The most impressive part was how Inertia ate the bowl of food at the beginning so slowly! My pup Diego would have inhaled that.

@Ned0uFP nice
Hmm…. its bed time should I watch it or sleep . I will watch for my dog 😉
I literally want to thank you. I’ve trained my labrador quite well from your videos.
Thank you very much!
It’s so funny seeing Zac eating inertia’s food
Important information! Thank you! 🐶📚
I hope in the future you can teach us more about how dogs interact and how to identify problems in time!
Zak is the best. Inertia reminds me so much of my 8 month old puppy (personality and energy wise)
Thank you so much for all the information your channel has. You literally saved my puppy! 🙂
When’s the sneaker collection video. We all wanna see lol.
Yes, let’s see the awesome collection of shoes.
Literally what I think about with every video haha
Yes, please
I have a 10 month old lab, “Joey”. He is at his best behaviour because of Zak’s videos.
There have been times when i think the training is not going anywhere and i’m getting frustrated. But then i look at Zak’s video and he honestly admits that even for him it doesn’t go as planned at times.
So thumbs-up to the best set of dog training videos out there. Watching these gave me the confidence to bring “Joey” into our lives.
Side effect of these training videos – I’m raising a stickler for belly rubs. He seldom barks at strangers, and if they call him by his name, he happily will run towards them wagging his tail to play. Double-facepalm.
Lab owner here. At about 7 months I started looking elsewhere for obedience guidance. The Lab was nowhere close to being the camping-hiking-swimming dog I always wanted. By elsewhere, I mean better dog trainers. As soon as I found them, The Lab was learning faster than I ever expected. By 12 months she was recalling off of running deer, off leash. Zak George aint gonna get you there. ZG is a kindergarten teacher. Here are the professors: Larry Krohn, Marc Goldberg, Michael Ellis, Tyler Muto, Jay Jack, Chad Macklin, the monks of New Skeet, Tom Davis, Ian Grant. Your dog’s life is too short to waste time.

That dog food looks BETTER than most of what I was eating in college 😜
Um zak, why do you keep eating dog food? 🤣
@Jordan ray I mean it looks delicious. Its just chicken with vegetables 😋
“Dogs are so good at exploiting our lack of consistency”
(guilty)
It makes me giggle when Inertia sits by the table and eats like a people 😀 Good girl.
I continually find the parallels between puppy training and child rearing interesting: focusing on the positive, setting them up for success, “catch” them being good to reinforce the behaviors you like, making sure they have a lot of mental and physical exercise as well as a healthy diet, and most important is the loving bond.
Amen! It’s a beautiful thing now that my eyes have been opened to positive reinforcement training! I love it & I love watching my boys make the connections as we progress.
When I say the word YES..to my dog! I feel I say it just like Zak😄
Haha, he’s trained us well. I’m constantly looking for good behaviour so I can be like “yes! yaahhhs!!” and then sometimes I laugh at myself because she’s literally just sitting and watching something without *losing her damn puppy mind.*
Haha yup, same here! Every time my boys hear that YES! They light up 😄 They know they have just done something excellent! Even if it mean just not barking at a squirrel outside.
I am so glad you did this video. Very fundamental basics that new pup/dog parents, especially new ones, need to understand or be reminded of.
I love watching Inertia and Kona! Such beautiful intelligent dogs; and Kona is so sweet. Zak has a great video personality, there is an amazing amount of valuable content; and Bree’s talent as a videographer is the icing on the cake.
Can you do a video that models the ideal routine of someone working full time? For example, showing what you would do in the morning, how you situate them when you leave (toys, treats, etc), what you would do when you come back during lunch, and then again when you return in the evening. Also, if you use a two way camera and see them getting worked up while you’re out, do you try to interact with them through the camera?

Your approach makes so much sense! Thank you for sharing your expertise. We have incorporated your methods with our dogs and have improved our lives together so much. ❤💙💜
