  • thats the name of my dog.. and she is a pitbull too

  • Awww. That Mastiffe mix was half naked! Lol.

  • I have an Aussie and we have only had him for a little bit,but he's 6 months old,but for some reason,when I take him out to meet other dogs to play,he runs away and is scared. I have no idea how to get him over the fear.

  • Retriever have this in their blood to bring stuff back, even shot down birds, they won't even eat them.

  • dicktits suck my asshole

  • nice vid but first teach your dog to fetch and than to catch a frisbee...

  • all this is nice, but few months ago I wrote to you even from my email ..you never answered .I do not blame u if u have so many folks asking u for advice ..and anyway I dont even have a Frisbee here. we have one bit crap only.So i cant train my dog..I will think of using pick-nick plastic plates :).

  • beautiful, wonderful *zoom in on ass*

  • i didn't have to teach my dog he just have always done it :)

  • thought this was elijah wood for a second

  • 4:20 LOL SO CUTE!!

  • i'd really love to adopt a dog, they seem like so much fun and a great way to keep active.

  • that bernard/mastiff mix didn't look so big....until it got next to those pitbulls/boxer o.o

  • JUST WONDERING IF I WAS REALLY 2 MINUTES LATER :)

  • what about rottweilers you dont train them?

  • No not Venus just alpha and supernova. The one with supernova really made me laugh!

  • I love your personifications of alpha, supernova, and Venus! They are all so cute and you portray them perfectly!

  • I love how you showed that the learning process takes time. I also love it when you use dogs that don't already know the behavior youre trying to teach. Videos like this give me hope!! Thanks- keep it up!

  • My girl would fetch sticks, one after the other, and dump them in the woods.

  • you should through a frisbe through that yellow tube 5:35 that would be so cool!!!

  • i will pay a lot of money to join your class!!

  • LOL Your voiceovers for your dogs are the best.

  • lol I'm sorry but I wouldn't really call that playing lol the white and black dog is try to "get some" of the callie or cally whatever that girls dog is lol

  • You sir, rock. Gonna try this with my puppy after work at the local park. thank you!

  • hahaha i pretend my dog talks to me in silly russian voices

    

  • how do i teach my dog to make me a sandwitch?

  • Is that brown pitbull the one from the previous video on teaching them the Listen command? gosh, they grow up so fast...

  • @TheGuitarJesse Give ur dog a toy touch the ground and say drop don't give them a treat till they drop it or hold up another toy say drop and when they see the new toy they will drop the old one and learn the trick drop

  • But what if your dog brings it to you but he wont drop it?

    does someone know how to let your dog drop the toy (or something else) that they brought to you?

  • would i be able to train my dog that i am going to adopt to play frisbee? she is a 25 pound beagle/lab/schnauzer/border collie

  • How do you control a dog's intensity level? My dog becomes extremely intense when the frisbees come out!

  • 15 people who clicked "i don't like" need a psicologist..and a good one

  • .,AND THE chihuahua was like HE,,,HEE,,HEEEY! im the ALPHA DOG HERE!!!

  • could tennis balls work just as well?

  • LOL! At the end... the chiwawa was running with the bull dogs funny!

  • you're amazing with dogs :)

  • Zack, what happens when the chasing games between lik 3 or 4 dog going to be too excessive? Sometimes I see a couple of dogs playing and playing and after a little time they are stresses and sometimes they try to be the alpha dog.

  • Thanks for the video. It really helps. However, it would be better to keep the video brief and straight to the point. I'm pretty sure people are not interested in the extra conversation that are not related with teaching the dog.

  • Feel bad for the chihuahua he/she is so left out nd scared !

  • :( felt bad for the dog at 4:20 with wheels for legs...

  • I wish we had a dogpark. How cool. I would luv to know how to teach my dog how to leave treat on his nose.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My dog loves you. I told Sarah MacLamara Durkee, my Border Collie,"Please pay more attention to me and less to him". She knows better. She said, "Take your meds and pay attention to both of us." If you and your boyfriend (s), girlfriend(s) or dog (s) (or any combination of the three) are ever in Hollywood, Ca., please visit. All of you can have the bed.  Don

  • lol you're funny you should do voices for dogs haha

  • 1:24 he sounds like Ernie from george lopez

  • get somr friends

  • how do you teach your dog to drop the frisby? coz my friends dog seems to hold onto it and not wanna let go O:

  • @zDreamerkid get a dog treat and put it to his nose to see if he would want the treat or toy then keep repeating it

  • Mine just runs away with it...

  • now all i need is to get my dog to give the toy easiy!

  • my dog 5 yers old how to tech hem to fetch he is just lay and do nothing lol [;_:]

  • she's fixed wtf whas wrong whet here??

  • you have very cute dogs and very good methods to train them!!

  • I wish I could get my dog to get my wallet for me.

    Do you think it's possible?

  • @BambinoDoll Don't. The Dog Might See the Money in the Wallet and talk in Dog Voice: "Gold! Must Have it!" Then Steal your Cash. Keep Cash Away from Dogs

  • @KlockoBlockland Alright thank you :3

  • @BambinoDoll It is possible, they can even take it out of your back pocket and give it to you. Money doesn't mean anything to a dog

  • I like this one as I am always telling people that if they really want to understand their pups just sit back and watch them play and interact with other dogs.

    The way they use body language to communicate with each other can really help us to understand how they think

  • my dog is not very interested in frisbees... Not even squeak toys! I'm thinking of putting a dab of peanut butter on her frisbee, would that be a good idea? I don't want my dog interested in her frisbee only if it has peanut butter on it, someone help me Dx

  • You ROCK! Thanks so much for all of the tips!!!

  • I really wish your show was still on tv! I had such an interest in it!

  • it takes the vidio to long to get to the point

  • This helped me a lot I kept picking it up and throwing it finnaly corrected my mistake

  • he was drunk last nite 0-17 lol

  • More dog tricks LESS TALKING! Jeeze guy, it's really annoying!

  • This guy is so much better than expertvillage ... no offense intended.

  • your a tool

  • the chihuaha is a badass

  • zak where is your 3 collies

  • who's that blonde???

  • @MrTomkaboy his girl friend

  • I have a dumb question. Let me set up the background, here. My dog is SUPER observant. I'm noticing that when he sees me add a new move to our "routine" he begins to rely on it as part of the trick. For instance, when I begin to move the object, he relies on that as a 'step' in the process. Throw, chase, drop, [i kick it around] and then he grabs it. Does that make sense? Any pointers? :)

  • @JaraAnton I'm not affiliated with this video, but I can tell you what he would probably do. What he's teaching in this video is how to shape behavior, in order to withdraw yourself from needing to prompt your dog you need to use something called "fading."

    Fading is when you use less prompting and less prompting until none is needed. So, if your dog needs you to kick the frisbee around before he picks it up, then use progressively smaller kicks until you are just tapping the disk.

  • @JaraAnton Then to just one tap, then to motioning with your foot, and so on.

    Obviously your dog might get it without all these steps, but what's really important in fading is never to go faster than your dog can understand.

    So let's say you're down to just tapping the disk and your dog is coming along swimmingly, however you move from several taps to just one and your dog suddenly looses interest and comprehension and the behavior you want isn't being executed.

  • @JaraAnton On the next try you immediately go back to the last step he understood and follow it through to completion. Then on the try after than you maybe use one less tap than before, and so on. It's important to go back to where your dog last understood.

    ANYWAY, I feel soooo long winded. I learned this for my work helping with behavioral modification at a home for the developmentally disabled. But don't worry, this works with everyone. Including dogs, kids, and coworkers. >.>

  • hmm... i manage to train it to bring the ball back.. but he wouldnt let go. =( how do i make it give me the ball? ive even tried it with treats. it got worst coz he wouldnt even go for the ball. hell look for abit then try get the food off my hand (and no i didnt give him)

  • hey i have a pit named Cali!!! Do they all have that mole on the side of their mouth? lol like the narration by the way:p

  • What do I do? My dog never gives me back the ball/frizzbee or anything she just gets it walks over to me and then runs off.

  • I wish my dog got along with dogs that well.

  • your mrs is scorching

  • Yea. My dog does that too.

  • Love your videos.

    keep up the great work!

  • Your videos are so great, I had to show my mom who usually doesn't find many youtube videos interesting. Well, guess what? She loved yours! 

  • What if the dog doesn't want to give you the toy back. Do I just rip it out of my dogs mouth? Because he is getting really strong and it takes a while to do that. Keep up the videos Zak!

    - Chris Lapinski

  • @Cmanisthecoolest

    DO NOT rip it out of his mouth, you may squeeze his lower nose lightly until he drops it, DO NOT RIP IT OUT

  • wow! that was awesome! it worked!

  • Very helpful. It's especially helpful to see what to do when they aren't a natural at either the catching or the returning. And another way to play without just tossing the disc and standing there for the dog to bring it back. Loved the other footage, too!

  • what kind of dog is super nova ?

  • @ajeshort border collie they are the smartest dogs

  • @ajeshort a border collie a very very smart and intellegent dog...

  • @ajeshort border collie

  • @ajeshort i think its a border collie but there is definitly another breed mixed in that i cant identify

  • @ajeshort I think it's a collie

  • @yoboysharpie what collie, yoboysharpie. REPLY BACK. 

  • @ajeshort ausie and collie i think, there both really great dogs

  • Hey Zak,

    I just wanted to let you know that I just got a Border Collie puppy and I LOVE watching your videos. They always show me some important part of training that I wasn't doing (such as NOT picking the frisbee up when the dog drops it).

    Thanks so much and keep posting training videos! :-D

  • Holy shit, twelve years old, for real? Did the guy end up telling you what his secret is?

  • Hello ! I heard you say that you don't get as much comments as you expected. So here I am ! Your channel and videos are great. Got me addicted!

    I got my dog Kodah in a "refuge" (sorry, i probably use the wrong word.. i'm french, english is not my first langage) few months ago and he has problems with smaller dogs. He really enjoy playing with bigger ones. When he plays with a smaller dog, it's okay for 1minut but he always ends up chasing and attacking it! Do you have an explanation ? : )

  • aww...poor little chihuahua

  • Isn't it true that the little dog in the dog park should have the sweater off in order to be able to be an equal part of the pack? That a dog in a sweater will be at a marked disadvantage with regards to socializing with the others? Never mind his size, the big dogs and the little dog all know that something isn't quite natural.

  • is callie a pit bull?

  • Aha I love how you treat your dogs like they're kids :) That's really what they are, kids inside a dog's body xP I also love how you show us the process of thinking for the dogs, it really helps to get a better understanding. :) Thanks for the great videos! :D

  • such a playful chihuahua. I have two, along with my boxer pup. One loves other dogs, but doesn't run around and play. The other loves people, also doesn't play lol. My boxer hasn't had much socializing yet. Just got her last shot today and looking forward to taking her to the dog park

  • looooooove ur aussie!!!!!!!

  • Hey Zak! My dog knows the command "bring", but she usually drops it in front of me. I first realized that behavior, when my grandma (who is not really able to bend down anymore) tried to throw her sticks.. I tried it with tug games, but it didn't work out. Do you have any other ideas? Wishes from Germany - Anna =)

  • im sure your videos have helped many people , like me . but my dog is soo hard shes always sooo lazy or too playfull!!! XD

  • Fixing your dog, you turn an animal into a toy. How fucking stupid can people people be. Let someone chop your peter off and see how it feels or stick a cork in your hole.

  • my dog won't give back whatever you throw ;) any suggestions? it's a St Bernard ;)

  • 10:10

    have you been watching shay carl lol?

  • i mean 1:08

  • lol lions cut

  • @DarianMartin

    You just called Kelly a dog. The dog's name is CALLIE, kelly is the owner. HAHA kelly's not a dog (not that we know of) just kidding =)

  • 5 stars just because Kelly is a beautiful dog

  • Hey Zak!

    What books/dvds do you recommend for dog training?

  • Come on! how could you not like these lessons!!!!

  • great video, thanks for sharing

  • My dog smiles on his own. I would like to get him to do this on command. He's a smart boy and I'm sure he'd pick it right up like everything else, i'm just not sure how to go about it. thanks! -Nancy & Beans

  • I like that idea. I'd like to see a video on that. Also, I and many other people would like to see a video on housetraining using the clicker, rather than yelling, whooping etc.

  • So? He's still awesome

    wanna have a debate?

  • Hi Zak! Love your vids. I need some advice. My dog loves to fetch, but he doesn't use his mouth to catch things. He tends to use his paws and catch things as if he is a football players or something. How do I make him use his mouth to make that perfect Frisbee catch?

  • Hey Zak, I was an early adopter of your channel and now I am watching you on Discovery channel at 5.30 am in Tokyo. How cool is that! Well done mate.

  • My dog Pete can FLY!! Watch PETE THE WONDER DOG!

  • @ thedetective22

    What is your problem?! If you don't like th video or dogs then why are you here? You obviously love dogs if you're watching this video. Let's use our heads and not our mouths and learn to keep things to ourselves. What sense does it make to watch something you hate? Common dude...I'm sure dogs are smarter than you. Zak, please remove his or her comment that he or she made.

  • hey zak am trying to teach my dog how to play Frisbee and he pays attention and is interested in playing but when i trow it at him to catch he either gets it on the air with his legs or runs away n gets it when it falls down and i dont know what to do can u plez help??

  • I second the request to hear your thoughts on training "aggressive" dogs. Have you ever had to train a dog to be friendly to people and/or dogs or cats? I am interested in adopting a dog, likely a pit bull mix, and I am worried about people's reactions, and I'd like to train and socialize my dog to be as friendly as possible. Do you have any tips?

  • why not?!?! He is Legen- wait for it and I hope you're not lactose intolerant bercause the rest of that word is DARY!!!

  • i just really really hope u know that u r awsome.

  • Hey, when is your show going to have a new episode. I have been watching animal planet but the only ones that ever come on are the ones that I have seen so many times. I love your show a lot and love to see the cool tricks. Have you ever had to deal with training an agressive dog? love the video, you should do it for awhile the video a day thing. lol nova sure does talk funny. I like how he calls kelly lady, lol so funny. Lol that chihuahua is top dog, how funny is that!! Callie has a boyfriend

  • Great video! You have the best videos!!

    I've subscribed and most of your videos are on my favorite list =) I tried this on my dog and it worked really well!!! Thank you so much! I tried every other way and this was the only one that really worked well! Thanks Zak!

  • You are so awesome!!!

  • Great. I was waiting for this video :-)

    I know a woman who has an Irish Wolfhound, a Spanisch Groundhound and a Chihuahua.

  • what park is that?

  • where is venus's diva curse language???

    nevertheless, loved this vid :). Makes sense about the getting dog interested thing.

    Im hoping to get a good video camera and post a video response (finally) soon... My dog can't wait to say hi though she's camera shy. :D

  • funny voices

  • omg small.cute.dog alert!

  • Zak I love you! You are so awesome!!!

  • I love your dogs' voices. I had no idea that's what they sounded like. ;) Hmm, I think I might have to start feeding my dog two small children in the morning ... sounds like a good method.

  • hi zack... i have i little problem with my dog...

    we are going with a trainner and i have been learning the basic things he is proggresing but when we are in our free time my dog is always biting and jumping to me.... and i cant stop him... its sooo frustrating, the trainner tells me that the dog doesnt respect me in a sort way but i dont know what to do... i try to be patient but goshhh some time its to hard... please.. i need an advice...

    greetings from monterrey mexico.

  • Hey, I seen your comment and could not, not reply. I am also a dog trainer, not nearly as talented as Zak but, whenever your dog bits you, let out a loud yelp. Like you know when gangsters say ight instead of alright. Just make that noise but really loud, like a puppy. ur dog will then know that he hurt u. When ever ur dog jumps on you, if sitting down, stand up, turn your back to the dog, cross your arms and do these 3 things. No touch, no talk, no eye contact. Do this until the dog walks away.

  • zak, can you set up a tripod and record when you play frisbee with your 3 dogs at the park then edit it down so we can see the catch of the day. and maybe a few clips for the mvp?

    i think that would be really cool

  • hahahahahhaha...its so cute when the 3 big dongs play and the little chihuawa trys to get in but it doesent its so small and cute...!)))

  • my dog's to lazy to go after the second throw... he wants me to chase it.

  • great video today Zak, keep them coming !!

  • Love your videos but this "tactic" doesnt work on my border! :) If I run away she keeps the disc and chases after me, and if I ask her to release, she runs away again... I've also tried to lay down and play like a dog but that disc is still hers, she never lets go. And if I get another disc in there, she takes it to, not releasing the other one, shes 4½ months old! :)

  • @mrsarun practice "let go" with all kinds of stuff, maybe start with something thats easier to let go like a ball or a stick, using food in the beginning to pursuade can be helpfull to!

  • Yeah shes really good when it comes to let go, at home, but once shes of the leash she will not come near me if she got a toy in her mouth :)

    I tried this morning with some treats, but she only came to me when I threw the candy on the ground, guess thats a start! :)

  • @mrsarun have you tried a short throw game where she is on a really long lead, especially if you have a harness and not a collar that will choke her, then when she runs to with the disk you can gently reel her in if she darts away and exchange the disk for a treat or another disk. If she is food motivated something really yummy that requires her dropping the disk to eat it, followed by lots of praise and more fun. Be careful of jerking or choking though, don't throw the disk far. hope it helps.

  • another great video Zak. That old st bernard/english mastiff IS pretty impressive for his age.

  • why are those dogs giving each others blowjobs?

  • Great Vlog.. really enjoyed it!!!

  • hahah i think its so funny when you do the voice over for your dog cuz that is probably what they are saying..hahahah

  • Great video, Zak!!!!!!!!  :-D

  • Thoses were very very VERY CUTE CLIPS and the chihuahua was sooooooooo adorable!

  • That's what I was thinking, that cut looked weird on that dog. Not many dogs can rock a lion's cut, poodles can but that's about it.

  • wow that dog looks likea  lion! :o amazing

  • Can you do a video on how to teach your dogs how to put their toys back in their basket? Mine scatter them all over the house! :(

  • @xawnuhx look up "Smart dog's can put their toys away" by pamelamarxen. She teaches with clicker training how to do this and it worked for me.

  • thanks for the tips :D
