    1. Blourange in a video he said “inertia, come” and she didn’t do anything so he said it again, she didn’t listen, so he said “Inertia come” but this time was different, he had a treat, so she came right to him. If you rely on that treat so much to the point you HAVE to have that treat to get your dog to do something, there is something wrong. Thats just my opinion

  1. You all know how much the man loves his shoes! 😂. Not only great training information, but the best entertainment out there❣️. Thanks Zak!

    1. How did you control it? I have a 10 week old piebald and I’ve been putting him in time out for 2-3 minutes. He actually drew blood from my hand. It seems the timeout has been helping. I also got him tons of teething toys and have been trying redirection too

    2. @Joseph Stewart man, I really wish I could tell you. I haven’t solved to yet. I think I need to find that thing that works, and be consistent with it. It’s so hard to train this positively, because she doesn’t stop long enough to treat the good behavior.

    3. @Joseph Stewart you are not alone, anyone here, my arms and hands are destroyed by a 12 weeks old puppy 😢 these advices by Zek are gold, redirection have worked for me

    4. @Joseph Stewart with our puppy we yell ouch super loud and ignore her for 30 seconds or so and it has definitely worked, she doesn’t bite anymore. Although she hasn’t been at the prime teething stage yet!

  2. I followed your tips when we got our German Shepherd girl (especially the redirecting and biting a toy instead of hands etc.), and as a result she still looks for a toy to bite and tug on when I get on the ground. She’s three years old ☺️

  3. I LOST it when he mentioned his shoes! I’ve watched this entire series and have been trying to figure out how many pairs he has.

  4. Zak, you don’t know how thankful I am for this video! It’s ironic, because I recently adopted a puppy almost two weeks ago, and he is exactly like Inertia! I was really frustrated with him constantly biting his leash, shoes, my hands, and pant legs. Luckily, he’s getting a lot better, but this video is so helpful as well! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!
    btw, Inertia grew up so fast 🙂 <3

    1. @ninerempire4life28 LOL it’s not fraudulent because someone’s puppy doesn’t listen on command every time … To expect this from a dog you have just started training is exactly the thing id expect from someone like you though.

    2. I recommend an electric collar. Start with them on a leash and say, “come here” and if they don’t immediately turn around, hit either the low static or a low vibrate and say again. Stop when they turn around. This will tell them that the stimulus will end when they listen to you. You can then use the collar to get their attention whenever you want, up to 1000ft away! Just be slow and make sure they understand the first step. DON’T use it as a punishment, but as a way of halting unwanted behaviour, and gaining their attention. Don’t over do the shock though, enough to get their attention, but no where near high enough to hurt. Sometimes positive reinforcement doesn’t work, so you have to find a way that doesn’t include treats to train. I hope this helps. My great Dane was a runner if she wasn’t on the leash and a puller if she was, but luckily I found a trainer that showed me the strategy above. Best of luck!

    3. @Lucid Starlight they’re seen as cruel because people use it as a punishment. What I’m saying is they’re good tools if they’re NOT used as a punishment. When a kid misbehaves you don’t taser them for it. If you’re thinking about maybe using one you can find plenty of videos that explain how to use them properly. Unfortunately some people do torture their dogs with them😅

  5. “If you’re watching this video I’m guessing you’ve probably got a new puppy.”

    Who else is out there watching these videos because Zak is an awesome trainer and they’ll use his methods IN THE FUTURE if they actually get a dog? 😂

    1. @J L Then don’t watch him. It’s just wrong to use his platform to pimp for other trainers. I think we all know how to do our own research if we want to find other methods. Sheeesh.

    2. ​@Carole Webster :I’m not pimping for anybody. I’m trying to save owners time in finding what works. I’ve looked at about 8 videos and only 1 gave me info that worked.

  6. Anyone get that terrified feeling of when your dog nibbles on your fingers then you see them lift they’re head about to do that head shake when they got a chew toy in they’re mouth, bouta lose a finger lmao

    1. @Dhrubo Shahriar too late now, he bites me a lot now and I have new scratches everyday. He knows how to sit that’s it so ig that helps.

    2. @Cadia Mclaurin haha lets go yes but still need to get to teaching stay. I got him to go down today and just need to end the puppy biting over next couple weeks.

  7. Our 13 week old is deep in the biting phase, but he figured out licking the other day and it’s gotten a little better since then because he knows licks are rewarded

  8. I have a hypothesis why biting your shoes and ankles was her priority. She’s a sheep dog and biting the sheep’s ankles was how to get them to behave. It was instinct. This was very good.

    1. I really think this is true. My dog is part border collie. Won’t bite my ankles anymore but if the kids start running he can’t resist biting their ankles and shoes!
