Whenever I start feeling hopeless or go backwards occasionally with my dog's training, I come here and watch your videos to realize it's just a part of the process. My baby beagle, as old as Inertia, is still learning so much every day and our main focus is on self-control with her BIG nose and outgoing personality. It would be selfish to ask your puppy for a perfect behaviour 24/7 and deny the fact that us owners are also doing mistakes because we're learning about specific timing and anticipation. You make us feel humane and optimistic in training our mates!

Your videos have been such a help when training my new rescue dog Roxy. Although she is more a middle aged woman than a puppy, from what we can gather her previous people had little time for her, didnt do much socialization at all, and didnt do much training past sit and paw. From that starting point under a month ago where she was lunging at other dogs had no clue what down was begging and most other bad habits, we have come to the point where we have been stopped and complimented by neighbors on how well behaved calm and gentle she is. She is introducing herself politley to other dogs, even when they are not calm, her fetch is going well and she is a champ at staying in doorways.

@theothertoni46984 жыл бұрын
Not to mention, socialisation isn't just "hey, here's a dog/person/strange sound". It's a process of careful, gradual exposure to a variety of situations, creatures and anything that stimulates the senses (sounds, smells, tactile objects). Socialisation itself is the way in which the animal learns to relate with these exposures. There is both good and bad socialisation. Good being where every experience is in time with the dog and made to be pleasant and as stress-free as possible and bad, where the dog is "flooded" with stimuli, going too fast too soon and not being in time with your dog's comfort level. By all means, socialise your puppy, but look for ways in which you are able to do this from home. Playing videos of dogs, people talking, celebrations will help while it's on a low volume, and even just letting your dog see people from a distance. I would argue this is the best time to get your dog used to people in the real world as nobody will be interrupting your training with requests to stroke them! This gives you more time to focus on your dog and let him understand that people do not always equate to attention, and can be a neutral stimuli rather than something to excite the dog.
@trooper57444 жыл бұрын
You’re actually lucky to have a puppy now. Dogs will have to get used to people wearing masks. For older dogs, that’s very unusual for them- they are used to seeing our faces. So just practice showing your puppy that the mask is a good thing, and not something to be afraid of or lunge and bite at. When your puppy sees a mask, it will mean something good happens (treat or toy). It will become normal for him or her. Just have fun with your puppy. Time flies!

Congrats! Just a few tips from someone who has had dogs all their life, choose to use this or not, this is what works for me: Exercise you dog at LEAST two hours a day. This means walks, outside time, and even indoor playing counts. Every once in a while, you can do one hour, but that’s ONLY if you don’t have time. If a dog wants to rest while playing, you can try and get him to play again but don’t force him. Keep a magnet/business card to your vet, 24 hr local vet, and poison control center. Trust me, you might need it. Get a tag IMMEDIATELY for your dog. My second dog got away after about a week, we just happened to get a tag earlier that week. This happened due to lack of communication and the squirrel next door. We found him after the next door neighbor called us. Start training your dog at a young age. My second dog was a rescue, so it was tough trying to train him, but it was done. Don’t push your dog while you are training. You probably know some of these things, but I just thought I would share from my experience. Also, if you rescue a dog, that is amazing. Really, thank you. Anyways, any dog you get, from breeder to shelter, is worth it. Dogs are amazing companions. Just treat them ethically, and they can be there for you.

Roha R what you want to do is get the puppy and begin to socialize and train the same day. Create boundaries and begin to luring into positions but dont create a command yet just lure them then reward to build that muscle memory and when they’re older begin to put the commands together. (Oh and socializing means he dog can see another dog or person…they don’t have to meet them because that will create more value in dogs and people then you) walking by is still socializing.

I don't want to just make it climb-proof, and rewarding her when she sits isn't completely stopping the behavior. Some recommendations online are to shake the pen and"scare" her right when she starts, but I don't think that's effective nor our training style. I also don't want to ignore the behavior by just covering the pen. We watched the videos for jumping on people but would love any advice on pen jumping! Thanks :)

@justagirlandherdogs6154 жыл бұрын
@@katczu first before anything I obedience trained him an even off leash trained him with recall and an off leash heel so that I had control. Then I used a training collar to correct him every time he reacted to something then when he didnt react I praised him greatly and fed him very yummy treats. Also I did desensitization at the same time so I would fo very minor and gentle flooding to to that. For example I would sit outside of the pet store and in the beginning he wasnt even allowed to look at another dog so when one would pass and he looked I marked with no and stimed h the m on his working level on the e collar wich is a level the dog can barely feel at all. ONLY go up if you use the working level and they continue to stare hard and only go up VERY LITTLE. If you have to go up more you are doing too much too soon. He then started to become neutral to dogs and people and I worked his obedience in public like down town with people and dogs and cars nearby so it helped him to have a not caring, neutral attitude toward the stimuli even more sense he was around it so much and trains around it. Then when we go tdd to that neutral point I started counter conditioning and some BAT to change his emotional response AGAIN to think they were a good thing! It is important to get your dog to the neutral state of mind before getting them to have a positive association. Because it is hard to get them from one extreme state of mind to another. For example, If you were really afraid of dogs it would be unreasonable for someone to try and get you to think they were good all of a sudden. You would have to be around them at a comfortable distance to realize that "hey, they are not trying to kill me!" Gradually getting more confident and comfortable around them and getting closer and closer to them and thinking they aren't so bad. Then someone paid u a dollar bill every time you saw a dog you would start to think dogs are awesome! Makes sense? Then I started controlled and careful socialization. AVOID DOG PARKS AT ALL COST. ask neighbors with balanced friendly digs if they could help you socialize your dog and start out asking the pet store trainers to pet your dog because they know how to peg a nervous dog and pe thg him af the same time so he knows it's ok and give him treats. Eventually you will have a non issue dog that is generally friendly. But always advocate for your dog. Dont left anyone be disrespectful and invade his personal space and donf let him socialize with rudra digs to avoid set backs in his confidence. It's ok to say no and imagine how annoying it would be to say hi to everyone and every dog. He doesn't have to say hi to everyone everytime

You need to USE the dog. A border collie need a proper job to do. Could be anything, like herding, searching, agility etc. Those dpgs should get a minimal of 3 hours work time each day (when fully grown). Preferably more. A good mix of mental and physical activity is needed. That usually solves all problems people have with border collies/mixes of them.

Exercise. Exercise, exercise. Exercise? Exercise... Exercise Exercise. EXERCISE... (Exercise) Please exercise your dog DAILY for at LEAST one to two hours, I highly recommend two or more, but if you can only do one, make the most of it. Not meaning to be rude, but if you can’t exercise your dog, you shouldn’t have one. That’s not just for you, that counts for everyone. I don’t mean to say you don’t exercise your dog, just if you can’t, don’t get one. (No hate, just don’t want more obese dogs, OR have a dog here with health problems.) Just so you know, Edit: I am no dog trainer. I just have had dogs all my life, ever since I was born, so I know these things. I just wanted everyone to know I am not as advanced as zac, even if you think in the slightest bit. It is his job, and also his life. Mine is only my life. Just wanted to help, because I know these things, but whether you use this or not, this is what works for me.

Idk if this is the right place to ask but I have a few issues that idk how to fix (not normal ones) my dog is extremely smart and know just about everything and I can take her into stores and different places and she remains calm and heals and is always paying attention to me but she won't take treats if we're not at home. One time when we were on a walk someone stopped to give her a treat which she took but she wouldn't eat idk, she won't take random food off the ground either so it's kinda a win-loose situation. Another thing is that she backs up on command but she doesn't walk backwards, she jumps backwards and I can't get it out of her. She's weird lol

Do you ever walk Inertia without food in your hand? Just leave it in the pouch my man. This is not helping owners. It's actually making it harder for owners to understand. Stop relying so heavily on the treats. If you do decide to reward, start separating cues. Verbal marker, reach in pouch, then treat.

Excuses somewhere new she won't listen because of new scents etc. Why can't you teach your dog to listen in a new environment get a good walk then sniff all you want. My 5 month gsd. Is off leash and doesn't care of new environment or new dogs he still listens

When dod you start e collar conditioning? My girl is only 10 weeks now but I'm wondering when w good time to start is. She knows all basic obedience, leash walking skills, and recall from food and clicker wich is more than zak's dog and I might wanna start e collar conditioning in a couple months or so.

@@justagirlandherdogs615 make the first thing you teach is the recall on the e. Collar. Every time they feel the stimulus they know its coming from you. not the bad thing your smelling or getting closer to a dog you get a shock etc. It's coming from me the handler dad/mom. In general the first thing stimulus means come get love from mom/dad. Some teach their dog to recall just by coming close to them i train my dog recall to touch my leg with his shoulder. So once he does I give him love then I say break now that's a jack pot of love. Then repeat it. Make sure you give her love and she stays there on your leg then break then she is able to move. If not she is just gonna touch you and leave on her terms.

Even with lockdown, social distancing and very few distractions Zach George continues to struggle to get Inertia to focus on him and engage with him without food bribes. She continually pants out of anxiety and lack of confidence in her owner. Yet another example of how not to train a dog.

@ianglenn59054 жыл бұрын
Tim Mark, I don’t consider inexperienced dog owners could possibly learn much, if anything, from watching Zach George. Excellent trainers, in my opinion, on KZfaq include Michael Ellis and Kikopup. Whilst they may have a somewhat different approach to training, they both excel at gaining focus and engagement from their canine pupils, achieving outstanding results. I believe if either of them had Inertia in training for a week or two she would gain in confidence and be a different dog. She looks so insecure and bewildered in these videos.

why is your leash attachment under her neck rather than behind on the back area?
@pipedreamzz_34824 жыл бұрын
It's a front-clip harness that basically prevents the dog from pulling ahead. When a dog pulls too far ahead, it'll turn their body to the side rather than a back clip harness that will just create a lot more tension and encourage her to pull more (that's why they use those kind of harnesses for huskies). It's a really good thing to have if you have a pully dog and not want to fight for control!

Hi, Zak! I’ve been following you for many years, and I’m a big fan. However I do have a question for you. We almost never see you deal with an extremely difficult case, like an extremely reactive out of control older dog or an aggressive dog or a dog with really bad genetics. Do you personally believe that in some very difficult cases, positive reinforcement alone cannot be enough? Like 90 to 95% positive reinforcement and 5 to 10% leash correction methods, wouldn’t that be a balanced approach and quicker process? Are there cases where are you feel like you failed? Would you share your failures and what you learned from them? Thanks.

@@Sophie-xs6cw he leash pops inertia in almost every other video. I doubt he will be able to train an aggressive dog he is not considered a trainer in my books he is like an above average dog owner and maybe a mediocre trick trainer. An aggressive high drive dog will be too much and I do think he will do more harm than good trying to train a dog like that.

@Jim Pickens Thanks, Jim. I agree with many of the things you said, but I would love it if you can elaborate - let's say you are working with a dog who literally would NOT offer calm behavior for you to mark for hours and hours, and then when he finally lies down you go to reward him, and just the act of you going towards him to reward him gets him super excited again for hours and hours (I have worked with dogs like this, overly excited by positive reinforcement). What would you do? And what did you do with that shelter dog? (Just generally). Thanks!
@dogsfromthecity4 жыл бұрын
Positive reinforcement is not only about giving food to the dog. Maybe trying to explore what the dog likes in his own privacy and practice at home to use it as a reinforcer. If you have a very reactive dog with high food arousal, then maybe you could check Tom Davis (Upstate Canine Educator). His videos can give better insight on how to handle extreme cases. For dogs that have such high arousal, is not ideal to work with food. There are other steps to work with prior to thinking about using food and build a better relationship.
@mahakhalil14 жыл бұрын
@@dogsfromthecity Yes, I know about Tom, and I will check for videos of food arousal on his channel, but, yeah, that brings me back to my first point because Tom would probably use a slip lead or remote collar or some other form of escape training... Anyway, thanks though!
