That's what you call hazard pay 

I am so happy we can find good people so easily on Utube. Your daughter certainly deserves comfort from the very good woman, Vanessa. .

I hope she's home soon.

RU-vid can be a great comfort, I watched this channel in hospital, too! Feel better, darlin' ❤

Buying merch from people who are great with animals just feels good, man.

I sincerely hope your daughter is doing well and will enjoy a life of happiness with you and her family. This channel is really great and definitely a joy to watch!

I hope his owners can find a groomer closer to home. Driving both directions plus the groom makes for a very long day. For a dog who needs regular grooming that would be hard on the owners and the dog. He really is a cutie. He reminds me of a toddler testing his boundaries. Great job and thanks for the video!😊✌🐕

Yeah, they did!

Yes they did!

​@@chanmi1957dogs usually start testing boundaries at about a year old (it translates to being a teenager).

@chanmi1957 ...WRONG...a day is a day..no matter what you do...they did everything for the right reason too!!!

You have to have that firm calm voice with kids or dogs 😊

21:55 You're Welcome

@@mrscatlady912True

We do it for our own sanity lol and wishful thinking that it will let the universe know what we are trying to communicate to the dog lol😅

Can you say with confidence that you(or most dog owners) don't talk to your dog like it is your child/younger family member when they missbehave? I myself just naturally go into a different voice and pitch when talking to any of my animals(including my guinea pigs XD) and I think most people that care about their pets talk to them as if they understand us. :D

Our family dog that we adopted as an adult was so afraid of brooms and vacuum cleaners that he would run away and we had to cross the street for brooms. We managed to desensitize him and by the end he would lie all relaxed until the vacuum would literally touch him or we had to tell him to go away. I guess it works for some and it doesn‘t for others.

That’s heartbreaking. I hope that person/people never got another pet

@@elizabethhayman-oldham5151 Me too! But we don’t know whether he even had an owner because the adoption agency was so shady. He clearly was street smart and knew what a trash can was

That breaks my heart! 💔😢 thank you for giving him the best life he deserved

Poor guy 😞

I've brought my dog to a groomer who didn't take into consideration my dog's anxiety. When I arrived to pick him up, he was so traumatized that he clung to me as if he had experienced unbearable torture! It is always a great sign if the dog is happy and ready to play after a situation that could have been a very scary time!

🎉 yup!!!

😂

Its like he was saying : "I think you are a nice lady and i wanna be the bestest boi but i scared.... dont hate me" 😊

Absolutely avoid that first groomer! Unfortunately there are some still who go by the (completely disproven) 'dominance' theory of dog handling, or who can't read a dog's anxious body language well, or - perhaps worse - who have just got tired of caring and will yell at dogs or hit them to force them into submission! I've heard plenty of horror stories from new clients of why they left former groomers, and not once have any of their dogs been unhandleable with a little patience and clear instruction and positive reinforcement. Most dogs will calm right down and be so happy to cooperate if you can just let them know clearly what you want them to do and that they're being A Good Dog!

We’ve had similar experience. Couple shops banned him because either they are afraid he’ll jump off grooming table and hang himself or they are afraid he’ll hurt them. I understand because he is very mouthy and his smile looks like a snarl. Instead we found a mobile groomer who treats Teddybear well, seems to like him, and has no problems at all. More expensive but for now we can afford it.

And no one has more patience than Vanessa.

@@momofschnauzers That is 100% true!

Actually not all dogs get over it. Some dogs don't, and shouldn't, be bathed regularly like a goldendoodle would, and don't appreciate it either. Like many breeds of working dogs with double coats. The shampooing strips their coat of the natural oils and texture that help the coat to do it's job. Dogs like the Great Pyrenees, like mine. I brush my dogs coat twice per week and can get it done in about 15 minutes or less if needed. She loves it. But water touching her.....not so much. It's hard to convince a dog who's DNA demands that actual bathing is weird and wrong, to allow you to destroy thousands of years of fine-tuning to NOT be shampooed. Plus, there's the problem of moving a 130 lb dog who doesn't want to be moved! Fortunately, these types of dogs don't require much more than brushing and nail clipping. Absolutely no shaving their coats unless for medical care, and washing only if really needed, at most, the very most, twice per year, and maybe never. Just brushing out their coats regularly keeps them surprisingly clean. Our ancestors bred these dogs with this characteristic in mind because it was necessary for the job. We have to respect a dog's breed and the fact that us humans often lay down perceptions and rules that we think should apply to all dogs. And that is simply not true.

@@_JiminyCricket_ It is indeed very sad, it's why we have to take it slow.

@@Yosetimethey didn't say "all dogs". Good grief. "Dogs like this". Doodles were NOT bred to be self cleaning, obviously. What was the point of your essay? To state the obvious? Dogs deserve to feel good free of dirt, stink and skin irritation. Mat-free. You can enjoy your stanky dog. Even working dogs have been groomed on this channel but if you want a gold star for speaking up then here you go ⭐️

Same!

....and how much he loves the owner!

I actually teared up at that part.

My what beautiful teeth you have there, grandma, Red Riding Hood said to the wolf.

I hope his family had an enjoyable time in Toronto and that they had a good drive home. They have shown their love and consideration for Bumpy.

it's Dexter for dog-lovers.

Thank you for being a responsible doodle owner with the monthly grooms! 🐾❤

Some get these pups as not meant to cast hair?They don’t realize they need clipped and groomed regularly. Many of these breeds end up with messy coats and neglected it’s sad.Owner of this dog is obviously very caring to drive seven hours to get him clipped.x

True !! dogs in general don’t like their paws being touched and the noise of clippers scares them like no other !

It drives me nuts that backyard breeders mix poodles with everything now, and people buy them without understanding that the dog needs training and structure to be great. Then the poor dogs get dumped because they’re not cute puppies anymore and have developed bad behaviors. It’s so unfair to the dogs.

Someone needs to design silent clippers

@@trishblakely3476We need to bring back mutts. They’re generally healthier. Than these overbred dogs around these days. I wonder what happened to stray dogs here in the US. They are very rare to see.

​....TOTALLY AGREE...although ANY mixing sucks...

i adopted and she has the best temperament, sweetest dog i’ve ever met! it’s really just about patience and meeting every dog until you find one that vibes… i had to make several visits before i found mine. also better if they’re 2+ y/o where they already have an established temperament

I think you should take your time and adopt a dog that is suited to you and your lifestyle.

That’s so sad, they’re naturally very happy dogs. Our 8 month old is always happy and excited about everything, humans can ruin dogs, and save them

I have my dog on Prozac and recently added the supplement L-Theanine to help my dog's everyday anxiety.

Unfortunately, since most if not all doodles are brought into this world for money and moneey alone, a stable temperament isn't a priority. The same thing happens with byb German Shepherds and Huskies where you have dogs with poor temperaments or behavioral issues caused by their conflicting instincts. It's so sad, the dogs don't deserve this.😢

Have you tried playing calming music to the pup and/or using calming essential oils on him?

but you're now giving him the best life you can and loving him regardless of his start in life. You're doing the best thing for him and you understand his anxieties. Good job on that! Don't beat yourself up for other people's mistakes.

I think he's a doodle! Also extremely sensitive babies.

Yes, especially if he wasn't treated very well in his tender months whipping out something noisy like some clippers that he's never seen before and he'll most certainly get scared, stressed, and retaliate. Someone inexperienced with dogs who show aggression when scared might not know how to react in the situation and be unsure of how to proceed. It's good they brought him to Vanessa so she could coach them on how to best proceed with him moving forward.

💯 I wish there was a groomer like Vanessa where I live!

I think it also depends on the dog. The dogs personality and past. I didn’t start with my Bernadoodle until she was like 5-6 months. And she was fantastic and still is.

⁠@@jenniesmythe8188 that’s pure luck then, it’s highly recommended to start their grooming at 3 or 4 months

@@b.r.v.8609 Good poodle breeders will start introducing clipper vibrations to the pups around 4-6 weeks and even shave their faces. The sooner the better.

⁠@@tontolapiko1067this is a doodle and they don’t typically come from good breeders unfortunately. Their temperament and coat types are also very unpredictable. I have groomed many doodles just like this guy. I wish more owners of all dog breeds would begin their dogs grooming at as young an age as possible to hopefully prevent issues like this dog has.

@@b.r.v.8609 Agreed. Not a supporter of doodle breeding in any way.

I can't believe people are traveling 100's of miles to take their dog to one particular groomer! There are good, patient groomers in every city. Vanessa is absolutely great, but she isn't the only groomer in Canada and the US who can handle a difficult or scared dog. The owners aren't going to be able to travel so far every time their dog needs a trim, so I don't know how this is that beneficial. I think it has more to do with getting their dog on camera and groomed by a famous groomer than anything, which I get. It would be an experience they will never forget! But as for really helping the dog long-term, it isn't a solution. They still have to find a groomer in their area who can handle a scared dog. They need to ask around in their local area, ask the vet, etc., for recommendations. I guess the argument is that somehow Vanessa can "teach" other groomers how to handle that particular dog, but there are plenty of groomers with decades of experience who don't need to be taught how to groom a challenging dog.

ÑhN

​@mygirldarby but this was the first professional groom and the dog needed a good experience.

I think the owners made the best choice they felt they could. If there were groomers near them that has RU-vid videos, they could have more choices. To my understanding, groomers don't allow for owners to be allowed to be around at a grooming. Would you let your kid be taken from you during a doctor appointment? I would hope not. So how do you judge a groomers attitude and whether they will take the necessary time to work with a difficult dog? I have watched a lot of groomers on RU-vid and Vanessa is by far the most patient and soothing. She would be a best choice for a first groom. Someone screwed up this dog. Vanessa had the patience to figure out the problems. Now the owners have hope of finding a nearby groomer. They can even show the video of Vanessa. If the new groomer is too proud to take advice, they are not a good choice.

@susycavaleiro1265 Let’s be careful not to idealize color, that’s how many poorly bred doodles come into the world. They’re sold on color, as are most doodles and backyard bred dogs. Beware of things like so-called “rare” or “exotic” or “unique” colors, most often they’re just incorrect to the breed bc the genetics are crap and they’re mixed with random other dogs.

We have 3 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats. You are spot on about problems and love.

I am reminded of the Wookie names in Star Wars Christmas Special that George Lucas said something like "If I had infinite time and sledge hammer, I would hunt down every single copy of."

Why are names like Max, Sam, Ranger, Ben, Boy, Rex and many more like that not given by dogs, instead of stupid long names with like 3 diferent vowls???

hey! that was my first dog's name. she was a golden/airedale mix and one of the sweetest, smartest dogs i have ever known. r.i.p. my sweet baby

@@comdrwhy aren’t those names given “by” dogs? I don’t think they have a choice since they’re given by the owners. Poor dogs. 😂 And why not name a dog any name that the owner likes and the dog respond to, right?

@@bumpandsquishit’s a great name and your dog sounds like she was the greatest girl!
