Best dog trainer

Zak is simply the most knowledgeable and professional trainer I have found on the web. Watching his youtube videos along with reading both of his books (especially this one) will solve any type of frustration you have with your dog. More importantly the outcome of zaks approach to training, helped me create the unique bond with my dog that I wanted so bad. This book is a must have!

Pretty much same as his first book

Not much new over first book of you read that already. After reading both books the only thing this guy is good for is trick training, and even for that you are better off just watching the YouTube videos he has for free.

His behavioral advise most amounts to distract your dog when it is doing something bad and give it treats for doing something good after a successful distraction. Or slowly introduce things like noises that cause your dog to freak out and give treats when it ignores or focuses on you.

He even mentions in the book he can’t get his dog Venus to interact with other dogs so he trains it to lay down when a dog comes by and then physically puts himself between him and the other dog. If dog continues to bother his dog he will sometimes pick up the other person’s dog.

Great guide to raise a puppy/dog.

This book is great, and i have been practicing with my puppy on basic skills since we got her 5 weeks ago. She is still bitey as most puppies are, but through these methods she is eager to learn and please me. She already has about 13 tricks under her belt, from a solid game of fetch to a little wave she just learned this morning. I watched many of his videos online as they are a great resource as well.

Positive reinforcement training is the way to go, and i'll never train any other way.

Thanks Zac for the book and the videos!

I was so nervous before getting my puppy

Not anymore. Thank you! I still don’t know what I’m getting myself into but I feel more prepared that is for sure.

The best dog training book

As a first dog owner, I have read many dog training books and went through some courses and I found Zak’s book the best. His passion and love toward dogs made this book extremely easy to understand. This book helped me and my puppy a lot. His emphasis on how to communicate with my dog helped me and my puppy to create a strong bond. I appreciate how he logically explains why some ways of training are not successful. I want to listen to this book for the second time. It is one of the best. Thanks, Zak.

Zak training worked for my dog

I like the idea of looking out dog in his own world rather bringing him to our own expectations. Zak makes the training very simple and it had work for my dog ( Standard Poodle) He is 4 months and know at least 40 commands. Also, as mentioned in the book, I am slowly weaning off the treats for every command. Great book and also am a big fan of his YouTube channel. Kudos!!!
