We had a Gordon setter golden retriever and she had this beautiful hair... I'm really glad she wasnt OCD but she had 13 acres to run on and listened well thankfully:)
Things I learned today: - The Gordon Setter breed exists and it's gorgeous. - Dogs can get OCD. - Victoria has one of the best bird-calling noises I've ever heard!
When the lady said it was like looking after a child with autism, I nodded so hard. She was on the money. A lot of what Max does translates to compulsions I had a little autistic kid. Hyperfixation on things, requirement for rigid routine and specific objects, lots of energy but only certain things that you want to spend it on. I still have all of this but I manage better now. Honestly, what a sweet dog. I'm glad Victoria didn't see it as something to punish but instead something to support and manage.
That’s why I love this show you can tell Victoria knows her stuff she looks for the positives in the dog and that’s what she uses to gain its trust and her methods clearly work
But she compared me and autistic person to a dog I understand what she meant but people keep comparing us to other animals which is wrong autistic children are people not dogs
Yeah I was afraid someone would see that as offensive, but it really does make sense. I know plenty of functional adults with autism, and I know one person who probably can't ever live on his own-the range of autistic experiences is vast. But hyperfixations are a HUGE one. And the door licking is very much like a kind of stim or fidget.
@FIRING_BLIND agreed, my 7 year old son is hyper fixated on old transatlantic steam cruisers. I now know much about the titanic and her sisters thanks to him ❤
Max is the most adorable dog they had on this show. Really interesting case as well. He wasn’t a bad dog at all, he just lived completely in his own world.
@@claudeusgothicus6453 honestly. These owners are not that bad. They didnt know they were dealing with OCD and didnt recognize those triggers they were feeding into. They were ignorant, but not particularly bad owners. They weren't just letting him run amok, but just didnt know how to deal with it.
I was shocked in this episode that dogs can get OCD! and it made a change for once that it wasn't the owners causing the issues they just needed guidance on how to manage Max's condition.
The bit where Victoria draws him away from the window is amazing to me because what it really shows is that above everything else this dog values his owners more than any high he gets from lights
yes. it has one other episode where the owner is so nice and loves her dog, she listens to Viktoria and wants to learn and she really wants the best for her dog so this and that episode has very nice owners . Its refreshing.
this has been by far the most interesting one because it wasnt his owners lack of disipline. its an actual impulse and it was so interesting to watch Victoria fix something like this
I was so surprised by this episode that dogs can have OCD. It made such a refreshing change to see the owners weren't causing the issues they just needed guidance on how to handle his condition. Max is such a beautiful dog I'd never heard of this breed before.
@Martine I must have missed those episodes but this really fascinated me I know dogs can have PTSD I remember seeing Cesar deal with a dog who had it but it never occurred to me that a dog can have OCD
I hate the phrase "I'm so OCD." Well, have you sat alone in your room crying because the thoughts are repeating so much in your head that it hurts & you want to put your brain in a blender? Yeah, that's the dark side of OCD. I have spent nights with my head in my hands crying because my OCD was badgering me so much. Edit: they think it's all neat & tidy but that's not all aspects of life for everyone with OCD, if it comes to cleaning my friend's house then I'm up for it but if it's mine I won't touch it, we are neat in certain things but very untidy in other things.
I think the main difference as to why this couple are so likeable, is their obvious intelligence. Compared to the usual types they have on this show, they are clearly interested in making changes that will help their dog. It is so refreshing to see!
Video Note: We upload the full episodes preserving all the content without anything cut out. In this case there's a few nicknames like 'mad' and 'crazy' which are a bit distasteful when talking OCD and not ideal. We are aware of it!
I understand your point, but the owner wasn’t purposefully trying to be disrespectful in her comments. It is hard to know exactly what words may be appropriate and non-offensive these days. I appreciate the full episodes. God bless.
Max is lucky to have such lovable owners that care for him so much. It just was confusing to them about his behavior that all they want is for him to be the best dog. He has incredible potential when he's not so fixated on reflection and hears his owners voice instead.
Did you spot toys for the dog anywhere? What he needs is some good playtime what he gets is sitting around or following his owners. As he is bored he finds his own ways to keep himself entertained / busy
Sattv and yet what you said doesn’t relate to what cova said. It is obvious that they are patient, I think we all can agree with that. Toys or no toys is another argument.
@@tyce3849 he still has ADHD. Toys really don't matter here. Victoria didn't even mention it. Stop constantly trying desperately to blame the owners even when they don't do anything wrong.
@@tyce3849 If it were that simple by distracting the dog with toys Max wouldn't be doing what he is. Its OCD its a compulsion and the impulse control goes right out of the window and your brain is locked onto it. I have bipolar disorder and PTSD and a few OCD traits when I go into an obsessive state of mind I become so fixated I can't see anything else around me but my obsession its difficult to get out of and mine are just traits and when my moods and state of mind change and become more stable that obsessive part of me subsides and I can get out of that obsessiveness. Now imagine what its like for someone with full blown OCD its constant with them they get no respite from it and not everyone can understand what they're going through.
Oh my goodness, THANK GOD FOR THIS EPISODE!! My dog has horrible OCD with reflections and I never saw another act that way. I do everything I can to not cause reflections because it causes my dog so much stress! She cries, barks, jumps, everything 😭 Is so sad. I’m happy to see it be treated so I can try some new techniques.
It literally is their fault though. They probably played with him with laser pointers and reflections. They more than likely didn’t know they were harming him though.
I loved at the end where the wife was talking to Victoria when walking, so she didn't praise him. The husband immediately stepped in and went "good boy!"
_Max_ didn't switch that reflection obsession to the carpet, it was involuntary. With OCD, it's not willful. As soon as you cut off one trigger, another one pops up from the depths of one psyche. Trust me, it's entirely against your will. They have done a brilliant job. Most of all, Max has done a brilliant job. OCD is heinous. There's good reason she allowed them 4x the regularly allotted time to work with Max. OCD is simply incredibly difficult to overcome. It takes time and immense patience. It's essentially whack-a-mole. Just when you think you've tackled a one part of it fully, another three issues come popping up out of the woodwork, lol...;)
I am currently seeing a therapist for it. Just when ''we'' managed to break through one of my habits, I fell ill, which, of course, was punishment for not following my usual routine and I had to start all over again. Don't even get me started on the compensating for things you haven't done (properly) and must now desperately try to even out; endless counting, repetition and doing everything all over again. Took me over 20 minutes to wash one wine glass.
I think where a lot of onwers fail and where Victoria excels is by putting the right amount of energy and intent into a command or an action. I see it with horse owners all the time. They fail because their intent is lacking.
As a dog trainer (in training) I am so happy to see that this couple is 100% willing to work with their dog and listen to Victoria. Sometimes clients are so hardheaded and unruly!
+flxutist-And it's heartbreaking that too many so-called owners are willing to give up on their dogs for much less than this couple. Max wasn't a bad dog, he just had OCD, he did certain things that not even he completely understood and he probably wasn't happy with being forever locked into these rigid, demanding compulsions. The owners knew Max wasn't a bad dog, and when Victoria told them their dog actually had OCD, they. . .listened. They were willing to do what it took to give their dog a better quality of life and if they kept up that training, Max easily would've gone on to be much healthier and even happier.
I've spent 10k replacing the damage my bulldog did over 5 years. He's now 6 and is currently asleep on the sofa, fully house trained (90% of the time), healthy, happy and My baby. Dogs are not a commodity, they are a life long commitment. My dog also used to hump and bite me and my partner before castration, now he's a completely different dog.
This is remarkable. Training a dog with a disorder and mastering the craft the way that Victoria does is nothing short of amazing. I Love watching her change these dogs and their guardians lives! 🙏🏾💫💛💫🙏🏾
Excellent owners. They're so open to learning and their biggest problem wasn't caused by them, but they worked to delicately with Victoria to help him. The husband and wife are also a team, unlike so many other owners who struggle with their dogs. And he didn't have some ego when it came to making funny noises to get Max to return. Lovely people, you can tell.
Victoria Stillwell is LITERALLY a miracle worker. She is absolutely incredible. I always watch re-runs of It's Me Or The Dog and implement any training that could improve my dogs life. Training both for him AND for me. Victoria is truly my hero & my inspiration! I would love to meet her and pick her brains with so many questions! ❤❤❤
is it weird to say that victoria’s explanation on OCD (and this episode in general) made me feel a lot better about mine? :’)) i get triggered by seeing my hands and by looking in the mirror and this was super interesting to see in a dog as it’s so similar to me.
I have never seen that breed before. Beautiful. Glad to see an episode where the dog's problems are not entirely the people's fault, even though they exacerbated it.
Jo Luffman Yeah, it isn’t a very common breed (in the states, at least). I’ve been working with dogs for 10 years, and I’ve never seen this breed in person. It makes me sad lol. It’s such a beautiful dog.
@@cannapatient4209 Haha, I was about to say it was a very common breed, but he looks very different than most. I live in Norway, and I've seen several Gordon setters and Irish setters a lot in my small town of 6000 people! It's so interesting how much it differs.
:/ yeah, the reason dogs get obsessed with reflections is because they can't catch them, so they will spend the rest of their lives looking for it, which isn't long with the bad cases, some wont eat sleep or drink until they finally catch the light.
@@auburneytuckerson2959 Most of the time it starts with wanting something, it could be something you like or hate, you just feel very strongly about it.
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
I love it when the owners obviously want to help their dog and they don't need Victoria to make them feel that way. They don't need the talk, they just listen and do it.
I don't even have a dog but I'm loving this show. Victoria is incredible, it's satisfying to watch her train dogs (and their owners). Such a cool woman.
Max is one stunning dog, so glad Victoria could help him and his owners🥰 I'm not happy about Drena saying Max was "like an autistic children or some child with problems" That's not the right way to say it to be honest😣
I agree, I didn't want to cut anything from the episode for transparency but the tendency of this episode to say 'Mad' 'Crazy' and 'With problems' isn't ideal. Don't worry you're not alone.
Well i never thought I'd see David Hamilton on this show! What a complex dog but goes to show absolute credit to David and his wife for their determination to train and work with Max. A highly intelligent couple with a highly intelligent dog. And well done Victoria, this was an incredibly difficult challenge ❤️
I love Victoria and the way she handles the owners, but can you blame this two? I mean, that dog looks like he's wearing a ginger wig, I would do whatever he wanted too.
I have german sheppered cross who has OCD it started with an obsessive chase of the tail then the obsessive chase of shadows Ive been working at it very hard and thank god hes so much better
I love this woman!! It amazes me how small things can make such a huge difference in the dogs behavior. I’ve used her techniques with my own dogs and they work, and they work quickly. Almost instantaneously. She’s a dog whisperer for sure. The noise aversion is a brilliant solution.
It's really refreshing seeing an episode where the owners aren't just idiots that mishandled their dog but really responsible dog owners who want to help their dog...
One of my favorite episodes. Max was a fascinating subject and a neat looking pup. The bit where he zoned out on his shadow with the tail wagging was so freaking cute.
I think Max is my favorite dog so far! He is beautiful and such a sweetie, I'm so glad that he's getting the help he needs to live his happiest life. Also, both Max's and Ms. Victoria's hair are on point!
This is one of the best episodes. I love how they show solutions. One of my dogs has OCD and the other is perfect in every way except she is obsessed with barking at passers by. It was so bad that she had to retire from being a service dog.
Why does Victoria weirdly remind of the girl in despicable me, lucy Edit: is it okay to talk about the minions or am I considered a cyber bully? Halp me pls
I could be remembering wrong, but I think Max was a retired military dog. He spent a lot of time in a room with a lot of mirrors on the wall, and his reflection obsession likely stemmed from that.
Such a refreshing episode/couple compared to the owners in other episodes. Genuinely nice, decent people and an interesting case. Plus, the hubby was hilarious and sweet when he flailed his arms to call over Max 😆
omg! I've watched all these episodes and this is the first one that can actually help me with my dog. Yes, my dog is exactly like Max--OCD and OBSESSED with lights and shadows!
I love how the dog has a little hairdo at the top. My dog has the same thing and he even looks like the dog in the video. Except he's smaller and a different breed.
Max is so beautiful just a stunning breed the owners are so sweet and very pleasant to watch Max is a lucky dog to have such awesome owners Victoria is just amazing
we had a rescue dog that had ocd too and acted a lot like max. she wasn't obsessed with like, but she would frequently pace around rooms and dig at corners or spots in the floor. she was so sweet and we dont know what she was obsessed with, but being a border collie, she had a lot of energy and would go all day without any attention to food or to us.

The owners in this episode are so sweet and great to work with! This episode’s so pure
YA I AGREE
Monti Pinetree it’s always the owners fault so get that atraight
Yes, and I laughed so hard when the owner was talking about going through the park waving his arms and making silly noises. 😆😆👏👏

Yeah
It's nice to see owners who visibly love their dog after that poor golden retriever with its horrific family.
Tia what about scooby the dog with panic attacks it wasn’t there fault he had them
It literally is their fault though. They probably played with him with laser pointers and reflections. They more than likely didn’t know they were harming him though.

Yes I agree
He looks very weird. What's the breed?
same
@@susanna8612 gordon setter,its said in the description but he’s probably a mix
1. First time the owner's care about the dog.
2. Max's hair should be a new trend.
3. Victoria is the best.
I thought it was already a trend?
Do they keep him in a show cut?

This episode made me smile. The owners were so sweet and it made me happy to see them with their better-behaved doggy.
Victoria Stillwell is LITERALLY a miracle worker. She is absolutely incredible. I always watch re-runs of It's Me Or The Dog and implement any training that could improve my dogs life. Training both for him AND for me. Victoria is truly my hero & my inspiration! I would love to meet her and pick her brains with so many questions! ❤❤❤
Ok, what I learned from binging this is that Victoria fixes EVERYTHING
People use bing?
@@chaosswa-ee-ty5911 no, I binged the series
which means I was watching this in one sitting.
@@sasha_stories2887 it's called dogbinging get it right next time please
Max looks like a chocolate lab with a wig on 😂 he's so cute
Hes def a setter but whats throwing me off is his hair gordon setters have hair like that but not exactly like that hm
Lol yeah, when they first showed him, I definitely thought the owners put a wig on a dog. He looks like a muppet lol
Yeah!!!
That cannot be unseen. I laughed every time I see him now.
1.I love Victoria's hair.
2.I love her voice.
3.I love her hair do.
4.I love her attitude.
5.I DROOL OVER HER CAR!
You mean you love Victoria's bangs? Coz 1997 called and wants its bangs back
I like her bangs and the way she does her hair. The total effect that has on her personality!😍
The dog has better hair tbh
Oh yes.the dog's hair!! I have never seen a dog quite like that.Its worth a praise.
@@saysHotdogs 😅
The fact they didn’t mess up when Victoria left is amazing good teamwork!
is it weird to say that victoria’s explanation on OCD (and this episode in general) made me feel a lot better about mine? :’)) i get triggered by seeing my hands and by looking in the mirror and this was super interesting to see in a dog as it’s so similar to me.
im so glad!! ur so valid for ur ocd and its totally in your control! i wish you nothing but the best, fellow ocd friend
That’s wonderful! I’m glad you can find comfort in it! OCD has to be hell to cope with!
you’re so cute i’m proud of you!!! ☹️
this is by far the best family i have ever seen on this show
Aren't you a snail person spongebob
I have never seen that breed before. Beautiful. Glad to see an episode where the dog's problems are not entirely the people's fault, even though they exacerbated it.
Jo Luffman Yeah, it isn’t a very common breed (in the states, at least). I’ve been working with dogs for 10 years, and I’ve never seen this breed in person. It makes me sad lol. It’s such a beautiful dog.
He's a Gordon Setter
@@cannapatient4209 Haha, I was about to say it was a very common breed, but he looks very different than most. I live in Norway, and I've seen several Gordon setters and Irish setters a lot in my small town of 6000 people! It's so interesting how much it differs.
Dog: **loves refelctions**
Her: **brings disco ball**
Dog: *”I’m in heaven”*
Gray Wolf lmao
Gray Wolf lol
:/ yeah, the reason dogs get obsessed with reflections is because they can't catch them, so they will spend the rest of their lives looking for it, which isn't long with the bad cases, some wont eat sleep or drink until they finally catch the light.
Don't onsessjins start with liking something?
@@auburneytuckerson2959 Most of the time it starts with wanting something, it could be something you like or hate, you just feel very strongly about it.
it’s so cute how proud the owners are of themselves and just want to tell victoria, they are like little toddlers ADORABLE
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
Can I just say how gorgeous the lady owner is? Her sense of style is beautiful haha
9:10
Victoria: BAAAp
Max: O_O
I love how instant the reaction was. Such a sudden and new thing for Max; he couldn't help but stop to notice the new.
Acatalepsy 😂😂
Wooww
I love it when the owners obviously want to help their dog and they don't need Victoria to make them feel that way. They don't need the talk, they just listen and do it.
I don't even have a dog but I'm loving this show. Victoria is incredible, it's satisfying to watch her train dogs (and their owners). Such a cool woman.
I don’t have one either, but I watch to prep myself if I get one and for Victoria. 🙂
So proud of them! Having a dog with ocd requires a lot of structure and rewards. This couple truly are committed to their pooch.
That dog looks like he was full on making out with that reflection.
I would too, if I had his hair XD
@@silverstonestream5477 🤣🤣🤣
**insert careless whisper here**
*plays snazzy saxophone*
Make sure use you use a doggom
no one:
literally no one:
dog: i LiKe sHiNy
Other dog: *shows pokemon card collection*
Max: gOt aNy sHyNiEs?
@@doctorkwack101fan WHEEZE
Don't show him Shiny from Moana. LOL
@@moonlightshadow6226 Oh, please, that crab has nothing on Max lol
Shinee music is Max's anthem.
It's amazing what can happen if you tell a dog "no"
No
Have you never watched this show before? 😂😂 people can say no as much as they want but a willful dog won't listen
The owners were so enthusiastic about his training, this is so heartwarming 🥰
Wow. I have ocd and seeing s dog having it is very interesting. I like feel his pain😂
Lmao I thought the dog was wearing a wig
50 subs with no videos same lol😂😂
LOL! It reminds me of the wigs barristers and judges wear!
if only I could have his hair
a wig like trump's
Max is one stunning dog, so glad Victoria could help him and his owners🥰
I'm not happy about Drena saying Max was "like an autistic children or some child with problems" That's not the right way to say it to be honest😣
Dog has special needs.
Is what it is.
I agree, I didn't want to cut anything from the episode for transparency but the tendency of this episode to say 'Mad' 'Crazy' and 'With problems' isn't ideal. Don't worry you're not alone.
@@ItsMeortheDog Thank you! I only commented this because I'm Autistic myself and suffer with severe OCD😊
@@elixoxana:)
Looking 8
His wavy head of hair is so luxurious! ✨👑✨
Well i never thought I'd see David Hamilton on this show! What a complex dog but goes to show absolute credit to David and his wife for their determination to train and work with Max. A highly intelligent couple with a highly intelligent dog. And well done Victoria, this was an incredibly difficult challenge ❤️
He is over indulged and spoiled rotten”
“NO!” Lol sweet couple
Wait... could it be?
Is the husband prioritizing the dog for the first time?
Sound the alarms, everyone, sound the frickin' alarms!
😂😂😂
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
I love Victoria and the way she handles the owners, but can you blame this two? I mean, that dog looks like he's wearing a ginger wig, I would do whatever he wanted too.
It’s nice to see a Family that really does care and was well intentioned.
Victoria: he is over indulged and spoiled rotten!
Owner: 👁👄👁 nO
Lmao got me good
Victoria: bish u channeling me
try to say that with overspoilt sugar overfed kids and their nose-stuck on their mobile phone too busy parents feeding them Big Pharma's menu...
NikkieRoxxx wHaT-
An episode that was actually full of heart instead of frustration towards the owners. Victoria does such an amazing job.
I know this isn't very much relevant but the lady's voice sounded so refined I could hear her talking all day
Her husband too
Yes, her voice is like honey
Victoria: BAP!
Max: Wut?
Me: Wooowww!
Victoria: RRRRRAAAAKAKAKAKA
Me: Is she insane or is she a genius? I have no idea.
Im confused more than the dog she trains xd.
I actually imagined the Anime Wow sound effect after the Bap when one of the owners said Wow in the background. I needed some minutes to calm down. XD
Ahhh getting Harry Potter vibes😂
She is genius. Superhero
Wondering the same, 😅😅 she is genius
I have german sheppered cross who has OCD it started with an obsessive chase of the tail then the obsessive chase of shadows
Ive been working at it very hard and thank god hes so much better
Shoshana Bodner he’s not hes I need to fine you the cost is lifetime in jail or to subscribe to me
Grammer Police UMMMMMMM..... it’s “grammar”, not “grammer”
@@wendys9836 For the grammar police, your punctuation needs some work.
When they zoom in on his face he looks like a Doberman in a wig 😂
You mean a Great Dane in a wig ;)
🤣🤣🤣
@@samanthaquinlan4126 OMG he does! 🤣 I can't unsee it now
Didn’t see it, now I do & I can’t unsee it🤣🤣
i saw it to :)
I love this woman!! It amazes me how small things can make such a huge difference in the dogs behavior. I’ve used her techniques with my own dogs and they work, and they work quickly. Almost instantaneously. She’s a dog whisperer for sure. The noise aversion is a brilliant solution.
It's really refreshing seeing an episode where the owners aren't just idiots that mishandled their dog but really responsible dog owners who want to help their dog...
i love the montage of victoria driving her car in the beginning. WHAT A QUEEN
I’m 37 and saw that and realized I FINALLY know what I want to be when. A badass like Victoria.
One of my favorite episodes. Max was a fascinating subject and a neat looking pup. The bit where he zoned out on his shadow with the tail wagging was so freaking cute.
i love victoria's hair. her ponytails always look fabulous
Maybe. But Victoria's hair is no match for Max's hair! 😆
MY GOODNESS?! I am astounded I had no clue *_HOW_* Ms.Victoria was going to deal with this! Yet, she--once again--handled it so easily!
I think Max is my favorite dog so far! He is beautiful and such a sweetie, I'm so glad that he's getting the help he needs to live his happiest life. Also, both Max's and Ms. Victoria's hair are on point!
This episode has such posh vibes. Loving it!
That dog's hair looks better than mine...how depressing
Have you tried chasing some light reflections?
@@Silver0Crow honestly yeah, when I was younger
He got the jams
This is one of the best episodes. I love how they show solutions. One of my dogs has OCD and the other is perfect in every way except she is obsessed with barking at passers by. It was so bad that she had to retire from being a service dog.
"he is a light chaser". Dang! Why does that sound like a line from a movie?
I'm going to credit you in the novel I'm writing based on this comment
AB94 yeah how is it going? Would honestly love to read it !!
Why does Victoria weirdly remind of the girl in despicable me, lucy
Edit: is it okay to talk about the minions or am I considered a cyber bully? Halp me pls
YES
Honesty
hfiahsoshsjsheuen ehwiwhwidhwje omg 😂🤣 yes dude
Lmaoooooooo watch out for the jake pauler minion stans ;p
w-why would you be a cyber bully for that 😂😂💀
Victoria is seriously the coolest person ever!!! 🤩
The dog needs a job.l believe he is bored also.
Yes I agree they need to take him to a children hospital during the weekends for a few hours . and to a lake let him swim
Yes he seems so sweet :) he could be a visit dog for elders, they'd probably love to talk about his fur or something
Yes his face is soo cute! And he doesn't seem aggressive or bark a lot! If I was in the hospital it'd brighten my day to see him!
I could be remembering wrong, but I think Max was a retired military dog. He spent a lot of time in a room with a lot of mirrors on the wall, and his reflection obsession likely stemmed from that.
@@dontpugme yeah, you're right!
They didn't notice it but their dog is a narcissist. He’s kissing himself in his reflection 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol but frfr he's a very pretty dog 😍😍
Yeah, who would honestly blame him for kissing his own reflection? 😄
I know you're just joking, but narcessism is actually QUITE different to that.
I would kiss my own reflection of I looked like Max ngl 😂😂
I think Max is absolutely hilarious😂 His quirks are so goofy, you just have to love him!
⚠️ *Seizure warning* ⚠️
Skip 10:53-11:26
thankyou!
Gray’s sorta blue thank you so much!
😂😂😂😂😂
That's amazing he was able to be 'cured' of his OCD. Better quality of life for everyone.
A radio dj dedicating songs to his dog is everything ❤️
Such a refreshing episode/couple compared to the owners in other episodes. Genuinely nice, decent people and an interesting case. Plus, the hubby was hilarious and sweet when he flailed his arms to call over Max 😆
Omg this dog’s haircut is everything!
omg! I've watched all these episodes and this is the first one that can actually help me with my dog. Yes, my dog is exactly like Max--OCD and OBSESSED with lights and shadows!
OCD isn't an adjective. It's a disorder. But I’m glad that this is helping you to help your dog.
But the real question is:
Is your dog's hair also this fabulous? 🙃
I love how the dog has a little hairdo at the top. My dog has the same thing and he even looks like the dog in the video. Except he's smaller and a different breed.
Cocker spaniel??
@@fayHoran Cocker spaniel and a poodle. He looks much more like a Coker spanie though. You were super close.
Tell him he’s a good boy for me.
@@SLASHEROWL I will.
Springers also have them😍
Max is so beautiful just a stunning breed the owners are so sweet and very pleasant to watch Max is a lucky dog to have such awesome owners Victoria is just amazing
Max is such a beautiful, intelligent, good boy! I wish him and his owners all the best!!
we had a rescue dog that had ocd too and acted a lot like max. she wasn't obsessed with like, but she would frequently pace around rooms and dig at corners or spots in the floor. she was so sweet and we dont know what she was obsessed with, but being a border collie, she had a lot of energy and would go all day without any attention to food or to us.
