Can we just admire that fact that Victoria is always dressed like an ICON?
The icon she is 💅
She is dressed like that to make sure the dog is not scared and that she has to be serious
Hot tamale Vicky
I love the dominatrix vibes. An icon for the ages
She always looks fabulous
I'm acctually confused, they said they got him because they wanted a dog to walk, but that little dog is perfectly walkable. they could walk their small dog, who would probobly benefit from walks, and learn to enjoy them.
the wife's idea. i know it's scripted and stuff, but she should have watched her words more carefully, because when she explains the idea, she seems to be so superficial. (a desperate bored housewife)
Her little dog might not like long walks or might not be able to do those long walks. I thought the same until i put some thought into it
@@navichan3825 you got a point, but why a doberman? an undefined breed dog from a refuge couldn't have done the trick? she clearly didn't do any research before to adopt the dog, so her choice was purely based on the look, and her fantasy of "long walks in the sunshine".
@@navichan3825 If the little dog can't do long walks then they could take shorter walks, carry the dog partway, or invest in a dog stroller.
Imzadi83 FanVids i found out they also got him as a play mate and to keep her company.
Although why they picked a doberman still eludes me.
"Demonic Doberman": A huge sensitive sweetheart that just needs exercise and training and is so anxious that he pees on the floor the second his beloved daddy leaves the room.
Exactly!
Lmfao
hehehe yeah
Challenge : Describe O-Dogg from Menace II Society .
@@oneflowerninjamagic1912 O-Dogg? Is that some sort of play on words from O-block?
see i considered getting a doberman, then did my research. i realized i wouldnt be able to get one because of my heavy work schedule. DO YOUR RESEARCH dont let the dog suffer!
Honestly thoughh. I did my research and found a dog that fits my lifestyle. I am able to take care of him in all aspects of his life.
I don't get why she had a problem in the first place. Initially she said she used to spend half the day in the gym. So surely now she can just workout with her physical dog for the half the day instead. It's not like she has to work or anything. 🤷♂️
@@rainbowpanic5632 you walk him off leash through town? I bet not... Prove me wrong, I can't wait!
I walk the dogs in my hood off leash in town, their owners don't, I can and I do. Being the owner and being the leader is not the same.
"all aspects" also means being free while walking ANYWHERE... if you have a male dog, you should be able to walk him around female dogs on period without a problem.
I bet not... training will make it happen. Just start and grind, some dogs take longer time, some take shorter time, no time limit.
I wish all the owners on the show would do their research
All cred to you, wish there were more ppl like you in this world...
If she wanted to take “romantic walks” with a dog, why didn’t she just take her Shih Tzu for walks? I own a Shih Tzu and he loves going on walks! Small dogs need exercise too!
Mine too, I have two Shih-tzu mixed breeds and they would walk forever 💙
Same with my yorkie. He LOVES walks! He doesn’t like leashes really but he understands that he needs it for walks so no problem with that either. Tiny dogs are more amazing than so many people think. Not saying that tiny dogs are better, but they are the same as big dogs, just size difference!
She sorta-kinda described it that a larger dog would take longer walks. ??? Certainly an odd distinction to make when getting a new family member!
MarjaMariachi I have a frenchie and boxer and they both love walking! Archie the frenchie can keep up with the best of them 😂 Breeders really need to look at who they’re selling their dogs too 🤦🏻♀️
"for walks" they wanna Show other people Look I have a doberman
It makes me so angry that this lady wanted a bigger dog because the walks would be rOmAnTiC.
People getting pets on impulse are the worst. Do your research.
and like.. she had her small dog that STILL NEEDS WALKING. she wanted a big dog si she could have a dog to walk, when shes had one all along. little dogs do still need exercise.
Can't agree with you more! That romantic crap isn't applicable in the real world!
And dobermans are quite demanding so I have no idea why she decided on this breed.
Bailey Cooper absolutely agree
I want a dog for companionship and love to learn responsibilities and remember the good times leaving the bad memories to fade with time! Im willing to do whatever it takes to own a dog now all I need is the dog😂
On the positive side; I've never seen a Doberman with floppy ears in real life, it's nice to see it here.
Most owners or breeders crop the ears because they say it helps them hear better and lessens the chances of getting an ear infection. Some are cropped because it’s aesthetically pleasing and dog show require it.
i'm partial to the floppy ears they have so i was glad to see it. they're cuter that way. the cropped ears are for working dobermans
I saw a video of someone with a Doberman who had cropped ears in the uk, even though it’s illegal, may I ask how this is possible?
@@here4852 possibly done in another country and then brought to the UK?
@@here4852 a lot of breeders do it when they’re puppies illegally to drive up the price on Doberman’s. It’s awful. This is why people should research the breeders they’re getting their pups from :/
There's nothing "demonic" about Harvey, the poor dog just had the misfortune to land in a family who didn't think about the consequences of getting a big dog, much less a Doberman. Props to them for finally putting in the necessary work though.
Hahaha yeah exactly right its sad that by calling it that it’s completely demonising the breed and it couldn’t more further from the truth.
Exactly so
Did they get him from a dog pound?
Kudos, Victoria!
How come every single one of these shows about "wild, uncontrollable, evil" pets is literally just owners being like "*surprised pikachu* what do you mean I have to play with it?"
So true, plus all these episodes I've seen so far comes down to the owners not exercising (working) them.
What?! You mean I have to actually interact with my dog?! Never! Impossible! Dogs must train themselves! There are very rarely problem dogs, it's usually problem owners. Anorexic Rotties (as I nicknamed my dobie) need a LOT of exercise. A LOT.
How come every single video of IMOTD has a ‘surprised pikachu ‘ comment?
True
Because most people assume dogs are completely self sufficient sitting in a house doing nothing all day because people can do that. While not realizing people have tv and computers and iPhones to entertain them dogs have the people and toys and when No one is home to play and he has all this energy what is he supposed to do.
Can’t blame the dog, I would 100% hate someone who treated me like no more than a fashion accessory
That why thy cut tail of puppy just for looks
did you know they also put metal rods in their ears and cut their ears off to make them look more “aggressive”
@@orange_juice90 Metal rods in the ears? No. They cut them and tape them to cardboard. Still isnt good but there are no metal rods inserted anywhere.
Since people cut there dogs tails and ears they should also cut their babies toes see if they like that -.-
Omega Wolf well euh they do cut off skin of penises so that kinda makes your argument useless I used to prefer dogs with cropped ears I now think it’s better to not crop and I wouldn’t do it on my dogs but if other people want to do it I won’t be angry at them
What’s really fascinating to realise is that she is not a dog trainer. She is a human trainer. she has very minimal contacts with the dogs directly.
She’s both really.
I think she doesn’t interact with the dogs as much as the people is because she can’t always be there to train their dogs.
All she can do is teach the owners her methods and make it easier for THEM to train THEIR dog.
I think that’s a great approach to be honest.
@@Delilah_Anne I agree as well!
I think she has to or the dogs will love her too much. Its like "finally a human that gets me!"
That's what all dog trainers really are. If you don't train the people the dogs will just revert. And positive training is the BEST training. Even if you punish your dog with harsh methods they will still revert if you don't continue the training without a trainer. And they won't trust you on top of it.
fr
I know it’s their fault but honestly I feel good that Bil actually cares for the dog and was actually trying to makes things right .
exactly. they weren't bad people that should never own a dog ever as many commenters have said. they just needed some guidance in training. not everyone who owns a dog has had the formal education in dog training to know what to do about behavioral problems. they did the right thing in seeking help
@@lisaedwards1359 I agree completely.
why get a working dog like a Doberman if you just want to take it for walks? There's plenty of toy and non sporting dogs that can fill that role
because people look at the dog and think oh he looks nice i want this one
because this is a prime example of people who do before they think.. instead of doing research of oh what kinds of breeds would be suitable.. they just go oh this dog looks awesome let's get it.. they should have done some research before getting any dog.. like yes the little shih tzu was a good fit but those are wayy different when it comes to their needs.. my mum often buys animals impulsively too but in her case it is most always an animal she knows how to care for like a little rat.. (we've always had rats and currently have 5 of them in a big birdcage with tons of hammocks and such) my mother is also someone who would take in an animal that has nowhere else to go.. in this case it's just a case of i know i can care for the animal so go ahead (like our two stink pod turtles. the man that used to own them unfortunately passed away and they needed a new home. so my mother took them in. they are now in a big tank living happily) we also have 4 cats but this was mostly a thought trough decision (we used to have only 2 then my grandfather who got sick a few years after they got the cat so he couldn't handle having the cat around anymore so we took him in then about a year or two ago my grandmother decided to take him back seeing as my grandfather passed away 4 years ago.. however being used to 3 cats around at this point my mother decided she wanted another cat.. so we took in a little girl with knee problems the breeder wanted to breed with her at first till she found out about her problem so she wanted a new forever home for her. and knowing how well loved our cats have been over the years and still are she was happy that she had found a good home for her. however my grandmother recently diagnosed with dementia now couldn't care for her cat anymore so we were happy to take the sweetheart back)
Because their rich and she felt like spending her husbands money because lets face it thats all she does
Or get an older dog, not a puppy.
I know a lady with a 14 year old Doberman who’s always been the sweetest thing. Except when she doesn’t get her way she barks and drags her dog beds around the house so you know how angry she is. She’s really friendly with other dogs, likes to go on walks, likes people, and is good on the leash.
I genuinely don’t understand why people don’t do load of reaserch into the breed their getting!?
Why don't people do research on alot of things
@@thequeerbee2026 Because that requires work and thinking....
@Tilly Too It's called priorities......
They don’t do it for kids either. They really should have tests people have to pass before they can take care of another living being.
Rohit H What exactly are you trying to prove, that you’re acting like an a-hole troll? Because I don’t think you have to prove anything. And it doesn’t make you at all impressive. Oh, you just wanted attention, of course. Sad. Well, there ya go, hope it makes your day (and if Rohit responds, my point will be validated).
“I got a Doberman because I wanted walks to be romantic.”
.... what?
think she said walks
@@amaraamara2712 no o know that was a typo. But getting a doberman? A vicious looking guard dog? To make walks look more romantic? What?
That didn’t seem like the perfect reason just because Doberman’s are highly energetic by the way German Shorthaired Pointer would be much more suitable for her
She went for a gaurd dog instead of a family dog. I would have recommended a golden retriever but it still needs some work with the family.
@@javapever5074 That would be also suitable for her even the French bulldog
“Who can walk with a dog like this?!” Lady, I RUN with my dobermans. This dog was clearly NOT raised correctly. Dobermans are high-energy, highly intelligent dogs who need constant attention. They’re not called velcro dogs for nothing lol. When raising my first Doberman, my mother took our boy on runs while she was training for a half marathon. He stayed by her side the entire time and then as soon as she took him off the leash he would go sprinting away like “yippee I can FINALLY run at my own pace!” They’re not couch potatoes, and when not properly socialized and exercised, they get frustrated-understandably!
For everyone interested in getting a dog like a Doberman, German shepherd, or really any dog, please read “The Art of Raising a Puppy” by the Monks of New Skete. I swear, it is the reason my Doberman (the one my family raised) turned out so well. It is an invaluable resource and well worth the read.
May I ask if you’ve trained them yourself? I’m planing on getting one and I wanna be prepared, should I search for a dog trainer ?
@@katerina9159 I haven’t personally had dobermans myself so don’t just rely on this lol, but I have owned pit bulls German shepherds and Rottweilers. I have trained all my dogs myself and they all turned out fine, but you can’t be lax about it. It’s a lot of work and time. If you do choose to go with a trainer I would really recommend doing your research as these kinds of dogs respond really well to certain techniques but the whole dominant thing hasn’t ever worked in my experience. It’s just a challenge to them. Anyway I have no clue about dobermans so like I said don’t rely on my experiences lol
I plan to get a Doberman next year. I've done research . anything else i should know?
@@katerina9159 I trained my Doberman myself and I’m only 11 sooo it’s not really that hard but remover POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂 you used to go the gym for a half a day and do what? If you can't run with your dog, I really want to know what you were doing at the gym? 😅 But my goodness, as a doberman owner this makes me so sad
Why can’t people just wear practical shoes when they walk their dogs
Lol exactly
And pants...
Gillian Winterton In the words of Latrice Royale “You gotta wear some chunks!” Lol
Agreed I always wear comfortable padded sneakers when I walk a dog
None of the owners in England seem to want to wear sneakers? Odd. Is it because of the show?
there's a common theme with almost every owner featured on this show.
"I got a Doberman cause I wanted walks to be romantic"
"I got a terrier because my daughter wanted him"
"I got a terrier because she was pretty"
"My northern Inuit dog who goes on one walk or less a day is destructive and loud"
Do your research before getting a damn dog and you won't have so many issues.
Correct - these people are utter idiots.
I'm surprised by the fact that I know every episode you were referring to
yeah agreed
Ain't that the truh
Where moving houses soon and I've been looking to get a German shepard, so I've done alot of research on everything of that breed including it's personality, and everything else :)
nice to see a doberman without cropped ears!
also props to the neighbor who was willing to bring their dog to help this doberman despite its aggression and the rain!
Ear cropping is illegal in England :)
@@DeepRedBlue sweet, weird it isn't illegal in the US..
@@kellisuzuki8889 Well, tbh dober ear cropping and pitbull ear cropping are two different things. Cropping a pit's ears is actually harmful because they're cropping 80% of the ear, whereas with dobermans it's only say 10%, just enough to keep the ear standing rather than flopping over. It honestly isn't as bad as a lot of people say it is for dobermans. It doesn't affect their hearing at all and although it's purely a treatment for looks it could possibly help reduce chances of ear infections somewhat, as floppy ears tend to breed more bacteria naturally.
@@fructosecornsyrup5759 its only to make them look scary. Nothing more
@@ottopotatum5775 I will admit that is definitely a reason. But working dogs also had their ears cropped in case of a wild animal attack, or a random dog attack. The cropped ears give another animal less of an opportunity to find a vulnerable spot and tear into it, sort of like not having a long ponytail on a woman.
Why does Victoria always look like a spy lol
Like female James Bond!
she's just too cool for school
Because she is lovely, kind and intelligent!
Her: I want a big dog to do romantic walks on Sunday.
Him: let's get a Doberman.
This video should NOT be called " the demonic doberman " but "the idiots owners"
Estaban ...spot on ! totally agree !
bryn mitchell That’s why Victoria goes after the owners then the dog.
Exactly! Even Victoria told them that Harvey's bad manners were THEIR doing.
Aisnt that every episode tho?
agreed 100%
Dogs aren’t objects that you expect to act perfectly. You get them and you should expect changes in the household. You have to train them to what you desire, and it will cause trouble.
also never get a second dog that the first one doesn't like! it's so irresponsible to just buy a second dog because you want that one you like the most. a second dog has to be choosen VERY wisely.
@@Chuchichaeschtli_ so True. I have 6 dogs and 9 cats and good choince of dogs characters and personalities is key to nice family dynamics. Of course training is a basic thing but not everything can by changed by training. If We have extremely energetic dog we Will never make a couch potato out of him. People make choices with eyes not heads and often it is the dog who pays the biggest price at the end☹️
you mean OR it will cause trouble...
What works for me for any animal really, is to expect very less, work hard, then be surprised and so impatience is very rare... works fine
I would defend them on one thing. A dog’s temperament and actions can change completely from the shelter to your household. That said, you should always see how they act before you put them fully on your responsibility.
I like how Victoria is so open minded and she speaks what is on her mind, dresses boldly and seems so sassy. THE "WHO IS WALKING WHO?" LOOOOLL
That bond that Harvey has with Bill is honestly so beautiful. Wow...Talk about a dog being loyal and faithful to his owner...
Dobermanns are insanely loyal. I mean, they were bred by a tax collector 🤣 he needed a dog loyal enough to stick with him no matter what!
Back in 1986 I got a Doberman puppy... Lady. Before I got her, I did loads of research about the breed, so much so, that I planned on getting help from a dog trainer. I also prepared myself for 5 mile walks every day, rain or shine. My Lady was the best dog anyone could have... a loving family dog, a guard dog, a best friend. She gave me 13 and a half years of a devoted family member. I still miss her so much!
Stop, you're making me cry :'( absolutely beautiful.
Joe Blow
YOU got it right... A puppy BITCH.
An adult male will arrive in a new environment and look around for a pack leader.
Can't find one? "That's the job for ME!"
@@MauriatOttolink If I had bought a dog instead of a bitch, I myself would have become the pack leader. I've had dogs as well. You have to lovingly but firmly show the dog who is the boss... from day one. I've seen people get a puppy, tease it, let the kids tease it and mishandle it. I've warned them what will happen when it grows into a full size dog. And sure enough, they have serious problems as it matures.
Right? Dobermans can be amazing pets/family memebers as long as the owners knows what they are doing. I've grown up with 2, one male and one female. Both were the kindest dogs you'd meet, never showed any signs of aggression. One thing they were not though was guard dogs, especially the male. If something scared him he would actually hide behind me, knowing I'd protect him.
@@kbsskb788 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So they get a working dog for romantic walks 🤦♀️
When I got a dog I wanted a pitbull for a guard dog because there working dogs they need stimulation I have time for that do your research
Dalmatians are working dogs and they are very sweet
They want a dog that they can have a romantik time
Shut up
:^
harvey *slips his lead*
the other good bois who are just there volunteering 👁👄👁
I was literally reading this comment as that part happened 😆😂😂😂😂
Best comment in the whole section tho-
Could i Just point out something? IT IS NEVER THE DOGS FAULT IT IS THE OWNERS THAT MAKE IT LIKE THIS
Pawel Kumorek nope, Harvey is a working dog, which makes him want to run and control, dobermans are dogs who usually work on farms, and it’s his instinct to run and to lead. And, no, it’s not always the owners, I have owned countless dogs and used my Rottweiler as the example because, even if he was trained, and had great instinct, he was always aggressive, and there to finish business, we had to put him down as he’d bitten over 100 of our guests, and another example, German shepherds are working breeds, and their instinct is to run and attack, but people will eg on that behaviour, by dog fighting, do your research before you comment please.
Mostly yeah. Though that's to be expected from a show called It's Me or the Dog. 😂
There was one episode though where the lady's dogs had PTSD from being kidnapped and it wasn't the owners at all. They were really nice people, honestly. 😊
@@vintage.chestnut3669 It’s the owner’s fault for getting a working dog without doing their research on the breed. They should’ve gotten a lower energy dog that fit their lifestyle better. They can’t provide a Doberman with what it needs, and that’s on them.
I disagree slightly but agree for the most part. Some breeds are far more predictable than others for a myriad of reasons. Rescue dogs have a propensity to be more obedient. I have had large dogs being Dobermans, Rottweilers and Boxers - all rescue dogs. Very calm, loving and protective without people feeling threatened. Purchased a Staffy from a Breeder at 10 weeks, had her vaccinations completed as quickly as possible and then had her complete socialisation and training. I still have her, she is seven now, but she has been by far the most unpredictable dog I have owned. I will never take chances with her. She is incredibly well behaved for the most part and loves humans but smaller dogs sporadically have been an issue. As a result she cannot be off leash on walks as she cannot be trusted not to harm other peoples' pets. I wish I could decipher how she reacts to certain dogs why she does but her behaviour puzzles me in that she seems to target some poodles and not others. Can't risk it. It makes me feel sad for her but I don't want her to put another dog's life at risk.
Like, 98% of the time it IS the owners fault but sometimes, very rarely it can be something with the dog.
That cameraman gotta be the bravest person ever.

So not funny.
All because that woman wanted a bigger dog, WELL YOU GOT ONE NOW YOU DAFT WOMAN!!!
She bought that dog because she wanted romantic walks. So she got him as an object expected to do as they say. That is not how it works, you should expect changes, you should expect hard work. And you should ALWAYS see if your new family member gets along well with your current dog. That is just cruel.
RainbowRose 769 i know, it baffles me that people think dogs are accessories and not living beings that need direction and training.
Training a Dobermann has to start at the very beginning when he first comes in to your house. These dogs are incredibly intelligent and they’re going to use that to their advantage
Yup. There are very few breeds more easily trained than a dobermann, and they're also easy to train badly. Mine learned the toilet command the same night he came home at 7 weeks old. It took my mother longer than that and for weeks she kept saying "does he need the toilet?" "he'll need to go to the toilet in a minute" "when did he last go to the toilet?", so for weeks, every time she said it he just instantly peed. On the carpet, the sofa, me, her, the other dog. So of course my mum would start yelling "no!" and I was telling her not to use either word 😂 I still miss him
victoria's fashion sense is so iconic her car, dress and everything.
I almost had a panic attack when he started running towards the other dogs, but felt relived when he came back
Yeah shows how scared he really was. He started running out of instinct and then after a split second thought oh no I'm scared I don't know what to do, I'm going back to Daddy.
@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 😂 no but really it's true
That's why my dog-reactive dog wears a muzzle.
I love how Harvey is just sitting and listening to Victoria telling them how to handle their leashes as if that lesson was for him too 10:25 😂🤣
Its a working dog!
Shes holding a leash.. Leashes means walkies, most dogs have a pretty strong reaction to them lol bless them
If you have a dobermann, don't ever think it's not listening to every word. If it could talk it'd be there later, pointing out every thing you ever said and did: you to your partner "you never told me about..." your dobermann "actually Dave, on the 17th of October, at 19:32, as the horlicks ad was ending, s/he said..."
Him: He's too physically strong.
Me: Welp, you didn't think this through did ya?!
Growing up I had two dobermans, male and female, in a 2 bedroom, Size of an apartment house. And both of them were very good dogs, the female was playful and loved to go outside, and the male was a gentle and protective teddy bear. Both were amazing dogs to have around and I plan to get a doberman once I can get my own place with a yard.
PSA please don’t get a Doberman on a whim without researching and carefully considering if you’re ready for the responsibility. My stepdads son got one for his son as a manly status dog that cost thousands of dollars. Poor dog was given away at 8 months because he was out of control, aka they didn’t pay attention to him or teach him. They just left him in the backyard all day after he wasn’t a cute puppy anymore.
I hate people like that
Melissa , me too. Makes me really sad, he was such a sweet dog. They chopped his ears and tail off and didn’t even keep him. Absolutely disgusted by people who hurt their dogs for appearance.
@@xoxopuppies12xoxo What's more bad is that most dogs have already been tortured to look a way. Like pugs who were breed badly so they looked cute when show dogs were becoming a thing a long time ago. Those poor pugs who have pushed in faces, breathing problems, and curly tails.
Any dog really
My neighbors do the same with their Rottweiler. It makes me so sad because he could be such a good dog, but he’s really aggressive with other dogs now. I have 3 dogs so I’m really scared he’s gonna get through the fence. He’s really sweet with people though, I like to give him hotdogs and dog treats sometimes lol
When they were socializing Harvey I couldn’t stop watching that German Shepherd heeling so adorably
Me too!!! I mean damn!!! Every other dog in these videos whom they meet are appropriately trained not wrecking havoc!!!!😒
Although Doberman is my favorite dog breed and I really want one, I have done enough research to realize that a Doberman would not be happy with my current lifestyle or experience :')
And I still don't know why other (adults) people don't the same??? 😂 🤔
Because everyone doesn't know what you know. Don't be sanctimonious.
same! i live in an apt, not that active and imma first time dog owner so a doberman would not fit me at all
@@trawlins396 It takes a few hours to find out if a dog is right for you lol. It's no quantum physics.
@@idk-qs5pj that's not true. Not at all. When a dog is still a puppy (no matter the breed) a lot seems doable.
There will be time in your life to have a perfect Dobie. When you retire, you need to get one when you are home, have nothing to do and for companionship. They make the very best dogs but do need to constantly have training and to do different things with you to keep their minds from getting bored.
My family fostered dobermans for a long time. They truly are dogs that if you give an inch will take a mile. That said they are so loving! I'm glad that he is getting the training he needs!
*Bored rich woman buys smart, athletic dog knowing nothing about the breed and their purpose/behaviour* WhAt CoUlD gO wRoNg
Ikr? ー_ー
I know. If you are in your right mind no matter if u did research or not. You just know these beautiful dogs need training and attention
😂😂
They were bred for personal protection so shouldn’t they be taken with you on walks????? I mean I take mine....
They have such a nice house
Me and my doberman are watching this episode together at the moment. He is training to assist me as I am disabled and have PTSD. I got so ill and couldn't do as much as I wanted with his training but he helps me so much every day. He has his good citizen s gold award and hopefully in the future his public access award to. 🤞 They are an incredible breed with so many quirks but they can be stubborn and hard work at times! I wouldn't give mine up for anything. These people didn't have a clue 🤦 training from a young age with these guys is vital
Lucy A, I wanted to treat my Dobies up for the same thing. One was unfortunately born with a terminal, congenital condition that couldn’t have been diagnosed earlier, and she was the one who would have been more suited to being an assistance dog. Her sister ended up being a little more high-spirited and head-strong. She’s still a good dog but she’d probably make a better protection dog. That being said, she still likes to be of assistance and has been known to hand hubby the washing to hang out, help me clear plant-life out of one of our fish ponds and other tasks that she picks up by observation. Love my Dobie :D
I have a service dog Doberman. He helps me function in public due to my autism, and can help with panic attacks and lead me out of a building if needed. Its a shame to see owners who have no idea what they are doing ruin such a great (and potentially amazing) breed. Its also even more sad to learn that after Victoria left, the family did not keep up with their training, and Harvey went right back to being awful. Grounded rules, straightforward commands and repetition is pretty much essential for all working class breeds, especially ones who can be more stubborn and alpha minded. These people had no idea what they were getting into. A Shih Tzu is no where near close to the level of training and leadership a Doberman needs.
I had a spinal injury as a young adult and struggled to stand and walk. Our family dobie, with no training , would walk along side me and help to support me. I'd tell her where we were going and she'd patiently take me the whole way. Such an angel; I was shocked to see a dobie act like this because that's not my experience with the breed at all. Both of ours were shelter rescues, and I don't think they were treated well before they came home with us.
Okay?? No one asked

"We wanted a dog we could take on romantic walks, a big dog."
So, you got a fighting military working dog meant to attack enemies in the military and also meant to be a guard dog?
A bulldog, a german shepard, a husky, a boxer, even a mastiff would have worked, but you chose a doberman.
Bruh.
Shepherds and Huskys are also working breeds, shepherds are also used for guarding... Still most dogs are jobless and simple family pets
They should have gotten a Lab. (Jan Griffiths).
They should have just taken that poor Shih Tzu out for walks. Seriously, small dogs need walks as well, why get a new dog, let alone a working breed?
Teenage boxers or mastiffs would be a mess in this household. They're no less of a working dog, though the work was a little different. they can be rather heavy (my boxer had ca. 50 kg in his prime , my dogo canario mix now is lighter than him) and compared to some other breeds (in my experience) they need a bit longer to 'get' things in training .
They are a dream to be with when trained, but they can be a f*ing tank if they aren't. They do have a more independent streak and if not properly tained run all over you, they can be rather "unfriendly" towards everyone (dogs, people,children, cats, chickens) coming your way and you most definitely do not want a boxer or any of the bully breed to grow protective.
For a family it is probably good that they are a little less bound to one person more to their home/family, but if you've got "luck" and get one with stronger working drive they most definitely need to be handled by someone who knows what they're doing. With boxers you could get a couch potato, but you can also get a highly energetic, protective dog that gets destructive if not exercised correctly. It depends on the breeder of course but even dogs from the same line can vary in "bulldozerness" and working drive.
If she wanted a bigger dog that's a people pleaser and relatively easy to train, maybe a big poodle might be a good choice. While of course they also come from a working dog background , poodles have been bred as pure companion dogs for such a long time and do really well as companion dogs. If you cut the hair short they also looks similar sleek, which is probably something she liked about the Dobermann.
However of course the smartness and energy of a poodle comes with the "downside" that you need to keep them busy.
They could've bought a golden retriever

I agree ☝️
I have a new bull mastiff puppy as my EBT died of old age a couple of years back. Manners is totally the right description 😆 I'd forgotten about the basic manners you need to teach your pup, from jumping up to socialising with other dogs and humans. Totally worth the effort and dogs are eager to please. But yes, good manners from a dog are a must. 👍

@@canbofei4518 people need to know how to take care of dogs!
When I was a kid, one of our neighbors had a Doberman. He was actually a sweetheart. From what I hear, they love to stay close to their people, and often tend to end up lap dogs.
10:29 this clearly shows how to be Leader to your dog.
Harvey is just looking up to Victoria
Look how focused Harvey is on Victoria.
Harvey really loves the training. 😀
My mom was protected by her Doberman as a child when her house was being robbed. The guy ran away. Dobermans can be great dogs.
They are, but they must have owners who are in charge. Otherwise this is what you get.
True!
depends what gender, males are less alert & females are more alert
Males mature at 4 & Females mature at 2
@@amurderofdrunkcrows2587 our lab is decent if someone is at the door. She has quite a deep bark so people think she's a rottie or another big dog.. She'll probably also hump any intruder to death. She was in season a couple months ago and started humping one of our male sheep in the field.. the look on the sheep's face was hilarious.
Yes agree. They are a lot of work and training!
Actually the Shih Tzu called Victoria for help with Harvey. Geeezzz!
ikr that poor little thing.
I've never seen a Doberman with floppy ears. But him running is super cute.
Dobermans are smart, athletic dogs. If they aren’t trained well, they can become very hard to raise. This lady clearly knows NOTHING about how to raise and train a Doberman.
And this breed is meant to go on runs, not walks, no wonder why he’s so energetic.
There's a guy that works upstairs from me that brings his Doberman to work quite often. Best behaved dog I have ever seen. He takes it to the park across the street a few times a day (I can see it out of my office window) and plays fetch with him for 10-15 minutes and lets him run.
One day the guy showed up with his Doberman *and* a pug. Damn pug was just as well behaved. He took them both to the park, and as soon as they got to the street, both sat down in unison and waited for the command to cross. Darnedest thing I've ever seen.
@@Nothing-zw3yd that's... interesting lol
Exactly, you’d expect a woman, who “used to be able to go to the gym for half a day”, to be athletic enough to go on runs and do other training. It’s not like she has anything else to do either.
It always absolutely bewilderes me that these people don’t wear proper shoes when going on walks
So thanks for the likes my dudes, but the comments have gotten out of hand, If you want entertainment I recommend reading them XD
Ester Shelby What’s your idea of proper shoes.
Danielle Dewitt I would imagine walking dogs with sneakers or tennis shoes would make walking a bit easier than with heels or flats. You need good grip on the ground with your heel weighing perfectly on the ground.
Ester Shelby You mean trainers.
@@danielledewitt1 yeah, means the same as what I said just different accent.
Ester Shelby In winter I walk my dog with my ugg boots on.
this dog is the sweetest thing on earth just look how he treats the husband but he wan't properly trained. don't call him demonic :(
Yes, lovely Dobie. With the right training he can be perfect.
remember he treated tha husband different from tha wife n tha wife was scared of him
I have 7 dogs. 6 Yorkshire terriers. 1 doberman. Yorkies bully the dobies. My boy is getting better when we see other dogs. When out with my husband, he is good as gold. With me he is on guard duty. Watching everyone, and more aware of the other dogs. He is my boy, love him to bits. Good job I’m strong with him.
i'm gonna tell you this one time don't wear heels while walking a dog meant for guarding ya house
They lived a relatively stress free existence.
Until they got Harvey.
Then Victoria fixed everything, because Victoria is a dog god.
Dog goddess.
@@grekoy And general goddess.

This poor woman cannot spend half the day at the gym and then go do some shopping?! My god! What third world type of hell hole is this non employed woman dealing with?
😂😂😂😂
@Some Guy To be fair, this woman IMMEDIATELY inspires a lot of venom. Those first few minutes are not flattering in the least.
Meanwhile, there are people who have to sell their bodies just to survive...
Bloody hell they must have some money.
Literally my exact thought when she said that. Like, oh, you poor little lamb.
She has no business owning a big working dog. She has the emotional intelligence of a fruit fly and I have no idea what that guy sees in her.
I grew up with Dobermans and GSDs, and people always laughed when they saw a little girl walking big, "dangerous" dogs. It's literally not hard.
You want a big dog who you can have romantic walks with go for a golden retriever, Doberman, Rottweilers ans German shepherds are GUARD dogs, they are meant to protect
that's not always the way to go about it. for instance poodles are hunting dogs, but they are great family dogs too so they make perfect pets. they love walks and hiking and such. just because they are a hunting dog doesn't mean that you should not have one unless you intend to hunt with them. many guard dog breeds make good family dogs too. they have that strong loyalty and protective nature towards their family. it's all in the training.
I was literally gonna comment this
I love the way he act when she support him outside! His hole body language changed! I always talks to my dog outside.... ❤️❤️❤️
It never fails to amaze me how women walk large active dogs while wearing heels, sandals, fashionable boots or flats with no traction whatsoever. I mean really.
Yeah, I don't get it either (and I am a girl).
I'd literally 100% break my ankle
If you train your dog well it shouldn't be too hard
Our lab is quite large, as a pup she used to pull but we did the training to make her walk properly on a leash.
And skirts/ dresses instead of pants/ trousers
Can we just appreciate how good this family did in training?better than some we have seen
Hell raising sterotype? Some of the smartest most athletic dogs I have ever known.
I see a lot of negative comments slating this couple but fair play to Bill for training him to come. I honestly thought Harvey was going to savage those other Dogs when he slipped his lead.
12:10 doesn't anybody else see the stuffed tiger that is making him bark?
they are obviously taunting the poor dog.
Good spotting
Not until you saw it what a good eye!
Lol
Omg maybe ok this is just a theory but maybe they made the dog do all you the cutscenes to make it all dramatic but in the actual videos he really did have a little problem
Where? I have bad eyesight :T
3:29 wow...Victoria is not scared of dogs even when they try to attack her...what a woman! 😱💕
What a man
I remember on one of the videos she said she's been doing this for 10+ years so obv she's not only brave, she just knows what to do.
it's the best way to deal with mad dogs, if you panic/scream/run or do anything unexpected to these dogs they get more mad because they thought you did it as a threat to them so they attack worse, you should stay calm
Frappelychee I would marry her even though I'm only 35. I would be proud to walk around with that cougar
@@spankthemonkey3437 you act like a 13 year old stereotypical furry

I'm so happy for Harvey I'm crying tears if joy for Harvey.
Atleast she’s getting her exercise in since she can’t go to the gym anymore 😂
Dobermans are not a dog for a begginers or inexperienced owner.
Very clever dogs that need and enjoys a consistent training with discipline and praise, strict but fair. Its a working dog and needs to work. The doberman will be your best friend if you do this.
I walk a adult male doberman, he's very well trained and a pleasure to walk and play with, if he doesn't like you he plays games and trolls you. Previous dog walker who was worried about him found this out.
You said it...I have owned several Dobermans and trained some for people (and other breeds) and that is one thing about the dog. They are not a good dog for beginners unless they start with a puppy and are willing to get the help of a trainer. Also, they are smarter than some of the dumber humans I know. They will mess with the head of those that they know do not have their best interest at heart or that fear them (or that they just do not like). Even my wife has problems at time giving commands and I have to remind her to never command with a question mark (like...heel? or sit? ). Then she remembers and will be more confident and he listens just fine because my current Doberman loves my wife to death. They need consistent, firm training, rewards and above all appreciation (and no doubt who is in charge). If my male Doberman Banzai thinks he can get over on you...he will. I consider him a great judge of character. One other thing, Dobermans have a habit of bonding with one member of the family (like velcro) and its up to the family to make sure he bonds with everyone.
@@stuarth4296 you might understand this, the doberman I walk picked me, were friends, he knows I will take him on a walk and play and then home for a back scratch and belly rub, the dog will sit on my foot and stick to me like glue when we're together, the owner jokes that I'm his best friend and he likes exploring places with me, I take him out all day when I can, he's very well behaved, follows commands and no stress, he's 8 so he's chilled out a bit? I'm not a expert but I get on well with dogs and good owners teach me stuff.
But they Looks so cute!
You are absolutely right! We've always had dogs in my family, but never a Dobermann. When I moved out of my parent's house and got my first dog and I got a Dobermann. I thought I knew what I was doing, but he proved me wrong. Every day is a learning day with him. He's now 12 years old ❤
Doberman was one of my first dogs and I have been doing pretty fine so far, he’s the best, well behaved dog I’ve ever owned.
I would just say don’t get one if you know nothing about dogs, if you’ve researched them you’re probably ok
I got so scared when Harvey slipped his lead off. Phew!
My 3rd dog is a Doberman and when you take the time to give them the attention they need and the exercise, socialization (generally every dog needs this to be the best pets they can be!) they are amazingggg pets . They’re so loving and truly loyal
My heart stopped beating for a second when Harvey slipped out 😱
My mom had a Dobie named Harvey, he was a already part of the family when I was born. He also had uncropped ears but he was red. She got him from friends after he ate their brand new leather couch lol. I remember him to be an amazing dog, he was a great friend to me during my childhood ♡
The old western music when Victoria first walks up killed me 😂
I was so nervous for a second when she brought the others dogs in at the park, but then it worked out nicely!!
that’s great!!
also with their smaller dog at home omgg I was scared lol but so glad there was great improvement.
love themmmm:)
I love the way Victoria speaks on the point ❤️ She's just amazing 🙌✨💕
I’m amazed how fast dogs can learn, even when grown up.
yeah when people say they are too old to learn. you learn as you live.
"what problem have i created?"
literally all of them by getting another dog when you had no freaking reason to tbh
Jane got on my nerves she did no research on the breed and just assumed she'd be able to swan off and leave the dog and all would be fine. Dogs need consistentcy and perseverence with training and boundaries and the second you stop doing that the problems begin.
Lucifer666 not only that her reason made no sense She wanted to get a new bigger dog to take on walks and romantic Even though she already has a dog (thats smaller)

I'm learning so much from your videos, thank you so much!
Stop trying to walk a working breed, large framed dog in sling back pumps would be my first recommendation.
Pimmy11 yup I have a chest harness for my GSD/Dobie/Rott and the lead is from the front of her chest. Safer for her neck. Thing is.... these dogs are like security guards and their instinct is to get in front of you to make sure you’re safe. A long lead goes a long way... and the clicking noise from my retractable leash inadvertently clicker-trained my dog, so I can easily “reel her in.”
My thoughts exactly. Wear sensible footwear to walk a large untrained dog
I have a large red pit bull and I have walked her in heels, flip flops, house slippers, and of course my sneakers. I spent a lot of time teaching her to behave on her leash. She does not pull or lunge, she paces beside me, I can even drop her leash and she’ll stay there until I pick it up again. If you put in the time you will be able to do this with any dog.
@@m8trxd Be very careful with that retractable leash. Those things snap really easily.
Lc05 retractable leash is more for other people’s comfort. She doesn’t really need to be on one.
Everyone else when there's problem with their marriage: gets counselling
This family: decides to get an energetic dog
Me: what the fu-
Friends of my parents adopted a rescue Dobermann who was abused and was so scared and agressive. They are firm people and dispite beëing a petite woman, the mother is now a teacher and knows about borders. The dog is growing very old now. He seems to have dementia and is returning to his scared behaviour, but for many years he was a great dog for the family. He went from scared and agressive to a playmate for their girl. Amazing to see.
P.s. I love how all dogs have natural ears. My friends' dog had his ears and tail illegaly removed by his previous owners.... So sad to see

these should have been 40 minute episodes. there is a lot of ground that could be explored and a lot of advice to give. Its basically the same kinda stuff every episode but with a longer one, you could give a lot more info on breed, more context to the problems, better analysis and what to look for, ethical concerns about certain assumptions or common mistakes or training techniques. The list goes on.
I guess I just want TV to be a bit more substantive but for a light entertainment show from the 00s, its fine haha Still enjoy it :)

Training my doberman was one of the most difficult and trying experiences I've ever had, but we got there in the end. Lots of dominance, command, both voice and stature and you get respect. Give anything away and they're all over you.
couple's like this give me plenty of work in australia as a trainer because they buy a dog based on looks and not what suits them and their living needs, they love them during the puppy stages and don't train them until BAM they enter the teenage years and start pushing their boundaries
... and then many of them end up in the shelters with the label "aggressive" or "unadoptable". There really should be a licensing procedure for potential pet owners (not only dogs, all pets), similar to how you need to get a driver's license before being allowed on a public road.
Come to think of it, a Reproduction License would be good, too.
Yup, my whole career as a trainer is dealing with people who have gotten in over thier heads with dogs they cant handle.
I don't understand people. Training my dobermann puppy was simply the best feeling in the world. And even when he was an old boy I loved our daily training time. We did tricks and games and puzzles, and then we'd cuddle on the sofa, both of us having enjoyed every minute of it. How do people not enjoy that?
@@phillipaengels2709 Absolutely agree, Training is extremely rewarding and fun. Especially when you start seeing the results and the gleam in their eye when they trying to impress you.
I miss my Doberman so much. She passed away from a common problem that purebred Dobermans get called DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). Enlarged heart, heart congestion. These dogs are SO easy to train and are the most loyal breed, I swear they are angels on Earth !
