So I live in a house with a dog that suffers a very similar situation. It is mostly the breed but yes the way it was raised determines how severe that behavior is. Humanity kind of bred a neurological disorder in that particular type of dog. They're considered a ratting dog. Basically terriers and schnauzers are merciless at hunting down rodents. They're two types of every breed of dog working line and show line if you ever buy from a breeder always make sure you know the difference but you are not that fortunate to be able to pick when you get a mixed dog

Groomer here. he actually may not be traumatized. Some dogs have MASSIVE reactions to grooming if they were never trained or exposed to groomers as puppies. Small dogs, especially, tend to be more tempermental. On average, while I was still working, smaller dogs tended to have more issues. People assume that because they're small, they either dont need to be groomed at a young age, dont think about it, or just think they will be easy to groom as adults. A lot of owners do not know how to properly train their dogs either. It could very well be that this dog was traumatized, but in my experience- usually the aggression is due to no exposure as a puppy with an extreme reaction. Often times when dogs reach adulthood and are like this, it can be very difficult to retrain them.

He is absolutely adorable! It is heartbreaking to think about what happened to him to make him this afraid and reactive. I will never understand how anyone could abuse an animal so horrifically that they end up this traumatized. I’m so happy for him that he ended up with a wonderful owner who clearly has a very special and close bond with him. It will always amaze me how an animal who has gone through so much at the hands of evil humans, still has the capacity to love and trust another human being again. I’ve experienced it myself with one of my rescues who was terrified of everything that exists in the entire world, inside and outside, due to her traumatic and abusive past, but she still chose to trust me, and it was one of the greatest honors and blessings in my entire life. We had ten incredible years together, where she ultimately overcame nearly all of her fears with love and patience (aside from storms and fireworks, which are normal fears for most dogs). I will forever miss her and our special bond.

She will get there. One of my rescue shih tzus was like this when I took him in and I received a good few bites when grooming him at first, one of which was a bad one. Practice and repetition paid dividends though and now grooming him is a fairly stress free experience for both of us. I never even tried to find a professional groomer for him, knew he was too dangerous to expect someone else to work on him. I can't do much other than take him down to the wood, no fancy cuts from me, but it works, and that's all that matters :)

Worst part is, that just standing there in the end, he looks like such a sweet boy. You can just imagine how sweet he would have been to everybody, if he had been treated better before. Big thank you to the lovely woman caring for him

We adopted a dog when our children were small. After we got herchome, my husband went into the backyard with a hat on. She barked and was clearly terrified of him. No hat, less fear. He tried to play fetch by throwing a stick. She flinched, ran away from him, then shredded the stick and hid it. So we figured she'd been abused by a man who wore hats and hit her with a stick. I took over all discipline with her, so all she saw from my husband was completely positive....fun, treats, love. In two years she was no longer afraid of him, and rarely flinched any more. Best dog we ever had. Protected my kids and I like her life depended on it. Just took a lot of love to overcome her fear.

There is a boatload of trauma in that little guys past. Your calm demeanor will help, but your steadfast loving approach is always awesome. Anyone who rescues animals in need of love is a hero in my book. Huge props to the owner.

I do think with a lot of time and patience and some positive reinforcement training (with extra chicken nuggets) the owner could groom him easily and safely at home.

some other times animals are aggressive toward strangers simply because they have biological tendencies toward territorial aggression, and they either receive little corrective training to disincentivize it, or the positive reinforcement they receive when they engage in the behavior overrides/muddles the corrective training. Their ancestors are highly territorial predators (just like ours), so these things don't really require trauma and abuse to develop. Smaller breeds in particular are prone to this stuff. Maybe its because they are easier to hurt with abuse, or maybe its because they can do the behavior over and over again and not be sent off to the farm unlike a mastiff that acts like this.

@@margaretmcgregor5686 how curious that you saw fear. I see a pissed off dog that wants the lady with the loud scissors to piss off. The dog isn't begging its owner to help it. And it also isn't agressive towards its owner. Its ambivalent. Do you think a scared child would act like this if its mother was in the room? What if it was two goons instead of just the one goon and a friend? Would the child preferentially sceam at the new goon and ignore the familiar goon? No, this dog isn't afraid. Its mad.

Oh you're so patient, fearless and loving. ❤

You did so greatly, and I am happy that he has such a responsible owner now. Good job, Pipin!

Fear based aggression always makes me sad because you know they've been through horrible stuff that they felt nothing protected them but lashing out and being aggressive. I hope his mom can help him heal from what he's been through. His scared whimpers broke my heart, you can hear he's terrified. I feel like the new muzzle had no association and became associated with his mom being there, giving him a sense of safety he didn't have with the other. Seeing his tail wag made me so happy for him. I like that you're trying to teach his mom how to groom him, he feels safer with her, so it'd cause him less stress and fear. Edit: added more and spelling.

Loved his color pattern that was uncovered as you got his back done. Thank you for turning a horrific situation into an opportunity for recovery and change.

He’ll feel so much better once all that hair is gone.

the fact that she took the time out to teach the owner and help her is beyond admirable :)

Poor little guy, thank God for good people like you to help him out.

Your compassion towards this dog and his owner was remarkable. You acknowledged that he was scared and not a bad dog. Thank you for teaching the owner how to groom him! He is so lucky to have been rescued by someone that is willing to go to such lengths for him.

100% agree! I hate when people write off a dog as “bad” when they display negative behavior in an entirely new & stressful environment with someone new doing things which seem potentially dangerous to them from their point of view. Or when a dog reacts negatively to someone doing something threatening or even hurting them. Especially since dogs only have a few ways to show they don’t like something or to try & warn off anyone threatening them. People act as if they expect dogs & all animals to have the same ability to express themselves as humans & to fully understand humans…despite animals not being able to speak or understand our language(beyond a few commands/body language) & most people being completely ignorant of the language of animals.

@@roguewolf7053 absolutely! I couldn’t agree more. I also had a thought while watching. She mentioned that he was sedated for the groom. I almost wonder if his anxiety was so high that the sedation made the aggression worse. As you said, this is an animal. They are limiting in their understanding of what we are doing. If he felt “out of it”/ not in control, it would make some sense that the fear would increase, knowing that he felt less capable of protecting himself. Does that make sense at all?

@@courtneywaltz6153 Absolutely! The sedation absolutely could’ve made him worse since it was obviously not enough to over ride his fight or flight response but very well could’ve been making him feel off, weak & decreasing his ability to comprehend.

So sweet seeing how he trusts his owner so much! Even after all he has obviously been through. It’s apparent that his owner is very loving and has put in the work to help him heal. ❤

@@Stephano217 1. Vanessa banned the dog from returning due to its dangerous behavior (similar to four other groomers). This animal is too far into the red zone to be safely rehabilitated. The vicious dog's owner didn't even know how to groom the animal, what makes you think she knows how to bring that animal back from being a dangerous animal with a hair trigger? 2. That dog will either escape its owner's control and bite somone (leading to the dog being destroyed) or the owner will realize that she has adopted the canine version of Hannibal Lector and surrender the dog to a shelter (where it will be destroyed).

This is so sad and breaks my heart 😢 I was gonna say maybe bring in his owner but I see that you did. I am so glad that you were able to help this mom out and help him out. I think with time with you, he may learn to be comfortable with grooming

She said she won't take it back again. So she's not doing it again with him. So sad.

This is beautiful to watch you be so understanding of his feelings!! despite the adrenaline spikes he undoubtedly causes (which makes most of us humans reactive and resentful….)

You can see that he has learned that if he shakes his head vigorously enough, he can dislodge the muzzle. Such a smart boy! Rescue dogs have a special place in my heart, because you just don't know what sort of hell they've been through. And sometimes the stuff you do know is horrifying. Great job trying to be patient with him!
