My wife and I make dog training videos on YouTube!

More info about Zak George's dog training:

I make free dog training content to try to help as many people as possible have a better relationship with their dogs. I promote modern, reinforcement-based dog training techniques and I'm passionate about teaching the public that science has shown us aversive corrections are never necessary in any case for dog training or behavior modification! My wife and I make YouTube videos about dog training. Over the past decade plus we have feature hundreds of dogs, including detailed single-episode dog training tutorials to give you all the info you need on every popular dog training topic, multi-episode series featuring totally untrained foster dogs that we pull from the shelter and feature all of their training while we try to find them a home, and super extensive ongoing video series documenting how my wife and I raise and train our own dogs every day.

Behavioral issue focus:

I have worked with thousands of dogs with all manner of behavioral issues throughout the course of my career as a dog trainer teaching classes, private lessons, as a sport and stunt dog trainer, and online educator.

Dog training methods:

I use positive reinforcement and focus on the relationship first. Because there is a scientific consensus that aversive corrections are never necessary in any case for dog training or behavior modification, and there is also evidence that there is a very significant risk of negative side effects from using aversive corrections in dog training, I strongly advocate against the use of physical punishments and training tools like choke, prong and electric collars. I teach people how to use effective management strategies, how to address their dog's underlying emotions instead of just suppressing unwanted behaviors, and how to be proactive during training by breaking things down into steps that are achievable for their dog, so that there is no need for corrections because dogs are being set up for success.

Why I became a dog trainer:

Because I have a passion for teaching dogs and people how to use modern methods that promote happiness and fulfillment for all involved!

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Helping people learn how to connect with their dogs in deeper ways and learning how to connect with each dog as an individual.

My #1 dog training tip:

Focus on building a quality relationship with your dog and the dog training will take care of itself.
