Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution Review
A revolutionary way to raise and train your dog. Zak helps you tailor dog training to your pet’s unique traits and energy level—leading to quicker results and a much happier pup.
If you’re looking for the best dog training books, you may want to consider Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution.
It’s full of excellent training tips, FAQ’s and their answers (this was my favorite part), and overall dog care advice.
Plus, his personality and obvious love for dogs makes it a fun read that will get you excited to train and care for your dog!
In this post, we’ll break down the top pros and cons of the book, plus identify who it’s for, and who it’s not for.
Pros
Pro #1: He really knows his stuff (and he’s a good teacher)
Zak George is one of the most popular dog trainers in the world and for good reason: he really knows what he’s talking about!
He not only knows how to encourage a dog to behave in a certain way or obey a command, but also how to do it in a loving way that makes the dog want to obey you.
This helps strengthen your relationship with your dog, as opposed to forcing him to obey by force or fear, which will hurt your relationship with them.
Plus, everything in the book is broken down into small steps, which makes it easier to digest.
Pro #2: There are several “Ask Zak” sections where he rattles off answers to FAQ’s
This was my favorite part of the book because he addresses specific questions that he gets asked (many of which I had myself!).
The book is a good mix of general principles and specific tactics, and these “Ask Zak” questions are super helpfu
If you’re experiencing difficulties with some aspect of raising your dog, Zak likely addresses it in these sections.
Pro #3: It covers a lot
This book isn’t just about training; it covers everything from choosing a dog and bringing them home, to basic care and common health problems.
No matter what stage in the dog-owning journey you are, this book will be able to help answer your questions.
Pro #4: He obviously loves dogs and working with them
Cons
some of the cons stem from my personal preference, and aren’t actually bad things about the book.
Con #1: It covers a lot, but doesn’t go into detail in some aspects
Although “it covers a lot” is in the pros list, I did find it necessary to mention this in the cons list, too.
Like I said, it covers nearly every aspect of owning a dog, but because there is so much to know, some sections were lacking detail.
For instance, I was really looking forward to the tricks section, but in the book, he only covers five tricks.
I was hoping for more in the book, but the good thing is that there are tons of videos on YouTube of him showing you how to teach your dog tricks.
Con #2: It was more of a dog owner’s handbook than a training book.
This book is not for someone who wants to really go deep into dog training.
It covers basic training principles and fundamentals, a few tricks, and things that you’ll want to train your puppy to do (like walking on a leash, crate training, etc).
Conclusion
If you’re looking for an overview of how to care and train for your dog, you’ll love this book.
Zak George’s infectious love for dogs will help encourage you to be more patient and loving with your dog, and his teaching will help you know exactly what to do while raising your pup.
