  1. I like the videos were the dogs aren’t completely competent with the task they’re being asked to do, often the videos make training look really easy but i’m sure all of the dogs have done the task multiple times before the cameras even turned on, showing us a little bit of “misbehaviour” is super encouraging actually, as I can imagine training is not a frustration free process. showing Bruno going after the treats and play biting certainly made me feel more confident for my future puppy.

    1. THat’s what’s so great about Zak’s videos: he does actual training, dealing in real time with untrained dogs’ real reactions to him, and shows how he deals with it. There is little learning if someone just demonstrates what their well-trained dog already knows.

    2. @Jeanmarie Todd – I agree wholeheartedly. TV shows such as Cesar Milan’s, and similar shows in the UK (where I live), propagate an unrealistic idea of dog training that can be harmful. On these shows we see a family with a problem dog, and all of the issues are miraculously solved over night – usually by the trainer being ‘dominant’ over the dog. My mum bought into all this and so, when her puppy didn’t seem to ‘get it’ after a single training session she felt like a failure and thought the dog was either stupid or naughty. Training is a lifelong process, not a single event, and if an owner is unable, or unwilling, to put in the time and effort they might be better off with a cat.

  2. I like how you said that the environment can be the third reward. I was having awful trouble training my senior Miniature Schnauzer to walk on a loose leash because he is extremely scent-oriented and has selective hearing when he’s sniffing.

    After trying everything I could think of, I tried just getting him to walk next to me away from any interesting things like walls and lamposts and when he would walk nicely I’d say “Go sniff” and let him sniff as a reward, then call him back when I wanted him to stop. He walks brilliantly now!

  3. Could you do a training session with a standard poodle puppy or have you ever done it before?
    Also I haven’t even finished the video and I can already tell it will be awesome like always.

  4. Great video. My dog Rocky is now a 14 month old Havanese. Thanks to Zac training him has been easy and rewarding. He’s learned so much it’s unbelievable. Fortunately we found Zac when Rocky was just 9 weeks old. Still working on play biting but he’s SO much better. Thanks Zac!!!

  5. They way you put the food into currency really made me see treats in a different way before I used to think everything was equal to dollar I’m gonna start doing what you do

  6. I’m literally doing a marathon of your channel and taking tones of notes in my book dedicated to dog training, so I can do things correctly with my dog recently adopted 👌🏻🐕💕
