Good video. One thing though is that positive punishment isn’t always physical force as you said. It’s simply adding an aversive as a result of behavior
Didn’t like the first video I watched of yours, not going to lie, (forgot which one it was), but this one is good and so are a couple of others I’ve watched also. You have a lot of good knowledge and information for dog owners. I train dogs also, though some of my methods may be slightly different. There are…….some things I don’t agree with on some of the videos, but…… There will always be some things trainers don’t agree on. Good video though.
hey my 8 month old (i think) isint interested in toys or play fetch how to i correct this
@zakgeorge21 I WANT MORE TRICK VIDS TOO!!!! thumbs up if you want more trick vids people!!!! TRICKS TRICKS TRICKS YAY!!!
You’re type of training is very popular in sweden, and I know a lot of people here who are really opposed to methods similar to Ceasar Milan. The biggest animal rights-group here recently had a big artikle on dog training methods, and talked about why psitive reinforcement is the best, it was great, and really opened my eyes! Keep up the good work, and keep posting videos! / Ingrid, Sweden.
cnt’d … rather than point fingers at those with a lesser understanding. Clicker trainers (me), cite Pryor et al, yet Pryor couldn’t utilize clicker/whistle without first restricting the access and freedom of the marine mammals she trained. Skinner used boxes to limit the freedom of his rats and the Bailey’s used confinement in their abczoo exhibits. We might choose to call it ‘environmental control’ – but it is STILL punitive to the animal concerened! Educate – don’t criticize!! takethelead!
@sdsunshiness I absolutely agree with you. I just feel that honesty is the best policy and will take the wind from the sails of choke/shock/pinch/slip/physically over-bearing trainers. The point that should be made clearer in order to put this ‘them ‘n’ us’ argument to bed forever, is that everybody and everything on earth depends on ‘punishment’ in order to understand and appreciate ‘reinforcement’. Physical ‘pain’ is the ultimate ‘no-no’; not punishment. We should promote education .. cntd
@taketheleadvideo
true, but i understand why trainers would emphasise the point of not using punishment for dog training b/c there are too many ignorant dog owners who think they should physically punish a dog.
@ I think trainers waste too much time trying to prove how ‘non-punitive’ their methods are (and i’m absolutely reinforcement driven). If you stop when your dog pulls; or turn the other way, if you place your dog in a seperate room to momentarily calm over exuberance, if you withold a treat to increase duration or incrementally shape behaviours – You are still using punishment to achieve your training goals (hitting the end of lead, isolation and discontinuation of expectancy). Life is punitive!
@sdsunshiness This is where the major confusion lies in dog training circles. Question – what constitutes punishment? Answer – anything the dog will work to avoid. This includes the presentation of something unpleasant; or the removal of something pleasant. Whether we call it ‘discipline’, ‘manners’ ‘rules’ boundaries’ ‘parenting’ ‘leadership’ ‘obedience’ – whatever – we’re simply playing with words. If it involves anything designed to make the dog rethink a behaviour; it is punishment!.. cnt’d
@Ixxithedog Really nice thing to say. Thank you.

Hi Zak,
I appreciate the “spirit” that your dogs display…the eagerness – and your understanding.
Re: your criticisms of Cesar M’s notions…your ideas could be the more important regarding the dog pack notion vs. human/dog behavioral/signal integration .
However, I found SOME of Cesar’s body language display method transforms bothersome behavior … e.g. front door “racing/mad barking” became alerting me, then following quietly to door, all within door interaction 1- 5.

Hey Zak!
Esteemed Stanford Professor Robert Sapolski gives support to your evolutionary view of how dogs have evolved to “read” us.

as a pre school teacher, i like the word “discipline” instead of “punishment”. Discipline is teaching & can be done w/positive & negative enforcement. when my dog does what he knows is not o.k., i send him outside 4 a few min. i think thats good to let him know he doesn’t get house privleges if he’s going to misbehave in the house. i think it also makes a big difference depending on what behavior they did that was incorrect, if it was accidental or defiant. tone of voice means a lot to them 2
I cant say this enough, you are my absolute favorite dog trainer out there, cause you use both logic and common sense, and understand the dogs as dogs, not as some study they learned in a book (not that most do, but sometimes you get the feeling of it). //Maria, Sweden.
Do you have any tips for making a dog leave the garbage can alone? I try to keep it in the closet but the garbage is usually necessary in the kitchen lol. She knows “leave it” but she is just obsessed with the garbage; when I tell her no or to leave it she will walk away from it but is there any way I can get her to stop sticking her head in there in the first place? I’d rather not buy a new one btw…
love your channel its helped me so much with my 1yr Chihuahua..I recently moved and change has been very hard on him..he poops and pee’s in my bed when I leave and i’m tired of washing my sheets everyday lol I have roomates and I don’t wanna kennel him cuz he’ll whine is there any tips you can give me? thank you soo much in advance

@GypsyagilityBC44444 Sorry
i have a question, i have a dachshund, and ive had him since last september. my mom has him useing like puppy pads to use to go to the bathroom on. i want to teach him to go out side but i take him out all the time and he wont go out side and when we get back in side he just goes on the pad. do you know what i should do?
Amazing video Zak. No matter what anybody says…you’re giving time out of your day to give us FREE information when you don’t even have to. Thanks so much for all you do. Training video or information video….either way we still learn more then we did before we came here. Thanks!
@SapphireM The fact that you are ‘directing’ implies that you are controlling – it isn’t what the dog would voluntarily choose to do – it is put upon the dog to do so, whether for a biscuit, a ‘cuddle’ or whatever. Zak talks of ‘parenting’ – i have 4 kids – parents punish – it’s unavoidable – just as the glare of the sun hurts your eyes and teaches you not to look directly at it. Life is based entirely upon positves and negatives – opposites – without one; there is no other! do i sound wierd!!?
@SapphireM That’s EXACTLY my point!!!!!! – We all have to punish if we are to alter or modify a behaviour! I just wonder how right it is to put ourselves up as being ‘positive’ trainers, when we punish (albeit not physically) like anyone else!?
cnt’d … After a while, the punishment gets replaced by positive reinforcement (the feeding or verbal praise) and we can then claim to be training purely through positive reinforcement – but it still has it’s foundations in a punitive consequence!! I suppose what i’m saying is that if we are all TRULY HONEST, there is an element of punishment in ALL training – unfortunately! That said, there is absolutely no place for physical chastisement in modern animal training!
@taketheleadvideo The dog is directed to lay away from the table…not go to the bed (I don’t do crates for house trained dogs) as a get away or as a punishment… to send a dog to it’s refuge as a punishment seems bizarre to me so again I am confused about the idea of a time out
@superduperhunter16 you gotta use a slingshot….shoot him in the ass with it and i guarantee he wont run off again
@Totsieana Yes.
what a lovely dog! I hope he received lots of treats and a warm blanket after this! well done!
@superduperhunter16 While practicing, tie him to a short stake in the ground until he gets the hang of it more. You can also practice with him in a kennel first, then open door when you want him to go. He won’t be taking off that way til you get more training in him.
Hey I have a two year old yellow lab and he’s an animal when it comes to hunting,but this last season he started to break on me. Even a shock collar wont get his ass to stay. I got on him about it but he still tends to break if I come up to shoot really fast. Any tips???
