My day is *OVER* when I step unsuspectingly into a puddle and water seeps into my shoes and wets my socks. That feeling of wet socks against my poor feet and toes is just horrid. I shudder just thinking about it. 😭

My husband an I have about 30 years of experience working with "dangerous" dogs. It turns out that we've actually met very few dangerous dogs. We have met dogs who are showing fear aggression and what typically helps is desensitization training. The more he goes to the groomer and the veterinarians office and has positive experiences the less he will fear these spaces. Thank you for taking him on, most would have probably denied grooming . It's people like you that will help this very handsome fella.

I was scrolling for a comment like this! In my experience, Akita aggression typically comes from defensive and protective behaviour, but this was such clear fear aggression. Poor guy must’ve been through some rough times, good on his new family for giving him a second chance

I love how you balance working within a dog’s limits with teaching them gently that nothing BAD is going to happen here, but stuff has to get done and it’s over when you say so.

Akita's moody buggers, very some,time,ish (as one word) as we say. They like, what/who they like, when they like it. They can be pushed and moulded, but only so far. Akita's usually have a good vocal range and can talk a lot, this chap seems to have a range of 'no' only though :)

Akitas are just like that. They need extensive socialization and even then you have to keep a watchful eye on them. They're a primitive dog breed, them and shiba inu are the most recent dog breeds to offshoot from wolves. Hence, they're more "catlike" than other dog breeds. Wolves don't act like dogs do, they're agile, clean, and independent (of humans).

Folks that have a pet with this type of bad attitude should seek professional help. If unable to afford it the internet is full of tutorials made by dog obedience experts. Yogi has the propensity to attack and bite someone. He could be trained to be a sweetheart. Good luck to Yogi's hoomans. 🐶

Loved the side eye you got when he finished his treat to let you know that did NOT erase your crimes against him! 😂

I love how he holds one paw up in the tub, like "How dare this water touch my precious feet!"

Indeed, a fine & brave woman she must be.

He looks like an angry bear. A good boy but still an angry bear

And I'm proud on your behalf for how you handled such an unpredictable, unknown, powerful dog on his first ever groom! Outstanding!

What a big whiny baby! I’m happy he did so well! He looked very sharp afterwards!❤❤❤

The side eye he gave you when you called him a good boy 😃I think he wanted to hear “great man”!

The paw held up the whole bath because it was the first thing assaulted with water 😂 He did good, poor guy, and you did well too V!

For a first groom, he did remarkably well. He wasn’t happy, but he never full-on lunged. You talking probably actually helped. You were soft and reassuring and respectful. The difference the right approach makes is so satisfying. Given the right situation, 99% of “difficult” dogs can be successfully groomed and treated by professionals or even owners. Even some of the 1% can have a “comfort” groom if needs must. Woof woof! 🐕

These sweet, scared babies always make me cry. So glad Vanessa takes the time to make them feel safe.

"Which means giving him a lot of freedom and getting my steps in." 😂 What a beautiful, big baby boi who likes to show us the paw. ❤

I love him. I thought he was gonna have an old face but I was surprised when you took his muzzle off. He’s beautiful and his side eye 😂

From the thumbnail, I'm thinking you have found Hannibal Lecter's dog. Then he let out that pitiful moan when the blow dryer came on.❤ Now I'm watching and talking baby talk to the screen to comfort the big baby!😂❤

Aww, poor guy. You did a great job and were so patient with him. Thank you for understanding that he was extremely scared, not vicious. He's so handsome, what a beautiful coat!

This video is the reason why I think you were such an incredible person overall. We don’t know why the dog is scared because nobody knows about his history, but you treat him with compassion and take the entire process slowly so that he is not triggered by something anything.

Aw that was his first groom! What a good boy ❤

I have an aunt that adopted a rescue Akita several years ago. He had behavioral problems and my uncle wasn't going to let him stay. My aunt sat the dog down and told him if he didn't improve it was back to the shelter. That dog turned into one of the best animals ever! R.I.P. James

Of course, I sympathize with his distress, but also I enjoyed listening to him communicating with you. 😂 Considering that this was his first ever groom and he has shown some behavioral issues in the past, today was quite an accomplishment!!! Good job, Vanessa and Yogi. ❤

He’s so handsome ❤️ The lifting the paw in the bath sent me 😭 one of my childhood dogs Roxy would do that too even in her old age. Like girl had arthritis in her back legs and thought keeping a front paw in the air was gonna keep her dry 😭

What a good boy! I know you hear this all the time, Vanessa, but the way you work with the dog and understand their instincts always makes me marvel. They trust you so implicitly and it's amazing to watch a skidish dog begin to trust. Granted, the sedatives helps him relax too, but your expertise really does shine through.

He's beautiful. And the captions had me giggling for quite a while. Thanks!

Love how you are so kind to even the difficult and aggressive dogs. Love watching you work. Thanks

That side-eye he gave the camera at the end was hilarious! It was as if he was saying, "Yeah, it was okay I guess. I didn't die."

He did hold upto the Akita reaction to the blowdryer. That seems to freak them out less than other difficult dogs even in this boy. He was not fighting it.

I'm definitely enjoying the captions/commentaries you've been adding to your clips! 😂

What an amazing pup! Vanessa you are so wonderful to these fur babies!

He's beautiful. And he hung in there pretty well during the process.

Who knew water was pure battery acid 😂 such a drama king❤

You’re so amazing and compassionate. You have the ability to gauge the dog’s temperament (minute to minute) and level of fear and accomplish the groom his tolerance. Knowing you could remove muzzle is experience- I held my breath when you did, but trust was established, as he politely took treat!

The fact you were able to bath the four-legged Bane is impressive.

He was a sweetheart for sure for iy being first time!! Way to go yogi!!

Yogi Bear is a name that suits him so well 😭

You were so wonderful with him! So kind and patient getting him used to grooming.😊
