Pepper had so much fun filming with y'all! Now, she'll do a stand with just a hand gesture from me, and will even lie down without a lure. Love you guys! :) For anyone that's curious, we recently found out Pepper is a Chihuahua/Dachshund/Poodle mix, haha.
Sara DeJong Pepper is simply adorable!
Pepper is awesome! Thank you so much for letting us work with her and feature her! You’ve done a wonderful job with her.
Pepper's awesome! I have a Chihuahua/Yorkie/mini pinscher mix named peanut and she looks a lot like Pepper, she's just much more high energy lol
Thank you!!
Sara DeJong I love her. She’s the sweetest!
Training a small dog after having large dogs is a definite game changer!
Ariana Cantu agreed
Girl, just got my first small breed a couple of month ago and I couldn’t agree more!! It’s almost like having a different species of animal altogether 😂🤣😂
yess. my friend has a maltese puppy and ive been trying to teach him things but its so much different to big dogs, which im more used to
I’m not typically a small dog person but Pepper completely won over my heart.
I feel so much better about how long it took my maltese mix to learn down now. He had no idea what I wanted from him for 2 weeks.
I have a mixed breed and although he isnt very into training, your tips are great to get my dog to do what is told. When i will be older, i will get a dog (if not two :) ) and train it using your tips. Thank you
zackgeorge helped me to become a good dog trainer.... thanks george... 😘😘
"You gave Dobby a sock, Harry Potter gave Dobby a sock"
I just got my first puppy - he is a Cavoodle and adorable. I have watched all your you tubes and have your book, they are so helpful and inspiring. I wish you could come to Brisbane Australia. Thanks for all your hard work and your love for dogs.
I'm getting a shiba inu in 3 weeks and I'm so excited to use your positive training techniques! Your videos always teach me so much; Thank you for all your hard work, and educating people about humane training!
Darknyan004 good luck!
I have a Shiba Inu prepare for a TON of shedding and insane amount of stubbornness. This will be a big test of patience for you but if you’re prepared for both of those qualities then you’ll do just fine. They will attract attention everywhere you go. Regrettably their not the most affectionate dogs but are super loyal and super smart once you learn how to break through their hard headedness
Grim Reaper oh god this. My girl wants SO HARD to be the boss. Its a daily battle to keep her from being a huge pain, and she requires a lot of interaction and stimulation. However, when you get her in the zone she's so goddamn amazing. I just wish the play biting would go away.
Grim Reaper I have experience with a husky so I am prepared for the shedding and the stubbornness haha. But thank you for the helpful information!
How did it turn out? Would love to hear an update!
I just clicked on this because I thought "Oh maybe there is something here that helps me train my dog" and then you said your training with Pepper a 2-3 year old rescue dog which is exactly what I am trying to train right now. My dog is a 2 year old rescue too AND her name is Pepper! They even look very similiar mine is just black instead of brown
I had such a hard time teaching my pomchi lie down. He didn’t have to lie down to get to the lure so he just bent down. We tried luring him under a leg tunnel too, and didn’t see much indication that he was getting it. We rewarded him whenever he lied down on his own and reinforced it with a command. It was his biggest training hurdle but one day it just snapped into focus for him and now he flops down enthusiastically. Patience is key, because even if you don’t think they’re learning, they are. It was a weirdly very proud day for me lol
What I noticed with my dog when it was a puppy is that when trying to teach a "lay down" command I would put the treat under his chest and that did the trick.
Btw I would love to see you train a JRT in your series sometime. My favorite breed that is :3 I don't know why tough.
I have a 6 month old akita and your tips have helped immensely! He's the first big dog I've ever had and I was nervous about training but you made it easy to understand and implement! Thanks a ton!
You probably won’t see this but, I have a dog ( chiweenie) and her name is Chloe . I’ve taught her many tricks like hug, sit, lay down, dance, bang, shake, stand on hind legs but sitting (If u know what I mean) ,army crawls ,hide and seek, jump, and wave. I learned some of her tricks from you. So keep up the good work!😜😁
CutiePatootieNutellaLover thank u!☺️
This was teaching my small dog to lie down looked like. He did not want to do it! I did not have this video then though. I also found it helpful to train him on a large dog bed, something he is use to lying down on. From there he progressed more easily to lying down on the hard floor.
So excited to submit to the contest!
Oh my gosh she is the cutest little girl...!! I love her. Her face is just like my dog's... The ears and the facial expressions!! She's so wonderful
My small SDiT was an interesting dog to teach but if you can engage your small dog it's totally worth it!
I have found playing with the treat (wiggling it and such) on the ground between their feet will sometimes work.
There's so much things I learn about you and I am very thankful for that...I hope that you will inspire more people to take a good care to their buddy(dog)
Pepper is so cute!
She looks like a short haired version of my dog (Yorkie, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua mix)
I love pepper
My dog learned how to sit after watching your video
Great videos but please make them longer. I like watching them while sleeping
OMG she looks so much like my Chihuahua girl. Mine has white markings, straight ears, and a bit more curled tail than Pepper though. I taught my girl the basics within a few days of getting her at 10 weeks old. She took a while to stop having accidents at night (because I kept her in a pen instead of a crate), but she had a decent handle on it during the day after a week (this was before I watched your videos). Little dogs are a lot smarter and willing than most people think.
She's also never jumped on people when they entered the house, and has never been a yapper. She never did any damage to the house, but she did destroy her bed once, and stole paper when ignored as a puppy. She also howled at the start (during the day, not just on her first nights sleeping alone), but once she realized she was ignored whenever she howled and picked up when she didn't, she stopped real quick. Since she's turned 1 years old (she's now almost 3) she's been very behaved and sleeps the whole time I'm out for my college classes (usually 2-5 hours). She just wants to cuddle all day with a few minutes of fetch here and there. Biggest sweetheart of a dog I've ever had and known. So gentle. And adores kids.
Pepper looks like our dog damn wish I could show yall but they look like twins but my Nilo is more hyper all over the place but I love him ,great video 10/10
So glad you did a video with a small dog! Pepper looks exactly like my pup, Tucker 💙. Although I think Tucker may be a 3 energy level haha
I have a chihuahua and this video is great. I will try this on her. I suggest making playlist on youtube per breed. Makes it easier for people to learn and not struggle on what to teach the dog first. Great videos and keep more coming
The dog's ears are saying, "i have heard this many times!" Good vid. I like Pepper...
I really love your background music to this videos. Great work!
She is such a lovely dog *-*
The thumbnails on this one are the literal cutest
I’ve only had previous experience with large breeds, but now having a little dude (who looks eerily similar to this girl you’re working with) it’s almost like having a different species of animal altogether 😂 I don’t understand how you’re saying it’s no different?!? I am finding it SO different. I find he is far quicker with learning and retaining information, but because he’s so smart he’s also a little tricky. Far more resourceful than my big dogs were and tries to get around listening sometimes too. But always responds to gentle correction and gets back on track. He’s also more nippy and mouthy, he is a puppy and as he matures the nipping is becoming less. But I’m learning that a lot of his mouthiness is purposeful. He’s led my hand to a toy to play or mouths when he wants me to culled him on the couch. But one thing that’s been impressive is that he gets extra nippy whenever he needs to go out, alerting me instead of having accidents. I’m learning his cues, and man am I finding him much quicker on the uptake that any large dog I’ve had. Not sure of it’s my back of knowledge gained from experience or that my big dogs were just more dopey, or pushy and slower to submit to behavior modification 😂 This guy, if I didn’t know understand dog behavior and body language and how to train a dog, would probably run rings around me 🤣
I have a chihuahua that I got from the shelter. She loves cheese but that doesn’t matter. It’s been months now and she won’t keep up with the behavior. Sometimes if she doesn’t feel like it, she won’t even care about the cheese. She won’t stop submissive urinating sporadically, and she hates the leash.
I ordered your book and it just got to me a couple days ago! I'm SO excited!!
I have a chihuahua!!!! Two actually. Their names are Tinkerbell and Coco and ones super lazy and mean and he other ones super hyper and I need to take her away from people cause she’s so nice, I love them both with all my heart tho ❤️
My experience tells me that intelligence is the biggest difference in training any dog 🌞 Thanks for the vids 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
My dog was lying on a blanket on the couch. I flipped him on his back and said roll over, then flipped him back over and said lye down. Then without touching him I said roll over, and he rolled on his back. I gave him a nice treat for that.
Pepper IS perfect. 😊❤ I love dogs.
I'm learning so much from your videos and my dogs are benefiting from it too so thank you so much! Hoping to get your book for my birhday :)
Zak, your videos are awesome!! I've learned so many techniques that we use with our 13 mo pup. We were clueless and your videos have helped us immensely!
Hi Zak i am 9 and i love your videos
I love your tips about training dogs you make me want a dog more and more so annoy my mum more then usual !
Have you watched the one Zak made about how to persuade your parents ?
Tesla Nick yes I have
Pepper is the double of chihuahua jrt mix except my Layla only has one folded ear
I'm getting a Shih Tzu in a few weeks. I already have a Pom but brushing up on my knowledge. Thanks
awwwwwwwww so cute!!! love your videos!!!!!! I'm learning so much from you
Way to go Pepper 🎉🎉 🎉
Thank you video was very to me but how to teach a dog to stand from sitting position!
Awww,Pepper's adorable!
Thanks for this topic. In France, small dogs are allowed on trains and buses and big dogs aren't, so I'm brushing up.
I think I have the same dog mine is a gold meagle, minpin-beagle mix even has the slight black hair on the back though her chest is white yours looks like a purebred minpin I think it's smaller than mine without the beagle. Anyway on my FIRST TRY I put it down between her paws slightly to the side and Sunny went down as I said down by the time she was down I couldn't believe how perfect that first try went! Second and third time I gave her a treat she only kneeled down a bit. 4th time she went down AGAIN I gave her 2 treats. 5th time got too excited did not go down and I finally remove the treat, 6th time AGAIN she went down!!! I'm doing this over and over like 10 times now and she's went down I'm losing count now. This actually motivates me to train my dog more as I've tried various Ceasar tricks in the past and could not get my dog to do anything... down she does I don't know why but I'm going to try paw again now too thank you.
edit: Just saw that the breeds are in the top comment, not the description. I would have never guessed poodle was in the mix of breeds but chihuahua & dachshund I can see it's still cute AF.
Love your videos 🐶🐶
Pepper looks A LOT like my dog, Toby🐕
Pls upload a video about training a pomeranian
Shes amazing!
Omg i was looking at video's of Australian shepards and I saw you from a video , 6 year's ago, you changed so much hahaha💙
What breed is pepper? She looks like a Chiwinie
Pepper is soooo cute)
Can you do a video where you go to a shelter and train dogs so that they might get adopted faster?
Zak and I have made TONS of videos with shelter dogs :) Here are a few where we actually went to a shelter and picked out a handful of dogs to work with, but there are also shelter dogs featured routinely in any of the videos on this channel ;)

Bree Kiech Oh ok! Thanks! I’m new here, so I didn’t know.
CornerGiraffe44 No problem! I’m proud of all of our shelter doggies 🤗
Go Pepper!
those ears!
Can you please do a video about vegan dog food? I know so many people that have always fed their dogs vegan dog food and I’ve seen the dogs heal from allergies and abdominal problems and there’s so much more useful research now about how dogs can strive on vegan dog food. I’d like to hear your opinion.
She is so cute
What do I need to look for when interacting my mini dog with bigger dogs?
Can you please do a video about what to do when a dog is afraid of men?
I would love some guidance on socializing a small dog that had a formative experience as a pup which has caused her to exhibit fear aggression ever since. She also displays dominant behavior with her half brother, escalating at times.
OH MY GOSH MY LITTLE GIRL ZOE DOES THIS AND IVE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH YOUR VIDS FOR THE ANSWER AND YOU FINALLY MADE ONE THANK YOU!!!!! Hopefully I can teach her to lie down now! Ya the one trick I could teach, she does stand, spin, sit and shake! What do you recommend doing when dogs don’t obey without a treat? How about when they do the trick before you command it?
it was like great 😄🐩🐕🐶
Chihuahuas are great jumpers and standers
Zack please will you make a video on how to train a dog to be friendly
Ur video are freaking awesome I look quality in ur video...
Cute dog
*elderly* small dogs are very low maintenance
very good choice for first time owners imo
Awesome.
lol my dog is named Pepper so I felt like this was made for her LOL
What do you do when they are hyper, even after you are worn out form wearing them out? Shld some breeds (teddy bear) start training later then 8 weeks get over some hyperness? It’s been three days. Dog hates the crate doesn’t ever stop crying and barking. Even w good chew toy in crate.
I have been looking for this thank you so much
Sorry i was late to the video
I need you in my life lol My 8 month old insanely hyper and stubborn chi is challenging every aspect of my entity :(
Could you make a training video of great danes
Can u please do a video on how to get your dog to stop digging at a human's bed? My min pin mix will not stop digging at my bed in the same spot every night for hours. I don't know what to do.
Medium dog here ... warming up my feet. He likes to be a big dog by climbing up snowbanks.
Please make a video on Dalmatians
Thanks @zakgeorge . I was wondering if you could do a video on dog play. What’s normal and what’s too much and how to intervene.
Pepper is a cutie and looks a bit like my puppy. What is her breed?
Third? No tenth.
My dog(aka the dog that I train\play with is the complete opposite of the "small dog low maintence" stereotypes because she jumps off your knees!
And how to teach a corgi(with tiny legs)paw???
neat
My dog only pees on her pad. After I take her out for a long walk she will wait till she's back home to pee on her pad . I tried bringing pad outside. Bringing her poop out. Any way to speed up this process ?
Loved the video. Please work with more mutts.. 😍
How to make your dog to stop trying to take off her/his collar because my puppy hates her collar.
Thank you for these videos. Can you make different videos about socializing puppies to different dogs and surroundings? :) I'm sure a lot of owners don't properly do it.
'Hi dear...I want you to show how can I train my 3 months old min pin!!! Because she’s very hyper already and moreover she keep on jumping like a deer. Thanks
Hey Zak... you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I recently went to PetCo and talked to a dog trainer about how to become one when I'm older and all that stuff.. so we started talking and he said something about Cesar Millan abusing dogs? I mean, I don't think he uses positive reinforcement but if you could it would be appreciative if you could give me your opinions on him? Thanks~
Ham Nums ... That not true Cesar has it own way to train and plz don't forget that Cesar traing bad and Agressive 🐕 so, something ... U need to be flexible... And have to hard of dog to make him understand..
You've just had your first encounter with the politics in the world of dog training. One thing all dog trainers are great at is arguing about methods/tools etc. The best advice is to ignore the politics and find your own methods. Start off with clicker training/purely positive and get really good at it. Experience is everything and the more dogs you get your hands on the better you will be. Spend a few years and a few hundred dogs just using markers (clicker/voice etc) and rewards and then learn how to properly layer punishment and the use of aversives. Check out the IACP and Tyler Muto (chairman) and what he's currently advocating for within the industry. The more methods you learn to use, the more flexible you will be and the more dogs you will be able to help.
Cesar Millan has stepped into what could be called abuse. One particular dog - "Holly" (lab) is a great example of really bad training. Cesar really messed up (and got bitten in the process). In the early days he definitely used to flatten dogs and was way too heavy handed and probably ruined a number of dogs, but modern day Cesar is probably one of the least abusive guys out there.
The only thing that makes Cesar "special" is his ability to read dogs.
I've seen Cesar trying to lure and use food rewards and it's clear he's only a beginner. He does say "good boy" a lot on the show.
Look up people like Michael Ellis (legend in dog sports), Ivan Balabanov (generally regarded as the best trainer in the world), Tyler Muto (the "professor"), Chad Mackin (pressure/release guy), Jay Jack (rehabs the nastiest bully breeds using game play), Aimee Sadler (expert in dog socialisation of shelter dogs).
The world of dog training is thriving at the moment, with new ideas and methods being tried out with great success (look up Aimee Sadler - she's one amazing woman helping thousands of dogs in a big way). If you're OBSESSED with dogs and training them and always willing to learn and improve, it's a great career.
I would love to hear your opinion on working with different dog types - like working dogs vs companion dogs :)
I have 2 French bulldogs and in my experience they can be a little harder to get interested and I need a REALLY great treat to get them to work with me - they will NEVER just work for kibble :)
My dog is almost 3 years old, and I admit that when she was younger she wasn't really socialized. She is scared of strangers to the point she bit the vet tech during her check up and I have also noticed she is particularly afraid of kids, any way to help?
How many dogs do you have
Thank you
Hi I would love some advice on how to toilet train my 5 month old chihuahua, we live in the uk so it's very very cold and it rains a lot so taking him out every hour doesn't work he does not like the chill. Only manage to do 1 20minute walk a day and he doesn't even like that. Help would be much appreciated,he is using puppy mats at the moment.
That's exactly why I hate when people say that chihuahuas are agressive. They're not agressive by nature, it's just because their owners don't raise them as dogs, they have a feeling they need to protect these small creatures and they tolerate a lot of thing these small dogs do. Being an overprotective and very benevolent owner is never good, even small dogs deserve to have a fulfilling dog life. I like the way you're raising awarness about such things (training small dogs, that is).
I have a chihuahua mix that goes nuts (biting to hurt) when we try to put clothes on her. Can you address this issue in a video? She also doesn’t let us put a muzzle on her 😞
Lianakayarr we're did you find a muzzle to fit , the xsmall muzzle we got from Petco was still to big for our pomich
Why not just not dress your dog up? If you have to for cold weather etc then you need to do counter conditioning, but some dogs may never be happy being dressed up and trying to bite is very concerning and a strong indicator that he really isnt comfortable and you should just stop putting him through the stress... As for the muzzle you need to muzzle train, you cant just put it on them... go slow, at the dogs pace and make sure they are comfortable with each step before you move on, start out with the muzzle on the floor and reward for any interest, then place food inside the muzzle to encourage them to put their nose in, then start holding it and hold food through the gaps envouraging them to keep their nose in a tiny bit longer each time, then you can slowly start fastening it, keep it on for very short periods at first and reward heavily and with time they will be totally happy to wear it... also make sure you are using a basket muzzle which Is sized properly, not a fabric one as they should be able to pant, bark, drink and eat with it on
