    I wonder if owners who use unique command words ever share them with their dog's groomer. I still remember the awkward moment when we were asked if our 90lbs pup knew "down" or "lay" and we were like "Oh! Yeah, no, sorry about that. 'Down' is to get off of something like the couch or bed, 'lay' is on her side, and *'crash'* gets her to lay down."
    Groomer laughed and said "that would explain why she kept trying to leave the table when we said down." 😅

    My grandmother had a beautiful Great Pyrenees rescue. She was a retired livestock dog that no one wanted bc of her size and thick matted coat. It was horrible to find a groomer for her, not bc of her temperment but her size and coat. When a groomer was found it took five hours to clean her up and give her skin some relief bc the matting caused sores 😢.
    What you are doing for this beautiful fluffy cloud is commendable. Thank you so very very much for helping this incredible breed ❤️

      😢 I think as we go along we learn more and more about companion animals. My mom was gifted a Border Collie mix puppy in the 1980s. What was wrong is she's a retired elementary school teacher. This dog didn't get enough exercise or socialization outside of our immediate family. I left home in '84 and my sister in '91 then pupper had to wait until mom finally got home after 12 hours being gone or more. When we were young we'd get home from school and let him outside he would run around 10x. After I left home, my younger sister had to walk him. But she wasn't very heavy and he walked her.
      He shouldn't have been living in suburbia, but a sheep farm. His later years he was overweight, protective of immediate family and paranoid with strangers. He had a stroke. He was at least 15 because our cat was 21 and died the same year or year before. My mom has never had another animal! My step father bought her the puppy! They are still married. Lol

We live in upstate NY so her winter fur is truly meant for the cold weather. Then Spring comes.....I can look up into the trees and see white birds nests all over the place made with her fur. I saw a little bird that looked like she had a white beard fly by.

    This brought back memories. My 1st pry adopted us,came with the land we bought. He actually /originally belonged to the lady across the hill. He started staying with us all the time. Eventually I decided he HAD to be groomed. Groomers wanted $300 to $400 to do the job. We decided to do it ourselves. Fortunately we had a garden tub. When all was done, we discovered he had a brown mask over his left eye. The tips of his ears were dark brown. The rest of his body was snow white. We literally filled a yard trash bag with hair. He was a happy camper. Ran across the lady at the store. She asked if we had bathed him. She couldn't believe that my son and I had done it. However, I found out her and her 3 grown sons would bath him in a stock tank. He didn't like that because he wanted warm showers. Miss him like crazy.

So I shaved them, like every groomer. But it made the mud tracking ten times worse! I don't know why. Is just the opposite for my bichon and cat.

      Maybe, but not always. Depends on the breed of big dog. The best way to pick a big dog is to look at what they were meant for, actually any breed or size should be chosen that way. Questions to ask yourself, what is my life style? Mastiff’s actually don’t need a big yard, especially when they age. They are generally quiet, easy going and pretty lazy. They need a short walk. They need enough room in the house to get around, they can live in an apartment. Expensive, but super easy. I love German Shepherds but could never own one, they need constant daily outside stimulation, running, to be happy. I’m sticking to rescued English Mastiff’s I get exactly the perfect dog every time 😊I’m on number 4.

So, to stand in one spot for hours is more then they can generally handle without a lot of breaks.

      Great Pyrenees are unique and beautiful. They have very good hearing, must be allowed to evaluate strangers and are acutely aware of their surroundings. The hair should be brushed with different brushes at least 2-3 times per week. Other dogs are not welcome. But familiarity is key in allowing new dogs and people in their spaces. I’m sure you’ll find great joy and pride walking your Great Pyrenees. They will walk a few times a day. But they aren’t going for long distances and physically demanding exercise.

    The view of you doing his back legs fondly reminds me of ferriers doing a horse's hooves and that makes my day
    You did an amazing job with this guy, accommodating what he'll tolerate and what he won't, going with what works best at any given situation and overall giving this big fluffy cloud the spa day he deserves! He turned out great!!

      I was thinking that too, and imagining a miniature version of the stand the farriers use to elevate a hoof...

    I have a Samoyed and he's very nervous towards strangers, but for some reason he's always been amazing with groomers, and he's such a good boy at home too so 3 years ago I had finally got a high velocity dryer and started doing it myself too. It's so much fluff!! I love your videos because it helped to make sure I was doing things right :)

    VANESSA!! I watched most of this video with my mouth hanging wide open bc I have never seen so much hair swirling around! He turned your shop into a snow globe for sure ❤️

    You need to get a non slip rug for the big dogs. He didn't want to lay down because his legs would splay when he tried to get back up. My big dogs always found laying on a smooth surface difficult. Great job with him he's so floozy I can't believe the mess!! Lmao ❤❤

      Mine as well especially when he got older. We had beautiful hardwood floors………we covered them all with rugs to make it easier for him to get up. Hes a St Bernard mix and will be 12 next month. Love my boy.

    He looks like a polar bear and the shop looks like a blizzard hit! Good job on this handsome boy. 🐾❤️

    You can tell at some points he was really relaxing and enjoy it. What a good boy ❤

    He looks so much more comfortable! The garden pics of "after" are real "glam shots". Your peonies and garden must also be a lot of work. It's all so lovely. What a lot of fluffy fur everywhere. Great camera work.

    I’m glad you were so patient with him. Sometimes, he even looked regretful that he was causing you so much trouble. Some dogs shed enough floof to make a pillow- Duke had enough to make a mattress!! ❤️

    Our Pyrenean used to push us into a corner, or against the kitchen units. It was like he thought we were human walls for him to lean on. Haha. He was stunning. This dog has a face just like him. ❤

      So sweet, huge dogs are the best...he has the face & mannerisms of our GIANT Aussie mix Pepper Jack - blue merle land cloud w/heterochromia.
      He also leaned on us so hard our knees would buckle. He was a clown, too much personality to fit in 1 dog, yet calm enough to become a therapy animal (except during fireworks or thunderstorms, in which he'd kick bathroom doors shut to lock him in, or get stuck halfway under the bed).
      Malignant heart tumor took him FAR too early one horrible day, miss you lil bro💔

    Giant hairy beast is definitely the correct statement. Beautiful animal.

    I love watching the big dogs because they're always so calm and well-behaved even when you get all up in their faces with the very worst parts of the bath.
