Shock Collar on Puppy Leaves Lasting Damage | It's Me or The Dog 

That dog is so smart, and such a fast learner, they probably could have easily trained her themselves

Victoria be here roasting dog trainers like Gordon Ramsay roasts chefs

happy dog: *walks by* roxy: _take me with youu_

My dog trainer advised a shock collar and I said “NO”

5:22 Narrator: After only a few attempts, Roxy is already displaying incredible self-control. Roxy: 👁 👅 👁

I love how much Victoria cares about dogs, in every possible way. She's amazing 🌺

It’s never the dog. It’s only the people.

My dog was put on an “electric” collar without my knowing at a training program (when I saw it and was furious the guy swore to me it was totally different from a shock collar and “feels like just a little poke” and would press it over and over and over nonstop until she did what he told her), and he had it set to 50/100 and I tried it on myself on 6 and it HURT. Luckily my baby is the most loving, forgiving, happiest little girl in the whole world and doesn’t seem to have been affected. Those, choke, prong, and any other things like that should be illegal EVERYWHERE. And if pet stores actually cared about animals, they’d stop selling anyway.

Victoria: don’t repeat the command please Lady: *doesn’t repeat the command while Victoria is there* -later- Lady: *saying leave it 5 times in 30 seconds*

I feel so bad for Roxy. Victoria is a great dog trainer.

The family messed up in the past; but it’s clear they love their dog.

Lets be honest Roxy was never aggressive. She was excited and intense. They just needed to redirect her behavior ie watch me. She wasnt out of control at all. She needed direcrion thats it. This is tv fluffy lol

When Roxie put her head on Victoria’s lap I lost it

Finally, a family that listens and doesn't try to argue back!

The daughter has a plush that looks like he dog... that is the most pure thing I've ever did see

I love how she sticks out her little tongue

Me seeing the title and thumbnail: Yeah. I might as well be completely furious for 12 minutes.

8-9 on a shock collar for a puppy I'm surprised the the poor dog's heart didn't give out.

Love Jennifer's attitude towards her mistake in the past! That's how humans should be!

Why would she agree to use a shock collar... why not research like Victoria said... poor Roxy :(

To those who comment on how the dog “sticks it’s tongue out” it’s called an underbite and it is a genetic deformity most commonly found in bulldogs and it can effect their, breathing, eating and oral health

I love Victoria's way of training a dog. Dogs are really innocent and loving creatures, they will do anything that they are taught with love and affection.

*8 must of felt like an Electrocution* *hmmm, the floor seems to be made out of floor*

" oh isn't that yummy as two more dogs are walking by..." i literally cried.

The only problem that my dog has is that she’s extremely cute

The best kind of dog trainer: teaches the people to do their job, aims to be obsolete

Roxy: Looks at dog Also Roxy: LOOK AT ME IM GETTING A TREAT WHILE YOU'VE BEEN WALKING BACK AND FORTH FOR HOURS

I was in AGRICULTURAL school and my assistant ag teacher said that it’s totally fine for dogs to wear shock collars and that the collar doesn’t hurt no matter the voltage. A girl in my class put her in her place haha... (ag meaning agriculture)

Those "trainers" should be in jail for extreme animal cruelty.

This is the first family that actually admits that they did something wrong

Lesson one when watching "It's Me or the Dog" : *NEVER TRUST THE OWNERS! THEY 199% OF THE TIME THE PROBLEM*

Owner: “eight must have been like and electrocution” Me: *you don’t say?*

I love how Victoria says “uh oh” when the dog doesn’t get the command in training. It’s so much better than people yelling “no” or “stop”. I’ve seen some other people train their dogs to respond to the word “wrong” as a signal that their behavior is not okay. It’s nice to see these trainings be positive and have calm words that are different from “no” or “stop” that we use in every day life even when we aren’t talking to our dogs.

I feel so bad for roxy they “trainers “ are actually animal abusers and from 5 months old!!!

When I got a shock collar we tried it first as a family and decided this was torture. Never used it once on the dog.

Dog owner:American accent Dog owners kid:British accent Me: Wat

Nobody: Roxy: 😛 Everybody: 😭👏👏👏

If anyone advised me to put a shock collar on a dog they would be leaving my house so fast and their collar would be following them. Why did she think this was okay??

I think I’m the only one who watches these videos and use the tips even on my behaving dog lol.

I like it when the owner admits and is just like "Ok i wana help my dog lets do this lets change" And not like "You dont know anything about dogs my method is better"

"So I tortured my puppy because someone told me so...it's not really my fault." Really, lady??? 🧐

the old dog trainer watching this like: O.O

Thank you, Victoria!! I also had a 'trainer' (Who made a BIG deal that SHE was a DOG TRAINER and did this for a LIVING so she knew what she was talking about!) tell me that I needed to put a shock collar on my SIX MONTH OLD PUPPY because she did not yet know how to come when she was called. (or rather, she did, but it was not reliable yet - and when we were walking her, it was just safer to keep her on lead than to risk it) We were in an off-leash area and yes, you do see people with the dogs on the leash still - for a variety of reasons. It's not their dog, the dog is still training, its a bit reactive and it's easier to keep it on leash until you're in a quieter area, etc. She saw us walking the main path, with our young puppy on leash, and made this huge deal that she did not want HER dog coming near ours because there was something wrong withour puppy that it was still on leash and she had put too much work into hers to have it 'disrupted'. When we told her there was nothing wrong with our puppy, that she was still learning and she wasn't terribly good with her recall yet, she firmly told us how she was a professional dog trainer and we needed to go get a shock collar immediately and put it on the puppy to teach it to behave. (This said quite aggressively - while said puppy was calmly sitting at my feet waiting for us to continue the walk. . .) I was so ticked and so upset by this that I refused to talk to the person any more. Thank God she was not a regular and I've never seen her since. We did not - of course - get a shock or ecollar of any sort and the puppy had now grown into a lovely dog who can not only be let off leash during walks, but tends to stick fairly close to me so I don't have to call her back a ton. All done WITHOUT force. Just lots of treats and games. Thank you thank you for confirming what I 'sensed' and putting words to the issue.

I hired a trainer who took my dog for a bike ride to expend his energy without us, the owners and when he came home all his paw pads were peeled back and he was limping for weeks. Be soso careful when hiring trainers.

Lots of other families : I KNOW I AM RASING MY DOG RIGHT YOU CANT CHANGE THAT This family : Okey.

"AS TwO MoRe DOGGIES wALK Byy" 😂😂

dog: Hi mom i lOvE yOu collar: *im about to end this bulldogs career*

My neighbour has SEVEN small dogs and the bark day in.... aaand day out.... when they got shock collars i can hear them squeal after barking 😔 poor dogs

This is like super nanny just with dogs😂

It’s good that the owner realized her mistake and changed

Everyone is saying how the owner was bad but she obviously loves her dog a lot

Jennifer imagining the shock collar on level 8: It Must’ve Been Like An Electrocution Me: Isn’t That What All The Levels Are?

OMG this poor dog, and I know that the dog is bad but REALY? A SHOCK COLLAR and at such a young age

The thing with a human trying a shock collar is we also can’t understand what a dog feels. If it feels slightly sore to you or tingly you can amplify that because dogs are much smaller than you. On top of that, dogs’ senses are way stronger than ours. For all those who are saying shock collars are okay if you use them on the lowest setting 👆 If you don’t have time to train a dog, please don’t get one. 😣

The first thing I thought when the owner said “We put a shock collar on her as a puppy”, I thought Animal abuser.

A shock collar on a _puppy?!_ 😱😤🤬 If you wouldn't shock your own human child when they misbehave, why would you ever do it to a puppy? Poor pooch 😭

I love how calm and understanding this family was instead of arguing back

I love how Roxy’s tongue sticks out when she puts her face on the floor

What Roxy went through was horrible, though I couldn't help but admire how her owner came to realize the mistake she made. Many people are impulsive to finding trainers fast, that they don't realize what they do. The owner came to understand her mistake, and used that as a chance to fix her problem. Bravo 👏 Perfect demonstration of resolving your mistakes!!

Dog trainer: "Put a shock collar on your dog, I don't care if it is 5 months old." Me: "How about *no* ."

If a trainer told me to put a shock collar on my five month old pup, there's no way I would even think of doing it, I'd tell them to get effed... It's common sense that it's very cruel. Use your brain! She's trying to relinquish guilt by saying it's the trainers fault, but she's just as bad for actually doing it...

Wouldn't anyone be like wait i have to use a shock collar??? Nahhhh. That's called common sense!!! 🤦 welp everyone makes mistakes i guess, but this mistake hurt the poor dog, thankfully Victoria came in before things got serious... Edit: I respect ya'lls opinion on this since i have never used one, but i wont be replying to all comments as there are too many and i am quite busy most of the time.

5:48 the kid has a stuffed animal that looks like Roxy 🥰

1:26 note how Roxie was not barking but making the obvious lunges- that DAMNED shock collar left an emotional impact on her AS WELL as a physical one (owner said it left a burn/scar/whatever, a mark) anyone who advises a shock collar on a dog of ANY AGE should be charged as an animal abuser and jailed.

Poor Roxy 😪 a fricken shock collar.

Roxy: 👁️👅👁️ Her little tongue and her amazing personality makes me fall in love with her! So cute

I feel so bad for roxy, These so called “trainers” are cruel

5:24 I can’t handle her cuteness, the way she sticks out her tongue like that😍

Narator: she tried everything me: not Victoria’s advice

I don’t trust shock collars myself and to use them by electrifying the dog, that’s torture. Those damn “trainers” should be arrested. Poor dog to go through that.

Oh if a "cat trainer" told me to put a shock collar on my sweet lil cat, I WOULD GET THEM OUT MY HOUSE AND BE SO MAD AND CALL THEM "ABUSERS!", and im a cat lover dont ask :>

This is why you don’t adopt a pet blindfolded and actually do some research when adding any extensive events to your dogs schedule..

I’m surprised that people still use shock collars. Once in a gift shop, I accidentally shocked my hand (bIg BrAin) and it *hurt* .Can’t imagine having to experience that multiple times a day

I love this channel because she actually shows real cases, even desperate ones. Demonstrating that positive reinforcement DOES work even on aggressive dogs.

dog: walks Roxy: let me tell you something, let me tell you something

The trainers must have been scammers I don’t even train dogs and know not to use a shock collar on a puppy duh 🙄 so very sad

A shock collar is in my opinion a torture device, I would never use one with my puppy, he responds to good attention and treats, he likes to please me, training has been hard and slow but it’s extremely rewarding when all your hard work pays off. Remember the 🐢 and 🐇 fable.

3:51 how in the world does she automaticlly know where the trash can is ??

If ANY trainer recommends a shock collar you should run in the other direction

“I didn’t do much research”.... *kay, I’m gonna head out*

It annoys me when people treat a pet like a object not a living thing

Lol, ladies cut those hotdogs in half again with how many treats she’s getting! These dogs put on the podge so fast!

„they are probably responsible for damageing your dog“ shes responsible herself if she puts such a thing on poor roxy. Makes me so angry.

Omg I can’t believe these so called “trainers” are like legit telling these people to put a shock collar on your pup, and make a hole in its skin

Come on people. It's obvious the owner cares. Yes she made a mistake with her previous dog trainers but she's clearly trying her best.

She looked devastated didn't she... no? No. She looked completely indifferent to the suffering she inflicted.

3:37 "8 must have been like an electrocution!" That's because it IS an electrocution!?

Another case of training the owner rather than training the dog.

I use an ecollar on my dog and won’t put it up higher than what I am comfortable with. Shocking a dog, a PUPPY at that, however is UNACCEPTABLE. The ecollar I use sends a vibration, not an actual electric shock.

"I've tried everything" *is shown the basics of reward training* "Oh this is a whole new way to train!" What did you try when she was a puppy?

There is no Coffee in the Cups...that makes me sad 😔

On the next episode, "Victoria Apologizes for Starting House Fire" xD

I am so happy my dog trainer never used or recommended a shock collar. He was all about positive association and patience. I was so impressed with how well trained his labs were and he helped me achieve that with my hyperactive lab/golden mix

Omg this is such a dramatic change in Roxy and it’s so amazing that a dog can change so quickly!!!

As someone who shares their home with an English Bulldog, I’m heartbroken they thought a shock collar would ever be needed. They’re such soulful, reward inspired dogs. They want to please badly and are so intuitive to emotions. I cannot imagine what Roxy thought as a pup being shocked💔. Rewards, rewards and rewards and they will do all you ask. They’re great dogs💙

That daughter is so good with her! I love how open the mom was for all the advice. They make a great family now!

I can’t deal with the woman wearing Ugg’s in that weather

I was so happy to see roxy wearing a harness at the end of the clip!!!

People who use shock collars on their dogs should be forced to wear one for 24 hours and for someone to activate it every 15 minutes.

In the past I sprayed water near my dog on walks when she was agressiv to another dog for no reason and I felt bad for doing this because she was scared for a second. It was only water beside her and I felt bad, I would never do anything that hurts a dog. Those shock things should've never been invented.
