Exactly! I was afraid LaToya was gonna loose a finger. It takes more than one day to change behavior-- especially with a food-aggressive dog. You go s l o w l y ...
@@Dagian_Jade That's the thing ppl don't understand about dogs in general, it's a slow, steady, and CONSISTENT process. Owners train at their dog for a day every other week (or less) and then are so shocked when they don't see change or the dog acting how you want.
@@Noadvantage246 That's not only dogs, that's human too :D When we change behavior it takes us *quite some time* to actually get over the old behavior.
@@elaborat6421 The problem is that she risked getting bitten. If one is not sure how a dog will react to being touched, one should never touch that dog until they can be sure. Or, in the case of training, do so very carefully, but not before the dog is ready.
It's okay to change things up slightly on other things.. but NEVER anything to do with aggression. Always listen to the expert completely at that point.
Owners who actually try and listen to her, even if there was some hiccups during the process of the owner touching before ready, they still seem to care about their dog and want to help him.
Rainbow Finchers i could definitely see where it would be an impulse to pet him. Even though you KNOW you shouldn’t, it’s like “yay! Good boy!!! I love you now I’ll pet you!”, but overall they did a great job with him. I’d be tempted to pet mine too if I were in the same situation.
Yeah but what would happened if he bit her when she was puting the food in the bowl with her hand? They wouldn't love him that much anymore, and maybe they would put him down. If you call Victoria, then freaking listen to her
There's another video clip of this couple not listening to Victoria; the dog is bitey and jumps on people, Victoria tells them to stop rough-playing with the dog and the women doesn't stop because she "knows her dog better than Victoria" and then the guy is teaching the dog tricks, which is good, but them he teaches the dog to jump up which is what they were trying to stop in the first place 🤦♀️
Mrs Rocket she’s not a real trainer, she’s actually getting sued by multiple people because she had people’s dogs put down, so I wouldn’t say we need mote people like this
@@youngcracker8585 People are always suing for this or that.. Even businesses sue each other. Just saying someone's suing her doesn't mean she's not a real trainer.
EXACTLY I'm an 11 year old with a brand new yorkie and I am the only one in the family who is willing to do work with the dog. I have to train the dog and if he has accidents then its apparently my fault. He was snapping at my little brother and my parents said that they were going to have to bring him to the pound, get him a muzzle, etc, because he was a bad and aggressive dog. I knew the actual reason (My brother hits, kicks, pushes him off of stuff, and takes away his food while he's eating, and since the dog was from a farm where he was going to get taken to a puppy mill once he was a year old, and was obviously abused there, he's scared of my brother.), but when I tried to tell my parents, they wouldn't listen. I am the only one to actually do research but they're still convinced they know everything about dogs. I've made plenty of progress with the training, but it's just gone unnoticed. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Amelia If you’re 11, you’re very intelligent and responsible for figuring this out and doing it properly-but you shouldn’t have to be. Your family should support you. I wish you and your dog the best of luck!
@@baydiac I agree but family think " you wanted a dog. It's your dog. You need to take his FULL responsible. But still we know everything about dog " 🤷♀️
my dog is a puppy he started running away with his food when i got him i honestly just caught him and pet him anyway now he doesn't run away and hide it he just runs to look at me before eating if i sit he tries to lick my face but i dont allow that because i feed him raw and i dont want that on my face
Sara Nightfire I worked at a boarding / daycare facility where I met an amazing Pyrenees mix, but was thoroughly warned to put his food in his bowl and bounce. I’ve met dogs that ferociously guard their kennels when they board...people either need to be aware and warn others of the behavior or work with their dog instead of giving them away when things get difficult.
I trained my dog straight away when he was a puppy, not to worry about his food. I would take his bowl away, to add something. I would put my hand in his bowl & I would pet him once in a while, while he was eating. Today he is all relaxed about his food. When I stand near him, he comes up to me, to boop his nose on my leg, like he is saying thank you. Even after his meal, he comes up to me to say thank you. Of course I leave him alone when he eats, but if I would put my hand in his bowl, he would just look at me and wait, until he'd able to continue.
+whitexchina-Well, all dogs to a certain extent can be very territorial and possessive around food. It's normal. It's similar to how little kids refuse to share their goodies. But with dogs, in the wild, whatever they caught is what they were allowed to eat because it is theirs. No one else in the pack is allowed the food because they didn't catch it, so back off and get your own food. That instinct is still there with dogs. You can get a lot of them to learn to share a food bowl with other dogs. Others you have to separate and feed from their own bowls, and that's okay. I have one sister that feeds her dogs from her own bowls, another that keeps a big meal bowl for everyone. But dogs can be just as particular and territorial even if you give them treats. Don't try to put her hand out near the treat while they're eating it because they will naturally think you're trying to steal and get angry at you. Even with treats, it depends on the dog whether they can be stroked while they eat. Truth is, you don't need to. You are doing it just because they're so gosh darn cute. But they believe sometimes you're "buttering them up" to take away their food. So mealtimes should be recommended to just leave them be while they're eating. You wouldn't like someone to walk up and start stroking you while you're eating after all. It's weird and uncomfortable. And after they're done, you can cuddle and play with them as much as you want. Food is serious business around kids and dogs.
@@feraflauna3238 Ok, the part about "what you catch is what you eat" isn't actually true. Wolves run in packs. they hunt in packs. So all of them would catch a meal together. The alpha would get the best part but nobody would be left to go hungry when it comes to wolves as they hunted for everyone.
Fera Flauna the only thing I’d say about this is that food guarding is a bad bad habit to ignore. Yes, In general you should leave your dogs to eat unbothered but should you ever need to take something from them for their own health, it shouldn’t be a question of am I going to lose my hand doing this? That would be the only reason id try to get my dog used to me being around while they’re eating.
If you adopt an adult dog sometimes you have to undo bad habits. The biggest reason food aggression is bad is that if you dog is eating something it shouldn't you need to be able to get it off them without out getting bit.
Fera Flauna There are a handful of reasons to not ignore food aggression, though. 1) Little kids who while you can try to teach not to mess with the dogs food, you might not be able to fully control 2) if you ever get another dog. Again, yes, you should also teach any new dog or puppy to leave the other alone and not try to steal food, but you can’t control it and 3) if you ever need to take something away from them. My rescue is pretty chill with his food in his bowl and even his treats, anything that comes from me or my partner basically. But he gets super possession (not exactly aggressive) over stuff he finds on the ground...like trash bread the native critters left behind. He won’t drop it even for a high value treat reward and I’ve had to sometimes, in the safest way I can manage, shove my whole hand in his mouth to get it. Something I am mostly comfortable with because I did it with family dogs I had since puppies that were used to it from puppyhood, and have actively worked from day one since we rescued him to desensitize him to me touching various parts of his body and having my hand in or around his mouth. My partner however isn’t comfortable with it and my dog isn’t going to let anyone nicely take it from him. So it’s an issue I feel like I’d like to work on, especially because my partner has young nieces and nephew. I can’t always control what is happening with my dog and the interactions he’s having with others, so I rather be on top of stuff.
I remember an episode with Cesar where a dog had a similar problem. I feel like Victoria offers a much better way to solve it! Much more peaceful and smarter too. Really prefer Victoria's techniques
@Nogs Galogs If it's the dog I'm thinking of he pretty much shoved his hand in the dog bowl repeatedly and tried to be the "Alpha" dog, as he usually does. The end result was him getting bitten pretty bad.
Sapphic Paladins I hate that people support his alpha-being-theory 🤦🏽♀️ Positive reinforcement works way better if you still want to have a positive and strong relationship with your puppy. I would not like my dog to listen to me because he is scared of my actions and rather listen to me because he wants to please me and enjoys me as a companion.
@@j.j1999 Victoria has early videos of her implementing a less invasive alpha hierarchy method and she actually made a video recently revisiting it and explaining why its a negative idea and should he stopped or corrected
My dog is the opposite of a food guarder. He lets the cat come and take his food. I have to put the cat up to feed him, haha! He's a 65 lb dog being pushed around by a cat. ETA: I don't let my cat eat the dog's food, but he would if I didn't put him up.
Aina my dog is the same way! He doesn’t even wanna walk by the cats if they’re in his way. He’s so gentle with them I gotta protect him from the cats lol
Cats scratch and bite and instigate and don't get scolded for it. I'm sure if your dog ran over and smacked the cats with his paws or randomly bit it in the face that he'd get hell to pay...
LOL yes my dog is the same way too xD he's a 90 lb German Shepherd and lets my little cats push him around. He loves them and would never hurt them on purpose, but the feeling is not always mutual :'D i taught him to back off if the cats hiss or raise their paw at him, because before he was just so happy to see them that he didn't care if they scratched him or not! Still wouldn't hurt them, but would just stand there with his big ol nose in their faces and get all scratched up :c things are much more harmonious now that he respects their boundaries and they know he won't hurt them c:
Not necessarily. All kinds of things can cause food aggression. My current dog started food guarding after becoming ill at 12 weeks old with a condition called IBD. No matter how much I fed her, she was under weight and frantic about food. Here was this puppy that was so hungry, that at 5 months old, she would try to attack me if I even came near the room she was eating in. It was so sad, because otherwise, she was a sweet and loving pup. Thankfully I found a good trainer that helped guide me through how to manage her food anxiety (similar technique to Victorias) and now I have no problems with her outside of certain situations (like food around other dogs). It will probably be a lifelong thing I need to stay on top of, but when I look at how far she's come, I think we've done really well.
@@Melly.K11 story like my dog. He is fine with me and my mum. I could pull his bowl away while he is eating and he would was his tail and and tried to lick me. But non of the cats could go near, he would growl at them and threaten to bite them.
I agree! I never understand when ppl just straight up ignore what she said. She tells you what to do & not do for a reason! With this specific family I am not really upset because they are at least they're trying & for the most part do what their pup needs. 😀
@@sweett5896 The only thing that really annoyed me is how the woman acted like the guy is nitpicking.. When it comes to aggressive things, you *need* to nitpick.. you need to get every detail right or you risk being bit suddenly. Like Victoria said, *luckily* the dog didn't show any aggression.. but it easily could have, which would reset any of the training done.
Nema qasim They were excited to help their dog and was impatient... idk where all make up these conclusions about the owners who just want to help and is impatient. Some owners are bad, but most are good.
I don't get why you'd bring in an expert and then not follow everything they say to the letter. The guy was more interested in really doing exactly what he was told whereas the woman just seemed to push her luck.
Wilson Combatgirl if she would’ve pet him and he bit her that’d set them both back to before Victoria came. Don’t push your luck when there’s a chance to lose a finger
Wilson Combatgirl she didn’t do anything egregious? You sure about that. She was told not to stroke her dog while feeding him, which she failed to follow. And this is due the fact that he has attempted to bite her several times in the past when she did that. She’s lucky that it ended well.
It had a hint of stubborness. I'll invent my method. It may have started as a mistake, but her boyfriend clearly and calmly reminded her. Then she doubled down and chose to ignore/dismiss him (a case of "Don't tell me what to do") Maybe they have that dynamic going on more often. Either way _that_ was a little childish. - else they were good pet owners trying to fix the problem
*He's a smart dog though... you see how he's looking up at them after they just put a tiny bit in his bowl lol! He's like "really ppl, this is all I get?!" Lol!*
My dog's the opposite. She likes to take some food from her bowl, walk over to where we're sitting, drop it all over the floor, stare at us, then walk back over to her bowl and do it again. She moves her food closer to us lol. She also likes to eat while she's being watched. She's like the parent that insists we eat together.
Lmao 😂 my lab just gobbled it up in one breath, and then goes looking around the kitchen for more, she's even put her head in the washing machine a few times 😂 😂
@@tabby2957 yeah, most of the time I check that it's empty but I think there might have been something edible on it the first time so now she checks just in case!
Also a major difference between them and other couples: despite the stress of the situation (being on TV, having a dog who has a bad habit) you can tell this couple is on the same team with each other. they get stressed but they are working/talking through their disagreement. I think the wife did the wrong thing by hand feeding but I totally see why she would want to do that, and have that emotional connection and gratification from the dog she loves, even if it is too soon due to the way dogs need to learn really slowly.
My dog had this issue and I fixed it! There is a lot of bad advice out there around food/feeding based in alpha nonsense which I'm glad I never tried because this kind of positive training is what actually works and builds trust. Nearly 5 years later and my dog doesn't mind if anyone walks by or even accidentally bumps into him while he eats. We also taught leave it, drop it and to trade up for a better treat when he does manage to get his moth on a high value item he shouldn't have. In the rare event we do have to just take something away in an emergency without a trade, we can. I try not to have to though because I want to be associated with giving good things, not taking them. As a rule we don't pet him when he eats. I had it explained to me, would you like your husband to caress your cheek while you ate steak? Probably not. Same with dogs. Just let them eat. All you need to be able to do is walk by when they have food. Letting your dog see you nonnchalantly dropping high value treats to the bowl helps a lot too.
Agreed. Most people prefer full episodes. But they’re purposely clipping them down...because short, 10-15min videos bring in a LOT more YT money It’s always about the 💰
There is indeed a copyright issue with the American shows in particular. They can show the (older) British shows in their entirety, but they cannot show the full American shows.
I've found that putting the food in a ball and having him play while eating works best. My dog is also super fussy about eating out of a bowl, no matter what kinda bowl it is. Only time he eats is when he's excited that guests are over or after a long walk.
My doggo has a thing with my partnets stinky socks 😂😂 he always sneaks them , even from the bins. Never steals food, doesn't seem to care about our food at all. I guess, he has a stinky foot fetish 😂
Be careful! Take it slow and don't get too close to the dog when you first start. If you do this wrong the problem could get worse and you could get bitten. A behaviorist can help you determine if your dog is still feeling conflicted about you being close to their food or if the training is actually working. I hope you'll be successful with this :)
Amazon and Chewys has a bunch of different puzzle toys. Big box and local pet stores usually have puzzle toys, though not always the same style as these. I think those might both be Nina ottoson dog puzzle, though I could be wrong.
You can also look in to a wobble Kong toy. I've been feeding my border collie 75% of his meals since he was a puppy with it and he loves it. He has to work for his food so it's a good brain exercise and multiple times he's even been able to unscrew the whole thing.
I would encourage all dog owners to practice this, even when the dogs are super young and show no signs of aggression. If you just put the food down and walk away, dogs can easily learn that the room is their zone and they may feel like they need to protect the food they have. They need to get used to you around their food. I still feed my older dog in another room, but that's just to be precautionary. I think it's really easy for dogs to develop this type of aggression, especially ones that are super food-oriented which are most of them. Something that's worked for me is with my young puppy (he's 8 months but I started teaching him everyday when he was a month and a half), is to have him sit and look at me before meals. He came from a woman who had him eat out of a trough with many other puppies, so this was a bit challenging at first. I have him sit down behind the bowl, and I take my finger and point it to my eyes. I have the dogs stare at me until I release him. If he goes towards the food early, I have him sit back down and try again (he is perfect at it now). He gives me full eye contact. When I release him (i say "go ahead" and take the finger off of my eye) he is able to eat his food. Once he is eating his food which he does very quickly even with his slow feeder bowl, occasionally I will have a tasty vitamin or a treat in my hand, and I will put it in my bowl, making my dog notice that I put the treat in his bowl. When he was super young i did this everytime he ate. Just sticking my hand on the bowl, my fingers near his mouth, moving his food around. I want him to know that i can be anywhere when he is eating. Almost like it's my food too. And when I come near him, he knows that sometimes I'm CONTRIBUTING to his food. He knows that I am not a threat, gets used to me, and knows that I'm in charge. I GIVE him his food. This is extremely important and isn't talked about enough.
Victoria is the best!! I really wish she could take her show to the U.S. there are so many dogs that NEED her help!! She deserves to grow her business and help dogs all over the world
I would really love to see this channel talk about how physically punishing dogs is ineffective and damaging. There are SO many uneducated and young people online who, for some reason, think that hitting/booping/tapping/pushing/kicking...etc their animals in any way is acceptable and helps train their behavior and "teaches them never to do it again". I certainly don't believe in laying a hand on an animal when it comes to discipline at all but I struggle every time I see someone hitting their dog/animal in a video and the comments are filled with people accepting it as okay.
There are a lot of episodes/clips where Victoria addresses aggressive/dominating behavior in the owners, often centered around 'that isn't teaching them to stop doing something, it's teaching them to fear you and not want to be around you' and such. If I remember correctly a few do involve actual physical punishment, but I agree it would be nice to see that addressed more directly.
i had a dog that guarded his food but the difference is that his previous owners had starved him. he was so skinny when he first got him but he got very healthy!
I'm excited to try this with my coonhound. He chose me as the provider and guards his food from anyone that isn't me and used to even try and make me watch while he ate. He's sassy to say the least
I’m glad my dogs aren’t like this. I have 2 German shepherds and they don’t eat when I pet them. When I serve their food, if I pet them, they’ll wait until I’m done to eat. No aggression, no growling or barking teeth. They just calmly wait until I’m done to eat.
I love watching Victoria work with these “problem” dogs. One thing I’ve NEVER had before is a food aggressive dog. In our house even as kids we always taught them as pups to be ok with us being around their food. My stepmom has a dog that is SUPER food aggressive even with his treats (he is an older chi weenie) I told her that it’s terrible behavior especially with my toddlers being around him and she acted as if it were normal! She told me she’s never had a dog that wasn’t food aggressive 🤯 I told her that I have never had one that was. It’s so weird how one person’s expectations for a pet are different from others. Some of these people, to me, seem to never of had a dog before in their life. Victoria does amazing work with these dogs it is unreal
I love this! My friend used this method Victoria is using for food aggression and it worked amazingly! I really wish that she would come here (to the US, specific where I live lol) so we can hire her to help us teach my huskies to walk on a leash right (we’ve tried. We’ve tried her methods too. I think we’re doing it wrong but idk). ☺️☺️
Get a gentle lead for the leash. It goes around the snout and basically makes it so where if they walk ahead it pulls their head down and prevents them from walking in front of you. It’s a great tool.
As a dog lover, dog owner, groomer, & daycare attendant I has advised my boyfriend to help his senior dog with his food aggression. I send him videos, and he never works with him through it. I’ve tried to help his dog out, but I don’t live with him, and he’s also not my dog. I can’t be there everyday. I’m just hoping that by sending this one, he’ll actually try to help him. :(
Awesome video. Different method than I normally use but I think that it is awesome. Love adding to my knowledge. Not every method works with every dog. So the more methods you know the more chances you have to resolve an issue.
In my opinion, I feel like the dog previously put up with people/other dogs taking away his food which is why he peed on the floor - not in a bad manner sort of way but to mark territory to indirectly say "This is mine and only mine"
I was so afraid of my puppy growing up to be food aggressive. I followed Cesar Milan’s tips and exercises to prevent this and now my dog does fine. I feel like this is one of the most important things to teach a puppy. It can be very dangerous especially if there are children and babies in the home.
I remember this couple and their dog. I really hated how Latoya kept interfering and breaking Victoria's clear instructions! She kept being rude in the interview, but when Victoria was present, she was a chicken. I wish Damien was more stern when telling her to NOT break any of the training rules Victoria had implemented. I really wished and would've loved to see Victoria lecture and snap off at Letoya's irresponsibility and carelessness. I bet Latoya only has a dog for personal pleasures (like petting him and playing with him whenever she feels like it. Being possessive sometimes as well as if she was the boss) and she really doesn't care about him.
My maternal uncle had an alcesian dog and he use to get aggressive when I would pet him while he was eating. This video connects every dots I had in mind 20 years ago. Great job
Victoria is SO good at these things, and I just love her tips. I'm binge-watching these videos rn as I'm getting a dog of my own soon. I don't wanna make the same mistakes as some of these people do.
Sometimes i would like that my dog guards her food a bit more. It is good that she isn't aggressive with humans touching her food but the cats eat all of her food and she does nothing so I end up guarding it😂😂
My dog used to do this with food and toys. We taught her how to wait. We removed food and toys when she growled and told her no. Took time but she now doesn't growl at all and I can take food out of her bowl or do anything with her toys and she will just wait for me to give it her back.
We have a dog like this. We worked on his resource guarding from the start - he wouldn't even let another person be in the room while he ate - he would growl at them or lunge until they were out of sight.Over a year we got him accustomed to waiting for food, eating patiently etc. Yet after a few months, he got in a dog fight and had his stress level go through the roof and bit us in a completely bizarre incident around people eating dinner. Dogs who are anxious need life long training and care - we have gone back to the basics with hand feeding and separating our anxious dog from us around food. This is just to say - if you have an anxious/reactive dog, don't stop their training around resource guarding completely ever because any high stress incident throws them over threshold and they respond without being able to control them no matter how long you may have trained. Hang in there - it only gets better.
My dog was kinda abused or just hurt by their old owners it is has been 2,1 years and she is still kinda scared of us and is scared when we try to stroke her but has been just a little comtrabele
That's my husband all over again. We hired a trainer a few days ago, but suddenly he knows better than the trainer. He wants to buy an E-collar and zap the dog into compliance so he doesn't have to get up off his butt and deal with her. Not happening.
My dog growing up did the same, but she actually lunged- she was an emaciated stray in an roving pack before we got her, so I don't blame her. We hand fed her for a week for every meal, then changed to placing kibble in the bowl, then pouring the full bowl with keeping our hand in the bowl, while twirling our hand in it as she ate. After 3 weeks, no issues.
My dog is like this, only at dinner time when there is tinned meat. When there is dry food she lets me go near her and i can put food in the bowl without her growling. She got so protective and followed me into the other room while growling. Shes now 3, and I’ve only had her 2 weeks! It’s now now spooking me, but I can tell the old owners beat her after because she whimpers towards me after shes eaten. :(
This isn't true. Dogs don't pee.on their food to mark it. Or else they'd easily get sick, that's not a good idea. He's probably freaking out about people being near his bowl.
I’m a healthcare worker....CoV is a cold virus. It’s all a scam to keep us indoors, divided from each other and to tank the economy. Please research before getting bill Gates event 201 fascist tattoo.
An example of why Victoria is a MUCH MUCH better trainer than....well you know who! We’ve prob all seen the video....he would’ve pushed and pushed this dog until it was either too fearful to do anything, or until the dog bit him just like in the video. I love Victoria’s methods a lot more.
exactly! and no one got bitten :'D amazing how if you don't bully a dog into "submission", you can keep them under threshold so they don't feel like they need to bite to get their point across. Victoria is awesome
Lol he would have sat there and claimed the bowl until the dog moved away on his own without any violence or being bit. He does this quickly in many episodes with food guarding... Sounds like you don’t even watch Cesar...
She is SO RIGHT about having to go very slowly with behavior modification of this kind. That silly young girl was pushing it. She was thinking of herSELF, not what the dog needed. She could have been injured.I'm glad Victoria set her straight.
I love how the hubby is the one like “ uhhh we ain’t supposed to do that “
Exactly! I was afraid LaToya was gonna loose a finger. It takes more than one day to change behavior-- especially with a food-aggressive dog. You go s l o w l y ...
@@Dagian_Jade That's the thing ppl don't understand about dogs in general, it's a slow, steady, and CONSISTENT process. Owners train at their dog for a day every other week (or less) and then are so shocked when they don't see change or the dog acting how you want.

@@elaborat6421 The problem is that she risked getting bitten. If one is not sure how a dog will react to being touched, one should never touch that dog until they can be sure. Or, in the case of training, do so very carefully, but not before the dog is ready.
I’m with Damien. Do everything the way the expert says if you had to call an expert in for help.
It's okay to change things up slightly on other things.. but NEVER anything to do with aggression. Always listen to the expert completely at that point.
Unless the expert wants to use methods such as choke/shock collars or anything that can cause harm
Jennifer Brown does Victoria do that? I was pretty much talking about this situation.
But if u bring a dog to pet to hug i cant resistt to not to
Lol! Hilarious comment!
Owners who actually try and listen to her, even if there was some hiccups during the process of the owner touching before ready, they still seem to care about their dog and want to help him.

Yeah but what would happened if he bit her when she was puting the food in the bowl with her hand? They wouldn't love him that much anymore, and maybe they would put him down. If you call Victoria, then freaking listen to her
They asked for help means they really care 🥰
There's another video clip of this couple not listening to Victoria; the dog is bitey and jumps on people, Victoria tells them to stop rough-playing with the dog and the women doesn't stop because she "knows her dog better than Victoria" and then the guy is teaching the dog tricks, which is good, but them he teaches the dog to jump up which is what they were trying to stop in the first place 🤦♀️

I knew the actual reason (My brother hits, kicks, pushes him off of stuff, and takes away his food while he's eating, and since the dog was from a farm where he was going to get taken to a puppy mill once he was a year old, and was obviously abused there, he's scared of my brother.), but when I tried to tell my parents, they wouldn't listen. I am the only one to actually do research but they're still convinced they know everything about dogs. I've made plenty of progress with the training, but it's just gone unnoticed. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Amelia If you’re 11, you’re very intelligent and responsible for figuring this out and doing it properly-but you shouldn’t have to be. Your family should support you. I wish you and your dog the best of luck!
ಠ︵ಠ yes . They destroy all our work.
@@baydiac I agree but family think " you wanted a dog. It's your dog. You need to take his FULL responsible. But still we know everything about dog " 🤷♀️
Can you teach my dog to do the dishes? He’s not pulling his weight around the house
WHAT?! DO IT YOURSELF DONT GET A DOG FOR IT DOING THE DISHES LOL
The DoggyPlayz wooooosh
Hopefully he is at least keeping that pesky mail-man away and makes sure nobody steals the trash from the bins outside
Morisith He actually has been keeping the mailman away, haven’t got a single bill since I got him.
My sister when mom wasn't looking would let the pup lick the plates when it was her turn to do the dishes.
I love this, willing to learn instead of giving up or ignoring it until it’s a huge problem and then giving him away to end up in a shelter 😪
my dog is a puppy he started running away with his food when i got him i honestly just caught him and pet him anyway now he doesn't run away and hide it he just runs to look at me before eating if i sit he tries to lick my face but i dont allow that because i feed him raw and i dont want that on my face
I've known "professional" dog trainers telling people to wait it out and it'll go away by itself 🤦🏻♀️ and there were kids involved too
Sara Nightfire I worked at a boarding / daycare facility where I met an amazing Pyrenees mix, but was thoroughly warned to put his food in his bowl and bounce. I’ve met dogs that ferociously guard their kennels when they board...people either need to be aware and warn others of the behavior or work with their dog instead of giving them away when things get difficult.
Shelter dogs with food aggression are less likely to get adopted.
@@SaraNightfire1 How do you accidentally put your hand in a dog's food bowl while they are eating LOL.
I trained my dog straight away when he was a puppy, not to worry about his food.
I would take his bowl away, to add something. I would put my hand in his bowl & I would pet him once in a while, while he was eating.
Today he is all relaxed about his food.
When I stand near him, he comes up to me, to boop his nose on my leg,
like he is saying thank you.
Even after his meal, he comes up to me to say thank you.
Of course I leave him alone when he eats, but if I would put my hand in his bowl, he would just look at me and wait,
until he'd able to continue.
+whitexchina-Well, all dogs to a certain extent can be very territorial and possessive around food. It's normal. It's similar to how little kids refuse to share their goodies. But with dogs, in the wild, whatever they caught is what they were allowed to eat because it is theirs. No one else in the pack is allowed the food because they didn't catch it, so back off and get your own food.
That instinct is still there with dogs. You can get a lot of them to learn to share a food bowl with other dogs. Others you have to separate and feed from their own bowls, and that's okay. I have one sister that feeds her dogs from her own bowls, another that keeps a big meal bowl for everyone. But dogs can be just as particular and territorial even if you give them treats. Don't try to put her hand out near the treat while they're eating it because they will naturally think you're trying to steal and get angry at you.
Even with treats, it depends on the dog whether they can be stroked while they eat. Truth is, you don't need to. You are doing it just because they're so gosh darn cute. But they believe sometimes you're "buttering them up" to take away their food. So mealtimes should be recommended to just leave them be while they're eating. You wouldn't like someone to walk up and start stroking you while you're eating after all. It's weird and uncomfortable. And after they're done, you can cuddle and play with them as much as you want. Food is serious business around kids and dogs.
@@feraflauna3238 Ok, the part about "what you catch is what you eat" isn't actually true. Wolves run in packs. they hunt in packs. So all of them would catch a meal together. The alpha would get the best part but nobody would be left to go hungry when it comes to wolves as they hunted for everyone.
Fera Flauna the only thing I’d say about this is that food guarding is a bad bad habit to ignore. Yes, In general you should leave your dogs to eat unbothered but should you ever need to take something from them for their own health, it shouldn’t be a question of am I going to lose my hand doing this? That would be the only reason id try to get my dog used to me being around while they’re eating.
If you adopt an adult dog sometimes you have to undo bad habits. The biggest reason food aggression is bad is that if you dog is eating something it shouldn't you need to be able to get it off them without out getting bit.
Fera Flauna There are a handful of reasons to not ignore food aggression, though. 1) Little kids who while you can try to teach not to mess with the dogs food, you might not be able to fully control 2) if you ever get another dog. Again, yes, you should also teach any new dog or puppy to leave the other alone and not try to steal food, but you can’t control it and 3) if you ever need to take something away from them.
My rescue is pretty chill with his food in his bowl and even his treats, anything that comes from me or my partner basically. But he gets super possession (not exactly aggressive) over stuff he finds on the ground...like trash bread the native critters left behind. He won’t drop it even for a high value treat reward and I’ve had to sometimes, in the safest way I can manage, shove my whole hand in his mouth to get it. Something I am mostly comfortable with because I did it with family dogs I had since puppies that were used to it from puppyhood, and have actively worked from day one since we rescued him to desensitize him to me touching various parts of his body and having my hand in or around his mouth. My partner however isn’t comfortable with it and my dog isn’t going to let anyone nicely take it from him. So it’s an issue I feel like I’d like to work on, especially because my partner has young nieces and nephew. I can’t always control what is happening with my dog and the interactions he’s having with others, so I rather be on top of stuff.
That's such a cute looking dog, too. Looks like a mix of Beagle and German Shepherd.
He’s so cute lol
True!!
Could be a Foxhound
Their are large breeds of hounds that look like that.
Martie B. That’s what I was thinking I’m like he looks like a shepherd and he looks like a beagle
It always annoys the crap out of me when people don't listen to Victoria. She's there for a reason!!!!!
*The dog pees*
Me: waiting for them to clean it
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Ewwwww
I remember an episode with Cesar where a dog had a similar problem. I feel like Victoria offers a much better way to solve it! Much more peaceful and smarter too. Really prefer Victoria's techniques
I agree
@Nogs Galogs If it's the dog I'm thinking of he pretty much shoved his hand in the dog bowl repeatedly and tried to be the "Alpha" dog, as he usually does. The end result was him getting bitten pretty bad.
Sapphic Paladins I hate that people support his alpha-being-theory 🤦🏽♀️ Positive reinforcement works way better if you still want to have a positive and strong relationship with your puppy. I would not like my dog to listen to me because he is scared of my actions and rather listen to me because he wants to please me and enjoys me as a companion.
@@j.j1999 That mindset is the reason my pup has issues, especially with men. It's a tough thing to work a dog out of.
@@j.j1999 Victoria has early videos of her implementing a less invasive alpha hierarchy method and she actually made a video recently revisiting it and explaining why its a negative idea and should he stopped or corrected
My dog is the opposite of a food guarder. He lets the cat come and take his food. I have to put the cat up to feed him, haha! He's a 65 lb dog being pushed around by a cat.
ETA: I don't let my cat eat the dog's food, but he would if I didn't put him up.
Aina my dog is the same way! He doesn’t even wanna walk by the cats if they’re in his way. He’s so gentle with them I gotta protect him from the cats lol
Cats scratch and bite and instigate and don't get scolded for it. I'm sure if your dog ran over and smacked the cats with his paws or randomly bit it in the face that he'd get hell to pay...
LOL yes my dog is the same way too xD he's a 90 lb German Shepherd and lets my little cats push him around. He loves them and would never hurt them on purpose, but the feeling is not always mutual :'D i taught him to back off if the cats hiss or raise their paw at him, because before he was just so happy to see them that he didn't care if they scratched him or not! Still wouldn't hurt them, but would just stand there with his big ol nose in their faces and get all scratched up :c things are much more harmonious now that he respects their boundaries and they know he won't hurt them c:
@@sweetteahyung6351 My daughter`s huge German Shepherd was pushed around by a 28lb dachshund!!
Well my dog is not aggrasive but goes and takes food from the cats
Absolute clear example of a dog who's had a past where he had to fight for his food. Maybe he came from a puppy mill or was a stray
Not necessarily. All kinds of things can cause food aggression. My current dog started food guarding after becoming ill at 12 weeks old with a condition called IBD. No matter how much I fed her, she was under weight and frantic about food. Here was this puppy that was so hungry, that at 5 months old, she would try to attack me if I even came near the room she was eating in. It was so sad, because otherwise, she was a sweet and loving pup. Thankfully I found a good trainer that helped guide me through how to manage her food anxiety (similar technique to Victorias) and now I have no problems with her outside of certain situations (like food around other dogs). It will probably be a lifelong thing I need to stay on top of, but when I look at how far she's come, I think we've done really well.
@@Melly.K11 story like my dog. He is fine with me and my mum. I could pull his bowl away while he is eating and he would was his tail and and tried to lick me. But non of the cats could go near, he would growl at them and threaten to bite them.
@@mentoswatthehell You might want to get that checked out (if you still have him). That could possibly grow to attacking and actual bites.
Denise Sander maybe not
mentoswatthehell that’s common. He accepted ur mum and urself are the leaders but he says is the cat I below me 😂😂😂
Such a sweet puppy, the owners really seem to care Victory looks great in leather.
Gunner the rottweiler Poor cow/other animal though...
@@victoriasalter1701 what other animal
Victoria* and she does have wicked style
Why do you then even call Victoria for help when you do something she SPECIFICALLY said NOT to do?🤦♀️🙄
I agree! I never understand when ppl just straight up ignore what she said. She tells you what to do & not do for a reason! With this specific family I am not really upset because they are at least they're trying & for the most part do what their pup needs. 😀
@@sweett5896 The only thing that really annoyed me is how the woman acted like the guy is nitpicking.. When it comes to aggressive things, you *need* to nitpick.. you need to get every detail right or you risk being bit suddenly. Like Victoria said, *luckily* the dog didn't show any aggression.. but it easily could have, which would reset any of the training done.
Have you seen a lot of these? Because these people are the LEAST of your annoyance. They just love their dog and were keen
Nema qasim
They were excited to help their dog and was impatient... idk where all make up these conclusions about the owners who just want to help and is impatient. Some owners are bad, but most are good.
@@Eventide215 yep! I agree, he wasn't even being nitpicky. He was just trying to do what Victoria showed them.
I don't get why you'd bring in an expert and then not follow everything they say to the letter. The guy was more interested in really doing exactly what he was told whereas the woman just seemed to push her luck.
Wilson Combatgirl if she would’ve pet him and he bit her that’d set them both back to before Victoria came. Don’t push your luck when there’s a chance to lose a finger
Wilson Combatgirl she didn’t do anything egregious? You sure about that. She was told not to stroke her dog while feeding him, which she failed to follow. And this is due the fact that he has attempted to bite her several times in the past when she did that. She’s lucky that it ended well.
It had a hint of stubborness. I'll invent my method. It may have started as a mistake, but her boyfriend clearly and calmly reminded her. Then she doubled down and chose to ignore/dismiss him (a case of "Don't tell me what to do") Maybe they have that dynamic going on more often. Either way _that_ was a little childish.
- else they were good pet owners trying to fix the problem
A healthy couple who listens to her and actively wants to help their dog. So refreshing lmao.
*He's a smart dog though... you see how he's looking up at them after they just put a tiny bit in his bowl lol! He's like "really ppl, this is all I get?!" Lol!*
My dog's the opposite. She likes to take some food from her bowl, walk over to where we're sitting, drop it all over the floor, stare at us, then walk back over to her bowl and do it again. She moves her food closer to us lol. She also likes to eat while she's being watched. She's like the parent that insists we eat together.
Lmao 😂 my lab just gobbled it up in one breath, and then goes looking around the kitchen for more, she's even put her head in the washing machine a few times 😂 😂
Yo. You could just put the bowl closer to yall so she dont do a big mess. Just wanted to point that out
@@abim1763 are YOU always 110% sure there's no food in the washer? Cause your pup, she is not so sure about that one... 🤔
@@tabby2957 yeah, most of the time I check that it's empty but I think there might have been something edible on it the first time so now she checks just in case!
Mine does that too
Also a major difference between them and other couples: despite the stress of the situation (being on TV, having a dog who has a bad habit) you can tell this couple is on the same team with each other. they get stressed but they are working/talking through their disagreement. I think the wife did the wrong thing by hand feeding but I totally see why she would want to do that, and have that emotional connection and gratification from the dog she loves, even if it is too soon due to the way dogs need to learn really slowly.
We stan Damien for being a good owner
I love how Damien is like uhh we not supposed to do that
This show has made me want to be a dog trainer
Thank you
@@gmccodd3839 stop
Then do just that.
@@manuchulliat thank you
Same here.
“Well, I would say that’s a real food guarder there.”
Never seen myself more in an animal.
My brother tried to mess with my dog when he was eating and I flipped. One negative experience with food could totally screw up a dog.
Victoria: i have never seen this before
also Victoria: *knows how to train him right away*
*15 likes holy jeez us*
Never seen doesn't mean never learnt.
My dog had this issue and I fixed it! There is a lot of bad advice out there around food/feeding based in alpha nonsense which I'm glad I never tried because this kind of positive training is what actually works and builds trust. Nearly 5 years later and my dog doesn't mind if anyone walks by or even accidentally bumps into him while he eats. We also taught leave it, drop it and to trade up for a better treat when he does manage to get his moth on a high value item he shouldn't have. In the rare event we do have to just take something away in an emergency without a trade, we can. I try not to have to though because I want to be associated with giving good things, not taking them.
As a rule we don't pet him when he eats. I had it explained to me, would you like your husband to caress your cheek while you ate steak? Probably not. Same with dogs. Just let them eat. All you need to be able to do is walk by when they have food.
Letting your dog see you nonnchalantly dropping high value treats to the bowl helps a lot too.
Don't know why It was so hard to not listen to Victoria about the touching
When do you upload a new full episode? Those small clips are good but not the same.

Latoya is like a stubborn child. "but I want to do it this way" Always me me me me me.
and than you have my dog: skipping almost every meal, only eats after a long walk
Then you have my dog that tries but my mom watches my dog like a hawk
Then you have my dog that is super fussy about what he eats. And you need to hand feed him abit first to get him motivated to eat out of the bowl
I've found that putting the food in a ball and having him play while eating works best. My dog is also super fussy about eating out of a bowl, no matter what kinda bowl it is. Only time he eats is when he's excited that guests are over or after a long walk.
Then you have my dog if its something new to eat he only wants in on a spoon
My doggo has a thing with my partnets stinky socks 😂😂 he always sneaks them , even from the bins. Never steals food, doesn't seem to care about our food at all.
I guess, he has a stinky foot fetish 😂
These are good owners. They actually care enough to be given advice.
Victoria is like an angel
OMG My dog does this! This is so perfect now I know how to stop this behavior!
Be careful! Take it slow and don't get too close to the dog when you first start. If you do this wrong the problem could get worse and you could get bitten. A behaviorist can help you determine if your dog is still feeling conflicted about you being close to their food or if the training is actually working. I hope you'll be successful with this :)
Impressed by Victoria's behaviour... She do not force her training techniques... She changes the training according to the owner. She remains calm
Victoria is so smart and good with these amazing dogs she is so amazing ❤️
Where do you buy toys like that? I've never seen them before
Amazon and Chewys has a bunch of different puzzle toys. Big box and local pet stores usually have puzzle toys, though not always the same style as these. I think those might both be Nina ottoson dog puzzle, though I could be wrong.
You can also look in to a wobble Kong toy. I've been feeding my border collie 75% of his meals since he was a puppy with it and he loves it. He has to work for his food so it's a good brain exercise and multiple times he's even been able to unscrew the whole thing.
I would encourage all dog owners to practice this, even when the dogs are super young and show no signs of aggression. If you just put the food down and walk away, dogs can easily learn that the room is their zone and they may feel like they need to protect the food they have. They need to get used to you around their food. I still feed my older dog in another room, but that's just to be precautionary. I think it's really easy for dogs to develop this type of aggression, especially ones that are super food-oriented which are most of them.
Something that's worked for me is with my young puppy (he's 8 months but I started teaching him everyday when he was a month and a half), is to have him sit and look at me before meals. He came from a woman who had him eat out of a trough with many other puppies, so this was a bit challenging at first.
I have him sit down behind the bowl, and I take my finger and point it to my eyes. I have the dogs stare at me until I release him. If he goes towards the food early, I have him sit back down and try again (he is perfect at it now). He gives me full eye contact. When I release him (i say "go ahead" and take the finger off of my eye) he is able to eat his food. Once he is eating his food which he does very quickly even with his slow feeder bowl, occasionally I will have a tasty vitamin or a treat in my hand, and I will put it in my bowl, making my dog notice that I put the treat in his bowl. When he was super young i did this everytime he ate. Just sticking my hand on the bowl, my fingers near his mouth, moving his food around. I want him to know that i can be anywhere when he is eating. Almost like it's my food too. And when I come near him, he knows that sometimes I'm CONTRIBUTING to his food. He knows that I am not a threat, gets used to me, and knows that I'm in charge. I GIVE him his food. This is extremely important and isn't talked about enough.
Victoria is the best!! I really wish she could take her show to the U.S. there are so many dogs that NEED her help!! She deserves to grow her business and help dogs all over the world
I would really love to see this channel talk about how physically punishing dogs is ineffective and damaging. There are SO many uneducated and young people online who, for some reason, think that hitting/booping/tapping/pushing/kicking...etc their animals in any way is acceptable and helps train their behavior and "teaches them never to do it again". I certainly don't believe in laying a hand on an animal when it comes to discipline at all but I struggle every time I see someone hitting their dog/animal in a video and the comments are filled with people accepting it as okay.
There are a lot of episodes/clips where Victoria addresses aggressive/dominating behavior in the owners, often centered around 'that isn't teaching them to stop doing something, it's teaching them to fear you and not want to be around you' and such. If I remember correctly a few do involve actual physical punishment, but I agree it would be nice to see that addressed more directly.
i had a dog that guarded his food but the difference is that his previous owners had starved him. he was so skinny when he first got him but he got very healthy!
Aaw. I'm glad these folks reached out for help. They obviously really care for their pup.
He is a sweet dog, worth every effort to help him overcome his problems
I'm excited to try this with my coonhound. He chose me as the provider and guards his food from anyone that isn't me and used to even try and make me watch while he ate. He's sassy to say the least
You could see the dog thinking, beautiful!!
I’m glad my dogs aren’t like this. I have 2 German shepherds and they don’t eat when I pet them. When I serve their food, if I pet them, they’ll wait until I’m done to eat. No aggression, no growling or barking teeth. They just calmly wait until I’m done to eat.
I love watching Victoria work with these “problem” dogs. One thing I’ve NEVER had before is a food aggressive dog. In our house even as kids we always taught them as pups to be ok with us being around their food. My stepmom has a dog that is SUPER food aggressive even with his treats (he is an older chi weenie) I told her that it’s terrible behavior especially with my toddlers being around him and she acted as if it were normal! She told me she’s never had a dog that wasn’t food aggressive 🤯 I told her that I have never had one that was. It’s so weird how one person’s expectations for a pet are different from others. Some of these people, to me, seem to never of had a dog before in their life. Victoria does amazing work with these dogs it is unreal
i love when victoria steps in and the dog is just confused, where's my food?
Aw, big kudos to these owners! Loved seeing them be excited seeing the proper training, and loved how husband was so keen on staying on the protocol!
I love this! My friend used this method Victoria is using for food aggression and it worked amazingly! I really wish that she would come here (to the US, specific where I live lol) so we can hire her to help us teach my huskies to walk on a leash right (we’ve tried. We’ve tried her methods too. I think we’re doing it wrong but idk). ☺️☺️
Get a gentle lead for the leash. It goes around the snout and basically makes it so where if they walk ahead it pulls their head down and prevents them from walking in front of you. It’s a great tool.
As a dog lover, dog owner, groomer, & daycare attendant I has advised my boyfriend to help his senior dog with his food aggression. I send him videos, and he never works with him through it. I’ve tried to help his dog out, but I don’t live with him, and he’s also not my dog. I can’t be there everyday. I’m just hoping that by sending this one, he’ll actually try to help him. :(
Awesome video. Different method than I normally use but I think that it is awesome. Love adding to my knowledge. Not every method works with every dog. So the more methods you know the more chances you have to resolve an issue.
In my opinion, I feel like the dog previously put up with people/other dogs taking away his food which is why he peed on the floor - not in a bad manner sort of way but to mark territory to indirectly say "This is mine and only mine"
I watch all of her videos but I don’t have a dog. These are really good to watch if you want to get a dog!
I was so afraid of my puppy growing up to be food aggressive. I followed Cesar Milan’s tips and exercises to prevent this and now my dog does fine. I feel like this is one of the most important things to teach a puppy. It can be very dangerous especially if there are children and babies in the home.
Legends says that the pee is still there on the floor
I kive seeing pet parents give them all the attention - showing how much you love them!!!! Wonderful.
I remember this couple and their dog. I really hated how Latoya kept interfering and breaking Victoria's clear instructions! She kept being rude in the interview, but when Victoria was present, she was a chicken. I wish Damien was more stern when telling her to NOT break any of the training rules Victoria had implemented. I really wished and would've loved to see Victoria lecture and snap off at Letoya's irresponsibility and carelessness. I bet Latoya only has a dog for personal pleasures (like petting him and playing with him whenever she feels like it. Being possessive sometimes as well as if she was the boss) and she really doesn't care about him.
My maternal uncle had an alcesian dog and he use to get aggressive when I would pet him while he was eating. This video connects every dots I had in mind 20 years ago. Great job
Smh let’s call a pro to help and not listen to them. Reaaallly smart lol. The guy was like the little sibling that says mom said not to do that haha
Victoria is SO good at these things, and I just love her tips. I'm binge-watching these videos rn as I'm getting a dog of my own soon. I don't wanna make the same mistakes as some of these people do.
Sometimes i would like that my dog guards her food a bit more. It is good that she isn't aggressive with humans touching her food but the cats eat all of her food and she does nothing so I end up guarding it😂😂
My dog used to do this with food and toys.
We taught her how to wait.
We removed food and toys when she growled and told her no.
Took time but she now doesn't growl at all and I can take food out of her bowl or do anything with her toys and she will just wait for me to give it her back.
Stephanie West well done!
I don’t have a dog so I love watching this
I don't even like dogs and I watch this lol
@@svdb9182 me too lol
you can really see the dog thinking "why don't you just give it all at one time woman"
God I hate it when people are like, "whatever" no, not whatever.
“You are the keeper of the food bowl now” the dog 🤺⚔️🧙🏻♂️
That is so interesting. I also have never seen that before.
I'm from the Philippines and i love watching your videos..i learned a lot about dealing with dogs...love you Victoria❤
We have a dog like this. We worked on his resource guarding from the start - he wouldn't even let another person be in the room while he ate - he would growl at them or lunge until they were out of sight.Over a year we got him accustomed to waiting for food, eating patiently etc. Yet after a few months, he got in a dog fight and had his stress level go through the roof and bit us in a completely bizarre incident around people eating dinner. Dogs who are anxious need life long training and care - we have gone back to the basics with hand feeding and separating our anxious dog from us around food. This is just to say - if you have an anxious/reactive dog, don't stop their training around resource guarding completely ever because any high stress incident throws them over threshold and they respond without being able to control them no matter how long you may have trained. Hang in there - it only gets better.
I always touch my dog or put my hand in the bowl to prevent this type of thing
That dog was looking like “ what’s this foolishness “
You should make a series "when owners don't listen "
Her husband is like "told you so"!
My dog was kinda abused or just hurt by their old owners it is has been 2,1 years and she is still kinda scared of us and is scared when we try to stroke her but has been just a little comtrabele
That's my husband all over again. We hired a trainer a few days ago, but suddenly he knows better than the trainer. He wants to buy an E-collar and zap the dog into compliance so he doesn't have to get up off his butt and deal with her. Not happening.
My dog growing up did the same, but she actually lunged- she was an emaciated stray in an roving pack before we got her, so I don't blame her.
We hand fed her for a week for every meal, then changed to placing kibble in the bowl, then pouring the full bowl with keeping our hand in the bowl, while twirling our hand in it as she ate.
After 3 weeks, no issues.
I just had a notification saying that it’s me or the dog then I looked at the comments and the comments say 6 days ago
Lol, your comment says 2 weeks ago.
My dog is like this, only at dinner time when there is tinned meat. When there is dry food she lets me go near her and i can put food in the bowl without her growling. She got so protective and followed me into the other room while growling. Shes now 3, and I’ve only had her 2 weeks! It’s now now spooking me, but I can tell the old owners beat her after because she whimpers towards me after shes eaten. :(
Why call an expert,and than don’t follow through with the helpful ideas?
Lmao I saw his face, he definitely thought about biting her when she pet him while he was eating
Why is she acting as if she knows what she’s doing?? Victoria is the expert. Not her
Our dogs were in crufts and everything from their previous owners and they still growled round their food, we respected that.
I sweearrr why can't Latoya just listen!!!!!!
"Oh I just thought it was easier" "Oh I know my dog"
No body asked, just do as you're told.
I love how Victoria talks
Isn't there the Option when he peed to say "stop, that's my territory " ?
xWunderFusseLx That is what I think. He was marking his territory.
@@Jazzykatt23 yeah that's what appears instant in my mind, that's why i asked. So it would be completely different from anxiety
You can usually tell the difference from his posture though.
he's like hello? where's the food
He peed cause he’s marking it as his food. He isn’t nervous in that way
NiChole Gallo ikr I think he is marking his territory lol
This isn't true. Dogs don't pee.on their food to mark it. Or else they'd easily get sick, that's not a good idea. He's probably freaking out about people being near his bowl.
The dog is like: What on earth happened to you? You are behaving weird? Why are you giving my own food in installments? lol
i love this show
That's so sweet. I adore your approach Victoria. The owners are awesome😁
Bruh I don't even have dogs and I know u need to pet them while they eat when they are small to help towards food aggression.
The dog looking up at Victoria like "lady where's my food" is absolutely hilarious to me
Stay safe everyone
I’m a healthcare worker....CoV is a cold virus. It’s all a scam to keep us indoors, divided from each other and to tank the economy. Please research before getting bill Gates event 201 fascist tattoo.
An example of why Victoria is a MUCH MUCH better trainer than....well you know who! We’ve prob all seen the video....he would’ve pushed and pushed this dog until it was either too fearful to do anything, or until the dog bit him just like in the video. I love Victoria’s methods a lot more.
exactly! and no one got bitten :'D amazing how if you don't bully a dog into "submission", you can keep them under threshold so they don't feel like they need to bite to get their point across. Victoria is awesome
Lol he would have sat there and claimed the bowl until the dog moved away on his own without any violence or being bit. He does this quickly in many episodes with food guarding... Sounds like you don’t even watch Cesar...
That was one dog... 😂
Sweet Teahyung Cesar doesn’t bully anyone...
@@MarlbrowFox intimidating a dog into either attacking or moving away from the food out of fear is bullying :'D
Her smile when she said "whatever" is annoying
Wow , I have never seen a dog do that in my life . Dogs truly love their food I guess
I'm sorry it's usually the men that are a problem and the man in this video is a better owner than the women because he actually listens.
She is SO RIGHT about having to go very slowly with behavior modification of this kind. That silly young girl was pushing it. She was thinking of herSELF, not what the dog needed. She could have been injured.I'm glad Victoria set her straight.
