Just think: this is him *sedated* 🤯
I'm terrified 😨
😮
That was going to be my question, why didn't they give the A little something to help him
😂😂😂😂
On another one of her videos, people commented that sometimes sedation makes a dog worse.
My fur baby passed away in April, I got him as a support animal for my own anxiety, PTSD and depression. When he started going blind our positions swapped and I became a companion for his anxiety and depression. I miss him so much.
This is practically me with my rabbit that passed in March. He was given to me because I was getting very depressed from the new permanent health problems I was starting to have. He was my support animal, he became my main focus instead of continuously falling in that depression. When he was dying I was in a way better shape mentally. The morning after, my dad quickly swooped in to keep me occupied so I didn't start spiralling. My rabbit came into my life when I was depressed and left when I was healthy again. Strange how that works. I still miss him dearly but it's better to think about the good times and move on than dwelling on what I could've done and reversing all of his hard work.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
"You sound like a bird"
Homie's tryin to fly like one too

l😂l poor guy 😢
What a horror he must be in his neighbourhood! My goodness!
Poor baby. It must be so hard to be so frightened. Thank you Vanessa for being the person who can push through for him.
Crazy stressed while sedated. I feel so bad for this poor guy.
Unfortunately a lot of sedated pets are worse on the sedition then if not medicated.
Definitely something you live and learn with, as much like humans dogs can react wildly to different medications.
I remember my sister's dog Kiki was given some medicine after a tumor removal to reduce the pain and make her sleepy, but she ended up spending the next four hours hyperventilating and pressing her face against my sister's leg or the nearest wall ;v; so needless to say we got the okay from the vet to just give her tylenol instead going forward.
I have a cat who hates feeling "altered" by the sedation. You can tell it terrifies him that he can't think
straight, so he fights it and becomes a sedated nervous wreck who vomits and has diarrhea. That's why when people say Gabapentin is some kind of wonder drug, I am sad.
@@GracieValenti1 Gabapentin has helped my dog greatly. She has Isolation Anxiety and is also scared of thunder (fireworks don't seem to bother her, oddly enough).
@@lynitawhitlow7309 really? I didn't know that
Take care of your ears guys! They can not be fixed and you don't want to spend the rest of your life with tinnitus.
Amen! My late dad, a WW2 survivor, had his hearing munted by the roar of the 25-pound field gun he was assigned to, with a "sergeant" that made the men stand to attention when the gun was discharged, denying permission to put their fingers in their ears, as was sensible. He had howling tinnitus for the rest of his life.
@@peteacher52 People underestimate the value of ear protection a lot or maybe it's lazyness! I have to constantly remind some of my family members to put in the earplugs when using things like lawnmowers, electric saws, etc...
I’m an ear doctor and I can’t tell you the number of people who when I ask about noise exposure tell me they’ve had none or hand waive the answer because they don’t count it if it was in the past. Your body doesn’t forget!
i was born with tinnitus and can confirm it’s not fun. no moment is ever truly silent.
I have 97% hearing loss and have tinnitus
in my left ear. I wear hearing protection when we take the dogs to the doggie wash. My German Shepherd is especially loud. I also wear hearing protection when I vacuum, work in the yard with a blower, weed whacker, lawnmower,when I’m using a sander or anything else that makes noise. I can’t get the hearing back in my left ear, but I fully intend to protect what hearing I have left in my right ear!
When you're trying to hear Vanessa give sage words...and all the animals here at home are trying to figure out who's dying.
😂😂😂😂
I've learned to watch many channels I follow while wearing earbuds 😅
My kitties freak out less 😊
@@KOKO-uu7ydme too! Earbuds all the way. 😂
😂😂😂 Seriously!! It's always like that here at my home as well. 😂😂😂
I have a difficult time watching videos with cats, due to the reactions of mine at home. I never thought of using ear buds. Thanks for suggesting it. ❤
To me this definitely looks like a dementia type anxiety reaction. I used to work in care and one of the most common dual disorders with diagnosed dementias was anxiety and/or depression. The fear of not knowing fully what is going on or why drives huge waves of anxiety. I can imagine it is very similar with dogs. My grandad's collie had dementia and would just stand staring at the wall until someone came by to give her a nudge in the right direction, like she was being paused, but luckily she didn't have any severe anxiety around it. Whereas my elderly cat would become very stressed and wail loudly if she wasn't sure where one of us was (even if we were in the same room) and we would have to get her attention, which always calmed her down straight away as she felt secure again. The way this boyo reacts is very like how my cat was, not at all aggressive, just very anxious about having someone nearby to make them feel safe.
I agree! I heard lots of clues where this sweet dog seems confused by very basic things (like the leash), and the fact that he gets very anxious the second she leaves, like he can't maintain the idea that she's there. I haven't had a pet face dementia yet. Closest I got was when my elderly cat became completely blind. She had a panic attack because she couldn't find me and couldn't figure out how to get off of her food platform. (Our other cat was very fat, so I'd put my cat's food up high.) Once we worked out what was going on, and changed things for her, she settled down.
Hes like that because he’s sedated. He’s showing zero signs of past trauma. He’s showing signs of a dog that is used to getting his way when he does something so when it’s not working he’s getting worse… this is bad ownership unfortunately
@@xobelladonna2443 that would make sense if he had always been this way, but he had previously been fine with grooming until he became older. The fact that he is sedated and still this anxious is what strikes me as being something far more neurological than behavioural. Dogs don't just suddenly decide to misbehave after a decade of being well behaved. I never suggested there was a trauma in his past, I based my observations off personal experience of dementia in both humans and animals.
Dogs are not human they do not think. I was a groomer and a dog behavioralist/trainer, I retired because I was injured in a car accident and am now disabled. The video is in part not a good idea because the dog does not know you are not talking to him a video like this should be narrated and the only thing said to the dog should be a correction for barking and misbehavior. When you talk nice to a dog in distress the dog's bad behavior is rewarded and he now feels he is doing the right thing. Fear, aggression, and any bad or unwanted behavior should have consequences, not pets, pats, and good boys. Animals do not get dementia, they do get depressed but not in the same way people do. They forget as soon as the issue changes. People some more than others hang on as if their life depended on them having sympathy. Too many people treat dogs like they do their children dogs are pack animals they need a pecking order if no one leads some get really unhappy and try to fit into the part of the leader. When the humans in the pack won't follow them they get anxious and even aggressive. You have to be the boss of the dog or the dog will not respect who you are. A dog who does not want to be pack leader will act like the dog in this video or get aggressive sometimes both.
@@sneakypenguin2861 he has always been this way you can tell. The owners are full of bologna.
I had to look this up:
_Dogs can get dementia, but not Alzheimer's. Dementia in dogs is known as Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CCDS). It is a neurological disorder that affects older dogs and causes symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, listlessness, and other behavioral changes. CCDS is similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans, but it is not the same brain disease._
My parents' yorkie/chihuahua suffered with this (plus blindness!) during his last couple of years. It was heartbreaking to see, because he had practically become a different dog at that point. He didn't get mean or anything, but he just seemed...lost most of the time 😢
Thank you for this comment! My elderly girl has started to show some symptoms of this. Her confusion at times is becoming more noticeable.
* edit to add as well as other behavioral symptoms.
That's really interesting. I can't imagine having a pet with dementia. After watching my mother suffer with dementia for years my heart goes out to you.
This absolutely be a consideration. He did so well as he could with time and attention.
Cats too! My older cats sometimes forget where they are and have to be "snapped" out of it.
I had a mini schnauzer who had horrible dementia. She was good to groom when she was younger, but as she got older, she too got fired from groomers. Thank you for working with the older touchy ones. It is hard to find groomers who accept them. I used to trim one foot of her nails outside and my neighbors reported me for dog abuse. I wasn't hurting her, she was just so sensitive she screamed.
Our darling Wheaten Terrier developed laryngeal paralysis in her last two years and could not tolerate visits to the groomer. We found a groomer who made house calls who came around every month. Molly loved her and looked like a champ to the end.
I'm sorry to hear that about your girl. That must've been so hard to watch. ❤
Since you had a Wheaton terrier, I have a question. I'm not super familiar with Wheaton Terriers. Is this pup that Vanessa worked on typical in size for a male Wheaton? For some reason, I thought they were shorter. He's quite a beautiful boi though. Really love his build, coloring, those adorable ears.
I’ve seen bigger males. We had two girls, they were in the 35 lb range (a little over weight). It is a charming breed. I hope this boy is happier when not being groomed
did your housecaller bring a van or actually groom within your home? it seems to me in my experience like actually staying/being IN-home is more stress reducing than merely a mini-salon that parks on the curb.
Awe I know this is odd but my dad is suffering from that right now and he hasn’t been able to talk In a month, now they want to do surgery on him while he’s awake! So sorry for your loss as well ❤️
Sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.
Her family and her new friend, the groomer
refreshed her spirit and her dignity stayed
with her. Bless you loving hearts.❤❤❤❤
I felt the most sorry for this boy than any other dogs I’ve seen on your videos. He was so stressed it broke my heart.
It's lava, sandpaper, flame thrower and fluffin death machines!!!! Wait! Person with fluffin death machines, don't leave me alone!!!! King of mixed messages 😂
Yep and they are not claw clippers but the guillotine 😂
🏆😅🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🏆
@@grannyweatherwax9666😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Heh.. "Leave me alone! Wait, no, don't leave me alone!"
😂🤣😂
Poor little guy! I hate to see them so upset! But Vanessa did a great job accommodating his needs. I see why people drive hours to bring their precious animals to her. She puts the animal's well-being before the owners desires. ❤
My dog keeps looking up like I am watching some kind of doggy horror film. 😅 Amazing work on this little guy, despite the resistance!
Mine too!
Mine three! Gave me anxiety listening to the poor old guy.
Mine too!🤣
I am sitting on my deck with my dogs while watching the video. One was turning his head like what the heck is that and the other one is running around the yard looking for the dog barking lol.
where as my cat is happily kneeding my tummy like "we have a great warrior chosen for the next cats v dog war" rofl. I wonder why hew so worrier if he's had bad experiences or bless him just thar aniexty controls his life it be awful for the second.😢
Thank you for being so patient with him. In the end, he looked like a puppy not a 10 or 14-year-old❤
I felt bad for Jazz to be that anxious . Wow he turned out so handsome. You have such patience Vanessa.♥️🐾
Vanessa Scissorhands at the end!
Wow, that was a lot of emotionally charged work. Well done Vanessa. Someone further down on the chat suggested a dementia type disorder. I had never thought of dogs getting dementia, but it answers a lot of questions about their late in life anxiety and poor behaviour.
Yes, dogs get dementia. It's the worst. It also doesn't help when they can't see that well after their eyes get foggy.
Poor pup. Even sedated, he still has so much anxiety. I think your singing is stress reducer that works for you too. He looks so good despite all his squirming.
This isn’t stress signs. He’s showing genuine signs of a dog who’s never had behavioral training who doesn’t like the feeling of sedation.
He did calm down when she sang to him. Maybe that would be a good idea to sing to him the whole time he is being groomed...put on some tunes and sing!!
I have another thought. As a disabled senior citizen, I can attest to the fact that pain causes a lot of stress. I don't know when I get up if I'm going to hurt and how much. I also don't know where I'm going to hurt. When I'm in an unfamiliar situation or setting, I have to reevaluate how I'm going to cope. I'm also wondering if the dog is deaf. Oftentimes deaf people and animals don't hear themselves vocalizing.
maybe he has arthritis in his front legs?
I thought the same. I am deaf and even with my hearing aids I'm not always aware of how loudly I speak. And of course pain. unfortunately, as we age. Our pets too.
That would make sense, but he definitely was paying attention to Vanessa singing
Watching this on bath day for my wheatie and am suddenly feeling lucky that I only have to deal with wiggles and ewok noises!
Felt bad for Jazz. He has issues. Then again, so do humans. Thanks for being so patient with him Vanessa. 👍👍
Agree with other commenters, he seems to act like he's "lost", which indicates more of a neurological issue than a behavioral one. ❤thanks for groomers like Vanessa!
This isn’t neurological at all. It’s anxiety. Caused by many things including poor training and lazy humans.
@@Emzzz78 She said earlier in the video he was not like this when he was younger, so definitely could be an age related neurological issue.
@@Emzzz78 guessing you've never been involved with an older dog ( or a human) with cognitive decline issues. In most cases, I would agree that "anxiety" in dogs is primarily because of genetics, poor handling and poor training. With that said, ALL "anxiety" is based in neurology.
@@Emzzz78no if it was that he would’ve been that way when he was younger but as she said the owners said he wasn’t like this when he was younger he’s getting older and might be developing a Neurological condition that’s making him be majorly stressed
@@Emzzz78 Many behavioral problems, especially one that are difficult or impossible to treat, are rooted in medical issues. Some dogs no matter how much training you do don't get better because of issues like dog dementia, arthritis, etc. These are cases where training may help, but medication (if appropriate) and mitigating the behavior are going to be how it's mostly treated.
This isn't uncommon as animals age and can be very difficult for owners. Some things like early arthritis, UTIs and dental problems can be handled if not fixed and so the behavior goes away. But some are really difficult to treat even with the best care. Behavior isn't just a reflection of the owner, because dogs are living beings it's a complex interplay of many factors.
Thanks for bringing up that dogs can get more difficult to groom as they age. Chuckled when you dried him "long distance" and on the floor. You made it past "groom the dog at all", to "getting him to look fairly decent", to "put a little polish on" as in neat ears, face. Impressed. It could be that hearing protection for the groomer reduces the groomers broadcast pain and anxiety and the dog, not feeling any reaction, may be calmer. He was behaving better at the end. (Singing worked.) The end was a miracle level.
We call that the “sonic” bark in our house. It’s a bark that rattles your soul! 😂
My son named our puppy ( now 2 yrs old) Sonic when he adopted him. From the movie not the burger lol.
rattles the soul. sounds about right.
My Pyrenees has a bark and a sneeze that shake the house!
My Shih Tzu has that bark. Startles me every time.
Poor baby, so stressed, must be hard to live like that. Love your patience and understanding
Sorry this was a stressful groom. He’s a really, really cute dog and I love his scruffy terrier face.
I often forget your in Canada. I was shocked hearing you say you are taking a dog out to dry in 30 degrees. I thought oh god he will freeze to death lol. 😂😂😂😂😂
I learned to double the degrees, subtract 10% then add 32 to get to Farenheit. So 60-6=54+32=86° F.
@@kathleenspellman5658- A friend of mine does this … she doubles the given number (in this case, 30C) = 60F and then adds approximately 26 which = 86F.
Her method isn’t always completely accurate but it’s close enough for me.
@@kathleenspellman5658 Doubling then subtracting 10% is a nifty way to multiply by 9/5
And he's sedated?! Wow.
Could have started to wear off-he started off okay…
@@aliceanneacts6164I also think the paw pads are big triggers for him enough the owners warned her about it, felt like after that he was super overstimulated on top of things starting to slowly wear off. No fault of the groomer of course, she just finally reached his big trigger area 😭
That what they said
I love seeing how she listens to the dogs and adapts to their needs. 10 out of 10!
This poor boy practically needs a service dog. That anxiety is severe!!
Unfortunately his owners created this. Thats not genuine anxiety….. that’s a spoiled dog
@@xobelladonna2443that is ahuuuge leap. There are dogs like this eve with perfect training. This breed being known for this.
@@xobelladonna2443 They said these issues began when he got older. This is most likely an age mental thing rather than a lack of training issue
Poor little guy. What a sweet boy. Thank you for taking such good care of him Vanessa.
I think he is calmer in the shower because you are there right beside him, feels more secure to him. ❤❤❤
🇬🇧🐶🐶🐶🐶Oh Vanessa you are so fluffing good at your job! That poor doggy was so,so anxious despite being sedated and you managed him with such care, love, patience and attention, great job he looked fabulous after his groom, bless his little heart!🥰💓
There is nothing like a terrier bark, nothing in the world. When they are upset, they like the WORLD to know.
Lol you've never heard a wolfhound!
@sheilahperry-rosales8748 Some people consider the wolfhound as close cousins to the terriers.
Yup my cousins have a terrier mix and he sounds just like this pup 💀
This guys cries broke my heart. You are so good at what you do......calm.
Another fantastic result under less than ideal conditions for Vanessa. I bet his owners were thrilled to see him looking so fresh!❤
this dog's in amazing shape, and not just "for an old dog" he's spry period
He is so cute; just sad he is anxious and loud. He is a good dog. You were great with him. He was blessed to have you to groom him.
You were so patient and understanding with thus boy. You are simply wonderful.
I am so glad there are grooms such as yourself. You show that even, the most nervous or difficult dog can be groomed. And it's even better when owners are chill about the results. Because we have a dog who can be difficult. And we have a groomer who has a heart of gold like you.
I'm so glad you're able to take the time with animals like this. They still need somewhere to go, and they need someone who had the time to give them individually. You're a godsend to these people.
poor guy is worrying himself into a panic more severe than anything Vanessa is doing to him. I can only imagine how bad it would have been without sedation.
You're such a blessing to these high anxiety dogs...and their owners too!
SO happy to see a Wheaton! Very loyal dogs, great mousers, no shedding, very little dander, and energy to burn! My boy Phinnegan wasn't whiney, but he was the only male in a litter of two, so we had our own set of "issues" (i.e. very willful). He was 15 and a 1/2 when he went to the Bridge. I miss him every day.
❤ Very strongly agree! Had the pleasure of knowing several SCWTs and all were intelligent, loyal, wonderful companions to their masters
This pup is gorgeous, imo. Love his build and coloring. Is his size typical for a Wheaton. I thought they were shorter.
There's a UK YT channel dedicated to actual working Terriers on English farms. They go to these farms and rid that farm of vermin. I think one of owner's best Terriers is a female Wheaton but I'm not 100% certain. I believe this video showed up in my recommendations after watching one Vanessa's videos.
@@Sargy18MPBDEIf it looked like a wheaten but shorter, it could have been a Glen of Imaal terrier, which comes in a wheaten colored coat.
What an outstanding transformation! Patience, kindness, skill and determination got the job done!!!!
I love when you had the dryer on him. He was split between wanting to be away from the dryer but also needed to be next to you!
You being able to take your time with him, have no other dogs barking in the room, and more than one option in grooming tactics is an absolute blessing for these "impossible" pets. Thank you for everything you've done!
I enjoy watching you groom the animals. You are so patient with them. I can’t believe that dog was sedated. Wow! Anyway, I appreciate what you do for the animals. ❤❤❤
We had a beautiful sweet wheaten terrier for 15 years and I completely understand this video… Makes my eyes tear and my heart swell
He turned out to be so beautiful! At end (he just knew it was the end), he was posing like a show dog! Great job!❤❤❤
He enjoyed your singing! Music calms the savage beast... and the anxious dog too... He looked adorable at the end.
Poor guy. He looked so happy in the garden though.
It’s such a shame when they are so anxious. You did a great job with him and he’s a lovely boy.
People with Alzheimer's can get really bad separation anxiety and some have to get meds before bathing.
Lord, that's sad isn't it. But understandable about bathing - the tub is such an unstable slippery environment.
Used to work in a nursing home with dementia patients. Shower time was very stressful for most, I always assumed it was because they were afraid of falling on the slick floor. We had a special made shower chair that just looked like a rickety disaster waiting to happen. The worst ones for me were the medicated ones because they were heavier and off balance. Almost like the meds gave them vertigo. Not a well run place at all, was very happy to leave. I understand the new management is doing a better job now.
Wow! Thank you for your service. Hope if I end up like them, I get a nurse like you - and better management than you got.
@@rtyriahad to make a shower chair? I think they sell those now mass produced at Walmart (online), CVS, and Medline.
So anxious...poor old duffer. Hopefully your magic and the pretty positive experience of this groom will help him do better with his grooms in the future. 💜 My dog got worse with grooms as she aged too. Turned out she had a congenital neurological condition that had developed over time which caused her nerves to be extra sensitive as she got older, poor baby. Wow! Had to add that he looked amazing at the conclusion of the groom, and it honestly looked like he felt really proud of how he looked too, running around the back yard. 🐶
Poor little guy seems to have irrational fears. Possibly from past bad experiences. You are so patient and gentle! Great job!
Or it could be him getting older and developing a nerological condition or something cause that level of anxiety to throw him into such a panic attack in the tub is crazy
Such a good job, Vanessa! The groom turned out great. You can tell he’s taken care of very well, hes just an old anxious boy.
You are very gentle and loving all the animals you care for so lot's of love from Massachusetts ❤
He was an anxious mess to say the least. Poor buddy. I bet he went home and passed out. Well, he looks great and you stayed calm. You have the patience of Jobe.
Poor fur baby😢 anxiety is no fun. He's a little cutie and very loving.😊
He reminds me of Tintin’s dog, Snowy. Also, when you started singing for the 2 times he seemed calmed all of a sudden for a few seconds. I wonder if music helps to calm him enough for grooming.
He looked truly amazing when you were finished, great job!!
Vanessa I am so glad you adapt with your dogs and cats in your care to whats best instead of whats the quickest for you. You understand animals behavior so well. ❤
Really bad anxiety even sedated. I have to say you have such patience and kindness. That was a real challenge. You didn’t let his anxiety get to you. ❤
I love that about this groomer. I wish more people would understand that their emotional state becomes the dog's as well. Being nervous and fearful goes right down the leash to the dog.
Strangely, my Scottish terrier in his first year was terrible when groomed and sedation just made him worse-- lowered all his inhibitions! He is just fine now, though he flinches when his groomer works on his face. No DRUGS. What a difference it made. My groomer is wonderful, just like GWTD. We LOVE you.
My wonderful Wheaton is 11 years old and is also a total drama queen. That said, although she may not like going to the groomer, I’m lucky that she isn’t a problem for her. My long time groomer is excellent with my dog, but also doesn’t put up with her nonsense, so it seems to go well. As well, since I know many dogs don’t particularly like their front paws touched, i started massaging her paws regularly when she was a puppy and turned it into a loving thing. It’s worked, she has no issues with her paws being touched now.
Awe it’s so terrible that he feels so stressed 😢
You are incredibly kind to him
Great job! I love the way you accommodate each dog's needs. He looks amazing.
Having the right kit makes all the difference.
Yes, I often wonder why the dog's humans don't purchase the same kit to do this at home.
@@roundtwo3321and now google the cost of professional groomers dryer
Vanessa, I'm always so impressed by your compassion and care for each animal you're grooming. You take their health and temperament into consideration constantly. It is good to have someone who is calm and an animal lover and also an accomplished groomer taking care of a much loved part of your family.
I can't imagine what that dog does when the owners leave him home alone... I'd hate to be their neighbor.
I'm way too sensitive and empathetic to be a dog groomer. My heart is so heavy seeing this little soul in so much stress and anxiety 💔 Thanks Vanessa for helping him.
I had a westie who screamed bloody murder at claw clipping time. She never bit, but would try and dislocate her own leg, rather than have her claws trimmed. She was such a good girl, other than that. I miss her, she was nutty! He reminds me of her
I wonder what would happen if you played music with singing while you groomed him He really quieted down when you sing! Seems to love your singing :) You are so kind to every type of animal you groom! How wonderful!
If there's ever a dog that needs anti-anxiety medication that guy is it. My dog needed it so I know it can work wonders in some cases
@@joyful_tanya Sedation and anti anxiety medication are different things. Most anti-anxiety medication that I know of takes time to start working. It took nearly 5 weeks before I saw results in my dog. Sedation tends to work immediately
@@TheQuickSilver101 that sounds more like an antidepressant. Short acting anti anxiety meds, benzodiazapines, are used for sedation in humans. I'm not a vet, but a human medical professional. But the same exact meds are used in veterinary care.
Buspar is an antidepressant which is used, Elavil is a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat anxiety, both which take up to 6 weeks to work. But Xanax, and Valium are also used to treat anxiety and are also used in sedation because they are short acting.
@@joyful_tanya Essentially, sedation works by interacting with a dog's nerve channels in a way that causes the brain to slow down a bit, resulting in (typically) drowsiness and relaxation for a brief amount of time. Anxiety medicine, on the other hand, (typically) works by increasing neurotransmitters in a dogs brain resulting them being in a calmer state of mind over time.
Definitely two different types of medication with two different effects.
100% I can't imagine how his owners manage at home when he loses his mind over just Vanessa turning and stepping a few feet away. Either they always have one person stay home or their neighbors hate them. And I'm sure that level of anxiety isn't fun for him either. He seems like a really sweet dog, too.
@@joyful_tanya smh
Ooh he sounds so sad moaning . Bless him , it is obviously a very stressful situation for him being groomed . Poor soul . As always you do a marvellous kindness Vanessa
I don’t think you realise how much of a God send you are Miss Girl with the dogs ❤
He left looking absolutely stunning!! Another great video 🐾🐾🦮🌹
He acts like his nails were trimmed painfully on another grooming. Poor old guy. As usual, Vanessa did a splendid job.
You are so good with these dogs. I hate that some of them are so stressed, but you have such patience with them.
Poor baby. Vanessa you are an angel! And i love your sense of humour. You are extremely smart
My 14 yr old Jack Russell terrier hates his nails done, especially back right and he wiggles like a fish out of water while I hold him and the groomer clips them. It's well worth $5 a month to six weeks to get them clipped.
thankyou for being so patient with him, like you said he was easy to groom just very noisy
He definitely was more comfortable at the end than at the beginning. And he looked very handsome afterwards!
Jazz is a beautiful dog! You're so patient and understanding with him. ❤
He was such a tough boy to work on. Congrats on getting him to look at good as he could
Despite being so whiny and loud i was suprised he wasnt aggressive i expected a lot of biting and teeth but Vanessa went through the whole process with not much issues
his noises sounded so sad 😢
I love the compassion you have for these babies. This guy is so riddled with anxiety, I can't help but feel bad for how awful it must be for him to feel that way all the time.
I've seen anxious pets before, but never with separation anxiety. That's so sad. You're wonderful with him.
It's kinda sad, my mom has a dog that I grew up with, so he's a bit old now, but he's still very jumpy and hops a lot. He has always been an anxious dog, especially when he's alone. However, his anxiety got worse after our other dog passed away last year. He now cries like he's being murdered if you're not in the same room as him. He paces a lot, as in, he walks into every single room to check on it and does this several times a day. Especially when there are multiple people spread out throughout the house. Like, if I was in my bedroom, he would walk in, sit in for a few seconds, then get up and go check on my mom. He's horrible at being left alone in the backyard, like he'll dig himself a hole underneath the fence to try to escape because he's looking for us. He constantly asks for attention and if you stop petting him or talking to him, he starts pawing at you to get your attention or whining at you. It almost seems like my mom is his emotional support human rather than him being her emotional support animal.
@@carolinacoreas7716 That breaks my heart. Can he travel to a dog park and play with other animals? It must be hard on family members to be there for him all the time. Is there a student or vet intern who can walk him? Come over and play with him? I used to do that in elementary school. Have you talked to the vet about mild sedatives?
Good luck with your precious boy. xoxoxo
@@susanlewis1875 he's close to 13 years old, and he's a small dog, so I don't think sedatives would be safe for him to use, especially because I doubt sedatives will calm him down enough without making him paranoid. Another thing is that he lives with my mom and my mom lives on her own, so I get to see him every now and then to help with grooming him and trimming his claws. He can't stand not having my mom around because she's her person, so although there can be several people in the house, he still gets super anxious if he doesn't see my mom around. He also doesn't get along with any other dogs, especially if they're bigger than him and he's intact. My parents are/were hispanic and old, so they don't really believe in neutering him (which in my opinion is dumb, but at his age now, he wouldn't be able to get surgery anyways). There have been several times where he would instigate fights with bigger dogs to the point that this one time he somehow escaped the garage and picked a fight with two huge shepherd siblings who were also not socialized properly, so they almost tore him apart by using him as a tug toy. I cried heavily because I thought he was done for since my mom found him before getting torn apart, but he ran off in fear and was missing for a day in the neighborhood, he eventually came back and was injured and bleeding. We cleaned his wounds and put bandages until he was okay 2 days later. Despite the trauma, he still picks fights with other dogs even if the other dogs don't care about him. My sister and I took him to a dog park once and he was so scared he stayed on the table of the picnic bench at the park and didn't want to come down. We used treats and we gave him lots of praise and he still refused to try to socialize. He doesn't really pay attention to my sister's female dogs because they're fixed, so he doesn't really care to give them any attention. And finally, he has never been a dog who is motivated to play with any toys, we tried a variety of things throughout his life since he was a puppy, but he doesn't care. He doesn't even like to chase us around in the backyard because he runs away back to the front door. He really is just a dog running on high anxiety cat software.
@@carolinacoreas7716 Oh, my. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, but I used to give my cats CBD for fireworks displays. I just moistened one fingertip and rubbed it inside one of their cheeks. Sounds like you have a full-time job. I'm so sorry. xoxo
Yes, this old man has a geriatric disorder. I’ve had a few older dogs and cats who have suffered like this. I’m also caring for my mother in law who has become like this. You did the best for him Vanessa. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Years ago I worked for a few veterinarians and one would bring in a pet psychologist for consults. I remember she told us that in most cases she find that the problems originated from the owners who would unknowingly reinforce the adverse behaviors they were complaining about. I believed her as I have seen nice dogs come back into the clinic exhibiting problems they never had before. It was very sad. Vanessa you have great patience and insight for your furry patients.
Just keep in mind that sometimes it's not that simple, and there might be an underlying issue that could be missed.
The compassion you give a simply remarkable. And the simple detail to have them look their best..pretty feet, short nails, equal face….i love watching you work.
I can’t imagine him not sedated and his stress level. WOW!
But he’s so adorable, he looks so handsome. ❤️
With my hyper nervous dog, she was the same on sedatives as without them. It was pointless really🤷♀️ a bit like when you are drunk, then something scary happens and you feel sober straight away
That was really touching.
Interesting to note that he's calmer when you tend to his face...
the queen has posted once again
I love your patience.Thanx 💙🌻💙
I wonder if he is partially deaf? So he is not hearing the volume of his barking.
lol...dogs bark how they bark. They don't think "hey I better bark quieter as I'm being too loud." Hilarious...smh.
@@SagebrushRambles sure, but a lot of deaf dogs bark a lot louder than most other dogs.
In my experience (9 years a dog groomer) some breeds generally bark louder and have more piercing of a bark. Wheatons are absolutely one of those breeds. They are loud but they have a specific pitch to it that causes the ear piercing bark.
Great job ❤ Good advice for the owner & groomers ❤❤❤
You are great with animals. Keep up with the good job.
Yes to hearing protection! It amazes me how many groomers don't use it, I also wear a mask for the whole groom to protect my lungs!
