Dachshund Sees People as GIANT Chew Toys | Full Episode | It's Me or The Dog

[@irisflower9316]

Wow I have never heard Victoria Stilwell advise anyone to go on “less walks” but that’s what the dog needed❤️ I’m so glad it worked out in the end❤️ great job to owner and trainer🥰🥰 That dog sure got a lovely home❤️

[@danielmoore2320]

That's not good advice

[@dawgythegreat]

@@danielmoore2320 It really depends. Usually it isn't but in these specific circumstances it kinda is.

[@flyezilla]

Over time, as he starts to decompress from less exposure to his triggers, she may be able to start desensitising him to some of his triggers as well.

You could tell she really did try different trainers before she got to Victoria. Victoria is just the Yoda of dog training.

Wonderful that Tiggy’s owner took him in when his original owner was ready to sell him-knowing full well what a challenge he could be. It is sad that the original person was ready to give up on him and sell for money, rather than search and give him to the best possible family. But he found it either way! He is a very lucky boy to now have an owner who invested the time and energy to accommodate him and find what’s best for him. ❤️

[@imalwaysright]

The original owner failed Tiggy was happy to give the problem to someone else

[@peggyhill7283]

I absolutely love Tiggy. He's a cutie pie & very smart. He & his owner are a good match. One of the very best owners I've seen. Thank you for your videos & all you do for dogs & their familes❣️

[@giselafiege7169]

It is always a good idea to learn dog speak. All dogs do show and tell us what they need. Humans just rarely put in the time to learn it. Dogs read humans perfectly and shower us with limitless unconditional love. So it would be advantageous to try to learn their language wether with a professional like this or really putting the time and commitment on your own.

[@karliechardi2229]

I love watching Victoria working with the dogs. I've a service dog that I trained with since a puppy. She'll be 10yrs old in a week. Have a new pup she's about 7mos now and she is VERY different training with. Episodes like this one are helpful with the new pup who is wild at times and a barker similar to this dachshund.❤❤❤

[@sdgakatbk]

Doxies are great dogs, but they need a certain kind of owner. I can tell by this video that Tiggy's owner is a good one.

[@maikehudson333]

Tiggy is so CUTE.

[@Sisterfifi]

My longhair Otto used to bark from the moment he knew he was going on a walk, it was an expression of happiness announcing to the world he is on a walk. I reckon Tighy is the same his tail was wagging while on the walk.

[@TokeTiger]

Great owner!!! Hope she doing well

I’ve learnt so much about working dogs from Victoria. Breeds I didn’t know were working dogs.

[@atyourservicedog]

Great video. If you have a dog that gets overwhelmed, you can use things like Rex Specs to cut down their side vision slightly. Just like blinkers are used on horses, the goggles cut out a little of their peripheral vision so they focus straight ahead. I trained with the clear lenses, and use the darker ones in the sun to protect his eyes. I bought them for eye protection, but noticed that he always stays focused ahead when walking!

[@wholeshebang1]

That's a great new resource for me to try. Thanks!

[@misomie]

Oooo I should look into these.

[@OneofthoseRainyDays]

I learned a new phrase today that I will definitely be using more in my GP vet hospital. We already try to reschedule nervous dogs with at least a few weeks/months between visits so that we aren't trigger stacking. Now I know there's a term for it.

0:56 - 1:09 Wait...Did I hear that part well? Sell a puppy... SELL a PUPPY when you don't want him bc he's barky and anxious...Like if it was an old-era game console/cell phone or an unwanted toy... I know at least Amy "buying him" was for rehoming Tiggy in a better place instead of him being sold by his ex-owner to God knows who...But really? "Adopting/Fostering" would have sound better in terms and actions for giving him to another person... :I

Everything has monetary value. She also said she didn't want to do this and it was her last option, not her first. Big difference.

Most Asians don’t allow shoes inside the house. I wonder if she was too intimidated to ask Victoria to take her shoes off as her guest didn’t have shoes on in the follow up portion.

[@jhseaeast9358]

Amazing ! Dachshund owner. He's only 15 months old and quite a cutey but still a puppy. He will be that active and "nuts" for quite a while and maturity will stop the tugging also, and that is fairly soon. Are you telling me she had no chew toys for him ? Geeez ! Good for the trainer to expose the treat game and the squeaky chew toy, get more. I use soft training treats, 3 calories, and hide 12 of them around the room. You'll be amazed and enjoy at how he finds them all.The squeak attraction is mimicking live prey, which dachshunds are so attracted to. I throw small squeaky Kong !!!, balls (the soft little tennis balls, not the hard ones) to fetch, and my dog not only learned to fetch them, but in time now only fetches the green (attraction) and the squeak (attraction) balls, sitting and chewing on them when she rests for a minute after many throws. And you can play fetch with him indoors also. Can be a small area. GREAT exercise and fun for you too. Trainer nailed it walking him in a quiet woody park !! And I was so happy to see you'd let him run free. If you can walk him in an area for a bit off leash, he will soon learn to stay close and follow you. Oh, in time, take him on city walks again sometimes. I guarantee he will not bark at anybody or anything and he will love the activity around him and the change of scenery. Just love your pup ! You will be SO attached to him, SMILE !! PS, would love to see a video if possilble, after a year.

[@amandamoshis9425]

I’m wondering if this would help my dachshund. She barks at everything outside. She randomly doesn’t sometimes I don’t really understand it besides thinking she’s anxious

[@atyourservicedog]

Doxies were bred to bark at rabbits, ground hogs etc, so don’t worry! They are just very vocal anytime they find something interesting. Just work with yours, I’m sure she’s just happy and excited! 😊

[@Purplesquigglystripe]

They have good noses so they might sense things you don’t even notice. My sister’s dachshund does that as well, but with less intensity. She responded really well to the find it game and being redirected with treats.

[@SF-ob8tj]

Seems like a lot of time spent walking. -edit. But after watching the entire episode I realized she would just spend more time on fewer walks so I guess it evens out as she was walking him twice a day.

[@jenniferdaulby5519]

I wondered why or if you would suggest desexing? I thought that with this wee Daschy it would've been a good idea. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

I expected the "Let's Go" command to help with walks when Tiggy barks at other dogs. I wonder why Victoria felt it would not help in Tiggy's case?

[@yoongitrash2699]

I think it's cause she wanted to adress the more root of the issue

[@fridad2914]

I’m sorry, I’m only 3 minutes in but she had MULTIPLE trainers and NO ONE could help them? Did she have the trainer(s) in the long run? Or did she just take a puppy course here, an obedience course there etc? Bc that’s the most common thing I’ve seen and heard, they take a 10 week course, once a week, and think that their dog will be “fixed”, then don’t stay consistent and forget everything 2-3 weeks after the class ended.

Not as easy when you live in a flat/apartment.

[@vikingdogmanship]

Seem Undersocialized and frustrated. Lack of leadership and connection with owner, sending mixed messages as she petted Tiggy while he was nibbeling on the owner. Also use a leash inside in the beginning so it is easier to guide the dog and get easier acsess. Toys, treats and games are great, but timing is everything. Giving positive feedback when being good without being asked

When you have a ramp to the sofa. Dog thinks he's a human and has taken over.

[@samwdavis]

As a balanced trainer, I could fix the humping and mouthing in 15 minutes. The barking on the walk, I could solve in 15 minutes. It would probably take another couple of hours to train the OWNER, not the dog. There is NOTHING difficult about this case. And in the end, the relationship between the dog and owner would be SO MUCH BETTER!! This positive-only approach that Victoria uses is CRAP!!! Aside from that, this dog is DEFINITELY NOT a dachshund. It is definitely a mix that includes dachshund, but treating it like it's a "dachshund" is ridiculous. Victoria... do you know what a dachshund LOOK LIKE???

Then encouraging your horrible dog to chew people is perhaps not the best thing to do. Give him up. Let somebody who really IS a trainer to work with the dog.

[@wholeshebang1]

She doesn't have to - she & Tiggy did great with Victoria's lessons, especially controlling Tiggy's barking on walks & taking him to quieter, greener spaces. She also has learned to guide Tiggy in the scenting activities, playtime only on the floor, and a fuzzy, crackling, squeaky toy to distract him from tugging on guests' clothing.
