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.
@girlwiththedogs212 with double coated dogs, like Aspen, it will save ur drains to brush with a slicker while u have to dog soapy...it will also stop a lot of the Xtra floofs from flying all over ur shop❤ & it's the best way to accomplish a "shed-less" groom🫶🏼 ur doing a great job & in just offering some sage advice after 30 yrs in the business😊 Roughing in a clip prior to bath is also a great way to save time & money as it reduces the risk of tightening mats & ur not wasting shampoo & water & drying time with hair that won't be kept in the long run...
I wouldn't bet on it. I have a rescue that was just like that in the beginning and very smart. We have done so much grooming training and it went really well until one groomer cut the nail a little too close (not even bleeding) and we are back to banshee. Smart but suspicious...
That's how my dog was. We took her from the shelter straight to a bath (she was filthy) and she tried to fly out of the tub. It was a long day for everybody. Every bath since then she got better, now she tolerates her baths very well! Never happy about it, but I'm sure most dogs arent 😅
I think it's just a personality trait. I had a Dalmatian who hated getting wet so much that he walked around puddles. Every bath was a two person job, and rainy days were so stressful.
Aspen is adorable. Poor boy was scared, but still did very well for his 1st spa session. I hope he continues to be groomed by you. The color of Aspen's coat reminds me of a caramel latte.
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.
He was such a good pup. I did laugh during the blow-dryer because he had moments that he remembered he is part husky and just went from quiet to full drama and back to being a good boy xD
@itstotallyamber A movie star! Exactly my thoughts at the beginning of the video. His eyes and his expression... he looks like... maybe Timothée Chalamet?
@@owunkiaOh, it's my first ever comment mentioning him and also I haven't seen him anywhere lately, not on TH-cam, not on Facebook, not on web news. Um..., well, there's this ad on TH-cam about Dune 2... OK, I'm sorry for mentioning him, I guess😉
That is a pup who needs a loving forever home. Someone to love him and play with him. He needs spoiling. He needs toys & blankets, play times and treats. Bless you for helping him out.
Wow, you may want to get in contact with his owners. Sounds like they are unaware of his history, since as she said, his history is mostly unknown. That would probably help them out a lot. 😊
Oh, Vanessa! Always starting with the lava hose, then the screaming doom hose, the foot snapper, and the toe tickler. The brush is nice, though. Poor scared guy! He's awfully cute.
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.
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!
I had a pup who lived to be 16 as well. He was a black/tan shepherd/hound mix and man was he smart!! Our babies will forever have a place in our hearts 💕
@@ferretyluv doesn't look at all like a Husky to me and in the 1960's collie's heads weren't as triangular as they are now. Breed standards have changed over the years. German Shepherd Dogs didn't have such dropped backends either. Watch an old "Rin Tin Tin" or "Lassie" and you'll see the change.
@@ginnyhaynie529me too. I have a corgi mix and I'm getting a real corgi vibe mixed with the husky and who knows what else. He is such a handsome sweet boy. What a good dog.
Aspen was a very good boy, we will never know the trauma he underwent prior in life and having something unknown thrown at him he held up like a champ! Rescues have invisible (and sometimes visible) trauma I have had many in my life time and you learn clues and deal with each one individually.
Not every "rescue" was abused or went through trauma. Much as some people need them to be, to the disturbing point of shopping for dogs based entirely on which one has fake trauma for them to exploit
@@nickywal Hmm. I didn’t think about that. I feel like I know the type of person to exploit their pets trauma but I can’t think of a rescue that didn’t kinda go thro some kind of at least little trauma.
@@nickywalWell, rescue does mean helping someone/something in trouble. There's a story to tell with them. They either rescued him from the streets as a stray or from a bad environment.
Interesting take, nicky. I know of a rescue dog whose history is mostly just a stray life, but he still has trauma. In fact, he has a neurological disorder from the specific trauma he endured, which means he will guzzle from any source of water available until its either gone or he throws up (and then return to drinking). He is otherwise a normal pup who gets anxious and is overwhelmed easily. Rescue and trauma does not equate to "beaten and neglected".
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!
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. 💕🇨🇦
For fellow thick-coated dog owners: try saving your empty peanut butter jars and let them lick at it while you blow dry. It's been a wonderful tool for me and my Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. The angle she is at while licking the pb jar allows me to get her thick neck fluff and chest, with absolute minimal stress.
He is absolutely gorgeous. An understandably anxious boy considering he's never been groomed and being a rescue dog as well. he was a good boy. You are the best groomer to groom aspen
As scared and nervous as he was, he did seem to eventually realize he wasn't being harmed but I think the more he gets groomed, he has potential to be the greatest dog to groom. Fingers crossed for his future 😊.
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 an intelligent, good natured dog! He was terribly frightened by this strange new experience, but never seemed aggressive. Hopefully his good experience today will help him cope with grooming in the future.
What a sweet dog! He was so frightened, esp. in the bath, yet he didn't bite or do anything aggressive. Who knows what experiences he's had that has made him so afraid? He also looks so soft at the end! I wish I could pet him & give him some love.
What a gorgeous dog! And I bet that, with repeated groomings and a lot of patience, he’s going to go to his appointments like a pro in no time. Good boy, Aspen!
😍 What a GORGEOUS boy! Aspen is going to make some family VERY lucky!❤🐶 Rescue Pets are always a little bit of a mystery. Even tho, I rescued our kitties as kittens, I know Smokey for sure was found abandoned as a tiny kitten, ALONE in a trash can.😢 💔 He's TERRIFIED of loud noises-runs under my bed for HOURS... All we as pet parents can do is love them unconditionally AND be patient.🤗 They're sooo LOVING!
What a beautiful boy... Colour of his coat is fantastic. You have to love the angle of those ears... And all that fluff. He was good even tho stressed. Thank you for sharing Aspen.
Aww poor scared baby! I find your videos so soothing Vanessa! I love how you are so attentive to the emotional needs of these sweet souls! Also I like how you teach us new things about animal health and care. So glad I found you! Love from Eastern Europe!
Such a pretty doggo! Good to see he calmed a bit and allowed the nail trim and the clippers. With time and exposure hopefully he will calm and become compliant. Sweet disposition…
Oh he is lovely..! 🧡 My rescue dog was terrified of water because they used to wash the floors of the cages with a hose every day in the shelter, with the dogs inside. But this was in the Middle East, shelters do not have the same standards as in North America/ Europe. But it took many washes for him to be ok with it. Aspen even looks like my doggie! He is a Canaan/Border Collie mix as far as we can tell.
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! 🙏❤️
Aspen is a beautiful boy and he was well-behaved most of the time. I know he was scared. He looked great when you were done and I know he was very happy he had survived!! Next time, he may not be so afraid. I know his owners will be delighted when they see him!! ❤❤❤❤❤
He is absolutely GORGEOUS! What a stunning sweet boy he was. It breaks my heart when they are so stressed. Reminds me of my dog. I can only handle grooming her every 5mnths because of her stress levels. If she becomes extremely stressed she will start having seizures.
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!
Cute baby. Well if you hadn't told us what was part of his mix, would totally have guessed Husky was involved. Singing the song of his people and all the talking when not amused. Great job

Thank you for being so understanding of Aspen's feelings, especially since he's probably been through so much already.
He is absolutely gorgeous!

You should have offered him treats while you were watering him down in the beginning.
@girlwiththedogs212 with double coated dogs, like Aspen, it will save ur drains to brush with a slicker while u have to dog soapy...it will also stop a lot of the Xtra floofs from flying all over ur shop❤ & it's the best way to accomplish a "shed-less" groom🫶🏼 ur doing a great job & in just offering some sage advice after 30 yrs in the business😊

What a handsome fella. Now that is a dog.
All dogs r dogs......
Sure is a pooch theres no denying
@@GostdemonoidNice answer 👍🏼
Now that is a dog. Then what are other dogs?
@@BigMates13😂
He seems quite smart. I suspect that once he "survives" the groom in the future he'll probably be fine.
I wouldn't bet on it. I have a rescue that was just like that in the beginning and very smart. We have done so much grooming training and it went really well until one groomer cut the nail a little too close (not even bleeding) and we are back to banshee. Smart but suspicious...
It took our boy two at home grooms and one professional one to realize he actually really likes it! Now he is sassy about demanding a daily brush!🤣🤣
Clearly he was near death during this ordeal. Wait until he calls home to the other puppies.
That's how my dog was. We took her from the shelter straight to a bath (she was filthy) and she tried to fly out of the tub. It was a long day for everybody. Every bath since then she got better, now she tolerates her baths very well! Never happy about it, but I'm sure most dogs arent 😅
Huskies are just cats in dog suits. That was the most cat reaction to water I've ever seen.
Having had a husky,I agree! Don't get near me for a bath and don't even think you are going to clip my nails.
I think it's just a personality trait. I had a Dalmatian who hated getting wet so much that he walked around puddles. Every bath was a two person job, and rainy days were so stressful.
I’ve always thought that Huskies were the cats of the dog world!
@@adria89Possibly, but I've never heard of a Dalmatian who didn't dislike water.
You'd think they'd be okay with water considering the breed history @@Narangarath
He was quite well behaved. Never got mad just not sure what was going on. And your kindness was just what he needed ❤❤❤❤
"Calm down." Well, no...I don't think I will.
He was calm with the blow dryer until his husky showed and he became drama.
"I was about to, but now that you asked I wont!"
He did though. Mostly
"How?" 😂
Hahaha 😂
Considering how scared he was, he did quite well, thanks to your careful, gently handling.
What a pretty boy! He looks like a husky and collie mix, but he sings the whining refrain of the German Shepherd. 😂
Collies love to whine and harrumph as well. They’re like husky-lites.
@@ferretyluv Most definitely......and that easy to brush out coat and quick to dry coat is mostly collie-lite....
Truth!
Oh my childhood dog was a Collie. I miss you Boots.
Aspen is adorable. Poor boy was scared, but still did very well for his 1st spa session. I hope he continues to be groomed by you. The color of Aspen's coat reminds me of a caramel latte.
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.
He was such a good pup. I did laugh during the blow-dryer because he had moments that he remembered he is part husky and just went from quiet to full drama and back to being a good boy xD
I noticed that too.😂😂😂
He seemed much calmer as the groom went on. Clearly, your gentle handling of Aspen helped him understand that you are a friend. ❤
This is singlehandedly one of the most aesthetically pleasing dogs I've ever laid eyes on, they look like a god damn movie star!
He's giving me a Husky crossed with Lassie vibes for sure. That coat just looks SO SOFT!
@itstotallyamber A movie star! Exactly my thoughts at the beginning of the video. His eyes and his expression... he looks like... maybe Timothée Chalamet?
@@SkyBlueDesign1ugh can yall not ruin it w ur timothy he doesnt need to be involved in everything lmao
@@owunkiaOh, it's my first ever comment mentioning him and also I haven't seen him anywhere lately, not on TH-cam, not on Facebook, not on web news. Um..., well, there's this ad on TH-cam about Dune 2... OK, I'm sorry for mentioning him, I guess😉
@angela-rx1fc why so triggered on a dog grooming video ? 🤷🏽♀️
A gold husky with blue eyes is something I've never seen before and oh my god its gorgeous
He's more red over gold
He looks pretty similar to a red husky if that's what they're called
I wonder if there is Australia Shepherd in there 😊
✨He is a gorgeous dog ✨
I was about to say he's a handsome guy, but yeah he is a gorgeous gentleman!
To think of that beautiful boy in a shelter is heart breaking
That is a pup who needs a loving forever home. Someone to love him and play with him. He needs spoiling.
He needs toys & blankets, play times and treats. Bless you for helping him out.
He seems to already have a home. I think she meant he was a rescue who was adopted.
“I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty, and bright
And I pity
Any boy who isn't me tonight”
😊
🥰🥰🥰
🎶“I feel charming, oh so charming, it’s alarming how charming I feeeeel…. and so pretty, that I hardly can believe I’m real!” 🎶
Today I learned that song has different lyrics between the play/film versions, neat.
Thank you for being so kind and patient with him. He such a beautiful boy.
He behaved so well for the most part, for his first groom, and he really is a beautiful dog❤
I Know Aspen’s history…. He’s always been a good boi
Wow, you may want to get in contact with his owners. Sounds like they are unaware of his history, since as she said, his history is mostly unknown. That would probably help them out a lot. 😊
@@nrgltwrkr2225 Is that the reason for the reaction with noise? We had a rescue, and, have no idea what happened to him before we got him.
Looks very intelligent and sensitive...
What's his history? Could you share please??
What is the non-husky part of his ancestry?
Oh, Vanessa! Always starting with the lava hose, then the screaming doom hose, the foot snapper, and the toe tickler. The brush is nice, though.
Poor scared guy! He's awfully cute.
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.
"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.
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!

Do u happen to watch Walter santi?
Do u happen to watch Walter santi?
D Artagnan is a great name
For a moment I thought you where talking about a musician that plays the hurdy gurdy lol
I would have never thought of Husky or any Nordic dog breed. Reminds me of a collie mix I had years ago. Beautiful dog!
I had a collie husky mix and this dog reminds me a lot of my Taffy.
@@janmcclure6239 glad to know it's not just me who sees this. Smartest dog I ever had.
Like mine, also a collie mix!
The nose isn’t as flat as a collie. But maybe if he was a collie-husky mix?

Big corgi❤ Tall corgi ❤Tornado full of fur
Purr purr purr
I was thinking husky/corgi mix!
@@ginnyhaynie529me too. I have a corgi mix and I'm getting a real corgi vibe mixed with the husky and who knows what else. He is such a handsome sweet boy. What a good dog.
@@ginnyhaynie529was thinking the same thing! He’s such a cute mix, whatever he is!
Anxious corgi, whiny corgi, bark bark bark
I love the respect and patience you show the scared dogs,

He's a beauty. I'm so thankful he was rescued.
What a flippin' gorgeous ginger of a dog.
Yay someone else who can tell his colouring is red not gold
You put the most nervous dogs at their ease with your calm voice and kindness. I wish all dog groomers were like you.❤
You are so great with these pups! Thanks for making Aspen more beautiful . Good boy ❤️
For fellow thick-coated dog owners: try saving your empty peanut butter jars and let them lick at it while you blow dry.
It's been a wonderful tool for me and my Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. The angle she is at while licking the pb jar allows me to get her thick neck fluff and chest, with absolute minimal stress.
Here's hoping that with time, TLC, treats, and sensitive care - Aspen will blossom into a confident, brave golden boy.
So glad he came to see you for his first grooming experience. He's in the best hands.
He is a gorgeous dog, and amazingly well behaved despite his fear! Thank you for getting him through the stressful situation.
7:40 He's smiling ❤❤🥰🥰
He is absolutely gorgeous. An understandably anxious boy considering he's never been groomed and being a rescue dog as well. he was a good boy. You are the best groomer to groom aspen
There is great intelligence in those eyes. Beautiful dog. Great job as always,Vanessa.
Some kid is waiting for him what an awesome best friend
Aspen wasn't a fan of drowning and flamethrower dryer🙂. He is so gorgeous.
As scared and nervous as he was, he did seem to eventually realize he wasn't being harmed but I think the more he gets groomed, he has potential to be the greatest dog to groom. Fingers crossed for his future 😊.
He's a beautiful color. And the very best boi for never having been groomed before.
Two beautiful red heads together. The Husky in him was making it’s presence to Vanessa. He settled down quite well as the grooming progressed.
His coat color makes him stunning. He would be a wonderful animal to own or adopt.
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 an intelligent, good natured dog! He was terribly frightened by this strange new experience, but never seemed aggressive. Hopefully his good experience today will help him cope with grooming in the future.
I saw those eyes and knew there was Husky involved. A good looking dog and probably well behaved when not being tortured by the water snake
What a sweet dog! He was so frightened, esp. in the bath, yet he didn't bite or do anything aggressive. Who knows what experiences he's had that has made him so afraid? He also looks so soft at the end! I wish I could pet him & give him some love.
What a gorgeous dog! And I bet that, with repeated groomings and a lot of patience, he’s going to go to his appointments like a pro in no time. Good boy, Aspen!
I hope he finds his forever home soon. He deserves the bestest family ever!

Even tho, I rescued our kitties as kittens, I know Smokey for sure was found abandoned as a tiny kitten, ALONE in a trash can.😢 💔 He's TERRIFIED of loud noises-runs under my bed for HOURS...
All we as pet parents can do is love them unconditionally AND be patient.🤗 They're sooo LOVING!
Aww he's so handsome
Vanessa, I love how you explain sympathetically to your clients how and why things must be done 😅 He is gorgeous and shows his drama Husky side.
Husky face, ears & muzzle structure but a collie colour. Smart. Beautiful. He deserves a good home.
What a beautiful boy... Colour of his coat is fantastic. You have to love the angle of those ears... And all that fluff. He was good even tho stressed. Thank you for sharing Aspen.
Aww poor scared baby! I find your videos so soothing Vanessa! I love how you are so attentive to the emotional needs of these sweet souls! Also I like how you teach us new things about animal health and care. So glad I found you! Love from Eastern Europe!
He's a lovely dog, appealing to all his ancestors to come and rescue him from these tribulations ❤
Such a pretty doggo! Good to see he calmed a bit and allowed the nail trim and the clippers. With time and exposure hopefully he will calm and become compliant. Sweet disposition…
He looks like a husky/golden retriever mix. He’s gorgeous. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I thought the same. ☺️
I'd love to see a DNA test done on him!
My guess was husky/collie or husky/aussie. He's beautiful, we know that for sure!
I'm guessing husky/Aussie because of the red fur
@@theashwoodfaerie2 Our Golden was auburn/red like this fella. : )
MY HEART❤❤❤
Hands down the most beautiful dog I have ever seen
What a gorgeous dog. Hopefully he will remember you and not be so distressed in the future.
What a beautiful colour.❤
He's a handsome guy, and compared to that last little gremlin, he's a complete gentleman.
😂😂😂😂….. She has definitely had a few "gremlins!"
Vanessa, I am always impressed with how you adjust your 'spa treatments' to accommodate the needs of your clients.
When he cries, I just want to give him a great big hug.
Great job, Vanessa.
You know he's a really sweet boy
He's a very handsome boy with a beautiful coat.
Aspen is just one big, beautiful hunk of a dog.
Be interesting to do a dna on him. Very beautiful dog
Fabulous dog! Handled grooming pretty well for his first time- no sign of aggression- Good boy!
Oh he is so handsome! Those blue eyes of his are just stunning! I would take him home in a heartbeat!!!😅
Aspen is so so pretty, one of prettiest Huskey mixes I've seen....that red is gorgeous. He did really with your confident attitude!
I suspect that within a couple of hours after posting this video, Aspen will have a waiting list for people that want to adopt him. Beautiful dog.
I love rescue dogs ... and cats. Thank you for helping them.
I think that's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. 💌
What a beauty. Such a good boy!
His coat reminds me of a corgi.
I was thinking this, too!
Might be a husky with some corgi. As she said it a husky mix
A corky!
Corguski??
Or border collie mix
He looks so beautiful and sweet. Being a rescue, it is natural to think he would be frightened, still he was really good.
He seems to me more of a collie (especially his coat and the temperament), but either way adorable. Such a good boy.
Amazing that he’s not matted with that beautiful long fur! So handsome!
I don't know what he's mixed with but his coloration is just beautiful! 😍😍😍
He's such a pretty boy, so sweet. ❤❤❤
He is beautiful. Glad you could get some things accomplished.
Oh he is lovely..! 🧡 My rescue dog was terrified of water because they used to wash the floors of the cages with a hose every day in the shelter, with the dogs inside.

Such a cute doge! Yes, he is anxious, but I see the Husky in him peeking out.
Immediately fell in love with this absolutely stunning boy ❤🐺❤🐺❤🐺
You were so good with him Vanessa 💞
Such a lucky owner 🙏❤️🥰🙏
Aspen is a Floofy Talkin' Gud Boy! WOOF! 🐶💟
What a beautiful dog! He tried hard to understand and then resign himself to his fate.
LOVE when you groom rescue dogs!
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! 🙏❤️
His inner Husky, let's him sing the songs of his people. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
Aspen is a beautiful boy and he was well-behaved most of the time. I know he was scared. He looked great when you were done and I know he was very happy he had survived!! Next time, he may not be so afraid. I know his owners will be delighted when they see him!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Looks like Husky/Akita/Chow mix. Nice work.
