When a dog is this big and well-behaved, he is definitely a "sir".
Sir Sits While Butt Washed, is his royal name.
Love that
A Sir who has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth for sure! He has his MBE just like the Beatles! 😆
@@user-gn9vu7wn7tHis a heritage knight, the real deal not a one off like the Beatles, way better behaved.😂
@@secretwatcher9922 I think he might be a Sir as in he's a Baronet, the lowest hereditary title.
Holy cow, he really is a unicorn, barely even reacted to the dryer! Ive had the honor of helping to train and desensitize a young Caucasian Shepard and it's not easy! His owners have put some good work into him.
It'll never stop being satisfying seeing such a well behaved and well trained dog. It takes a lot of effort, but it gives the dog the best chance to have a good life that isn't full of fear/aggression.
Came here to say this. Hats off to the owners, they have done a phenomenal job with him.
I've always said you get out of your dog what you put into them! His owners deserve a big gold star!
Had to laugh - it was snowing dog fur while you used the blower to dry him - a veritable blizzard 🤣😂🤣
He's an amazing good tempered beast. When being dried he wanted to know if there was an escape clause in the contract.🤣
My uncle owned a Caucasian shepherd. The dog died the day my uncle passed away. Loyalty beyond comprehension
So sorry for your loss.🥺🥰
Wow that is amazing his dog was so devoted. Sorry for your loss.
Hey tell little bit more about their friendship!
thats beautiful :( i hope they are together again
@@kittensruleforever That's blasphemy.
I grew up with Ovcharkas, they really are gentle giants with people they know, but they are ferocious guard dogs. This baby boy is an adorable floofy lad. ❤
yess when i was a kid mine would let me do anything i wanted but if stranger went through gate to my house he could do some serious damage, once you introduced someone to him and he knew its a friendly he was chill
We had a Brazilian mastiff that was the same way. That he wasn't socialized well by his first owners didn't help. On walks, he was a beautifully behaved and polite guy, but on our property, we always had to be very particular about how we introduced him to anyone new. He slipped and fell on the ice on our back patio one day and badly injured his hips/back. He couldn't get up to walk so my mom and I had to carry/limp him back inside. It had to have hurt him, but he didn't growl once. Unfortunately, at his size and age and with his pre existing back end issues, we had to put him to sleep. He wasn't an easy/low maintenance dog, but he was a very good boy.
They're wonderful dogs, if my health was better I'd love to adopt one ❤ I need to stick with smaller dogs, or at least dogs who don't outweigh me! 😅
@@saragarska6335 I am so sorry for your loss. But you have wonderful memories of him. 💜
I love how Vanessa always makes the dog aware of how stinky and nasty they are before bathing them
lol mhm
Yeah.... I have to remind myself.. they (dogs) don't REALLY unserstand what we are saying......right?
My grandparents had a Norwegian elkhound who’d get pretty stinky… but my grandma would always reassure her by telling her that she “smells like roses”. 😂
@@KayBee659disgusting. You animal lovers take things to the next level.
@@ironfist458its not the next level for animal lovers. And if you were a dog, would you like to be told you smell like roses? Or a dying fart?
The breeder and owner have done a phenomenal job with this dog. He has the temperament of a saint.
At least the temperament of a Saint Bernard. 😜😄
@@Chihiro33333Haha, good one!
@@GracemarieJohnson Haha! Thanks! 😄
It looks like they did amazing desensitization and socialization with him, he is wonderful.
They all have a similar temperment. Mine does.
What a huge teddy bear. My friend had a female just as big as him and she didnt care for people. Great guard dog. He told me to be cautious of her and in a few hours we were buddys. He told me NOBODY had been able to pet her and play with her. He was amazed.😂 big dogs Rock❤
He's such a sweetie. I've got 2 Caucasians & a German shepherd/Caucasian cross, all have great temperaments & all 3 take a lot of work grooming but don't mind at all. I think if you put the work in when they're puppies it certainly makes life a lot easier.
I, would love an puppy ❤️❤️! They,are just gorgeous!
German Shepherds are my favorite. I've had 5 in my lifetime. & I've loved Caucasian Shepherds from afar, I've never seen one in person. I think my husband might divorce me if I brought one home 🤣
@@feliciam2953 lol .... they're great dogs & are very independent, brilliant guards ....Sneak a puppy in & he's sure to fall in love with it by the time it's the size of a small horse😇
Do they require a lot of training and exercise?
@@ca8944 As with any dog they need training & know the boundaries, Caucasians are very strong minded, wilful dogs so need training from an early age plus they need plenty of room to exercise as they're very large but are quite happy to lie about whilst keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
The fact that his owner cried speaks volumes about how Vanessa changes so many lives for the better. She is smart and gifted.
agreed! We need more people like this helping other pets to live their best lives!❤
She a lovely Dog Whisper.
Absolutely. I love watching her videos, she is so compassionate, smart, slick and so adept and good at her job.👏👏🐾🐾❤️
I’m not crying Nope 🥹
The owner does a fabulous job in maintaining his coat, and kudos for you encouraging other groomers to keep him so the owner doesn't have to drive too long. This dog is a literal living teddy bear
Usually they are more like grizzly than a teddy bear.
Demonstrates what love and proper training can do for "aggressive" dogs .
@@dorothybrown8859They don't behave the same when they are not on their territory. Our Caucasian is very docile and easy going when out for the walk, however it can be very aggressive towards strangers back home. They are independent and smart breed and they do not require a lot of attention from the owner, hover it can be very protective of its surroundings. I wouldn't recommend this breed if you are looking for a play mate (they will not fetch you any balls anyway), however they are excellent guard dogs. We went for Caucasian because we had a break-in, and since we have this dog, junkies somehow lost interest in our property 😂
@@bojned Why she was very careful at the start. Owners and her have proven what’s possible.
Other groomers aren’t turning him away because they want to, but most of us don’t have walk in showers or lax grooming regulations like her. All tubs at my salon are lifted meaning if he wouldn’t go up the stairs, I couldn’t do it. Also, unless you work for yourself like her, it is against safety regulations at most salons to do a dog on the ground untethered like that. Meaning he can only go to a groomer who works for themselves and has a step in tub. A lot of which are pretty old people and can’t handle dogs this size anyways so they also have to be on the younger side. Sometimes she says some weird stuff, but what I think she meant by “encouraging them” is to get this specific kind of groomer to reach out.
Wow! The temperament is crazy. Shout out to the owners for raising such an incredible beast! If my boy has any social media I would love to follow
I have always said it depends on how a dog is raised! I had a Rottweiler and now a Cane Corso and people are terrified. But they are the sweetest pups. Raised properly and socialized well, they become well established and used to love and affection
You are so right. I've had Rottweilers. They are such sweet babies. Pits also. They are super sweet babies. It upsets me when people who talk crap about either breed, especially when they act like Chihuahuas are little angels like they've never met dogs before in life. If anyone has ever met a naughty pit, Rottweiler, or pinscher, it's the owner you really need to avoid like the plague for being a bad human being.
@@Meggzilla Animals have temperaments and attitudes that can manifest regardless of training, my sister owns 2 puppies from the same litter, they're being raised together and both have vastly different personalities. One is terrified of everything and jumpy at home but very good on walks, the other is good at home but a menace when he sees strangers and barks at everything that moves when on a walk. You hear stories all the time of pits and other supposedly dangerous dogs that have been an angel and well behaved throughout their life until they snapped one day. They were bred to be aggressive and no amount of good vibes is gonna change the fact that they are many times more likely to unpredictably snap than mellower breeds. It's about how willing you are to play the lottery with them, but most people don't want to end up as victims of your gambling on good vibes.
Kudos to his owners. He was super well behaved. He even seemed to almost enjoy the blow dryer.
I have to imagine that getting all that undercoat out and blowing the fur around feels really nice, especially when it's heavily matted or compacted.
Yeah it looked like the blow drying was his favorite part.
He looked like he was thinking about climbing the wall when she started soaping him though
I thought he looked at times unconcerned about the hair flying, to slightly interested in this event of "fur showers" BTW, he looked awesome after the groom! Superb job in managing him, and grooming him!
Kudos to the owners on his temperament perhaps, but he is obscenely overweight and no home grooming has taken place, which is pretty lame.
This elephant had no fear. Fear seems to underlie a lot of bad behavior in dogs. It’s obvious that his owner has worked intensively with him to socialize and train. He’s also really intelligent. Your constant nattering is probably really helpful, because he’s hearing praise and calm even tho none of what you’re doing makes any sense to him. But it doesn’t hurt, you’re kind, and he hears "good boy" a lot, so he’s willing to go along with the process. 😊
The patter really helps IMO. They know you're not their momma but you're clearly somebody's momma. I swear they know the soul of everyone they meet.
@@katiekane5247what’s patter and natter?
Patter and natter is talking to and praising the dog while he is being groomed.
That’s true. A lot of dogs attack because they are fearful. This dog is completely fearless so had nothing to worry about.
@Phantom-bh5ru Am a dog trainer, canine behaviorist and abuse case foster. Id hazard 90% of "aggressive" behavior comes from one of two things 1) fear 2) humans not understanding a dogs avoidance or "i really dont like this" signals.
I have two old english sheepdogs, which were originally merely Ovcharka's mixed with the bearded collie, but then overtime after many generations of breeding, they changed sufficiently enough that they became their own breed. That is a long way of saying that this video was interresting to me!
"He doesnt seem to have the typical temperment of a caucasian sheppherd" Thats the beauty of good socialisation as a puppy. My neo mastiff was the best party dog - getting pats from each guest and sitting on their feet so they wouldnt leave without doing so. He LOVED tradesmen, and would run out the front door by a metre (never further because that would be rude and naughty) and flop all 65kg of him on the ground in protest so these nice strangers wouldnt leave. He was a nightmare with dogs... in that he had no idea of his size and loved to try playing with the smallest of puppies. He adored the vets looking after him during his final months battling cancer, and he is very missed.
I really liked his energy of "Well, if I'm going to be stuck here I will tolerate it, but I also refuse to actively cooperate." Which, honestly, for an animal of that size, that might just be for the best.
Essentially trying to groom a big furry rock.
"I guess this is what you are doing today. Not we, YOU."
He was the best mannered dog I've her seen being groomed. He didn't even care when she did his feet and nails.
What an absolutely amazing dog
“How am I supposed to wash your butt?” “That sounds like a YOU problem, Vanessa.”
The level of confidence and competence you have is incredible.
Women are mentally stronger than man.
Totally agree. She’s an amazing professional and human being
And that's actually critical when working with animals, things can get nasty very fast if you're too nervous or incompetent.
She has a gift truly. Every time i see her work with dogs like these I'm absolutely amazed
@@Narangaraththis is the absolute truth that 99% of people have no clue about
That's a very well-behaved bear.
I think he really understood what she was saying and trusted her process. She is really endearing too and a warm person in spite of her straight talk lol.
I prefer straight talk. Like to know where I am.
@@patrickgriffitt6551 me too.
I love how you adress him as "sir" when you try to move him in the shower or talk to him during the process 😂 Such a distinguished gentleman
An amazing creature. Truly a gift for us all. Such size and strength yet calm and peaceful.
I owned a White Caucasian Ovcharka many years ago. I remember spending all of spring and summer brushing her and bathing her outside. Our Martha was chill, laid back, and easy to train. We kept her out year-round. She loved and guarded the family, but everyone else she did not care for. She certainly loved eating.❤We miss our gentle giant. If only there were willing groomers like yourself, thanks for looking after him.😊
Wow, I’ve read a lot about these dogs and it’s awesome to hear peoples stories who’ve had the chance to have one in their family. Very unique dogs.
The owners & you are amazing! I love how you take your time & let the dogs be themselves!! 🎉
you absolutely dont want this person near your dog. Shes using a $10 walmart garden sprayer. Is afraid of the dog. At no point reassures him or even realises he's hot. Whips out multiple loud scary tools and completely ignores his reaction. Ill guarantee she has a lot of dogs who react VERY negatively to her
@@charlesreid9337wasn't aware you were a professional groomer. What a vile thing to say
@@charlesreid9337What? Do you even watch her videos thoroughly? She's had a plethora of different size dogs and attitudes and acted accordingly.
I've always loved Caucasian Shepherds from afar. I've never seen one in person. He is absolutely beautiful & his temperament is impeccable! His breeder definitely knew what they were doing & his owner has done a phenomenal job with training & socializing him! I just want to reach through the screen & give him a hug 🤣 You did a great job on him! He looks fantastic!
Believe me he loooooooves hugs❤
@@erikaweavers7051 well if I was ever lucky enough to meet him I'd gladly give him all the hugs. He looks like a giant Teddy bear ❤️
What a handsome dog with an incredible temperament! Thanks for taking him on and, hopefully, helping him find a groomer closer to home.
I got the feeling the blow dry was his favourite part. His breeders and owners are to be congratulated on his temperament and socialising. Last but not least, Vanessa, your bravery, patience and connection with your clients is wonderful.
I like to imagine the blow drying felt good on his skin because its not often he feels something get past his heavy fur
And maybe a bit of that “being in a car with your head out the window and the wind in your face” feeling
Josef Fritzl scammed his own daughter for 24 years...
She is definitely the best at what she does.
We used to have a boy this big, he was the goofiest bear, on walks didn't care about anybody, loved kids (not for eating) and I was able to walk him at 15-17(my age at the time). His dad was import from Russia and total oposite :D In spring he(our dog) shed about two sheep of fur, loved to sleep under snow. Passed away when he was 12. Edit: Our dog passed at 12. I wrote as I remembered so it seems a bit confussing :D You did a great job with him!
LOL!!! "Not for eating" I laughed my butt off when I read that
Not for eating 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sorry for your loss. God bless you 🫂
"Not for eating" made me bust out laughing. I'm so sorry you lost your boy! ❤
That’s a long life for a big dog. I love Danes but can’t stand losing them so soon. I had an elderly Dane snd we did not know her age but I think she was 9 when she passed. My kids then got me a beautiful puppy but he fell and injured his back and had to be euthanized at 4. It’s just heartbreaking.
Aww... what a beautiful soul! This is one of my favorites!
Wonderful grooming of this beautiful animal. His breathing/panting was surely nerves. He was so well behaved showing the skill you possess to calm the dog with your voice.
That baby is the definition of a “gentle giant”❤❤
❤
I have two and I named one jidovi meaning in Romania means gently gaint
They were bred to fight bears...
@@Josh-lz9pd fight bears😂😂😂 he is a bear. How could you tell the difference
He's the second Caucasian you've done. He's a much happier guy than Rex was lol. Even Rex was a good boy just not as good as this one. He's absolutely gorgeous. He was even more gorgeous and handsome when he was done 😊. His owners did an amazing job training him. They did everything right
Comparing to normal Caucasian Ovcharkas, has a saintly temperament.
Also the breeder deserves praise, don't forget them.
Definitely praise to the breeder too! This boy is amazing.
He's an amazing, good boy!! 😍💓💗❤️💗💓😍
@@ToTheWolves blabla
Admiro a esa muchacha, por la paciencia, la dedicación y la pasión que le imprime,para y tratar co animales, la respeto mucho.
Having such a giant dog to groom, addressing him as "sir" is without a doubt the best way to approach such a goliath! He is anyway such a loveable gentle giant! I just love the way you talk to dogs. I´m sure they understand that you are a good-willing person. That's how I perceive you and because of that, I admire you and your work so much. Keep doing what you do the way you do. Love!
As someone who grew up in a place full of black bears, I can confirm that he does indeed outweigh smaller adult bears. 😁
Well that’s actually beyond terrifying
That's his job. To be bigger and scarier than a bear, to protect the sheep. He's related to the Tibetan mastiff I used to have, but he was a sweetheart.
Where are there bears that small as adults? An adult average black bear near me is about 400lbs and I have seen ones much much larger.
Hello Vanessa! My husband grew up with this type of dog, his grandma owned one in white/ beige color!! She was a beastly girl, the mailman couldn’t deliver the mail when she was loose in a backyard. In the winter time she was carrying the sled with 6 grandchildren in it and had fun in the snow!! Standing she was taller then a person!! He has the best memories of this dog
Taller than a person? Like when the dog is standing on their back legs, I can see that.
@@endeeray4295 Yes, standing on the back legs!! Huge beast!!
WOW!
@@endeeray4295of course, that's just common sense 🤨
@grey3414 yes it is, but there's a dearth of commonsense out there these days.
That was one of the BEST gromming l have ever watched. This grommer is now my favorite Thank u thank u. The only thing l sure can't believe u coudnt resesisr resist giving him a BIG BIG Hug.Again thanks.
You are fenomenal! Your patiance and confidence with this HUGE dog shows that you are an individual who is very comformtable with animals , not only dogs, I am guessing. My hat off to you. You did and amaxing job and I hope your business get the recognizion it deserves. YOU are truly a master at what you do. Good vibes your way. Keep up the good work.
This is a sweet boy, he did so well!! I had a Saint Bernard that I washed at the neighborhood car wash. Tried many times to get him in the bathtub but he refused, so car wash it was! The look on people's faces when they pulled into the stall next to me was priceless!
Let ‘em stare…that was a great idea
I mean, where else can you wash a bulldozer... 😅
Wasn't the water pressure too high???
@donnab2340 A lot of car washes have variable pressure if it's not an auto wash. But yeah, man, I understand the concern because I almost lost a finger at one as a stupid kid.
That's a GREAT idea! Assuming you don't mean to pressure wash the poor dogs 🫥
When she was rubbing the shampoo in, his expression went from "I'll tolerate this" to "okay, maybe this actually isn't so bad" lol. What an adorable big lug.
He is just absolutely beautiful. He is definitely has such a wonderful temperament. His owners should be so proud of him. They have done such a great job raising him. I would love to own a dog like this but my family loves the small dogs. We own 7 pounder and 12 pounder pups. I love the fact you take the dogs most groomers pass on. Your compassion and caring for these animals is always delightful. You do such an amazing job getting them clean and looking their best again. I enjoy your videos so much and your knowledge on the breeds.
What a beautiful beast! And you are a brave lass! You have definitely found your calling!
For an Ovcharka, that is one well-behaved dog! The owners did a heck of a great job training and socializing him. He's such a beauty.
Ovcharka just means a shepherd dog, it's not any specific breed. There are man different ovcharkas - German, Caucasian, Central Asian, Australian, etc.
true @@1974djin
@@1974djin When people say Ovcharka (sheperd dog in Bulgarian/Russian), it generally refers to shepherd dogs from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus region, not German or Australian.
@@willek1335that's just not correct in general. Any of those dogs is ovcharka
@@4toby4to we're on the interwebs, and here people come from all around the world. In this international context, we generally attach the language used and the things that originate from that region together. An example is claymore and great sword, words coming from Scotland and England, respectively. Claymore literally means great+sword, but when people say that in an international setting, they specifically refers to great swords from Scotland.
BEYOND IMPRESSED! Ovcharka's are no joke...the owners did one hell of a job getting him desensitized, and you did an amazing job on him! What a good LGD!
absolutely beautiful transformation and lovely interaction...the gentle beasts!
You’re so tiny…and so brave. He turned out beautifully
Whoever bred this dog deserves a medal for providing dogs with excellent temperament. Shocking how easy he was with nail trimming
Это очень старая, проверенная порода, охранная и пастушья...У нас в России сейчас их несколько меньше, а во время СССР это была невероятно мгогочисленная порода!
Check out jozo dogs on youtube you'll see a different tempermant, if I can say.
This bred fron caucasian region, mountain Shepard from Georgia and Azerbaijan aria. Was really popular in USSR.
His head is broader than Vanessa's shoulders. That's a huge beastie! He was definitely liking the blow drying around his head...he was leaning into it and his expression was like, 'Oh man, this is a nice windstorm, just like a a huge storm coming over the Ural Mountains' . Great job Vanessa!
Sure there can be some kind of storm in the Ural-mountains ....but they do not exactly carry any sort of fame for storms. That mountain range isn't specially high either ....hence does not create big weather stuff. Don't know why Ural-mountains came to your mind since that type of dog does not come from there ...and also Ural-mountains are hardly not populated at all ...hence no dogs. It is in it's name ....it come from the Caucasus mountains which are 2-3 times higher in elevation (Mt. Elbrus 5642 meter / 18510 feet ...highest in Europe ) and are located over 2000 km away from closest part of Ural. The Caucasus region has plenty of people and do a lot of sheep herding in that extremely mountainous region....hence there are need for sheperd dogs. I've seen them in action in that very region ....right under Mt. Kazbek (5042 meter) in Georgia and in Sevan district in Armenia.
Believe me, I had a dog like that- your head fits into their mouth, easily.
Lol sometimes I have trouble with perspective and can’t tell actual size. When I saw her actual face next to the dog’s I was like “GAH DAMN, THAT REALLY IS A BIG BOI!”
@Dan-fo9dk I don't know why I was thinking of the Ural Mountains other than it's closer to Europe and southern Asia where some of the warmer summer breezes come up over the mountain from the Atlantic Ocean and turn to snow or moderate rainfall...Blow driers get a little "warm" in terms of the air that come off them and blow a lot of "wet" around...so I guess I was thinking a warm wet summer storm more than anything else.
More like the Caucasus Mountains
I don't know what to write anymore. You are so amazing. I love love love the way you talk to the dogs and how they listen and feel what you mean.
Absolutely outstanding. The work that you do is literally changing the lives of so many pets out there, plus for their owners. Thank you for being an advocate and educator for them.
You sure Dodge is a Caucasian Shepherd and not a Newfoundland in disguise? Like everyone else, I am beyond impressed with how well behaved he was. Massive kudos to his parents and to you as well, Vanessa. BTW, also amazed that the groom only took two and half hours. Just realized that the previous sentence is testament to how ridiculous massive this bear is. And just wondering, is this (by weight at least) the biggest client you've had?
I mean she would have noticed if the dog has webbed feet, right? (For context: Newfoundlands have webbed feet.)
Looks part St. Bernard to me, especially with all the drool.
I've worked with Newfies worse than this. He's a gem! To have a groomer with this kind of demeanor is also the key.
I was thinking the same about having a calm demeanor like a Newf! He reminded me so much of our Newf.
@@lauramolen9453 I had mine from 8 weeks till 17 years he was a gentle giant. My bosses sons used to ride on his back. I can't think of anyone that didn't like him.
The footage of you chasing him with the dryer as he politely tries to leave gives me life
😂😂😂
Good for you for having the courage to take a chance on this dog. He's so well behaved and gentle.
God bless you for this! He’s is the total description of a gentle giant! You are absolutely amazing! Give yourself a big hug! ❤
Our English Mastiff Beauregarde weighed 265lbs(seriously) and he absolutely loved baths. Groomers loved him! He was the epitome of the meaning of "Gentle Giant". Young lady, dogs can sense your intent. You are a brave and beautiful soul. Edit: Beauregarde also luuuuuved being vacuumed.
I love English Mastiffs and I really love the name that you gave him...a giant dopey musclehead with the name of a Southern gentleman, what's not to love 😊
Wow he weighs the same with a Sumatran tiger.
@@iganpparamarta8813 His head was the same dimensions as an adult male polar bear. He passed on to a place I truly believe God has made for His genuinely beloved creatures. Beauregarde saw everything as if it were a miracle. Snowflakes, butterflies, raindrops, rustling leaves, babies, ice cream cones - his reaction was always the same. His eyes would widen, he would look at me or my husband for permission to inspect. He lived life joyfully!

Caucasian Shepard's supposedly have the largest paws among dog breeds.a result of there mountain environment.
Yes the paws!! That clipper looked tiny all of a sudden 😅 Went missing between the toes😂😂
One of my neighbors has one. They are pretty mellow dogs. Not too eager for attention, but pleasant with people and enjoy interaction but not obsessive about getting it. Good natured animals, but I wouldn't want to have one. Too short of a lifespan.

He is truly a magnificent beast!!! You did an amazing job!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in total admiration for your work & dedication with this gorgeous & gentle dog!
As someone who has a 220 pound dog who is an absolute sweetheart, who is often refused services based soley on size and appearance (Bernese Mountain Dog x Great Pyrenese) I really appreciate the time, effort and commitment you offer these pups! truly respect what you do and how you do it.
I'm so jealous of you!
There is a huge Kangal dog nextdoor and he is the sweetest. Such a gentle giant, a baby. Nonetheless, people are scared of him like he is the devil 😄
Reminds me of a dog I used to work on when I was a bather. He is a Newfoundland and great Pyrenees mix. Absolute sweetheart as well! When I would scrub and towel dry his head in the tub he would always rest his head on my chest and all but fall asleep. Sweet boy!!
I wish I could pet your dog. I'll bet your dog has lots of soft floof.
I believe your success is due to your professionalism, knowledge, and intonation that makes the dog be at ease, trusting. Godspeed
“I’m not gonna force him to stand if he doesn’t want to stand” **shoving him around in the shower to try to make him stand** I love this channel so much 😂

Outstanding job. She is a remarkable groomer & such a gentle voice. She really takes charge & works thorough but fast to earn the dog’s trust. ❤❤❤
Beautiful job grooming this gorgeous boy. The dogs seem to know that you're so patient and gentle with them.
I own two of them. 215 lbs and 223 lbs. Abbott and Costello. I just put them in another room when I have company. Big fluffly puppies for me, but absolute tanks. I groom my own too.
Holly crap dude props to you
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
ABBOTT & COSTELLO!!! what a perfect pair name 😄
I also have 2 and mine are absolutely lovely but would definitely not allow strangers touch them on their territory although seem ok when we go to the vet (he allows us to come after hours when there are no other dogs). Living in a very remote area close to the forest feels great having them guarding the house
Bud & Lou to fit on the bowls? My dad had an 8mm excerpt from, I believe, Buck Privates. The scene where Lou tries to get onto his upper bunk bed 😂
Dog doesn't need a bandana, good boy needs a tablecloth! Amazing transformation
He needs a bib!
@@mazmellem2773 You mean a bib the size of a tablecloth. 🙃
@@GeorgeTheBrownsFan 😂
@@mazmellem2773 I was just going to say that 😂
How could people dislike these beautiful and blissful videos with these majestic doggos? If you're unsatisfied with these videos and could dislike it, I'm sure you're not likable by others of your true nature. Keep up the good work! Absolutely feel good and amazing videos
I just love the way you constantly talk to him, & praise him🤩💖
It would have taken me all my strength not to lie down on the floor next to this floofer and cuddle him for rest of the appointment. He looks phenomenal after the groom! What a gentle , confident, marvelous creature - a hulking testament to his owner's love and care.
Right? Totally a "Oh we have two extra hours? Cool, I'm just gonna uh, take a nap on top of this floofy doggo"
@@KingdomFantasy669poor Vanessa will be spending the next three hours clear up all the floof from the entire shop, it’s every where !!!
@@KingdomFantasy669 Yes! I imagine Dodge wouldn't even notice if you laid your head on him for a moment and definitely looks like a cuddly beast :D
@@jeffhughes6167 I imagine it's worth it:D
Ikr, what a wonderful floofy dog! 🥰 In winter I wouldn't even need my heated blanket, just sleep next to this cozy floofer! 😴
Even my cat was impressed. She watched the drying part with interest. Maybe she wants one now
@uliwehner I've had a harder time WASHING my cat!
It beautiful boy. Thank you for taking such loving care.
I’ve been just like rolling through her videos today and of all the videos I’ve watched, he’s THE biggest and THE MOST well-behaved dog I’ve seen her groom. It’s shocking but also VERY cool
It was cool to watch his anxiety fade and he trusted her. He wasn't happy, but he was a patient and best boy.
"he doesn't mind strangers in the house as long as he gets pets" a perfect description of our family firend's newfounlander. As soon as our 6month old showed him interest he was all sold for her. This dog raised three kids of that friend so he was familiar with smol humans and greatly appreciated pat pats and laughter of our daughter when he sniffed her.
I lost count of how many times I have watched him. Just cant get enough of this beautiful dog!
You really have some interesting dogs. That's so nice that you help out with the rescues. I wish there were more people like you. ❤ Nice job.🐩
With ovcharkas, it very much depends on the line you get. Show line ovcharkas are much more placid and on the larger side, whereas working line are much more ferocious and on the smaller end
I think that is true on a lot of breeds.
Definitely! Even a working line Lab can be too much dog for most people
@wheresmycheese8511 My dad hunts in marshlands for birds and has always had a female working line black lab as a hunting partner. Its gotten to the point of where they are almost a different breed from the show lines. They are built differently, generally more slender, a bit smaller, smarter and have drive to retrieve for days. Outside of hunting season, he spends an hour or 2 a day having her retrieve tennis balls or do nosework to find retrieving dummies. Such is her drive to retrieve things, she needs to run and retrieve every single day. I would say having a working dog is generally "too much dog" for the average person unless it is going to perform the task it is meant to perform.
Dude was SO chill. Also, I love how he sounds like an old locomotive. Just giant old chungus living his best life❤
Any idea why they breathe so fast and also not over their nose?
@@sensei470one reason digs pant is to regulate body temperature. He is a very large and very hairy dog after all.
Loved the message of giving every dog a chance despite the breed. Wish more people were that smart and kind.
Beautiful animal - inside and out! His owners have done an amazing job socializing him! And you are awesome!
I just love how he’s essentially a corrupt official: should be guarding his territory but is easily bribable! 😂 What a sweet boy, and what an amazing job you’ve done. Easy to see why the owner drove 2 hours to meet you!
Senior soviet apparatchik, I imagine.
I've met several corrupted guard dogs, one pair of white jindos and another time a golden retriever who would suck up the petting and attention until one day their owners came out of the house and they'd jump back and emit a few barks to make it look like they weren't slacking. Of the 2 jindos, when almost getting busted, one looked up at the sky like he didn't see me and the other proceeded to bark at the ground near me, from the approaching owner, it would look as if he was barking at me but from my angle, he was clearly barking at a stepping stone, I give that last dog credit for smart thinking in a pinch!
My 11 years old Caucasian died two days ago. She was the most beautiful, well-behaved, just overall nice and sweet girl. No one belived that such a big and scary looking dog can be so charming and so calm. Watching you groom this big boy brings me memories of my sweet Yasya. Such a lovely breed❤
I'm so very sorry for your loss. 😢❤😢
So sorry for your loss. She's watching you now and wagging her tail to let you know she's OK -- and she wants you to be OK too.
My nana's yard neighbor recently brought a Caucasian Ovcharka home, and OMFG, HE'S SUCH A GOOD BOOOOOOY!!!😢😢😢😢 He is so sweet and jumpy!! I love dogs, man, I love them so much!!
Sending you a hug. I’m so sorry…
So, so very sorry about your loss. I really understand. 😢
Well, this is lucky 13 for me watching him. Definitely my favorite of all your videos. Don’t ever take it down, I would cry. Just love him, he is so perfect!
OMG! Just had to comment. Our long history of Golden Retrievers was over 7 years ago and I somehow stumbled upon your channel. Our largest was Phoebe, a mere 42 pound giant and setting aside a whole Saturday afternoon every month became a tiresome chore. What you have done here is absolutely phenomenal. We decided not to have dogs anymore because after our last dog Tina, a Jack Russel, I just couldn’t take the heart wrenching pain of losing them. Our family loves dogs but I just can’t take it anymore.
You’re absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen a dog groomer who was as in-tune and knowledgeable. It warms my heart knowing folks like you are out there!!
I think one reason he kept calm was that he understood he was in the presence of a fluff witch and these are just weird things that one must accept for clean fluff 😅
@@johannasildam3835a fluff witch 😂😂😂 that's a fun mental picture
I love your conversations with the animals. We can see that this is more than a job. This is a passion. You tell the pups they smell gross, then apologize to them ❤️
pretty sure the animals are like "oh, this animal talks to me, no need to activate murder stance"
I love this video. Because of your cuteness and his hugeness, I chuckled all the way through. You're awesome!
Such a well behaved dog …. You treat the dogs so well !! Blessings to you ❣️💕❤️
I've had one of those fluffy bears... passive resisistance like "i'm just gonna sit here no matter how hard you're going to push me, try me honey" is just their thing, at least from my experience. Bite, growl? Never. But when she REALLY didn't like something she just didn't cooperate AT ALL. She was like "try to do what you want if you have to, but don't count on me on this! I'm officially turning into a mountain unless you change your mind and leave me alone". And since she was huge... well... We called her a tank.
I think your personality & temperament put him at ease. If I were his owner, I'd drive 2 hours everytime to have you groom him. Such a positive grooming experience for him 🎉🎉
I would too!!! In a heartbeat!
It's so satisfying seeing the work you put into the grooming. Another excellent job! 👌. He looks fabulous! 😍
I've watched this several times and am always amazed at the size of his paws! The furnado is so satisfying and his sweet nature makes me adore him!
That is truly the biggest dog I've ever seen. Kudos to you for a successful groom. The largest dog we had was an Akita/Lab mix, and he was only 110 pounds. But much like this fellow, he didn't have an aggressive bone in his body. Because he grew up with cats, he took to laying on the back of the couch, and was happy to have kittens use him for a jungle gym. It's been nearly twenty years and I miss him still.
Totally agree
I had an Akita Lab mix as well. At least, mom was Akita ( pure bred, papers carrying show dog ), dad was a volunteer that I assume was a black lab. He was a sweet pup. One of his brothers was NOT a sweet pup. So, either I did a better job of raising mine, or there's a genetic roll of the dice as well.
This was such a sweet story Thank you for sharing it 🥹
$200 at least
Wow, are you kidding me? The dog didn't even react to having his nails clipped? I have yet to have a dog that doesn't hate that. Man, I fell in love with this dog. What a beautiful animal. I've had mostly huge dogs throughout my life and this one is really special. Choosing a dog based on temperament and not looks is really key. Some dogs have really high energy and if you choose that dog, it is on YOU to keep up with that energy. If you want a dog that works will a sedentary life, choose the one that is NOT running up to you right away. Choose the one that is chilling.
Yes! Many so called bad dogs are just dogs with owners that don't have the same energy level as the dog or don't work off that energy. You have to put in the time, work, and commitment to your dog and their energy levels . An old sedentary couple in the same dog training class as me have the most hyper dog I've seen in a long time. A ton of barking and non-stop wiggle butt is how the dog is the whole time during the session. Only settled down when given a puzzle treat. The dog doesn't get walked a lot of days. 😮 That dog needs like a 2-3 hour run every day to get some energy drained. Choose a lower energy level dog than yourself or the same, at most.
@gametime2473 wonderful comment this 👍
Thank you! 😄@@KathleenFarrell-vv2kv
Had to watch this again! What a gorgeous, well-behaved dog!! You did a magnificent job, as usual, Vanessa! Thank you.
Oh if I had the wear with all to own a beauty such as him. Bless all who can take on a gentle giant such as this boy. They deserve a great life . Thank you Girl with the dogs. You really have a heart of gold. ✌️❤️👏💯🐈⬛
This dog’s owner is AMAZING!! She trained him so well and kept his skin in amazing condition!
When would you have imagined that one of your best behaved clients in a while would be a Caucasian Shepherd? Truly amazing, Vanessa!
It's those Poms and Chihuahuas that you ought to be wary of :)
What a sweet dog ❤. What a transformation. You have a gift!
"Every dog should be given the benefit of the doubt" What an amazing boy! Your videos and approach are wonderful!
