I know this is off topic, but I hope the lady has a healthy, happy, cancer free life ahead of her. I pray the cancer never comes back.
Such a loving thought. I am following your lead and sending her complete and total health vibrations also. They are such a lovely couple.
Neon lights, you are sweet, I hope so too, her being so happy and free of anxiety i am pretty sure that will go a long way for her recovery and staying cancer free. Let's pray for her. 😊
Me too. She’s gorgeous. They seem lovely
This shows how Victoria kept up to date on problems and solutions for dogs who were raised mid pandemic for example. That takes a lot of studying and passion for behaviour science. It's so informative and heartwarming to see it. I'm really glad they're doing more episodes.
Separation anxiety isn't really a new thing, she just noticed an uptick in people dealing with it. I'm sure nearly all dog trainers did. The impressive part is how she trains the owners imo
it’s actualy Reaally not Thaaaat complex !! A dog that is never taught to be alone/spend time away from his owner from a young age, doesn’t get the chance to develop some much needed confidence and comfort skills!! And as they get older, they are a lot more aware of beeing alone since they’ve never been away from their owners at all! It’s a lot more scary and confusing for them! So even if u work from home it’s still super important that you give your dog some Alone time away from u in a different area of the house!! When this isn’t done, and the more time u spend w him, the worst the anxiety is gonna get’
So am I, especially since scientific knowledge about is always changing with new discoveries. Also this is off topic but _wow_ Victoria is _still so beautiful._ 😃
I wish I had known about Victoria 14 years ago when our rescue had barking and separation anxiety issues. He's mellow now (mostly because he's old and doesn't care), but he used to be an absolute terror to anyone who wasn't family. I've started using her techniques at dinner when he barks for food and they do help even on an old man. What a great teacher!
Good morning kate how are you doing 👋
We had a boxer with separation anxiety and were told to get another dog. It worked. But not everyone can just up and get a second dog.
@@Vannabee13 sometimes that can backfire and the anxious dog can rile up the new one
For anyone who is curious, the music is Through a Dog's Ear. There are multiple albums.
This one really pulled on my heartstrings! It's clear how much they love each other and how much the dog means to them, being the only thing that brought her joy while she was so ill. So happy to see it worked out in the end 💚
Ya it does
And yet they talk.of giving him away...
@@lindagray1809 because his behavior was terrible imagine living in this house for a year with this dog
@@lindagray1809 Because that’s part of the show’s production…not because they were going to do it. It’s a show…there needs to be drama? So they manufacture it? Honestly…
@@lindagray1809_if_ the issues couldn’t be addressed. Teddys behavior was unsustainable. Imagine the neighbours too and the complaints that were likely made.
Thank you for showing the reality of separation anxiety and how slow the progress is. It takes a long long time to make progress.
This is going to be important advice for people who got dogs to help them through the pandemic.
And even dogs that got used to their humans being home from the pandemic and now going back to work in office.
Sad thing is tho most dogs were giving back to shelters when quarantine was lifted and people started going back to work.
@@emmaf7802 I find that more infuriating than sad. pets are a commitment, you can't return them because they suddenly became less convenient.
I think the main reason why he had separation anxiety is because he knew she was sick. And he always watched over and protected her. Dogs have a special ability to detect when someone is sick before they can even show symptoms!! I truly love them and I 1000% know that they were a special gift from God.
I am a first time dog mom. I adopted my puppy last month. Your videos have definitely helped me a lot and I have been trying out your tips! It’s been a lot of work haha. She is a year and 4 months. I adopted her from a shelter.
That is so wonderful! Way to go!🥰 Good luck with your puppy and thank you for rescuing from a shelter! All of my kitties are rescues.😊🐱🐈🐈⬛ What kind of puppy do you have?🐶
Take care of her, she ll take care of you❤
I too am a new dog mom. I have a re-home rescue who is four. He's absolutely wonderful, but has separation anxiety now while I am home. Working with him so I can ease his stress before I have to go back to the office.
@@TurquoiseInk my dog is having bad separation anxiety. I don’t know what to do. I will walk on my porch or out of the room and she will cry if I don’t let her follow me. She wines very loudly I can hear her in the parking lot of my apartments. I feel bad that I don’t know how to help her. I have tried playing relaxing music for dogs.
@@hayleytaylor589 get him a dog or cat.
- Isn't he gorgeous? - But his good looks and curls aren't the problem I love the narration
I think these are the first owners that seem like they are genuinely kind, lovely people. In most of the rest there is at least one person who is the problem, far more than the dog. This made me happy how much they clearly love this beautiful boy and that they are intelligent and willing to put in the work.
They say nice words but didn't commit to dog ownership.
@@lindagray1809 I think it's important to note that humans with intense and emotional problems but of course find it very challenging to care for another animal with intense emotional problems. A lot of the time the owners just don't care and get angry at the dog. But when you're emotionally vulnerable and what it seems here gets stressed easily it's understandable how challenging it would be to care for a dog with similar issues
@@lindagray1809they are, hence getting help and doing the training. You’ve posted several harsh comments about them and they’re unwarranted and unrealistic
Majority of the new episodes feature owners like them
Aw such a sweet family! I use that music for my dog during storms, she settles right down and goes to sleep on my chest
So unfair how people were getting dogs during the pandemic just to keep themselves entertained then rehoming them when they went back to work
Unfortunately, a lot of dogs are just being surrendered to shelters because they have behavioural issues from not being properly socialised due to lockdowns and training schools being closed. It's so sad for all those poor pups.
My mom is one of the few percent of those who kept their covid dogs. My mother has always wanted one but as a kid she had a bad experience and it scarred her. But she suffers from depression and one day during the height of the pandemic she decided to buy a dog. Three years going four and we can't imagine our lives without our dog. But I too, as an animal lover am angry how many dogs were being removed to a new home or into a shelter. Dogs are not home decor, nor a temporary thing. They are living and breathing beings with feelings. You can't just want one without proper research (to find the best suited dog for you which many first and clueless dog owners don't do), you also need to be a 100% willing to own one. I hate seeing dogs and animals in general being thrown away like an old piece of furniture.
@@ameliawilder28 I'm glad that you and your mum are staying true to your pup. It's not that hard really is it? But you're so correct in saying that so many people who come across a hurdle with their dogs, just give up on them. After all the love these pooches have shown their owners, the owners can't then show the same love and respect these poor animals deserve. It's absolutely heart wrenching. They deserve so much better.
I got my pup during covid she has some behaviour issues but were working on them. I would never leave her we depend on each other.
I work in the Animal Care Industry And I wish more people wouldbe quicker to hire a trainer! All day I see dogs that are struggling because their owners have no clue. And they want things like Bark collars without changing THEIR own behaviours AT ALL. I feel dreadfully sorry for the dogs. Jane is so lovely and she must have felt so desperate and so bad for teddy, so glad she called in Victoria! This family deserve to be happy together.
OH MY GOD, NEVER LET THIS DOG GO. So emotional when the women said how the dog was important in her healing process 🥲
It's so exciting seeing new methods being brought up to cope with/train for separation anxiety after so many people getting dogs over the pandemic. This would make such a cool graduate study/project!
Hey Maggie how are you doing 👋
Victoria : put spycams to observe the cute dog's behavior. Cute dog( once alone): grab a beer in the fridge, sit down on the coach, turn the tv on and light a big joint. Edit: the music trick is amazing, I used it ( Bach, Vivaldi, Marais) for my dog. Victoria is a helpfull beautiful person💛
Just great - thank you for doing this episode. Good wishes to Teddy and both his parents who seem very caring people. As a BC survivor myself of over 10 yrs I can say - it's a tough treatment and I've managed to build a life since but it is different. Cancer is a disease that kills but we've managed to overcome a lot of it. Well done all.
U can see just how giddy and happy Victoria is with that little dancing Also does anyone else feel like these two couple seem to be the easiest owner on this show who really got the hang of the training right away?
Victoria is always training the humans very well😁
That's what dog training is all about, teaching the owners how to teach their dogs 🐕. Once you know what to do, it's just putting in the practice with your dog. Alot of people also forget to keep the training short. I used to do "TV training" basically having short fun sessions with my dogs during TV commercials and my dogs loved it. Dogs only have short attention spans, so doing several short sessions during the day instead of one long keeps their attention on the task. Also, try and teach one or two things at a time and you'll find your dog will pick things up quite quickly. Then you move onto the next thing you want to teach them. The work you put into your training will pay off with a well behaved and happy dog.
Feel like crying. Good job, Victoria! Your previous videos helped me and my puppy in this regard, that I wasn't afraid to ask for help when I couldn't do all the work with Wojtek. Last year we went to a dog preschool, then to a basic training course. Now Wojtek is the best boy in our hood. And we are still training and playing, he is better with every day.
Omigod is he named after the bear?? Because that's GREAT
I love seeing the before and afters! Really shows how much the dog has improved, keep up the great work.
We need another update! I hope they’re living their best lives.
can we just appreciate victoria for dressing up like a private detective? (inspired by another comment, not my idea)
I pray her cancer never ever comes back. I also want to note on how lovely and caring her husband is. Hes so sweet and tender. Hugging on his wife before and after work and being upset about the big c topic. They love eachother and its lovely to see they had eachother through everything.
There's a whole KZhead channel called Relax My Dog. Plus a sniffing walk and a running walk a day, plus playing, minus heightened greetings and plus desensitising return of people, and play, play, play. Lots of enrichment. Why, why, why do people not look for info before getting a dog?
Another lovely happy dog story.....Our dog had separation anxiety so we play "classical music for studying" for our dog and give him a bone to chew or a snack mat about ten minutes before we go out and our dog is relaxed he doesn't even run to the door now . We also play the music and give him a chew treat at random moments so he associated with good times with us and it works so well ! I mostly work from home though so he isn't left much ,but for a while we couldn't go out because we felt so bad at his distress. The music has an amazing effect.
I don’t have a dog, but a year ago my neighbors had some construction work done in their home, so during the day there was a lot of loud noises and my cat would hide a lot. Every time I would come home during my lunch break from work I would find him hiding under the couch. I started playing Disney piano music for him so he wouldn’t focus on just the construction noises and it worked! Now when I would come home from work he would be on his cat tree or happily greeting us at the door instead of always hidden under the couch . Music really helps animals too and not much is said about it.
@@laurajoshi6474 That's lovely ! I'm so glad music worked for your cat ....I agree that more needs to said about music for animals. I hope other people read our posts and try it.
Even though I’m not a dog but that calm music made me sleep I was yawning lol
Victoria is amazing, as always. She does have a great impact on people, and this particular couple seemed so enthusiatic! I loved their eagerness to develop their dog's skills. I am glad the lady is doing well, her bond with the doggo was so palpable when she was cuddling with him at 14:02
I love these when I’m bored I haven’t watched this in a while
I loved watching it's me or the dog on TV in the aughts - early 10s, I'm so glad Victoria is still training dogs and I'm excited to see new episodes :) also she still looks as cool and stylish as she did when she first started out, she's an icon
i love these episodes there awesome and Victoria makes dog training look like a peice of cake🐾🐩🐶
absolutely loving the full episodes!
This is so wholesome, what a great episode
These owners are so sweet. The dog too!
Victoria is sucha wonderful understanding being. I admire her so much!
My dog barks at noises in the hallway all the time and when trash valet comes it’s a whole debacle. I’m definitely going to try the “here” game with him
I love love love Victoria, she’s amazing
Amazing techniques! Thank you. Great job, Victoria and the dog owners.
I love this show and have been watching for many years. I am loving the addition of the knowledge on bog breeds and their behaviours. 💕
Amazing episode, thank you for sharing
Victoria is one of the best finds of the pandemic. I hope she meets tremendous success.
ok but like, Victoria's face at 10:13 had me laughing out loud 😂
Happy Monday Victoria have a great day working with dogs 🐶 paws 🐾 xoxo 😘
Victoria you are great. Thank you
This is hugely helpful. Our dog could be this dogs twin face -wise. We are slowly making progress with her separation anxiety
I😊just hope every dog owner is like Victoria
I loved this episode. They’re a lovely couple. I was rooting for them and Teddy so hard. Victoria is an angel. She’s so caring. I love what they achieved. We need another update! Victoria dancing was a nice bonus too 12:49 😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite bits. 😃
Such a adorable dog 💖💖💖💖
YAY SO EXCITED!! 😀💛
He's a really smart boy he sat down at first and waiting to get another treat thinking he was supposed to sit
Their backyard is beautiful
Thank you
This dog is the cutest
Gonna try some of these tips for my two year old's bedtime.
He went to sleep! I started with checking on him every 2:00 minutes and quickly realized that was too long so eventually found his threshold at 15 seconds. After checking on him and re-tucking for about 20 minutes I put on some Bio-Acoustic music and fed his little sister her bottle. He was out like a light. Quickest bedtime in months!
Wow! What a difference.
Thanks Victoriaaaaa a, love ur videossssss , I could try in my studio bedroom apartment
Victoria is the QUEEN rules the world of dogs and no one can stop her until the world is at peace owners and dogs xoxo 😘 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🌈💖🌈🌈🌈💖💖🌈🌈🌈💖💖🌈🌈🌈💖💖🌈🌈💖🌈💙💙🌈🌈🌈
The Queen of Pups does it again =) Love Victoria so much! And Teddy is ADORABLE! I am glad they are all happy now I hope they keep at it! =D
6:55-“ I’ve left the house and I made this happen” -- NO.. It’s cuz u DIDNT LEAVE IT **** AT ALL **** Or Teach him to be ALONE since he was a puppy so he hasn’t learned how to be confident and he is a lot more aware now too as he gets older so he’s even More aware of beeing alone now than he was as a young pup’
I really love Jane and Mike, and of course Teddy
YOUR POSTING ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy early birthday
Hope you have a good birthday bro
@@dragondrawers434 thank you so much!
@@anhoang3680 thank you!
@@bananaman3012 no problem 😊
I feel this! I have an 8 year old cat that I got as a kitten and he has huge separation anxiety. Most people look at me crosseyed when I tell them I need a cat sitter... He is who he is. The vet gave us a homeopathic medicine to help ease his over grooming and that has helped a lot. His fur is growing in again. The older he's gotten, the more obsessive he grooms... I also use feliway which is a natural calming hormone. And a vet food called calm with ingredients that help settle his nerves. I wish I could take away his anxiety....
Bet you this lady finds a remote position in the next two months. It’s criminal how terrible our return to work is for our furry friends and families
Love you too much
Omg my pup is so in need of this kind of help I've tried everything😢
This is literally the taller version of my dog
Victoria you Rock!😅 Whenever I left the house, I played the classics music station for my fur babies, and always came back to a calm home!
Hi. Same with me. Then, one day, I noticed my cat was really fond of Vivaldi...
I have a 9 week old female German Shepard. She hasn’t been left alone for the 1 week we have had her. We left her alone for 15 minutes while we sat in our car down the road. She was howling and crying & trying to get out of her pen😢 I felt so terrible
Teddy you're too cute to behave this way😂
Is there any info on how much the dog is walked, played with, put to work?
what a nice couple
I didn't hear her say anything about exercise. A well exercised dog is too tired to do any of these shenanigans. Also crate training would help. The drop it and take it is a definite win, not just for the stealing but in case he gets into something he's not supposed to, the drop it command is paramount.
My parent’s dog has to be medicated if they are going to leave her. She can’t handle being alone without the help, she won’t even lay down all day without her medicine. Before my parents adopted her she had been taken back to the shelter because the owners said she was too much to deal with. She’s become my parent’s baby esp since they both just retired, she barely needs her meds because they take her everywhere. My baby girl cries when I leave, and it breaks my heart. I’m sick, so I’m home a lot unless I have doc appts. When I was in the hospital my friend watched her and my little boy, and she said that poor girl kept walking around looking for me before curling up at my friend’s feet. Like Victoria said, I wish we could explain to them that we are coming back, and they don’t have to be afraid.
Hi
It's amazing to see when the lightbulb kicks on in the owners heD and they realize they have to PLAY with their dog lol. Cats and dogs aren't just there to look at and sit on your lap.
Yes you can tell Teddy that they'll be back!!!!
Hi Victoria great show. Thank you I have learned so much. Could you please tell me. When you train a dog not to bark at people coming to or walking by your house will your dog bark when he really needs to ? Like when someone breaks into your house will your dog sense something is wrong ?
Hello
18:05 is that the sims 4 toddler rug?😂
I would like to perch music like that .
He’s bored out of his gourd. humans need to educate themselves because it’s not the dog it’s the owner.
Wee dog was useful and you suggest rehoming when inconvenient
This is such a help. I adopted a dog almost 3 weeks ago and she struggles being alone. I'll be using these tips to help her out. She also eats my underwear for some reason.. any tips how I can stop her from raiding my laundry bin? She's a pomsky, 2 and a half years old, and an ex breeder from a puppy mill. She isn't used to living in a normal house yet as she comes out of a stable.
...Victoria starts teaching desensitization at abput 15mins
@@HumanimalChannel that works for her raiding the laundry and hiding with my undies when I can't see her? Awesome! Thank you!
@@alurafox666 just no more laundry basket on the ground! It's like having a toddler and making sure medicines are high up, and cleaning products are locked away :)
@@HumanimalChannel thank you! She's my first dog so I'm learning as we go.
@@alurafox666 she needs you to be calm, consistent, assertive. To give her routine that she can trust (A walk first thing in the morning!) and to work on obedience daily, basics like sit ("good girl!") Stay, up down etc. You're doing great, I'm sure! Dogs KNOW when they've been rescued. My dog... who was also my first, although my partner at the time had a dog and I'd gotten good at being stepmum, he hadn't lived in a house either. He was born at the rspca and wasn't adopted until over 2 years old. So he lived in cages all that time. One day early on, he stood in the lounge room and did the longest pee on the rug...he just didn't know! He got VERY used to comfort :) beds, lots of Bush walking, it took about two months to properly work out the separation anxiety, but I persevered with the steps and we got there. You will too! Poms are amazing, they're so smart, loyal, special, they're funny, and they're beautiful.
I wish I could call Victoria to help me but I don’t wanna be on TV
What about getting him a companion dog , cat or whatever. A friend to play and cuddle with when parents are out!
Yay
You gotta teach a dog what "no" and "stop" means or they're not going to obey. They can't.
It's so sad that people suffer so long because they have dogs but dont train those dogs! What i've seen It is usual to just "expect the best". So clueless!
Nice people but clueless. They didn't Google anyrhing? They didn't think to work him? They didn't think to walk and train him ?
It's obvious you've never had a dog with true anxiety. I have one now and work with him everyday, if you read up as I have, some dogs never get over it. I've had dogs and never one like this one. Easy to judge.
A cavapuchon. Are you kidding me. No wonder.
I had a puppy she travels everywhere with me will this work with Furbo
Have you considered using a leash?
So sad furbaby..so heartbreaking. energy is so negative.
What’s the instrumental?
The backyard in this episode looks like something from a simulation.... 🤔
what's the music she (VIctoria) uses?
17:35 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Does anyone have a link to a KZhead playlist with bioacoustics like the one in this episode? The ones I’m finding are not quite the same
I saw another comment that mentioned an album called “Through a Dog’s Ear”. I looked it up and it looks like the music is available through Spotify and KZhead. Hope this helps!
❤❤❤
Hey Victoria! I need some tips……. I’m getting a poodle puppy soon and I know poodles are so intelligent so I don’t want to mess her up. Any tips….

I pray so she’s young to be on meds
