I know a lot of people say negative things about your channel. But you helped train my first service dog due to your videos. Always been a fan and always will be
Zak, you probably know that some in your community do not agree with your techniques. You all have your own way to train dogs and may or may not work for your dog. But I dont see why they say this about you. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been watching several of you YouTube’s and have loved your approach. This is the first video that has confused me. I can see where distraction is useful in certain situations. But it seems to me that the dog should be able to learn that it should never jump on someone without permission and to always stay off the counter. Do you have a video that teaches this?

Why's Bark not delivering to Europe, so not fair, lol, I'm getting envious of those fun toys and treats every time I watch a video here on this channel!
Zak is fraud this is all wrong he hasn’t clue good making video look good so he can advertise dog companies all he teaches dog gets a attention when it being naughty
This is the worse cane Corso owner ever. Has no idea what he is actually doing. Wrong things to do with that breed. Instead of preventing this guy just lets a Corso really do his thing. By the way this dog is not months old. He is lying and this dog is over a year. I wonder why he doesn’t show the real time like Tom Davis’ Boeboel
these are not solutions to the problems. These are ways to stop the dogs from doing what you don't want them to do once they already started. But you can't teach them to never start doing these things you don't want them to do to begin with through positive training. Otherwise this is what the video would be about.
Use two words or sounds. I use NO! For dangerous or destructive behavior and that comes with a punishment, positive or negative. I use uh uh for you did it wrong try again. That comes with a positive reinforcement after the dog successfully performs the command. (In Zak's case request ). There are dogs in shelters whose owners followed Zak's training advice guaranteed.
If you’re not careful either—and use this technique of redirection every time—your dog may learn that jumping up on the counter and barking equals being called away which then equals a reward. All you’re doing is chaining behaviors, not actually resolving what you don’t want. You CAN use techniques that are actually preventative, such as seeing a trigger and rewarding when they stay neutral, but all this video’s approach is doing is teaching the dog to do something bad to get something good. You’ll never really eliminate the behavior and will have to be doing this their entire life because it WILL be easier to call them away, but the bad will persist.
How is no “not very specific” when it is a marker just as yes and release markers are? It captures a moment in time so that your dog much more clearly understands exactly what you don’t want so that you can show what you do want.
No means you can do anything except for the behaviour you’re doing. It is easy to teach without “fear.” Also lol at thinking that you would push a dog off for humping
Chewing shoe not a behaviour its been a puppy. His just experimenting plus theeting. Give them leather old shoe to chew. Remember patience is the key..calm assertive energy ❤😂❤
I have a 7 month old Boulab. When i'm in the room he's fine. But if I have to go to the toilet or whatever, he runs to the dining table and steals the cat food. Or to the salon table and steals the decoration. How can I stop this behaviour?
I also trained my Labrador using positive reinforcement to follow my finger. It created a virtual bungee chord, and the strong bond meant it was her top priority – if I caught her doing something undesirable I would wave my finger pointing downwards and say ‘ah ah’ and then direct her though my legs round each leg and then roll over, and then had a game of tug. She totally forgot about what she was doing before. I never had to say no. She loved the alternative activity. She tried doing that naughty behaviour again a week later, all I needed then was a quick flick of my finger and she ran away from the naughty food grab. Then, a week later she saw the food, looked at it then picked up a tug toy to mess around with by herself. Dogs are smarter than a lot of aversive trainers give them credit for, just read them properly, communicate properly and motivate them properly. Dont just switch them off. Zak shows a lot of healthy communication with the dogs to make them want to do what he would like them to. It does work, but you have to persevere and emotionally bond with the dog
My Labrador used to chew everything. Then I put her dinner in a kong instead of a bowl. The chewing stopped. She used to jump on me, I folded my arms and looked upwards. It stopped in days. Never happened again. Body language and alternative activities are fantastic tools. Talking to your dog calmly is the icing on the cake.
I have a honest question…how does the dog learns that its NOT okey to chew on shoes just because he interrupted the action? If the shoes are back on the ground, he will chew on them again until you interrumpt them. And sure, you can move the shoes out of reach but what is one supposed to do if the dog choose to chew on furniture? Will you always have to interrumpt? Again, just a honest question
I have a GS had her since birth and she is so skittish. She is scared of everything and everyone. Inside she will run and hide, usually behind me. Outside, she will bark and go crazy almost in an aggressive manor, until she can’t see the person any longer. However, if the person was to try and approach her she will take off running while barking. I was told this is a form of anxiety and I honestly have no clue why she is like this. We have her mother and she is nothing like that. How do I fix this or help her? She is 2 years old.
I'm also trying to figure out how to keep my Cane pup from being willful with my older 5# chihuahua… She bumps her just enough to make her growl but not enough to hurt. She has gotten better at leaving her a lone but still tries to bug her.
I have a 3 month old Cane Corso.. I love this idea instead of constant no’s.. They are willful for sure but I'm going to take this approach instead. Also what type of harness is your dog wearing?
Yea he's still gonna go back to scatching the door and trying to get the dog to get food off the counter. There are the commands you can do besides no and it works after one time with my dog. A consistent voice command works well. Calling him just takes away his attention as you have other food. You are just teaching him to come NOT stop trying to get the bad behavior to stop.
I love most of what Zak puts out, but this was nonsense. Dogs need to know the word "no" and everything I saw in this video didn't teach that puppy to "not do" the things Zak didn't want him to do, it taught him that if he does those things he will get Zak's attention and get a reward for doing them. Sorry folks, positive training is good for many things, but not everything. Just like your kids, they need to learn the word no and they need to learn the punishment that comes if they ignore you. If you raise your kids, or your pets, that there is no punishment in life then they will walk all over you…..your dogs will do the same thing eventually.
JUST SAY NO – the world we live in has consequences regardless of our intentions. Denying "NO" but implementing "YES" is CRAZY TOWN – LOVE can't exist without HATE….YES can't exist without NO….

Every dog should know the word NO. Don't be rediculous.

Are you feeding Raw? Like the freeze dried toppers? I use instinct for my pup and he loves it! Especially the freeze dried pieces.
Zak the worst dog trainer!!! It's about money not dogs for him!!!

I love his videos for research on training for a puppy I am getting in two weeks

Dogs brain= chew the shoe- get called off- get a reward= the dumbest advise on the planet

this guy is a joke, pro trainer here, he's a clown, zak boy george needs to take some lessons
You are reinforcing the very thing you don't want……. Seriously
Omg no no no

our puppy will tear up any toy no matter how tough they are made!!

That's a first for me. First time I've seen a "professional" dog trainer's personal dog hump his or her leg. 😂

This video is satire right?
😂😂😂😂😂

My dog still smokes on my top range!

The negative comments are baffling. My puppy and I appreciate Zak’s methods so very much.

Bro gives Steve from "Blue's Clues" vibes
info from a neighbor of zak
"zak has been seen abusing dogs sexually, it's disgusting and scary, such a person has public speaking time"
Surprisingly, this is working with my strong-willed, 6 month old pup who is testing my patience daily. Thanks Zack!
I have a GS had her since birth and she is so skittish. She is scared of everything and everyone. Inside she will run and hide, usually behind me.

So we’re never going to see this dog as an adult?
2:10 what if you can’t get your dogs attention?
I love your videos! They have helped so much with our husky pup. As a side note, I need to know where you got that carpet.
