@@alexbennet4195 Oh, yeah, of course. If I got a dog from a breeder I would be very careful about who I got it from. I would make sure the breeder lets me see the dogs and the puppies, make sure they show me where the dogs spend most of their time, etc. Meeting in a neutral location is a huge red flag, and the couple should've known better. I just meant that, in terms of training, there was nothing the couple could've really done.

[@natalieJe10]

As a person who spent about 4 months in search of where to get my golden retriever for service dog training I couldn't agree more. We asked doctors, other patients, websites, and we visited all the farms before we committed. It's so sad it gets to this level with breeding. I'm ALL shelter for just pet companion purposes but I'm also for specific jobs for specific breeds. People like their breeder just screw up the reputation/purpose of them.

@@zaddy3498 For me it would be too shady... Another thing: If a mother gets too upset if a stranger comes into the same room where the puppies are, then I know that she doesn't even trust her owner and this is another bad sign. So I personally would never buy a puppy from such a place. The first 14 weeks are very, very important for a dog. That's why I want to be sure that my puppy comes from a good place and where the puppy had the possibility to grow up with its mother and the rest of the litter. If the first weeks were not good, then you will probably have a dog with issues all his life.

They ask the right questions and were somewhat on track with Bella already, they really just needed the expertise of a professional like Victoria.

Our 3 small dogs didn't come from an "offical" breeder as they're mixed not pure-bred. But still we went to her home and she showed us mum and the puppies, we got to cuddle and play.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I used to raise Sphynx cats. I encouraged prospective new owners to come over and interact with all of my cats, male and female, and the kittens. I gave them a tour of the cattery as well. They were shown what my cats ate, their medical records, their cattery furnishings (scratching posts, litter boxes, etc.). I always kept the cattery and home very clean and odor free. The people were given info about the breed as well. They were able to get their kitty at the age of 12 weeks, no sooner, even though some of them wanted to get their kitty as young as 6 weeks. I explained why this is not advisable--kittens, as well as puppies, need the socialization of their mother and littermates, and to have all of their baby shots before leaving my cattery. They could come and visit their kitty of course, if it was too young to leave for its new home. They were also introduced to my cats' veterinarian. (Jan Griffiths).

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Also, my cats were raised cage free, except for a tom who sprayed excessively. He was caged, but the enclosure was spacious, well furnished (scratch post, litter box, his bed, shelves to lounge on, etc.). This cat was trained to harness and leash, and was walked daily in my backyard, and was given lots of attention. He was a very affectionate cat, and was neutered and relieved of stud duty at the age of 6. I still kept him, but he became a loved house pet. (Jan Griffiths).

Too difficult to regulate if I had to guess. Anyone can breed pets like nothing. I think they should make people get a special license to list animals for sale. That would cut it right down.

The females only had a little once every two years and they sometimes traveled to a different country just to find the perfect male. Many people wanted a puppy (we sometimes had over 100 calls a day!) and they took a lot of time to decide who was right for a puppy. They asked an unbelievable amount of questions and when the future owners were decided, they went to visit their homes to see how they live. The future owners visited us three times in total so that the puppys would get to know them. They always remained in contact with and helped with problems. I truly agree that weims are wonderful dogs, I sadly only got to know a few who were trained properly and had enough exercise.

I love how in special cases Victoria uses the simplest thing like Peanut butter or clickers or different harness and its like Night and Day change for the dog something so simple easily make a huge difference in the dogs lifestyle but also i admire her training methods too

[@kaitlinski493]

These humans have a lovely home

[@wastedinspiration]

Reminds me of our border collie/shepherd mix. She was pretty nervous around new people and super protective of me in particular. Normally very well behaved and eager to please but vicious at a drive through window. We solved most of our issues by having guests greet her first (I know, it sounds weird, but I never saw her be aggressive on her own behalf) so she was comfortable with them... I know it's not the same, but this greeting ritual reminded me of that

[@AyaBlue22]

8:56 - wasn't Bella still meant to be leashed around guests?

[@Mkmc18]

I was a little worried when they let her out of the baby gate without the leash. But it seemed to make Victoria happy

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

Oh wow, I totally missed that!

[@viceb7]

Yea I was surprised by that too, figured it was edited goofy

[@branfeather]

I applaud the woman for suggesting they reopen the door, just knowing her dog felt trapped and it was adding to the stress. Probably saved the camera (or crew!)

[@EyeconicLaura]

Probably some of the best owners so far on this show

[@jillcarnegie3641]

Great video. People really need the to see this and learn from it

[@mrsfuzzypants5295]

Omg I just got buggies today and a I got a cat in November and I’m watching dog vids lol I always watch these and my mum and dad says we are never getting a dog

[@dominicstarr3065]

I just LOVE how Bella disappears around the corner barking her head off at bo . . . and then a few seconds later pops back around to lick up the peanut butter without issue XD

[@indigomoon7848]

I feel so sorry for this poor dog. I hope things got better for her.

[@lampshades120]

"This is Bella." **fierce barking**

[@illwait4u]

Dog: I AM ANGER! DONT LIKE GATE! also dog: BORK BORK! Mmm yummy peanut butter 😋

[@creed4308]

What a refreshing episode!

[@deeppurple3928]

I need this training for my mixed mutt 🙁 she’s really untrusting and weary of others.

[@m.z.593]

You can do this or if that is too much increase distance. Check out LAT (Look At That) Training. It is for aggressive dogs but since it is basically just classical conditioning it should help

[@amyanderson9652]

I have a pit heeler mix and he acts super similar

[@IfYouHaveTo-Ask]

Kudos to the camera person who was hopefully wearing full bite suit protection and is still part of “It’s Me Or The Dog”. With a baby on the way Miss Victoria is likely still on the case. I can’t imagine her walking away with a “good luck with that” attitude. She is a professional through and through, they’re lucky to have her in their corner

[@Aimee0206]

I *love* these owners! In Bella's room, they realised what was triggering Bella and fixed it without any input from Victoria. Not many owners can do that, they should be proud of themselves.

[@poemone2257]

I do like that the first couple uses a room instead of a crate

[@beverleybalshaw9119]

A friend of mine went to look at a puppy years ago. She did see the puppies with their mother, but things quickly took a strange turn when they referred the puppies as kitchen appliances!! The puppies were due to leave their mother but NOT ONE had been to the vet for their health check, etc. They were only in it for the money. My friend declined and headed for the door. Her parting words were "You won't even get a Kettle out of me!! She wasn't supporting someone who couldn't care less about the pups, OR their poor mother who probably had litters previously just to fund furniture for the house!! HORRIBLE!!! 👹

[@blackwolf9893]

Dogs are so easy and great at training when it comes to food. I believe that it’s a very affective positive way to train dogs and should be used more. Bella will now associate people with food as a good experience. Victoria is really good with this kind o training as well as placing boundaries that’s apart of Bella’s aggression is the boundaries. Any dog can become aggressive without adequate training. I’m so glad that the owners did not want to give up on their fur baby! Kudos to Bella and family I know together they can do it! 😁🐾🌞🐕🐕🐕

[@aienma8458]

I'm so thankful that I got my Chi from a wonderful breeder. I got to meet the mother and father and the other puppies. My Chi chose me!

I think victoria ia very nice to help dogs she is the best and the other people If you agree like down below😁🐶

[@sheriwilcox9630]

I need her to come to my house 🏠 because my dog tazzy like to bark and pull on the leash I have a hard time walking him he is fixed

[@sandralabrecque823]

@Sheri Wilcox Do what Victotia teaches in other videos. When dog pulls on the leash, turn the dog around and walk the opposite way until the dog pulls on the leash again, then turn around and walk the opposite way (first direction). Keep doing that until the dog no longer pulls.

Very common for the breed I personally have met 6 every single one was unstable.

[@ilive4anime.]

All the ones I've met have been suuuuuper calm and friendly

[@kazzoey9164]

I don’t mean to assume, but it could be due to understimulation. Weimaraners are an incredibly intelligent and energetic breed, and *will* get destructive and out of hand if they don’t receive proper exercise, both physically and mentally. Many pet-dog people underestimate just how much exercise that actually is, and think that a simple run will do the job. These people end up with bored, misbehaved dogs.

[@kazzoey9164]

Also, just like any other dog, they need proper socialization, which many people don’t provide (or provide incorrectly).

[@angelamacdonald4254]

@@kazzoey9164 Considering they stated he was acquired from a questionable breeder he has genetic reasons for being unstable I'd guarantee it. Say what you will there are far more crappy ones than good. I've worked with champion show dogs as well as ones perchased for hunting that were all nervous wrecks. This dog was showing no signs of destructive behavior, was physically fit and walked fairly well on a leash. Would never recommend one.

[@kazzoey9164]

Ange Mac I wasn’t trying to imply that poor breeding doesn’t play a part in behavior, I was addressing Weimaraners as a whole. Of course a poorly bred Weimaraner is likely to have temperamental issues, that’s a given in any backyard bred dog, but the breed as a whole isn’t “unstable”. I was just listing reasons as to why even a well-bred Weim could be misbehaved. I have also worked with the breed, and have seen both extremes. A misbehaved Weimaraner is a nightmare i’ll admit, but a well-bred, well-exercised, and well-trained Weimaraner is a very impressive dog.

[@julijabroka3918]

Omg this is literally my dog's behavior. I'm following all her tips

My breeder that I got my dog from also met not at the house and my dog was rlly sick and dirty and sad when we got him but now he is very happy

[@Inamichan]

Someone was going to get the dog. It was going to go to someone’s home no matter what. I’m glad it was to a home where they were willing to adapt and work with their dog.

[@potatoman6665]

People taking about Victoria Camera man- uhh hello I almost got bitten here!

[@nimeryaspawnbrd1049]

for once, here we have a couple of owners who are very far from the clueless jerks we usually see. they are capable to effectively manage their dog, have figured out most of the problems by themselves, and are asking for help on a very specific issue that is actually hard to address, sometimes even for a professional. very good to watch 😊👍 oh! and a special mention goes to the missing (but not missed) flipflops during the walk! 😈
