Train your dog. Follow the evidence.

Inertia’s training series

This is the story of raising my own Border Collie, from those first puppy days through adolescence and into adulthood.

I wanted to show you the whole process of raising Inertia in detail: what we taught, how we taught it, and the successes and mistakes along the way.

We’ve created hundreds of free videos and full training series, along with videos from the books, podcasts, interviews, and appearances.

COPS + DOGS

Police violence against dogs. Dogs used as weapons against people.

The familiar hero story leaves a lot out. We’re following the history, the evidence, the human consequences, and the welfare of the dogs who work with and are harmed by police every day. We’re making the case for ending police K-9 units.

Monthly support starts at $2 USD and currently funds Cops + Dogs. The main investigation and public resources will remain free to access.

Training Is Political

Explore how dog training connects to welfare, ethics, politics, punishment, disability, race, public policy, and collective liberation.

Who are we?

Zak + Bree

I’m Zak George, a Lebanese-American dog trainer. Here you’ll find practical help for your dog, and bigger questions about care, power, and how dogs and people live together.

Bree and I have been life and work partners since 2011. Together, we’ve helped make modern, humane dog training accessible to millions while following the ethical questions that training raises wherever they may lead.

For over two decades, we’ve helped dogs and families build reliable behavior without intimidation. Along the way, we’ve watched harmful methods get rebranded and normalized.

We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between being effective and being ethical. You can raise a well-trained dog while protecting their emotional wellbeing.
