Thank you so much for not making your sessions look like magic and sharing your frustration. I was in tears tonight walking my reactive dog. I had thought we made progress and then she went back to the old behaviors . Seeing this made me realize that it can be frustrating but to keep going
At 26:34 u left her door open
@@luvulord2 aww I hope she's getting better now and I hope you're okay
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 kzhead.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.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Zak’s patience with this dog. It can be frustrating to train a reactive dog.
It can be frustrating to train any dog. But it's particularly frustrating and challenging with reactive and/or fearful dogs. We've got an adolescent at home right now, and I am constantly having to remind myself "teenager; she's supposed to push boundaries and "forget" what I've taught her".
@@janhankins911 I'm in the same boat as you 😂🥲.
I'm getting so many tips from him to train my reactive retriever x
@@mtspp5801 look up tom Davis or fenrir canine training
IKR
After working so hard with Moira there's no way I'd be able to say goodbye and find her a new home, she'd be mine.. gorgeous dog.. nice work Zak.
Tell me about it! She’s wonderful!
I love how warm, loving and firm, Zak is. So many trainers seem too rigid and unrelateable
"Celebrate progress, and don't insist on perfection." What a great mindset.
Moira is so smart
First true thing I read. The dog is brilliant. The trainer is a Bafoon. I challenge Zak george to any shelter any place any time and I'll take the worst dog they have. Painful and sad to watch this.
@@justincappuccino5648 Jak of!
@@justincappuccino5648 I'm guessing you support balanced training so do I but insulting and talking shit isn't going to make anything change other then you looking like a idiot instead of talking shit explain what you think he's doing worng the trainer isn't a idiot he just misunderstands certain things and also there is more then one way to train a dog
@KFC Finally someone who agrees!!
@@kfc3930 The problem is not positive reinforcement but Zak himself. He is really a subpar R+ trainer. A lot of reactive dogs will not profit from balanced training but EVERY dog has a response to R+.
Who else doesn’t have a dog but still watches 😌
LMAO, yeah same!!! He is the greatest!
XD same!!! From what I know my family is going to own a dog so I decided to watch dog training vids just incase
@@DrOlfPH Wow, I'm so happy for you! Maybe you can teach him/her tricks. That's aweseome
@@applehead_mjinnocent3826 Yeah, I hope I'll be able to train it properly
Same! We want to get a dog sometime in the next year so I have been watching to get prepared and then practicing on my in-law's dog haha It's harder than he makes it look, but we are both getting better at communicating with one another. Thank you for the great videos!
This series has been life-changing. My dog is a 60 lb Catahoula/pit mix rescue. She's had MAJOR behavior and reactivity issues. My dog even started exhibiting more aggressive behavior after she was introduced to a prong collar. While all training must have consistency, utilizing Zak's methods allowed me to see every minute as a training session because it's practical and makes sense. Training this dog has been harder than raising a kid. The trainer told me not to use a harness but it works so much better for her! The trainer told me NOT to walk or play with her before our sessions so he could always observe her at her worst. That didn't make sense to me. My dog started not wanting any leash or lead. She knew it meant "training time." Now she's been bringing me the leash for last week just begging to go out to explore the world (and doing so in a much more socially acceptable manner). Thanks, Zak.
That trainer sounds like an idiot.
Definitely a idiot trainer who has no right using tools or training dogs I beg you to check out Tom Davis also don't blame the tool Blame the dumb trainer
@@kfc3930 But you blame R+ instead of the trainer ... :-D
Melissa I agree with you. Zak is a good trainer. Some tactics take longer than others. Also, it is ok to employ every tool you need to, as long as you are working with the dog . I had to have my beautiful pit mix euthanized a few weeks ago because she got away from me and attacked a dog. I regularly worked on her reactivity to dogs from the time she was a puppy. I had 2 different trainers, with the second being an expensive ecollar program. The ecollar trainer told me to rely on the ecollar, but I had to run her with a harness, the ecollar and a star mark pinch collar to keep her from pulling me over. I also went early in the morning to avoid seeing any other dogs. It was something that I couldnt train out of her. I am now fostering-to-adopt a Shepherd-Lab mix from the shelter who thankfully is not dog reactive. But she is reactive to men. Zack's tactics are working with her. It is slow and steady.
@@thevintagemom5455 So you were unable to train one dog, killed it, and then just took another? Woooowwww.
These series are so high quality in terms of both filming and editing, i cant believe we get to enjoy this on youtube for free!
It is pathetic if Zac George calls this dog training...
i love it Morias like "ok this is undignified, PUT ME DOWN"
I'd really love to see you work more with smaller dogs (aside from the one-off videos you have.) A lot of people don't bother with training small dogs which is how so many turn into yappy little nightmares. I've got a small puppy now, and I'm trying to train her, but not everything translates well to a smaller package.
Yes, I'd like to see Zak work with a small dog, as well. We now have a small breed dog and I'm finding I've had to adjust my training a lot. I've found it's actually easier (physically) to train a larger dog. Training my itty-bitty, I'm bending, stooping, and sitting on the floor much more often. And my itty-bitty doesn't seem to be "getting" the entire concept of house training and I never had a problem with the big dogs grasping the concept of "go outside to pee/poop".
I concur. I have a 9 month MinPin. He’s a high energetic obedient pup. We’re having troubles with stay and has poor door manners. We’re working on it but it would be nice to see how to better hold a leash,etc. Great job Zak!
One of the best things I've found is to get the little ones out and about and introduce them to other dogs, especially larger dogs so they won't get "small dog syndrome" and end up in trouble later.
@@janhankins911 yes! I enrolled my dog into doggie daycare so he could slowly introduced to larger dogs in a controlled environment. My last minpin definitely had a Napoleon complex. Thankfully, the larger dogs in our neighborhood were very nice.
I totally agree, i feel larger dog breeds learn and grasp ideas muchh faster and smaller dog breeds is just difficult.
Your patience and humaneness is incredible! Your perspective in working with dogs could help parents with their children. I'm not equating children with dogs, but learning how to interpret behaviors, learning how not to take it personal -work with it, breaking things down into steps...so many benefits for parent training....not equating parents with dogs either. But honestly, many parents could use your classes and benefit!
Thanks for emphasizing and promoting least-aversive methods, management vs. punishment, awareness of behavior and body language, and explaining balancing training with play and calm! So important for reactive dogs! That's why I think this is your best series yet! ♥️🐾
Thank you! It’s so rewarding to read comments like this. It’s a journey!
I resoundingly concur!
Pls Anyone reply to me pld
Hi
Totally agree!!
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the kzhead.infoUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
I will be sad to see Moira go, but I’m so happy with the progress you’ve made in such a short time and can’t wait for the next one! Seriously loving the rescue dog series!!
I counted down the minutes until (9:00) when he posts, and I am totally not ashamed.
It's actually reassuring to see you, Zak, having to step in and pick up Moria, to help cooldown the outburst. I had to do that a handful of times with my past dog. He was a handful! Wish I'd found your channel 10 years ago. On the other hand, he enjoyed baths. Sometimes, he thought the bath was for him, when it clearly wasn't! 😂
My dog would jump in the bath me 😂 even when I told her no
I love how you have been taking the time to explain throughout this series why you aren't using choke, prong, or E-collars on Moria. I train dogs with the positive reinforcement training methods, and I love to hear you say why you prefer to use them over force, corrections, or negative consequences. You are truly training the dog when it figures out for itself that it is better to pay attention to you instead of reacting to its surroundings or other living things. I have loved this series. Thank you for taking on such a challenging dog so that people like me can learn how to train them with positive training methods!
My wife likes to watch me struggle then just film it instead 🤣🤣🤣
🤷🏼♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tbh that’s exactly the right dog for me. High maintenance dogs drain you out of all your energy and mess up your house...but they’re my jam, I just ADORE their temper, it reminds me of the wild.
Yep.. I’ve got one 😂
High maintenance... Please give your dogs proper excersise and training. Dont keep them cooped up in the house and yard all day. I 100% understand why dogs get behavior problems... it not because of what breed they are. It's who and how you raise them.
My dog is well trained and lives outdoor. But he still manages to be indipendent, stubborn and extremely playful and I love him for that.
Viking Dogmanship I would never think about leaving my dog outside alone, he needs about 3+ hours of exercise and mental stimulation to be satisfied and he would probably destroy my backyard if i left him alone when he has all that energy.
@Greta Bi - The word is "temperament," not "temper."
🤣Loved you running from Moira carrying the fish. Also love your energy and enthusiasm. You and Bri are the cutest couple. Can't thank you enough for sharing all your experiences and knowledge
Long story short, I was rescuing and rehoming dogs but had a hard time letting them go so now I have four🤪 Two Shepherd mix and two Beagles, and boy is it exhausting lol. They sure could use Zak’s training, he’s great.
“Can I have a sit please, thank you” 😂😂😂 he’s soooo nice and polite with her I love it
very confusing for the dog
It's so nice to see how small steps can add up over time to noticeable progress...and even better how it teaches the dog to listen because they WANT to rather than to avoid negative consequences. Thank you also for showing the treat size, that was helpful.
Absolutely!!
Hey Zak! Can you please do a “day in my life” video? It can show when you feed Moira,, when you exercise her and all that. But if you still have to focus on training videos instead, maybe you can do a day in my life video with your next dog.
Shepards are so vocal...mine talks back all dang day🙄😅😅😅
Yes! I have a Belasky mix and she always talk like she's so frustrated 😅
Mine too! When i say “No” he talks back. My neighbour complained about his barking and asked if i can put a bark collar! So annoying! Mine is a toddler and they never understand.
kathleen Acosta I adopted a 4 month old german shepherd and in the 2 months that I have had had her she has never barked, I wish she would bark 😭 she just whines but never barks :( :(
@@sc-ps1ek I don’t have a Shepard but in the first 3 days my puppy didn’t bark but then he saw an ad with elmo in it in tv cocked his head back and forth and started barking😂😂😂so try seseme street I guess😂😂😂😂😂
My little cat Luna has just watched this whole video, absolutely entranced. I'm not sure if she's more interested in Zac or Moira, but it's been lovely watching her watching you! (I'd add a photo if there was a way to do it on KZhead. I'm going to show her more Zac George videos now, as she's so interested. And no, we don't have a dog but I think Luna would like one!)
Haha!! Hi Luna!! Butt scratches from Bree and Zak 😻🙌
I appreciate the 2 week training mark or goal. By having a shorter deadline, it helped me to understand what is most important or ESSENTIAL for a dog to grasp (and owner to focus on). I love Moira and of course would love to see more of her, but I felt like this series was super beneficial from a learning standpoint!
Im honestly addicted with this series!
I love this series.. And we would love to watch more of your daily life with the dogs around!! Please do a "Day in my life "💙💙
Yes!!!!!
I love your patience with hyperactive dogs like moira. She needs a person who is disciplined, athletic or equally energetic. Pray she gets adopted by such a family. Every animal is like a toddler and an individual human being with individual personality. I personally don't like any harsh treatment or punishments for adults let alone kids and animals. Moira is so lively and your interaction with her was fun to watch. So thank you.
Thank u for not using choke chains
Zak! You are amazing!
I adopted a rescue Shepard mix this January. She is around 8 months and her biggest issues include jumping on other people, mouthing, and getting overexcited. These videos have been fun and encouraging to watch :)
Same here. I have a 5 month old Australian Shepard. I love him so so much! I’ll be off work for the whole summer in a month and I plan on doing a lot of training thru out the summer with him. I found a few training classes to help too and dog parks so I’m super excited to get started. In the meantime these videos are super helpful and I’m making some progress with him. He has issues with jumping on us and nipping at our hands while playing with toys and a few other things I want to work on.
Right there with you! Same with my 9 month Malinois/Doberman.
@@jennb9373 Tip: use a harness and a leash on inside to. step on the leash everytime when about to jump and nipp. Dont use your hands and dont make a big deal out of it. Lots of praise when the dog offers another response like looking at you, sitting or laying down. Remember to build your dogs vocabulary, they learn fast
Thank you so much. I am loving this series!
You can do it we believe in you❤
Zak you are the best!
👍 for the best series I've ever seen on KZhead!!! Great work,Zak,Bree,and Moira 💖 🥰
U are such a patient person Keep up the good work :)
I love seeing such great progress with Moira. She's such a good girl and deserves this extra attention and love ❤
Zak running away from the dead fish cracked me up 🤣🤣
I am impressed with how well she is doing! She has come so far in training!
You give me such hope for my rescue! Thank you for what you do!
I have missed a lot but catching up. Can't wait to see chapter 10. Amazing job as usual 😊
I'm so sad and happy at the same time that she's already adopted... I would love to have her as my big sister!! ❤ you are doing great Zak!! And I believe I'm a perfect pup as I have completed my 30 day perfect pup 💕 thank youu
I so enjoy your videos and try to apply what I have learned with my 10 month old puppy boy named Koda. You guys rock!
so grateful for your honest and patient journey. you're a fantastic teacher - I'm getting another puppy soon and I can't wait to integrate the learning.
Hey Zak, I just wanna say thank you SO much for these videos. I just put my deposit down on my dream puppy after 14 years of dreaming. He’s due Feb 2022 and he’ll be a White German Shepherd! These videos have been a safe haven for me during a transitional period of my life. I really appreciate your positivity and knowledge. I hope after watching your videos for 8 months, over and over again, that I can train my puppy well. Thank you!
Thats great! Check out these two free puppy ebooks as well www.simpawtico-training.com/learning/downloadables/# they are great. All the best to you
Love love love how you showed us the details and full training sessions without many cuts in this video! Very helpful!
SHE IS GORGEOUS!
These are the best dog videos I have ever seen on KZhead!
I love mixing training with play. Play is a great reinforcer for good behavior and it gives dogs a small mental break from the hard work of learning. And I really admire Zak for taking Moira on and training her in two weeks. I have taken on many dogs like Moira, I don't give myself two weeks only! I am, by no means, a professional dog trainer, but I can't imagine having a two-week "deadline" for this type of training.
Your videos always brighten my day, I've been binging your series with Inertia as well. I don't even have a dog yet but your videos are so educational and therapeutic
Thank you so much for doing this with positive reinforcement!
I really love the way you train her. It takes a lot of effort, but you can see the steps forward she makes. Very clever girl. Lots of small steps, make a huge step and therefor difference! I read she got adopted, briljant job Zak👌
That was a great episode - thanks!
I’ve been waiting on a video like this for months! My dog Ringo is reactive over dogs. So so hard! So thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Amazing training. Wow. Thank you.
I would love to see a video about what the follow-up plan is for Moira. Spending significant time on training her is exactly what she needs - but the reality is most families don't have that much time or education to train a dog like Moira. If she stayed with Zak I'm sure she would progress and eventually be able to lower her reactivity. What's a realistic follow-up plan or recommendations to make sure her forever family is able to continue to see progress. This is coming from a Reactive German Shephard dog momma and is meant in kindness. I've seen too many dogs like Moira returned to the shelter because of regression. Just wondering what Zak would be able to do to help make sure that doesn't happen.
I haven’t checked but I hope he went through with this idea! I’m about to start working with my bosses dog who is a golden/poodle mix and I want to be able to create a long term plan for them especially when I’m not around!!
I totally agree!!!
Please tell us how ypu worked with her new home... or what they did. She just doesn't seem ready to generalize to someone not Zak.
I really appreciate these training videos because they show reality. In dog training there will be good days and bad, good minutes and bad, but you can see progress over the long haul and that's key. I have a very reactive minpin who is 10 yrs old. I work with him every day and he's come a long way. He knows lots of tricks and our bond is strong. He still has his break downs, but I'll never give up on him.
these videos are edited
Brilliantly relevant to me and my dog/me issues. Thanks so much
I can’t wait to see her in the future!!
Hey zak, Just watched this newest episode! Moira is looking awesome! You did a great job on her bath training and showed that patience and working through each situation with your dog will always be the most rewarding method and can yield wonderful results! Thank you so much for making these videos and for helping each dog have it's best chance at a wonderful life alongside us humans :)
Great videos very informative. Thanks for this series . Helped a lot with my dog .
She’s a great dog and lucky to have Zak training her. Whoever adopts her will be lucky.
Moira is looking great - she's a beautiful dog. It's good to see what persistence in training can achieve.
Zak, your energy is infective, I wish you were the 'rona of this world. Your videos are informative and you draw pet parents in such a calming way. I always feel like I can get my Sugar to understand what I ask and I can understand where he's at to tailor his training to his speed! Thank you for these vids.
Way to go, Moira!! 🎉🎉
Rlly nice work zak Ur thé best
I know I've already said this, but I absolutelly love the intro, its just sooooo good!!
Mora is so smart. She has done a 360👏I love this series. I love waking up every Sunday and having this notification and I look forward to it all week! Zak you are a great trainer. Up there with Cesar Milan. Keep up the the great work ❤ from Mississippi
So helpful having an energetic and reactive dog myself. I can't wait to take these tips and refine my efforts. Thank you!!
Hi Zac, this series has been fantastic in helping my reactive dog. Indy. He's a small cavachon but wow this is helping so much. I don't know if it's me but it does take a while to find the right episodes. So hopefully I will be able to find it easily enough.
Love this guy. My dog is so much better now after following the basics in Inertias playlist. So, I kept watching the series after
We have a high energy & reactive dog & it's been quite overwhelming & even disheartening at times. Progress has been slow but she's getting some things down pat (woo!). This has honestly been my favourite of all dog training series I've watched. Your patience is amazing & you've done so well
I love watching Zak's vids even though I don't have a dog 🐶
Zaks so amazing person...and very long patience to a dog.. My mochi also hardheaded sometimes.. But she so funny to...
Have I mentioned how much I love this series??!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Zak, Bree and Moira! Patience, play, tricks...a dead fish, what could be better? And, I have learned to try the long leash for my reactive pups to give them space for play and not just training while we are out addressing their reactivity. Also, loving following Moira on Instagram!
She is an absolutely gorgeous girl. So many times dogs are told they not a good fit but how many times do humans ask am I a good fit for the dog? She is one of the most intelligent and alert Germans I've seen so quick to catch on and she bonded with you so fast you can tell she has been craving that guidance and those boundaries. Love your work will continue to watch
Moira and Zak, you two are helping Symmetry (GSD) and myself, thank you!
Zak .G EORGE'S DEFINITELY THE DOG WHISPER & MY FAVORITE GSD TRAINER !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, WATCHING VIDEO YOU UPLOAD! DE
I have learned soooo much from you. Thank you
Your training is amazing, and its working great with my 4 month old lab/Rottweiler. She has a gentle loving personality, but doesn't know I'm around if out in public. So back to training in the backyard for a little while. Moira is such a beautiful dog and she's doing so well. Zak your channel is a godsend. Thank you
Aww, Moira is such a smart cookie.
Zak.. thank you for being you!'😃
Great video! I’ve been there, done that. Nice to know what I need to do next time.
Zak's video's just helped me work with my dog when three ducks flew into my back yard. I knew exactly what to do because of his series of videos. Thanks Zak
I love your videos, I learn so much!
Thank you so much for these videos! I've learned so much and I've actually started being able to make progress on my 11 year old dog's dog reactivity. We're to the point where I can take her out places with us and I know I can get her attention away from the other dogs. ❤️
This is so helpful, thank you!
I want to say thanks to your videos because I know I don't have a perfect dog but I'm still trying to train him.
I believe the pup in your profile pic is your dog and he is perfect!!
@@asherthepug6337 thank you so much for the comment I appreciate it so much! Any ideas on recall?
When you were squeaking the toy at the end my dog came running from the other room looking for his toy 😂
I’m getting a baby bernedoodle on the 29th of May and my parents are going to be training her, Thanks for the videos I can’t wait for my parents to watch them and learn a lot from them.
She's doing so good...... !
Just realized she has an instagram and she got adopted!!! 😭😭😭😭
Cool! what's her IG??!!
@@mtspp5801 moirarosethegsd
At first I was watching this and had no plans on getting a dog, but now I'm adopting a goldendoodle. 😂
Did you know that the guy who invented the labradoodle regrets it? Just an interesting bit of info on those breeds. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/labradoodle-inventor-wally-conron-admits-he-s-done-lot-damage-ahead-us-westminster-kennel-club-dog-show-9115851.html
Funny how that happens. Try out the 30 pupford academy training. It’s a great training program if you are planning to train from home and want free lessons.
@@cd4536 One of The most popular breed in my country. People pay crazy prices as long as there is a poodle in there. They are the naughtiest dogs there is😅And they love eating socks
Viking Dogmanship what country are you from? It’s the same here. The designer dog trend is strong.
@@MinPinSteve thanks for the tip! I do plan on training my puppy at home so I'm glad to hear advice.
Zak, THANK YOU for this video. I just started fostering a 4 month old German shepherd and my house overlooks a dog park. She barks every 15 minutes. I'm now managing her (and myself!) a lot better. This is the video I needed! Thank you!
These videos make me feel so much better about my German Shepherd X Husky. He isn't the best boy out there but like Moira, he's definitely getting there.
this is exactly how I feel with my pup pup, OVERWHELMED! felt so validated when Zak said it. now, on to watch the rest of the video, and hopefully learn some skills because the lunging and barking is negatively effecting my relationship with my puppy! (a rescue that I was told was a collie mix; I'm guessing more like a jack russell mix! super strong prey drive!!!) Thx Zak! 'preciate all these videos!
