Hey, I love your videos and I am watching them all the time in order to learn from you, because you provide so many interesting facts and share info about differences in breeds, but mostly I love your gentle and emphasising approach towards your dog-clients❤ I am asking myself (because of my own rescue dog who is not happy at all with the blow dryer) if it would be smart to distract him with a locking mat attached to the wall…? I never saw anything like that in grooming videos - I assume there must be a good reason for that… is it too risky because the dog would defend his treat and start to bite the groomer? Just curious about that.

Oh he's so handsome dog I remember my boy who died on my house burn .I try to save him but jump on my hands and run back inside the house I cried a lot and takes years to recover my lost dog.

During the drying phase, I really felt that he was calling out a classic “au secours!” (help me), on the principle that begging for mercy hadn’t helped but maybe someone, somewhere, would hear his cries. Poor baby! He did his best. 💕🇨🇦

"Do I want to Go Home? Well, they brought me here, didn't they?" Aspen looks great, no matter how much of a struggle he was.

You are so great with these pups! Thanks for making Aspen more beautiful . Good boy ❤️

Aspen looks exactly like D Artagnan, my fur fellow of 16 years! Same colors and coat pattern, foreleg feathers and butt puffs. Even the pink and black pattern on their muzzle and noses are alike. I'm so happy to see a mirror image of the best friend of my youth ❤ Thanks Aspen!

What a beautiful boy. I love his colour.

What an absolutely beautiful dog! The fact that he's a rescue makes me incredibly sad. Not because he has been rescued but because he needed rescuing to begin with, of course.

I have been watching your videos for so many years! And every time I see you with another dog who has either a special need or is afraid, you just reaffirm my belief in humanity. So lovely to see the way you interact with these beautiful animals, I hope you get all the blessings this life owes you for your good work with the dogs and cats!

Oh he is so handsome! Those blue eyes of his are just stunning! I would take him home in a heartbeat!!!😅

Aspen’s so handsome! When dogs are scared like this, have you ever tried singing to them? I find that helps a lot of dogs! You should try it some time! Just make up a song with favorite dog words! Or sing any happy song. Whatever you sing, just make it upbeat! You should totally try this with some dogs!

Aspen looked suspicious at first. Then, when all his worst suspicions were realized, he was offended! ))

Aspen is just one big, beautiful hunk of a dog.

He's SOOOO BEAUTIFUL! AND HANDSOME! I love his coat and blues eyes. I feel bad for him bec he was so scared and who knows what kind of a life he had before. 😢I hope he has a good and loving owner now! 🙏❤️

He seems to me more of a collie (especially his coat and the temperament), but either way adorable. Such a good boy.

He is gorgeous. Reminds me of a collie mix I had when I was a 12 year old. She lived to be 16. So cool to have the pupper until my late 20s. She didn't have pointy ears, but definitely a lot of similar features. Aspen is beautiful and did well. His transformation is amazing.

What a beautiful dog. Good boy Aspen. I hope he realises that grooming isn't so bad 😊

You can definitely tell he was a rescue. Shelter dogs have gone through trauma. I have a Labradane rescue myself and she is quick to jump when it comes to loud noises. When you're confined to a cell 24/7 with loud, echoing noise, it does something to you. It's definitely triggering for them. I love all animals, but there's just something about a rescue and especially a mutt. When they finally click with you, it's like they know where they came from and what you did for them, and they're forever grateful. My girl is the sweetest snuggle bug and she will always have a furever home with me. ❤ Aspen is such a beautiful boy 💓💓💓 I'm sure over time he'll get so much better with this experience!!
