Who else just got a dog and is thankful for these series? 😅

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzfaq.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

Kona doesn’t know that there are so many people watching her learn 🙂

Me when my puppy actually listens to me for once: 👁 👄 👁

It is SOOO relieving that your content is free to view. You’re going to help me a TON. I’m getting a mini Aussie pup in 2 days and I cannot wait! You’re by far the best dog training KZfaq channel and I’m so glad you don’t charge for your content. Thank you

Lots of people say to just ignore or keep your distance from other objects for your dog to not bark but Zak actually trains his dogs to not bark.

I don’t even have a dog lol . Btw his training techniques work on cats too .I have a cat

Who just loves these dog training videos;

We binge watch your training videos whenever we have some spare time. Never fail to find something valuable.

you have patients of a saint Zak , wish i could do this with my 9 month old

My roommate's friend could really use this video... her dog refuses to stop barking when I enter the room, and she just keeps rewarding the behavior by giving treats to try to placate the dog. I've been trying other methods which are less structured, but it hasn't worked with any consistency. As it isn't my dog I'm trying not to overstep my bounds, so having this video to refer her to is very useful!

I am about to get a new dog and I have watched many videos from you and I decided to write it down in a whole notebook lol

I have been struggling with barking by my 9 month old cockapoo, Molly. As many puppies do, she is constantly finding new things as she learns about her world. Of course, before she checks it out, she has to bark at it. She also barks at the boats, kayaks, and other water craft who pass by our home situated on a creek near Charleston, SC. And when she goes out to potty, she barks to clear the area of the wildlife. As you can tell, I have a problem. I am solving this issue by based on Zack’s training techniques, but not one I have seen Zack use for barking. (Since I haven’t watched ALL of his videos, there may be one similar to this.) When she starts barking, I show her I have treats. She immediately tries to figure out what my command will be-- sitting, lying down, etc. Then she gets frustrated because she doesn’t have the treat. Once she starts barking, I use my “quiet” command and hold my finger to my mouth, as if I was going to say, Shhhh.” When she barks, no treats. But if I can get her to stop barking-even for a few seconds, she gets rewarded. We only started this yesterday and have already seen a tremendous improvement. She is not barking nearly as much as she used to. This is probably because it is similar to learning other tricks or learns to stay or leave it. Eventually she gets bored and goes exploring without barking. If she starts barking, I am right by her side with my treats and quiet command. I hope others may benefit from this as it is effective and so similar to other commands she has learned. And, no, I am not a dog trainer except to train my puppy. Thank you, Zack, for not only teaching me how to train my puppy but also to use the same technique for other issues. 😊❤️🐾

It really helps that each step of training is so thoroughly broken down by Zak 👍

If I hadn’t have found your training videos with Inertia Zak, I’d still be struggling with a reactive anxious stressed 4 year old shih tzu. He was so afraid of the world but using your methods he can now face his fears (mums/dads with prams, young children in groups, big dogs and lots of other things) I am so grateful ❤️

I would love to see a future series about training hunting dogs, whether that be retrievers, pointers or hounds! Love the videos as always

Zak has the best training videos. He seems so genuine and is easy to follow, easy to listen to, nice voice, and lays things out so simply. Oh, and Kona helps. I can't stop looking at her! I'm getting a Goldendoodle in 6 months!

i dont even have a dog yet but im getting one and i want the best for my baby so i watch his videos and like wow hes good

I just got a golden doodle puppy yesterday and I love him. Your a great help as well

Zac I am so happy I found you. You are freaking amazing! Thank you for using this platform to teach existing, new and future dog parents how to be a better pet owner. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Im definitely happy seeing these videos! I was literally crying and getting upset with my spouse, we are both feeling the stress! Sleepless, frustrated. Lee just turned 8 weeks, weve had him 1 week. I taught him how to sut today and it felt so good to start training and see Lee do so well ! Ive seen errors we were doing and tonight hes sleeping in his crate for the first time. My spouse is sleeping next to the crate to help Lee feel at ease in a different part of the room and crate. So proud!!!! 😊 Im so glad I found these videos!

I'm so glad that I found your channel. I have an 11 week old Welsh Corgi puppy and a 2 1/2 year old Jack Russel/Rat Terrier mix that I am starting training with. Your approach seems so much more kind and empathetic than a lot of the trainers I have watched. I just signed up for the 30 Day Pupford Perfect Pup course and we will be starting that in the next few days. I'm excited to get my older dog under control and get my new puppy trained with your help :)

I've been using your videos to train our dog for years. Thanks for all the help! It's great to have a free source of information from someone who really cares about dogs. :)

I’m getting a Bernese border collie mix and I’m hyped because it will give me a purpose in this cruel world

Loving this playlist! Doing a deep dive through all of them since we are thinking of adding a puppy to our family soon! Thank you for the awesome training tips and links to great products!!

Your videos are just amazing Zak! I have a puppy coming home in Feb and have been binge-watching your entire channel over the last few weeks to prepare (also binge-listening to both of your audiobooks). So so helpful, thank you so much for putting this content out there!

Hey Zak, would you ever livestream a training session with your dogs? I think that would be sooo helpful!

I have both books, watch all your videos, and have learned so much! This benefits my almost 3 year old Chiweenie (who came to me at 7months old thinking all training was a trap) and now 8 month old Sheltie. Having a chronic medical condition with constant pain, and just having had major surgery I have to say fetch has been a life saver! Blu Andre Fleury (yes, we are hard core Golden Knights fans in Las Vegas lol) is a high energy dog and I don’t have the same options to exercise him I would if healthy. I made sure his fetch was solid before my spinal/neck surgery three weeks ago, so he always at least has tons of attention, love, training, and fetch for exercise until I can do tugging and some light chasing again. I’d love to see a video on working with dogs who have had bad experiences with things like baths and nail trimmings. My Chiweenie Leilana (queue Star Wars “It’s a trap!!”) is extremely resistant to even the slow steps toward nail trimming, and Blu has the same reaction towards baths. I hate for them to be stressed at all, and these are obviously must haves for them. Thank you for your training approach towards animals-they deserve unconditional love and respect, period. You and Bree (can’t forget her and all she does!) are a great team and I always look forward to the next video!

My puppy is 14 weeks old, and just recently he started demand barking when he sees us eat or when we are about to give him his food. Your videos are invaluable! I'm learning so much.

Zak's training methods have helped us immensely with our two puppies male Aussie Doodle and female Golden Retriever, thanks so much for making them available on KZfaq, we're trying to get through the attention barking right now, the videos have been on the money so far, hoping this one will get us started on where we need to be.

I can’t wait to see how Kona turns out!

Thank you for this I‘m probably overpreparing because I‘m not able to get a dog for at least another year but I just love your videos

Exactly what i want to learn for my new labrador, really thankful for your content.

We are bringing home our first dog, an 8 week mini golden doodle on Tuesday. He looka a lot like Kona. The series started shortly after we decided to get the puppy, so while we've been waiting for the puppy to come home, we've been watching Kona, Zak, Bree, Inertia and Indiana Jones and getting beyond excited. Thanks so much for your detailed and entertaining information, Zak and Bree!

I know this was two years ago but this was a really good video. I'm wowed by it honestly. Best trainer I've ever seen!

i've just binged all of these in a row! thank you!!

Zac your service should be a much watch for all new pet owners before that make a purchase. I really enjoy your insight.

To Zak: you are the best dog trainer on KZfaq and the only videos I watch are probably from you I'm getting a charcoal lab in February so, you gave me a lot of ideas on how to train. 😁😁😁

I just got a maltipoo and this series has really helped me. Thank you!

I have a 9 week old wheaten terrier puppy and your videos have been SO helpful

Just the best zak will bringing a new puppy home on December 19th look forward to your knowledge and teaching acumen and methodology and calm and peaceful practices thank you very appreciative and grateful

You have been a LIFESAVER with my new pup! Thank you.💟

How did you know I needed this? 😂 Thank you!!🙏🏻

Getting my new frenchie pup in a few weeks time. These videos are getting me so excited for raising my first doggo 😁

Thank you Zak for sharing your expertise with all of us! Truly helpful!!

I saw you video for speak and I saw your way of training and train my dog how to sitball by me self thank you

Bringing home a pup in two weeks so this is super helpful! Thanks!

YESSSSS A NEW VIDEO I'll be Getting a German Shepered Puppy in the Summer on my birthday i arealdy have experience in basic training But Want to Learn More so i can Train my Puppy to be a Lovable Family Dog✨💖

New to the channel and really enjoying it. Love the practical applications of the skills in different environments. I also appreciate seeing fails because we always do! We’re not perfect and neither are our dogs. Thanks for the Kikopup recommendation too! 🥰🥰

Im getting a pit, shepherd mix next week. Im so thankful for these videos

This video is a God send because I have been teaching my 5 month old collie "Stay" and I saw I have been doing it wrong teaching distance and long term stay at the same time. I will do what you taught now. He's doing pretty good despite my mistake. Your awesome Zak....thanks for the videos...new subscriber =)))))0

Can you please make a video of how to socialize a puppy well during quarantine/lockdown protocols- this series is honestly so helpful, thank you so much!

Thank u I needed this , just got a new lab and wanted tips for reduce barking 🙏🙏

Just got a Bernese mountain dog that is 8 weeks old. I got some sleep last night but not a lot lol. At least he whined not as much as I thought. Watching this video gives me hope for a smooth puppy stage. Thanks Zack for sharing these tricks

This series is helpful! Thank you!

I watched your videos before getting our GSD puppy. After applying your training our puppy is only 9 weeks old. He knows how to sit, stay, and lie down. We are working on leave it as of currently.People who have met him can’t believe how obedient and well trained he is. Definitely still a work in progress though as we slowly introduce him to new distractions. 😄

You are so kind and patient! Great video!

2 months ago, we got a Golden doodle. Thanks for the tips Zak!

I’d like to see a video about training two or more dogs at a time. I don’t mean to train them without them getting distracted, I just know it will be easier for one dog to learn while watching another dog.

i dont even have a dog, but someday if i have the time and money for one, i definitely want to get one and i wanna be 1000% prepared, and these videos are so, so good for that!

Hey, Zak thanks a lot for all the knowledge. Comes in handy when helping dogs 🐕 in need. Even with me new adopted pal. I was able to show him how to sit. Just struggle with the command when in a leash. He's a big dog so he pulls and runs fast. He was able to get out of his color twice so defenelly trying to show him to stay and to come in command

This is real helpfull thank you zak

Ok, just found you this week. I have a 5 Mos. Old German Shepherd puppy. Certainly different than my old mutt I had for 15 years. I guess I took for granted what my old dog knew and understood. This girl barks, growls at anyone but me, play bites, chews on everything,, and is showing me why GS are called Velcro dogs. Zak, hoping you will help me. I already love her!

I just got a staffy and I am so exhausted that I always end up sleeping when I watch videos of how to train her. 😂 its my fifth time coming back to this video

Looking forward to the videos of Kona graduating from the lure. My pup has mastered Take A Bow and Roll Over with a lure but progress isn't going anywhere with trying to get rid of the lure!

Love watching your videos.😍

Yaaasss!!! just what we need right now!

These are so helpful.

Great video Zak 😍

I don't even have a dog ( allergies) but always look forward to this series every week!! Tried some of the training with the cat, but you can guess how that went lol will be sad when the series ends

This KZfaqr has heaps of patients training a dog 🐶

I love this series!

Best trainer ever🔥🔥

Started this video with my dog sleeping on my lap. The barking puppy in the video woke her up and now I’m being barked at. FML. Now I’ll have to watch another time.

My new lab mix has found his demanding voice so this content was just in time! Plot twist is he’s afraid of being outside so we’re working on making the big cold world a positive place so he can get regular exercise. It’s a process. But these tips always help. Thanks Zak & Kona!

New subscriber! I just got a dog last week🐶

Been waiting for a new barking video!

Nice video. It doesn't hurt that you are training one of the smartest breeds of dogs in the world.

Sir, you are so helpful. Thank you so much!

you're the best trainer

Great video, Zak! Kona is learning so fast. Btw, did you ever mention where u got Inertia? I'm looking to buy a border collie but I wanna get from responsible people.

My mom got my sister a puppy a few weeks ago, my sister did a terrible job taking care of her so now I have to train her. I already trained my other dog but I think this will help for both of them. Lemme just add that the people we got both of our dogs from leave their dogs in cages and let them go to the bathroom and roll around in it. So I have A LOT of training to do 😅

I love all your lessons. They have been very effective with my 12 week old puppy. How do you extend the duration of settle in their place?

You make it looks so easy!

I got a 8 week bulldog girl yesterday 😁 (sky) Day 1 she’s doing really good in learning sit but play bitting needs to be next Day 2 she’s amazing at sit last day I’m focusing on sit Sit ✅ sorry I haven’t been updating this but like in said sit is amazing and leash walking is what I chose to be next she’s not doing bad but not great so that’s me update 👍

I have learn a lot from you zak thanks a lot godbless you

My dog barks when I play with him. This helped me very much, I hope it will improve his barking habits

What a super fast learner!

Getting a puppy on December 20th !! This will be super helpful 😊😊

I dont even have a dog but I love your videos and am just getting prepared for when I do get a dog ☺☺💗 I'll definitely come back though!!!

Thx for the vid

I’m training my 8 month old old puppy (very smart) & my 10 yr old good but untrained dog was interested. With this video I trained him down & stay in 4 minutes. 😮

Thanks so much for this 🙏

I have a golden doodle . I need to train my dog thanks for helping me 👍🐶

watching the video is a great distraction!

Always with the fresh kicks too. Dig it. Nike forever.

OMG, I can't believe how fast Kona learns!

I just brought a puppy. He is very cute but active.We need to train him.

Hey Zak, new to your channel, love the content! This may have already been asked, but how many treats should you or can you give in a training session? I see you do training sessions with food too. I assume you wouldn't want to always do training sessions with their food and just let them eat.
