@Mohammed Gunner no one cares

Gotta keep the teaching fun. I never raise my voice when teaching dogs either.It really helps to increase their drive to please you.

No yelling/negative reinforcement is also better for training. i made the mistake of negative reinforcement with my dog jumping on tables, now he does it anyway just when no one is around. with negative reinforcement they learn their action causes a reaction and it isnt one they want, so they learn that if you arent there then there will be no reaction and they can do what they want. if its positive reinforcement though then they will lean more to the behavior that has been rewarded. i usually do an even balance of the two, punish what i dont want, tell em no sternly and maybe a bop on the nose if they destroyed something, and reward every behavior that i do want.

@@alysani0193 that's absolute bs. You obviously weren't doing it right. People are so scared to raise their voices at there dogs like they're afraid they're gonna hurt there feelings. Puppies are little children. Even mothers in the animal kingdom let their pups know when they're out of line. And know it's not abuse. I raise my voice and let my rottie puppy know when she's doing something she knows she shouldn't. And guess what? She listens. I tell her to leave something a lot of the time she does. Of course she's still learning and it takes time. When she starts biting at my hand, I'll give her bottom jaw a little squeeze. She does a little Yelp and backs off. But guess what? She still loves me. In fact we draw closer. The bond grows. She learns what I like and what i don't. People let there dogs walk all over them and in the end the dog becomes I'm charge. Even my puppy which is only 3 months old sticks close to me on walks for the most part and Doesn't pull. Zac doesn't look like he has much control over his puppy. Sorry just stating what I'm seeing

@@spaghetti5038 it isnt "total bs".. for some dogs negative reinforcement works great combine with a bit of positive to balance it out, but for a lot of dogs you need to swap up methods. trust me i dont let my dogs walk all over me, if they chew something up they will know they did something bad. its just for stuff like jumping on tables (at least with one of my dogs) he learned he can only do it when no one is around. so basically my only option now is a buzz (not electric) collar and a live camera. also yes a buzz will work because he is terrified of things that buzz, such as a cellphone.

@@alysani0193 tell that to Zac and maybe he will get somewhere then.

Thank you! That really is the goal with this series. In order to truly show my audience how I raise and train a dog, well... I have to do it this way!

@@zakgeorge thank you for doing what you do. You're helping people realize the work it takes! I'll tell you that you really helped me manage my expectations with my pup. We are going waay slower and I'm finally getting results.

That’s a huge part of the motivation for this series!

It takes time for sure!

My husband is like that! Our dog is 8 months old and we rescued him at almost 4 months and I’ve been working with him a lot, but my husband thinks he should be trained already and kind of makes me feel bad for it. But, I know that it takes time! And Beaux is doing great with his training!

Yeah, in many videos of this series there's always a guy™ in the comments who is super sure he'd have Inertia trained at 5 months much better than Zak just using corrections. Man, talk about self confidence hahaha

What i appreciate most about these videos are the times that Zak points out when he is being lenient and why, and what is reasonable to expect at different ages. I found this super difficult when raising my pup because I assumed I had to be super strict and consistent always and never let him get away with anything, which led to a lot of frustration for the both of us.

Thanks. It helps to remember the lack of life experience our dogs have relative to us!

I am trying to like but it's not letting me

It finally let me like yes!!!

@@norton9216 me is the objective form of "I" and thus works in this context. I am a far sterner grammar nazi than you! 😎

theblackout8080 me too! :D

Me too! 😂

Dayson Feliz dont read comments till finished then

So glad to hear this!

Sch 1,2,3? Trial high or just a title? Which dual purposes? K9 Department Handler or a Designated K9 Department Trainer

@@pebbleinyoshoe532 To reach level 3 the dog must fully learn 1 and 2 levels. So yes to all - 1, 2 and 3. We trialed a few dogs but time was a problem to get as involved as we wanted to. We were more about training police dogs. I owned my own kennel and we dedicated our top dogs and training time to police departments. Most of the department training was designed, directed, toward training the handlers - for them to learn how to handle the K-9 as well as learning commands. Our dogs knew their duties before introduced/sold to police departments. We used German commands. We had German and Dutch shepherds. I miss getting dog bit, lol.. I decoyed as well as trained the dogs.

So you willing and knowingly sent dogs to Departments to protect lives seek out perpetrators and engage in combat with human beings all without correction?

What other services did your dogs provide the thin blue line?

Dual purpose? Drug and protection are the only dual purpose Police K-9s. These questions to test me or you? lmao. Come on man, be still. Drug detection is for drug detection and protection is to not only protect human officers but to send the fur missile after a runner or person hiding to help keep human officers from harm. Dual purpose, detect and protect.

MagCynic My is pretty well trained and knows a lot, but EVERY TIME I try to show someone one of his tricks it’s like he intentionally tried to make me look like a liar 😂😂😂

You just wait. By the time she hits 14 years she is going to be AMAZING.

Brenda dogs are also very self rewarding. Her getting on the counter and getting things is what is creating that behavior.. so allowing her to have a blast and getting all of that off of the counter is just making that behavior worse.

But better

Hi there, you might not remember this video or never see this comment, but how’s your dog now, 6 mounts later?

I can relate 😅

Scarlett Woodbridge yogi is such a cute name 💕
