After they were led to the consulting room, I told the vet that I would pay her bill, - regardless of cost. God has blessed me.

Falkor was so good for the entire groom. Truly one of the better behaved I’ve seen on your table. I think he was probably groomed regularly from the time he was a puppy, until his owner fell on hard times and then his coat got out of hand.

When you look at the condition of his body, and how calm and tolerant he is, I'm guessing his coat is the ONLY neglected thing about that good boy! What upsets me is the thought that the prior groomer surely knew this man was going through financial hardship and suggested a highly expensive and potentially dangerous (anaesthesia) veterinary procedure for a job that took Vanessa 32 minutes with a shaver and a clip lead!

I concur completely - especially after considering how dangerous it is to anesthetize a pet. Obviously, anesthesia must be used for major procedures like surgeries and other medical emergencies, but the mortality rate of pets that receive anesthesia - even just anesthesia to hold them still for grooming - is disturbingly high. I didn't know this until recently, but I couldn't agree more that anesthetizing a pet is far too risky to even _consider_ for a simple grooming routine like this one was!

Vanessa’s superpowers are complete empathy with the dogs, and a complete absence of fear of dogs. Animals can tell if you’re nervous or calm, and they act accordingly. It’s rational on their part: If people are tense and worried, they figure there’s danger around. If people are relaxed and quiet, animals know there’s nothing to fear.

It’s also worth noting that behavior can change with the environment. A lot of grooming salons are loud and chaotic, but a quiet environment like yours might make a difference. I’m an in home groomer and a lot of dogs are SO much calmer when there aren’t a bunch of loud dogs around.

On my dog's first shave, she went from a black fuzz ball to an elegant silver miniature poodle. If I hadn't been standing there talking to the groomer (mobile grooming session in my house), I honestly would think dog was swapped out. First time I learned about coat colour changes in certain breeds.

He sat perfectly! You can tell he knew you were helping him :,) I loved this puppy omg

Honestly the first shave didn't do handsome falcor justice -loooked like a rugged uncle. He is so pretty and patient! Hope the owner is doing well too

You are so good. Thank you. When my dog & cat were alive, I’d have welcomed you grooming them! Both were stray rescues, both were my best friends in the world, both were emotional support animals & each one was with me for 15 years. My dog was a 64 lb pit bull & my cat was a domestic short hair. We managed & I fought for their lives with everything I had but couldn’t save them. They were my best friends. I have no more best friends. It’s hard not having a best friend but if there’s not enough money to give them the absolute best care, it’s not right. My babies were literally left in my yard, one was born there while I worked hard to save cats dumped irresponsibly in my yard. I did my best for 30 years, 15 yrs for each. My 71st birthday was 10/11/ I love watching your videos & seeing how aware & intelligently you treat animals. And your commentary is great fun. 😊 Blessings!

He is a wonder dog. He understands that you are giving him all your love and attention because he needs you to make him feel better. A million happy vibes to you. You are unique.

Honestly, he behaves like a dog that's been groomed A LOT in his life. It's almost like he's saying FINALLY! A GROOM! I will do whatever you want, I remember this business, it's old hat, just GROOM ME! And then he just enjoyed every second. Like that noise he made, was like AAAAAAHHHHHHH IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!

He was such a good boy! I had a soft coat Wheaton, and it was almost a hundred dollars ($100.00 ) to groom him, every month. Because I am disabled and we had only one income, I was gutted. That is and was a tremendous amount for me, so I had to learn, out of pure necessity how to groom him myself. And I used YOUR videos as a tutorial. We had him for 14 years and he was my BFF as well as my stability dog, UNTRAINED, so no vests or anything. I took him with me when I could but not where dogs were not allowed, he just knew when I was going to fall and made sure he was there so I wouldn't fall or if it was bad, not fall so hard and he got me to the ground safely. I miss him so much!

Holy cow that transformation was crazy. What a good boy ❤ great job!

I am SO thankful for your attitude towards some of your clients and the awareness that we don't always know what they're going through. As you said, they managed to get their dog groomed in the end, despite some road blocks. He was a really good boy, who gave you hardly any resistance. But when he was fussy about havin his feet done he made me think of a page that used to pop up in my suggestions of a farrier in China who took care of donkeys who were, often times, very neglected. When you have a dog who doesn't want you to touch his feet that's one thing. But this man held on to the donkey's foot no matter how much it tried to kick him off. I can't even imagine what kind of strength it takes to do that! And quite often he would stand with his back to the donkey's head, and the leg berween HIS legs. So if he wasn't able to hold on tightly enough, the consequences could have been - ah - breathtaking! So when the next dog doesn't want you to hold onto his/her foot, remember that a certain Chinese farrier holds on at the risk of never again having any children! Great work Vanessa! I always look forward to discovering more of your grooms.

Holy moly. That was a lot of work you did for free! And he's gotta be one of the best behaved doodles I've ever seen, he just let you shave around his face like it was no big deal! Good job, Falcor. No doubt he feels amazing after that.

Can you even imagine how uncomfortable it would be for him , if he actually did have fleas under that matter coat? Would have been so painful. I’m so glad he was free of fleas. He is such a good boy And I love what you said at the end of the groom. That no judgment is being placed on the owner, and that in the end…they found a way to get their dog taken care of. Exactly! I love hearing that from a groomer. I bet some ppl don’t do it at all, in fear of being judged. Then it gets worse and worse. Great job on sweet Falcore. (Who has the best name ever)

I absolutely LOVE Vanessa for not only not judging the animals' people, but also making sure to let her audience know that they shouldn't either. And for treating even the most troublesome pets with kindness. She's amazing. And also fun and funny when possible.

He was so well behaved and it really did sound like a sigh of relief when he was bathed. Its good to know there are good people like yourself helping others through hard times

Although the owner fell on hard times, can we appreciate that Falcor looked well fed and flea free. This shows the owner did all he could under his circumstances. Thank you Vanessa. 😊

Instead i bought myself a professional grooming kit and did him myself. He wouldnt win any beauty pagents but it got the job done and he was so good to groom. It also made a big difference when he went blind and he felt safe knowing it was me grooming him. God i miss him so much. 😢

we can all certainly fall on hard times, but we should never let that affect a living creature in our care. I would've hand scissored this dog and had him look ridiculous with a home haircut before allowing him to get as bad as this. financial hardship is no excuse to let an animal suffer. the teeth of this dog also didn't look great. I'm glad Falkor is shaved down and I also hope his owner is doing better. at least with a full shave it'll be a few weeks until the next appointment is needed. Falkor's temperament is a testament he must have a patient and loving owner, and I hope said owner can reciprocate that love by continuing care for Falkor.

Golden retrievers are generally so very well behaved and poodles are well behaved as well. A golden and a poodle is of course different than a Labrador and poodle, but even with this mix, labs just aren’t aggressive either. Poodles, Goldens, and labs are not aggressive or difficult dogs. Why would you find them difficult? I'm just curious. My mom was a groomer, and she loved these dogs because they were so sweet, but of course they are a lot of work. Another popular mix is the aussie labradoodle, which for anyone who doesn't know, is a labrador, poodle and cocker spaniel. The cocker spaniel was added to make the dog smaller. A cocker in the mix does make for a higher possibility of potential aggression. Cocker spaniels have a higher bite rate than people may expect. My mom preferred the Golden doodles and labradoodles to the aussie Labradoodles even though the aussie is smaller, because they can be feisty even when they've been groomed regularly. Many Cockers have no Issues showing you their teeth when they don't like something. And they're not bluffing. They will snap or outright bite. The other issue with the cocker is they are no warning biters. They will suddenly bite hard with no warning whatsoever which is of course dangerous for a groomer. Cockers are notorious for this trait. I've never liked cocker spaniels for this reason.
