    I was fully expecting to hate this couple, but they clearly did love their dogs and wanted them to be happy and well-adjusted - and good on them for taking on a rescue dog like Harley in the first place. They really listened to what Victoria had to say and they followed through with all the training and advice, and although Rick was annoying at first, he totally accepted that he was wrong and made an effort to put things right.

      They need a good balanced trainer (not a positive only trainer) that would put an end to this in minutes. Enough of the dog's BS. It amazes me that they drag this out into an episode. This is SO simple for a balanced dog trainer to resolve and VERY VERY quickly.

      Let’s be clear here, OK? The wife was straight up NO to another dog. Nonetheless, the Dude doesn’t respect her NO and under the ridiculous story of “wanting my family to be happy” (para) he dismissed her input completely for what HE wanted. *This was such an overt behavioral disrespect towards her and his feeble attempt at pretending he WANTED what was “best for his family” is a transparent farce.*
      Mute the sound: Watch the behavior. Notice who is doing most of the work: The wife. I’d keep the dog who can be trained and send Dude to the animal shelter.

    The dog on the bed "Oh just one night" is EXACTLY how my mom got stuck sharing a bed with my dad AND our great dane in this house. "Well when he gets bigger we'll stop letting him up." Doesn't work that way very well when the dog weighs as much as you do. Great Danes are amazing breeds, but you have to teach them manners and really make sure they know what is and isn't okay because they're so big that all their actions can be scary to others, and dangerous. Our Great Dane has spent most of his life almost never dealing with visitors because so much of his early life was during COVID that now we have to keep him in other rooms when we have multiple people over or he'll never stop barking. It can be so difficult to train a dog like a Dane when they get bigger but it's so important

    • @ethrinityskullz
      @ethrinityskullz Год назад +34

      Not to mention, no matter how comfortable I am with dogs (and I've lived around them my entire life), if a dog snaps at you the way Harley snapped at people because of the bed, I would be backing away and finding someone to help with that immediately. Because that's such a dangerous position to be in, and the dog is warning you that this is HIS bed, regardless of whether YOU think that's the case or not.

    Dog's are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. Harley calmed down the second he realised that he wasn't the one in control and the second Rick stopped encouraging his bad behaviour. They are like children if you teach them that they can get away with bad behaviour then they will behave badly. Inside every misbehaving dog is a good dog waiting to shine through.

      Dogs need to feel safe, if their humans don't act like they are in control, they don't feel safe. The dogs don't feel safe, so they need to try to be in control. This leads to problems, you can love your animal without being weak. Discipline is not cruel it is part of being a good pet parent. I've had both dogs and cats, and people are always amazed that my cats listen to me, but an animal responds to you when they know it is in their best interest.

    @captsparrowslady 6 месяцев назад +8

    The husband has that "I gotta fix it" mentality... He saw a "problem" of Abbie feeling sad/depressed because she was missing her buddy and his wife was grieving the loss of their dog too and the husband's "I gotta fix it" mentality kicked in and was like "everyone was happy when we had two dogs, now we have one dog and everyone is sad... I have to fix them... We should get another dog so everyone can go back to being happy with two dogs." It was like... in his mind two dogs=happy family, one dog=sad family... so the "solution" was to get a new dog so that two dogs could equal happy family again.
    His heart was in the right place, but his logic was built on a false assumption/correlation.

He deserves a comfy bed of his own, as does Abby. One thing that concerned me, though, is how Victoria encouraged them to walk the dogs right in the middle of the street! That's so dangerous.

    If the dog won't leave food alone then don't let it in the kitchen especially when preparing food. When you have guest put the dog in the yard or in a room while snacks are out. My mom used to have to put her dogs outside when she had people over because they would bother guest for snacks. Over time they learned if they bother they aren't allowed to be with everyone having fun. If they behave they can have their treats and hang out.

      It's nice to see someone else not crapping on him. Harley shouldn't be growling and stealing food, but he also shouldn't be vilified just because he wants something he didn't get earlier in life. He spent the majority of his life chained up outside on a cement patio, of course he's gonna wanna hog a nice soft bed. The only problem was they let him sleep on their bed while at the same time trying to move him, thereby giving mixed messages instead of letting him have his own bed all to himself.

    Omg Harley is adorable and I can see how spoiling him escalated after his arrival. I had a 55kgs malamute that I loved like a son and spoiled him but he did as he was told and had a wonderful personality IN THE HOUSE! However because of my soft approach he wasn’t good outside on walks if he saw another dog. Fear would go through me ( I’m 50kgs) that I might not be able to hold him - it was something we both endured for his eleven years. He liked all people but dogs....
    However I’d have him back in a heartbeat - my soulmate. 💔

      This is exactly how my male roommate is with MY DOG.. he's completely usurped control and with the dog and now sleeps in his bed, and is aggressive towards me now when I try and pet or discipline him, and my roommate has no regard for the training I'm desperately trying to train him with, but blames everything on me.. I feel like I've lost my dog, and I cry myself to sleep many nights.. I want to give up and just leave him with my roommate since he's taken to him anyways.. Ironically my puppy's name is Harley too 😍.. I love him and went thru so much to get him, but I feel it was all for nothing bc he hates me now, and I'm not getting the support I need to turn him around.. I don't know what to do and need help..

      ​​@@DivaDivine88 do you need to have a roommate ? Are you financially reliant on having a roommate or can you afford to live alone ? (I am not asking you to tell me about your finances, I am posing questions for you to consider ) If you are not, then I would suggest giving your roommate notice to leave or if you have moved in with them , then are you able to find your own place . If so that's the only way this will end . However if you are financially reliant on needing a roommate then have you actually sat down and laid it out to your roommate. That Harley is your dog and you would appreciate that he doesn't undermine you regards the dog , you can even suggest that he helps with the training but on your terms. If Harley is your dog you need to take charge of the situation, you need to tell your roommate exactly how you feel regards this matter. As I said by all means your roommate can help with the training BUT on YOUR terms not theirs, it's the only way to resolve it. I hope you manage to get the issue resolved so you can enjoy your dog.

    Harley is adorable! None of his behaviors are his fault; he's never been trained. Rick needs to be made to understand that if Harley is not trained someone could be seriously injured and the authorities will sentence Harley to be put down.😢 Harley is just a BIG 3 year old who needs to be taught right and wrong.

  • @rebeccalasiter5429

    At the beginning of the video, my heart was touched by the loss of their dog first and foremost. Seeing their dog, who was depressed, missing the one it knew and cared for, was sad as well. I just wanted to do something, to cheer him up. The husband, not taking into account his families feelings into consideration was hard. He thought he was doing the right thing, however, through discovery of his own, he corrected himself and was able to connect with the feelings of his wife and daughter. Together with the advise and willingness of Victoria, they were able to work together and create a better productive environment with their new family member, who was able to make amazing changes. 💙🐾
