I love Victoria helping a family BEFORE they get a dog! What a great way for them to be prepared.

Elise and John are the first couple that seemed to actually follow Victoria's instructions every step of the way. She didn't have to rush back due to them trying to do things their own way. Good on you, Elise and John!!!!!!

Why having a dog and let the poor thing 70% of the time locked in a cage? That's awful.

If someone tells you they don’t want a dog, the loving thing is to believe them

John really stepped up to the plate for his partner, and the dog. She has a good guy, he's a keeper.

I love how you can tell that the first family had already been doing training, but they admitted they still needed extra help. It's also great that the second family asked for advice before they even adopted their dog. Well done, families! You are very respsibal dog owners!

Elise has a solid recall with Raven. That’s pretty good for a young pup.

Raven's owners made a ton of mistakes at first, but they put in a lot of hard work to address the problems.

The biggest thing I think is how calm the couple stays when the older puppy doesn’t behave well and so I commend them on that

I love that she got the kids involved by getting them to look out for anything that could be a hazard to the new puppy. What a great way to make the kids feel included, yet also teach them something vital

I’m so impressed with Elise! She took to the training so quickly and seemed very patient with her wild lil pup.

I have not had a dog in 11 years. I forgot what it takes. This show and Victoria's training and tips taught me so much. I am getting ready to get a puppy next year, so I am doing my training first.

Training a dog is basically learning how to communicate with that dog. It shouldn't be a chore but it should be a happy experience for both the dog and the human. Keep the lessons short, fun and positive. Redirect when needed and keep on doing it. What you put into the dog's first 18 months will be a lot of work, but it nets a lifetime of great experiences for the entire family.

I just taught my Corgi puppy bite inhibition by yelping at her whenever she bit too hard. She’s very gentle with her mouth now. She turned 1 in May and is a great dog 😊

I wish more people hired trainers BEFORE they get dogs, just like this

Victoria does not age !! 😍 I’ve been watching for yearsss

I appreciate that she took the second family to a RESCUE shelter. There are so many pure bred puppies on this show that seem like they were bred

Man I love watching pups play with eachother, they're so adorable. I can't believe Raven didn't get to experience much of that when she was a smaller pup, I feel so bad for her. I'm glad the owners are getting better and more involved with her. There should really be more education and reminders for people when it comes to getting a puppy or a pet in general...

Raven needed training before those teeth hurt someone. She is a very smart dog and seems to learn quickly. Elise and John are going to have a lovely dog by following Victoria's instructions. Love owners who want to help train their dog. I like the couple and clever Raven.

Raven was so smart and took to training so quickly!! And her parents did a good job working on putting in effort for her. So sweet!!

I just got a puppy, and let me be honest, more than half the things I use to discipline her are from this show. What can I say its effective!

The first couple was so sweet and decided to intervene at the right time ! Usually people just let them off when they are younger and cuter. This is what all owners should do !!!

can we talk about how ADORABLE Raven is tho? It's not her fault she is confused from her owners. Yet all dogs have separate personalities and respond differently to external environments. SHE IS SO CUTE omg I hope she has a better handle on things now (and idk i didn't like john too much, not my place to judge but he seemed a bit too self interested.) I LOVE RAVEN SO MUCH THO OMFG how could you not love this dog. (I am partial to rotties and dobermans tho... so im biased lol )

We got our rott (my avatar) and my wife's niece and husband got a pup from the same litter. We trained our rott from day one, they didn't. Two years later our rott was well behaved, friendly, and obedient, they turned their dog in because it was attacking the family and they couldn't control it. It's NOT the dog, it's ALWAYS the owners.

Don’t understand why people still get dogs especially puppies when one partner says they r not ready (John) and Elise goes with it and then blames John for not receiving help. Like he literally don’t want a dog.

😭😭😭😭I DON'T WANNA WAIT 76 DAYS FOR THIS

I have an 8 week old dobie and I'm going to use this uh oh method for good behavior around my kids and other critters. She's very mouthy, but Ive worked with her on my couch, playing with her, and anytime she bites or nips, I yell OUCH and get up off the couch, disengage the playing, and stand with mt back turned to her for about 20 seconds. The nipping and biting has greatly decreased. I think using a lead and removing her from the living room once she gets mouthy with the family is going to be a game changer, so glad I found this.

If your partner tells you upfront that they don’t want a pet or that responsibility you need to respect that decision. If you have a pet when they meet you that’s different. If you don’t have a pet and they tell you that they don’t want a pet and you decide to get one that’s YOUR PET!!!

Kudos to the family for reaching out BEFORE!!

A beagle mix? Hope they're ready for howling and barking training too!

My puppy use to be like raven but because I had an adult dog in the house I allowed my adult dog to train him and it worked very well.

Who else wants to just cover themselves in puppies after watching that? So adorable.

Lol. I have a pomeranian 9 mo old pup. His "bedroom🤗" is a giant dog size crate. He has cloth puppy pads, toys, his little blankets, a ceramic bowl for water in it. Its is refered to as Asa's bedroom 😂.

"I'm the one who takes her out. I'm the one who feeds her." You're the one who wanted her, so she's your responsibility. You can't complain about not having help in this case.

when I decided to get a puppy I prepared myself, I actually read Victoria's Book "The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Puppy" and still I did not expect SO much work having a puppy... so its great that the family wants to start out right which lets u know u have responsible future owners here

So important for everyone to take responsibility for your puppy and plus the kids can learn to and this so a adorable opportunity ❤

I likfe for the second family to ask beforehand for help before any dog in their home. Its so nice and well-prepared.

Είναι αξιόλογος σαν άνθρωπος,και εξαιρετική εκπαιδεύτρια,😊

What a great teacher! I wish all dog owners wanted to learn.

I taught my four month old abused border collie to stop biting feet by a single shake from a shake can and a stern ‘no bite’ she learned in one day. She’s amazingly intelligent!!

I hope you can recover if it’s you who got bit that’s probably why we have to wait 76 days for this

My experience of raising a puppy was easy, and very fun, I'm not saying he was a greta student, or that I was a great teacher, rather that I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and was not tired out by it in the least. I had done a lot of research, and studied dog behaviour so it is fair to say that had a reasonable advantage over the average owner, but only because I put in the time and money beforehand. Everything did not always go smoothly, but even the bad moments (and they were not few and far between) were an opportunity rather than a burden. An opportunity because it was mutual teaching, I was learning from him, while I trained him.

I can say a lot of not great things about my mother, but thank goodness she introduced all of us to animals early on as a vet tech. Because I couldn't imagine being an adult and not knowing jack about owning a puppy.

Victoria has the best training methods and tips!

Currently watching this while overlooking my Collie x German Shepard with her 9 newborn puppies! Born December 18th 2023❤

this couple wanted the best for their dog, i can tell. the thing is that if you keep the dog in the cage almost the whole day, when its time to let her out, its like all that energy burst out, and all the dog was focused on was playing and letting all that energy out.

76 DAYS??!!??!!

Loved that she helped this family get the right puppy for them

19:40 aww the second lady was so excited!! That was so cute lol.

What a amazing simple but effective explanation to this kids 😊

Lollipop is just so adorable!

My biggest regret is not taking enough time and effort to training my dog as a puppy. My dog knows some things but certain things needs work.

I’m just taking aback how lightly people take getting a dog. A puppy is like a baby it needs a lot of time. The first weeks with mine were just evolving around him. Potty training, we were out eight to ten times in the day and every three hours doing the night. He was potty trained by week five with little accidents. And training a puppy is also a huge thing to do. I don’t say I did everything right by far I didn’t but he just turned two and he is in training as a Therapie dog. Of course we have problems and had them of course but we mostly enjoyed our puppy time together. I would wish for people to think more about what it means to get a dog. You can get a lot of joy but it is work, a lot of work. So just get a dog if you ready to but the work in.

My favorite dog trainer

Verry nice tactic, positive correction are always good👍🏾

I just got my puppy and this video was very helpful for me.

When Charlie comes to visit Raven...."Ouch Raven, that really hurt!" 😮

I'm so proud right now 🥺 those words made me feel so happy

my favorite episode ever!!!

Victoria! You are amazing ✨

I am astounded that the owners didn’t think that tiny crate was to small for her!

One can not help but notice the families are each very comfortably well off. Can average income families afford the have Victoria help them?

Victoria is Amazing

You could see the Trauma in ravens eyes in the last few Minutes. It's so sad she had her puppy months locked away so long.

I have had my pup since he was very young he is 8 months old now yes it was very hard at first but it’s very rewarding because we are growing together

Our Rottweiler is 12 and he's very calm (I promise not just bc he's old) Even when he was younger he never bit!

Raven is a piranha/python mix…. She comes at you nipping like a piranha and her teeth are hooked so when she latches on, you won’t get your limb back… 😂

The first couple was not ready for a puppy. If he told her he did not want one, why would she not believe him (symptom of problems in their relationship)? They have done zero training, not even bothering to housebreak Raven properly.

I don’t know how long it would be, but I think you guys should do one. We’re you go over all the puppies 🐶 tht you have on film and that Victoria has worked with These puppies are so cute and I loved 🥰 to see your advice the puppies 🐶for future possible puppy problems and to hopefully prevent it

Victoria is tops in training..❤

Great video!😸

Finally lollipop is back i have been waiting

i love jow excited the mom is😭

Beagle/Basset hound mix is a great family dog. Especially since they are set on getting a puppy! Otherwise, I would suggest that they get a grown dog that is known to be gentle with children & has lost its family.

good job everyone, Victoria, you're good 🐾💗

My partner and I have had six dogs over 40 years, and I worked for a pet supply chain which held training classes for most of those years. It is not like I don't understand how much work is involved in having and training a dog. I do. Our last dogs, a pair of dachshund/spaniel cross rescue dogs, died about three years ago, at the ages of fifteen and sixteen, of old age. I really miss having a dog and feel very lonely without one, but I am almost 80 years old, and I don't know if I can provide what a dog would need. I used to work for a cat rescue, but developed an allergy to cats, and I have had a cockatiel, but don't know if it would be fair to get a cockatiel at my age either, since they live fifteen or twenty years. We would get an older adult dog, maybe around 8 years or so, and a smaller dog, under 25 pounds, which is the size limit in our senior housing community. I am trying to decide if it would be fair to a dog to get one, or an older bonded pair so they would have company of their own species, which I think is important for a dog. I am feeling depressed not having a dog, but I don't want to get a dog for selfish reasons if I can't provide all the dog would need.

Tbh i got my first dog this year, a 2 1/2 year old rescue. Wonderful Doggo. Shes been in a room for like the first days with a baby gate. She quickly learned to jump over it. But it was just for her having some personal space for these very first scary days. She has no crate now. She is mostly in my room, lying on the floor, the Sofa or her own little House inside my room, which is not lockable. She uses it alot now. I got my rules to not bother her when inside and not touching her at all. I may call her but respect it when she doesnt wanna come. If I need her not to move, ill just close the door to my room for 2 Minutes. It works fine. But im usually not going anywhere without her so there isnt any reason for a crate. Mostly, someone is home or she comes with us. We trained her from the beginning to now follow into every room. Or let her at home or closed the door of her first room. Since we have two cats, one always around, i dont think she would feel too lonely for a short time either. We also give her something to eat, like a Kong toy or other treats that need some time to consume, to make sure shes not hella bored.

Elise pushing at the puppy with her hand often on her mouth is responding how the pupoy wants her to respond! Theyre encouraging her, ratger than having the play STOP instantly. Raven is having her behaviour reinforced!

I'm watching this, knowing full well that I'm getting 4 puppies in a month 😅 Just before I get criticism in the comments, I do have a lot of experience with dogs and have had dogs all my life living up to the old age of 17. So I know these puppies will be trained a loved unconditionally ❤️ 😊

I'm so happy the family had decided to ask a dog trainer before getting a puppy so they can understand how to properly care for a puppy! I find that most people look at dogs and go "oh it's cute, lets get it!" And don't actually understand the proper way to care for them

I love your accent Victoria, and your advice training! 🎉🎉

76 DAYS, WHYYYYYY NOT 5 MINS

Great job Victoria you you are amazing ❤

Hahahaha I love how’s she’s driving with the top down and also a winter coat

Glad I'm doing all things right!!)))) Thank you

LOLLIPOP! That name is so cute! Ugh, I'm getting puppy fever 😍😍

I was working on the leash trick with my untrained horse for a while (before I saw this episode), and since I quit Ive noticed he's getting harder to catch 😂 it just takes longer to keep doing it, but, it's with it.

During the puppy training I was melting seeing lollypop fall asleep in the dads arms

I can't believe they let their daughter bring that puppy to the table. They should have told her to take the puppy back to the pen and then taught her to understand her own behavior and how it could negatively impact her in the future.

That puppy is cures thing on the whole planet 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

no way that is a Rottweiler. mixed, maybe. that tail is a doberman tail my Dobie looked a lot like this as a pup. the muzzle is longer and I just feel this is not a Rottweiler lol I'd love to see an embark on Raven. ❤ BEAUTIFUL DOG regardless ❤

When my girl was a puppy she was a chronic nipper as she is half cattle dog half border collie so sheep herding dog so her nipping was horrendous and having younger kids in tears all the time was not good. Best thing we did was get a huge container of Vicks vapour run and covered ourselves for a few days felt so gross on but it ended the problem within A few days.

Its hilarious that in the first one the girl blames her boyfriend for not helping, when he made it pretty clear that he didnt want a puppy and that having one is a lot of work. Yet she went and got one anyway. Now you can tell she resents him for not wanting to help.

My dog only learnt when he was older. When he was a puppy he ignored us. When he got to about 2/3 he started learning tricks and also behaving. So dogs can learn new tricks. My dog learnt spin in 3 days!!

I totally agree

33:38 he looked like he was so scared of her lmao

I've loved all the dogs in my family. But oh my gosh, a trained dog is so much more pleasant to be around.

Yes now its out🤩🤩🤩

They have a huge house like that and can’t get a bigger crate? That size is fine to sleep in but if they’re in there all day they’ll need to be able to get up and turn around

This is a great episode. I only wish that Victoria had recommended that the second family maybe rescue a dog a little older, maybe 10 months to a year old. People overlook these young adults and in most cases, adopting these young adults will be more of a fit for a "new" pet owner and the housebreaking will already be in place.
