We got a rescue puppy and within 2 weeks she was outside potty trained.
I used the bell method. I put a bell on the door handle, which i rang each time before we went outside. When she went potty, she got lots of praise.
Within 2 weeks she understood that ringing the bell was her way to tell us she needed to go out.
Shes two now, the bell is gone but she gives us a little woof to let us know.
Nice! Well done and congratulations!
I was thinking of doing that trick! I am getting a puppy fairly soon and hoping that idea works. Thanks for saying this!
@@user-go5de5mn7l welcome!! It worked for us, I hope it works for you too!!
Just got a new puppy. Never trained my own dog before. I have watched so many videos and I really like yours. Thank you for the great info!
Love, love, love Bark Box!! It changed our home, our relationship with our dog and her's with our children!!
Same! It’s a quality product.
Thanks Zak... you're the best!
Hi Zak. I like your tips and tricks. Its very much effective. I love it. I subscribed you.
Really good, thorough video! Great work! And it's fun to see the dogs again. Shade looks like he came along wonderfully, & cheers for Veronica & Shade playing together so well. Inertia, as always, rules. Kudos to you & Bree!
Thank you very much!
I love Zac's videos. If I close my eyes it's like Dug (the dog) from Up is teaching other dogs good behaviour. "It's funny because the squirrel gets dead"
We have our new 9 week old puppy for a week and a half now. We gave too much room to explore and had lots of accidents, now narrowing that. I feel we’ve already set bad habits, can we still correct those after she’s used to our mistakes? ie not taking her out enough, no crate except at night (she can go eight hours at night) cries in crate during the day if we even try. So glad I found your channel! 😊
OMG that puppy is gorgeous!!!
Thanks!
I am using a bell but only our older dog knows how to use it. Our younger dog just stands by the door thank you for explaining the signs. My dog sometimes gives me them and I never knew why. I will look out for them now! Thank you!
Thanks for another info-packed video, Zak, Shade looked like he was in heaven while Inertia was pinning him 😂
Thanks for the video - you're so right, even for experienced owners it can be tough: We adopted a 7 yo dog who'd never lived inside a house (retired breeding Beagle) and we'd potty train her for weeks; next to no accidents. But sure enough, even right after pottying outside, she'd come in the house and, lightening-fast, squat down for a little spray of pee, which I interpret as a marking behavior (especially as we have 2 other dogs). Catching THAT any time before it's too late is hard, as she doesn't interrupt her Beagling-around behavior for more than an estimated second to squat down.
What if your dog gives no signs at all that they need to go? Our dog will be playing and then just stands and pees.
Remain observant. Sometimes those signs are very very subtle. Furthermore, preemptively take your dog out before those signs emerge. Relying on a dog who is too young to communicate to you they have to go out is an easy mistake to make. We don’t rely on babies and diapers to notify us that they have to go for example. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
It felt like this to us as well when we got our girl.. But we took her out every 30 minutes (I set an alarm for that so I would remember) and that really helped reduce the accidents. And over time we started to notice her signs. Subtle but they were there.
Good luck to you with your pup! It's a difficult time (not just because of potty training..) but in the end it's so worth it. We relied heavily on Zak's videos with all her training. She just turned 1 year old and I couldn't imagine life without her anymore. Yes, we are still not out of puberty, but most days she is an absolute dream!
yeah we have a 8 week old GWP and she goes stealth pee mode so now I almost have to be the stalker dad just following her around looking for signs
I am really struggling with finding rewards for my puppy. He has a very sensitive stomach and so far the only thing he’s been able to eat is just his kibble and he does chew on a bully stick but I can’t find treats for him. Do you have a recommendation for treats? Should I just stick to basic meats like cooked chicken or turkey? Do you use just the meat section foods or use like meat from the deli? Thank you so much! We have a baby Rottweiler and I am trying to make sure he starts off as good as possible and are using all of your videos for training. So far he’s been the BEST puppy I’ve ever seen in my life. Thank you for these free videos! They are lifesavers!
Just brought home an 8 week toy poodle. She is teeny tiny. Don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for your videos! Wish you were in Maine!
Same here . Mine isn’t interested in treats eat
New Sub!!! we just rescued a pit bull puppy, she's 10 weeks old on Sunday. I already taught her how to walk down the front porch stairs. We're working on walking UP. She can get to 2 stairs inside the house, like a good girl. She also has learned NO, AND SIT. Thank you for this. My dog is on my FYP/shorts. I needed this video for potty training. I haven't had a dog since my Buddy died in 2016ish...My Sasha still has accidents. I have cats too, thank you for the tip on the urine cleaner.
Hey we are in the same boat! I adopted a Rottweiler puppy who is also 10 weeks old on Sunday! Was yours also born 1/28? How cool!! Love this channel!
Looking forward to a podcast with you and Robert!!
It'll never happen.
All our dogs understood the let’s go out and go potty. We had one smart GSD where if we weren’t paying attention when she needed to have the door opened she would actually come and grab your hand and pull you. She was so funny she’d do her business then spin her wheels and she was done. That dog though; we got her from our good friends and neighbors just down the road at 7 weeks old. She was one of 12 and I spent 2 weeks before she was home with us running over every day where I would put her in the bottom of Hanks 16 ft aluminum boat and feed her boiled chicken livers. That dog if she made 2 messes that was about it. But I was a kid at home and I would run her out every 4 hours. There was only one time where I had to grab her when she made a mistake early on. The whole house was linoleum except the carpet in the living room. She went in past the doorway and thought it was grass under her feet and started to squat. Dogs like kids when you start; they don’t know or understand anything. That’s the keepers job to teach them. It’s surprising how fast they can pick things up when you remember they can’t speak or talk with you but they can show you. I did this first with this dog and also my last one. I taught them to ask for what they want by giving the paw. I did that with food stuff. Mainly to avoid a food thief. If they asked politely 99% of the time they got what was asked for. That dog loved chicken. I took once when we had to run to town; I put 3 drumsticks right at the edge of the counter. She never touched or took them. But I sure got asked when we got home. She got all three, without the bones of course. This last dog when I tried this it was really fast how quickly he understood. It’s a bit like taking and showing a young child that can’t speak yet how to be able to ask for what they want using a hand gesture.
4:21 I love that you said this, because that's happened a few times. First week with my new puppy, 13 weeks old. I have like, a 3 second warning that she's about to pee 😂 Still learning, but she's learning. I've been taking her out 15 minutes every hour, and it's tedious but it has limited the accidents.
Thank You Zak! I’m getting a pomsky puppy in just 4 days and I can’t believe what good timing this is. 🙏
Zak, I know your a busy man. I Love this video and others. I have a puppy 6 months old who is still very excited when he eats. I have tried many things including a slow feeder bowl. Now I have taught him to wait until I put the bowl down and say OK then he will eat but fast.
I could really use some tips for this. .. I have tried to hand feed also. Thank you for any advice..
My baby Chuchu will walk to the door and look at me. Another GS girl Simone would give a bark or just came to me. They always give a sign and we just need to see to understand them ❤
Hey Zak!!! Could you do a video about socializing dogs who weren’t socialized with other dogs in their first year? I have a chihuahua who’s my first dog, and we’re struggling a lot. He’s very reactive to other dogs, and he’s my first dog. I didn’t realize how important socializing him was. I really want to fix this problem but I’m at a loss. Thanks for everything!!
I love how when Veronica runs grass flys up😂😂😂😂
My female dog goes in the garden during the day and never has accidents during the day. She goes out before bed at 10 at night but since the winter started she can’t hold it during the night. However she is good at using the puppy pads. I put a row of 3 pads down just in front of the sofa and she uses one or two. Sometimes none!
So it’s not a big problem except for the expense. And she is worse in wet weather because she doesn’t like rain.
I mention that the dog is a female because over the years my experience of many dogs suggests that dogs have better bladder control.
I love your training videos. I have an older dog who is well house trained. I am going to have her stay with my father while I'm on vacation, but he just had an accident that has made his mobility tough. I hired a dog walker, but I'm trying to cover the first thing in the morning need to go out. His distance to outside is significant and he may not be able to dress himself and take her out in such a way that she doesn't have an accident along the way.
I want to try in the next two months to get her used to using a pee patch on the balcony. Any tips for that?
I'm just finding your channel, because
I am getting a new puppy. Do you still offer your 30 day free guide?
That's exactly what happened to me with a dog I just rescued. Second day I took her for a walk, she didn't poop. As we were going up the stairs(3 flights), she stopped on the second and refused to go any farther. We walked past the other apartments to the other end of the staircase and reluctantly went up the 3rd floor Not 2 minutes into the house she went into the spare room and pooped. Rookie mistake on my part. But she is teaching me so much!!
Your videos are awesome! I really need help with my daughter's 11 lb mini doodle. She was attacked by a full grown German shepherd and she's been an anxious barking growling stressball ever since. She's fully recovered and playful on her own, but freaks out over any animal or dog near her no matter how slow we try to socialize. Any tips would be so appreciated!
Hey Zak could you make a video about anxious, fearful and cautious dogs?
Mine was born this way, she's had no bad experiences since we've had her at 9 weeks, but she's still very nervous around people and big sounds. I think she may always be a little bit like this, but perhaps there's some tricks to help her gain confidence?
I have 2 dogs. One is 10 and the other, 17 months. One of these stinkers pees in the pantry. I haven’t been able to catch who the culprit is so I bought a security camera. Both went to the vet who did kidney function tests etc. They’re both fine. Stinkers 🐾❤️
I am getting a puppy in about 3 weeks, and I am hoping to get a few tips on potty training a dog. I was thinking of the bell trick to teach the puppy when we go outside.
Zak, I have a puppy who is not yet fully vaccinated (he’s 8 weeks) and I live in an apartment with no real lawn. Because parvo is low in my area we have decided to just take him out to only one spot to potty train to limit risk. The problem is he wants to walk further and I worry that the space limitation is causing him not go. He will be about to pee inside but once brought outside he holds his bladder for 20> minutes only to go as soon as he’s indoors. We felt that waiting until 16 weeks to go outside to train would be detrimental to learning to potty train. How old do you start letting them out and what would you do with an 8 week old puppy if you didn’t have a private back yard?
Is there an app you recommend? Thanks
I love your chanle
Hey Zak I was wondering how do you feel about the dog park?
My pup was accident free at 9 weeks 3 days old, I stayed paranoid and vigilant until he was 6 months.
I would never want to potty train a puppy without a garden. We spent most of the day outside in the garden in the first weeks. I'm fairly sure that set him up for success. Especially since he wouldn't pee or poop on walks before he was 4-5 months old.
Great job!
Zack, what is your take on littermate’s syndrome? I am thinking of getting 2 4 month old Bichons from the same litter but I’ve read that it’s not recommended. Thank you.
Could you give any advice for 3 chihuahuas that have lived in the same home for 6 years are randomly now getting into fights one on one when near my husband or I? I know its a possesive behavior but im just not sure why nothing else has changed thats its happening now? Nor do i know how to stop other than to just keep them seperated. (2 males & 1 female, all altered) If you end up seeing this, thank you for your time 💜🥹
I got a new Frenchie Puppy recently, and my 7yr old frenchie and her get a long. but it can be a cartoon cloud of dust at times. the older dog will play and then will want to stop and the puppy doesnt understand its time to chill now. My older dog has been showing new behaviors like randomly getting on top of me and my roommate while we lay down, or now sleeping on pillows above our heads. Is there an easy way to teach the puppy to chill out when her sister decides that she has had enough? the most i have been able to do it just put the puppy in a time out area she cant not leave. removing her from the situation appears to work as a solution to a symptom but not a solution to the underlying problem.
I have a 3 month old shepherd mix and she will hold her pee and poo on a walk til I bring her back inside and she goes to immediately pee on my balcony( since I used that when she was much smaller). But now I’m trying to get her to go outside and she just will not go. I would actually wait outside for an hour. Also is there a way to train your puppy to “tell” you when they need to go? Like a bell or button?
We have had our dog for a little over a month and is 7 months old. We have had so much trouble in potty training. We keep puppy pads in the house because of accidents and we have carpet. We have tried every in the video except we don’t have a fenced in yard.
My wife and I recently picked a puppy from the dumb Friends League. The puppy is a very playful good dog but has no training all and the thing is that the representatives at the dumb Friends League said that she could not go outside for at least 3 weeks because she has not had her full vaccinations yet. So what recommendations could you give to us in trying to potty train our dog inside the house without going outside for a while?
the barkbox link does not work. i even spoke to customer service about it, and they said that it is not a valid link/code.
😄My girl used to sneak upstairs to the attic for her business . Now she still pees at the vet , though ( or maybe because ) she loves going there . 🙈
My dog is approaching 4 years old and we have worked tirelessly to get him house trained. Puppy pads were probably the worse things we could have used. Unfortunately, he does spend time between households and I am sure this causes issue for him to be consistent. Is there hope for him? Limiting his water intake?
Assuming we are not dealing with a medical issue, taking a step back and being more consistent and regularly letting your dog out once an hour or so for the interim is what I would recommend.
Honestly potty training was a breeze nearly. My main issue is this little land shark won’t quit biting me 😩 best advice for stopping nipping and such in a herding dog ?
Coming soon! But I do have a wealth of information available on that topic already if you would like to do a search for Zak George puppy biting
I correct it accordingly. But this is an r+ channel 😂 i guess give it a few months to a year maybe it'll eventually stop. I just correct it initially and give an approved chewing/biting item.
Yep same here. I had my GSD corrected right away as a puppy and she now has such a soft mouth and is so gentle with our 1 year old daughter @@joyfulk9services
When we got our puppy, she seemingly peed constantly. I'm taking about 10 to 30 minutes... Turns out she had an infection, so yeah. Vet is a good call if you're unsure 😅
After that i took her out every 30 minutes (with an alarm so i wouldn't forget) and if i felt like she was too distracted and might have had to go but didn't, I'd go back inside but take her back out 5 minutes later. Often that did the trick.
And yes, she knows "go pee" and "go poo" and listens to that 😊 We always get comments from people who never even heard of that being possible 😂
when will we see espisode 7?
what do I do if my dog isn't interested in playing?
Zack, i am having dog problems since j took my second dog, a months ago i decided to start recording because I was planning to ask for help, because I don't know what to do.
So i create a channel here on CZcams and posted the videos there.
I really would like if you or your team watch the problems i am facing and made a video about what can i do to improve my dogs behavior.
I am gonna post the link to the video as a response to this video.
Tks.

He won't answer you. He only responds to people telling him how great he is.
I am using a bell but only our older dog knows how to use it. Our younger dog just stands by the door thank you for explaining the signs. My dog sometimes gives me them and I never knew why. I will look out for them now! Thank you!😁😁😁😁
Don't waste your time asking questions here. As you can see, they will all go unanswered. Look at his other videos. He never answers questions for help. He just wants you to watch the videos so he gets revenue. Look at all the unanswered questions below.
My 11month old puppy doesn’t pee or poop when I take him outside. He just lies down and eats grass. Help!
Sorry, what exactly are the benefits of hands free....? I really hate attaching a dog to me outside... and any leash guidance isn't accurate timing i find.
Dog daddy teaches this better! Zak is a rookie teacher
Agreed. I'm sure all he does is make videos that he edits & re edits to fit his agenda so it looks like his " training" works. Funny you never see him do live classes with dogs like Dog Daddy does and there are no client testimonials to be found ANYWHERE.
What happened to the puppy. There have been no updates anymore
what does 'updated for 2024' even mean? Did dogs get patched?
I am always coming up with newer and better ideas for everyone!
@@zakgeorge 💖
In other words, Zak got patched. 😁
Over the air updates
I like the look of the hands free leash but if you have a puller or a reactive dog, you're gonna go flying
People are too concerned with their phones to be good dog trainers.
Hi I do you have a dog
Don't know why Joel Beckman is so against positive reinforcement.
He isn't. He's against using positive reinforcement only. By definition you cannot get rid of unwanted behaviours with positive reinforcement.
Anyone following this channel is misguided. Zak only has a PetSmart certificate which any of you could get too. Try to find even one testimonial of a dog he has trained. You won't be able to lol.
How to potty train your puppy fast!
Take it outside constantly. When he goes then mark it with something positive. Over time he will learn to hold it.
This guys talks so much crap about real trainers that actually give out real info but it takes him months to release this garbage 14 minutes lol.
It should just be common sense 😅
if you had any credibility it's all but gone as you keep on with your vicious attacks on Dog Daddy and other trainers. Cant make your own way so have to put others down.Pathetic
A malinois will dominate this guy for weak training
Deprecation of an expected reward is punishment- stop spreading the lie that you are “positive only”.
Removing a reinforcing stimulus is actually negative reinforcement and wouldn’t be in the punishment quadrant. Punishment implies the stimulus is aversive.
@@lindsaypalmer6434 Negative reinforcement is also not “ positive” only. Is it?
very disappointed in your cnn appearance. while i fully adopt your approach with dogs. i even bought your book. you used the apperance to continue fighting dog trainers with different approaches that you and i disagree with. there are millions of people who are saying what noem did was right. the dog was dangerous. it killed chicken and bit the owner. on a farm this cannot be and therefore killing the dog was the right thing to do. all dog trainers need to come together here and tell america that this is wrong. we own and train dogs, because we love them. that should be enough to overcome the differences. not to belittle these differences, but when confronted with the idea of normalizing shooting puppies for being puppies or shooting goats for being goats we need to come together.
