Lese-Probe zu „Zak George's Dog Training Revolution “
INTRODUCTIONFew things in this world are more exciting and more memorable than welcoming a new dog into your life. The journey goes far beyond simply having a companion by your side. Dogs have much to teach us: They always live in the moment. They re never spiteful, and they don t hold grudges. Also, there s just something about dogs loyalty and unconditional love that makes people crazy about them.
That s not to say that bringing a dog home doesn t come with its challenges. You have a lot to teach your new pet so that you can live in harmony and have a long, rewarding relationship. Whether you are reading this book because you ve just gotten a dog or because you want some fresh perspective on raising the one you already have, I promise you that you have come to the right place.
Like many people, I have always adored dogs. I grew up with an adorable terrier mix named Raisin, and I learned that dogs are independent-minded beings who have a great capacity for love.
As I got older, my love for dogs continued to grow. I was absolutely fascinated by them I d watch dog Frisbee competitions on TV and was blown away by their flips, leaps, and other tricks. I just couldn t wrap my head around the idea that a dog and a person could communicate so well, and I really wanted to experience that. So in my twenties, I decided it was time to raise a dog on my own. Little did I know that my life was about to take a turn from average to amazing: that s when I got Venus.
Venus is a Border Collie, and from the minute I met her I was so impressed by her intelligence. I spent a lot of time training her and always made it fun. In turn, we became completely in tune with each other, and she seemed as obsessed with learning as I was with teaching. I found that there was virtually no limit to what she could do. In just a few days, she learned how to fake a limp by walking on three legs total Hollywood style, really

convincing. Then there s my favorite trick I call Superstar I d lie on my back and Venus would balance on her hind legs on top of the soles of my feet. Next, I d throw Frisbees to her, one after the other. She d catch every one while maintaining her balance! However, while I know part of her success was due to the amount of time I dedicated to her, it was our bond that played an even bigger role. Venus showed me that when you prioritize your relationship with your dog, the teaching process becomes easy.
When Venus was about ten months old, I decided to drop my real estate career and figure out how I could somehow make a living while teaching her. Of course this job didn t exist, but I found something surprisingly close. By this point, Venus had won her first three Frisbee competitions, and I found out that a PetSmart near my house was looking for a dog trainer. I scheduled an interview and brought Venus and our three trophies as my resumé. Venus and I performed for the interviewer. I was hired on the spot.
I enjoyed my time at PetSmart over the next few years it gave me tons of experience. After that, I continued training and, in total, taught thousands of dogs and their families. I worked with all different breeds and mixed breeds and handled virtually every behavioral issue you can imagine. I also added two more Border Collies to my family Alpha Centauri and Supernova and eventually took a job with Stunt Dog Productions, performing with my three dogs nationwide. In 2006, I also launched my YouTube channel, now known as Zak George s Dog Training Revolution, posting videos on how to teach dogs everything from roll over to how to stop them from jumping up. I quickly acquired more subscribers than any other dog train
