Can we just appreciate how understanding both the daughters are? They are always at their mother’s side, helping in any way possible. They really are trying their best for their mother and all of them obviously really care for dally. They scold her, but they never beat her, harm her and even more they do everything possible to prevent her getting hurt. I’m really glad they were able to train dally into a nicer dog, as a family they really deserve it.

[@brittanynicoleclark2927]

Dals don’t bark much! Not the 4 I’ve had

[@itsonlysound]

She's hyper-intelligent and surprisingly non-aggressive when being held back from good or having it taken out of her mouth. Most food driven dogs will get irritated and snap or growl when you try to stop them. But she's just like 'no worries, I'll bide my time!'

[@ItsHaisho]

This behavior is NOT uncommon for Dalmations at all. They're extremely smart, and if you don't give them an outlet for that intelligence, or train them, then this is the result you will get. Chances are the behavior started because Dally was bored, and then when she realized she could get a yummy treat out of it, the behavior spiraled out of control from there.

[@yottaforce]

Agree. The moment I saw small house/garden and Dalmatian I knew what the problem was. It's wonderful dog but I wouldn't own one.

[@noorin7336]

yeah this is definitely another breed i have crossed off my list, next to dobermans/most shepherds/huskies. they are extremely intelligent and athletic and if left without a proper, regular outlet they become destructive. they are amazing dogs ofc, but only in the right hands. unfortunately too many people buy animals bc they're so popular or they look super cool/cute and forget that it is an intelligent creature in need of training and responsibility

[@Island_vampire]

Hayley Mich my roommate has a Dalmatian puppy, and I agree a bored Dalmatian is a very dangerous thing

She was abandoned as well, food hoarding/obsession and escapism are common anxiety symptoms in abandoned/rescue animals

[@Whispen]

Erin Maurer I had a dog (German Pinscher) who was food driven but she wasn’t the best with training. When we first got her, I tried to teach her to play fetch so she could get exercise and she couldn’t get grab it right. She loved food, and really got exited at the sight of a treat in my hand. I tried to teach her “grab it” to start it off, but she didn’t get that she had to hold it and would shake it, and then look at me expectantly. I didn’t give her a treat and tried to get her to hold it, she lost interest.

[@mia_marie01]

It was actually good to see how the owner didn't let Dally run up to dogs on a leash. My dog went through significant traumatic experiences with other dogs before we rescued him (he even had stitches all over his belly from being attacked) and so he is still afraid of other dogs which manifests as aggression towards them. The only time he won't try to be aggressive towards them is if they're small or I introduce him very slowly, controlled, and carefully. However, we live in an area where SO many people let their dogs off leash. Because of this, we have to muzzle him and can't even take him on hikes anymore because of how many random dogs off leash run up to him. We've been trying to work with him on his anxieties but it's hard when you can't control the situation. He still can't really manage well and we have to avoid other dogs a lot of the time (after 7 years of working with him). So when the mom said that she leashed Dally because she didn't ask if it would be alright if the two dogs played, I was SO HAPPY! I think recall training is important but I wish that Victoria showed owners doing more on-leash things to keep their dogs active. Maybe it's different in the UK but in the US there are dog parks where you can specifically go to have your dogs off leash so when people have them off leash outside of dog parks, its so frustrating.

[@danielledewitt1]

Mia Stephenson No dog parks here.

[@boniboni4912]

Yes this! I have 2 rescued dogs that are reactive one out fear and the other one seems to be just aggression, but I have tried for years to desensitize them without any success because people leave their dog’s unattended, here they leave dogs go out to the street without supervision (even tho isn’t supposed to by law) so controlling my dogs reaction is very hard when dogs come up to them and don’t leave and the owner is nowhere to be found, they had biten me (redirected aggression) and biten one another, but the sad thing is here we don’t have dog parks, I’m actually thinking maybe I should build one

[@mia_marie01]

@@boniboni4912 I’m so sorry to hear that! It sounds like you’ve had the same problems as me! I heard about something called a pet corrector (it’s just a can of air but it blows really loudly and sounds similar to a cat’s hiss). I desensitized my dog to the sound of it so if an off leash dog approaches us I can press the button and make air come out. It might help with scaring the dogs away for you too!

[@SabakaJunglay]

My two dogs are often off leash. One is social but has great manners and doesn't approach dogs that don't want to socialize. The other isn't social and doesn't approach dogs. The issue isn't dogs being off leash, it's how they behave. One of our dogs (a different dog) had anxiety and would fear bite dogs that ran up to him, so I get the frustration

[@VaniaAjah]

We have some dog parks here, but mostly parks only a pet friendly parks and almost all dog's owner leashed their dogs.

She does need permission before letting her dog approach, everyone does. Doesn't matter how "friendly" your dog is. Don't let your dog approach other dogs without asking the other owner first.

I tried teaching my dog to come back with the whistle, but after I stopped giving her treats for responding and coming back, she stopped listening to it...

[@goonnscream]

Well that's the thing with recall... if you want it to be reliable 100%, you need to be reliable with treats as well. Or use a long line for a few month so they learn there's no option of not coming back. For optimal results use both ;)

[@mirrepoix]

you don't go straight from treats to no treats! you phase them out slowly. start giving treats every other time, then every third time, etc. etc. until you're no longer giving treats and they've got the command. if you stop treating cold turkey they catch on and if their motivation was just food, they're no longer interested in listening. some dogs are so food motivated that this will be a process (and you should still give treats sometimes when giving commands, even after phasing them out as a regular reward, also!). if a treat is needed for them to listen, sometimes that's just what you've gotta do. i hope this helps! it doesn't always work but it's worked well for me with dogs i've worked with.

Usually this occurs when you remove the treat too suddenly or when the recall isn't reliable. When training with treats it's best to gradually phase them out as she becomes reliable - so starting with a jackpot reward of multiple treats successively and lots of praise/fuss if the recall is perfect. Then as she begins to understand gradually reduce the amount of treats she is given but continue with the praise/fuss. Over time she'll learn that she will get rewarded with praise if she returns to you. Dogs trained with reward-based training for any command will see a decline in responses over time - known as the extinction phase. This is because the dog begins to learn that even if she responds to your commands she doesn't get a reward. To combat this, you should randomly reward your dog with a high value treat occasionally so she realises that there is potential for a reward. Which, increases the reliability of the command again. This goes for all commands, even a basic sit! But always reward with praise, it may not seem like much, but dogs generally love attention. I hope this helps :D

Depending on the dog you need to give treats for a while but it can take surprisingly long to completely phase out treats. What you might want to do it occasionally give treats when your dog comes back. That way your dog still gets a reward but it's not all the time.

I have a galgo, smart, stuburn, cute. Bot off lead a bit hard to tackle so seeing this and comments will reintroduce treats for better recall and other commands. The food thing took me a week so good on that one.

[@becky1992]

I love Dally, she's so cute and smart (and greedy, like all Dalmatians) and I laughed so hard when the voice over guy said "Dally has resisted the jam tarts!" 😂👏🏻🐶

[@sidilicious11]

She’s one smart dog. The training worked beautifully!

[@lisadlblogs2585]

Dally is sooooooooooooooooo smart!! I wish the owners saw it earlier on, because they could teach her so much more!

[@sophielow3889]

Dally has so much potential, especially because dally is so food motivated. If you can use that to the families advantage she could be such a well behaved dog.

[@rc4443]

I have so much respect for Debbie. She's doing her very best to be a responsible and respectful dog owner. She just didnt have the resources or skills to handle Dally until Victoria came.

[@Lichi-tv2lf]

The dog is cute though 😍😍😍😂😂

Cute looking, not behaving cute at all!!

[@cbg4ev]

Idk why but Victoria popping her head around the doorframe at 20:10 makes me laugh 😆

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

A few seconds in and let me guess, the dog is bored, not walked enough, not socialised, mixed messages from the owners and a little trauma if its a rescue (comfort eating or history of being starved?)

[@chantelbarcomb1766]

That's most dog problems in the world

[@angelinacamacho8575]

Most likely a history of being starved since was abandoned. Most animals become masters of food hiding spots bacause 1 it resembles what they went through finding food in the wild 2 the animal is super smart (a trait that makes getting food easier) and super bored, 3 the animal was never taught that those food hiding spots are off limits to them, 4 absolute 0 impulse control.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

mixed with the behavioral quirks specific to dalmatians. They're far too clever to be left to their own devices without an outlet

[@ts371]

This is a wonderful episode! I know so many frustrated dog owners with incredibly intelligent dogs like her. It really is just a matter of learning how to use your dog's intelligence to everyone's advantage so you don't feel like a prisoner in your own home!!

[@tcaustine6680]

Such a wholesome episode. I have always watched some cuts of Victoria's videos and this is the first time that i have watched a full episode. So educative, and funny at the same time. Almost felt like Dally was some starring greatly paid actor who rocked his role haha. kinda feel sorry i found their struggles with their beautiful dalmation very entertaining😂 but happy their adorable dog took to training pretty well.

[@anaalina5964]

0:55 That dog is agile! No joke.

[@angie.castle]

Shows how much progress can come about in just 2 weeks of firm, consistent training and fitting it to your dog's style (i.e. Dally is a working dog who is food driven). I used to foster dogs, and to make sure they were as adoptable as possible, I trained them. Some picked up tricks and commands consistently within a couple of days while others just a couple of weeks. When meeting adopters, I stress the importance of keeping up the training and consistency. I still keep in touch sometimes, and the doggos are doing great

[@athymybeloved]

why is this dog literally what I dream of to be? Like if I were a dog I’d be the one chasing my tail and whining if I don’t reach it.

[@AN-ou6qu]

What a good doggy! It makes my heart so happy when owners finally realize how incredible and smart and intelligent dogs are! Good Dally!
