Hi zak and Bree, just wanted to say how much I appreciate this video and how you work so hard to show people how to train our dogs without aversive tools. You guys rock!!
How old is she here?
I love when he makes videos with inertia! Sheโs doing so well. โค๏ธ
Where did you get the indoor agility course?
How do I train my dog to roll over? Sheโs a 12 week old labradoodle, and already knows sit, stay, shake (with the appropriate hands!), speak, lay down, up to get on the couch, and pretty good at bell training for potty. But she REFUSES to roll over. We tried doing your treat trick to get her to turn her head and body into a roll, but she wonโt. She tried assisting the roll, but she wonโt do it most times even assisted. She keeps putting an elbow out to prevent the roll. We can assist roll her about twice before she starts shaking like sheโs scared, so we just avoid it now.
Hey Zak my dog Lexi run after cars not slot but will tug on lead any suggestions
Sheโs come sooo far!! Such a good girl!!
What length would you recommend for a longer lead? 3m, 5m, 10m, more?
I donโt use a shock collar. I use an e collar, heโs trained to recall when it vibrates so if he canโt hear me because of wind or any other reason he can at least feel the command. In my opinion itโs very irresponsible to let your dog off leash if you donโt have a way to effectively communicate (aka, not your voice unless you can whistle very loudly, because thatโs not enough pressure to bring them back into focus). with them from a distance (whistle, e collar, ect.) Long lines are fine, if youโre not using something to communicate to your dog from a distance please do not let your dog off leash, I canโt tell you how many dogs have come rushing up to my dog. I was playing frisbee with him once and another dog came running up to him with the owner screaming their head off in the background, I called him then tapped the collar and he came running back before anything bad could happen.
My dog does pretty well listening to me other than when other dogs are involved, once he sees another dog heโs gone!
My dog Chloe escaped the dog park and I had to run after her and Iโm glad you made this video and I will try to train her off leash.
He hasnโt been off leash yet weโre kinda scared lol but training with a long lead
Start young. Let them go off leash in a forest/controlled park. Hide behind a tree when theyโre more interested in something else. Let them panic for a second when they donโt see you anymore. Call them and let them find you. Rinse and repeat. This trains a pattern where they lose you when they stop paying attention to you and that pays off later.
Also train them on-leash to always check in with you before meeting a (reasonably) new dog, and only approach slowly and respectfully. This comes in handy when going off-leash, but mostly itโs proper etiquette. I screwed that up big time and I paid the price for years.
Use freedom as a reward (in controlled environments) that they earn when they behave well, and lose when they misbehave. Donโt make the freedom a novelty that they only get access to after 6 months or so. Thatโs when you get situations where you let them off leash for the first time and they run away because theyโre finally free. Make it an integral part of their life that they can earn and lose based on behavior (and of course only in safe environments).
But what when theyโre hunting something and donโt listen? Then you havenโt trained the leave it command enough in high stress environments. I recommend working up to throwing a ball or frisbee and making them leave it mid-throw. Fetch is excellent for this type of training, because it taps into the prey-drive.
Maybe itโs an idea to make a video about other breeds than working breeds tho..
The past training videoโs included a Poodle mix and a Border Collie, both breeds with a high will to please.
I own a Dalmatian puppy and a Leonberger and they are so much more harder to train and keep engaged with me while training. So itโs not always fun to look at breeds that do tricks in 4 training sessions.
What type of frisbee do you use with your dogs? My 7 month Jack Russell pup is really getting into it and trying out different frisbee types. Thanks
Lettts gooo another dog training vid
Ok, I wonโt use a shock collar, Iโll use my e-collar instead. (Two very different things!) ๐
Anyone have tips for a puppy that doesnโt really like puppy brand food? He likes the adult version of the dog food I give my other dogs but hates his made for puppies.
My 5 month Aussie keeps biting my furniture, and my hands. itโs been about 3 months of constant redirecting and rewarding soft biting. Iโll admit he has gotten better but when he gets super excited, he goes back to biting, which is again calmly rejected with a soft โno soundโ anyone have tips for this?
Spooked from the line poor dog
The lack of engagement is startling
Thank you so Much Zac and Inertia this is exactly the video I have been searching for ๐๐๐ค๐ถ
Thank you for your great videos! This video is a perfect example of how you can train dogs without aversive tools or methods. Even breeds that are less obedient and people oriented than Inertia (border collie) can be taught using respect, love and their favorite currency!
What harness is Inertia wearing? Iโm looking for a good one for my pup! Also, my dog isnโt big on playing with toys. Iโve tried so many things like flirt poles, different textures and types, animating the toy, playing with it by myselfโฆIโm not sure what to do!
Lmao use a e-collar not a shock collar
I have two dogs. One is a Golden Retriever, so sheโs perfectly fine off leash. The other is A Goldendoodle, and weโre still working on off leash with him. Heโs not one to just run away, itโs just he gets too distracted by other dogs and people. Thatโs one of my favorite Golden (and retrievers in general) qualities, (That poodle part is giving us the challenge though lol) that they are just naturally very good off leash! You donโt have to put a whole lot off effort into training them to be like that.
I have never seen a dog sitting in a chair and eating at the table like a human.
I have two senior, small dog rescues Iโve had for about 8 weeks. They were both kept in a floor-less cage outdoors with little human interaction. They are indoor dogs now. In the beginning, they would run away when I went to hook a leash to their halters. They also were not house trained. Now, they are almost house trained. Because of them being confined together in a tiny cage, lying in their own waste, I invested in a play yard to put around their crate and the crate door stays open,that way, they donโt feel so confined when I must confine them. I have learned SO much watching Zac Georgeโs videos. They now are learning come and sit and I am using a long training leash for the younger of the two. The older one (who may be the mother to the younger) is a bit slower to catch on but often mimics the younger who is also alpha of the two dogs. This is my first time owning a bonded pair (always one dog at a time before) and first time have rescues from a cruelty/neglect case. I love them dearly.
So Konan series is done?
This is fine and dandy but what about hunters?
My Mini Australian Shepherd, Sieben, would not do well off-leash. Although Iโm teaching him some tricks and we are in an advanced class in my dog training class.
That this guy has no ability to understand you can put a phone pager in the collar and itโs not a shock collar but heโs too clueless heโs a goof
Inertia has become such a wonderful bright young lady ๐ฅฐ
Nothing wrong with e-collars if you know how to use them. You should get a good trainer to teach you if you want to use them, otherwise donโt.
What breed is inertia?
Btw she is so cute
I have a question?
I am researching for a puppy and noticed some people donโt teach stay, is this better or not because it teaches the dog fewer words?
My dog wonโt stop being a dog when I want him to be a dinosaur.
Where is Kona? ๐
My dog is a German Shepherd that is almost 9 months old nowโฆ he still pulls when on the leash and he sprints at any moving object he sees on our walksโฆ Iโve watched your videos on how to stop that behavior but itโs not working:(
Hey zack, so Iโve been walking with my neighbors dog maya for about 1 year now because I cant have my own and over the last month Iโve really started training her stuff like heel and shes getting really consistent with it. I have huge woods behind me and I always let her run free and she really listens and comes as soon as I call her.. But that stops the second she sees a rabbit because she just runs off and chases it and I always know that she comes back even if it takes a few minutes but its really annoying knowing that theres always this big distraction that prevents her from listenening 100% of the time. Any tips on training her to come even when she sees a rabbit or other dog? Anyways I really love your videos! They have really tought me a lot so thank you!
I donโt even have a dog, I just love to watch Inertia ๐
First with 2.6k otherss
the information I always miss in such videos is what do to when the dog does not come when called? should I just like pull her towards me with the leash ๐ or just ignore and continue walking, but this could give a wrong impression to a dog..
Iโm not one to say โtraining a Border Collie is easyโ because they have their challenges too, but training a Border Collie to recall when you have a Frisbee in your hand is a lot easier than training a beagle to recall when a rabbit is running in the other direction. I like the phrase โtrain the dog in front of youโ. My beagle/husky mix has awesome recall and we did all the long line stuff first for a year. Introduced a collar because at the end of the day, her prey drive is still ridiculously high and I need to have a backup. When she sees me pull it out, she gets so excited (as opposed to when she sees the harness, she hides under the table). Certainly indicates what is more abrasive to her. Last weekend she was 15 feet ahead of me when 8 deer ran across the path. She held her stay perfectly. So maybe I could just not use it and say she doesnโt need it, but I guess the question would be, how could you ever ever train every scenario you might encounter ?( because dogs certainly know and act different when that huge long line is attached). How could one ever feel 100% confident that a dog bred to chase small animals will choose you over genetics every single time.
Also I still reward heavily for every recall. I see so many people do what you do and recall and then ask for sits, downs, tricks, etc and then reward. Shouldnโt the value be placed on the recall
itself?
This is my dream! My dog is almost 11 months old. A super smart dog. It is our first dog. When I look back I defenitly should change my training. Now I have a lot of problems with walking on a long leash or off leash..I donโt now what to do or how to fix it๐
Does anyone know where we can get a long lead like the one he used in the video cos the max I can find is 15m
While I do think this method of off leash training is helpful and works, I think using an electric collar is also very beneficial. To be clear ecollars are not the same a shock collars. I only support high quality ecollars, the mini educator and dogtra are great options. Obviously no one should be using these tools all willy billy. I always recommend doing copious amount of research before using them. But when used correctly they are amazing tools that provide consistent communication to your dog. My dog is about the same age as inertia and she can be completely off leash in most environments with her ecollar. She gets very excited when I put it on her because she knows it actually gives her more freedom. Balanced training is the way to go for me
Subtle flex having Inertia perform about 30 tricks in 30 seconds
I have only started watching Iโm trying to train my dog I think this will work Iโm going to start to tomorrow! :3
I learned about the long leads from your videos and theyโve been so helpful! Disclaimer for those of us living in areas where it rains A LOT; Your hands will get SO DIRTY because of your soaking wet lead dragging through the the wet grass and mud XD
You talk an awful lot .
Itโs not for your dog but rather your VIEWERS .
I definitely got a long lead because of your videos with Inertia and my puppy is loving the safe freedom
Somehow , if you were to work cattle or horses โฆ you would fail .
Sorry but you are talking to mostly Tree huggers โฆ.
Please correct me if Iโm wrong .
BTW , This is from the โKohler Method of Dog Training โ .
Nothing that you do is new โฆ
This is another video i needโฆmy family keeps talking about using skock collars on my poor 6 month old puppy.
Yesss! ๐ I canโt wait to use these tips! My GSD is ready for this challenge nowโฆ or should I say โIโ am lol ๐ letโs face it, dogs are truly training us in the process of training them as well.
Itโs funny how I feel proud for Inertia even tho she isnโt mine lol
UwU
Lol ima doggydogdogdog UwU
getting a puppy in the summer, thanks to the dog training experience i am totally prepared
Sheโs so beautiful โบ๏ธ
My dog is deaf do you think I should always keep him on a leash or try to teach him off leash with a vibrating collar?
Hewo!
Can u do a video of the dog training of acting to other neighbors or other people that they are not barking at them and showing some love to other people and not getting angry at themโฆโฆ.plz
Iโd love to see her do this with other leashed dogs walking around or wild animals going by.
Hi zak george, I love all ur episode ๐. Your channel is awesome ๐ ๐
Great Video! i donโt even have a dog but still watched lol
My dog is alright when off leash. The minute she encounters another dog thereโs no stopping her to say hi. It is annoying but more annoying when the owner of the other dog wants to get into a heated exchange. Itโs a dog park what can you expect buddy
To the 10% of people reading thisโฆ
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
There are MUCH better methods to teaching a recall without an e collar then thisโฆ mind you his dog is well over a year old and still isnโt off leashes trained!! In my program I have a two week off leash training program!!!
Well, she isnโt much of a new dog anymore!
My dog is great off leash and on
Why a long lead instead of those retractable leashes?
I need to know did you guys keep working on โtell me a secretโ with Inertia?! Can we have an update if so?! Itโs totally adorable
So, I Adopted my husky/terrier mix, weโve had her for almost a year now. We do not trust her in unfenced areas. We have an extendable leash, that goes out to 16 feet, and when I say โcomeโ or โthis wayโ she comes, and I donโt have to tug on the leash, she just comes. She does really well in a controlled environment. She also picks and chooses when she listens. So her behavior is unpredictable. Do you have tips for her stubborn behavior?
Zakโs call to Inertia at 4:40 was probably the most stressed Iโve heard Zak. Like, โoh no, is she going to take off?!โ
Refreshing to hear training advice without mentioning the โshock collarโ! Thank you!
Iโve had my 9 year old Jackchi rescue for about 6 months and off the lead she is great when outside our local area/park. She comes, stays etc when out and about, but the couple of times Iโve taken her off lead locally, sheโs away! Iโm not sure why or what is different to herโฆ Havenโt done it since! She may be a bit old to learn new tricks (๐) but sheโs worth it!
Yeah your right you shouldnโt use a shock collar never do that use an e-Collar instead their great ๐
Do you have a video on how to teach your dog not to be territorial when people come over to the house?
I love your videos and almost solely relied on them when training my puppy since August 2020! However, off-leash I have been doing a different way, as a puppy (young age) they follow you instinctively and I live near the forest so we went for walks in the forest and I made sure that I changed directions very often and quickly even going among the trees to get my puppy in the habit of having to FOCUS on me wherever we are! That being said, since he hit puberty (about a month ago) he has lost me out of sight twice (still trying to come back but itโs much more difficult in a dense forest), and I realize that he is much more interested in small animals than he used to be (I could recall him every time from hunting yet but I donโt want to be overly confident about it) so since then I am also using a long leash that I let drag on the floor but I can still grab if I feel him loosing focus! I hope we can get back to off-leash soon, itโs very special to walk in the nature with your dog with only mutual trust bonding you together.
Iโm glad thereโs another video about Inertia.
Hey Zach. Love from Indiaโฆ
You should take her to a dog park and update on her progress with that.
Is it enertia or inertia?
Damnnn this is goal and my GS pup doesnโt stop bitingโฆtried everything ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
Bro try for Guinness world record you can definitely break the records with your excellent dog๐
Thank you thank you so much Zak for the dog training videos because of you my dog is well behaved and she is only 3 months thank you once again. And also can you do video of traveling with your dog it would be great help plsss
I have a borer collie and without these videos, I do not know what would happen!
Pog
Your dog is so well trained๐
Zak, Iโm trying to train my pup to fetch Frisbees, but we havenโt been able to fine the โperfectโ frisbee. I would really appreciate it if you could maybe either respond to this comment or make a video about that. Thanks ๐
she should be in the kennel club
Zak we live on a farm and have a ton of fenced in fields and my pup can still slip through the gate. She is only 5 months old though so she isnโt the most reliable.
I wanted to try Nom Nom for so long but they donโt ship to Canada ๐ญ
lucky dog, lucky master. ofc, also applies to every family that takes good care of their dogs!
can you help. btw we do have a long leash
my dog is really bad at recall because my parents donโt care that he runs of but it makes me anxious when I call him and he just compleatly ignores me and is 100 yards away.
Has inertia ever ran off and ignored you?
OMG when I saw the community post I didnโt know it was Inertia!
Zac do not slam ecollars. They are just another tool. Just say you donโt prefer them. They are also great insurance. When used properly.
I donโt have a full fenced in backyard, I will bring my labrador on a 20ft lead, and she does pretty good with recall. I have not taken the lead off, I am afraid she wonโt listen, maybe that she would run. But she is doing great with the long lead!!
Itโs so lovely seeing a professional dog trainer with an almost 2 year old dog that still sometimes struggles with certain commands, makes me feel not so bad when I struggle with my pup heโs 5 months old and is getting really good at long lead recall without distractions
Wowwww ๐
