Victoria always has the best facial expressions.
Yep agreed
24:39 reminds me of the Grinch, 😂
She does I love them
@@gablison True. She's so cute though 😊
Ahahahahah yes
God I wish Victoria was my aunt or something 😂She's awesome. So calm and fair, and her love of dogs is inspiring.
wish she would come to the Netherlands, i could rly get het help
i need her to talk to my dad about the way he keeps allowing the dogs to misbehave
Sylvester needs a MUCH more experienced owner. And and probably to be in a two dog household so he can have the attention that level of anxiety needs.
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.
@@oracleofdelphiiiSame i thought he was adorable, the poor thing, also since hes from a rescue could his previous owner abused him with leashes or is it just anxiety? (i haven’t finished the video)
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!!!! At the end of the video... THREE WEEKS LATER... and it shows a clip of the dog dragging the owner down the sidewalk!!! HAHAHAHA!!! And this is worthy of prime time TV from an "expert" dog trainer?!?!?! HAHAHA!!!
@@samwdavisand yet, you still don’t have your own tv series….
@@samwdavis What is your solution? I'd honestly love to hear it?
Animals begging for my food is literally a pet peeve of mine. I could never imagine so many dogs running around my legs and jumping up the table while I'm trying to cook/eat
It's bad manners. My aunt feeds her dog from the table and he is in the habit of putting his nose on the table because he knows he will get food. I could never.
I can't stop my mom from feeding from the table. Won't even compromise to give her treats in the dog bowl
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.
Despite everything wrong it's actually quite impressive they don't fight over each other's bowls, I thought for sure they would need to be crate fed.
Agree. They are lovely natured animals.
Agreed. They all did pretty well at meal time.
Right, I was pretty surprised seeing that, if I was Victoria I would point it out lol, it was nice seeing that
Had two large breeds 15 years. Never crated
@@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....
The problem is never the dogs, its always the people.
Nah not always
@@sofiaofulue When is it the dogs fault?
@@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).
@@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.
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.
Yes, eight dogs is too much for that size of property. Forcing your partner to take care of endless dogs you bring home is redicoulas!
For sure I feel bad for Jeff his wife forced all these dogs on him and had not taken any responsibility
Ridiculous! Not Rediculous! Nice try !
@@meld2584 Why? Just why?
Ridiculous **
I don’t think she’s forcing him cuz if she was, they either wouldn’t be together or he would’ve done it, it looks like she has NO way to force him, but ok whatever u say ig
I can’t blame Jeff, if my partner ignores my boundaries and brought so many dogs home I would be extremely upset. He’s trying his best for 4 extra responsibilities he didn’t seem to want
not wanting dogs on the the bed but keeping their shoes on in bed is wild...
Shoes in or on the bed is an absolute NO for me! Nasty!
Exactly what I said lmao
"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!
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.
@@vanclemmonsyeah and than after he got all that he wanted he didn't done his part at all...
Hes such a catch 🙄
@@morganablackwater2017 he didn't want any dogs, dudes a saint for putting up with all of it
I thought the same thing! It makes no sense. Victoria even repeated it like it did
@@sodapopjones260right? It's wild. My kids want a dog, I'm half half, but my partner said he absolutely does not want a dog. So we aren't getting a 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.
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
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.
I'd jump off a bridge if i had that rule
This is America. Freedom is valued much more than in your country, but that often comes with consequences.
@@2011blueman tf are you going about freedom
I'd like to say I worked as a veterinarian assistant and we had clients with over 30 dogs or over 40 cats... That was insane to me
"What's one more" always leads to disaster.
Im a dog rescue person... You need to know your limits.
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
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
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
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 😔
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.
Don't blame Jeff, his wife got the dogs with out talking about it with him first, Jeff must really love his wife very much because he is still there even though she kept getting dogs.
And on top of the he cooks!!!
Ugh, How Dare a passive aggressive man be asked to do the bare minimum. It’s sooooo unfair to him. 😑
@@CK_Loves_Tea the bare minimum is letting his wife do all the caring for the dogs she chose to have, in fact thats the decent thing to do. Only manipulative people try to make others feel obligated the way they're doing.
@@CK_Loves_Tea No. That is not the bare minimum. These are not children. They're dogs that SHE chose.
Yeah my husband is still getting over the fact I persuaded him that we should get a third rescue. Divorce would be on the cards if I just randomly kept bringing home more.. and he loves dogs! ❤
Edit : he just brought home a fourth. Poor abandoned puppy in a right state. Oops four rescues, luckily we have two big fields..
I don't even own a dog and I can't stop watching her videos. I do love dogs though😊
I have a dog now but when I first started to watch her videos I didn't have a dog either😊
I've seen enough of her videos to not want a dog.
same I do have 3 cats tho that are all ironically trained
It’s like watching Jo Frost except with dogs haha 😆
That was the concept of the show ;)
Heh heh super nanny heh more like DOG nanny heh he cough splutter choke
This show is so underrated! Always educational and entertaining
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.
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
Its not perfect but how wonderful to see Sylvester go from veing terrified of a walk to bolting out the door 😅🥰😅
this is a cute episode, I'm just honestly surprised how this relationship works out I mean how much can a man take if he isn't a dog person?
That's what I was thinking. I'm a massive dog lover, but if I wasn't a dog person there is no way I'd tolerate this. The only thing I think of when I see this guy is cuck.
People compromise a lot for love.
@@laurajoshi6474too much.
I have watched this a few times now. I love all these cute dogs.
Rescuing dogs is absolutely great let get that straight. However, having eight dogs is insane. Malissa is selfish, her boyfriend never sign up for that. She never consider his feelings. Kudos to him for still staying
Nice try! Ma is much smarter Han your jealousy!
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
Eight dogs? That's craziness! What in the world was she thinking?
That's the trouble she wasent thinking!!
“Now why is Melissa doing all the chores??”
Maybe because she’s the one who wanted 8 dogs and Jeff never signed up for this lifestyle?
He signed up to it by deciding to stay there
I feel bad for Jeff. He didn't want all those dogs and now he's being shamed into taking responsibility for them. I can see asking him to feed the dogs when she isn't home now that the feeding routine isn't chaotic, but as far as I'm concerned, she can pick up the poo.
Agreed!
Agreed aswell she has barely any responsibilities it the care of the dogs I feel bad for the dogs and Jeff!
Mate he loves the dogs, you can just tell. It may have been Melissa’s idea but Jeff needs to help out
@@familyshaw1182 true
@@familyshaw1182 I got a different impression from the clip. I didn't get that he 'loves' the dogs, but instead that he is tolerating them for her sake.
This show should be called ‘It’s me NOT the dog’ 😂
THIS 😂😂😂😂
I need to do this with my 2 dogs. Try to keep them calm when they near the door and I been keeping them out of the kitchen too when preparing food. They will learn eventually, but the discipline to keep doing things a certain way is hard, but rewarding.
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.
I agree,untraining bad behavior is a lot harder then training them to be good from the start
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.
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
How did they even get to 8 dogs without a major fight? At 3 dogs, we had to make the decision that enough was enough and all my dogs are well trained. 8 is to many dogs in a home that can't even train 1.
They’re probably foster fails. Victoria said at the beginning ‘you’re going to have to do your rescue work in other ways’
Why do people revel in the disjunction they create around dogs. I think it’s a way of holding others away, also”look at me and how much I love these dogs”! Thank goodness Victoria is as patient and diplomatic as she is!
My sister has a dog that looks like Sylvester. She (the dog) would chew on things too, in the beginning, but my sister quickly trained her not to do that, so it wouldn't become a problem later.
The only way to have multiple dogs without chaos is to not add a new one until the other/others are properly trained.
This is an awesome episode. Multi-dog households are an awesome topic for this show and so glad the show took this on. Thank you ❤
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.
The husband so worried about his bed being cleaner, but then he gets in bed with his shoes on😱😣
Victoria 's handwriting is very beautiful! Love it so much.
It's amazing how much their mind is blown by simple... "Train dog. Reinforce behavior you want. Ignore behavior you don't want," like it's the Jedi Mind Trick or something!
Jeff scared me with his cutting of the green peppers. Yikes!
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.
I agree with you 100% Victoria and so important both owners take charge of the responsibilities for all 8 dogs ❤
There's only one owner, the other person didn't get the dogs
The funny thing about her having so many dogs is that they have adapted into a pack and also respect Melissa and Jeff so the foundation for a good household is here. It's actually incredible.
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
I like this couple. It’s a good episode. They’re pretty normal and relatable. They also seem like chilled people and I suspect that’s why the dogs responded well. I like it ❤❤
at 24:37 ... the best expression it is hilarious, Love her approach
The dogs are such good people. You can see how they're so ready to live in a respectful environment with boundaries
... Is it me, or did she struggle to name her 8th dog?
lol yeah
Yea
Hahahahaaaa
What’s it’s name?
@@Macy.Moo16 Jimmy.
Melissa did so well keeping up with the training!!!
Take the dog training seriously so important and for now and the future for you and the dogs 😊
Gordon Ramsay and Victoria Stilwell would be BFFs for sure
Sorry but Jeff isn’t remotely in the wrong here. Stuffing eights dogs Jeff never wanted into this house, and then pouring more stress onto him by making him work “very hard” with every single dog is ridiculous. Eight dogs in a house is so unhygienic and frankly neglectful of the dogs.
He is wrong
@@aleksandrac9335how so? The original commenter stated how he isn’t.
This course had the most growth wow they actually got there life back for real. The dogs are all happy too. They have their bed back iys all a win win situation. Eell done Victoria you are such a good person and one hell of a dog trainer. 🐕 🥰
Love appreciate Victoria’s patience ❤
Victoria I love this video. Thank you for making a real video again. By letting us get to really see all that is going on in the lives with all the training from start to the end. With both the dogs & the people. & getting to see the people really working with the dog/ dogs in this video like this. 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.
This is an awesome show. I’ve subscribed and expect many more smiles in the days to come!! 🌻🙌
I dont think keeping the dogs off the bed is a bargain. I think its normal for jeff not to like it.
Her writing is beautiful!
I love silvester so much… what a beautiful intelligent dog xx so easy to train as well… 😊
They are all so cute and adorable dogs ❤
Stunning dogs! Loved this episode 🥰
Great episode! I don't know if anybody is like me but shoes on the bed just irk me... I just can't.
This show ROCKS👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If she doesn’t appreciate Jeff then be sure to send him my way! I have no pets, peace and quiet, and I’ll even clean before and after you cook 🍛
lmao 💀
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.
8 dogs on its own is insane, but rescue dogs as well. You gotta know how to handle those dogs.
This was a good one hope to see more new longer vedio.
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
SO EXCITED!! 🩵🏝️💛
Great video!
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
OMG! Those are to many dogs 😮
8 dogs is A LOT especially when they are big dogs many years ago we had 7 Shih-Tzu’s so they were small, but grooming was an entire weekend job for my husband and I, Friday was clip brush and nail clipping day and brush out any tangles, Saturday my husband would bathe them all and I finished them all up and blow dried their hair it was a weekly chore and it definitely took both of us to keep them properly clean and groomed 😮❤❤
Great show.
Great episode! We have 3 dachshunds and iit can be awful! Thanks for the instruction!
I love the meal they had at the end....
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.
Melissa and Jeff are really lucky they have good pack dynamics. The dogs really respect them.
The problem of "loving too much". Dogs must have limits and boundaries. It is the best way to both tutor and pet.
This is sooo much like Supernanny Jo Frost- the observing, the house rules, the discipline…😅
Merci Melissa...vous êtes une Grande Bienfaitrice des Animaux❤💙💚💛💜
“I won’t get anymore dogs if you help me with our EIGHT current ones” Jeff needs to LEAVE
this show and supernally are so good
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.
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.
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
Victoria not only helps dogs but she helps relationships
Food and exercise are what most dogs need!
Seems like general ideas to help others to see mistakes 😢
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.
its funny when they always say, there is no way she will pull it out. but shes the best! she can do it all
At most I would have two dogs at once. I couldn't imagine having eight.
If I were Jeff, I'd move out. Why should he look after them? they're her dogs, and she has way too many. It seems that their entire relationship is centred around dogs.
i agree but it's such a beautiful house i would be so upset if I'd have to move bc of these dogs. he's probably on the mortgage too 😭
Love rescued dogs… there’s work but they will learn.. kudos to the owner for the patience.
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
The way Sylvester looks at her alone, you can tell Victoria has that sense of calm and confidence dogs look to for leadership 😊🥹
33:38 the fact that jeff looked sad XD
I don't have a dog but has learned to train them
This lady is real keen for having 8 dogs. Wild.
"They need to tackle his new problem: door dashing." Dog wants some extra cash to get his own place.
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.
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! 😖
I wonder Jeff realized he would be filmed doing so much cooking when he agreed to be on the dog show? :'D
I wish Victoria and I were related 😂I would take lessons from her😂
