As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home czcams.com/users/postUgkx1_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.
Please keep showing training for separation anxiety. There are so many going through this.
Separation anxiety is no joke, I rescued a 3yr old Shepherd husky mix. His separation anxiety was really bad, I felt prisoned in my own home because he never felt safe or comfortable being alone. Even if I was in the next room (for crate training or cleaning the house) he would then bite doors and try to break them down to get to me along with whining, howling, and barking. He even knows how to open doors and unlock doors/crates. It was like living with a velociraptor. Though over time with training/conditioning he finally sees his crate as a safe space to be in when we have to leave the house. He even puts himself in the crate when he is tired over the other dog beds. It took a few months but im glad we didn't give up on him he is a wonderful part of our family.
I really need help with my puppy with his separation anxiety
This brings me back to last fall when I got my Whippet puppy. She cried so hard if I took as much as a step away from her that I was at one point convinced I'd never be able to leave her home alone.
Now she runs into the crate if she sees me with her Kong and sleeps quietly while waiting for us to get back.
I just took in a 17 week old English Cocker Spaniel pup that spent all of her life in a shed. It's been five days now and thanks to your work, we had the best time. She might be tiny, she was the runt of the litter, but she's brave and sweet. She picks up really fast and she even teaches me about how she works. She is the single best decision I made in my life. Thank you
Inertia was sooo adorable sharing her favorite shark toy with her new little sister. 😍 It makes me so happy to see the whole family bonding. Veronica is a smarty pants she got the leave it pretty quickly. ❤
I've had my puppy for literally 3 days and this channel has taught me SO much, honestly don't know how I would've survived without it
I always crack up at Inertia’s look on her face when she sees another dog “misbehaving” 😂
When our dogs were first with us we started the kennel right next to the bed, and if they'd get whimpery I could put my hand down so they knew I was there. Then every night we moved it a little further away until it was down the hall and in our main living space. We also would put them in the kennel even when we were home and used kongs with frozen peanut butter or long lasting chews. We also practiced and don't open the kennel door until they're laying down. After time they don't really get too excited in there at all when we come back to let them out. I think the most important thing to remember is all these things will take time, and takes some endurance.
I’m so glad you got a small dog with barking issues. I’ve been watching you for 3 years since we got our dog and barking is the biggest issue we still haven’t been able to conquer!
Your channel helped me train my GSD puppy in 2020, and she is literally the perfect dog now! I’m getting a new puppy in 2 weeks, so this series is perfectly timed for me. I need a refresher 🤣 Juno is so well behaved, that I’m spoiled now!
Best wishes to you and your new puppy's training. I got a puppy 3 weeks ago. He is very smart
I.
I am certainly no expert by any means, but when we were crate training the game-changer was actually covering the crate with a blanket. Our dog much preferred it feeling "den-like" to being stuck but still seeing all of the stimuli. We leave one side uncovered where the door is, so she can look out but she seems to feel safer with the covering. She even goes in for naps on her own!
Edit: I typed this up before you tried and saw success with the blanket. Awesome!!
It looks so cute at the "leave-it"-training , when Veronica looked down at the treat , as if she wanted to find out why it is laying there . 🥰
I get more excited as each lesson progresses because I really want to learn how you calm and train a super high energy puppy. Thank you for sharing the reality of training a dog.
I need this channel! My 4 month old lab Lucy is digging her way to the center of the world from the lawn.
Maybe boredom or excess energy?
4 months🥰 I miss those days. Now he is 10, and never plows trough anything. Other than bring me my shoes and pillows❤ I hope i get many more years with this guy!
@@messymarcywright6442Thank you 🙏🧡 it could be excess energy as I'm 45 and she's faster than me. It can't be boredom surely? I do play with toys in the garden with her. Which I replace and rotate regularly. We race for the toy, play fetch and wrestle with the toys, and I let her win half the time and we take regular breaks but she will sit down or wonder off and start sniffing the garden and start digging. Now when I stop her or tell her to leave it she gets annoyed and bites.
I do training with her too, and she sit, lays down, stands and high fives and she comes when called, house toilet trained, she is also crate trained and sleeps through the night til 7am with two (2 hour) sleeps during the day. I love her so much and she's clever and amazing but she my first dog and I'm struggling with the biting, the digging and leash training.
I know she loves me back but I really don't think she respects me and I'm worried that she is taking charge, especially when she runs off with the toy into the house and sit on my spot on the sofa.
Anyway sorry to go on. Thank you for your comments it probably is too much energy for an old lady like me.
@@vikingdogmanship thanks Viking it's a relief at the moment to know she might relax a bit more later then. Sound like you've got a lovey pup there to bring you your shoes. Lucy will probably bury mine in the garden
@@messymarcywright6442 you might be right there... excess energy
Four years ago I feel like I marathoned all of Zak's videos when I adopted a reactive dog, and slowly we made progress. Now that I have taken on a second dog I'm back to watch all of these again. :) Thanks for providing this resource!
Using your videos, my 18-month-old pup now heads to his crate on cue when we say “Go to bed!” He lays down and waits for his nighttime biscuits (3 small Teddy Bear shaped biscuits) and nearly always sleeps all night! If he barks, we know it’s time for a quick bathroom break but he goes back in and goes to sleep afterwards. We always keep one of his indestructible toys in the crate with him and sometimes you can even tell that he’s awake and chewing without any distress. Daytime is a bit more challenging but he’s getting better about being left alone in the daytime. Love this series and you guys! 💜
How adorable was Inertia with Veronica I cant get over it, she is so loving to all the dogs you've helped Zak your truly incredible 🐾😀
I loved Bree’s takeover! Zak is pretty good too!
Don't give up on the crate training. You never know when they are going to have to be in a crate without you there and they need to be able to handle that situation calmly. If she goes to the vet for an overnight procedure or if you go on vacation and have to leave her with a boarder, the crate training comes into play. All four of our dogs love their crates!
Hang in there with crate training! I had never had any issues crate training a dog until I got one of the ones I have now. I thought she just wasn't going to be a dog you could not crate. But I kept at it and she now tolerates her crate quite well. She doesn't go in on her own accord, but will go in and lie down and relax on cue. While she doesn't "love" it, she isn't stressed about it and will happily go in with a nice lick mat. When we get home, she's still relaxing in the crate. (BTW, we had an Irish Wolfhound who had figured out how to open her crate and if we left her in the crate, she'd open it and come out on her own. The first time we returned home to her out of her crate, we figured we hadn't closed it properly. Next time we left, we made sure it was properly closed. Got home, she's at the door to greet us. So we taped it. Yep, she was opening the crate herself). And leave it is such an important lesson! We were out on a walk the other day and someone had thrown out some french fries from McDonald's. Really tempting, but all I had to say was "leave it" and they happily left the french fries alone.
I'm sure you've heard it a lot but it's nice to see Bree getting more involved in this one.
Another GREAT episode. Looking forward to the next one.
This is the most energetic and barking puppy I have ever seen. I would be at my wits end in no time. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing Golden puppy
Thought I would tell you about something that happened the other day with Lily, 6-month-old Shih Tzu. We are on the porch and there are all kinds of helicopters on the porch. I don't want her to eat them because they may hurt her tummy. She picks one up, I say leave it, and she puts it down. She goes to the next one I say leave it, and she walks away. Great right lol. I had to sweep the porch off because leave it for the first 12 didn't stop her from going to the next 12 to pick them up lol. She didn't pick one up after the first one but only because I said leave it for each and everyone before she picked it up lol. She is coming along so well, still working on coming if she is the least bit distracted. Thank you for all the help you have given me with the videos.
great! nice video… I did something similar on my channel too
She has the prettiest color! So much great information. I’ve learned so much from you and I was able to successfully train my border collie Clue!
This is AMAZING! Just what I'm looking for, for my new pup! Thank you thank you! I'm keen to keep watching this playlist!
Really appreciate that to our show problems and solutions. Really helps seeing Veronica grow
We just got an 8 week old cocker spaniel last Friday and I think training is going well so far, but also seems to have bad anxiety when left alone in his crate, which I think we're slowly ironing out, thanks to your videos! Thanks so much for being such a great help so far- I'm not sure what I would've done without your channel!
This is awesome!! You are such a great trainer with little Veronica. She’s a lucky girl to have the best kind of training right off the bat as a young dog!! I know she will be the best and most well behaved dog after she goes through her training. You’re so incredible, by far my favorite dog trainer forever!!❤️💕
Great work!! She's doing pretty good for a pup!
Wonderful video! Ordered the books.
What a beautiful gorgeous puppy dog!🥰🐶🥰
Your channel encouraged me to feel confident to get a puppy. My pup is now 6 months old and boy it has been a crazy four months together so far, but she and I have such an incredibly enriching relationship because of the foundation for communication I learned through your book and videos. Thank you!!!
My dog just had baby's and I am keeping one of them to be my new SD and I can't wait to see how he does your videos help me so much thanks mosh love from NC
I will be watching all these videos. I just got a new rescue puppy . So far he is doing well with my other dog . But I love your methods. Great work
I used your videos to train my pugalier 5 years ago, he’s beautifully trained and we get many compliments on his behaviour. now we’re considering bringing one of his puppies into our family, and I’m back watching your videos again. Thanks for all the info you provide us Zak! I’ve recommended your channel to everyone I know whose gotten a puppy.
Veronica is just the cutest!! 😍 she really takes to your training, and I have a feeling her and Inertia will be besties pretty quick (or are already besties at this point) 😆
I gave my dogs a treat every time I put them in the grate. Worked out great. Now they jump into the grate when I get ready to leave for work in the mornings. Enjoyed the video. We got a new dog recently. Going to watch the videos as y’all continue training Veronica.
Great video! Is it possible for you to make video about the supplies (collars,leashes,etc) you use with Veronica and inertia?
Her paws are the cutest thing eeeever 🥰 I love her sassy attitude 😂 my kind of dog
Thnx for helping
Love this!
Make the crate more cosy inside it.. a tiny little bed she can climb in to within it.. make half of the floor newspaper... so she then looks for the nice bed, and not the newspaper. The cage doesn't look that comforting for a young pup.. (just some suggestions.). also a marrow bone will help her settle in there.. been there with small dogs.. they are different in my opinion to bigger dogs to train!.
is it just me or does that puppy really looks like Bree? The hair color is right but also something in her way of communicating..😍.
My best friend got a dog yesterday. She's 8 weeks and she's an Aussie Doodle. Her name is Luna, and she's so perfect! I want to train her too. Thank you for your help! :)
Hi Zak. I just got a 3 month old puppy 3 weeks ago. He is very smart and energetic puppy. So far he has learned Sit and lie down. And he can do it well. He is currently learning Look and me. He is good at come when called. I just taught him how to stay when the crate opens. And he won't do his 1+1s in the crate. He only does it on the grass. He is very well in sleeping in the crate by himself!!! He might do his 1s in the crate. But mostly it is in his water bowl. He is "trustworthy" enough to be off leash outside the house, and it is not fenced. He came to me when I called. And he chases me around so that's how I know that my puppy (Pax) is reliable enough. Zak, please tell me if I need to "fix up" a bit more or what else he needs to learn. But leave it.. Don't ask.
my dog had the exact same seperation anxiety and a kong was what actually helped for us
She is so smart. One thing I’ve done with the nipping is that when she (a toy poodle) nipped which she did when I would come home was I would yelp the way a puppy would when they are hurt. She stopped immediately. They don’t want to hurt you so they seem to stop when they think they are hurting you. It has worked on all my dogs.
Great new series!! Is it possible to train separation anxiety without crate training? We have a 6 month who has bad separation anxiety and isn’t crate trained :(
Awesome👍👍👍
We just adopted a dog and by chance it was a couple days before you. It’s cool to see the progression of both our dogs
I have a 5 month husky and omg she’s crazy, she has so much energy. She needs a lot of training, she doesn’t have much patience🥲
Amazing video
What kind of treats do u use for training them? I really enjoy watching your channel
I am planning on getting a puppy soon and have been watching a lot of your videos to prepare! The biggest thing I'm worried about is the busy road right outside my house. 8000 cars go by a day on this road, and I live on a farm and a fence is sadly not an option. What videos should I watch or articles should I read to make sure I keep my future puppy safe because all it will take is one time. Thank you!
I had a fabric crate for my pup and she settled quickly.
Not that that means anything. Another (older) dog ripped her way out of a fabric crate.
Thank you Zak for everything, I've learned so much watching your channel.
Quick question: I've had a 2 month old puppy with me for a week now, but my kennel only came in yesterday. She's been sleeping on our bedroom floor and didn't look too keen on her new place. Is it too late to crate train her and get her to sleep there, after a whole week of "freedom"?
Wow..she's a smart one..and cute♥️
you should try to make the crate a little bit more cosy for her I saw one youtuber when she got her puppy she put hot warm bottle looked like a teddy bear :D and lot of soft blankets
I'm so happy I have found these videos, I have just been given a 7 week old pomeranian not trained or anything and I had no idea what to do, the 1st 2 nights was pretty bad but watching these videos has helped and I managed to get biscuit (that his name) to sleep all night on the floor next to my bed on his bed as I havent got a crate yet but I will soon. I cant wait for the next video on how to stop the barking and biting
You might not know, but at 7 weeks, he should have still been with his mother, 8 weeks is the absolute earliest puppies should be adopted out. Good luck with your new puppy you've come to the right place to learn! Also @kikopup (trainer Emily Larlham) has really good videos.
@@NyreeAlana I rescued him from another family, I have no idea how they got him but they had him for 3 weeks before I took him as they were going to put him in a box next to a public bin because it wasnt doing as it was told 🤦♀️ he has spent most of those 3 weeks in a dog carry bag thing at a construction yard because no one wanted him at home.
@@Leanne-Lea OMG poor little guy! 😢 Well he's safe with you now ❤️
7:24 that streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch is the cutest thing ever
Awesome 😍❤️❤️❤️
Hi Zak, great channel just started following you after we have just got our new puppy “BARRY” 12 week Goldendoodle. We live in the UK, can you recommend any uk sites that are like PUPbox? They only appear to service the US.
Hi Zak! Do you recommend a specific brand or type of harness for an adult dog? We have a goldendoodle that we would like to get a new harness for as she has outgrown her puppy one. Thanks!
Have you maybe considered geting Inertia to lay down next to the crate, next to Veronika? My 7mon old puppy is really good when I leave her alone with our 5 year old Malinoa, otherwise she barks very much, just like little Veronica
hey zak, i love your videos and was just wondering if you’re going to be introducing veronica to angela at some point, and if you will it be part of a video?
Thank you so much for making this. I literally just got a totally untrained puppy myself
What is the brand of Veronicas turquoise harness?
How long should a training session be and how many per day? Thx
Thank you for these videos!
So helpful!
Hey Zak, idea for a training series. A level 1 energy dog. Low energy and low motivation. Im a dog trainer for Petco and learning under my mentor, it was always a struggle training these dogs. I try to have patience and find what motivates them but sometimes they lose interest after 2 mins into training.
@Blond_bowie has been with me since last monday and she has the same issue with the crate as the pulpy in this video. I made a video of our first attempt, which is really funny. My second attempt last night was horror. Even gave me nightmares, the poor boy. I have tried too long and he was really anxious. This video makes me hopefully. I have watched many of your videos and love you guys! Thank you! He is perfect in all the other exercises.
What are the square chewy treas you give her?
I like how she is not just scarfin it down fast!
Hey zack I dont know if your a gamer but there is a dog trainer simulator that's coming out soon you can get various dog breeds and the dog training series that you do you do on CZcams you cand do it it with a virtual dog such as border collie for inertia, German shepherd for moria and so on would love to see this
Thank you for these videos! I love your positive and loving training style. How do I train two puppy siblings? Do I lock one away while training the other? Or try training them together?
The first seems cruel, either if they are in another room or in a crate watching. The latter seems like a recipe for disaster!
Grateful for your guidance 🙏
Not cruel if they're comfortable in that spot. It's good for them to learn to be away from each other sometimes, so that they don't get anxious if one has to go to the vet, etc. or if one needs to work on different training than the other one does.
@@kaclama Good points! Thank you. I suppose I'm a bit anxious about messing them up for life 😅
@@Nessa2Bea Yes, at first, it's a really good idea to train them separately. You can train them together once they've started to "get" the lessons. Then you've got the whole "litter mate syndrome" thing. Some people say you shouldn't have litter mates--that they won't bond with you, just be bonded to each other. I've had litter mates sand did not find that to hold water, but it is good for them to be apart for a little time each day. And you're going to make mistakes along the way. But I can almost guarantee you're aren't going to "mess them up for life"! Stick with positive methods and you'll have a great relationship with your dogs, even if you make some mistakes along the way.
@@janhankins911 Thank you for the encouragement 🙏. I look forward to the point when I can train them together, but you're right, I do want them to have a healthy independence from one another.
The little vest...is it a necessity and what does it help with?
I love all of these videos and feel that I have learned an enormous amount. But I do wonder about the criticisms from other dog trainers that these methods won't work with dogs that have aggression issues with other dogs or humans. I am hoping that Zak can demonstrate that positive methods work even with dogs that have these issues.
I think dogs learn quickly 🥰
Please continue the separation training, I need help with that!!
0:33 Cute Bark!
Bree is the cutest
My rescue dog has separation anxiety. It we don’t know where loyalty takes over. When we first got him, we would leave the house and it was non stop barking. Now he settles after 15-20mins so it’s progress but still…!
Hi Zack I’m an old subscriber here. I just want to ask what should I do to my puppy she’s loosing her fur? It started when she accidentally ate my kitty’s food twice it was a sardines after that her fur started to lose. Hope you notice my comment. More power and subscribers to your channel.
Veronica is just adorable! 😍
how long of a leash do you use -and when do you use it? At home in the yard it looks like?
YES this is more like how my dog behaves with crate, okay if eating but as soon as food is done he done and wants OUT
Waking up at almost 8am!!!! That's incredible I wish my dog would sleep in that late 😭
Omg I love Veronica.
I have an 8 year old German Shepherd she is a guard dog but at times especially at night she barks alot. She barks at moon light, rain, maybe annoying birds and boredom. I tell her to be quiet ( only lasts 5 minutes sometimes) and alot of times it frustrates me as I like to get some sleep too. I can't win when I have a cat waking me up 2am for attention or for food ( she gets fed around 4 am)
What type of vest is your puppy wearing?
May I ask what’s the chewing treat you gave her in the minute 11:00?
Question for you: our 8 mo old pup was previously sleeping through the night but now starts crying halfway through like Veronica did. We make sure she has all her needs taken care of (energy, pee/poo, water, food etc), but she seems to have started a negative association with the crate because she’s kept in there at night. During these periods when we are working to regain the positive association, how should we let her sleep? Outside of the crate?
Zak how do you train your dog to settle down when they want to run around your house.( FYI this will be after training and play.) I just need her to sometimes not play with my older dog.
Is it harder to balance training and calorific surplus with small dogs?
I just adopted a rescue Pug, but he’s not a puppy. He’s about 2 yrs old according to the vet. His foster taught him to sit and be comfortable with the crate, but not much else. Should I start with ‘leave it’?
I tried a slow feeding bowl. By the second meal my 10 week old Goldendoodle figured out how to flip it over and dump the kibble out all over the floor. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm back to hand feeding to keep him eating too fast.
Hey Zak, do you have advice for someone getting a new puppy who can’t take time off work to slowly ease them into being alone? I don’t work super long hours, only about 6 hours a day Monday - Friday. I’m worried about leaving her in her crate all day and what kind of anxiety will develop from it
I'm trying to find a video of a little terrier dogs being trained to leave cats alone. We adopted an amazing 1 yr old jack russell (still intact) who was great with previous owner's cats but if given the chance, he's going after mine like they're stuffed animals. We already booked his surgery and been clicker training him, exercise, play, etc, but please tell me the neuter surgery will do the trick! 😥
What do you free your dogs
I had to go back to see if I had missed how long you've had her for. Could you maybe announce that every video, how long you've had her and her age? I remember with your foster episodes that I would be shocked when you'd say something like 'we've had him for 3 weeks 'and it had been so many episodes already. ;)
Me too I think I'm really surprised 😯🥰🥰💖
Does covering the crate half way work for her? I’ve noticed dogs are more willing to like a crate when it’s covered
