Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzhead.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
"see how he's on the leash, so he stays in my area" Next second - drops lead *Dog runs away* 😂 that was cute.
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "train your dog to" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyadison Genia Equalizer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
Me: *trying to teach my dog to look in my eye Dog: *bites my face
🤣🤣🤣
Lol that atullay happened to me 😂😂😂😍😱😱😱😱😱🤣😂🤣
if u look at him in the eyes it means aggression
@@charizzpascual2068 HI, can I ask how can I make my dog look at me without initiating aggression?
@@she5786 just build up trust and show that your the alpha by holding your dogs muzzle for a second or two whenever playing with it
I love that you're working with this foster dog through several videos. It's really wonderful to see his progress.
+Erin James He is wonderful! Thanks!
your 100 percent right
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution how do you know he won't bite you when you hide the chicken with your hand?
T. K Dogs usually know not to bite
Right! I really want to see him work a dog that requires a muzzle. I so badly want to believe his training methods can work for the rough rescues, but I just don't see the evidence.
I love that you use a shelter dog! First because its much more realistic to see actual training when the dog doesnt know many tricks, and even more so because its not your personal dog with that relationship. And second because that dog gets to get out and play and learn, and will be maybe more likely to be adopted.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "dog tips for training" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Janeyton Xonyatt Booster - (just google it )? It is a smashing exclusive product for training your dog without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
Man, I gotta say I love how you always treat the dog you are working with as if he/she was your own. I mean the excitement, happiness ad love always shine through on your videos. I also love how you work with shelter dogs and you don't seem to mind what type of breed. You are one awesome trainer, it would be awesome to meet you and get advice on my girl, would you ever do something on digging and stealing things and destroying them? Because Dusty just thinks everything is hers from plastic bags to pot lids (I don't know how she got it either?!!) Thank though for helping with everything else :) I put most of it to Dusty and she is an all round good girl (mostly of the time)
Charlie Smith love your pic ps bow ties are cool
This was great, I've been looking for "how to train a dog guide" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Diyadison Genia Equalizer - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.
Hey there. So this is so this is a common misconception popularized by traditional dog trainers that rely on tools to make life unpleasant when their dog does not perform as desired. Here's a video that will explain the dominance myth: ==> BestDogTrainingProgram.blogspot.com
Try teaching her ‘leave it’ and ‘take it’
Thank you so much for using Pits/Rescue dogs in your videos. I see a big goofy love bug that will snuggle under the covers but so many see this breed as terrifying. Every positive video helps change the stereo type and stigma of the "Pit" breed :)
No fr I just got a pit from the shelter and I don’t know how to get him to listen but he is such a good boy
Thank you 1000 times . We got a new puppy a week ago. He knows sit , speak, and down because I watch ur videos . He's only 9 weeks old . Working on potty training still . Working on crawl now . We're crushing it . I'm a proud new puppy parent
That is a beautiful dog. Super high energy, which has drawbacks and benefits, and in this case it made it very nice to watch you training him.
hahaha my dog is like that. He's a nightmare but I love him like that a lot of personalty
Pitbulls are such smart and sweet dogs. Mine just died of cancer and she was my baby but I got one of her puppies, the only one that lived out of like nine and I'm watching thisbjust to help me train her the best way I can.
I luv how Jacob is a beautiful pitbull being taught
Jacob, you are ridiculously awesome. i hope you have found a home worthy of your presence by now. thank you Zak!
Polka?
Jacob has such high energy and before you began it looked like he would not be able to stop moving and listen to you, but he did SO good!!
swan183 superman does good. Jacob did well
Zak, I have to say you've changed my approach to dog training drastically. I was lucky enough to stumble across your videos when I adopted my puppy. I was working under people who believed in e-collar and punishment based training. I very quickly changed my mentality and have even switched from Studio Art major to Animal Sciences. I want to make a living training dogs full time. I am a bit ashamed that I ever used such outdated, harsh methods, but I am very grateful that I was educated when I was. My dog has benefitted so much! Thank you!
That is really great to hear!!! Good job
Wonderful

train your dog by using this process
I just did my first 20 min session and it was amazing. I got my dog to look at me for 10 seconds and leave a treat on the floor. It is the most progress we've ever made and I anticipate a 100% better behaved dog if we keep working on it. Thank you!
That dog is hilarious, and the way he gets so excited when you go “yes!” Is so cute!!!
Pit bulls are soooo easily trained!! And he is adorable!!!
the way i genuinely clapped and cheered for him when he succeeded,,, i am jacob's biggest fan
I can’t believe this actually worked with my new puppy! I have tried everything to get her to listen to me and it actually worked thank you so much!
I was laughing the whole time because that boy is so cute and hyper 😂💕
I love it when you choose the pitbull ... who all think he is aggressive im happy to see your videos ...keep the good work :)
I swear Jacob looks such an adorable pooch It makes me to want adopt him so badly TwT
Yesh! Finally a good positive understanding trainer. He actually teaches dogs what to do and not just what not to do. Like you can get the treat if you do right. And not just pull his leash saying you can not get that, I stop you. He's not between the thing the dog wants and the dog. He's the tool the dog is gonna get the treat with. So the dog doesn't try to get the thing when he's not around stopping them.
Wanted to tell you how much Sweet Pea (pictured here) now 6 loves to catch frisbees. I had no idea how to teach her and your video was invaluable. Benefits: She gets lots of exercise and everybody on the block knows us and waves. Thanks you bunches. (I know that's not what this video is about, but it never hurts to say thanks!)
Just one thing: Thank you! You are so helpful and I love the forcefree training methods you use!
+Mica Wilczynski :-)
When you said "are you kidding me?" I thought you were mad at first! then I was like why the heck would he be mad!? he's so patient! nice job ur a good teacher
Zak, your positivity is wonderful to watch. I make sure to incorporate this kind of attitude with my dog.
I love your videos Zak! I'll be getting a lab/Australian shepherd puppy in the next couple of days and can't wait to try your techniques. I'm a disabled vet and there's days where I am not feeling well at all so training the puppy while he's young will be critical before he gets too BIG for me to handle. Oh, I signed up for the puppy food auto ship @ PetFlow today as well! Thank you very much for the training advice and discount!
Love how you shot this video. Great quality!
Oh my gosh!! I’m loving this trainer so much! His energy and passion are so catchy.
The amazing combination of genuine enthusiasm and consistency! Beautiful to watch.
Thank you so much! Literally 10 minutes of these two exercises and I feel like I own a new poodle! I was going to register him for professional training next week, but I actually have hope I can train him! If this works throughout the weekend you will have a new patron!
Your videos are so helpful! I never thought I could travel with my 3 dogs and last month I took them on a roadtrip to Cali and they did great!! Thanks so much!
You're pretty
You have such a natural way with these dogs. Your energy, everything. Keep making these!
Such an energetic and handsome boy!😍 I hope he's found a loving forever home by now.
Yet another amazing video, I love your energy and how you interact with the dogs your training. This is training instruction at its very best thank you for sharing,
Yes he did! My dad adopted him :) I post pictures of him on my Instagram sometimes if you want to see updates! instagram.com/breejustine
I just spent 10 min in the comments to make sure he got a good home! Give him (and your dad) a big thank-you hug from the Crazy Dog Ladies in St. Louis, MO!
I'm at the ground floor of building a business that allows me to work with dogs. So I'm starting with dog sitting in my home or the owner's. The more I work with different breeds, ages and level of good dog behavior has made me realize that I would like to be a dog rehabilitate and people training. There's so many videos I've watched to learn how to train dogs, and everyone of them had their own personal styles. Then I implement the different techniques I've learned to figure out what works for me. Then my dog becomes the experimental guinea pig. Thank you for making this video. I have 2 dogs I'm sitting for for 3 days, and I needed a quick solution for leave it and look at me. Velvet and scarlet were obsessing on my pet bird. They won't leave him alone. Thank you Zak, you keep it simple and make working with difficult dog behaviors "do-able".
Thanks for making these videos Zach, it is a huge help for me to watch them and then work with my new dog so that both our lives are greatly improved during his lifetime.
That is such a beautiful pit
I love that you're using older shelter pit bulls, but you have so many videos on Leave it/Look at me. I don't think you need to make more on topics you've already covered. That being said, I had the biggest smile on my face throughout this episode. I so wish insurance companies would stop breed discrimination, I want this breed to succeed so badly.
You're right that I cover this routinely. But I realized that I didn't have a dedicated video on this concept and I wanted a more detailed version of this lesson on my channel. Really glad you enjoyed the video!
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution zak i realy need help mi father is punching the dog same for the mother and brother mi dog dosent trust anybody now i relly need help he is the mix combo of problems i m almost givin up to this dog cause now s**t is real healp pls s.o.s
ultrajuancraftextreme oliver You may want to give the dog to a family/home that will LOVE the dog! That's ABUSE & not ok!
What a great video!! I adopted 2 American bullies in the past 2 weeks. I just taught one of them "leave it" in less than 5 minutes. He's high energy like the one in your video and picks up commands very quickly. Thank you for the great tips!!
Love your videos! I got away from the training and picking it back up! It's been a while but my little Frenchie picked it right back up! Thank you for all you do! Can't wait to implement this one today! He already has look at me & sit down thanks to you 🙏
What a brilliant dog! I just signed up for PetFlow auto ship last night! We usually spoil our dog and feed raw, but my husband and I are trying to save more money so we can adopt another dog in a year or two. Plus, kibble is easier to store and train with. After a lot of research, I decided to go with Fromm, but they don't sell it anywhere in Cambridge, MA. I'd have to drive at least 30 minutes to a suburb to get it from a retailer. Having it shipped is so much easier! Hope my dog likes it although I'm sure he'll LOVE it since he loves all food.
Follow up how has the food been going for your dog?
i feed my cat and dog both eat Fromm and they love it! they dont touch other food now
Been a min since I seen ur video how is everything zak.
Jacob is such a sweet boy. I really hope he gets adopted and has a forever home real quick.
Love this guy!! Teaching with positive reinforcement. You can see how much he loves and respects animals!! Thank you for this video!
great teacher :-)

Hey Zac. Love your channel! Can i ask what drone you are using for those amazing air footage? Thanks!
Ugh this makes me smile so much. So loving and wholesome.
By far one of the best dog trainers out there! Love your communication teachings and humane training!
He must work for team Rocket 😂
Haha!😂
Question I have a puppy he was 8 weeks and I used your videos to teach him sit, stay,lay down and up. Now at 11 weeks i'm trying to get him to learn leave it and look at me. He does well. The thing is with leave it he seems to connect it with stay so when I drop the treat he waits but it doesn't work in real world. Outside he always grabs rocks to chew and when I say leave it he just picks it up and runs away further to go chew it there. What can I do?
Awesome. I just got a Vizsla-Pit mix on Friday. I started watching your videos to get ready. I took my new dog to the dog park when nobody was there. Of course, my dog was bored. So, we went to a tot lot. Oh yeah. My dog jumped the tennis court nets, went down the little slide, ran through the tunnels, jumped over picnic tables, and more. I think I have a future agility contender here. It was so easy to train him to get him exercised. But, we also live on a boat, so we’re training on board as well. This guy’s confidence on the boat grows by the minute. Look at me and leave it, are coming along as well. It blows my mind that you train us at the same time you train dogs, and it works. Thank you so so much. I am able to have an amazing dog and make it work. He was a shelter dog by the way. We are bonding beautifully.
Omg love! I’m obsessed. I’ve always had dogs but they were always already trained when I adopted them. I have my first puppy who’s now 1year and I had no idea training could be so fun and easy! Thank you!
I don't know why I'm watching this, I don't have a dog!
Got kids in your life? Coworkers to manage/motivate? Positive operant conditioning works on humans too. (And cats, rats, Komodo dragons, crocodiles, parrots, dolphins. Basically any animal with a basic ability to problem-solve can be taught and will learn with these methods. Just maybe don't try to reward the Komodo or crocs with petting and cuddles. ;) )
Then get one!
Because the thumbnail told you to 😂

Oh my god, Jacob is just sooo perfect! Such a beautiful, handsome, playful, intelligent cutiepie!!! I really wish for him to get new owners as perfect as he is
i love your videos because you train random dogs that aren't already completely trained by you, so we can see the process from a new dog! thank you for all of the awesome training videos!
My dog learned “leave it” by himself and i have no idea where he got it from
Kaylee Jevning it can come natural from some dogs. Or you can actually accidentally teach a dog a certain behavior
It was most likely your tone and body language. Some dogs are very receptive of it especially once you bond.
You’re so lucky
lol,he's wearing air force 1's, like a G.
I've been watching your video's for last few days, you give me hope for our beautiful 9 month old Blue Staff ( Dexter )
I just love Jacob. I hope he find's a wonderful home.
yh see pits are not crazy killer dogs. my dad has one and she is lovely
Morgan Rixon that’s not a pit bull. It’s a mixed.
Katie Hollander still a pit
supercarnitas no it’s not. It’s most likely a bully breed mix like most of them.
Katie Hollander ok Katie.
My boyfriend's cousin has a pitbull and she is super super sweet but also energetic. She was adorable the day I met her, licking me all over my face :P
this makes me sad. he got taken out for a day or two and was loved and treated amazingly and then was put right back in
No he wasn't. He's been at the same house in foster care since the day we shot this video. :)
Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution OH mer gosh that's awesome! He deserves someone to love him :3
John Caldwell He will be ready for his furever home sooner than ever!
+Erica Langenbahn Haha, 'fur'ever home.
He will more adoptable too.
What a good boy! I really needed this because my dogs eat everything in the ground!
This video is so much better than the older one on the same subject , one using the clicker, great material Zak , thank you!
“Notice how I have him on a leash so he stays in my area” *dog runs away and he can’t grab the leash in time* 😂😂
Me: *tries to teach my dog this* My dog: *leaves and starts bitting her chew toys* Me: ExUsE MeH LiSenT My dog: leaves the room
These videos are all so helpful! Brings tears to my eyes because the motivation to communicate and help the dogs feel safe and proud is so genuine😭 My new shelter doggie just wants to please but I need to learn how to communicate more clearly and with consistency. Thank you!
"Jacob the pitbull" is a great looking dog. He is also, possibly, the happiest looking dog of all time. I hope he found a good owner and lived a good life.
Love your vids Zak!!!! But dude PETFLOWs prices are higher then petsmart.... Kinda lame...
spencerrichard Even with the 20% code whats the deal mane!!!!
can we see how to train the dog to find it
Aww that doggo is a sweetheart
Just got a puppy that is the most hyper animal I have ever had. Training this one has been a real challenge. This video aimed at energetic dogs was perfect and I saw results right away. So great. Thank you!
Skip to 2:46 to avoid the ads! FFS 🙄
You lost me with the marketing push.
This is fantastic. I followed this with my pup because she never focused on me, rather the things that surrounded her. Such wonderful videos, definitely subscribing and following! 👍🏻
THANK YOU for demonstrating watch me and leave it alone with this shelter pit bull!!! a much-maligned and misunderstood breed!!!!
Dude thank you so much. You helped me get my German Shepherd puppy (suppper energetic) get her focus back on me. She’s super smart but is easily distracted and this helped out so much!
This video was a great help for us, we have a 11 week old blue heeler that learned this combo in a matter of a few minutes. there are some great tips on your videos and we greatly appreciate you sharing this knowledge. thanks
I've watched several of your videos and am absolutely amazed. I'm going to start training my boy tonight with the tools you've shown in the videos I've watched so far. Thank you for uploading all these awesome training videos, and for free!
sweet pup, thank you for this videos featuring shelter doggies ! so many wonderful dogs and cats in shelters in need of loving homes. I adopted two cats and two pitties from shelters in the last 7 years and they are the loving, sweet animals. My pitties are extremely mellow, a short half hour walk per day and they sleep the rest of the day and night...super mellow...all kinds of dogs @ shelters, high energy, mellow energy, dog friendly, cat friendly, all are individuals
Loved this video! Hope Jacob and his friends at the shelter will find a forever home soon.
We support you Zak
Trying to train my pit bull pup is like trying to train An army of squirrels. But I think with the help of watching your videos (with time and patience) will help tremendously. 😊
You're just unbelievable! I really want to work with my challenging dog on my own, and that is possible thanks to your amazing videos. Thank you!
You are such an amazing trainer, Zak! Thank You!
I absolutely love Jacob. He is such a fun and happy dog. Xx
My little corgi is 2 months old and I have to say that your videos are so interesting and fun to watch.
This is so, so helpful. Thank you for featuring a high energy shelter dog - I just adopted a 2 year old mutt from a shelter a month ago and it has been such a challenge. It took us about that full month for him to realize sit and down were a better way to get treats than jumping and trying to snatch treats from our hands! This video gives me hope that we can continue to make progress with him even though he didn't learn this stuff as a puppy... and has really helped me remember that "leaving it" for two seconds is JUST as much a learning victory as "leaving it" for an hour.
Man I needed to watch this again. I adopted my dog July 28, and she is crazy wild and very food motivated as well as toy motivated. I can't thank you enough for helping me. I couldn't find this video and remember how the training went. She jumps like crazy after "Sit" to get the chicken. I need to go back to "Look At Me" and get that down solid. Sit and down are done.
You made this shelter dog happy. Thumbs up
Thanks so much for this video using an untrained dog! I've watched so many videos and it's obvious that the dogs already had training and knew the commands. They are helpful of course but seeing a dog acting like my new untrained 28 lb. 7ish month old rescue puppy and how to work with that level of excitement is very very helpful! Thanks for giving this shelter boy your time and attention as well.
i love these videos!! i just fostered two lovely (and boisterous) rescue pups straight from the wild, 8 weeks-ish old, and hoping i can do some basic training with them to make adoption easier. seeing you do this with a bigger and more energetic shelter doggo makes me think i can do it too!
I love this training! Thanks for sharing it. As soon as I get some treats I will be training him!
I want to go and give every single one of your videos a thumbs up. Zak, you do such an amazing job!
Just adopted a shelter dog and needed a way to explain to the family what to do with him so we were all on the same page and your video made that easy for me.
This was awesome! I just adopted a 1 year old black lab and he is so good, but I've been having trouble getting him to look at me. We got this down in about 15 minutes. Thank you!
