As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzread.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

Cracking up when you threw a bunch more stuff on the ground and she just acted like, “this is normal, dad is always throwing stuff around me”

Only a secure man can rock a pink tee and shoes. Looking fly while training, why not?

I feel like Inertia is thinking "He needs to learn hold it..."

Best4rtNiteClips ah yes, a fake trainer. Fake trainers always have well selled books that are number 3 on best dog training books. Fake trainers are also sponsored by tons of companies to promote their items and they can also definitely teach a dog to stall on their back in one or two tries. And don’t even mention how you are claiming that you know all his stats on his 10 year KZread channel.

I love how he matches Inertia's lead to his sneakers 😂

my dog was pretty good when she was under 6 months then she was really hard to train until she reached a year. All that hard work is worth it. Don’t give up anyone!

I literally just asked a question about public training last week and here you are with an entire vid!!!! I’m so glad I’m subscribed lol. 💜

Hearing "your dog wont play outside if they're not used to being outside" was so good to hear for me. We got a new shelter dog who's two years old, and she has a lot of anxiety. For a blue heeler I expected lots of energy, but it's been the hardest thing to get her to play. The most we've managed is fetch indoors once a day for like five minutes. She loves walking outside but she definitely doesn't show interest in play even more out there. When she has an anxiety attack, she shuts down and doesn't like food, she doesn't pay attention to play to begin with, she won't listen to commands, and both comfort and leaving her alone don't help. We end up waiting it out in her crate where she calms down the fastest despite not enjoying her crate. She's a happy sweet little girl, but she's a little stubborn with commands so I've been doing short training sessions with treats to reinforce and teach commands which has been helping a lot. All in all, she's a well socialized sweet dog, but her learning is in progress. More than anything I want to teach her how to play like a normal dog

We just happened to get our pup, Bowie, on almost the same day that this series started. It's was a beyond-pleasant surprise. It's been super helpful, so thanks for the hard work. We're thankful that we aren't dealing with Inertia levels of puppy biting, but we have our whole host of kinks we need to work out too! haha

One of my favourite videos so far Zak ...makes me realise I expected far too much too soon with mine. The footage out in the park is sooo helpful thank you!!

It's actually a good idea to take handfuls of things like cashews, if your dog is always used to just one or two things falling on the floor, then maybe one day you'll have a whole bag of something and drop it, and then the dog will react differently

I assume puppy class is a good place to meet some dogs for play dates. But can you talk some about how to find and vet older dogs for play dates for those of us who are new to the doggy community? Thanks again for the great series. Edit: I spel werds gud.

I love your humor Zak! Thanks to make me smile a lot while watching your videos. Also big thank you for such a great job you do. You helped me so much with my first dog. He is now 8 months old and I love training him with lots of your tips and tricks.

Starting to see results. Great dog.

The puppy in Zak: throwing things on the floor is AMAZING fun!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I just love dis channel it’s my fav FAV channel in the world 🌍 I love Inertia and Indie

Absolutely love these videos. I've asked for both your books for my birthday. And I'm signing up for your training course. I'm really lucky that I found your channel. Thank you❤️

I’m obsessed with these videos! I’m getting my first puppy at the end of the month, SO grateful for these fun videos! Thanks Zak!

I love you just throwing things on the ground like the handful of cashews xD It obviously could happen easily so its good for training and also just hilarious to watch! lol

zak i love your videos you helped me train my 7 year old dog new things and to inprove her tricks

I love this series! Our puppies are almost the same age so I can see if he's heading in the right direction with training and general puppy-ness ... I also get so many new training ideas, soooooooo helpful!!

I love these kind of videos! Real life training sessions like the salad and park videos are so helpful. Keep up the great work

Thanks for sharing your puppy experience. Its been helping me prepare for the puppy I'm getting in a few weeks

I have loved watching every single one of these episodes. Thank you so much for your commitment to your dogs and to your audience. I have been training a 7 year old beagle that has bitten three people (not deep bites but has drawn blood). He has protection issues and is very reactive to everything. Every single video has been an indispensable resource to add to our training in our 1 on 1 class with a trainer. Soon, I should be able to take him back out into public with confidence that he will not go for anyone, and then, into the woods where he loves to be.

Very informative video! I learn a lot of valuable information from each of your videos - keep up the great work.

I just got my puppy (toy poodle) and I know your channel is really gonna help me be the best puppy parent I can be! Thank you!

My pup has made amazing progress thanks to watching your journey with Inertia ! Positive reinforcement goes such a long way. Couldnt believe how fast our pup has learned

Another great informative video!!! Fun seeing her and Lola play💕

Hi Zak, i love how you use the timer on your phone, it really helped me be more patiënt with my 16 week old puppy! Do you have any rules on how long a walk should last depending on age ? I have heard of the 5-minute rule versus the 1 kilometer (Europe 😊) rule. Do you have a video covering that ?

When your dog doesn’t listen to you and you can still train her, it makes me feel like I can do it too

So far I've watched all of the Kona videos and now I'm 20 episodes in with Inertia I'm getting so much knowledge I can't wait to put it all to practice when I get my puppy soon but YO I gotta respect your KICKS GAME I haven't seen you repeat 1 pair keep up the good work.

Very good as always, and I like seeing both dogs in the episodes. Inertia is a wonderful looking border collie and helps to make me consider getting one one day. The park training was great.

Both of my dogs were settling in their crates and both heads popped up with the squeaker toy 😂 The puppy went right back to sleep and the 1yr old is still mildly intrigued. These videos are so helpful!

Thank you Zak for this series your videos never disappoint!

Very good content. I'm gonna get a samoyed so i'm watching all your videos. It's really reastic. Instead of 2 minuet video of before training and 2 weeks layer perfect dog.

Awesome series. Me and my girlfriend have been watching them. We both grew up with dogs but we are about to get a dog together that’s actually our own for the first time and this has been so informative. We are getting an Akita so if you have any friends with an Akita do a video on those be dope.

I think this one is my favorite video so far. Zak touched on a lot of points that concern me... Chiefly leaving 7 1/2 month old Nova home alone!

Inertia at the park outside is literally my dog everyday! HAHA! Actually, this behavior was much more frequent the first 2 months after adopting him and I thought my dog was broken! lol I couldn't understand why he would not pay attention or take treats. He was so overwhelmed with his surroundings. We are in month 4 now and its SO much better. It just took me 2 months and Zak 25 minutes... lol

She is such a beautiful good girl💗One can easily see her mind races with curiosity, yet she is untroubled- a nice balance.

@@pinkunicorn7035 She may handle a Border Collie perfectly...she may have a lot of experience....she may have a talent for training..she also may pick an unusually laid back puppy. I commented not to say she should not have a Border Collie....many people have them and they fit quite well with their life. But not telling her about the Border Collie being the smartest dog in the world and having insane energy is like not telling someone if they dont get great recall with their greyhound...it may be particularly difficult to chase...or if they adopt a rottweiller who pulls...walking it may really suck....or that an afghan hound may chase their cat...or that a older dog may be more expensive in vet bills and make little ones sad when they die with less time to explain such things.. .or like not telling a family an adult akita could make everyday tasks with a newborn infant hard. Im not sure where the disagreement is. I tell everyone who says they want a Border the same exact thing because i know how they can overwhelm the wrong person quickly. By the wrong person i dont mean someone who i "judge" as a wrong fit...but someone who is very unhappy because no one helped them make an informed choice. For example...id be concerned if someone gave an 80 year old woman a full grown great dane that pulls. Id wonder if either party considered how that could become a hardship really fast...and older people dont heal from injury like younger people do. However i know some elderly people who are more capable than i am and are quite able to raise large dogs. I just dont see the harm in sharing information. She can take it or leave it. Either way i hope what i said either helps her see shed be happier with another breed or more inspired than ever because shes totally into an extreme dog. Depending upon perspective what i said could literally be taken the opposite way. I asked are you sure? She could respond " more sure than ever now that i have even more facts". Thats assuming she didnt already know what i shared. .hope you are having a great day 😊

I want some salad now... but i think im gonna leave it! 😁

Very interesting episode! Love following along with your training. One thing I can't help to wonder, is why "home alone"-training didn't start earlier? Why not start the training as soon as the puppy gets comfortable at home? Of course only for very short periods of time in the beginning but over time adding more time. For comparison, our puppy, at 4 months, is able to be home alone between 4 and 5 hours, without any anxiety or destructive behavior. Also, will there be an episode (or several) with off-leash walking? We're working on it at the moment, and want to be confident in our come when called, when the dog knows the leash is off. Again, love following along :-)

Can you please do a video on how to choose the right puppy for your needs out of a litter?

i wish i had this chance to train my dog from puppyhood. We got our dog a month ago at 18 months old after he ran away from home most likely as a result of neglect. He's very reactive and the outdoors are pretty stressful for him. Every training session is a bit of a struggle but we're gonna be patient and get through this.

i trained my dog with all of your tricks. i love these series. i am signed up with petflo...

My samoyed is well behaved thanks to you!! But he does have an instict to go after birds, chickens, anything that can fly, it would be helpful if you could show us how to deal with the hunter impulse?
