Cesar Milan does that but then again he uses outdated dominance theory & is always getting bitten. Deep bites that need stitches, not play bites , before anyone steps in with how great dominance theory is. Dominance theory is based on one 1930's study, of wolves, not dogs . Modern studies have consistently found praise & rewards based training to be more effective.

"Every dog needs a home, not every home needs a dog" - they are the perfect example... this woman got Dobermans only because of their status and that is clear as day... this is very sad... and news flesh, part of being a dog owner is picking up after them, no one should be doing this for you...

Exactly. "Why do it when someone else can?" That told me right away she didn't need a dog or kids.

[@firenze5555]

It was actually the husband who said he got the dogs for his kids and then he said it was his wife's responsibility - when she clearly does not want to be responsible for the care and exercise of dogs - especially large, rambunctious dogs. The husband is just as responsible as the wife. And then they have 2 dogs when they can't even control one! It's inexcusable not to be picking up after their dogs.

[@yogiyoda]

The owner doesn't have to clean up after their dog, but someone needs too. Apparently, the mom has back problems. People with spare cash can pay for someone else to clean their yard. Their problem is that they didn't even do that

If you choose to get a pet against your partner's wishes, you have NO right to expect them to help in ANY way. NONE. You don't get to force a complete lifestyle change onto your partner that they already established they did not want. You wanted the dog so badly that you got it against your wife's wishes?

And Barbara’s motto ‘why would I do something that someone else can do’ and there you have it folks. The whole entire issue. Barbara does appear to have an interest in the female dog after she put the work in, the work leads to bonding. I’m happy to see the kids are interested and love the dogs. The boys won’t let her just let the dog off leash and run back to the house. The kids lost respect for their mum then and why the boys say the dogs don’t listen to her and neither do they!! Barbara doesn’t seem to have any interest in the dogs. Like she wants to go buy a pure blood puppy who comes home and grows into a perfect pet without the work. It was great to see the kids come out to help clean up poo. Like they understand there are less glorious parts of living an animal, and they will do that too. After Victoria’s visit you can see a huge difference in the way the dad is walking the dogs!!!

Victoria should have suggested that the dogs be rehomed. She should talk to the father about letting her find new homes for those dogs.

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

There was most certainly no way. I mean, when Victoria left them to their own devices for a few days, Barbara quickly fell out with the training of the dogs, and the dogs didn't respond to her. When a dog doesn't want to listen to their owner, that's usually a red flag. Despite the supposed three week follow-up, it doesn't mean they kept with it.

[@darabounds6671]

She is displaying weaponized incompetence. She doesn't WANT to interact with the dogs. She doesn't WANT The responsibility of cleaning up after them, or walking them, or even just to watch them while they go about the house while she's home all day. That was clear as day when she flatly refused to help clean up after their poop. She had a full mask off moment when she said 'why do it when you get someone else to do it'. Every time Victoria tries to teach her even the most basic tasks for teaching the dogs the woman "finds it difficult" to a hilariously terrible degree. At least part of her is hoping that if she does it bad enough Victoria will turn and make someone else do it. To be charitable, Weaponized inconfidence can be a mix of issues. It could be a pride issue and pure manipulation, but it can also have echoes of anxiety and a fear of failure. In this case I think it is both. I think she doesn't want to have to do anything, but also I think she is afraid of actually trying in fear of confirming her own incompetence to herself.

[@bahilleli]

As an owner of a Doberman, the fact that they thought they could just "walk" these majestic working dogs for a bathroom break and back is heartbreaking (ok, it's also really frickin angering). They should count themselves LUCKY that the "only" thing those dogs (they are SO much stronger than they look) destroyed were 'things'. A Doberman needs an outlet for their energy & intelligence, ours is always intense & needs ~1 hr minimum, 1.5-2 hrs is better walking, of which approx 60% of that is RUNNING daily. To be clear: It's usually off-leash running at scary speeds that no human can match, it's one of the most beautiful things to watch.

[@kristaanne2144]

So angering! My working dog is with me all day, she comes with me on my ranch work as I train horses and gets hours of running exercise, and she still wants to play when we get home. And these guys barely even walk their dogs. This woman can’t even take the dogs for one walk! She is so under confident and nervous it’s amazing the dogs aren’t running all over her. She’s lucky they aren’t aggressive, she doesn’t realize they could easily hurt her.

[@JEM471025]

Agreed didn’t ever have a Doberman but I’ve owned Shepard mixes. And they will literally run in giant circles in yard or a dog park for an hour to two hours a day. It’s the only time they ever exhaust themselves. Dogs need so much exercise

I know the soft, runny poops aren’t fun and my dad used to leave them a bit to harden up if they were particularly hot and stinky (my dog had a sensitive stomach in his later years), but it isn’t hard to go round with a garden trowel and a bag once a day, maybe hose the runny stuff away. It’s a basic five minute job! The only time it was a problem was when my dog as a puppy ate his poop - it’s quite a common problem and both the breeder and vet said the only fool proof way of stopping it was cleaning it up right away/catch him in the act. Plus you have to be on it with house training anyway, so it wasn’t so much of an issue cleaning up straight away

[@sumoni]

Their house is nasty. They may not see it, but it is.

[@MoonityLUNAtic]

I am astonished at the absolute disgust and mistreatment these beautiful dogs lived in before Victoria. I own a Doberman myself (well my parents do) and he was trained by my dad since we got him. We’ve had three dobermans and they’ve all been trained by my dad. He has done some biting with my last one (beautiful beefy red-and-tan Euro without crop) but he trains them to stay by him in walking. I would’ve loved to have these two dogs as they seem like they could be a joy to have. I’m 14 and can easily walk Bear (current Doberman). All we use is a leash and collar. The female owner Barbara clearly has no interest in the dogs. Her kids do better then her for Christ’s sake! 😂

[@gerdasnitselaar4913]

I would love to see them in a year. I'll think they shouldn't have those dogs in the first place.

[@carolwilliams8511]

There are plenty of people who love dogs and want to care for them but cannot have their own. They offer their services to others. So these people would be able to pay someone to do the things they do not wish to do.

[@rand0mn33ss]

For sure the parents dumped as much responsibility on the kids as possible, probably adding more as the boys got older. At least, the mom probably did that.

[@janaonthesunnyside]

Its so frustrating watching this. And I am impressed how calm those dogs are. They could have hurt them so easily.

[@marcofarish2588]

Barbara: I won't pick up the poop and also why would I walk them Like for real she shouldn't have gotten dogs what the heck

[@thatsadvegan8132]

People need to do their research before getting a dog, especially when getting specific breeds. Dobermans are high energy. When ANY dog dosen't get the exercise, enrichment, and bonding they need, they will develop negative behavioral habits. One of my biggest peeves is people getting dogs, not fulfilling their needs, not training them, and expecting the perfect family dog. Training is an everyday thing, not just when they're puppies or when you feel like it or when they develop issues.

[@brightmoon7132]

That woman is completely clueless! And completely detatched. She doesn't like or understand the dogs. The worst part is the dogs are smarter than she is! I really fell sorry for this womans kids and dogs. 😕

[@w_kwok]

This woman should not have kids, if she thinks "there's people to do that for you" as a solution to everything. Berkley is so damn cute!

[@kitcobain444]

I am one hundred percent convinced Barbara is a fish person. She needs a nice aquarium and she can pay someone to clean it as needed! 🐟🐠🐟🐠

More for the owners, I'd say

[@Lola-Blue]

These people need a few plants they can stick in a corner. Water periodically and watch them grow..like they do with their dogs...God Bless Victoria...I would have already grabbed those two beautiful dogs and ran far far away.

[@bethanybergeson4192]

I'm guessing a cactus.

[@BooFlo62]

Im just...these aren't bad dogs AT ALL. Like not even that over excitable. You can see their brains just absorbing any new training like a sponge

[@kristaanne2144]

Great dogs, bad owners! With just a tiny bit of effort these dogs would be absolutely a joy to have. So sad honestly

[@kiwidreams3]

All that money….custom made couch ….and they don’t think to employ someone to clean that backyard No shame

[@PercheronAppLVR]

shed rather fill her walk in with louis vuitton and chanel .. she deems those dogs the same way . for show

[@drmsd14]

That backyard is full of poop they never picked up and they had the unmitigated gall to REFUSE to help with the clean up?!?!?!?!? Oh, hell naw! I would have told production to pack it up. Absolutely not. These people have zero shame. Victoria is a better person than I am. The way I would have left those people with a list of local dog poo cleaners and a good luck would have made their heads spin.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Fantastic idea to include the kids play with the dog in a positive way 😊

[@charlottesaabye539]

Never seen an animal owner so disconnected with animals, as this Barbara 😮 dogs do not trust her at all! the house needs a Barbara trainer or find her another home.. with NO animals!!

[@desireebetts2332]

Agreed

[@cleverandtricky]

Why would a woman who clearly doesn’t like dogs get two Dobermans?

[@exotherm42]

Because they look impressive. That's also why they got them docked, but couldn't be bothered to do anything else with them...

[@benm5970]

I’m guessing that the kids wanted them and Jack caved in because he seems like a big pushover

[@sunsundks3891]

Their husband got em because he thought it was importan for their kids to have a dog

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

It is important for kids to have a dog 🐕, unless you plan on doing all their playtime themselves or constantly supporting their social life with other kids.@@sunsundks3891

[@leslieshand4509]

@@sunsundks3891actually it was Barbara who stated that the boys should have a dog growing up.

[@AltaMay11]

It never occurred to them they were letting their dogs walk in poop and then letting them back in the house?! I don't even like sitting on my couch in my outside clothes 😂 😂

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

Right?! Nasty!!😆

[@KittyStar9]

those kids melted my heart, it was so sweet of them to help and actually care about their dogs

[@valsorrell6160]

She’s clueless…I’m sorry but this episode made me so cross. Well done Victoria for your perseverance , I wouldn’t have had your patience!

[@kiranmikuyt9338]

Those mass of little tipps and tricks are worth gold! Like "let the dog makes it decision!"

[@anonymoose116]

It's the same with horses. Sometimes you just have to be patient and let them work it out for themselves.

[@beepbopboop7727]

The wife is too strict in her voice. She needs to soften her voice when rewarding Berkley.

[@leah.bannon]

shes so stirn when talking to the dogs, especially Burkley, so the dog probably didn't listen to her because it always felt like it was getting told off

[@KvaltorKvit]

Smart dogs need smart humans..

[@yerintaem]

Dobermans are super smart dogs and therefore require much smarter owners. Berkeley is highly intelligent because she knows Barbara isn’t worth listening to

[@sandyfloyd8451]

I had one Dobie that was 8 yrs old. They are very high energy and like one of my children. You definately need lots of room to play and burn off some energy. But on a plus side they are very smart and highly trainable.

[@kiwidreams3]

I bet their neighbors are happy that stink yard is clean🤢

[@vvriwvnelnblet]

I thought everybody ran to pick the poop as soon as the dog pooped but Im wrong 🤢

[@patriciakelly2714]

Two very strong intelligent dogs. These dogs are not for people without experience. Need confident handling.

[@KC-oo7yk]

Picking up poop is the easiest thing to do. I hope they are enjoying life now after the help. Beautiful dogs.

[@janesawyer3495]

Dobermans are highly intelligent, and very responsive to training. We had a dobie mix puppy, Asia, that w/o any training, would follow along while I was working with our other dogs, sit, stay, heel. She practically trained herself. If you can screw up a Doberman, maybe you should try another type of pet.

[@DebbieWright-oz3yc]

That woman has had a personality bypass. Even the dogs can't find her interesting.

I love how the doberman totally ignores her owner but not Victoria 😂😂😂😂

[@sues6847]

Those boys are awesome! Pitched right in to help and were happy about it.

[@I_dont_want_a_name479]

I’m so glad she finally came around in the end for the training I really hope they will stick with it though 😅

[@peks4924]

I doubt it! For someone who’s not willing to clean up after their pet, doesn’t have the right to own one!

[@RedQueen12177]

Honestly as soon aa they refused to help clean the garden i would have been like nope you help or you rehome them

[@lauramathews3151]

Relieved that the puppers weren't overweight considering the utter lack of exercise and extent of their daily confinement...

[@abfell2864]

I feel people need to be trained before they get a dog! This is shameful! such lovely and beautiful dogs in such an unhappy situation 😞

[@Squidish0.1]

Dogs in a sense should be seen as another child. Not physically, but in the sense that dogs and children need guidance, need to be cleaned and many other things.

[@lrx54]

The twins are so cute. She’s a lucky woman.

[@notta3d]

The woman's attitude was absolutely terrible, but the man? He should be ashamed of himself to have a woman out there cleaning up poop that he should have been cleaning up himself. My hat's off to Victoria because I probably would have had to leave just because of their attitude and refusal to help. Once again that man is an embarrassment to all other men.

[@01chittock]

It’s quite clear the dogs were bought as an extension of their house alarm! I feel for the dogs, thank god for the kids! And let’s home it all works out! The mother is well??? Sad comes to mind!

[@Jingle_Jangles]

Dude that’s so gross how could you let your home be like that? I can barely stand when my dog pees once! And they just let their yard be like that?

[@carolwilliams8511]

Agree. But when we bought our home in England in 1984 we found a lot of dog poo in the back garden from the previous owner 's collie Shep. We just cleared it up and buried it in one corner. We basically let the soil bugs deal with it. Now I have problems with other people's cats using my garden as a toilet😠

[@timelordthefirst4835]

Cor 38:18 Victoria with the dobermans either side ...to me represents.... Power!!! 🤩

[@mikeyyyxl6617]

when he walks with the 2 dogs...OMG LOL

[@BridMhor]

Victoria's hardest case yet 😂, even the dog knew his owner was useless. The boys will be able to do more as they get older, they seem really interested.

[@somniumisdreaming]

Surely the bairns can pick up the jobbies? So pleased my mum loved dogs and was great with them. She taught me so much. I can't believe the mum here was going to just leave the dog in public! Her kid have far more sense and empathy than her.

[@elaineeverhart7100]

Those are two of the most amazing dogs I have seen....those dogs only hope for a good life is the children...😢

[@yarrow1113]

The tone of Barbra’s voice with the dogs is not at all endearing. I wouldn’t want to engage with her either if she were talking to me like that.

[@JustJamey]

That poop situation is cruelty. These people should be embarrassed. So many people seem to not understand what a dog is!

[@justmelol7147]

The second “the dogs are under house arrest” was said, I knew that was their first problem
