Why is dog cat
Victoria Stunned as Dog Bullies Owner and Her Cat | It's Me or the Dog
jack is a combination of two really
highly driven hunting dogs the Labrador
and the poodle and some of these dogs
have a tendency to have a high chase
Drive what would you say are your main
concerns Oh a nipper does he do that a
lot
he does is that hard I mean looks like
he's good he's getting stronger yes
and so I feel like I need to get him
under control before he gets any bigger
and stronger jack is very demanding
towards darlin he bullies her a little
bit he nips at her he grabs at her he
says play with me and he can get rough I
do have bruises on my arms oh my god
that's from that's from Jack all right
and he does that for you when he like
wants attention when he wants food he
wants his ball if I want give him the
cat you weren't given the cat yes I have
a cat also he mauled her he bites her he
carries around the house he steals her
food can I see her is she around
anywhere or yeah let me see her it's
impossible to feed Jill in front of Jack
because Jack not only eats his food but
her food this is where I feed the cat
I've never seen a cat eat behind the
oven before
poor Jill has no quality of life
whatsoever I feel really sorry for her
and I'm also worried because jack is
getting rougher and rougher with them
Darla will have to face the facts I've
had a great day observing you and Jack
but there are a lot of issues that need
to be addressed the only time he really
engages on you is when he wants
something and he was biting on you and
grabbing on you very very hard so I
don't think it's a great relationship
now let's talk about his chase instinct
and the poor cat
what kind of life is your kitty living
in this house well it's the fact that
she has to eat behind the stove I've
never seen that before if you do have
two pets in the same house you have to
make sure that one is not stressing out
the other
Victoria takes the training back indoors
in order to stop Jack's brutal attacks
on Darla's other pet Jill he loves his
bull yep so I'm gonna use it he's only
gonna get this ball when he waits for it
so what I'm gonna do
[Music]
wait good boy good boy I didn't need him
to sit but he sat I just wanted him to
stay in one place I wanted him to get
control of his impulses he does not get
the ball if he jumps up at me but he
gets it if he listens to me and stays in
one place let's try it one more time I
want to do something else
I walk away he jumps up on me gets
nothing but I must not give in and he's
biting at me pretty hard he bites me
really hurt me and I squeals if to say
how that hurt and he stopped in order to
give Jill a better quality of life I
wanted to teach them no touch command no
touch means don't touch when the cat's
around you're not allowed to touch her
cats move fast and he's very very
stimulated by moving objects so that's
why I likes chasing her I'm gonna teach
him that he cannot chase after moving
objects and I'm gonna use his favorite
toys to teach that ok
[Music]
no touch
[Music]
no touch good no touch good boy one ball
he was never allowed to touch and if he
stayed away from this ball as I moved it
he got the reward of his tennis ball he
gets a game all right and I tell him
good boy
now Darla gives it a whirl take the ball
okay the method that I put in place with
the balls is gonna be applied to the cat
no tents no tents and sell him good boy
for not doing it no absolutely lovely
because Jack did so well with no
touching the ball I thought it was time
to move on to the cat no Touch apps
nope no touch good boy he looked didn't
touch he gets the ball good boy so far
jack is doing well now Victoria wants to
test his impulse control when Jill is on
the move I'm just going to attach this
short leash on to Jack I attached Jack's
leash on to his collar just in case I
needed to remove him quickly for time
out
her death no touch when Jack went for a
cat
I said no touch he didn't respond so I
had to take his leash and I took him
straight out for a timeout I left him
behind the door came back into the room
this is a timeout strategy basically
it's saying you go for the cat
I got his leash I took him right out
there I've left him out there only for a
little while now I'll go out and get
they see that removal and timeout is a
direct consequence of their negative
behavior because the consequence is
unpleasant the dog is not gonna do it
again I want you to put the cat down
again please obviously I don't want her
to stress her out
but this is important for training so
that hopefully she never has to go
through the stress again okay gonna make
it better for you I promise
down on the ground yeah it is when she
moves no touch good boy
no touch
good she's out there now no touch
[Music]
Victoria might be impressed but Jill
isn't so sure no touch no touch I see
him go good boy good boy
absolutely fantastic good I feel like
Victoria is like magic this is just so
second nature and just she's like a
master although she's encouraged by
Jack's progress Victoria takes one extra
step to improve Jill's quality of life
I've also put up here a jack proof baby
gate it's got space enough for Jill to
be able to fit through there so you can
feed her in peace yeah
Darla is ready to put the training into
practice Jill gets to enjoy a peaceful
meal out from behind the stove good job
daddy Jill Assad being bullied by Jack
Johnson Idina food and she has a little
bit of a safety zone
I feel like we've made a lot of progress
with Jack in a real short period of time
and I'm really happy that I had the
experience of having Victoria to train
me to train Jack I want to say goodbye
to you
Jack's come a long way he's a smart dog
he's got so much potential he's young he
doesn't have very much impulse control
but now he's learning that's what he
needed and I just you know I hope good
things are in the future for Jack he's
got a long happy life ahead of him
