[@anonymoose116]

As soon as that event happened, they should have gotten him to see a therapist. Maybe he needed it, maybe he didn't, but better to have him talk to a professional.

[@krdiaz8026]

That's probably why he hid it, because he knows his dad wouldn't care. Experiencing dismissal after opening up can hurt more than the actual trauma.

[@AllThePeppermint]

@@krdiaz8026 Bingo! And experience has likely already taught him that his dad won't care. If dad doesn't care about the little things, why would he care about the big things? The dad is a selfish baby.

Same. I don't even understand this dynamic. I have 4 kids, a handful of pets including large dogs, I work full time and am in law school in the evenings. Yet, I don't treat my spouse or kids like this, my animals are all well trained and well cared for. There's just no excuse for any of this. These parents need to correct their own behavior before trying to fix their family dynamic or their dogs.

[@gargwinvinesnake6961]

Him being scared of the collar choking her more than being pulled was so heart warming. It's incredible how children can grow up as amazing individuals even with "less than stellar" parents.❤

[@k.m.186]

It’s sad that the dad thinks that Saun just needed to be “strong” or whatever and it wouldn’t impact him. And Sean heard that and thinks he just needs to “get over it.” Emotional intelligence is so important, and a lack of it can be passed down father to son unless the cycle stops

Im sorry but, Mum isnt innocent in this story. She joined in shouting at Sean about walking the dog. She said if he didn't, the dog would end up going to the pound. So much emotional blackmail and so little insight. I truly hope they really learned from this.

[@cybremystica93]

I don’t really agree because Pete doesn’t support Kelly, she has no other support network. Her husband tells her to stop crying and he is cold, calculating and shut off. She’s at her wits end and desperate. She might not be a saint but tbh sending the to the pound would actually be better for them

[@zion367]

How she laughed when Victoria scolded her husband for beating the dog was truely vile and sneaky. Its a sad thing, but she enjoyed him being scolded. That also says something about her own mentality.

And putting it ALL back on a child is wrong! Even though his son is a teenager and capable ultimately it is the parents responsibility. At the end of the day the son is still a child and the responsibility is 100% Peters.

[@theb33prince]

"she cries just to cry" yeah well you scream just to scream so are you any better?

[@Sam-mh4mc]

These dogs are such angels, I ended up realising that they didn't require correction of any kind, they didn't bark, they didn't nip, they didn't jump up on anyone, the leash pulling was easy to correct and one lil trick helped Princess come out of her shell, even in the beginning I saw how she kept wanting pets from her mum. They are such sweet angels, as far as I am concerned they are the ones who are keeping this family together - helping Sean and Kelly through their problems. Sean is really sweet and I am glad that he could talk to Victoria coz his dad is a mess and is emotionally unavailable and idk much about the mum, I am really glad he spoke that much to Victoria - traumatised teens usually just close down ! Father and son dog walk is such a great idea,, the boy clearly wants love from his dad. If the dad doesn't give his love now unfortunately Sean will go in the wrong path if that continues :( and Sean deserves better

I love what you said about fear memory being imprinted in the brain forever because using another famous trainer's methods for our first 6 months never decreased her Cujo response when she saw people even through car windows. So much for living in the moment.. I had been "in dogs" for over 30 years trained my own and others but this girl sent me on a quest to help her. We didn't have the life I wanted for us but n the end she was a superbly trained dog who knew love from us, ran supervised around our 2 acres, learned many ways to help me but most of all we were best pals and I loved her dearly. I always felt guilty and wondered why I couldn't help her enough to forget her past. Thank you Victoria. You help so many. There is hope for all when a light is lit.

"It was really nice seeing him in his calm state". That actually made me cry. It's heartbreaking to hear Shaun say that. But I also kinda just get it... It's those little calm moments that make you remember your dad behind the beatings and the shouting and the name calling and the fights. And you see, for a split second, what your life could be like. But you can never trust it. Cause it can flip at any second. And that's even more heartbreaking. Wanting to trust your parents, but just not being able to. Never told my parents about some of my traumas to this day. Never saw the point. I was better at looking out for myself. Shaun is a really brave kid, and I hope he is leading a good life today, because he deserves it. He's breaking the cycle and I hope that he managed to find love and comfort in his life. He has a lot of emotional intelligence. And you can see that Brooke is really bonded to him as well.

An abuser does not change. I’d leave with the children and dog. It takes an abuser two years to change according to abuser programs. And that is only if they want too. So it is unsuccessful. The guy lives on planet me.

i was so amused seeing the wife trying to hold back her smile when she said i would have you arrested. I love Victoria she is saving familys and lifes I was so happy when she said shed take him if he hurt a dog I would love to be her freind!

[@sapphireblu76]

Ive seen this episode several times and i still feel the same; that 'dad' is a waste of oxygen.

[@Sam-mh4mc]

These dogs are such angels, I ended up realising that they didn't require correction of any kind, they didn't bark, they didn't nip, they didn't jump up on anyone, the leash pulling was easy to correct and one lil trick helped Princess come out of her shell, even in the beginning I saw how she kept wanting pets from her mum. They are such sweet angels, as far as I am concerned they are the ones who are keeping this family together - helping Sean and Kelly through their problems. Sean is really sweet and I am glad that he could talk to Victoria coz his dad is a mess and is emotionally unavailable and idk much about the mum, I am really glad he spoke that much to Victoria - traumatised teens usually just close down !

Bro shawn seems like suchhhhhh a sweet kid I feel so bad for him and the dogs.

[@judyives1832]

Horrible man who puts his own needs first over his family’s needs. Why even get married and have kids if you just want to focus on yourself?

[@Seductive_Psycho]

It makes me so sad when people fight about taking care of the dog... Poor dog doesn't have a choice... A dog is supposed to bring good things into your life... If you can't appreciate them then find somebody who can... This is such a chaotic environment for these poor dogs and these people seem to have no patience with them... And these kids are freaking nasty too... This family doesn't deserve a dog

[@schrottvanda]

There was a time when I wanted to be a dog trainer, but I changed my mind…because of humans. I dont want to manage mentally sick people like this guy.

[@lnhoward5879]

Sean seems like the most sweet kid even after what hes been through. i hope hes okay now and doesn't have to think anything would happen like that again.

[@saragalea9134]

they should rehome peter 😂

[@judyives1832]

I loathe how people say “I don’t want to get RID OF the dogs”. As if they were garbage that can be discarded.

[@Bebedollie]

Hurting animals is a major red flag in any relationship

I didn't know someone that looks like my toe could have high standards 😂

[@imle9279]

awful awful parents, those poor kids omg even after Victoria left, they're still doing their usual "casual" hitting 39:53 just watch in the background

[@laurenschenck5355]

It is everyone’s responsibility to take care of the dog and take stress of the wife and it is so important plus keep the dog on a schedule ❤

[@jupiterzombies]

the dogs are fine..... the only beast in the house is that man.

[@iElepple]

Why do people feel the obligation to have children if they don’t want to take care of them?

[@Bonitaslifestyle]

Exactly!!!! Same goes for their animals! Don't take on the responsibility of a living being if you are not going to care what happens!

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Amen 🙌

[@mariecafe2934]

He has no business around dogs or kids

[@Boo_0v0]

I love that Shaun was better than a lot of the dog owners that pull hard on their collar because he knew doing that would make it hard for the dog to breathe ((Edited for typo

[@jennthya6982]

Honestly, Victoria is an amazing dog trainer. But even more so she is an amazing people trainer. She walked into a toxic house and helped them on the road to breaking the cycle of generational trauma. I truly think those kids are going to have a better life for having Victoria's influence for those few days.

[@JEUndisputed]

I cant believe Shauns parents were so oblivious to Shawn's trauma and that he had no help at all, dont they have CBT in America?

[@Kiku91]

This is an old episode. Not sure that was even Available yet.

[@alanj5438]

It's available but can be expensive especially for low income families like this one

[@oscurasignora]

What's CBT?

[@SirPunkie]

@@oscurasignoraI’m not sure. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the only thing I can think of with that acronym

[@soniahannah8263]

Telling his son, "your weak," is sheer projection. He bullies people more vulnerable because it makes him feel powerful. He probably was bullied as a child and can't show authority in the workplace or to adults outside of his own home, His son is a lovely guy and is ten times the man his dad is... I cannot stand weak men who beat animals.

Thanks! ⚡️Dear Victoria, thank you for everything you do for dogs and their owners. Your dedication and love for dogs is incredible. Your kindness and compassion for people is heartwarming and inspiring. I soo love how you went above and beyond for this family - And that HOME DEPOT stepped up to help out too!! 🤩👏🏼💖🙏🏽🐶

This show makes me feel like a failure of a dog owner, while also making me feel like I'm the best dog momma in the world. ;.; I gotta go hug Wilfie.

Pete is vile. Poor sean, that poor kid.

[@gittenielsen95]

Poor dogs. I'm glad the family gets help.

[@jenc9086]

I just love seeing the transformation that these people go through, the journey is just beautiful. We are blessed to have the forgiveness of dogs, and the humility to admit and try to put right our mistakes takes courage and introspection. We are none of us perfect. I hope this family found lasting peace, they all deserve it ❤️🐕‍🦺🐾
