Victoria loves cars, man. The cars she was driving in the early seasons with the leather outfits were epic.
The corvette. I know that was cool
Yes! I totally thought it would be fitting if she drove up to this couple in her old school Corvette, but, I guess she can only drive it in Anerica.
I got the feeling she ditched the 'vette & leathers because it was starting to make her look like a dominatrix. Sometimes she was even cracking a leather belt, what was that about?! I'm glad they toned down her image to suit her philosophy as a trainer (and I'm glad her philosophy evolved away from the "pack leader" mentality to pure positive reinforcement).
@@dietotaku In her books and on her blogs. She discusses why the change in training! which I personally found very interesting and you may as well!. It is because the dominance/pack theory was completely debunked (among other studies that have come out as well) It is really neat. Also I think you are correct about the potential for the dominatrix vibe esp with the BDSM community's rise in recent years due to their outcry at the Falsehoods of 50 shades of Grey.
The Jaguar
Sighthounds are a bit like cats. Quiet and sensitive, they can be sweet and affectionate, but require gentle handling. However, every so often, for a few moments, they are pure chaos.
That is a good analogy, I like it. 🙂
just like people with adhd...like me.. cause i would know.
But on the hunt they are fearless dedicated and focused they are amazing dogs
That owner was so dedicated to help that dog face its fear! Probably the best owner I’ve seen on this show!
To bad the guy isn't
Not that long ago I discovered the ”happy hoodie” and that helped a lot for big noises end when my dog is nervous. He calmes down mutch faster. I used it when there whas fireworks yesterday, normale he cowards away with a lot of panting and now he whas still a bit worried, but he relaxed mutch faster, he stopped hiding himself, he even took food out of my hand.... so mutch better. Such a relief
Hopefully it works for Nelly, cus I think they ordered one!
I tipped the same thing in yesterday's video and someone replied. 😯
I knew about the happy hoodie thanks to "girl with the dogs" grooming videos.
@@polespinosa4858 I also know it from ”girl with the dog’s” and it does help a lot, i also supplement my dog with zylkene recommended by the vet, it also has a positieve effect on him without having a dosy or druged dog, but is expensive. What people do for their loving pet
Thanks for confirming a theory I had! I'm definitely getting some for my family's dogs, idk if the fireworks scare them so much as they think it's some kind of danger they need to guard us from, but either way it seems like a stressful experience for them so I thought maybe happy hoodies would help since they wouldn't have to hear as much. I'm glad she decided to sell them!
@@sweetsirenaine it worked with my dog, I do recommend you to test/train them, so they can handle the fact that they have something around their head and ears, i used a sleeve of a t-shirt before i buyed the hoodie, I also give him Zylkene(supplement), put the tv on loud, because he’s actualy not afraid of loud noices only thunder and fireworks and i also cover the winows... I do think it depends on the dog’s personality and his training. Good luck
omg from Girl with Dogs right ? My other favourite !
One of the most dedicated owners I have seen on this show. You can tell she's devoted to that lil furry noodle 💜
Not the furry noodle 💀😂
@@Marilynnnn the noodeliest of noodles
That dog and her family are very lucky to have each other. It's an great situation and they are building confidence every day. It's a pleasure to see them tackling things that limit everyone's enjoyment and family life. I wish all adoptions went this well.
I'm really glad to see this, it validates my own experience with my dad's Dutchie, who probably has car trauma. From my experience, purebred rescues have often had bad experiences and require more patient and seasoned owners to care for them properly.
Does the husband realize that his wife feels about Nellie the same way he feels about the car.
My rescue whippet loves to ride in the car. He is from TX and I live in the Midwest. He is totally amazing.💕
Pareil pour mon Galgo Espagnol,Roméo. Il adore aller en voiture🥰❤
She's adorable
At the beginning of the video, I felt so bad seeing as the dog’s tail is between her legs, showing great fear and discomfort. In the end, I’m glad they were able to to help her. 😇
whippets are naturally built like that.
@@305.newbia not really, because towards the end of the video, her tail was up
@@Hoi_m8 Just because you see a sighthound with its tail behinds its legs doesn't always mean it's nervous or scared. They are just built like that, now this dog was very nervous tho :)
Nelly is a beautiful fur baby 🥹💐💖
It broke my heart seeing how upset Kim was around losing her Dad and then not being able to help Nelly 💐
This owner truly loves her dog ❤
I had a neighbor who has whippets. Both are very lovely and very cute, stealing kisses whenever they meet me and my parents. They love car rides too.
I think as long as each person is willing to play the long game patiently, it’s totally fine to work with Nellie on this. Many dogs can overcome phobias, and it may help her in a number of future circumstances-storms, for instance. Hopefully they can take separate cars or just the regular one on their trips in the meantime. Each of them has their focus in retirement-the wife has Nellie and the husband has his car. I think that’s fine! It’s nice to see Mike bond with her more. A dog built like a machine for speed may have a lot in common with his interests in vehicles, actually. There are many ways to tie their appreciations for what they love together, and there are plenty of easy compromises to suit both parties while they work on this with Nellie and bond further with her.
"I feel a big failure because I can't fix him." Heartbreaking. :(
What a beautiful, sweet dog, and such nice owners.
Finally a whippet 😍
Nelly is such a precious, gentle, beautiful dog, and her owners are really good and nice people! Victoria is great, as always, love her!!
They need to get that cutie some doggie ear muffs 🥰
A happy hoodie would help :)
I’m Kim too. I love that Kim was working with Nelly before Victoria came.
Thanks so much for everything you’ve brilliant ❤❤
Im glad that Victoria got to help the sweet dog! 🐶
That is so cool such great pup parents and thank-you as I haven't had a problem with my dogs on car rides even in my loud volkswagen but it did help me as far as walks because my German shepherd terrier mixed is so afraid of walks and I never once thought about motions and loud noises so now I'll be able work with him see if I can improve his walks thanks for all that you do Victoria!
She is a beautiful Lady. Such a gentle soul.
Loved this show ☺️. Learning with beautiful souls 🥰
Happy New Year’s Eve Victoria! 🥳🥂🥳🥂🥳
Most beautiful dog ever 😳🥰
Great video!
Not a dog person… 😮 lady, RUN 😂
I have lived with Whippets for getting close to twenty years. They are each individual when it comes to riding in a vehicle.
If I was planning to force my Whippet to accept the hotrod I would want them crated with matting below and around the crate situated behind the drivers seat with the front opening facing the passenger door.
If she was more cocooned in the back I think it would cause less anxiety. Soft blankets and a bully stick.
Less view and more support.
Oh my goodness this dog is very catlike!
Beautiful dog! And That Car, wow - I am as green as the car with envy!! :)…
Love dog and cat 🐕🐈
This is what you call good owners
Great episode! And this is off topic, but I thought a bear in the dogs on 13:35 😂
My Airedale terrier mix puppy is also part whippet so this video was helpful since she gets car sick
Unfortunately car sickness isn’t something that’s trainable, purely genetic and individual based.
Those people seem lovely
Poor thing
Methinks the word whippet has a different definition in the states than it does in England lmao
Did Victoria just pull that toy out of her bust?????
this episode does make me wonder if the body shape/build of sight hounds like her has the side effect of not being great at balancing in general in terms of standing still. i know they are great runners but i wonder if it came at a cost to them if that makes sense as i know that most of the extremes of dog shapes like the dascand, have issues as a result.
You may be onto something - my whippy hates not being on a solid surface, at one point he wouldn’t even walk over a wobbly manhole cover or wobbly tiles on the road. Also really scared of agility equipment that wobbles, he immediately jumps off of it.
Right theyre like all lung
What a beautiful dog ❤️ And finally this channel got 1.25M subs. I hope more people subscribe to this channel to make it bigger and bigger.
I don't allow my pup a full open window it's not safe or good for his health...i am hopeful he grows out of being carsick...a bit difficult to train a service dog that can't go on outings ...lol
For me the car easy no question period final that's it positive 100%
I've never gotten the thing about marriage and it's your dog it might be their dog however you're also living in the same house the dog doesn't have a choice why not help train help clean up after and feed the animal whether you like it or not you are a family now and I'm sure your spouse would appreciate it and why not do something small like play with their pet to make them happy
Not everyone really wants a pet though so they agree as long as the other person takes care of it
Maybe the answer is here somewhere, but would livevto know how and from what kind of materials the bed is made. Maybe I can make or search something like it for my dog who doesn´t like car rides and throws up from out of fear and nerves.
yet another owner that insists on cramming the dog into their own lifestyle choices instead of either adjusting their lifestyle to suit the dog or getting a dog better suited to their lifestyle. what, just because mike's overcompensating with his car, his wife & dog have to be along for the ride? god forbid mike just go camping in a normal car or chill out at home?
my thoughts exactly! drives me nuts seeing this time and time again! i don't think this dog is right for them personally.
my own dog isn't social and i don't force her into social situations as i know its not good in the short or long run. there comes a time when you need to accept the pet for who they are, NOT what you want them to be! i am not a social person myself as i have ASD so i am in the same boat with my dog thankfully.
So trying to help the dog isn’t right. I think it’s great that she wants to help her.
the video is not showing yet 👍😄
I'd hate to be in that car too
This felt a bit unfinished.. I would've liked to seen the progress with the car through to her liking the hot rod, which I think she eventually will
Poor baby 🥺🥺, why don't they get someone to dog sit for them? That way they can go away and enjoy that whilst the dog is not stressing. Stop trying to make the dog fit your lifestyle... you can't "make" a dog comfortable with noise and it looks like this dog is just sensitive to noise. Accept it, especially the husband who doesn't seem to care for the dog...
My dog always throws up when we put her in the car. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it?
see your vet about anti nausea meds maybe?
Dramamine (dose to fit their weight)
@@tanyasobsessions2131 I don't have the money to go to the vet rn.
Maybe put her in the car, and don’t go anywhere. Don’t even turn the car on. Instead, give her treats. That way the car becomes a positive place. After you do that and she’s fine, turn on the car and give her treats. After you do that for a while, drive around the block. Continue to give her treats. Now the car will be a positive place.
@@Michelle-fz7wm I've tried that she doesn't take the treats. She's too stressed out to take them.
i think they had other options like have someone look after the dog while they camped or did it without her basically. That's what i would've done if i were in that situation. i don't like that so much of what they want is put on the dog instead of just learning to accept the dog for who she is. even victoria said she may never like car rides! there comes a point at which you need to accept who the dog is and isn't. if it means that you board the dog or whatever while you go on vacation or whatever may be better for everyone if they couldn't get someone to pet sit. just my other thoughts.
I have fostered and owned a variety of dogs, though I'm no expert, I think the dog can do it. Think if they get a second dog that loves to go out and go camping and they leave Nellie at home or board her. That's sad for Nellie.
Knowing that your pup can be a bit uncomfortable at times but still handle a variety of situations is such a good feeling.
That could be costly #1 and also a lot of time away from her owners. As the woman said in the beginning the dog helped her through a rough time, so she wanted to help the dog in return. helping her is not sending her into a situation with a stranger or being home alone all the time. If anything, that would make life worse for all of them.
My own dog a border collie mix has noise phobia, although she actually loves car rides is terrified of loud noises and big trucks, leaf blowers, lawn mowers etc. But it has gotten so bad she will not go outside during the day, for whatever reason she feels safer at night and has recently been playing frisbee in the dark. We used to play hours and hours outside she was so happy. Now my dog is miserable and bored all the time and it’s just horrible to see her like this. I would give anything to have Victoria come and help us because getting a vet behaviorist is proving impossible! No CBD, no calming treat, collar, special calming food for anxiety or nothing has worked. It’s absolutely getting to be too much to handle. So, I disagree with your comment. It’s no life for a dog to live in fear all the time believe me. I want to see my baby happy again. I would do anything to have Victoria come and help us.
@@melissarose2213 spitting facts i feel like theyre just trying to turn the owners into villains
the one thing that really upset me in this episode is that she at the end says to the camera that she doesn't think it'll be long before the dog enjoys car rides when she literally just told the owners to take a step backwards to help the dog who clearly wasn't ready for the first thing she told them to do with the dog in the car! i would've had them do what she told them to do with the dog at the end in the first place and then gradually build up the length of the drive. i sort of get why she told them to do it in that order but at the same time, to me it would've made more sense to just start at the beginning with the dog with just the association to the car etc. I also feel that maybe this dog isn't right for them to be honest because of the dogs personality. I feel that a family who didn't live so close to traffic and wasn't so obsessed with driving/cars in general would've been a better fit so the dog would've to constantly having the stressors and maybe only went in the car when she really had to like the vet for example. i know they are good people etc as i can tell as the way the wife talks about her and the relationship is how i think of my own with my dog when they need us etc. i am very happy vic got the guy more involved with the dog which i think helped him have more compassion/understanding as a result. i just question why they got that rescue dog as i don't think it was the best fit for them but that's just my views, take them with a grain of salt.
Sometimes it's hard to know what level to start with ... Victoria started with something that proved to be too much for Nellie, so she scaled it back. Gradually they can work back to two short trips a day, then build from there. It might take months for Nellie to go an hour in the regular car, and she might never be able to handle the hot rod.
One thing I would do is have Nellie get used to the hot rod when it's parked. Let her sniff around the car, open the doors and let her check out the interior, set up the bed ... all with the engine off. Once she's comfortable, start all over with the engine idle. Then very short trips ... it may take a couple of years to get her used to being in the moving hot rod long enough to go anywhere. Or it may never happen - the couple needs to prepare for that.
@@lizcademy4809 I fully agree. It didn't sound like they were prepared to do that when victoria asks him about that possibility. he says they will need to compromise aka not giving her an answer at all.
I think the step backward is more related to the hot rod, getting her comfortable with being in that because it is so loud before taking her for a ride in it.
Well they probably didnt find out it was scared of cars until after they started living with it (employees/volunteers or whatever may have no given them this info)
She was named right. Should be Nervous Nelly.
Thumbnail looks a bit like Jenna Marbles, but it's not. Big sad. :(
