Did they really think they don't need to walk their dog?? Incredible the way people treat pets

[@santamuerte1192]

I've had ten dogs in my life, I have three of them now and I have never walked a single one. Never had problems, they love people, they are not stressed......the only thing is that I do have quite a big back yard and I let them out, but they don't like being outside, they just go out, do their business and bark to get in.

[@MyPawFamily]

@@santamuerte1192Are they chihuahuas? They sound super cute🥰🐶🐾

[@sophiarosemacs7092]

When they said they don't walk her because " it's such a chore" and "she's not a man's dog" I rolled my eyes. However this couple seem really lovely and love Alison and actually listen to Victoria and take on her advice. I wish more owners were like them

[@EdwardSnowden-p2v]

Those two do not deserve a hamster. They are both morons. The man thinks he needs to walk a werewolf to be man and the imbecile lady thinks dogs are for when she is bored.

[@kunolacarai]

Imagine being surrounded by giants who constantly want to grab you and cuddle you. That's life for a lot of tiny dogs.

[@Gore-Labs]

I’m glad that my… somewhat tiny dog enjoys it. I love snuggling with him, and whenever I put him down he’ll immediately try and get me to pick him up and love on him again lol.

[@pokerqAK47]

Yeah. I’m stressed to go outside with my chihuahua. I have social anxiety and people just can’t leave us alone!!!! Everyone has to comment on how cute he is, has to ask his name or age. Why does it matter? I just wanna be left alone and my dog too. He is super friendly but he doesn’t care for strangers, he just won’t even acknowledge them. That’s how much he’s tired of this constant attempts to pet him.

[@isabellemcgeachie663]

I have learned to advocate for my chihuahua mix, he’s the sweetest boy just needs people to understand he doesn’t want everyone he meets to be all up in his face

[@pokerqAK47]

What does it mean “I don’t walk her every day because that would feel like a chore” WHAT? I walk my chihuahua at least 30 minutes a day. Sometimes he doesn’t wanna walk or it’s a bad weather. It is a chore but I also walk myself so it’s nice that my dog makes me go outside 😄 It’s also a chore to wash my dog, feed him, play with him a lot, etc. and I do all that because I love him.

[@renehill3351]

I still can’t even believe she said that. Truly mind-boggling.

[@angery2002]

Victoria is so right when she says to lighten your voice. Dogs loooove being baby talked.

[@helgeakeroe8510]

Not all dogs. My afghan hated baby talk. But then again, he was an afghan, they are quite poud, hehe

[@scemolivvy]

My Merle girl Chi doesn't mind stern assertive talk, calm talk, or squeaky baby talk. She's very well trained.

[@Lionforaday]

Victoria's stellar skills shone even more brightly in this episode. That bark could shatter glass, but she's just a wee little thing and so scared. And every dog deserves to be walked - isn't that one of the best things about having a dog? I remember finally getting my first dog at age 46, and taking her for our first walk. It was the best.

back in the late 90s i rescued a 10 year old male that had never been socialized at all. He hid in the closrt the first two years i had him, not even coming out to eat. so for 2 yeats i got in the closet with him, talking and soothing him. He became my best buddy thereafter until he passed at 20 years old. It takes time and patience to gain the trust of a dog like that.

[@flanpurin]

wow! Alison did amazing in the training sessions. shes such a sweet baby; i really hope they kept up the training and bonding

[@missmonasuzette]

My daughter has a rescue Deer Head Chiuahua who's as laid back as can be. She never barks. She was a street dog, so maybe she didn't want to draw attention to herself or something. She had separation anxiety at first but now she's a cool cucumber living her best life. The only issue she has is that she absolutely will not let my daughter clip her nails. *****Walking is one of the best therapies for dogs. It's a must**** You absolutely must walk your dog, so if you don't want to do that, don't get a dog!

[@jeanchampion671]

I think chihuahuas hate having their nails cut

[@Colleen-s7q]

Id say this dog is extremely lucky to have parents go>ng to this extent to get closer to their conflicted little pup.

[@ACockatielsSong]

Victoria makes this look so easy! And lots of people underestimate a small dog, but at the same time, I see so many people with BIG dogs and so few dog walkers.

[@lea0703]

no wonder why chihuahuas are always on their nerves, most of their owners treat them like this!

[@mslindsayh]

Awh :) little Allison looks so much happier already! I hope they kept it up for her.

[@patriciariley1801]

What a stunning couple! I'm so glad little Alison is learning new skills!!!

[@daniellewienecke3952]

More like the owners are! Lol!

[@ChrisHrapko-n4l]

We have 2 rescued chis and they are amazing. They went through service training for PTSD with Wags 4 Warriors. They are intelligent, good natured, and love to be working dogs. They are not typical. We are so blessed

[@yvaincallipso84]

I definitely don't blame tiny dogs for being nervous or fearful. Imagine being that small and surrounded by giant individuals that could so easily stomp you or just pick you up, and anything you do about it, even the hardest of bites or snarls can be dismissed as "cute". Our chihuahua loved nestling under pillows and blankets, probably to burrow and feel safe.

[@jesterday2222]

That is not the reason why so many small dogs are nervous and fearful. Dogs don't even know 'size' and they don't have thoughts like 'oh no they might step on me'.

[@jadakowers590]

What a sweet, little dog! 🐩

"She isn't a man's dog." That's news to all the truckers who travel everywhere with their chihuahuas.

[@bloodwolf9075]

My dog very small and anxious. She really hates to see other dogs around. She picked a fight with a German Shepherd at the vet once and nearly lost her face to his jaws. Given her size and the size of a German Shepherd, if it came down to a fight she would surely become a chew toy or worse: his dinner

[@WildKat25]

Socializing in puppyhood is VERY key for all dog breeds! Teach your dog to get used to tons of sounds, environments, objects, and people (elderly, adults, kids) as early are possible. Same with other dogs (provided they have all their shots and are more than 3-6 months old depending on your country's shots schedule). I foster orphaned neonatal kittens & puppies, and exposure to various things in line with their age is very important to creating a happy puppy ready for adoption.

[@scemolivvy]

Harnesses are GREAT for chihuahuas! They have sensitive/fragile trachea! So a harness is the way to go!

[@cirnosnumberfan6449]

Walking your dog is literally a basic thing that everyone should do, regardless of it's size. If you think it'll be a "chore" then you'll be better off having a fish for a pet, unless feeding it it's too tough for you too.

I can’t believe these people didn’t walk their dog everyday.. did she just potty in the house.. my little dog will come and tell me when he has to go out ..

[@CyberYadda]

Hey, you folks who are bent on putting out all this negitive talk about the owners and there lack of understanding about walking their girl, I'd like to know how much you knew when bringing home your first pup, and was it as high strung as theirs is? We all have to start somewhere, and I personally want to commend these guys for loving her enough to put out the effort and finances to hire someone to teach them what they need to know! Many would never bother. Bravo you guys for truly showing just how much you do love your girl. If someone was able to bring about the importance of exercise for her, you don't listen to these knuckleheads who criticize you for not knowing. Cuz you damn sure know now! Many happy walks to the 3 of you!😊

[@snotpup1502]

@ravenonyx122 Well, you could know a dog lived there by hearing barking from inside. Also the dog will need to be taken out for potty so maybe they go outside to the driveway for example. But no walks.

[@ravenonyx122]

@snotpup1502 someone would have to be super nosey and watch them constantly to know exactly what is happening.

[@yvaincallipso84]

I don't like the "small dogs don't need walks" myth. The only thing that's right in is that they'll likely be fine with 1 spin around the block rather than 3, it's definitely true that walks are just as much about enrichment as exercise.

Peter's reminding me of a time when I was a kid and my uncle took me, my siblings and cousins out to a hike and we took our chihuahua. At some point we saw a playground and left my uncle in charge of the little one so we could play. When we came back to him he had tied up our dog to a tree and sat a safe distance away, probably afraid my 2 kilo dog would threaten his masculinity.

[@michellestratford9753]

I have an approximately 8 year old Chihuahua who is a rescue from the streets of Seoul, South Korea. She is so anxious and damaged that even after 3 years and a ton of training and advice, she still flinches when we move, feed or walk her. She doesn't like toys, play times or treats. It's exhausting.😢

[@juliepeters6960]

💔😞

[@ba2137]

she is more exhausted than you from how humans treated her. Instead of wanting her to be what you want her to be you will need to accept her as she is instead of making her something she is not . Only then will you be less exhausted and you will both be happy

[@dawndewing]

Poor dog, I have a rescue and go around her. I have a dog holder which she now jumps into when we go on walks. She will walk for a while then I put her little carrier down and she will get in or keep walking. Sometimes she does not want to be picked up so we do the taco, place pillow down dog gets in and I pick her up. Bottom line I love her so much and she brings me so much love. If you have no empathy don’t get a pet.

Chihuahuas get a bad rep but it's literally just people treating them like toys because they're so small. Mine was never held unless he wanted to, treated like an actual dog and he was pretty normal. Half of the stuff people do to these small dog they would never do to w big dog

[@tscully1504]

Nice work. The owners weren't bad, just inexperienced and not knowledgable about dog nature. Rescues can be more challenging as they may have issues from previous negative situations, but doublely rewarding in that you finally give them a good stable and loved life. I love all dogs but Chihuahuas are by far my favorites. The guy is wrong about them not being a man's dog, but it is a common perception. To me it is a sign of confidence. The Machete, Danny Trejo has had them and even shares his meals with them (so do I). That is another aspect of Chihuahuas. All dogs like love and attention, but Chis tend to be really close to you and want to be with you all the time.

[@annemiura7767]

This must be a relatively new series. Tha last shows I saw were a few years ago. They were filmed in America. Awful ! Loud, obnoxious people with too many dogs, spoilt kids and more money than brains. The producers had Victoria dressed up like I don’t know what! This is great to see normal, decent people with a the usual human flaws ( not arguing and shouting at each other) and a calm smiling Victoria. All resulting in a happy little dog.❤

No, not unless you wanted it bit off. Slowly forge a relationship with her. Feed her. Don't try so hard. You aren't going to get this dog to love you in a short amount of time. Don't lock the dog in the bedroom. Don't interrupt his time with the dog. The dog looks scared to me. You have to respect the pup and the pup will respect you.

OMG, a chore to walk your dog...it should be a pleasure to take her out to meet other people and dogs! Actually, she picks up on that feeling of remorse, the idea of taking her out!

Get used to taking them out 5-6 times a day, morning, noon, and night!
