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.

@Ixxithedog Really nice thing to say. Thank you.

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!

@Evalynn3f thnxs for clarifying that to me.

[Evalynn3f]

@KT4Life100 What I gather (and I don't speak for anyone) is that he's telling his dogs to go away and chill out somewhere - basically a time out. They then CHOOSE to use the crate because they feel comfortable there. The 'time out' is the aversive; the crate is a safe spot. If you actively PUT your dog in his crate and closed the door on him as a correction, he would develop a negative association. The crate would become the means of punishment and that would be counterproductive.

now i have a question.u said that u believed in time outs.now i've read articles where u should only use his/her crate as a positive place for her/him but if u use it as a positive and a negative way then wouldn't ur dog get confused?

[paulcottman]

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.

@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!

[taketheleadvideo]

@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
