My thoughts exactly. I was about to comment this.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up with more dogs after this.

I came to say the same thing. You knew it was heading that way with her 'no one can love them like I do' mentality.

💯

Yeh he seems like an alright guy

Jesse is dysfunctional for being with her, and maybe she wasn’t lying when she told Victoria he’s been an absent partner, even before the dogs. The dogs feel the void.

Jesse deserves a medal to tolerate this woman as long as he has; most would have left by now.

Her whiney voice on top of the incessant barking and commitment to no training, I would just go get the Sunday papers and never return.

she needs a bunny, to put in a cage and hand feed. That was the solution to this episode. *EDIT: ACTUALLY SHE NEEDS TO GO TO A PSYCH WARD FOR EVALUATION. LEAVE THE BUNNIES IN PEACE*

@@flipnshifty Funny thing, bunnies doesn't live good lives in cages, they need to roam free like dogs and cats. Guinea pigs however? perfect solution to what you're presenting!

​@@flipnshiftyshe doesn't need ANY animal. A house plant or a fluffy teddy bear is plenty responsibility for her. And i agree a bunny is nót supposed to live in a sad little cage

I feel like the majority of us shouldn't have dogs. I learned a lot from this video.

​@@imle9279not to be that guy, but Guinea pigs also need quite a bit of space! Two Guinea pigs (minimum number) require at the very, *very* least, 0,7m², or 7,5ft² of floor space. A small plant would, as a previous commenter suggested, be more appropriate before she moves on to other organisms.

Wonder who will pay for the roof over her head then.

Yes and i think they have problem and their negative energy also affects these poor dogs 😢 dont let this dogs suffer and stress out

Wants to be the savior but not put in the work that a savior does.

You’ve got this exactly right 😮😮😮

Exactly my thoughts.

And wants her husband to walk them. Like... girl... what do you do all day? 😂

But. . . .but. . . she saved them into those barren cages! Weird that Victoria didn't say anything about that. I was expecting her to introduce all sorts of puzzle toys and agility stuff.

She also let the dog lick her face.. With the same tongue it's licked its arsehole and balls with. 😂

My guess is the reason this loony had them in crates is not because she wanted to lock them but that she literally claimed she didn’t “believe in training” that it was “cruel” to not let them “be dogs”. Well it’s cruel to not train them. Because I think she had to crate them due to dog fights making things unsafe. Combine with her refusal to actually train them.

This is a shelter environment.

Those crates are way too small, and way too empty. Why know blanket and a toy?

Fr tho like the kennels at the pound/humane societies/rescues are far bigger than those crates. When I crated my dog (for 2.5 years until we trusted her alone in the house) we literally only crated her if no one was home and it was too hot or too cold for her to be in our huge fenced in and locked backyard

Heck they are in a bigger space at a shelter than in those cages, maybe she should be put in a small cage and see how she likes it

They need to be rescued from her.

In usa, pets=property.

I can’t STAND her

he's never around BECAUSE of her and her many failures with these dogs. I mean, she doesn't believe in training?? She keeps them crated and ignores the very real damage their barking causes, to her, to them, and to Jesse. She ignores the fighting and the bites from Max, and the risks involved in having a dog with a bite history. She ignores Jesse's needs and all of his concerns. She prioritizes her care for the dogs (not the dogs themselves, just her need to be needed) over her HUSBAND. I would never be home, either!

@@LG-jb9zshow did he not know what he was getting himself into

​@Belovedfire narcissists are good at love bombing and gaslighting

You are so right. I'm surprised Jesse is still there. He seems to be a sweet guy and deserves better.

They only rescued them from euthanasia... they live in cages

She’s a kook, and shouldn’t own any dogs

They literally replicated the pound in her own household and tried to act like this was a better living situation for them than the alternative OF the pound.. She's delusional

Yes being a volunteer in taking care of dogs doesnt mean you already knows everything coz understanding each dog personality means you must experience rearing one by yourself first 😶 researching and learning about them is the key on understanding not assuming whats in your head 🙄 thinking she knows everything 😢

Whatever organization she volunteered for needs to send her home.

And on death row

And Bailey is underweight, how can she not see that?

A trained dog is a happy dog. They need boundaries just like children. (Jan Griffiths).

@@douglasgriffiths3534absolutely. If you don’t train a dog they will not respect you. They will bully you. Take advantage of you

True order and discipline is needed in everything to have a better and unstressful life 😢 i almost not finished these episodes 😂😂 coz im a bit annoyed in her principle regarding dog training 😅

I agree! Im so pissed how she thinks she always right! She dont know how she bless she has such a good husband

Yeah, it almost feels like Munchausen's by proxy

The husband can’t be human. How the hell does he put with her

True he has lots of patience coz if im that guy im gonna leave immediately coz im an introvert and im easily stress with loud sounds for soo long. This woman feels shes rescuing dogs but shes not doing any good either with the dogs coz shes the one who has the big problem in their house She doesnt listen to her husband and her dogs 😢

She stresses me out during the intro. How am I about to watch like 40 minutes of this?

Watching this episode stressed me out!!!

@@XSemperIdem5patience is the key that how you did it

I’m right there with you. I had to turn it off every 10 minutes to calm down but wanted to finish to see if it had a positive resolution.

SAME. Anyone who puts a creature circling in a crate makes me wanna have a “serious chat”. She’s sick in the head

I don’t believe he’s never there because in other episodes of Victoria helping families u can tell when someone not helping but Jesse is always there and willing to walk and feed the dogs even with what they did to his hearing so I just believe it’s her manipulating him it makes me sick but I’m glad Victoria is helping families like this 💜😊

That women is the one who needs to be in that crate, honestly she annoys me a lot more than the 4 dogs together

Samaa mieltä!

@@Cnr47 Que?

@@fredericklopez1573the poor dogs learned their behavior from her

@@bellarose8630 Exactly unfortunately dogs pay the consequences

Victoria Stilwell is an actress. She is coached on what to do for the situation

No she isn’t 😂😂 she’s a dog trainer 😂😂 dummy she actually has a school she started for people that want to be a dog trainer

no they do this because they need drama for the episode. nothing more

​@@D0B3RW0M4NWhere is that sourced?

@@D0B3RW0M4N she s a walking ad for KITKAT

that's what i'm sayin 😭

I agree completely! Got an update. Jesse and Joanne did not stay together much longer after this. Don’t know what happened to Joanne but Jesse remarried and had kids. Jesse also kept Blaze when they split till Blaze passed away from old age. Hopefully Joanne got the help she desperately needed

That may well be true, but after seeing his response when Victoria asked her to share with him what she'd needed from him (even before the dogs) and didn't get--the disrespect he showed her, his casual and condescending dismissal of her vulnerability and needs, I wonder whether the whole dog situation may not have been a misguided solution to his coldness and emotional rejection.

Can you imagine what sort of mother she’d be? 😢

There's a person for everyone out there...and for most that person is a therapist!

She wants to not be able that poor dog without her . Disable the dog. She is an animal abuser. I really hope she can never be able to have kids. She is dangerous. She would be one of those moms who keep hurting her kids and taking them to hospital, to fulfill her sick “saviour complex”. She really scares me

​@@melt2947 Indeed, scary behavior

I agree completely. They crates were too small for the dogs and they were left in the crates for way too long. Feeding a dog in a proper sized crate is fine. Separating the dogs (by using crates) when they're working on stuffed Kongs (so they won't have any resource guarding issues) is fine. But stuffing the dogs in a too-small crate and leaving them for 20 to 23 hours a day is cruel. The most hardened criminals are relegated to solitary confinement. These dogs aren't hardened criminals, yet they are relegated to solitary confinement. Poor dogs.

Guess there's just too much issues for one episode to contain =__=

She address that she said their crates are so small for them to move around

@@lindziep6319 I missed that.

I agree that Joanne is the problem, but the crates are not too small for the dogs and the crates are not the problem. The lack of structure and discipline in the dogs' lives is the problem.

She gave no effs about his stress ulcers too! Instead saying it's been hard for her too, ignoring that... Clearly not as hard!

I've seen a lot of these episodes, with one spouse being completely insufferable. But I wonder if they direct them to act that way so that there is an arch to the story?

In her defense, Jesse shouldn't have yanked that dog's collar. He's a living being, not a toy.

​@@rogue7723 but do you remember why the dogs pull so much! Because Joanne won't train them because it's "cruel". Also she pulls on they're collars too, granted not as hard as Jesse, but she nags him for every little pull sooo...

That's my question. And there wasn't even comfortable bedding in the crates. Leave the crate doors open and if the dog chooses to go in there and nap (and, for God's sake, put some comfortable bedding in the crate), great. But making a dog stay in the crate when you're there is just cruel. I don't think she realizes that.

The dogs don't get along well at all. They're kept in them so they don't tear each other up. They are not trained at all. She really has no control over them. (Jan Griffiths).

​​​@@janhankins911Well, I think that they don't even have a proper bed inside because those crates are too little for those dogs, I'm not even sure how they could put something else inside, tbh. This woman is cruel towards her dog and I'm not sure if she even realizes it. She whines about her husband pull the dogs while walking but she doesn't question the fact that she make them live their lives literally in crates. I wonder how would she feel like living like that...

@@janhankins911I don’t lock up my puppy because I know she has separation anxiety. I let her be herself by going in and out of the crate.

I think that's some kind of savio syndrome

Just like my sister. She wanted dogs, but she didn't want the responsibility that goes with them

100% This was all for the sake of stroking her ego and making herself feel like a savior.

For real. They were not introduced to one another obviously. No discipline. No training or constructive work with them. She has no business owning so many dogs if she can't train or control them. (Jan Griffiths).

Thanks! These are great activities and suggestions!

Nice! I don't put her bed in the crate right now because she bites her bed right now

Probably both. (Jan Griffiths).

I'm not sure what you being a divorcee has to do with it, but I also hate hearing her say these things about this man she's supposed to care about and who cares for her.

Because she has probably got some knowledge on why people get divorced.. I'm divorced too and this is very sad to see... they will not be married long if she does not stop!

Just let her clean the kennels when the dogs are being walked by a volunteer who actually knows something about dogs.

You should judge the humane society for allowing four dogs to go to her home without going and doing a home visit first. What shelter in their right mind would send a dog like Max who is reactive to a home with 3 other dogs? It sounds like the local shelter needs some training.

It never ceases to amaze me how, when It comes down to it, the dogs are pretty much never the problem. The owners needs counseling or therapy for one issue or another, and that just trickles down into how they treat the dogs. Also, Kit Kat needs to do a brand deal with Victoria! 😂

Dogs in shelters have bigger cages than that! Hell, my guinea pigs have a cage bigger than that!

​My chickens, ducks, and turkeys have more space than her dogs​@@4nn4h

As bad as Joanne is, Jesse’s no saint either. He constantly yanks the dogs by their collars (which Joanne also does, but it’s no better when _he_ does it), shouts at them instead of teaching them alternate ways to behave and rags on Joanne instead of looking in the mirror.

Yep. Trained dogs are happy dogs. (Jan Griffiths).

😂 the comments from super ignorant judgmental people are the best. The dogs are horrible and she’s no prize eh? The number of people who are miserable in their lives so they go online and put down other people grows daily.

@@amyfu2047She’s a nightmare,as are the dogs. The dogs are aggressive,disobedient,loud and she enables the behavior. She said she’d put the dogs over her husband. That’s insane to live in or defend. It’s not a judgment,it’s a fact.

The dogs aren't horrible, they're mistreated and untrained

A shelter dealing with an influx of animals all day and their care doesn’t have time to do home visits.

​@@TTHeavensentI just reread your comment, and realized you're specifically talking about having the time to do home visits. Which, I can also understand that. But, with all that is at risk, there really is no excuse. They have volunteers. They always have volunteers, who are capable of doing home checks. With today's technology. No one even needs to leave the facility. Many shelters and rescues are having walk throughs being recorded by the potential owners, or now, doing it through FaceTime. At the very least, doing thorough background checks, more than one interview to get a picture of what the home life will be like. And then getting references from friends and/or family members is the least that can be done. Without even just that. They could be sending these dogs off to owners like this woman, or even worse. The issue our shelters and rescues had in the past. We're people "adopting" dogs to be used as bait for dog fighting. This is a very common issue across the globe in many other shelters as well. Which is why my local shelters, and many others. Go thru such thorough checks before handing any dogs over.

Or no more than one. (Jan Griffiths).

Hi, I have a rescue dog too, with a history of starvation - were yours obsessed (to a degree beyond the average dog) with food? If so, did you ever find a way to curb that obsession? I really wish my girl could develop a healthier relationship with food!

​@@4nn4h I feed with slow feeders, enrichment toys, and hand feeding. it slows them down but it doesn't help the obsession. the obsession over food will get better over time especially if you give the dog a place away from other animals to eat said food alone. right now he/she feels like the food is going to get stolen away or they won't get as much as everyone else gets. structure is about all I have. I've only been training dogs for three years, I've studied cases like this, but never been in contact. if you need further help I'd reach out to a professional trainer with a good reputation.

@@4nn4h I had one dog, a German shepherd, that stands out , because he was very emaciated when I took him from the rescue kennels. They had been unable to get his weight up as he was jumping around so much in his run. He was aged about 11 years and had been kept in a yard all his life. I had 2 other dogs, but had to feed him separately as he was very defensive. I did cure him of that, by feeding him by hand, and every time he took food from me, praising him. The 2 other dogs were in the same room, but not able to get near him, they were trained to lie down. He realised they were no threat to him, and was eventually relaxed enough to be fed in the same room as them. And, of course, was not going to bite the hand that feeds him. He got used to the times he was going to be fed, and did not look for food, as he got to know the routine. I also had a walk-in pantry, so no food was accessible at any other time, except his meal-times! Not sure if it will work in your case, but good luck. 🙂

That's typical

Shes a horrible owner too

If my husband said that to me then boldly repeated it to an outsider, that's all I'd need to hear.

I saw an update in the comments, someone said they divorced and Jesse took blaze; and is now married with kids. Not sure what happened to Joann. Good for him.

​@ASentientPlant ty! Only reason I'm in the comments, hunting for that info. I mean than poor man needed to get out!

Agreed. He's at work, so he can pay for her damn dogs. 😂😂

​@@ASentientPlant I hope the other dog is away from Joann and is doing better, but glad that Jesse got away from her! Seems like he's doing far better now

Regarding her voice, I did have to turn the volume down some several times. I agree that they have way too many dogs.

😂😂 I saw her do it on a UK episode.
