    I love how he doesn't use already trained dogs with no issues, it gives hope for the future dog i don't have yet

    The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. youtube.com/post/Ugkx5AVCD46OLnYCyGwOxmyhhvJJSZVuz… The examples given in the are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.

  • @relaxmydog
    This is SUCH a great and important vlog - thanks so much for sharing., Separation anxiety is much more common in dogs than people think! We make music to help pups who suffer with it, but vlogs like this are also important!
  • @vegetarianguy60
    Thank you, Zak George, for making these videos and making them available to everyone. I come across many people who have no idea about dogs or teaching them and I refer them to your videos all the time.
  • @vidyas.4531
    You are the best dog trainer ever! I love that your training methods are easy to use, and they are still kind to our fellow dogs!
  • @MsGenXodus
    I just realized that what Zac is doing with his dog, my therapist does with me! Exposure therapy with rewards and a little bit of cognitive behavioral therapy, but in doggy versions! That’s awesome!
  • @johnsong3455
    Just bought my new puppy on Valentine’s Day, and your videos and book have been critical to early success with my new goldendoodle! Thanks for all that you do!
  • Zak, I just want to tell you how much I truly enjoy your videos. Your personality is so calming, I love watching you work. I want to say thank you for inspiring me to train my dog and giving me my baby back! You really are awesome.
  • The timing of you posting this video couldn't be any better for me! I'm currently dealing with my dog's separation anxiety and I will make sure to try your advice for sure. Thank you!
  • Hi Zac, I am a fan from Brazil. I just got s new puppy, it's my third time having a young dog, but I never got a puppy who had so much separation anxiety before. I love that you don't judges us as parents, and that you always recognized in your videos how hard it can be to train our dogs.
