Wow! 3m subscribers..congrats 🍾 Great video, Alaska looks a stunning place ❤️
Give us a frisbee update !!!!!!!
I was born and raised in Alaska so I thought I’d share a few things that might make things a little easier on you!
1. Practice driving on ice and purposely (but safely!) losing control in a large empty parking lot. Trooper friend of the family recommended it and works amazing to gain those important skills in regaining control on slick roads.
2. Bears usually start waking up March-ish. So, right now you’ll be just fine from them.
3. The other people are right on mama moose being super dangerous. If you see one moose immediately look around to make sure there’s no young nearby. But usually if you give them space you’ll be ok.
4. When on ice, if you don’t have crampons, practice the shuffle. Pretend you have ice skates on and shuffle around till your off the slick part and it will help.
5. Check out Flattop for hiking when the snow melts. I think you guys will love it! It’s a very popular hiking spot so there’s lots of people and not a lot of big game that comes around that trail. And it’s gorgeous!! Local secret: when you drive up Upper Huffman to get there you’ll notice a part where the road dips down. If you turn around your car there so it’s pointing back towards the city, put it in neutral and be patient for about 30 to 45 seconds your car will be pulled up and over the hill. Some people say it’s an optical illusion, others say magnetics. Either way, it’s cool!
Love your videos!
I remember when I first started watching the series it was the best good vibes zak love your content ❤️👍
I’m getting a Pomsky puppy around the 7th of March she was born just over a week ago. I’ve heard Pomskies can be quite stubborn and difficult to train do you have any specific training methods for the more stubborn breeds, Pomskies, Huskys, Shiba Inu etc?
Please heart big fan
Maybe you could do everything she knows vid? Or tricks that are most important or came in handy? Lastly how about a pointless but cool tricks vid!?
Hi Zak👋
A few tips on teaching your dog not to rip up paper when you leave house for a half hour!
I love inertia so much. ❤
What breed was that pulled him on the tube?
14:41 those moose are so huge it’s almost unbelievable. my eyes see it but my brain refuses to compute
You are a great dog trainer
Hey Zak – bears hibernate in the winter! 🙂
Welcome to Alaska! My husband and I were surprised to see you in our neck of the woods. I told him, he’s at beluga point! (In the intro) Yeah, stay clear of moose, especially a mama and a baby. Also, you usually don’t have to carry bear spray in the winter but do whatever makes you feel safer. if you live on hillside you’ll see a lot of wildlife. You’ll love it in the summertime too.
Love the house Zak congrats
So cool 🙂
Bear… spray…? You wha? Love, an English person 😆
Thank you so much Zak and Bri (and Inertia of course), you guys are so fun to watch and seem like such awesome people. Can’t wait to get to use all your training tips when we get our new puppy!
Love your videos! 💖 You all do a great job! I’m excited to soon train my Airedale puppy!!
does anyone know how big inertia is?
This is so very cool. Congrats on the house. And Inertia is such a beautiful dog!
Congrats on your beautiful new place and sharing it with us. ❤️🐶
Bree, where did you get all that great looking furniture? It’s stunning. Best of luck in your new place. 🍀
Zak! We are in Anchorage as well! Please, meet my doggy Lena, we need you! 😁
Congratulations on 3mill 😀
A video with a dog that gets very excited about other dogs and pull and lunges and what to about it!
Did you fly with Inertia to Alaska? Can you please do a video on how to train a dog to be comfortable in an airport and on a plane?
I have a 4 month old corgi and this video made me so pumped to teach him tricks! He’s got the basics down – sit, down, come, and stay – but I hope to teach him some really fun ones too in the future! Your videos have been a lot of help with training since I got him. Much love from the Shuswap <3
Is their dog Indy with them in Alaska?
also its winter all the bears are hybernating
This video was great! I think you should teach Inertia to jump into your arms, I’m teaching my 4 year old sheltie to do it, and it’s such a cool trick! Thanks for all the help Zak 😁
I live in the city in Alaska and one of my biggest problems is my tiny dog wanting to chase and bark at moose.
It’s great to see another dog trained around them, I’ll have to give it a try.
It’s fun to see the Alaska videos too, I’ve never seen anyone throw themselves on a snow bank haha.
I have some moose tips for you! Normally if you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone. It was abnormal when that moose charged that man. I suspect those people probably did something to spook the moose. They’re pretty skittish.
You usually can pass them if you walk by quietly and quickly. So if you have a barking dog you of course want to immediately turn around and walk away. Otherwise as long as you’re not too close. I’d say at least 10 feet of space to walk by quickly and quietly and you’ll be okay. Some people make the mistake of hanging out to watch the moose while standing way too close which kinda looks like what the guy in the road was doing.
Also you NEVER want to try to scare a moose away or aggravate it in anyway. That’s like the number one thing you don’t do.
I’ve never seen anyone carry bear spray in the winter. I think you’re safe on roads without it until spring. Although it’s great to see newcomers take precautions
It’s unfortunately not uncommon for tourists to come to Alaska and get themselves in trouble. Usually it’s getting lost in the vast wilderness of Alaska and not making it back.
Most Alaskans myself included never go off trail. Unless you have the right skills and navigation equipment. Most people do not. At least not in the city.
Hey I saw you at best buy here in alaska
nom nom
……nom nom
So nice to see our puppy Chingiz pulling sled
I have encountered a moose while in a vehicle, I gave him plenty of room. It was also mating season, so I was extra careful.
17:04 was impressive
I love how focused she is on you
Wow that was an impressive stay.
I hope to shake your hand one day to thank you for guiding me and my puppy in the right direction.
I hope my six month old border collie turns out to be even half as good a dog as Inertia. She’s a challenge right now and it’s definitely discouraging sometimes.
How did you teach limp?
Buy a gun, Alaska ain’t no joke
I have a deaf son and am amazed at how our dog picked up and responds to sign language commands only and not just verbal ones.
Zac: “So many of you have been asking about Inertia and what we’re working on today…”
Showing fork in dog food.
Me: “To use a fork?”
New Or Lee Anns
Haven’t watched your channel in a while. Didn’t you have 2 dogs?
Looks like a mild winter
Thought it was Alaska fabulous
I don’t even own a dog but I love watching these videos. If I ever get a dog, I’ll have an idea of what to do
Where are you Alaska the scenery is so beautiful
i feel bad
How often do you take your dog outside now?
I watch these vids religiously. I have a dog who is very leash reactive and dog reactive and while we are working on desensitation and training, there is not a lot of videos or help on managing a situation when the dog has crossed the fresh hold and is reacting in the red zone. Specifically if in a situation that you can turn around and get enough space. Everyone says, if you can’t get enough distance, then you may have to just manage the situation and move on… But what are some management techniques????
Wow, fantastic job! Inertia was able to slide to a stop before the stairs when you threw the toy and told her to stay! That was a great example of how well trained and responsive she is to you. Totally awesome!!
can a human eat nom nom because that lowkey looks yummy😭💀
3 million subs the dream. I can certainly see how so many like what you do. 😀🐕
No way! We live in Alaska, been watching your videos for a bit in preparation for getting a puppy.
It is so beautiful there! Congratulations on your new place!
Did you guys continue to work on “tell me a secret?” After Bri introduced it?!
16:07 Interia’s like how d’you know that??🤣🤣🤣
Where’s indy?
Since Inertia is smart, I wonder how many vocabularies she will master if you train her to speak with the AAC buttons and interested to see how to train her to be able to operate them.
I don’t have a dog yet, but when i do (in 3 years) imma be the best doggy mama thanks to you George! Keep up the good work!!❤️
LOL… the dog-sled look like fun. I am sitting in a wheelchair and my family and i have often said that we need a dog that can pull my in the chair if i run out of power 😛 , sadly we only have a small dog, but maybe if we get 10 ?? hehe
Can u pls do a video on phasing our the treats for leash walking
love the house but I love inertia even more !
Zak we wanted a hug from inertia
Zak you should teach us how to train a sleddog!
Another great video! The moose scares me as my cousin died in Alaska from a moose stepping over the guardrail on a freeway and directly onto their car, crushing it. Be so careful! 😬 I’m sure you are!!
My dog he is 11 weeks but he is so scared of cars so maybe could you teach how to get your dog used to cars or somthing
How did you introduce her to snow and her climbing up the latter
Do you have any suggestions for helping your puppy bond with other family members? Currently my puppy is attached to me and likes my husband. I’d like her to bond closer to him. He feeds and trains her more now and it’s helped but do you have more tips?
Have inertia learn to climb that ladder?🤔🤔🤔
What??? What a surprise!! I have a new puppy and found your channel hoping for some training tips in this weird social distancing time. Gosh, to find out you have bought a summer home in my town!! I love the tips on wild life, it’s a real thing!!! I have some weird requests. My puppy is going to have to learn to ride behind snow machine and small air plane. I would love some tips on that.
Also congrats at 3 million subs
That’s amazing! Inertia is so well trained!
Just got Zak’s Dog Training Revolution book since me and my fiance are getting a corgi puppy next month and watching Inertia’s growth has given us more confidence to train our own puppy.
so i have two jack Russell terriers and one keeps growling and showing his teeth when he is next to food in the same room as my other dog. My other dog does not like that and she hides behind the sofa all the time. i dont know why she does that is think she just wants to cool down but. i dont know or why my dog does it but i think he may be resource guarding or not but i feel bad for her. they both bark if someone walks past the window and at my neighbours dog and everyone in the house starts screaming SHUT UP! and at night when we let them out to do what they need to do-do they bark and its like 12pm so its super late and we got complaints from the neighbour across the street. they are old so i dont know how im supposed to fix this but i was hoping to get some tips from you. 🙂
Zak!!! You hit 3mil! Congratulations keep up the amazing work!
Thank u for making videos it helps to train my dog a lot
Inertia is beautiful and I love her energy! You’ve done a great job. I only hope our 8 week old Lab takes to the training you have provided for us. I’m in info overload but feel very confident and anxious to get started! Thanks so much from Oshawa, Ontario
That moose….close call😖
How excited for your family new adventure. Thanks for all you do. Katy my 8 month old maltipoo and I have learned so much from you.
That stay with the slide was amazing.
Nice ol
Zak thank you. You have helped me teach my dog to not be as aggressive as he was a long time ago.
You should build her stairs to her room 😍🤣
3 mil 🎊🎊
Love that you will be doing Alaska videos, as this is where I live, and really gives me actual training I can use on our walks that relate to us. Heel and switch, how you react with Inertia to dogs barking, loose dogs, leash tension and why, awesome video!!
And you crack me up with your slip and dive, and that Bri doesn’t allow you to drive. Love you guys!!!!!
Inertia is such a smart and well-behaved dog. By the way was that an Alabai pulling you while you were on the sled?
You can really see, how hard it was for Zak not to do any handsignals 😀 good job! 😉
Zak gets so much hate on TikTok and I’m glad he lowkey addressed a lot of the stuff being said about inertia (that I’ve seen). His methods has helped me have a beautiful relationship with my dog!
How are your hands not cold?
Congratulations on 3 million 🥳
Great video! Love seeing the Inertia series!
I love Zack George it helped train my boxer lab doazer who is 6 month’s old
Where is indy?
Zak watching your videos are what helped me the most to help train my Airedale Terrier “Piper”. Thank you 😊
I’m getting my first puppy next month and I’m so glad that I found your channel! I’m very confident that I’ll be able to train him well because of your channel 😊🐩
That’s so cool that you went to alaska!!
Zac a challenge to your training. How would you convince your dog to come back to you over some kind of stimulus? Do you believe in introducing offleash at under 6 months or wait till order when u are competing with the teenage years?
Zak, it looks like the harness that you use for inertia hangs towards the side vs the back. What kind of harness is is?
I am unable to get my dog Archie to do anything he is only 6 months and we try these vids a lot
I’ve bought a Border Collie, she’s not born yet! But I’ve been getting ready with your help. You and Inertia have been training me and getting me ready! Can’t wait to try it with my own little bundle of joy! Thank you very much for your videos, Zak.
Wow, when she froze instantly, it was amazing.
Could u make a video on which chews you use? It’s really confusing because some people say e.g. bones are good and some people disagree cause dogs can break their teeth. I have a teething puppy and it would be nice to have an opinion.
Yay , our good girl inertia is back.
Congrats for 3mil subs Zak, you deserve it! 🙂
Inertia has some amazing brakes! Very fun video. Welcome to Alaska, friends.
Gonna be honest. That food from NomNom looks so good, I kinda wanna eat it myself.
When should the dog wears shoes? Do you live in Alaska now?
Question: Does Inertia listen to your wife as well as she listens to you? My bf and I have trained our dog, but no matter what he will always be the alpha because I’m just not that stern kind of person. Is it realistic to expect a dog to behave the same to both, or will there only ever be 1 “master?”
OMG!!!! Inertia after such a long time! I just love her.
Zak, you lost your “star” status way back to Inertia ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for congrats on 3 million subscribers! Kona and “New Puppy Survival Guide” will be back Sunday!
Finally!
Inertia is doing great.
😄thanks for all your tips
Inertia is so good! And congrats on the new summer home. It’s beautiful.
Zak, some suggestions for your time in Alaska. You both should purchase crampons to avoid a spill on the icy roads. Here in Canada, every year people fall on the ice and break bones or worse. A trip to the hospital would ruin your stay.
As for Inertia, perhaps you should buy some doggie boots to prevent damage to her paws when walking on the roads with gravel (especially if there is salt or a de-icing chemical).
Lastly, moose are dangerous especially during rut. Their behaviour completely changes in September/October….be careful!
Zak, I own a 8 month old golen retriver who I’ve been trying to traing for a while. Training her was super tough till a friend of mine suggested the channel to me (about two months ago) and things have been smooth after that. I love all the advice you give in your videos. Thank you for helping me out!!
How do I trained my dog with her anxiety, inside car rides?
Oh ya and thanks Zak for the help on 30 day perfect pup benny is listening so much better now tysm and I love the emails every day it gives me something to read and kinda try to understand
Zach how do I train my husky puppy he doesn’t listen to me he is 2 months old
Thank you so much for your tips. You make my life easier.
I wish my dog was like kona he is good trainer I wish I was like but he is such a good trainer awwww congratulation on 3 milll u need 100. Million but love u great trainer
Can you make a new video of convincing ur parents to get a Border Collie
FINALLY, THE 69TH EPISODE
Love how you stimulate tolerance and patience towards the dog! And what a great adventure you are on in Alaska. Inertia is doing so good, amazing!
Inertia is great 🙂
Zak can u help me train my dog. She is not listening to me. I watched most of ur videos. But then too she is not listening. Can u take a video of sit, lie down all the things like that once more please
Zak – I have a couple of 6 month old mini-aussies (bro-sis littermates) and have primarily used your videos and methods to train them. It is going better than I ever expected so a sincere thank you for that! The number of physical or electrical “corrections” required = 0.
you reached 3M!
I love shepradors
i need help what do i do when my dog won’t get along with other dogs. as a puppy he was attacked by a boxer and now gets aggressive with other dogs. is there a way to fix this
Still kinda clickbait but whatever, still like seeing Inertia
We love Inertia! ❤️
also, I’d like to teach my dog how to climb a ladder, so if you could make the video for that, I’d be grateful! thanks
Latterly I don’t have a dog but I still love watching these

Zak George I’m a little late. I have read all of your books and watched the entire dog training experience playlist. My dog , Snoopy, is starting to bark at people and dogs. Even with all the socializing I’ve done. Please help I dont want him to be a mean dog. EDIT: what should i do?
Inertia!!!!!
