Daughter Forced to Help out with Dogs She HATES! | Full Episode | It's Me or The Dog

[@Catbooks]

Reading some of the other comments, I see I'm not alone in thinking the daughter shouldn't be the one with the job of cleaning up after these unhousebroken dogs. It was the mother who wanted them, feeling like having one child wasn't enough, and she was responsible for housetraining and cleaning up after them. They weren't the daughter's dogs, they were the mother's. I thought Victoria was going to call her on that, but didn't. To give her credit, the mother did seem like she was willing to put in the work with these dogs, and that's good. She hadn't trained the dogs at all, and I'm glad she's decided to.

[@helentaylor7132]

All they needed was to be shown how.

[@anonymoose116]

Absolutely. It's the mothers job to potty train the dogs.

[@kerfluffle3781]

Its odd that so many people in the comments are calling these "family dogs" and using that as justification for the daughter to be stuck with 100% of the poop duty. A family dog is a dog that the whole family wants and enjoys, not just a dog that happens to live with your family. If the daughter didn't want the dogs, why should she be stuck with the worst part of having them and punished for her mother's willingness to leave filth to her.

[@j800r_aswell]

The video title is clickbait and you fell for it. Just watch the content. She doesn't hate the dogs. If you live in the family home then you need to chip in, or pay rent.

[@amycontreras410]

Ohh absolutely, just because the kid wanted dogs doesnt mean the parent is obligated to get them! She's just as much at fault if not moreso for the dogs being raised improperly gah (Coming back to add, the american episodes are more dramatized than the UK episodes so it could be something like that, catering to a narrative)

[@Gemini-horrorchannel]

She does it because everybody in the family needs to pick up the slack of the dogs and each episode or else the training does not work. If not, everybody is on board and does the same exact training

I guess you aren't a single parent, so it's difficult to understand. And yes, dogs are family pets, and share a home with people, so they all have to work together with responsibility. Being responsible for health and well-being of another being can strengthen bonds. As long as there is good stuff in the relationship, too!

Doreen needs to clean up after her own dogs!

[@auranoxhighpriestess5475]

The whole situation starts out with Doreen explaining that she wanted the dogs because she only had one child. We don't hear anything from her daughter about wanting the dogs or even wanting to be part of the training and pet care process. These are clearly *Doreen's* dogs. I don't know why the daughter got dragged into the process and literally the worst part of the pet care process with the cleaning up dog poo. She was excited in the end when she was taught to properly train the dogs, sure, but that just seemed really pushy to assume she wanted in on the process to begin with when she clearly didn't want to be involved until she was forced. Just my two cents.

[@morganablackwater2017]

She will soon have none child and only 3 dogs... If she would be my mother she would be off the family tree...

[@melt2947]

Your two cents are correct. Shame Victoria can’t see this.

[@jordanphilipperris]

I'm gonna add my 2 1936 Dot Canadian Pennies worth (I don't actually have anything anywhere near that valuable, just trying to make a point, ha, ha) because that is how strongly a feel about the absolute BS that the daughter had to deal with, and the stuff she probably still has to deal with, assuming she had not somehow moved out with the impossible to afford costs of living these days!! She was 16 during the episode and had to deal with so much BS for ages, then to be told all of this, for dogs that her mother wanted and had no clue how to train and from the looks of thing just left as much mess as possible for her daughter to have to deal with so said mother could try to get her way out of it as much as she could!! Then the mother gets the royal treatment at the end!! I am beyond baffled at Victorias unbelievable ignorance here given how amazing she has been with many others!! You would think she of all people would have known better!! I don't even know if there is a word in the English language to describe how shocked I am at a person like Victoria putting all of that into place!! It sickens me to think what the daughters life was like shortly after those dogs entered it!! Seriously though, how is it possible that the daughter is not an absolute neurotic mess?!!

[@PitbullJackie81]

Ridiculous! Why have 3 dogs if she can't look after them properly?! And then to expect the daughter to clean up the mess which only happens because the mother has absolutely no clue how to housetrain a dog?! Shame on you Victoria for making the daughter clean up her mums failures

[@jordanphilipperris]

I was pissed off too!! The daughter should not have had to clean anything up!! She was 16 years old, and who knows how long she had to listen to her mothers whining before that!! Victoria was shockingly clueless and made an absolutely horrible call on that one!!

[@debbiej.2168]

Interesting that Chubby runs to the daughter when he's afraid. Also, it seems a little cruel for Victoria to pretend that they're going out for a day at the zoo, and then makes the daughter clean up horse excrement. It seems like it's more important to teach the dogs how to behave well outside, so they can go out to relieve themselves more often. Then they won't have to clean up so much dog waste in their home. That's the biggest problem. Victoria doesn't usually seem so out of touch.

[@Catbooks]

I noticed he ran to the daughter too. Didn't like it that the daughter was forced to clean up poop as a "surprise," while the mother got a spa treatment and massage as her surprise. The mother wanted the dogs but expected her daughter to clean up after them, and then Victoria reinforced it. My sympathies are with the daughter. Agree, Victoria isn't usually this off in reading situations, but she was way off here.

[@valstewart6661]

​@Catbooks totally agree! The mom made the decision of getting the dogs. She should take on the brunt of the work. Her daughter hasn't had a vacation either and she's been forced into this situation. She didn't choose it. I think the dogs behave better for the daughter and she may find she enjoys the dogs now that they are under control. And did it never occurred to the mom to get a gate? Duh!! 😂

[@waterbenderpoodles]

The dogs are neurotic because Doreen treats her dogs like human babies because she sees them as a consolation prize for not being able to have more children, and Diana never wanted these dogs and it's unfair to force her to take care of dogs she never asked for, especially when it comes to cleaning up their waste.

So many comments & I agree, dogs were mom's emotional support decision and her also busy teenage daughter was unfairly bearing 50& of the dog care; most of it resulting from lack of training/socialization. Once they were part of their family there was only a few options: 1) Train/socialize properly (Thank goodness Victoria helped with beginning that process.) 2) Rehome 3) Euthanize. I'm glad they both were happier that the first option worked. I guess I'm surprised that the mom being a teacher didn't realize right away that education/training was necessary, even crucial, especially with troubled animals.

Woah, why is Victoria dumping responsibility on a minor who had no choice of these dogs being part of the house??

The only animals I ever cared for as a kid were animals that were 'mine'. They were ones I asked for, wanted, my mom deemed me capable of caring for (depending on age), and we had long talks about my responsibilities to that animal. It doesn't feel like the daughter wanted the animal or if she did appropriate discussions on responsibilities were not had. That's all on the mom. If she made that decision alone, she can take care of the animals alone or rehome them.

My dad didnt want my moms dog. The only thing she asks him to do is to help her hold her when they need to clean the ears, maybe help hold the line when she pulls and mom is afraid of not being able to hold her back, and to try to use some of the commands to get her down and/or away instead of just pushing her away. That's it. Mom walks her, takes the poop, takes her to the vet, trains her, plays with her, takes her on training courses, watches over her when they have guests. It's mom's dog, so the help she asks of him should only be what she is not able to do herself or which is best for the dog.

I really wanted a kitten, we have two cats now, and my hubby made the deal with me that they are my responsibility, feeding, litter, playing, getting up in the middle of the night if necessary, getting them in their carriers for the vet, etc. Our oldest cat is 4 and the youngest is 2 and I have stuck to our deal. Hubby will help out if I’m out and they need fed or if I’m unable to do it, like today as I have the flu. It’s so much easier and fairer doing it this way, he feels respected, I got my kitties and the cats are well cared for without arguments.

[@m6666]

Because kids these days need to learn responsibility. If parents do everything for their kids, they'll never leave home or get a job.

[@Catbooks]

@@Loki-and-Thor Sounds like you and your hubs have an excellent relationship. Good for you!

[@Catbooks]

@@m6666 In this case, it was the mother who needed to learn responsibility. She wanted the dogs, she got the dogs, she didn't train them, and then expected her daughter to clean up after them. Nope.

[@raeraebadfingers]

Okay I am definitely on the daughter's side in this one but I couldnt help but laugh at "I have a degree in poop!"

16:29 my therapist after a session 💀

[@ToxyBlack]

I remember as a kid (was around 8 years old) a relative I used to visit had an abused dog in their backyard yard and they said to never touch or even get close cuz would bite. Ofc as a kid I didn’t like to listen and because I was bored I kept being curious about the dog and felt pity, started visiting more often bring him food, throwing it from afar cuz I was still scared. One day I saw him wiggling his tail and I let him approach me more and he let me pat him. He was never mean or growl at me and actually loved me patting his head. Now as grown adult watching this video reminded me of him and throwing food from afar technique is real.

[@Silver87sc]

Victoria screwed up. As someone who's own mom chose the dog over her daughter? I resent the hell out of that and i like Victoria a little bit less now. Bless that kid, i how she rips into her mom at some point.

[@schipperkeandcats3469]

This is one the mom if you want pets make sure everyone in the family wants the dogs or just get one dog so you can manage it at least im not blaming the daughter for not wanting to help honestly she had no saying in the decision

[@mettamorph4523]

Thumbs down on this one. Daughter didn't want or ask for the dogs. Mom wanted dogs, didn't train them and delegated the dirty work to Daughter. Hope Daughter moved out asap.

[@sweetabby1106]

Chubby is behaving like a puppy mill dog. I used to work at a shelter and helped rehabbed many of them. Victoria did a great job!

[@Luna_moon_1127]

So wait a minute the dogs are the moms pets. But the daughter has to clean up after them when they poop in the house….. like that’s not her responsibility, it’s yours . I’ve NEVER made my boyfriend or his family clean up after my dog

[@WonderGeology]

The first thing i do if i get a new dog is immediately go into training! Why do these people (not just these two) NOT train their dogs!

[@lisalo.lisalo]

She used the prong collars not correctly so of course the dogs were still pulling and didn’t follow her commands because she was also full of anxiety. But all the surprises she received are amazing.

[@rachealjohnson9739]

THANK YOU 🙌🏼

[@jacquibradley1598]

Iknow what I would say if I was the daughter, "Was I not enough for you", and "Why the heck am I doing your dirty work" You wanted them, Doreen, do the work!!

[@Libbathegreat]

True, I guess Diana should be grateful that Doreen _didn't_ have other kids because she'd have expected Diana to do all the caring for them too. Parents like this are absolutely infuriating and deserve neither kids nor pets.

[@marysnyder3717]

I am so surprised that Victoria is punishing the daughter who didn’t even want the dogs. Why couldn’t Victoria help the mother see that her daughter is being ignored and worked too hard for the mother’s hobbies. I can’t wait till the girl goes to college and the mom is stuck with all her mess on her own.

[@RabbitAndTheLabBestFriends]

She said I have a degree in poop I about died

[@cutiepawsPL]

shame on the mother, adopting three dogs and expecting her daughter who wanted no part in it clean up after her unhousebroken dogs? did she even TRY to train them in the first place?? the mother is unbelieveable

[@dark-shadow_]

I disagree with Victoria that the daughter need to help clean all the poo and pee. She didn't want the dogs... They can expect her to feed the dog at least because that's such a small effort and maybe walk them but the mom is the one who wanted 3 dogs! So she better cleans up after them.

[@donnajohnson9324]

In Australia it's just one bite and the owner loses their dog and now the owner goes to jail and dog gets put down

[@LaDimplez91]

The ending was so fulfilling 😊 I am so proud of Doreen and Diana and, ESPECIALLY, the doggies ❤

[@mollybailes5161]

I have dogs and I dont ask or expect anyone to take care of them in any way. I can ask someone to help, for example if I am sick or something but I personally think its very wrong to expect it. They are my sole responsibility and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@joancarrino890]

I don't see how it's fair for the mother to get three dogs and expect her teenage daughter to clean up poop and pee there's no way my daughter would do that especially a teenager. They usually have a life of Their Own

[@donnaarmitage9194]

I just love victoria i dont know why people are being nasty not liking the mother all she wanted was help and yes maybe she expects much of the daughter but in the future this will benefit her to be responsible

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

“there’s poop clean it up 👉👉👉” Why was she pointing like that 😭 why couldn’t she have cleaned it if she saw it. How does she expect a teenager who didn’t want the dogs to begin with to clean up poop with 0 complaints? As well if you’re having difficulty with 1 dog why add 2 more??

[@Selenaelena-ge6dk]

You know what's great. Saying over and over again. "i dont want a dog" "please dont get a dog I'm too busy to care for it properly" "dont get a dog unless your going to take it to the vet and bathe/groom it regularly" "i dont think you should get a dog if you never take it for walks or play with it/have time to spend with it" "i dont want the responsibility of a dog" And then they get a dog anyways that has adhd and refuse to refill the meds they came with or even take them for basic checkups or get them fixed, and you now have a full time dog they occasionally pat on the head before bed and nothing else. Its real fun.

[@autumn557]

You can tell how self centered the mom is by not only fostering responsibility onto her daughter but she named her daughter after herself. She literally only cares about herself.

[@rmason5477]

Train that woman then the dog can be trained, the mum needs to do the clean up

[@teagoldleaf4137]

Hopefully a good outcome. Much love to the fam and dogs. We have a dog that needed help and we thought we were doing everything right but each dog is special in their own way, Ours is a adopted yorkie which was never socialized. Go forward and learn.

[@KittenBowl1]

Victoria is wrong here I’m with other people commenting that the mother is fully responsible for the poop duty not the daughter. Why the heck Victoria forced daughter to clean up?! It’s beyond ridiculous. The mother is the one who decided to get not only one but three dogs. For god sake don’t get THREE dogs if you can’t even take care of one!! And stop forcing the daughter or husband to look after the dogs they never agreed to get. I don’t care the mother is a teacher or a Mail woman or a doctor we all have a job. It’s not the other people in the household to pick up after the dogs they decided to get against their spouse or daughters approval. Ridiculous!!

[@eyrunsigrunardottir6977]

This was such a good episode and amazing to see the dogs get calmer.

[@teagoldleaf4137]

😊

[@teagoldleaf4137]

I really respect Doreen's determination to not take the easy way out and give up. Even though she was tired and stressed, she kept trying. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals.

[@jacquibradley1598]

But what about her daughter??

[@Melantha_Twinzzone]

Nope, you're completely wrong, no disrespect or anything. It is so much easier to keep everything the way it is. Otherwise, she needs to find a house for them, what if someone doesn't want all of them, then she has to deal with 3 different people, what if they are bad to her dogs, what if she feels regret and anxiety after giving them away, what if she gives them away but then they are returned for not being untrained and she is blamed.... I can go on and on. Easier to just leave everything as is. So whatever perseverance you saw in her, it ain't it.

[@morganablackwater2017]

And even more by how they treat their daughters...

[@dinomomruns]

I never force my kids to help with the dogs. They do it on their own and it makes me so proud. I make sure to praise them for their efforts.

[@GreekBlueFire]

I'm with Diana in this one. If rasing dogs is a team work. Then the mother is not doing the job. She is "ordering and delegate" the job to his child! And more over " when she is doing it, directing how she should do it". Com' on That's it a "if you can do better do it yourself, and if you are not going to... then SHUT UP!"

[@SofiaRose-x5o]

why she got 3 dogs if she can't even Manage to take care of them. and then she just Is expects for her daughter to help? it's the moms Sponsibility to tale ceremony of the dogs. she was the one who wanted it and just telling her daughter to do it?

[@sugakookie6303]

When I moved to a rural area with a big yard I got my Labs, my son isn’t a dog person and wasn’t really asked about it so I look at it as my responsibility to take care of the dogs not his. He does do minimal things like feed/water them and let them out( they have their own fenced in area) without asking but they are my responsibility.

[@rachealjohnson9739]

Doreen is the nightmare neighbor and mother

[@stefgreen5237]

Lol that product placement was very strange

[@angelinacamacho8575]

biggest walking mistake owners make is making their dog exciteable before a walk. this is why some are leash reactive. just take the leash out without saying a word and put it on then do something besides going for a walk like watch tv or read a book. dogs need to know leashes and walking tools do not mean we are going for a walk this minute, with mine sometimes the leash means bathtime but it doesnt scare him or anything. and teaching leash pressure is a good thing to do too.

[@louiseallen4810]

Doreen gets nails done, massage, choccy and the daughter gets to scoop poop. Seems unfair since Doreen was the one who wanted the dogs. Like to hear victoria justify this one

[@carialea]

The mom should've took ALL the responsibility because SHE wanted 3 dogs

[@larac.7315]

Victoria is so talented I love watching her, she takes no prisoners when needed but she is also so very kind.

[@elisabetta611]

In this episode she gaslit a child and enabled the mother who CAUSED the mess. NOT kind.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

There are many tools in the toolbox of a rehabilitation trainer, yes one is the prong collar in extreme cases but there are only two the one with the ends are polished over into round ends so they will not do damage to the dogs neck, the second is all the prongs capped with plastic caps. But the most important is that only professional should be licensed to use them, and will be checked yearly the same as a E collar.

[@rachelh5467]
