Had two large breeds 15 years. Never crated

[@KK-111]

@@MassageDiaries YES. Me, as well. I adopted a Siberian Husky at 1.5 yrs who had every behavioral issue imaginable (SA, aggression, etc, etc).. And, I NEVER resorted to using a locked cage/'crate". With positive/humane training- simple techniques, she shed these behaviors very quickly, and became the most loving and gentle dog I've ever had. 20 yrs ago, crates didn't even exist for dogs. Now, its all we hear about. :/ Its the increasing cruelty and inhumanity of our world that has created these horrible devices, and soul-less approaches. The only training method that works in ending negative behavior, and building positive behavior,and a lasting bond with dog/guardian is positive/humane training....

Right? I have no idea how she thought it would be a good idea to keep an anxious dog in such a turbulent house! As soon as I saw him my heart melted; there are probably plenty of experienced owners that would be happy to take him in.

You're over complicating this. As a balanced dog trainer, I could resolve Sylvester's problems in minutes, if not seconds. Victoria's methods are laughable. As a balanced dog trainer, I guarantee you!!!! Dogs off the bed would be resolved in a matter of SECONDS!!! The clown show of this video of dragging dogs off of the bed his just laughable!!!!

I can't stop my mom from feeding from the table. Won't even compromise to give her treats in the dog bowl

[@bekleedee]

I know! My in laws have a dog that just stands by the table any time we're over there for dinner. He will hang around my 2yr old daughter because she will try to pass him food. When my in laws try to call him over to them, he always comes back unless he's kept in the other room. Which they don't like doing because it upsets him. But they just let him lean up on the table and kitchen bench to steal food. Most the time they don't even try to stop him.

In my country you are only allowed to have 4 adult dogs unless you have special permission And watching this I completely understand this rule

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Yes! We can have a total of 5 animals. Any mix of dogs and cats is fine, as long as there are no more than 5 total. When you have too many, it's difficult for them all to get their emotional needs met. I am a pet sitter and dog walker. One of my clients has seriously evaded the rules and has 7 cats and 3 dogs, all indoors. I was quite concerned the first time I met them. I was told how many animals they have up front. They've been my clients for more than two years whenever they go out of town. Luckily, there are 4 children over the age of 10. The house never smells. The dogs are actually trained in the basic commands, and they seem emotionally secure. But if they didn't have the kids all tending the animals, along with the adults, I can't imagine the chaos there would be! Their level of good care of the animals is, actually, impressive! It's a relaxed, happy home. I'm happy with our two little dogs. That's enough for my husband and I.

[@telia4268]

@@sofiaofulue When is it the dogs fault?

[@sodapopjones260]

​@@telia4268 pretty much every problem you see here has to do with dogs and the way they behave. When Gloria steps in and trains these dogs, a large part of it involves using food to trick them into good behavior. I have friends who use the same approach with their dogs, they will get their dog to behave one moment, only for them to revert to their original behavior when they're not around or when someone new shows up, or any other reason. Either these dogs don't really understand us or what we want from them (disproving half the platitudes I hear about dogs), or they don't care what we want from them and will take the first opportunity to do what they want instead (disproving lots of the other platitudes out there).

[@santiagoporret5247]

⁠@@sodapopjones260I like a lot the way you explained it “tricking the dog into good behavior” that’s exactly the problem with modern dog training techniques. When rewards comes in to solve behavior issues, it stops being communication, it’s just tricking the dog through its instincts. That’s why most of them revert, it’s an unconscious process, plus it is unnatural and requires a human in it to be successful.

[@santiagoporret5247]

Though Victoria chooses to address the dog actually. One example: there was no need of food, the dog smelled the leash and had no problem with it, the owner holding the leash was the actual scary thing😂 she made it seem like the leash was the problem, instead of actually teaching the owners not to chase after the dog if they want to catch it, basics of animal handling.

As someone who relates DEEPLY with Melissa, I feel HORRIBLE for Jeff! A pack of dogs has been part of my long-time dream for as long as I can remember, but I know how much effort has gone in to training my ONE rescue dog so that is a good while off yet!! While it takes a lot of self restraint because I quite literally want all the dogs, I could never put my partner through that - he has the patience of a saint, but I don’t know how Jeff hasn’t cracked up yet 😔

[@MissyHuntington]

The more I watch this kind of video, the more I realize that 95% of dog owners don’t know what they’re doing. All my life I thought either the dog or I was the problem for being annoyed when I come to someone’s house and their dogs were jumping at me, now thanks to this channel I know it is them who are the problem. They’re supposed to be the one apologizing to me and educate their dogs. Not me apologizing for being distracted.

[@debbietaylor5183]

I think it more American than British most dogs I've met in uk households don't jump at cookers etc I can't help but notice dogs their are poorly socialised & trained in general

[@gabriellethompson4353]

That's also why I don't want dogs of my own. They require SO much training and discipline and work. If you cannot find the time or energy to dedicate that much time to a dog you shouldn't get one. That's why I have cats.

[@whitmerule2753]

Please tell this to all the people bringing their dogs to pet stores and letting them snap at, pee on, or hump the employees. Also people who let their dogs pee on the shelves and the stock and/or poop on the aisles. Bonus points if they don't even bother telling us 'hey my dog made a mess' so we can clean it up. 'Hahaha he's so energetic' 'sir please pull a little more firmly on that leash so that your dog is no longer attached to my leg' 'oh baby girl you are being so naughty, I wish you would just [long paragraph which no dog could understand]' 'please just give your collie a clear firm immediate correction when she lunges for me'.

"Jeff, if you do more work, I promise I won't get another dog" Does that mean that if Jeff does not get more involved, Melissa WILL get another dog? How does that work? It doesn't make sense!

[@vanclemmons]

Jeff reasoned his not helping by saying that he was afraid that if he’d helped out more, Melissa would have just gotten another dog thinking they could handle more, meaning that the only reason she wasn’t getting another one was the chaos. So basically the deal was that even if the chaos would stop, she would still not get another dog.

I'm not going to get one and expect him to chip in on doing something i know full well he didn't want in the first place. It needs to be a joint decision between the adults in the relationship because taking on any animal is a big responsibility. It's time, work, money.

melissa may be doing it mostly alone (which is kinda fair since jeff seemed a bit nonconsenting to all those dogs and she got them anyways) but its so sweet to see how much she loves and cares about all her dogs. she does those funny chaotic tasks with a smile on her face and treats her dogs with all her love despite all the chaos they cause, how much they tire her out and the furniture thats destroyed. its good to help ppl that truly are trying but simply clueless or a bit lost/helpless

[@carolb3122]

Victoria was spot on. With the dogs we’ve had, and even my son’s dog we took care of for 6 weeks, we taught them “wait” while waving my hand across the threshold from the living room into the kitchen. They had to stay out of the kitchen during meals. It really helped during eating holiday meals in the kitchen.

[@bakaichigo]

That walk training at the end is 100% how I taught my late bb how to walk on a leash. He still pulled a little every now and again when he got real excited, but mostly he spent 11 years walking nicely with me. He walked so well with me I could close my eyes and he'd keep us both going straight (because he'd be walking at my hip so evenly). I have a new pup now, we just took our first walk (he's a 2 year old chihuahua lol) and once he's confident with going out for walks, I'm sure I'll need to do that walk-turnaround-walk-repeat method with him too - he's got lots of energy. :D

[@AngelScribs]

i'm actually surprised that they managed to take in so many dogs without territorial problems, i have 2 dogs with completely different personalities at home and we had problems at the beginning o_o

[@oliverstray1040]

I feel like once a "pack" is established adding more dogs gets easier. I could be wrong, but I feel they got lucky with non territorial dogs the first 3-4 times, then extras fell into place

[@bananascoaster1243]

I've heard 1 dog is better than 2 and 3 dogs are better than 2. Not sure how true it is.

[@pheoticprivate]

This is part of why I got a puppy from a breeder as my first dog. People kept telling me to get a rescue/rehomed dog, but as an inexperienced dogs person, I wanted a clean start instead of having to struggle with other people's mistakes when I'm not even sure I could manage that. Obviously, as we've seen. getting a puppy can also go wrong, but then it's *your* fault. I do know training though as I have an education in conditioning for horses (same principles for all mammals, just slightly different methodology), but dogs are a first. I'd love to help out dogs in the future when I have more experience, but I feel like I owe it to them to not mess them up further.

[@myfivebrats1972]

I agree,untraining bad behavior is a lot harder then training them to be good from the start

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

I was the same way except instead of a puppy as my first dog, I adopted a rehomed adult dog because I knew they would already be crate trained and have gone through puberty phases so you have a basic dog to care for. As a second dog, definitely a breeder puppy is the best choice.

[@mewchuking8639]

I was going to get a shelter dog but they messed up and promised the same dog to multiple people, was really unprofessional. Got my corgi from a breeder and love her, in hindsight maybe I could've kept looking for more shelters but was already ghosted/rejected from rescue groups and didn't like the couple of shelters that I checked

I agreed with everything Victoria did so far in the videos I watched, but I strongly disagree with her telling off Jeff. For someone to continue to bring dogs in when your partner doesn’t want them is NOT okay! They should have talked first and come to a compromise both can live with. Victoria’s approach of telling him off is certainly a unfair way to bring him aboard now. I am sure there are other ways.

[@malindarayallen]

I would have agreed if he had no interaction with the dogs at all, butt if he's going to play with them and love on them, then he had to participate in taking care of them. She gave Melissa a hard time too. I think they both owe the dogs an apology.

With respect the dogs are both of theirs, fair or not. They are a couple. You can’t have 2 sets of rules either.

This is the kind of video that can really help people learn the right way to work with there pets. Thank you for making this Video. I hope you keep making more like this one. It is a great video.

I love silvester so much… what a beautiful intelligent dog xx so easy to train as well… 😊

[@jww128]

I dont think keeping the dogs off the bed is a bargain. I think its normal for jeff not to like it.

[@lrx54]

This is an awesome show. I’ve subscribed and expect many more smiles in the days to come!! 🌻🙌

the resent in that marriage is going to ruin it. She brought in all these dogs when her husband CLEARLY did not want them, and now she's annoyed he won't go through the trouble of feeding EIGHT ADULT DOGS that aren't his. Wife has prioritized the dogs in EVERY SPACE of that home and marriage. Not surprised the guy isn't happy. He doesn't have ownership of any part of that house - not even his own kitchen or his own bed. He's been backed into a corner and pressured to accept responsibility for these poor dogs. I wouldn't be surprised if he seperated from her.

[@suelynrogers]

I would have left after the 3rd one! I grew up w 1, when my dad passed, and my Mom remarried, of course they had one, and we had 2 then. My grandma passed and we acquired her dog after my stepbrothers dog had passed. So my parents adjusted to having 2, and always kept them in the backyard. They tried adopting another everytime one passed to keep the other one company.

[@thewitchycat4984]

I can't imagine this feeding time. I have multiple dogs, and they all know to be in their place/beds and wait while I prep their food. Then I call them and they sit and wait and each one by name is released to eat their food by name, based on who's bowl is farthest away first

[@sandrabeck8788]

Great episode! We have 3 dachshunds and iit can be awful! Thanks for the instruction!

[@marciamcgrail5889]

A residential household should be legally limited to 4 or individual regulatory permission required for any more. No one can give the attention, physical activity & stimulation each dog needs to more than that: nor should they be allowed to inflict that noise on their neighbours.

[@m6666]

Totally agree with you. As you can see here, they don't have the experience to own 8 dogs, let alone train, walk, and give them all individual attention. Plus, they're all overweight

[@briannahernandez6627]

A person can own as many pets as they want as long as they can take care of them 🙄

[@brandiehammond]

@@briannahernandez6627 not necessarily. There are some cities that do have a limit on how many dogs u can have in your house and must be registered. Some are 2-3 or 4.

[@kristaanne2144]

I think that’s what they’re saying though, that it’s not adequate care if someone gets more dogs than they and their property can handle

[@dawndrew8313]

In your opinion...

[@5foot3rodeo5]

“I won’t get anymore dogs if you help me with our EIGHT current ones” Jeff needs to LEAVE

[@conniebell7987]

Jeff scared me with his cutting of the green peppers. Yikes!

[@jadethompson6027]

He didn't scare me but he didn't cut his vegetables like he was a trained chef at all. Also one thing they didn't check was germs in the kitchen.

[@lunaredelvour2972]

Everyone freaking out about Jeff not feeding and picking up after the dogs....... But he didn't sign up for 8 dogs that the chick took home without asking him. If I wasn't an animal lover, I wouldn't look after 8 dogs brought back unexpectedly by my husband either

[@Kat-mu8wq]

Doesn't matter. He chose to stay so had to help out with them. I didn't want our dog we have had the last 10 years but I still take her out to toilet during the day.

[@lunaredelvour2972]

@@Kat-mu8wq there's a massive difference between you having one dog you help out with and him having eight that have overrun his life and are interfering with his relationship

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

Melissa isn't "some chick", she is his wife and he obviously loves his wife.

[@meplife7313]

Wow, they can have 8 dogs in a residential home? Here you can only have 2 dogs, and if you want more you have to put an application in to your council for a permit which they then either approve or decline. You usually have to pay a fee with the application too. I'm surprised they're allowed so many dogs in a home., If it was a farm, then yeh that would be ok.

[@placeofrandomness5188]

8 dogs on its own is insane, but rescue dogs as well. You gotta know how to handle those dogs.

[@DW3217]

Melissa made a huge sacrifice by not having the dogs in the bed??? What about Jeff's sacrifice in not leaving her while she adopted all these dogs he never wanted?

[@X1O4XO3]

No offense not trying to start anything but from what I’ve seen, he didn’t rly have to sacrifice anything, if he rly wanted to, he would’ve left, if it was rly bothering him that much, but he didn’t so-

[@sodapopjones260]

@@X1O4XO3 he didn't want to live with dogs in the first place, didn't want to care for them, now he's doing both. His wife might be busy, but she signed up for it by getting those dogs.

[@kiki__21]

They need to rehome at least 5 of these dogs. One of the rehomed dogs needs to be Sylvester. The poor dog is so anxious and needs to be in a calmer environment with an experienced owner.

[@alanirey2384]

Cevelster probably has been though a lot of trauma earlier in his life you can clearly see that when she explained that the dog was scared of EVERYTHING,and he’s a rescue dog so that is most likely the case/and also when Jeff explained he would yell at the dogs to get them to listen

[@mariahgrimes207]

Food and exercise are what most dogs need! Seems like general ideas to help others to see mistakes 😢

[@jennynovoa8586]

Stunning dogs! Loved this episode 🥰

[@lizzyway2408]

The way Sylvester looks at her alone, you can tell Victoria has that sense of calm and confidence dogs look to for leadership 😊🥹

[@jadethompson6027]

I was really impressed with all their chaos and so many dogs they didnt have an issue with potty. No poop pee in the house at all.

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

Melissa and Jeff are really lucky they have good pack dynamics. The dogs really respect them.

[@fianafarrington6899]

I'm not even 10 minutes in, and Melissa is already giving me animal hoarder vibes.

[@dehydratedkingkong8932]

What does that mean

[@Tarlondwen]

I would consider a hoarder someone who neglects animals because they can't afford proper care for all of the animals they can't stop collecting. All of her dogs seem pretty healthy and look good.

[@imalwaysright]

An animal lover and a hopeless rescuer (like a hopeless romantic): yes But a hoarder? No. She doesn’t have the deep psychological and emotional problems a hoarder has

[@Pinup_Panda]

The husband so worried about his bed being cleaner, but then he gets in bed with his shoes on😱😣

[@AshlynKhomets]

Yikes I have 5 (have had 8 counting long term foster all at once), but I have structure!! And most people that come over we don't think I have 5 dogs because they are quite and well behaved everyone always so impressed with them but this is ridiculous absolutely chaotic!!

[@ThornRose2011]

im only like 4 minutes into this but I was thinking, if Syvester is a rescue... and he doesn't like the leash... it makes you wonder if its because his old owner got him on a leash and took him to a place and abandon him.

[@lifeisbetterwiththedogs605]

I have 4 rescued dogs from when they were a puppies. I teach them not to chew on my house and furniture and be patient and wait for the feeding time. They’re children you need to teach them right from wrong. When I leave them alone at home they never destroy my house

[@shynn5827]

I'm in love with Sylvester!!! 😍

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! Those are to many dogs 😮

[@Chickiah]

its funny when they always say, there is no way she will pull it out. but shes the best! she can do it all

[@candicehalt8929]

Jeff shouldn't have to be equally responsible for all those dogs. Esp since he didn't agree to it from the beginning. That's like bringing home multiple cars without telling your spouse and expecting them help you do a car wash every weekend. You made the decision without me, then you can take full responsibility without me. JS 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@somebodyyoudontknow3980]

I'm impressed when people can look after multiple dogs, but I'll never understand why pwople want so many. I'm perfectly happy with one dog, I could consider one more when he's older but absolutely no more. It's pretty much impossible to appreciate your dog's personality fully when you have so many

[@arabdurahman]

In know right! You should only have this many dogs if you can care for them I’ve seen someone who had 15 huskies and they were fine only because they can handle them

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

15 husky dogs is literally a snow-sled amount and some backups lmao

[@elatafalando]

The problem of "loving too much". Dogs must have limits and boundaries. It is the best way to both tutor and pet.

[@gemini6620]

Can't help but notice that Melissa seems to have an extra soft spot for cocker spaniels. At least three of those dogs are cockers.

[@rachelh5467]

Rebuilding that trust in a dog after you betrayed that trust is the hardest thing to achieve!

He was saying how it felt cleaner not having the dogs on the bed, yet he was wearing street shoes on the bed. Yuck!

It was just for the demo, I don't think he wears them when actually sleeping

[@gaellementor5660]

I don’t understand how Jeff doesn’t like the dogs on the bed because of cleanliness which I agree with but they have the shoes they walk outside with on the bed.

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

Exactly. I don't even wear clothes that I've been wearing outside on the bus and train on the bed, let alone *shoes!* Nasty! 😖

[@madhatter7287]

For a partnership with a dog is the same with a child even if you both didn't want one or planning on having more it's both of them that has the responsibility to take care of the living being under their roof
