      ​@@telia4268 pretty much every problem you see here has to do with dogs and the way they behave. When Gloria steps in and trains these dogs, a large part of it involves using food to trick them into good behavior. I have friends who use the same approach with their dogs, they will get their dog to behave one moment, only for them to revert to their original behavior when they're not around or when someone new shows up, or any other reason. Either these dogs don't really understand us or what we want from them (disproving half the platitudes I hear about dogs), or they don't care what we want from them and will take the first opportunity to do what they want instead (disproving lots of the other platitudes out there).

      ⁠@@sodapopjones260I like a lot the way you explained it “tricking the dog into good behavior” that’s exactly the problem with modern dog training techniques. When rewards comes in to solve behavior issues, it stops being communication, it’s just tricking the dog through its instincts. That’s why most of them revert, it’s an unconscious process, plus it is unnatural and requires a human in it to be successful.

      Though Victoria chooses to address the dog actually. One example: there was no need of food, the dog smelled the leash and had no problem with it, the owner holding the leash was the actual scary thing😂 she made it seem like the leash was the problem, instead of actually teaching the owners not to chase after the dog if they want to catch it, basics of animal handling.

      Yes! We can have a total of 5 animals. Any mix of dogs and cats is fine, as long as there are no more than 5 total. When you have too many, it's difficult for them all to get their emotional needs met. I am a pet sitter and dog walker. One of my clients has seriously evaded the rules and has 7 cats and 3 dogs, all indoors. I was quite concerned the first time I met them. I was told how many animals they have up front. They've been my clients for more than two years whenever they go out of town. Luckily, there are 4 children over the age of 10. The house never smells. The dogs are actually trained in the basic commands, and they seem emotionally secure. But if they didn't have the kids all tending the animals, along with the adults, I can't imagine the chaos there would be! Their level of good care of the animals is, actually, impressive! It's a relaxed, happy home. I'm happy with our two little dogs. That's enough for my husband and I.

A pack of dogs has been part of my long-time dream for as long as I can remember, but I know how much effort has gone in to training my ONE rescue dog so that is a good while off yet!! While it takes a lot of self restraint because I quite literally want all the dogs, I could never put my partner through that - he has the patience of a saint, but I don’t know how Jeff hasn’t cracked up yet 😔

      Jeff reasoned his not helping by saying that he was afraid that if he’d helped out more, Melissa would have just gotten another dog thinking they could handle more, meaning that the only reason she wasn’t getting another one was the chaos.
      So basically the deal was that even if the chaos would stop, she would still not get another dog.

    That walk training at the end is 100% how I taught my late bb how to walk on a leash. He still pulled a little every now and again when he got real excited, but mostly he spent 11 years walking nicely with me. He walked so well with me I could close my eyes and he'd keep us both going straight (because he'd be walking at my hip so evenly).
    I have a new pup now, we just took our first walk (he's a 2 year old chihuahua lol) and once he's confident with going out for walks, I'm sure I'll need to do that walk-turnaround-walk-repeat method with him too - he's got lots of energy. :D

She decided to go and get them, she is not listening to anything he has to say about him being uncomfortable and not feeling like its his house even so it's not fair to blame him.

    I've had up to 12 dogs at a time. It was before spay neuter laws became common. There were so many stray dogs and I know if I took them to the pound they would be killed.
    I started out with one dog I found. Then I went to the dog pound and got him a friend. I didn't realize how many more dogs I would find and how quickly.
    I moved from the Midwest to the West coast. I did not see that many stray dogs in the midwest. Maybe it's because they freeze to death in the winter.
    Set up a very predictable order for daily activities. Pups got fed in the same order, etc. everyone got at least 10 minutes of training every day.
    The training was surprisingly easy. The new dog would see one of the established dogs receiving a treat for sitting when asked to sit. Many times the new dog would spontaneously start offering a sit.
    I made sure that they had to go through at least two gates to get to the street. And at least two doors in the house to get out into the yard.
    When I laughed, I would hear tales thumping all over the house.

My group consists of a 13 year old husky, 2 year old husky Rottweiler mix, 3.5 year old pit mutt, a 2.5 year old large mutt full of huntung and herding breeds, and the newest a smaller puppy maybe around 8 months (found her dumped so not sure on exact age) and shes only 30 pounds so gonna stay the smallest of the group.

      The husband is resentful that she just kept getting dogs after he told her repeatedly no more dogs. She just did it anyway. He seemed to not mind one maybe two but she just kept doing it. He obviously doesn’t like the dogs because of this. I know first hand when your partner bullies you into bringing an animal into the house that you don’t want everything the animal does is infuriating to you. And it’s not the animals fault it’s the humans fault for bullying the other person. The woman doesn’t understand what dogs need. And she uses the dogs as some emotional crutch. Maybe she wants kids and husband won’t give her kids or she can’t have them. Or who knows. She does the job of feeding and cleaning up. But she didn’t bother to train them at all. Which having a bunch of untrained dogs running around my house like it’s a damn shelter ehh. The house probably stinks, the kitchen is unsanitary, the bed probably stinks.
