Just from my perspective, I would add a few things as someone that has watched these dogs grow up... Almost everything said about Britney by the trainer could also be about Cypher. Cypher was a quarentine dog. He didn't meet or socialize much. He is fearful. He is nervous in situations. He still has a lot of those qualities to him, but he was saved by you getting Sahara and that changed him. Most of his behaviors were "caught" and fixed by having his sister join the family/pack. Rizal already came socialized, with littermates and the breeder's family. That is why it did not cause much disruption in the family. Britney just needs the chance to learn. She seems like she cares about pleasing people and that is a big thing, because it shows she is willing to learn and adapt to make people happy. The pack was used to Cyper being top rank. He is the oldest, he is RJs favorite, Cypher runs things when it comes to the pack dynamics. He disciplines and barks at the others to control the situation (like when the pack is playing together or running around). That is his role, that is how the other dogs seen him too. Also at play is, you have been splitting the pack for a while now, because of keeping the large dogs at the staff house and the smalls at home. That made a division in the pack. The staff house pack is led by Britney. The home pack is led by Cypher. Them being combined back together means that the leaders need to figure out the leader between them. The favoritism is also probably causing a problem. Your parents constantly feeding, treating, playing, holding the small dogs... Just from what we see in the vlogs, we can see that it has been more of an issue since your parents got there. We see dynamics are changing. Sahara is being babied and held. Cypher is usually up on furniture away from others. Rizal and Britney on the floor. The dogs watch that. I know that seems like a little thing, but it could have big impact. Packs have order and causing a disruption to that order, can cause issues. Look at it from a child's perspective... if your brother got kisses and ice cream for dinner, how would you feel with a simple hi and broccoli? It adds tension in the pack, without meaning to. This is just my perspective from having animals my whole life. My home has been a revolving door for fosters and rescues of all kinds. Don't give up. One round of training might not be the solution. It might take longer. Be prepared for that and to be okay doing it. Dogs can be really adaptable. We took in a pittbull that was used in fighting as a baitdog. We were told she was at least 2 years old. We were told that she could never be around other dogs safely. It took a lot of work. Months and months of socializing and retraining her mind. But it worked. Tanaka lived with us until she passed away. We had her 16 years and she never hurt anyone. We had her with our cats, chihuahuas, boston terrier, jack russel terrier, ferrets, wild rabbits and even squirrels that we raised. So, it can work out. There is hope at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes to the family and pack. You can get through this.
Yesss there is an issue on favoritisn. Dogs can sense this. Hope everything will be ok after the training. Britney needs a lot of love from her furparents🤞💖thanks mikey for letting her stay
She's also probably bored, the random chewing on things around the house... since she's past the teething stage, that's a sign of boredom which increases the level of "bad" behavior.
I hope mikey gets ro read your comment. Its very insightful! And it is true we do notice the favoritism and difference of treatment. Be it intentional or not. Dogs definitely can feel “selos”. The explanation of how packs work are also so on point. Naturally animals have a hierarchy and packs have leaders. Its a great thing for mikey and rj to not give up. The incident is hopefully an eye opener and will inspire change at how things are done at the mabuhay farm house! There are no perfect pet owners mikey and its a journey. Similar to parents with children ❤
I was worried that some will hate Britney because of the incident but we cant really expect dogs to behave the way we want them to unless we taught them how they should behave. I hope she will learn and do good in boarding school. Thank you Mikey and RJ for not giving up on Britney. .
I think that besides the dogs going through the camp, it's important for the humans to go through practicing recognizing the signs to predict the behaviour and learn how to set boundaries. I also think that when he repeatedly said "it's too early," he meant that it's too early to give up on Britney. I don't think he really doubted that she and your family could learn. You've done so much training with your birds, so I don't doubt that you can do the training with the dogs to ensure that you could stop something like this before it escalates (like she should be able to instantly drop something/someone on command without having to pry them apart). That's a basic necessary skill for any dog owner. I liked how you said that you and RJ talked about how if it was a human child, you wouldn't give up on them (right away) and send them away. Don't listen to your mom about this - she never bonded with Britney in the first place because she didn't find her cute. Remember the behaviourist's advice of no favouritism in the future. It will help with preventing fighting.
Such great points. I think it’s great Mikey is being proactive and learning how to manage his dogs who are of different breeds to be able to live together. It’s true that his mom did make comments about Britney not being cute. Perhaps she favors the other dogs and Britney felt that. Also with all the different guests visiting, it would be hard for the dogs to have anyone’s constant supervision so this is all a learning experience for Mikey and RJ. Thank you for vlogging with the dog trainer because it was very informative. Sometimes we may not know that certain things like having dog toys lying around can lead to serious territorial squabbles. I think because Britney is a different breed, there will be some things to learn.
Yeah here abroad they have dog trainer like i worked with my boss he constantly barking and he randomly nip without reason and quite aggressive so she hired a dog trainor
I think mikey mom and dad have been feeding the little ones extra all the time and loving on the little ones and picking them up and Britney is being left out and feeling jealous of this, deffo favouritism at play, that is why this is only happening now they are there.
I couldn't watch the video knowing it would make me cry. I came to the comments get an overview and now I'm crying! Gotta go put the video on to get a view for Mikey! It'll be on mute though. Lol
@@trishroscoe8273 *So true. It’s because we LOVE animals. Even when they have misbehaved and require disciplinary action, it’s still sad to see them go.* 🥹🥺🥰
I think Britney is a pretty high energy dog. I would suggest taking Britney on your daily walks. Just running around the house and yard isn't the same as a pack walk. It definitely was bound to happen since there is a difference in treatment between the big and smalls, like putting Cypher in a higher position away from the other dogs, shows the others he is above them. I have a pitbull and a miniature schnoodle, but they never fight thankfully. I really appreciate when Mikey didn't blame Britney but took responsibility for what happened and is willing to train her. She is stinking cute and is my favorite out of all the dogs.
Don’t feel guilty. I had a dog that was so hard to handle, I returned her to the pound. I quickly regretted the decision. Good thing I was able to get her back. It’s human to feel what you are feeling. You did good!
Im so happy you are giving her a second chance , dogs are like a child , if they mis behave you just don't give them away. You try to give them the resources to get better, to improve! Mabuhay!!
I am so glad you talked to a dog expert and are going to get some training for Britney! 🥰💗 It's possible that the birthday party/hubbub and preparations/outfits were something that "flooded" (as the trainer was talking about) her coping mechanisms on that day. Your parents being there and lots of changes in the pack dynamics could have played a role too. Also Cypher shows some signs of anxiety himself that maybe the trainer could weigh in off if he sees pack dynamics on a regular day. It doesn't seem like Britney is a killer - I think behavioural boot camp is an awesome idea and i'm glad Rizal will go too.
I’m wicked happy with how you and RJ’s final decision turned out. Thank you for finding more ways how to resolve the issue with Britney.. she is after all your “daughter” and shouldn’t be kicked out of the house for acting bad just for the very first time. Although we know you only want the best for everyone. Please don’t feel guilt, Mikey. You are a good person.☺️
Mikey.. I’m glad you are undertaking the opportunityvto train Britney, as for after she is trained and the “coach” says she can interact with other dogs please don’t separate her from the rest of the pack, she needs the pack to help her learn and to become the great dog she is intended to be. I personally think all 4 dogs should go to the training program as well as you and Rj take some sessions with the “ coach “ as well to learn how to deal with the situations that might arise. I have a pack of 5 dogs 1- 4 yr old GSD ( German shepherd) 2- 9 yr old pit bull boxer cross 3- 3 yr old Bull Mastiff 4- 2yr old cane corso lab x 5- his sister cane corso lab cross. We have gone through some pretty nasty fights between these dogs and spent thousands of dollars in training I learned ( even though I grew up with dogs many different kinds my whole life ) that I need to be the alpha and keep a calm cool and collected while dealing with the dogs. I haven’t had any issues with them since. I also was given the tools that needed to used like my Bull mastiff needs to wear an e collar when in the pack as he gets over protective of me so if a verbal correction doesn’t work he gets a correction from the e collar ( on vibration) it’s enough to take him out of the mind set that he needs to protect me. Take any opportunity to learn and get training it will only benefit the whole family and pack. Ps. Also I believe the bigger dogs need to be taken for long walks. Like I think Britney would benefit for taking him on your morning walks, a tired dog is a good dog. Also the small dogs need to follow the same rules as the big dogs ie not on the furniture, be corrected for proving any type of bad behaviour, no special treatment they need to be treated just like the big dogs. Hugs from Scarborough to your fam jam from mine.
If I'ma be honest this was preventable, such a thing me and many commenters had said way back when you first got the dogs. The way you allowed your dogs to treat each other even if it was play, the way you'll allow your dogs to bark and pull on the leash etc. Them knowing how to sit and lay down aren't as important as teaching them manors. If someone wants to call me insensitive I own a resource guarding dog, a dog who has drawn blood from my other dogs. With owning him I learned alot of dog body language, how to manage him and when to intervene. Not everyone has the know how and education to be able to properly manage a more dominant dog and it was a really good idea for Mikey to have sent her away for training but if Mikey had originally taken the time to hire an dog trainer or even taken some classes like so many commenters requested this outcome could of been prevented. Also the breeder was very much at fault. No ethical breeder would ever give their dog away for free, especially to someone who doesn't know the breed.
Highly agree on this one. Xolos are intelligent and they know how to get what they want by observing how you treat them - I own one. They are not the type where you just let them do what they want. They need constant training and daily exercise to avoid destructive behavior. Just looking at Britney’s color, it doesn’t look like she’s even going outside. They should have done their research before getting that breed.
As an ex educator who moved into psychology and sociology with a phd, I am 100% in agreement with Coach Francis! It is actually very similar to human early education and socialization. Parents always think they know best but we, as humans, are fallible. Dogs, even more so. I am loving this vlog So much!!! And Cypher was a lockdown puppy as well. Oh my!
I didn't want to watch the video cause i didn't want to see Britney go, but I am so happy to hear Britney is getting another chance! I'm rooting for her🙌
I was actually tearing up while she celebrated her birthday. Thank you for not giving up on her. She is just misunderstood and there's always room for improvement. It's part of taking care dogs ♥️ much love
I was teary eyed when you tried to give Britney his cake he looks sad and seems he knows you were planning to send him back to Mario. Thanks you give him a second chance. We love you M&RJ.
There are many reasons to not spay neuter. Lots of vets now recommend waiting will 2 years so the growth plates gave time to fully develop with all the necessary hormones. With proper management an intact dog won't have behavioural problems. Glad to see that your not giving up on Brittany just yet ❤️ I think the smaller dogs could really benefit from a training course also.
Pet ownership is for life! Thank you for really thinking it clearly and reaching out to a dog expert! It was just a tragic and traumatic at that time, you were in a whirlwind of emotions and shock at the same time! After Britney’s training, she will be a better dog!❤❤❤
We totally empathize with what you are going through now. I hope you won't give up on Britney. She deserves a second chance and she can be trained. There may be ways you can explore first before giving up on her. Please don't give up on her.. it's like giving up on your own daughter. please 🙏
I almost didn't watch this vlog solely from the title. I just know I couldn't based from your last one but then omg, I am so, so, so glad you are giving Britney a chance! Thank you, thank you. Please don't give up on your dog. Some dogs just need more help and training. That coach is right, dogs can react with fear with things they don't understand. That bootcamp can help her for sure. Please come with Britney in those sessions (you and RJ) to see. It might help so much in understanding her behaviour and reactivity to other dogs. You are doing the right thing! Thank you so much :)
Thank you, mickey, for not giving up on britney... i cried for her when you considered returning her to where she came from... sometines it is our fault when dogs become aggressive... and it seems she can feel your emotion... her eyes are sad... and seeing it just broke my heart 🥺 please, never give up on her... 🙏
I know you are grateful that you have the resources to deal with the dog situation. I am sure dog coach Frances will do an amazing job with Britney. Best wishes for a positive outcome for the situation. Now, on to other things - your mum cooks some delicious looking food!
Brittany is a pretty lucky gal that you guys love her so much. Hopefully this training works but if not, your supporters will stand behind on whatever y’all decide to do. Much luck and nothing but good vibes being sent your way! ❤
omg, I bawled my eyes out for todays video! I was sick worried since your last vlog at the thought of Britney being rehomed and fervently wished that you might reconsider your decision... thanks heavens! and thank you for giving Britney a chance and for not giving up on her! am pretty sure that her behavior can be sorted out by sir Francis' team.
OMG! I’ve been waiting for this vlog. I’ve prayed and thought of Britney. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for not giving up on her. I love you guys even more❤️. Now I can enjoy my weekend👍
Hey Mikey, We all learn something new each day of our lives. Hearing what Coach Francis said, I learned that what I had thought and expressed to you in a reply to the last vlog could very well be wrong. And I hope it was. Growing up we had a number of dogs and if any of the dogs were aggressive towards each other or to a person, my dad would rehome the dog. But hearing what Coach Francis said, that was probably the wrong thing to do. I wish I knew that then instead of now because we had a couple of incredible dogs that I loved that ended up being rehomed. Knowing now that this kind of behaviour can possibly be trained out of the dog I think keeping Brittney and having her go to doggy school to learn how and how not to behave is the better option. She deserves being fair, after all she was only doing what is natural for her to do, the Resource Guarding... very interesting! Kind of explains people really well to. Maybe getting that trained out of Brittney and keeping her as more of an outside dog, as she appears to be more inclined to be outside, would be the better thing for her. And yes, if you have human or dog company, she could be put in the staff house. The staff house with Ate Elsie could be Brittney's home. Cypher and Sahara are more inside dogs that go outside for walks or doing their doggy business outside so they could be Main House Dogs, and Rizal could be the roamer dog that goes everywhere. That's not a bad setup. I'm guessing that Brittney would naturally be geared as more of a Guardian Dog, so her having the outside to be free and roam the property could be beneficial as a sort of guard dog in a way, or, more of an Alert Dog, meaning a dog that Alerts you if someone is around, and also more of a protector dog to someone who isn't supposed to be on the property. We all deserve a 2nd chance in life, that goes for our pets too. Keep Safe and Always Inspiring, Matt - Toronto, Canada
Thank you🙏.I was moved by How you give a chance to your Britnney. Everybody makes mistakes.as a parent we guide and supervise our children. A salute to the coach.I learned and understand more How to take care our pets .Again thank you.applause to you Mickey and RJ.
Im so happy that you chose to give Brittney another chance, and choosing to keep the family together. This makes my dog loving heart so happy! Thank You! ❤❤❤
Very great news! Thank you for giving Britney a chance! Xolos are amazing dogs and it makes me so happy to hear you are willing to help her through a professional trainer. I'm sure not even a muzzle or keeping her apart will be necessary when she comes back, given that no more stressors are at hand. Do keep in constant touch with the coach and also consider being there for some sessions too. Learning goes for both dog and owner, even just watching you can learn a lot more.
I'm so glad you researched the issue with Brittany. You are doing the right thing in trying to learn and resolve, you are being proactive! I also learned listening to the dog trainer..yes hope for Brittany. ❤🙏 Pets are part of the family, when a child behaves in a disturbing way, we try everything to teach them it is not ok.
Just a suggestion, put handlebars on the last set of steps leading to the staff house Mikey. It will be useful to grab on to, especially when it rains and the steps are slippery.
All steps should have railings. Also remember to extend them far enough up, so people can get up that last step! Many people need railings, and it is just a matter of time until every person needs them. Also, most people need them at some time.
I cried so much while watching the last part of the video. Thank you for celebrating Britney's birthday and thank you for not giving up on Britney!!! 🥺❤️❤️
This is such a touching and profound video about Britney. I was teary-eyed because I just lost my dog, she died suddenly. I learned a lot from this video and I want to learn more. Praying for Britney and the training. I love this long vlog so much.
Sir Mickey and Sir Rj thank you for not giving up to Britney. Thank you for giving her another chance, i was really crying 😭😭😭 you guys really reading out comments. To ate Elsie i feel her kasi pag wala kayo im sure sya ang nagiging mother ng furbabies nyo. Anyway, thank you again.
I’m so so happy about this! Britney deserves a 2nd chance.. you’re correct.. this is the best gift you can give to Britney. This is already expected from You and Rj but still.. thank you for not giving up on her. That talk with Coach Francis was soo educational for pet owners like me. I too is raising a quarantine dog and what he have mentioned about some of those behaviour is an “ah huh!” Moment for me. As usual, sending You, Rj and the doggies much love! Enjoy the camp Britney! ❤️✨
I had my dog and cats brought here in the PH last november from Qatar which costed me hundreds of thousands of pesos. He fought with the other dog in the house even up to now but definitely I won't send him anywhere. Overtime he is getting used around the other dogs and is happening now. He grew up with me and he will die by my side and will forever take care of him up to his very last breath. Me also, just like ate elsie and I know it may sound crazy, I may hibernate for sometime just because of that bad decision. Remember the dog of one of your workers, I suggested that you have him adopted but you did not in the end. Sorry it makes me feel bad because every time you pamper your pets, it really makes me happy. I always wait for your new videos for me to watch and enjoy but how can I do that now when knowing that something closest to my heart, you have just drawn back. I wish you look for other alternatives by giving more time in teaching Britney. Watch YT videos on how to take care of aggressive dogs and cats.
When i saw you and RJ with Britney, i cried again... Britney your such a sweetheart. Pls don't give up on her. Im praying that her training will have positive results. Im happy that Cypher is really doin' great. The dogs are so cute and adorable.🥰
Thank you for giving her another chance! No matter how it ends up, you can at least know you did explore your options. Won't lie, I teared up when you said fate led her to you.
Great vlog! From a Pet keeper's POV, It really is an eye opener for some to consciously consider opting boot camps for our pets. It may be expensive for some but ensuring a great Pet Life is what we vowed when we started keeping a pet. Thank you for showing your subscribers how to love and care for their pets :D
Britney still deserve acceptance even if committing error that can be corrected, dog will still look at you and wait just to be at your side, its like a child that we cannot just let go..... We could learn as well for best approach and ask help from expert if one could afford....
I’m am happy you’re not giving up on Britney. I cried hard the last episode because I thought another dog would be without a family he or she grew up with. You’re a good person, Mikey. You and RJ. You have a kind heart. The world needs more of you. Thank you. I have faith Britney will get out of this situation a much behaved dog, and she will be able to play peacefully and happily with the others after the program for the rest of their lives.
I've been crying since Britney"s incident. Most especially on this vlog, thank you for not giving up on her. I am a dog parent too and i am emotionally attached to them. Britney must have felt until now the situation and i am so sorry for her as well as for your other dogs. I am hoping Dog Coach Francis can help Britney. YAY for now!
Respect. Just this video alone taught me so much. Thank you for sharing this. It's tuff being a pet parent because we have to learn the difference from human to animal. Those dogs are so lucky to have awesome pet parents♡♡♡ hope Brittney gets better as she learns ❤️
Thank you! Even after decades of owning dogs, we still learned something new. Comes to show you there is always more to learn no matter how many yrs of experience one has on something.
@Mikey Bustos Vlogs so true I think that goes with everything in life. I was in tears from your last post and I also was in tears in this post. You guys are doing a great job with your fur babies ♡
Mikey, I'm elated that you reached out to Dog Coach Francis. I follow him and I personally believe his approach is totally insightful. When I had my Dalmatian (many years ago), I put him through a "boot camp" like that, it was six weeks and the results were fantastic. During that six weeks I spent time with the trainers as well, learning a ton about what it takes to manage and train dogs, I learned so much that has helped me, even now. The trainers were very encouraging of me spending time in the program too. I absolutely believe that you're doing the right thing. Britney needs this and, I'm sure it'll help. I think that you slept without reliving the tragedy because you have a plan that you believe in and it gives Britney a chance to learn new social skills so she can be part of the family. I think that's just validation that you're doing the right thing. I think it's just too funny how Sahara has become the grandparent's favorite. Little Cypher looks like he's doing well, that's very encouraging to see. I just have to say this... the way everyone is treating Britney is amazing! I was concerned that RJ may have had a hard time forgiving her but, watching this just confirms what I already knew... ya'll have hearts of pure, 24K gold (and as we know, Gold is everything). Britney is not evil, she's an angel who needs a little education, she'll get this now. I believe the future will unfold as it needs to, now it'll be more informed. It's great we have such a hopeful ending! I hope we get updates as Britney goes to camp, I'm sure she's in the right place. I honestly feel that if anyone can help with this, it's Dog Coach Francis (I kinda wish we had him here in the US, LOL). Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and healthy!!! Good luck at camp, sweet Britney!! I'll see 'ya next time.
I'm so so so happy you didn't give up on Brittany she deserves way better then a breeders place to live she deserves what she loves and that's you guys and her home. Thank you for not giving up on her she's so beautiful.
Oh Mikey! I was so afraid to watch your next vlog because I don’t think I could’ve handled another crying session. But this time they were happy and hopeful tears. It takes a big man to admit one’s mistake and guilt especially in front of a camera. Your love for your baby girl overcame your fears and initial impulse to pass a permanent judgment on her. I knew you weren’t that kind of person and/or dog parent. That’s why I’ve been a supporter of your vlogs. And your 💯 right! This decision to give her a second chance is the best bday gift for Britney. As a fellow dog parent, I, too have lost sleep over this whole ordeal. Wishing you and your family happiness and peace.😘
I'm glad you gave Britney another chance! We, as the pawrents, really play a big role in our dogs' development. And it's important that we are consistent with how we treat them. So even after the training, at least you and RJ, should continue with teaching Britney and instilling in her as well as the other dogs, that you are authority. That way, they'll recognize boundaries. I also highly suggest for all your dogs to go through the dog training because regardless of their size/breed, dogs can get really agressive. It's in their naturewe can't fault them for it. At the end of the day, they're still animals. I was really waiting for this vlog and bracing myself for a broken heart if you ever decide to rehome Britney. So happy you didnt! Thank you for having such a big heart!
I am very happy that you are not giving up Britney. Your furry-baby deserve a second chance. She has a sweet facial aura. Perhaps, there are some jealousy factor that is why she acted that why. Hoping for a success story after her booth-camp. Best wishes and belated happy birthday, princess Britney! 🐶❤🎂🎉🇵🇭 #mabuhay
Wooo Britney ! I watch so much dog content . Cesar Milan . Victoria Stilwell , stuff on Netflix . But in all these shows . They also train the owners ❤
Thank you for giving her a chance, yes you need to learn how to manage as they are all different breeds and proper training will make a difference. At least you have given her the chance.
Never giving up is a Mikey and RJ trait. Of course, you’re gonna try to help and keep Britney. Like all moms and dads. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. 🥰
We do the same with our over playful, sometimes aggressive dog. We put him in a separate room with a bed, food, water, toys while we have guests. Once the guests are gone, he’s free to come out. We also try to plan ahead and give him a nice long walk before guests arrive so he’s exhausted and just chills in the room.
Thankful for sending Britney in boarding school for dog obedience. I have 16 dogs at home and they are together. When they fight I just "psssst" and they stopped fighting. That's basic obedience. I always use the magic word "SHARE". 😁
They say everyone makes mistakes and hope this is rare, I liked what the trainer said which makes sense when a child has a toy and another child is near by there’s usually a fight over that toy and u don’t give the child away so hope everything turns out great 🇨🇦👍
Just from my perspective, I would add a few things as someone that has watched these dogs grow up... Almost everything said about Britney by the trainer could also be about Cypher. Cypher was a quarentine dog. He didn't meet or socialize much. He is fearful. He is nervous in situations. He still has a lot of those qualities to him, but he was saved by you getting Sahara and that changed him. Most of his behaviors were "caught" and fixed by having his sister join the family/pack. Rizal already came socialized, with littermates and the breeder's family. That is why it did not cause much disruption in the family. Britney just needs the chance to learn. She seems like she cares about pleasing people and that is a big thing, because it shows she is willing to learn and adapt to make people happy.
The pack was used to Cyper being top rank. He is the oldest, he is RJs favorite, Cypher runs things when it comes to the pack dynamics. He disciplines and barks at the others to control the situation (like when the pack is playing together or running around). That is his role, that is how the other dogs seen him too. Also at play is, you have been splitting the pack for a while now, because of keeping the large dogs at the staff house and the smalls at home. That made a division in the pack. The staff house pack is led by Britney. The home pack is led by Cypher. Them being combined back together means that the leaders need to figure out the leader between them.
The favoritism is also probably causing a problem. Your parents constantly feeding, treating, playing, holding the small dogs... Just from what we see in the vlogs, we can see that it has been more of an issue since your parents got there. We see dynamics are changing. Sahara is being babied and held. Cypher is usually up on furniture away from others. Rizal and Britney on the floor. The dogs watch that. I know that seems like a little thing, but it could have big impact. Packs have order and causing a disruption to that order, can cause issues. Look at it from a child's perspective... if your brother got kisses and ice cream for dinner, how would you feel with a simple hi and broccoli? It adds tension in the pack, without meaning to.
This is just my perspective from having animals my whole life. My home has been a revolving door for fosters and rescues of all kinds. Don't give up. One round of training might not be the solution. It might take longer. Be prepared for that and to be okay doing it. Dogs can be really adaptable. We took in a pittbull that was used in fighting as a baitdog. We were told she was at least 2 years old. We were told that she could never be around other dogs safely. It took a lot of work. Months and months of socializing and retraining her mind. But it worked. Tanaka lived with us until she passed away. We had her 16 years and she never hurt anyone. We had her with our cats, chihuahuas, boston terrier, jack russel terrier, ferrets, wild rabbits and even squirrels that we raised. So, it can work out. There is hope at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes to the family and pack. You can get through this.
Agree on the comment about favoritism
@@lovelyderlalopez Agree on the favoritism comment too. Dogs definitely notice this dynamic.
Yesss there is an issue on favoritisn. Dogs can sense this. Hope everything will be ok after the training. Britney needs a lot of love from her furparents🤞💖thanks mikey for letting her stay
She's also probably bored, the random chewing on things around the house... since she's past the teething stage, that's a sign of boredom which increases the level of "bad" behavior.
I hope mikey gets ro read your comment. Its very insightful! And it is true we do notice the favoritism and difference of treatment. Be it intentional or not. Dogs definitely can feel “selos”. The explanation of how packs work are also so on point. Naturally animals have a hierarchy and packs have leaders. Its a great thing for mikey and rj to not give up. The incident is hopefully an eye opener and will inspire change at how things are done at the mabuhay farm house! There are no perfect pet owners mikey and its a journey. Similar to parents with children ❤
I was worried that some will hate Britney because of the incident but we cant really expect dogs to behave the way we want them to unless we taught them how they should behave. I hope she will learn and do good in boarding school. Thank you Mikey and RJ for not giving up on Britney. .
I think that besides the dogs going through the camp, it's important for the humans to go through practicing recognizing the signs to predict the behaviour and learn how to set boundaries. I also think that when he repeatedly said "it's too early," he meant that it's too early to give up on Britney. I don't think he really doubted that she and your family could learn. You've done so much training with your birds, so I don't doubt that you can do the training with the dogs to ensure that you could stop something like this before it escalates (like she should be able to instantly drop something/someone on command without having to pry them apart). That's a basic necessary skill for any dog owner. I liked how you said that you and RJ talked about how if it was a human child, you wouldn't give up on them (right away) and send them away. Don't listen to your mom about this - she never bonded with Britney in the first place because she didn't find her cute. Remember the behaviourist's advice of no favouritism in the future. It will help with preventing fighting.
Well said, thank you.
Agreed!
Such great points. I think it’s great Mikey is being proactive and learning how to manage his dogs who are of different breeds to be able to live together. It’s true that his mom did make comments about Britney not being cute. Perhaps she favors the other dogs and Britney felt that. Also with all the different guests visiting, it would be hard for the dogs to have anyone’s constant supervision so this is all a learning experience for Mikey and RJ.
Thank you for vlogging with the dog trainer because it was very informative. Sometimes we may not know that certain things like having dog toys lying around can lead to serious territorial squabbles. I think because Britney is a different breed, there will be some things to learn.
Yeah here abroad they have dog trainer like i worked with my boss he constantly barking and he randomly nip without reason and quite aggressive so she hired a dog trainor
I think mikey mom and dad have been feeding the little ones extra all the time and loving on the little ones and picking them up and Britney is being left out and feeling jealous of this, deffo favouritism at play, that is why this is only happening now they are there.
_I AM CRYING AGAIN… SO HAPPY FOR BRITNEY TO GET SOME TRAINING._ ♥️
I couldn't watch the video knowing it would make me cry. I came to the comments get an overview and now I'm crying!
Gotta go put the video on to get a view for Mikey! It'll be on mute though. Lol
@@trishroscoe8273 *So true. It’s because we LOVE animals. Even when they have misbehaved and require disciplinary action, it’s still sad to see them go.* 🥹🥺🥰
@@NeathenAlero Yeah, it’s always easy to tell someone else what they should do.
I think Britney is a pretty high energy dog. I would suggest taking Britney on your daily walks. Just running around the house and yard isn't the same as a pack walk. It definitely was bound to happen since there is a difference in treatment between the big and smalls, like putting Cypher in a higher position away from the other dogs, shows the others he is above them. I have a pitbull and a miniature schnoodle, but they never fight thankfully. I really appreciate when Mikey didn't blame Britney but took responsibility for what happened and is willing to train her. She is stinking cute and is my favorite out of all the dogs.
Don’t feel guilty. I had a dog that was so hard to handle, I returned her to the pound. I quickly regretted the decision. Good thing I was able to get her back. It’s human to feel what you are feeling. You did good!
I cried again on this video. Thank you for giving Britney a second chance!! Love,love,love Britney!!
Im so happy you are giving her a second chance , dogs are like a child , if they mis behave you just don't give them away. You try to give them the resources to get better, to improve! Mabuhay!!
To not let one bad behavior define Britney. Good move!💜
Good thing you didn't give up your dog and give it a second chance...❤❤❤
Yay for Britney! Thank you for being a responsible dog owner and not giving up!
Thank you for not giving up on her. I was truly heartbroken from your previous vlog. She obviously loves you and clearly wants to live with you 💗
Everytime we see your family it becomes so apparent why you are how you are. They are such good people and parents
I am so glad you talked to a dog expert and are going to get some training for Britney! 🥰💗 It's possible that the birthday party/hubbub and preparations/outfits were something that "flooded" (as the trainer was talking about) her coping mechanisms on that day. Your parents being there and lots of changes in the pack dynamics could have played a role too. Also Cypher shows some signs of anxiety himself that maybe the trainer could weigh in off if he sees pack dynamics on a regular day. It doesn't seem like Britney is a killer - I think behavioural boot camp is an awesome idea and i'm glad Rizal will go too.
I’m wicked happy with how you and RJ’s final decision turned out. Thank you for finding more ways how to resolve the issue with Britney.. she is after all your “daughter” and shouldn’t be kicked out of the house for acting bad just for the very first time. Although we know you only want the best for everyone. Please don’t feel guilt, Mikey. You are a good person.☺️
Thank you Mikey & RJ for giving Britney another chance, we just don’t give up on our kids. God bless you🙏
Mikey.. I’m glad you are undertaking the opportunityvto train Britney, as for after she is trained and the “coach” says she can interact with other dogs please don’t separate her from the rest of the pack, she needs the pack to help her learn and to become the great dog she is intended to be. I personally think all 4 dogs should go to the training program as well as you and Rj take some sessions with the “ coach “ as well to learn how to deal with the situations that might arise. I have a pack of 5 dogs 1- 4 yr old GSD ( German shepherd) 2- 9 yr old pit bull boxer cross 3- 3 yr old Bull Mastiff 4- 2yr old cane corso lab x 5- his sister cane corso lab cross. We have gone through some pretty nasty fights between these dogs and spent thousands of dollars in training I learned ( even though I grew up with dogs many different kinds my whole life ) that I need to be the alpha and keep a calm cool and collected while dealing with the dogs. I haven’t had any issues with them since. I also was given the tools that needed to used like my Bull mastiff needs to wear an e collar when in the pack as he gets over protective of me so if a verbal correction doesn’t work he gets a correction from the e collar ( on vibration) it’s enough to take him out of the mind set that he needs to protect me.
Take any opportunity to learn and get training it will only benefit the whole family and pack.
Ps. Also I believe the bigger dogs need to be taken for long walks. Like I think Britney would benefit for taking him on your morning walks, a tired dog is a good dog. Also the small dogs need to follow the same rules as the big dogs ie not on the furniture, be corrected for proving any type of bad behaviour, no special treatment they need to be treated just like the big dogs.
Hugs from Scarborough to your fam jam from mine.
I learned a lot from Coach. Thank you Mikey for not giving up on Britney. ❤️🙏
If I'ma be honest this was preventable, such a thing me and many commenters had said way back when you first got the dogs. The way you allowed your dogs to treat each other even if it was play, the way you'll allow your dogs to bark and pull on the leash etc. Them knowing how to sit and lay down aren't as important as teaching them manors.
If someone wants to call me insensitive I own a resource guarding dog, a dog who has drawn blood from my other dogs. With owning him I learned alot of dog body language, how to manage him and when to intervene. Not everyone has the know how and education to be able to properly manage a more dominant dog and it was a really good idea for Mikey to have sent her away for training but if Mikey had originally taken the time to hire an dog trainer or even taken some classes like so many commenters requested this outcome could of been prevented.
Also the breeder was very much at fault.
No ethical breeder would ever give their dog away for free, especially to someone who doesn't know the breed.
Highly agree on this one. Xolos are intelligent and they know how to get what they want by observing how you treat them - I own one.
They are not the type where you just let them do what they want. They need constant training and daily exercise to avoid destructive behavior. Just looking at Britney’s color, it doesn’t look like she’s even going outside.
They should have done their research before getting that breed.
THANK YOU for giving Britney another chance. I'm in tears again. Love you all. ♡♡♡
As an ex educator who moved into psychology and sociology with a phd, I am 100% in agreement with Coach Francis! It is actually very similar to human early education and socialization. Parents always think they know best but we, as humans, are fallible. Dogs, even more so. I am loving this vlog So much!!! And Cypher was a lockdown puppy as well. Oh my!
I cried when I heard you were rehoming Britney. 😢. Good thing you are giving her a chance ❤❤❤
More of Coach Francis please. This vlog made me cry. Our fur babies deserve 2nd chances.
I didn't want to watch the video cause i didn't want to see Britney go, but I am so happy to hear Britney is getting another chance! I'm rooting for her🙌
The BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT for Britney 😍 and the best decision you've ever did for your furbaby 😊😊 thanks, Mikes! Our hearts are relieved ❤
It is wonderful that you are keeping Britney and giving her the training she needs. 👍🏼
thank you for giving Britney a 2nd chance 🖤. I wish you and the dogs all the best 😘😘😘
We're all rooting for you Britney 🖤
Always on the safe side. That’s a good idea. They can get overwhelmed esp. with other guest. They can get stressed.
I was actually tearing up while she celebrated her birthday. Thank you for not giving up on her. She is just misunderstood and there's always room for improvement. It's part of taking care dogs ♥️ much love
I was teary eyed when you tried to give Britney his cake he looks sad and seems he knows you were planning to send him back to Mario. Thanks you give him a second chance. We love you M&RJ.
She* Britney is a girl.
Now you are attributing human feelings onto Britney, something she does not have!
There are many reasons to not spay neuter. Lots of vets now recommend waiting will 2 years so the growth plates gave time to fully develop with all the necessary hormones. With proper management an intact dog won't have behavioural problems. Glad to see that your not giving up on Brittany just yet ❤️ I think the smaller dogs could really benefit from a training course also.
Thank you for not giving up on Britney ❤❤❤
Pet ownership is for life! Thank you for really thinking it clearly and reaching out to a dog expert! It was just a tragic and traumatic at that time, you were in a whirlwind of emotions and shock at the same time! After Britney’s training, she will be a better dog!❤❤❤
We totally empathize with what you are going through now. I hope you won't give up on Britney. She deserves a second chance and she can be trained. There may be ways you can explore first before giving up on her. Please don't give up on her.. it's like giving up on your own daughter. please 🙏
I almost didn't watch this vlog solely from the title. I just know I couldn't based from your last one but then omg, I am so, so, so glad you are giving Britney a chance! Thank you, thank you. Please don't give up on your dog. Some dogs just need more help and training. That coach is right, dogs can react with fear with things they don't understand. That bootcamp can help her for sure.
Please come with Britney in those sessions (you and RJ) to see. It might help so much in understanding her behaviour and reactivity to other dogs. You are doing the right thing! Thank you so much :)
Thank you, mickey, for not giving up on britney... i cried for her when you considered returning her to where she came from... sometines it is our fault when dogs become aggressive... and it seems she can feel your emotion... her eyes are sad... and seeing it just broke my heart 🥺 please, never give up on her... 🙏
Thank you for sharing your talk with the Dog Coach and your whole experience. It was very informative and helpful.
I know you are grateful that you have the resources to deal with the dog situation. I am sure dog coach Frances will do an amazing job with Britney. Best wishes for a positive outcome for the situation.
Now, on to other things - your mum cooks some delicious looking food!
Good to know that tour keeping Britney and giving him that chance…i am so happy too! Proud of you!
Brittany is a pretty lucky gal that you guys love her so much. Hopefully this training works but if not, your supporters will stand behind on whatever y’all decide to do. Much luck and nothing but good vibes being sent your way! ❤
omg, I bawled my eyes out for todays video! I was sick worried since your last vlog at the thought of Britney being rehomed and fervently wished that you might reconsider your decision... thanks heavens! and thank you for giving Britney a chance and for not giving up on her! am pretty sure that her behavior can be sorted out by sir Francis' team.
Love that you’re willing to train her. Hoping everything works out. Coach Francis is amazing!
I’m so happy Brittney is getting the proper training/management she desperately need. I pray everything will workout and be one pack once again.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Tragic as this was, Coach Francis coming into yours and the Mabuhay Packs lives is such a blessing.
OMG! I’ve been waiting for this vlog. I’ve prayed and thought of Britney. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for not giving up on her. I love you guys even more❤️. Now I can enjoy my weekend👍
Hey Mikey,
We all learn something new each day of our lives.
Hearing what Coach Francis said, I learned that what I had thought and expressed to you in a reply to the last vlog could very well be wrong. And I hope it was. Growing up we had a number of dogs and if any of the dogs were aggressive towards each other or to a person, my dad would rehome the dog. But hearing what Coach Francis said, that was probably the wrong thing to do. I wish I knew that then instead of now because we had a couple of incredible dogs that I loved that ended up being rehomed.
Knowing now that this kind of behaviour can possibly be trained out of the dog I think keeping Brittney and having her go to doggy school to learn how and how not to behave is the better option. She deserves being fair, after all she was only doing what is natural for her to do, the Resource Guarding... very interesting! Kind of explains people really well to.
Maybe getting that trained out of Brittney and keeping her as more of an outside dog, as she appears to be more inclined to be outside, would be the better thing for her. And yes, if you have human or dog company, she could be put in the staff house. The staff house with Ate Elsie could be Brittney's home. Cypher and Sahara are more inside dogs that go outside for walks or doing their doggy business outside so they could be Main House Dogs, and Rizal could be the roamer dog that goes everywhere. That's not a bad setup.
I'm guessing that Brittney would naturally be geared as more of a Guardian Dog, so her having the outside to be free and roam the property could be beneficial as a sort of guard dog in a way, or, more of an Alert Dog, meaning a dog that Alerts you if someone is around, and also more of a protector dog to someone who isn't supposed to be on the property.
We all deserve a 2nd chance in life, that goes for our pets too.
Keep Safe and Always Inspiring,
Matt - Toronto, Canada
Thank you for giving Britney another chance. 🙏😘
Thank you🙏.I was moved by How you give a chance to your Britnney. Everybody makes mistakes.as a parent we guide and supervise our children. A salute to the coach.I learned and understand more How to take care our pets .Again thank you.applause to you Mickey and RJ.
Im so happy that you chose to give Brittney another chance, and choosing to keep the family together. This makes my dog loving heart so happy! Thank You! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for giving Britney another chance, for understanding her & loving her❤️🙏🏻
This made me cry. Thank you so so much for not giving up on Britney. 😭😭❣️❣️❣️❣️
Very great news! Thank you for giving Britney a chance! Xolos are amazing dogs and it makes me so happy to hear you are willing to help her through a professional trainer. I'm sure not even a muzzle or keeping her apart will be necessary when she comes back, given that no more stressors are at hand. Do keep in constant touch with the coach and also consider being there for some sessions too. Learning goes for both dog and owner, even just watching you can learn a lot more.
Brought me to tears….😭 live and learn and thanks for not giving up on Britney❤️
I'm so glad you researched the issue with Brittany. You are doing the right thing in trying to learn and resolve, you are being proactive! I also learned listening to the dog trainer..yes hope for Brittany. ❤🙏 Pets are part of the family, when a child behaves in a disturbing way, we try everything to teach them it is not ok.
Just a suggestion, put handlebars on the last set of steps leading to the staff house Mikey. It will be useful to grab on to, especially when it rains and the steps are slippery.
All steps should have railings. Also remember to extend them far enough up, so people can get up that last step! Many people need railings, and it is just a matter of time until every person needs them. Also, most people need them at some time.
I cried so much while watching the last part of the video. Thank you for celebrating Britney's birthday and thank you for not giving up on Britney!!! 🥺❤️❤️
I just recently watched your videos, and these last two episodes made me cry. Thank you very much for giving Britney another chance.
thank you thank you so much for keeping britney still a member of your family 👏👏👏👍👍
This is such a touching and profound video about Britney. I was teary-eyed because I just lost my dog, she died suddenly. I learned a lot from this video and I want to learn more. Praying for Britney and the training. I love this long vlog so much.
Sir Mickey and Sir Rj thank you for not giving up to Britney. Thank you for giving her another chance, i was really crying 😭😭😭 you guys really reading out comments. To ate Elsie i feel her kasi pag wala kayo im sure sya ang nagiging mother ng furbabies nyo. Anyway, thank you again.
I’m so so happy about this! Britney deserves a 2nd chance.. you’re correct.. this is the best gift you can give to Britney. This is already expected from You and Rj but still.. thank you for not giving up on her.
That talk with Coach Francis was soo educational for pet owners like me. I too is raising a quarantine dog and what he have mentioned about some of those behaviour is an “ah huh!” Moment for me.
As usual, sending You, Rj and the doggies much love!
Enjoy the camp Britney! ❤️✨
I'm so happy of the feedback from the couch, I didn't want her to leave the farm. Hopefully she goes to the camp. And come back home.
OOOHHH MY GOSH MIKEYYYYY I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR NOT GIVING UP BRITNEY 😭😭😭😭😭 GOD BLESS YOUR HEART ❤❤❤❤❤
Salamat Mikey & Rj for not giving up on Britney.. shes a good dog she just needs training… ❤❤❤❤we all love our Mabuhaysquad inaanaks
I had my dog and cats brought here in the PH last november from Qatar which costed me hundreds of thousands of pesos. He fought with the other dog in the house even up to now but definitely I won't send him anywhere. Overtime he is getting used around the other dogs and is happening now. He grew up with me and he will die by my side and will forever take care of him up to his very last breath. Me also, just like ate elsie and I know it may sound crazy, I may hibernate for sometime just because of that bad decision. Remember the dog of one of your workers, I suggested that you have him adopted but you did not in the end. Sorry it makes me feel bad because every time you pamper your pets, it really makes me happy. I always wait for your new videos for me to watch and enjoy but how can I do that now when knowing that something closest to my heart, you have just drawn back. I wish you look for other alternatives by giving more time in teaching Britney. Watch YT videos on how to take care of aggressive dogs and cats.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
EXACTLY! MY DOGS & CATS ARE MY LIFE AND I WONT EXCHANGE THEM FOR ANYTHING
When i saw you and RJ with Britney, i cried again... Britney your such a sweetheart. Pls don't give up on her. Im praying that her training will have positive results. Im happy that Cypher is really doin' great. The dogs are so cute and adorable.🥰
Thank you for giving her another chance! No matter how it ends up, you can at least know you did explore your options. Won't lie, I teared up when you said fate led her to you.
Great vlog! From a Pet keeper's POV, It really is an eye opener for some to consciously consider opting boot camps for our pets. It may be expensive for some but ensuring a great Pet Life is what we vowed when we started keeping a pet. Thank you for showing your subscribers how to love and care for their pets :D
So nice to see Rizal and Britney playing! ❤. So happy Britney had her cake and a little celebration!
Britney still deserve acceptance even if committing error that can be corrected, dog will still look at you and wait just to be at your side, its like a child that we cannot just let go..... We could learn as well for best approach and ask help from expert if one could afford....
I’m am happy you’re not giving up on Britney. I cried hard the last episode because I thought another dog would be without a family he or she grew up with. You’re a good person, Mikey. You and RJ. You have a kind heart. The world needs more of you. Thank you. I have faith Britney will get out of this situation a much behaved dog, and she will be able to play peacefully and happily with the others after the program for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for not giving up on Britney.🙏🏻💚❤️Happy birthday Britney🎂🎂🎂.Love love love.❤️💚
So glad that you're keeping her. You guys made the right decision. ❤ USA
I'm so happy that you're giving Britney a new chance. She looked so pretty in her Chanel collar💗
I've been crying since Britney"s incident. Most especially on this vlog, thank you for not giving up on her. I am a dog parent too and i am emotionally attached to them. Britney must have felt until now the situation and i am so sorry for her as well as for your other dogs. I am hoping Dog Coach Francis can help Britney. YAY for now!
I love how you and your family treat, respect and love all your animals!!! It’s the BEST and I love that your giving Brittany another chance!!!:)
Got so concerned for britney. Good call on consulting an expert. Never give up on family.
Respect. Just this video alone taught me so much. Thank you for sharing this. It's tuff being a pet parent because we have to learn the difference from human to animal. Those dogs are so lucky to have awesome pet parents♡♡♡ hope Brittney gets better as she learns ❤️
Thank you! Even after decades of owning dogs, we still learned something new. Comes to show you there is always more to learn no matter how many yrs of experience one has on something.
@Mikey Bustos Vlogs so true I think that goes with everything in life. I was in tears from your last post and I also was in tears in this post. You guys are doing a great job with your fur babies ♡
im just so happy you didnt give up on her, she is a really special dog that can sitll learn
Mikey, I'm elated that you reached out to Dog Coach Francis. I follow him and I personally believe his approach is totally insightful. When I had my Dalmatian (many years ago), I put him through a "boot camp" like that, it was six weeks and the results were fantastic. During that six weeks I spent time with the trainers as well, learning a ton about what it takes to manage and train dogs, I learned so much that has helped me, even now. The trainers were very encouraging of me spending time in the program too. I absolutely believe that you're doing the right thing. Britney needs this and, I'm sure it'll help.
I think that you slept without reliving the tragedy because you have a plan that you believe in and it gives Britney a chance to learn new social skills so she can be part of the family. I think that's just validation that you're doing the right thing.
I think it's just too funny how Sahara has become the grandparent's favorite. Little Cypher looks like he's doing well, that's very encouraging to see.
I just have to say this... the way everyone is treating Britney is amazing! I was concerned that RJ may have had a hard time forgiving her but, watching this just confirms what I already knew... ya'll have hearts of pure, 24K gold (and as we know, Gold is everything). Britney is not evil, she's an angel who needs a little education, she'll get this now. I believe the future will unfold as it needs to, now it'll be more informed.
It's great we have such a hopeful ending! I hope we get updates as Britney goes to camp, I'm sure she's in the right place. I honestly feel that if anyone can help with this, it's Dog Coach Francis (I kinda wish we had him here in the US, LOL).
Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and healthy!!! Good luck at camp, sweet Britney!! I'll see 'ya next time.
Glad to know that Britney is still a family member. Cause it's really about the behaviour. Good decision !!!
I'm so so so happy you didn't give up on Brittany she deserves way better then a breeders place to live she deserves what she loves and that's you guys and her home. Thank you for not giving up on her she's so beautiful.
Oh Mikey! I was so afraid to watch your next vlog because I don’t think I could’ve handled another crying session. But this time they were happy and hopeful tears. It takes a big man to admit one’s mistake and guilt especially in front of a camera. Your love for your baby girl overcame your fears and initial impulse to pass a permanent judgment on her. I knew you weren’t that kind of person and/or dog parent. That’s why I’ve been a supporter of your vlogs. And your 💯 right! This decision to give her a second chance is the best bday gift for Britney. As a fellow dog parent, I, too have lost sleep over this whole ordeal. Wishing you and your family happiness and peace.😘
Put things like carrots Celery even dried fruit on a string or tied up on the trees for the birds to keep them busy
So glad you’re not giving up on Britney!❤ Sending prayers that she does well at the 5-week course… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🐾🐾💕💕
It’s so nice to have your mom around the house. She definitely reminds me of my mom as well😊 I’m so happy you are giving Britney a chance❤
Great plan! How fortunate that your pets truly have great “parents” that cares for them. Good job!
I'm glad you gave Britney another chance! We, as the pawrents, really play a big role in our dogs' development. And it's important that we are consistent with how we treat them. So even after the training, at least you and RJ, should continue with teaching Britney and instilling in her as well as the other dogs, that you are authority. That way, they'll recognize boundaries. I also highly suggest for all your dogs to go through the dog training because regardless of their size/breed, dogs can get really agressive. It's in their naturewe can't fault them for it. At the end of the day, they're still animals. I was really waiting for this vlog and bracing myself for a broken heart if you ever decide to rehome Britney. So happy you didnt! Thank you for having such a big heart!
I am very happy that you are not giving up Britney. Your furry-baby deserve a second chance. She has a sweet facial aura. Perhaps, there are some jealousy factor that is why she acted that why. Hoping for a success story after her booth-camp. Best wishes and belated happy birthday, princess Britney! 🐶❤🎂🎉🇵🇭 #mabuhay
Got teary eyed while you're talking about your dog... ❤️😢 Buti nalang may 2nd chance
Wooo Britney ! I watch so much dog content . Cesar Milan . Victoria Stilwell , stuff on Netflix . But in all these shows . They also train the owners ❤
Cesar Milan is an animal abuser, the dogs he "trains" are traumatized into submission. Do some research before singing his praises please.
Thank you for giving her a chance, yes you need to learn how to manage as they are all different breeds and proper training will make a difference. At least you have given her the chance.
I am so glad cipher is doing much better. And it’s wonderful to hear that you have not given up on Brittany and are offering her a second chance
Never giving up is a Mikey and RJ trait. Of course, you’re gonna try to help and keep Britney. Like all moms and dads. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. 🥰
Happy for your decision! Please do also consider training for the other three dogs as well. It could be beneficial for your pack.
We do the same with our over playful, sometimes aggressive dog. We put him in a separate room with a bed, food, water, toys while we have guests. Once the guests are gone, he’s free to come out. We also try to plan ahead and give him a nice long walk before guests arrive so he’s exhausted and just chills in the room.
Thankful for sending Britney in boarding school for dog obedience. I have 16 dogs at home and they are together. When they fight I just "psssst" and they stopped fighting. That's basic obedience. I always use the magic word "SHARE". 😁
I’m glad you’re giving her another chance ❤
I'm glad that there's still hope for Britney's behavior. I also don't want to see her go. Britney and Rizal are the best of friends.
They say everyone makes mistakes and hope this is rare, I liked what the trainer said which makes sense when a child has a toy and another child is near by there’s usually a fight over that toy and u don’t give the child away so hope everything turns out great 🇨🇦👍
I’m so glad that you and Rj have decided to give BRITNEY a second chance. Ty 😊❤️🐶
