This is the instant that Wallace the Shepherd/Malinois mix really started understanding a new word for the very first time!  Moments like these might seem small… and they can be easy to miss, especially if you’re new to training dogs.  But for Wallace, this is profound. He’s starting to really understand how to learn from and communicate with his trainer.  The better you get at noticing the subtle cues and body language your dog displays during training, the faster you’re going to see results 🙌 This is Wallace’s “That means something!” face 😇 Some other signs to watch out for are: scratching or sniffing (which can indicate uncertainty or mild frustration), relaxed body posture and loose tail wags (which often mean a dog is more comfortable), which direction their ears are pointing (even if your dog has floppy ears, this can still tell you a lot!)…  These are just a few common signals dogs sometimes give while training. Can you think of any more? Keep an eye out for signals your own dog gives, and pay attention to the context to start learning what it means to them! Getting to know your dog in this way will make everything easier and more enjoyable for both of you ❤️🐾 #DogTraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining101 #puppytraining #dogtrainer #malinois #germanshepherd #newdog #positivereinforcement #forcefree #dogtrainingadvice #puppytrainingtips #zakgeorge #dogtrainingrevolution #breakthrough #learning #animalbehavior #k9 #dogtok #dogsoftiktok
Does your dog love ANYTHING this much?! 😅 George the pit bull might be the most ball-obsessed dog I have ever worked with. He is certainly in the running!  If George detects a ball, even if it’s been sitting still for hours, even if I have freshly cooked chicken right in front of his face, even if I have another ball or anything else he loves to reward him with… George REALLY struggled to leave balls alone.  And for a little while, I struggled to figure out how to break through to him.  But after a few days of getting to know George plus a lot of brainstorming and experimentation… an unexpected solution revealed itself! In George’s case, there is only one thing that he gets as excited for as every single ball on Earth.  It’s not a juicy steak… It’s not a “better” ball… It’s not even what’s inside the bowl you see me using here. George has such a strong positive association with THE BOWL ITSELF - you can imagine how exciting his food bowl was every day while he was living in the animal shelter for months and months.  Once I made this connection and started using his actual food bowl while I rewarded him during his more challenging training sessions… everything started to change!  Remember, we don’t decide what’s reinforcing to our dogs.  I would never have guessed that George would prefer KIBBLE from a bowl over real meat or other versions of his favorite toys. But paying attention to what ACTUALLY motivates George is what helped us break through and finally start making progress on his EXTREME love of balls 🐶❤️⚾️🎾 #DogTraining #puppytraining #dogtrainer #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogtrainerlife #pitbull #shelterdog #rescuedog #fosterdog #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #leashtraining #dogtrainingrevolution

“Be overwhelmingly consistent!” Easy enough, right? 🙃 All good teachers understand how essential this is. And dogs are very good at exploiting a lack of consistency. They will easily decipher how willing you are to stick to your game plan. This comes as no surprise - I mean, we are dealing with a very smart species here! 🐕 But there are times to unwind and do their own thing too. So how do you accomplish that while still being consistent in your training?  You’ll need to feel this out with your individual dog, but it’s easy once you get to know each other a little.  One classic example is walking on a loose leash. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, leash pulling can be absolutely maddening. In fact, this is one of the hardest things for many people to teach their dogs.  So, in the spirit of being “consistent,” you might be tempted to absolutely never advance forward if there is tension on your dog’s leash.  But in most cases, your consistency efforts would be much more effective during set-up training sessions in places where your dog is more likely to succeed. If the sidewalk is too challenging, try your driveway, or even your living room.  And when you take your dog into those more challenging environments, give them the freedom to explore instead of holding them to training standards they aren’t prepared for yet. All dog trainers know that consistency is important. But you have to balance “consistency” with your dog’s current skill level, and set your expectations accordingly.  That’s going to help you get out of your own way, and you and your dog will make progress much faster (and have more fun, too!) #DogTraining #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingtips #puppytraining #dogtrainer #malinois #germanshepherd #k9 #obedience #leashtraining #dogtrainingadvice #puppytrainingtips #leashpulling #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogtrainerlife #forcefree #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingrevolution #zakgeorge

What’s one thing I try to do before EVERY training session with a dog? 🤔 Here’s your answer! #DogTraining #dogtrainer #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogtrainerlife #puppytraining #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingrevolution
Does your dog love to chase things that are in motion?  If you drop your dinner… will they leave it alone when you ask?  Here’s where to start if you feel like your communication with your dog breaks down as soon as something fast-moving and exciting comes along.  This might seem simple - because it is! 🥰 Give it a try with your dog! You can see this entire lesson with Wallace, including the steps leading up to this point, on my YouTube channel right now!

Do you wish your dog would leave things alone when you ask them to?  I mean things like squirrels, other dogs, your dinner, every single thing on the ground when you’re taking a walk…  The FIRST step to teaching your dog a REALLY reliable “leave it” is to catch your dog in the act - of actually leaving something alone!  When we posted this new YouTube video yesterday, I noticed that a few people were surprised by how small and simple this first “leave it” moment is with Wallace.  So much of traditional dog training relies on waiting until dogs mess up, and then correcting them. But after decades of learning about how dogs learn from us - we know there is a better way!  Find a way to show your dog what’s RIGHT (even if it’s just for a half second at first).  Breaking your training down into the smallest, simplest components possible is going to make ALL of your training much faster and easier.  #DogTraining #dogtrainer #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #puppytraining #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingrevolution
Are you working on stopping your dog’s LEASH PULLING? 🙀 Watch for these “magic moments” with your own dog, and you’ll start to see success much faster! The early stages of leash training can feel pretty overwhelming. It can be hard to find ANY “good moments” to reward when you feel like your dog is constantly pulling and lunging in every direction…  One of my favorite exercises to do with dogs who are in the early phase of learning to walk nicely on leash, is getting them out on an extra long lead (this one is 30 feet long), because that can really increase your chances of finding lots of things to reward your dog for! Watch for moments when they briefly check in with you, glance your way, actually come to you, have slack in their leash, or see something tempting without immediately lunging for it.  The more instances of “good” behavior that you can find to reward, the faster those “bad” behaviors will get replaced by things you actually want your dog to do! And, you can accomplish this quickly without needing to use a single “correction” or punishment with your dog.  Training this way isn’t just more fun for you and your dog - it’s actually more effective, too!  Follow to learn all about training your dog without needing outdated or counterproductive methods like punishment and coercion 🙌 You’ve got this! #DogTraining #leashtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining101 #puppytraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #forcefree #zakgeorge #dogtrainingrevolution

Does your dog try to pick up EVERYTHING on the ground as you walk with them? 🫠 Dogs are instinctively motivated to use their mouth investigate and scavenge as they explore the world around them.  They even have a special scent organ (the vomeronasal organ) behind their front teeth - so sometimes, they are just trying to get a better “sniff” when they take things into their mouth…  That doesn’t really make it much better for us though 🥴 It’s important to allow dogs to do natural behaviors like sniffing and safe scavenging - but there are some things that we need to prevent our dogs from ingesting, and it’s important for them to understand how to leave things alone when we ask.  So where do you start if you need to work with your dog on this?!  In my latest video with Wallace I show you exactly how I start from scratch with behaviors like this. You can see the full episode on YouTube now! #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #DogTraining #dogtrainer #puppytraining #dogtrainingrevolution #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #leashtraining
