Both mum and dad were committed and they've got one of the most intelligent dogs so it was a recipe for success.
Poor boy was so jealous of the baby and now he’s getting attention and feels more understood ❤❤❤❤ so sweet
Thank you for teaching me to deal with chaotic dogs just from a screen and your content is entertaining yet useful and amazing
My thoughts in the beginning "Wow.." My thoughts at the end. "WOW!"
😂😂😂 wow
That's the most amazing progress ever! I really had my doubts on this one at first. How great it was to see the work pay off rather than having to surrender the dog. Wow. I don't even have a dog yet, but I'm learning every time I watch.
Makes me think he’s resource guarding mom from the baby
It’s always so nice when the owners are not defensive or arguing with the professional. They weren’t in denial, they were simply ignorant of what proper training is and were open to learn. These types of episodes are so nice in comparison to arrogant owners who question Victoria and think they know better than her.
At least they're not throwing away the dog, kudos to them. So many dogs end up in shelters in these situations.
YES! I work at a doggy daycare and there was a German Shepard that would come by frequently, the parents never really trained him his whole life. They recently had a baby, dropped the dog off at a shelter, the couple was then told to take him back to buy more time to find him a new home. Unfortunately, they did not find him a home and he was put down :(
Or dead :(
They should value a baby more than a dog. Sad world we live in.
@@briannadickson2884well they wanted to try and help the dog before throwing it away like normal people should you shouldn’t just instant give up if the behavior can be changed
@@briannadickson2884and a shelter would’ve put him down probably for his “aggressive nature” most likely
I’m so glad that they didn’t just take him to some shelter instead of working the problem. People think that the only way to train the dog is if you bring someone like Victoria. It takes work, but when you research and put the time into it progress can be amazing. I have a beautiful rescue, she was never socialized as a baby in the shelter, in fact she got beat up on by a couple bigger dogs while still a baby. All of this adds up to a very scared dog with no confidence. She is still such an amazing dog. I have a little boy with autism, he is basically nonverbal and every active with stimms that could be scary to a dog. It has taken time, but she loves him so much, and I still take precautions. I am always there when they interact, and I am able to step in when my girl is giving those cues she needs a break. We are slowly working on dealing with cats, dogs, and squirrels reactivity. He’s great with people, still some jumping up, but we’ve made huge leaps. She’s also with me everyday all day, her den (crate) is her safe place, and I don’t crate her when I leave, it keeps her calmer that way.
From watching this show, I've never seen so much care and commitment come from a couple or family. 👏
His little fluffy face 😍
"After 16 months of hysteria..." had me rollin 🤣
We're literally in the same situation as them but its just that the baby hasnt come out yet. Thanks for this as it will guide me and my husband what to do before the baby comes in ❤
Think of it similar to the dog being the older sibling. They start to act up to get attention. For this dog that turned into an obsession with the baby. Look how easily he quit that when they went back to giving him some more attention like he likely got before the baby came. The main thing here was just getting his brain working and thinking rather than just sitting in anxiety mode all day long.
That's trueeee. More enrichment exercise will be needed for him
Make sure you have someone bring something home that smells like the baby before you come home from the hospital, so your pup has a chance to get used to the new smells!
Ziggy didn't ask for his life to be turned upside down by a baby, no matter how much the parents wanted it. I hope episodes like this show budding parents how important it is to make sure their pets will be a match with a baby. I've seen too many pets rehomed because they didn't get along with the new baby.
Pets should always be second to babies! If a spoiled obnoxious dog acts like this it should go!
@@knuckleballlady6952 The dog was there first. You can't just abandon your family for your convenience. Pets are your family. They have no voice, and rely on you, very much like a baby. The only spoiled obnoxious one is you.
@@knuckleballlady6952 Spoiled obnoxious dog? Or... Maybe a dog that needs to be trained on how to act with babies! You literally cannot blame an animal for smth it doesn't know.
How's the tramps said once the dog moves in the baby moves in the dog moves out
Our toy poodle Jack is the identical twins of this dog. As he’s gotten older he’s slowed down a lot. He’s 11 years old and blind in one eye. He’s never bitten anyone or been aggressive. He is constantly knocking over the trash can and pulling out all the trash😐😐
Faith is so fluffin’ cute! ❤❤❤❤🥹🥹🥹🥹
I might try this with my cat, who my toy poodle won't accept. She has almost the exact same reaction as ziggy but to the cat. Hopefully the same techniques will work, worth a try as keeping them apart is hard work too. I tried a leave it command which works for everything else but not the cat maybe one of those mats is the answer. With the cat it's like she wants to play but is far too rough as the cats very old, she doesn't bite at him but will paw and try to climb on him to aggressively lick his ears. It's just too much for an old cat. Will definitely try some of these techniques though.
Please share progress
If Victoria’s videos were mandatory before being a pet owner, there would be a lot more healthy,happier dogs❤❤❤
Fantastic job Victoria ❤❤❤❤
This is why o don’t trust little dogs, I have seen more antisocial behavior from them then ever demonstrated by a large dog. I’ve had everything from a 150 pound pit bull/lab mix, to a coyote, to a 218 pound mastiff. Put bill lab was my parents’ dog prior to my birth and he bonded with me the moment I came home, he went from sleeping in my parents bed to sleeping under my crib and then my bed. My coyote was 3 when my brother was born and she loved him to pieces. As a toddler my grandmother would tell her it’s time for the baby’s nap and my coyote would lead my brother under the table for a nap. My mastiff was a giant teddy bear, you just had to avoid his tail. The dogs not only loved our cats but all the neighbors’ cats. I can’t imagine living with a dog exhibiting such antisocial behavior.
My sisters dog, a standard dacshund does the same thing with my son. And when he is carried she becomes even more maniacal and would try to get his legs. She has known him since the time she came in as a puppy. We dont even take him to my sisters house that much nowadays, and also are very alert and cautious when we do have to.
These are the kind of dogs that think they are the owner and the humans are their pet. Boundaries and respect were not taught to any of them including the parents.
They can't think like humans
OMG that is so dangerous for the baby and the family 😮😮
You know it.
Food makes magics to dogs evry time
Aww it's so cute how they dress the baby.
Dog was jealous
the baby is sooooo cute omg 🤩 im getting baby fever lol
Good boy 👦🏻🐶
Jealous dog
I can't believe these parents have let this go on for 18 months!!! For a child that age, having a dog frantically barking at her, pawing at her, jumping up on the parent that is holding her, almost snapping at her - must be traumatizing. Just that kind of constant auditory onslaught of barking would be unsettling for me; I can't imagine what it might be like for a tiny human.
At least they got help give them a break they are learning like we all
They stated the delay was due to the virus related lockdown. They could not get anyone to come in.
@@ggcattt7529 I would never offer up my child's face as a learning opportunity for a dog, no matter how much I loved the animal.
There's a pretty strong overlap with people who say Fur Baby and those who mishandle animals.
My fur baby is a trained mal/ sheperd mix. There more babies the more energy and time you put into them so nor much overlap
I call my dogs furbabies all the time 🤗 they're both very well mannered and trained! I think it's just a general term people use, but I could see how if you see a lot of people who have bad dogs use it, it can be seen in a negative light
It's like parents who insist their child does nothing wrong but the child is a devil spawn
Linguistic correlation with anthropomorphizing animals (a mindset with potential for problems).
@@aureliofont I'm not a psychologist. Is this already an identified combination of symptoms for something?
LOVEEEEEEE
Hopefully 🙏🏻 it will be ok 👌🏻
was this a case of their dog being jealous of their baby?
These are all effective management techniques, but what about the underlying causes for Ziggy's behaviour? Training that only addresses the symptoms and not the causes can only do so much, and usually proves unsuccessful in the long run.
Dogs are not people. They can’t sit down with a psychologist and talk their problems out. Symptom management is generally all we can do. The goal is behavior modification. It’s very possible that once the baby gets bigger and gains some agency, they won't need these techniques anymore.
They're not management so much as counter conditioning. They were already doing some management (baby gate) but now they have incompatible behavior (go settle, use snuffle mat) paired with positive conditioning around the baby. We don't need to speculate about his inner motivations if we can change his emotional and arousal state - and Victoria has done both.
@@Jamie-lw1lo I respect your point of view and agree to an extent, but I still believe that trying to understand the inner motivations of any sentient being is our duty as the so-called "superior species" - that's why we have empathy. Changing the behaviour through conditioning is fine, but it's a shallower level of operating, and one I've personally outgrown in my practice.
@@Calistake047I’m not a dog professional or even experienced with dogs but isn’t the dogs inner motivation very obvious to see hence Victoria’s counter conditioning worked a treat? It looks like the dog was the baby of the house getting the parents full attention then along came baby and took all the attention away and became the focus instead. He was probably neglected as it was covid and they would have been solo parenting making it likely he was not walked or enriched and meant to cope with all these negative changes. By training
a) the parents started giving him attention even though the baby was around
b) he got a space to chill (not punishment but something positive - his space)
These finally brought his stress hormones down and calmed him down to the point he can start relaxing and switching his thinking brain on again.
Baby is no longer associated with negative and anxiety provoking emotions so he can now co-exist and even start making friendships with the child.
The underlying emotional trigger was addressed perfectly. Dog looks like he now feels safe on walks and at home and has gone back to his normal self. He also started getting attention again which means the neglect he initially felt went away. Hopefully they manage to be more mindful with any further babies or the behaviour could come back.
poodles particular toys not in general but most of them dont like small children. They see it as a dog or their competitor.
They can be good with kids, they just need structure & boundaries. They’ve got brains that can’t be left to idle
I have a pomeranian who does not get along with the Jack Russell across the street they constantly bark at each other what can I do.
There’s two ways:
One the u-turn. Just turn and walk away before the full reaction. Usually there’s a sign like tenseness or a wrinkled forehead or ear position, scruff. Never let the full reaction happen. You can also build up to just using “watch me”. This teaches dogs the power of choice: they don’t have to look, they don’t have to go to the stressor. They can make a better choice.
Two: every time you see the Jack Russel give all the rewards. Whatever your dog likes: food, toy, squeaker. Again don’t let the reaction happen. Be upbeat. Be distracting. Literally get in their face but in a silly exciting way “oh who’s that, is that your friend” very upbeat. Associate the stressor with good things. And it makes the stressor a good thing
You can do either or both.
AND THEY SAY PITBULLS ARE KILLERS, OMG!!
As a pitbull owner, just no. An aggressive 25lb poodle is not in the same league as an aggressive 75lb pit.
Well they are. Or at least can be very easily without proper training, and barely anyone trains them properly.
Toy poodles are great family pets but I recommend getting a toy poodle after a baby is born cause then the toy poodle won't be a problem!
I am getting one of those snuffle mats. What a change in that toy poodle, though. They have a notorious reputation for being awful with children.
Happy Ending!
Jealous poodle 🐩 👀 👶🏻
Ziggy is jalous
When did the baby get knocked on?
I do emergency turn and my dog still turns his body around while walking backwards!
You need to turn into the dog and have him focused on you. If he's just walking backwards he's still being rewarded by seeing what he wanted to. Use treats if needed or whatever motivates your dog the most to pay attention to you.
I don't understand why the channel keeps re uploading old episodes??
Hi
This title is a bit misleading since the dog wasn't even aggressive or even attacked the child.
you dont call that aggressive?
@@user-zq4ng2rw2dsome people have no idea about their dogs behaviours. They think if a dog isn't biting the child it is fine. If a dog is sharply barking they are aggressive.
I think if people just pretended their little dogs were German Shepard, there would be a lot more understanding.
This dog should not be in a home with young children. It cannot be trusted regardless of how much training.
How can you be so blind? The dog is actively lunging and jumping up at the baby when the mum is carrying her.
The intense stare and constant watching of the baby is predatory behavior and a sign of aggression. Just because he hasn't physically attacked her yet doesn't mean the intent isn't there.
These are all warning signs, and eventually, that dog would have bitten her. It was only a matter of time.
That guys voice sounds just like Lee Mack, or maybe I'm watching too much wilty
Can anyone explain why Ziggy was so intensely fixated on the baby in the first place? Is it jealousy? Protectiveness? I can’t figure it out
Since they are so smart, it could be resource guarding behavior. Newborns take a lot of time and attention, and I am 100% certain that the dog noticed the change.
Whenever the mom touches the baby and picks her up it also triggers Ziggy which is a huge sign of resource guarding. The baby is the one receiving attention, which is a resource, and that's why he's reacting so negatively.
I love this dog's harnesses! The beautiful aquamarine one is a fun contrast to the studded "leather" jacket! 😂 Dog has cooler clothes than I do.
I would think that you would put the dogs somewhere else like you know in another home
the dog is jealous not the baby no more
Yikes
That dog should have been rehomed. He obviously isn't suited to living with children.
Whenever a pet 'acts out' it's because their Hoomans are not listening to why they are unhappy.
They are unable to speak in words, so they show us in Other ways.
Please have a Sense of Awareness, and please correct whatever is upsetting them.
How do I litter train my 6 month old puppy?
I think it’s better to train it to go to the bathroom outside
Brave warrior 48
I wouldn't bring a baby to my dogs life for this reason yes I think its really cute when it goes the right way when pets bond with babies but my pets will never have to feel replaced or moved to the side because of a arrival of a baby never!!!
Man I have 3 dogs and our 2 little dogs do nothing but bark at every one that comes through our door and also my corgi does not like me bites me all the time but only me nobody else in my house
Could it be that Ziggy was also sensing some kind of underlying medical issue in faith?
Get rid of the nuisance either pick your child or that terrible dog.
As a parent, I wouldn’t tolerate that dog’s behavior after a few days. I love dogs in general, but my baby’s well-being will always be more important than my dog, and I would never tolerate such bedlam or risk. This couple just made their baby suffer chaos its most important 16 months. Still, it’s great that eventually, the owner’s learned.
The dog was also suffering the dog was there first before the baby
@@briannahernandez6627 It’s irrelevant whom “got there first!” Seriously, there’s ZERO equivalence!
@@FR-tb7xh so you’re saying you would get rid of them instead of getting them they help they might need? That’s heartless. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe a child’s safety is important. However, re homing is only best if it’s what is best for everyone involved. It’s always best to find a professional to help you help your furry friend, and preferably before you give birth. It allows you to get stuff in place to keep the baby safe, and help the furry friends feel safe.
@@rosie11995 so YOUR saying that you'd rather see something bad happen to the child? despite what you say, it is hell to raise a child.
@@smartbics2gaming that’s not what I am saying at all! If you read what I wrote, I even said a child’s safety is important. Sometime animals bond with us, and it would be more damaging to the furry ones to just get rid of them instead of working with them to train them. Granted if you can’t train them to be a safe member of your family with children, then of course you should re home, as that would be what’s best for everyone! However, you should always do everything in your power to train any pet to be good neighbors in the home, even if it means getting professional help. I also think you should start training them to be good neighbors towards babies and children the minute you start thinking about having children, and reinforce your bond with your furry ones before any baby or child comes into the picture so they’re less likely to get stressed or jealous and misbehave.
Horrible who doesn’t put their child first?!!!
Maybe the baby has bad vibes 🤣🤣🤭🤭 just kidding
Should be recaptioned..."parents allow toddler to chase dog and dog predictably defends itself"
I'm totally baffled by what can be going on in Ziggy's mind. But knowing his original aggression must still be somewhere inside him, I'd NEVER trust him around the child.
Its the shelter or the taxidermist. Anything else leaves a time bomb in the house. You are a miracle, Victoria. But I'd still NEVER trust that dog.
I agree. As much as I love my dog, if its shows severe aggression toward my child, I'd have to rehome them with someone who is a better fit.
🤡
to be fair, not a single dog, even the most well behaved should never be left unsupervised with a baby. And the family actually mentioned they didn’t have a possibility to get help due to lock down. Ziggy is not aggressive, he’s anxious. A lot of work can fix it 🙂 Guidance and correct techniques are the key.
Never get an animal then. Though I'm sure you're a child that doesn't understand the world. Only children say things like "it's the shelter or the taxidermist." You also don't know anxiety from aggression which means you really should never have a dog.
@@margaritapolakova9560In general, a baby shouldn't be left unsupervised anyway. As you said, this isn't even aggression it's just anxiety. If it was aggression they'd have been bit by now. The only time he came close to aggression was when he got picked up while barking which is understandable. All the emotion and adrenaline happening at that moment and you just scoop him up.. yeah anything's likely to happen for even the calmest and friendliest of dogs.
My dogs never used to bark at Me bc l was a kid but. Lm still a kid at my dogs protect me from strangers
Every parent thinks they have the cutest kids, I know I made two adorable boys that are now fine lookin' young men, but wee baby Faith.... she is adorable! ❤

So, why didn't they get Ziggy buttons, so that he could tell them what was wrong???

I've always had Labradors because they are wonderful family-friendly dogs. We have a Saint Bernard too now and he is fabulous and gentle with children. These family friendly large breeds do not require special training to interact without aggression. It is their nature. This dog has no place in a home with young children. It can never be trusted.
Dog would be gone day 1🤨
I hope you own no animals in your family then 😢 go and take a look in shelters
That’s awful. He was their baby, and then they replaced him with something that cried and took all their time. Of course he needed some training to deal with that. They should have dealt with it sooner of course.
@@stillwatersfarm8499 It is not a baby. Their baby is their baby. That dog is an animal acting defensive against the baby for just existing.
The dog has no rights of seniority. Certainly would never give it a right to behave this way to a baby regardless.
@@briannadickson2884 you don’t seem to have very good reading comprehension. The point of my comment was that they previously treated their dog as their baby, so the dog’s reaction is understandable. The dog is not the villain. The dog is just a dog, and the owners created the problem and need to correct it.
Easy fix with E collar
They should have their kid removed. No way this is responsible parenting.
Maybe he needs drugs
Weak husband. That is the time to get physical and assert dominance with the dog. Yes you can be physical and not harm the dog. Instead this dude picks up the dog like a baby.
Oh and that's a small dog. The husband being calm and gentle makes him stronger than a violent weakling like you.
So true.
The dog was their baby, and then they replaced it. It’s not hard to understand why he’s upset. They just need to teach their dog that he’s a dog. Don’t pick him up. Possibly even don’t let him up on furniture for a time. Crate training so he has personal space. If our toy gets upset at a stranger, we say “go to your bed”. She goes straight there. At night when we are tired of throwing the ball, we say “go to your chair”. She has a chair that she sits on, and she’ll go chill there. We don’t feed her from our plates. She’s a dog - a beloved dog, not a baby.
That is exactly what you shouldn't do. Victoria and good dog trainers dont do that because it doesn't work, and it can backfire by making the dog aggressive. Image you pick up a highly anxious dog and trap it into "submission" the dogs adrenaline is pumping and it will want to escape, many dogs would lash out in that situation and bite and I wouldn't blame them because its a natural physiological reaction in that situation (fight or flight). Even if the dog doesn't bite they aren't taught anything. Instead of this old, outdated and disproven method Victoria works with tge dog to find the underlying cause and tries to remedy that, it takes time and effort (because all training does) but it has the best chance of success.
Please don't get a dog in first place if you have superiority complex don't have a dog if you are about to bring baby home let that one dog find a better loving home and owner who can train him and build trust because after bringing an animal you won't be able to train trust control love once you have a child you will feel insecure always and say things like that instead let that dog have a chance with good owners please for love of God.
I’m just happy to see Victoria coming back and making new content ❤
