby gate on your living room door. When the door goes, guide the pup through to the living room, close the gate & reward. I did this for only days & my pup began to take herself through the open gate and sit/stay behind it when she hears the buzzer💖

Thank you so much for this video！I try to find this kind of video for 1 hour！finely you do this video！Thank you！

This is like watching someone who has never worked with a dog before.

I have never missed an episode and never will. I love how she's got a halloween collar😀❤

Zak is the best dog trainer ever 🤗

Hey Zak, here's a game for you. You need a throwing stick and a tennis-ball. Between throws I like to let my dog get the ball while I move it around. The more eager the dog is to get it, the better. This is my favorite game because it's kind of a dance and Marley can win on her own. In fact; every game ends with her winning, the trick is to keep her from winning as long as possible. She developed tactics, and I had to learn to counter those tactics, and she then learned to anticipate the counters, so it's a very multi-dimensional game. It's also a fantastic work-out. I'd love to see you try it out.

I LOVE Inertia's triangle on her head!

I honestly thought my dog was not trainable, but it was actually me who didn't know how to train her, now we have a trick routine and shes begrudgingly doing roll over, can't wait for leash training.

No shortcuts. I like that. Most owners don’t want to invest the time to get a well behaved dog.

Inertia is so cute and she is getting so big! I love your videos. Also, I thought I'd tell you that at 2:03 ish the reason she came was because you said "here". She may have just messed up but if she comes to "come" and "here" then that might be why. I don't know why I just wanted to tell you! Have a great day!! Also, no book plug? No Pet Flow? Are you alright Zak?

I think Intertia got more treats than the kids! We did the same thing this past halloween. Sat outside and worked on a sit/stay while trick or treaters came up.

I got reccomended to use a Prong collar by a pro trainer. my dog is about 8-9 months and is border collie and husky and doesnt like to listen outside but knows commands very well inside including stay and heel and down. He doesnt listen at all outside and will not eat treats outside no matter how long i acclimate him to the new area and smells. What would you reccomend I do instead of the prong collar.

10:03 This whole scene is hilarious

I’m sending my 10 month old Golden Retriever Jess, good luck Zak

I don't trust TropiClean after having used it a while and realizing my dog's repulsed reaction to it, then reading that alcohol is one of their main ingredients...

I use a prong collar and it’s changed everything. I had one before but I lost it and omg my dog was a complete wreck when we didn’t have jt because there wasn’t good communication. Now we can do stays out of sight, heel, down, stay, and wait to say hi and to not jump. Leave it skill has also been greatly increased since I had my first prong before I lost it.

oml the way he goes out the door then stars saying "BLAW BLAW BLAW" then just straight up screaming

Early? I love this series! I'm really wanting a border collie and this series have really inspired me! 💖 if I do get a dog I'm definitely buying PupBox!

I love your videos so freaking much, they are so realistic, thank you soooo much

The ring doorbell going off in this video sent my dogs into a frenzy

I’d love to see one on training 3 dogs to stay!! I’ve 2 x 21 month old pups and a 9 year old. They can stay if I teach them individually or in the park but in the house they just can’t resist following me!!

My dog Luna has a few really bad behaviours that I need to figure out! 🤯 ...She gets way too excited when people are at the door, walking past our property fence line, and when we're on a walk and see another human/dog. 😩 The common reaction is overexcitement and I get that the behaviour I require from her is a sit, stay, or come but... she just doesn't listen. If I have chicken or something amazing as a reward, and her focus is on the person walking by, my "come" will be ignored because the person walking by is far more appealing. It's all hard work & patience so hopefully we'll get there.

Such a great video! Helped me a lot, thank you so much 🙏🏻

I believe u and u are reasonable. Thanks for using new dog.

A pupbox with the Halloween theme would have been just awesome!

Loved this episode 😊

Watching this at the right time. 1 month t9 Halloween and I wanna make sure my pup can handle it:)

She is getting to be so big! :) She is just so cute.

My border collie is the same as Inertia! Anxious towards new people and dogs. Can’t goto dog park or off leash. Can’t goto busy areas.

Oh so I’m not the only one who says ma’am to my dog

Oh my goodness! This video is so funny! I love it! Great real life examples.

2:07 i like the tounge and ball on that dinosaur head in the background there

May I ask why you're using harness over a regular collar even while teaching her to heel? Just curious, and srry if someone has asked already

SHE'S SO BIG NOW!!!

Idk i rescue led a German shepherd and he screams, barks, pants, and rushes to jump on guess. Treats or human food doesn’t grab his attention. He listens everywhere except when guest comes over. Any help ?

My dog kept freaking out every time she heard the ring doorbell on the video 😂. Guess I have some work to do myself.

12:46 haha I would love to be your neighbor and see Inertia once in a while

So this Video is 4 months old, How is the pup doing today!

I have an issue where my dog does decent with sit and stay, but she will show her frustration with barking/crying when her stay is preventing her from seeing a distraction she is really interested in (another dog, someone at the door etc.). If I try to wait for her to stop barking/crying, she usually gets louder and more intense. If I just keep waiting, she will eventually lose interest and break the sit. I haven't figured out how to correct this. I want to reward the stay but do not want to reward the barking/crying.

I absolutely love your videos because i might be getting a dog! The way I found your KZfaq was tiktok

7:15 -today is Halloween... Uploaded Jan 19, 2020

She’s getting big...!!!!

When you started squeaking the ball, my dog came over with his ears up like "Wazzat???"

I wish pupbox would deliver in europe… haven’t found an equally good service so far…

My problem is that my dog knows what we are asking him and still doesn’t do it. He doesn’t really like to do tricks randomly. The main problems we have with him is he licks the dishes in the dishwasher and we can’t get him to stop even when we give his leave it command. Even if we can physically remove him he always comes back or barks like crazy until he can.

You are all over the place dude.
