  1. Thank you, to both of you, for sharing ALL the ups & downs of puppy training! It helps those of us at home to see some authentic human moments(Even when you live with a dog trainer🙃) My other half and I find group projects challenging 🤣

  2. Bree is a natural! You can totally see Bree is big time loved up with Veronica 😘

    Maybe you could do a video on when fetch goes wrong?

    My 5 month old chases the ball, picks it up and runs off.. I tried treats to get her to come back but she prefers me running around after her. She stops and waits for me to catch up and then she bolts again.

    I’m an old and unfit 45yr old with a labradoodle so I’m thinking of buying some skates as a last resort

    1. You can figure out it tho I believe in you. Zaks videos helped me trained the best lab ever lol. She passed a few months ago but everyone that seen her could not believe she was a lab because she was so behaved. I now have a 3.5 month old lab and already when I take him places people are like are you sure that’s a lab lol. I train him before taking him places and play some fetch so he’s tired mentally and physically so he’s sleeping or just laying down most of the time and people can’t believe he’s a lab 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 fetch is definitely an important part of a good dog so I hope you can figure it out I believe in you!

    2. When you chase after her, you’re actually reinforcing that behavior (because it’s a fun game to her!!). Try getting several balls and throw one. Throw one and when she runs and gets it, say her name in an upbeat way and show her the second ball. Make it really interesting–wave it around, throw it, bounce it–just so enticing! She will likely come running back to the second (more interesting) ball (the second ball is more interesting for a couple of reasons–first, it’s attached to you, and second, it’s moving and doing fun things). When she gets back to you, throw that ball. You may have to go “get” the first ball yourself, but don’t make that fun for her. Make that boring, ho-hum, yawn. At some point, she’ll likely come running back with the first ball still in her mouth and really praise her for that. Since she’s a labradoodle, she’ll probably pick up retrieving pretty quickly. I (in my “infinite wisdom”) tried to teach one of my Irish Wolfhounds to retrieve a toy. That did not go well. The best I ever got was a look like “If you want it, why the **** did you throw it in the first place? Why should I go get for you? You want, you threw it, go get it yourself”.

    3. @jus.me.tanzks thank you very much for your great advice! I’m going to buy a long lead tomorrow it’s a great idea 👍 and I’m going to try walking in the other direction.
      I’m so sorry to hear about your lab passing must have been heartbreaking. I hope that you find some peace and smile with the happy memories you both made❤️

    4. @Jan Hankins I’ll try multi balls thank you for the advice. I’m also going to get a long lead as I’ve got a big garden and I’m running around more than she is at the mo 😉🤞

  3. I love watching your videos, you are awesome at training dogs! Your videos also remind me of how much I prefer cats and am definitely not a dog person. 🙂

  4. Hi zak again brilliant video I cant wait for Veronica’s breed combination video it will be brilliant to know what she is keep these coming

  5. Bree George’s Dog Training Revolution2! Nicely done Bree, looking good as a trainer. Good luck with the separation anxiety, hope Veronica gets over it soon. My dog has not and we’ve about given up on her. Can’t wait to see Bree train that cutie as Veronica grows up. Inertia has her paws full with that little wiggle worm. Fun to watch.

  6. I’m so excited for the DNA results, I forgot what I guessed last time. I think I guessed border collie/chihuahua mix, she’s adorable and has little socks like a Border Collie

  7. Again… only 4 minutes and I’m obsessed. Other than the training, him being proud of Bri is so cute. She is too a great trainer. Very sweet and patient ☺️

  8. Thank you for sharing the puppy training advice! Could you post more videos on teaching Bree/ other people how to train dogs. Also I would love to see another Inertia update video! Thanks

  9. Bree, you’re doing a GREAT job! I’m very impressed. Not all of us are Zak Georges! It’s much more difficult for those of us who don’t work miracles!! Hang in there and keep at it. And don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We all make mistakes and there are very, very, very few mistakes you can make that will “ruin” your dog. Most of the mistakes you can make that may “ruin” a dog involve the use of positive punishment, and I don’t think you’ll do that, so you’ll be pretty safe to make mistakes without any “lasting” problems. And don’t worry about making mistakes in a public forum. First of all, those of us who have trained dogs before will nod our head and say “yep, I made that mistake, too!!”. Second, you can help others who are training the first dog to avoid making the same mistake. I, for one, will certainly think no less of you or think you’re “inept” or “stupid” if you make a mistake. I have made plenty through the years and, alas, am still making them!! Any trainer that tells you they’ve never made a mistake is either lying or is so ego-maniacal that they can’t see reality. And anyone like me (I’ve trained many dogs but don’t consider myself a “trainer”) certainly would be lying if they said they never made a mistake.

  10. I love your videos. It would be helpful if you let us know “This is our 3rd day with Veronica”. My puppies have always seemed to get over being crated alone by the fourth night. How many weeks have we been watching Veronica now vs. actual number of days she has lived with you?

  11. Thank you so much Zac this is a very interesting exercises and i am so interested the way you train your dog will be buying one of your book and i will start from there..

  12. My 10 month old pup was doing fine with her separation anxiety, and then got worse… Very thankful to see how you’re dealing with Veronica’s! And just as a side note, thank you so much for using your platform to stand up for women’s rights!!

  13. That is a great way to show how owners can follow up Your advices by themselves . It is easy to see how You do training , but sometimes it is hard to do that , too .

  14. Thanks for the video. It seems that those moments of anxiety in the long term would make her less self dependent.
    Have you considered not forcing the cage in hope that she settled, and instead build up the trust in the area. While I’ve seen you do this before, I think it’s clear she’s having a hard time.

  15. Love seeing the ups and the downs. It’s very encouraging to see it’s not always smooth sailing and that that’s okay. Also, all the wild animals you have right outside your door is unimaginable to me!

  16. All four of you are amazing!The last days my respect for you reached new levels. I just comment to support your channel and I am getting everyone I know to subscribe as well!❤️💯
