We have six 'Guardian Dogs' of this/other Breed/Lineages, and they're absolute horrors to any intruding coyote/raccoon/possum! Amazingly, as fierce as they can be/are to threats, watching them play/lounge around the young animals and human children really shows their big hearts and gentle nature (When they're allowed to indulge in it!). :-)

I was at a horse ranch in North Texas a couple of years ago when the resident Anatolian was leaning against me while I was scratching his shoulders and petting him. I said, “You know these dogs can be on the aggressive side.” The ranch manager says, “Yeah, he bit a guy last week but if he likes you you’re good.” I said, “I’m glad he likes me!” (I hoped!😳)

That dog Samson seems to be a 2 person grooming job, rather than just Vanessa on her lonesome, she did a great job with dealing with such a beautiful massive dog, props to her for doing such a challenging job in dealing with Samson's groom.

He was hilarious when he kept following you around in circles as you tried to get to his other side.

He really did try to be a cooperative puppy. It's possible his age and pain, combined with his pedigree, are factors that would make it very challenging to do his feet and nails. I'm an older person and have been living with pain for a very ong time and I, too get a little spicy when I hurt.

It was a lot of work but I would do it all over again if I could have her back, well and happy.

He looks so dignified with his happy hoodie. I owned a large Rottweiler, the love of my life. He was super strong. He would chew thru his leashes in seconds. A big grouler (complainer) but otherwise a gentle giant which was professionally trained along with myself. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2009. Huge heartbreak.

We had a large dog that was half Rottweiler and half Doberman. She was very intimidating to look at and was very happy to let you know she was there. She was also a total whimp! The only time she ever growled at us was when she stole a bag of corn bread and muffins off the counter and hubby tried to take it from her. She ate everything including the bag! She also knew she was to stay off the bed but she would try to sneak into the bedroom and get on it anyway. She would flatten herself the best she could but that's kind of hard when she weighed 100 pounds. I miss her so much even though she has been gone over 25 years.

I thought the visit went extremely well. He wasn't happy, but he didn't thrash and overreact. For a first groom with Vanessa, it was very positive. Nice job.

He’s so conflicted right now. He knows he COULD stop this unpleasant situation but his default is to not bite humans.

Samson you are gorgeous! My Lab has arthritis in his back legs and grooming him has become a sport! When he is comfortable standing, I work on his butt and back legs. When his legs get tired, we move to the front. It’s our little dance we do to get his grooming done. Samson you were a good boy and look like a big cuddle bug! ❤❤❤❤

The back end looked pretty good after all (to me, from here). You did so well (as always) with him and he seemed confident after it. You're right about letting the vet handle the nails under sedation. Keeps everyone safe and happy all around.

What a sweet boy, the way he puts his paws on you when he wants something. Adorable beast!

So, the different types of muzzle s and their purposes are: bite proof muzzle, an enforced leather muzzle that actually prevents a dog from biting, agitation muzzle, the metal grate type muzzle that's purely for convincing the dog it can't bite, and the mesh muzzle for smaller dogs with shorter snouts. Anyone here who knows more about dog training and muzzle s can expand an correct me

@HailKosm

Ай бұрын

to my understanding the agitation muzzle is to tell the dog when they can bite and when they don't need to. Used mostly in police and military K9 training, because they want to train the dog to be aggressive but to be under control when aggressive. You wouldn't use an agitation muzzle on a pet dog unless you are also training them to be a guard dog or some other role in which aggression is favored.

My favorite so far. I have a rescue mix Grt Pyr, GSD, St Bernard that everyone (vets, kennels) thinks is an Anatolian shepherd. And she loves grooming as much as Samson here. In fact, at this moment she is sedated ahead of an in-home vet visit for another attempt to get blood samples and vaccines. We are maybe an hour away from you, and I wish so much that I could bring her to you for at least some advice on how to care for her coat. I think it is more GSD than the other two breeds, but still want to do right by her. I'm used to lab mixes. This one is a whole new world! So much what I see in Samson, too.

Dignified old gentleman. ❤❤❤

You have such an amazing way with the animals in your care. It goes beyond experience (Which can never be UNDER-appreciated/respected!), and knowledge of the various Breeds/Species you're handling. YOU just have an amazing intellect/empathy with them, and even when 'They' are stressed-out, I've no doubt you and your mental/spiritual ('Zen' if you will?) reassures them, at least to some degree. For the scared ones? Every time I watch one of your videos, and with this handsome ball of fluff, his 'Trigger' being nails, leads me to believe someone in the past clipped him far too short, causing him pain (It HURTS! Just do it to yourself someday and see). So now he's reacting to his feets/nails being handled. Makes sense. Our one Miniature, a Rescue, was also terrified of being bathed. I had zero doubt it was because his 'Owner's' Son abused him during it (He outright had problems with ANY 'Man' handling him), so his first bath (Tied to a backyard tree in grass), saw him trembling in fear, eye rolling white, and ready to 'Fight-to-the-Death' as me and my partner began. We were extremely patient, rewarding, but firm. It was going to be done, and he WAS going to survive it (And so were we!). Using warm water (Not well-water-cold), calm, rewarding scritches, treats when it was over, and positive reinforcement, within months he was looking FORWARD to his 'Bath time,' extra good attention, etc.. The walks into town, and picnics at the park(s) was always such fun, too! So much in how they're handled/trained by their Human(s) matters. It isn't the 'Breed' (aka 'Violent Breed(s)' theory), it's their Humans! TLDR reply, I know you're a very busy person, but, I hope others who watch you, what you do and why/how you do things, will help THEM in handling/treating their critters, so everyone involved has a good time and that layer of stress/fear is removed, or never has a chance to start! Thank you, ever-so-much! :-D
