Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution

The Complete Guide to Raising the Perfect Pet with Love

By: Zak George

Narrated by: Zak George

Celebrity dog trainer, YouTube sensation, and Animal Planet star Zak George presents a next-generation guide that uses his infectiously energetic style to teach dog-lovers everything they need to know about raising and training their unique pup.

Zak George is a new type of dog trainer. His fresh approach puts a strong emphasis on the relationship with the individual dog - informed by breed-specific traits - allowing people to treat the root cause of behavior issues rather than the symptoms and teach their dogs faster without the use of punishments or stress. For the first time, George has distilled all the information from his hundreds of videos into one master guide that covers everything from play biting and potty training to leash pulling and unwanted barking and jumping. As a bonus, listeners will be able to visit his YouTube channel to see real-life demonstrations of techniques described in the book, providing a truly modern listening experience.

Absolutely fantastic book, compliments youtube

If you have or are planning on getting a dog or puppy, this is a fantastic book! I listened to it over and over as it was so jam packed with information, yet it was an enjoyable and engaging listen. Zak is dynamic and interesting, as well as incredibly knowledgeable. So far everything we have done according to his book is working wonderfully. Not only that, but I am actually teaching my cat to sit on command, based on his methods! She is almost there. Our boy cat has been able to sit for years, but our girl cat could never figure it out. Using Zac's methods, she is figuring it out! He doesn't go in depth into the science of why to do these techniques, but there is a LOT of science backing up his methods. The book is a good compliment to his youtube channel. On video you can see the techniques, but the book presents the information in a more systematized way. Highly recommend!

This is the one I’ve been looking for! 

I have read so many dog training books, and hired so many trainers, I can’t even remember them all. Not everything I’ve read or been told, resonated with me, but I always tried it anyway. Unfortunately, I’ve also always had mixed results with those other training programs. This is the one I have been looking for all along. Every single thing that Zach George says by way of explanation or instruction completely resonated with me. It all just felt right in a way that so many of the other instructional books did not. I started working with my dog about halfway through this book and we’ve had maybe three training sessions, by the time I just finished it. I am already seeing so much more progress with my extremely anxious and reactive dog than I did after months of using other programs. I was looking for the nuts and bolts behavioral instructions, which were a small percentage of this book. But the concepts that I learned overall, and the specific guidance around behavior issues were awesome. This book guides you through the entire process of deciding if a dog is right for you, how to choose one, how to choose their Vet, how to choose their food, etc. So this is a really great book for anyone even considering getting a dog. It asks you all the questions that you should be asking yourself. If you’re even thinking about getting a dog, buy this book. It’ll save you so much grief in the long run. I can’t wait to read his next book, I’m gonna start it today!

for new dog owners

Perfect for people who have never owned a dog before and want to start right.

Tried and tested. Training with Love works ♥️

Zak has done more than his fair share of homework and it shows. He’s incredibly knowledgeable from both an academic and experiential level. His philosophy is a true testament to how much love and positivity can influence our lives, and especially our dogs, in a myriad of ways. Anytime anyone asks me why my dog is so well trained, I tell them it’s because of Zak George.

excellent book.

this book is truly excellent. He outlines very specifically and enthusiastically about how to create a relationship with your dog based on respect, care and consistency. His approach is science-based and does away with the cruel and unscientific methods of dog training from the past. A wonderful read for anybody considering getting a new puppy or even brushing up on the relationship with an older dog. I highly recommend it.

He sure makes it sound easy....

But reality can be a different world. I feel parts of the book will create fear and panic in a novice owner, and while you can't cover everything about owning dogs in one book, I feel there are some vitals missing. The first two-thirds of the book should be a pamphlet on choosing & researching breeds vs. part of a training book. Most people picking up a training book are looking for answers to a current problem, not a remind of how they did it wrong up to the point the buy this book.

a must read

a must read for anyone who is getting a dog. Zak had demonstrated that dog training has too changed much over the years.

Very insightful

My family recently got a puppy. As someone who didn't grow up with dogs, I was overwhelmed feeling I wouldn't know what to do. This book helped me understand different behaviors that are common, ways to train my puppy, and things to avoid. I learned so much I was able to teach my husband different approaches to training our puppy. I found this book to be very helpful.

Good content (summary of dog training basics)

I really liked the book and it goes perfectly with Zak’s videos. If you want to focus or train a specific trick/behavior.

A great beginner's guide

I rescued my first dog about a month ago and I had been following Zak George on YouTube to get a better understanding on how to train my dog. I commute most of the day so watching videos is hard but listening to him go through the steps has really helped me in understanding what I need to do. The videos are amazing too if you get a chance to watch them. Within the past month I've had friends, family, and different veterinary personal astounded at the bond that I have with my dog. People are always telling me good job for training her right but the praise has to go to Zak George because if it wasn't for him I would be listening to all that dominance nonsense that people have always been talking about. This is a better change for the right direction.
