Dogs Behaving Very Badly: Series 4 - Episode 1 | Full Episode

[@carolwilliams8511]

I love these kinds of programmes where clueless people get help with their perfectly ok dogs.

[@melancholic7028]

How are these dogs perfectly ok? None of them are

[@goatman3828]

99% of people would have sent those first dogs back to the shelter. I give a lot of respect to that couple. They made a commitment and stand by it. That's exactly what this world needs more of. They got way more than they could handle, yet keep going. No quit in them. Massive respect.

[@squaretriangle9208]

But it is crazy for two pensioners and maybe first time dog owners to be so (over)confident to think they could handle 2 giant dogs😢 I sometimes had difficulties to hold back my 25 pound dog when he got spooked although I was much younger and fit Why not adopt a small dog a poodle or a spaniel?

[@goatman3828]

@squaretriangle9208 I'm not a fan of those small rat dogs. I've always had large breeds. But, I grew up on a farm and my first pet was a 400 pound pig. Used to thrive her around like a horse. That was when I was around 6. She sure was tasty when I was 7 though. That may sound odd, but we grew all our own food. With the exception of things like salt and sugar and spices.

@@squaretriangle9208 You said it! Sometimes certain choices are completely irresponsible, it's not about a personal ego contest but what's the best dog for your environment. I don't have my 'ideal' dog either (I like large breeds too), I have a smaller, and sillier, little sneef snorf and she's the bestest little gal our entire household and neighborhood loves, she's also loved by the vet and can't wait to see them again. Happy dog, happy family, happy life and a genuinely happy me!

@@rustyhowe3907 Exactly. I wondered.... elderly people and NEWFS?!! I'm in my fifties and in decent health, and I love my pitties, but I know that there may be a point where I can't handle 40 pounds of muscle and need to step down to a smaller dog. (Probably a Boston Terrier)

First off that Luna dog is herding. That’s a border collie mix

[@Oakleaf700]

It's an absolute Border Collie mix...can't see Poodle in it at all.

[@humbloom]

i thoguth she was a schipperke or a spitz mix. i don't see the poodle honestly.

Jackapoo? says who? is the jackapoo in the room with us?

[@squaretriangle9208]

​@@humbloom i would have said border collie/spitz mix or border collie/croatian sheepdog/mudi mix

[@philippal8666]

Border collie, what they got told by the breeder I can’t imagine

[@Watchdog287]

The Newfies are still puppies or at least teens. Large dogs and especially of heavy mastin types dont mature socially until about 3 yo. With no training they are opportunists like any dog, but way more to handle when they get that large.

[@momscosoool]

Most dogs mature at the age of 3 yrs old.

[@Watchdog287]

@@momscosoool Physically yes. Smaller breeds 1-2 years for both physical and social matureness. That means that larger breeds are puppies and adolescents for a longer time and often need more training duration in socialisation mentally.

[@librorum4]

it's rough when you have a huge puppy - you get so much less leeway than owners with small dogs

[@jennistone364]

I cant get my head around the mum who didnt tell the dog to stop harassing her son!!!

[@scanzaroli]

I know!! She never thought to say no?

[@jaydeashlyn9768]

My thoughts exactly😒 Graham: say "Luna stop!" End of training....🤭🤣

[@Benefacez]

I'm not even a dog owner, but I thought the same....

[@nordseeistmordsee]

Ignorance is bliss.....

[@alexandriarae1508]

With the second dog that goes in the water and won't come out, they're terrified he's going to freaking DROWN........WHY DO THEY LET HIM OFF THE LEASH???? I'm so f*cking confused on why this is even an issue... the dog endangers himself AND them, and yet there they are letting him go free around the water - come ON people where is the ever-loving common sense. Amazing. The long line leash was the second completely obvious answer besides just keep him leashed at all times until training is put in place. WHY does someone (in this case, TWO people) need to be told this?!😂😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@liset4081]

Absolutely agree! That was just ridiculous. Everyone that doesn’t have control on their dog, should have them on a leash. The dog doesn’t listen, clearly he needs a leash. I can’t grasp the non logic. They create a problem!

[@lily_m3538]

Dumb, dangerous dog owners.

[@donnap7757]

Ridiculous isn't it.. 😂😂

[@JayceeWedmak]

That drove me crazy 😂 I guess they wanted a dead dog.

[@nordseeistmordsee]

The script for this show had to be dramatized for the format. The issue must be laid out for every one to get it. It's taylored for a broad audience so they can place more ads.

[@rosaliecarpio7768]

LOVE IT!!!! I've had dogs all my life and I never get tired of watching videos like this! Great work at transforming people's lives!

[@rahelclaudiahartmann6485]

I love this dog series's as I learn so much from it. Graham is just the best 👌

[@upandaway5844]

Huge surprise that a cocker spaniel originally bread for hunting and retrieving birds runs into the water to…well…hunt and retrieve birds! 🤔 I always love the owners saying "As soon as I let him off leash he does xy" - how about now letting him off leash then until he's trained? 😁

[@rustyhowe3907]

I've encountered the same thing with Yorkie owners, their precious widdle baby isn't so precious when it tears vermin up and the owners can't understand why their handbag dwelling baby would do such a thing!

[@rustyhowe3907]

How silly of me to think that jackapoo was a border collie mix...😂😂 Oh lawdy the previous owners saw that mother coming a mile away.

[@lily_m3538]

Insane to get such big dogs with inexperienced owners in a small house. Bizarre. The poor neighbours.

[@BabuskaDoll]

Can’t imagine the smell. Love those types of dogs but I knew somebody who had two newfies in a house. They stunk! He claimed he got them washed once a month.

[@crystalheart9]

I can't imagine two retired people who want dogs to go on walks with them would choose such massive dogs. 🙄

[@tikki3509]

Who the heck told Lunas owner that she is a jackapoo and why wasn't her breed mix questioned on the show? Luna looks like a border x but most importantly she is not only showing herding tendencies but other behavioral traits of the border collie.

[@upandaway5844]

Totally with you! Looks like a border cross and is clearly herding the son, including snapping his feet/ankles!

[@chrysalis4126]

She's definitely a border collie cross. I've had lots of border collies and she is very like one.

[@JOHN----DOE]

Soooo . . . the dog jumps in the water and swims too much? Um--you need a behavior expert to tell you to LEASH him?

[@alezisaa]

Cant get enough of this show .. 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@karenmcardle142]

I love watching dogs change❤, once they know whats expected, sorted , the dogs just know with Graham, awesome i love how its the owners that need trained 😅❤ Many years ago, decades ago 😅, i was terrified of dogs, cats ,. Until i met my future husbands dog and he taught me to not be scared, and then over the years, the rescued who really rescue eachother their angels 💖 Keep Lifted

[@chrysalis4126]

Very unusual to have a Newfoundland act like that. Also the "jackapoo" is a border collie cross and needs to channel her activity level and herding instinct into some sort of activity like agility.

[@terrimallett3760]

Rule Number One: don´t get a dog you can´t physically handle. And I don´t mean to be unkind, but people get giant breed dogs and then act surprised that they become giant.

[@squaretriangle9208]

So true

[@rubyedwards2305]

Don’t let them off if they’re not trained!!

[@MsAdlerHolmes]

Fancy that. A dog bred for going in the water with no recall training buggering off to swim and not wanting to come back. They seem sweet though.

[@bonniel4325]

People are funny, we just don't seem to know our limitations. Those dogs were bred for strenuous water rescue work, not to be house pets. Thank goodness, these two are typical sweet Newfies.

[@JayceeWedmak]

OMG LOL seriously, why does the couple let the spaniel off lead when it won't come back? They're lucky they still have a dog, the numpties 🙄 Teach it to retrieve- its a sporting dog. Knew exactly what the trainer was going to do.

[@karenmcardle142]

Why let him off the leash, 🤷‍♀️ love the dogs, and asore watching the humans being trained 😅😊😂❤

[@fudgeon83]

I don’t know why people cannot research and learn some basic training techniques BEFORE getting the dog? A bit like learning to drive before getting the car. I can understand more difficult situations like the water situation etc also Simon and Panda are gorgeous teddies! And I commend the owners for not giving up on them.

[@mastinomama8939]

Now WHO says Graeme can't walk on water?😊

[@terrimallett3760]

Serious question, are so many people lacking basic common sense? If your dog has a shite recall, why do you continually let them off-lead and expect them to come when called?

[@alexandriarae1508]

Right??! I would pay good money for just a few minutes in these people's minds while this is happening, to see what the hell they could possibly be thinking...like what is the train of thought that is getting them all the way to "yes, lets take the leash off my dog that won't come back to me!"🦧...come ON people!!

[@michelewood925]

That isn’t a jackapoo.

[@Oakleaf700]

It's a Border Collie cross... odd that trainer didn't know that?!

[@angiehaddington6462]

Defo not

I have a super large dog , but going to grow a lot more he is an Irish wolfhound mixed with Newfoundland (definitely more wolfhound tho) he is amazing but I’m struggling with anxiety when he gets to excited and jumps up he bites but not aggressively just curiosity but still a problem he is also good on walks but gets over excited and jumps up puts me on edge all the time any advice would be highly appreciated the vets advise not to avoid people as I was doing but I’m so scared he will jump up at a stranger?

[@ltully4961]

Dogs have to be trained. Have to work w them everyday. When they started working with him, Harris kept looking at his owners, tail wagging. Luna is a Russel? She looks like a herding dog to me...herding her boy.

May I ask what kind of leashes they are using for the Newfies?

What a selfish cow for being a single middle aged woman who wants companionship? Her son is a big boy and obviously not afraid of their dog. He just doesn't care for her. If someone is afraid of dogs, you could help them get over it too.

Her son would not be as afraid of her dog if it ever occurred to her to tell the dog no/stop!

[@AlexandraLynch1]

@@JoannaVancouver Yes, you can if you TRAIN YOUR DOG so that it is a good member of the household. My husband didn't want a dog because they jump up on you and steal your food. We have a pair of dogs who don't jump and ignore anything on a human's plate, and my husband adores them. But we train our dogs to be good dogs.

I know it's me being nervous that gets her in the state she becomes but I just can't control of my nervousness. Anyone have any ideas please leave in the comment section!!!

[@librorum4]

have you tried LAT or BAT? Ie - engage and disenage games, so you train the dog that a certain word means a treat is coming, ie yes, and then when you are far enough from a dog that they've seen it but aren't fixated, you say 'yes' and then reward, and when they look back, repeat. eventually they'll start seeing the dog and then looking at you expecting the reward - once that happens, you move closer and repeat. you're essentially rewiring their initial response to seeing a dog. it helps if you are far enough away that you can have them on a longer line, as when they feel a tight leash, this makes the reaction worse.

[@blakefrancisboggs7526]

What the person above said, especially the first paragraph. I've been doing that for about 6 months and my dogs made improvements. This method was on the advice of a dog trainer. However, I think the dog trainer was wrong in telling me that correcting the dog would not be effective. Recently I've started making corrections AS SOON as my dog starts to stiffen, stare, or lean towards. If I do it in the beginning of his reactive response he seems able to receive the message. When he looks away or towards me he gets a treat and praise. I also think it's important to use a strong, clear NOPE or UP-UP. Those are strong, short sounds that get his attention. Sometimes I'll snap my fingers to get him out of his fixation. It's also important to maintain some distance so you aren't setting him up for failure. Don't overwhelm him with dogs. Be consistent. I'm also think that while my dogs generally good and obedient on walks except for when he sees a dog, I'm going to keep a shorter lead so i can maintain control and be able to able to snap the lead or move into his space with a strong no if I need to. One way I also went wrong in the beginning was treating him when he was stiff or staring in an attempt to create a positive association with other dogs. I think that set me back because i thought of the problem purely in terms of creating a positive association and not communicating what i DO and DONT want (because that what the trainer told me). Tbh the dog trainer I saw was somewhat helpful but also misleading, omitting important details, or just plain wrong. I've made modifications to his technique.

[@sumoody1325]

Please stop dressing dogs in bibs etc. they must be so annoying for them to wear !

[@Friala]

Newfies drool like mad so an occasional bib is fine. It’s just a collar and the dogs don’t mind at all.
