Toby is an absolute angel at the groomer. Considering you didn't start him out as a pup, that speaks volumes about Toby's temperament and personality. You're fortunate that she lets you in her work area while she works on him because most groomers will not not. I like that she's old-school and scrubs him by hand instead of using a bathing system. After his bath and blowout, you could see how sparkly clean he is.
I love that she blow dries him herself. I had a spaniel mix that had a dense waterproof double coat and I had a hell of a time finding a groomer that would actually dry him. They expected to be able to just put him in a crate with a blower on him the whole time and have him be dry in an hour or two. Ha! Frequently we picked him up and he was damp all over, if not wet. And he’d be so stressed out that I couldn’t get near him with a blow dryer at home, so it would take a couple days for him to air dry fully, poor guy.
Boy I agree, what a wonderful furrbaby!! I do NOT think he needs more than brushing & nails maybe, being an outside dog, waste of $ to me, but Toby is so good & sweet.❤❤🐾
As a husky owner, I totally recommend shifting your grooming schedule to spring and fall. Won't have to worry about the temps so much and it coincides a little better with when they're changing coats. Toby is such a good and handsome boy!
even as a cat owner I recommend this 😭 My cats a short hair and she sheds like crazy during spring and fall (she has kidney disease so that might affect how much she sheds too, though her furs full and healthy still) I have to brush her during spring and fall or she coughs up hair balls!
Yeah, I'm not familiar with Malamutes and Husky's but I'm pretty sure normally it's recommended to groom outside of the winter. Yet, since he's an all-time outside dog, I assume he's pretty well prepared for this. But still, it's a weird moment to groom, especially with a -22°c temperature.
@@jameseenacoene5769 all the hair that was removed is just "dead" hair and would've fallen out over time anyways. As you can see in the video, he has plenty coat to keep him warm and his body will always make sure he has.
Toby is such a terrific dog ! He makes me smile every time he is shown on your channel. Really looking forward to watching him bond with the new puppy when she comes.
Toby showed no aggression toward that other dog and actually seemed shy toward the other dog. That is a good think with the new puppy coming. No worries about Toby being aggressive toward her. Enjoying these videos and look forward to them. I do miss the live streaming, it was a lot of fun.
As a professional groomer and farm owner, I am sooooooo happy to see someone who is not only brushing their farm dog but also getting him regular grooming ❤️ add in the fact that you had proper health testing done before you would even consider breeding him… you’ve certainly gained a fan!! Nykea did a great job and was so gentle and thorough! I wish more people could see the amount of care and WORK that goes into dog grooming ❤️
It might be best to do Toby groomer trips spring and fall. Fall to get him cleaned up before he gets the winter coat, spring to get rid of the winter coat for summer.
That might have been his original plan, but I know in the last video, Toby was absolutely filthy. It looked like he had actually rolled around in mud, possibly cow manure as well. Given the temperature, he wouldn't have wanted to wash him himself, but he did make an offhand remark that he needed a bath. So, I think it was more out of necessity than practicality.
@@helenfruitticher2444 Grooming doesn't remove them undercoat - if they're a good groomer (which she is). Shaving is the problem, which some bad or inexperienced groomers will do to double coated dogs. All proper grooming does is remove the stuck hair follicles and prevent matting. All that fur you saw, that's just trapped hair, wait til he blows his winter coat. He'll really have a "Toby sweater" then.
We have a Pyrenees and it's just ridiculous how much fur comes out while blow-drying and days afterwards! Her name is Snow and we always say it "Snows" all year long!
My golden is the same way, only I don't blow dry her. She is terrified of it. Used to take her to the groomers but she gets anxiety when separated from me. I just wash her at home and take her to the vet to get her nails done.
Nikita is a GREAT groomer. She's so meticulous and doing everything old school by hand on Toby....AWesome! Toby looks great and he acts like he feels great too! All the "fluff" coming out of him is just dead coat that's stuck in there. Actually removing that "dead fluff" so that the air properly circulates in the coat will keep him warmer! It allows any moisture at his skin to get out more effectively than a "Felted" dead fluff in the coat would. Great job Morgan.
Twice a year to the groomer weather he needs it or not, lol. Toby is such a good boy, hope the little girl arriving next month has a lovely temperament as well. The groomer does an excellent job, that is a huge amount of work. Thanks for taking us along, see you soon!
I train my livestock pups with the leash right away and car rides it makes it so much easier on them and us when we have to go to places. If I take a goat to vet or anything I let one of our livestock dogs come with for the ride so they and the goat can stay together it has really worked out great for us.
Nikia is such a great find for Toby! She really seems to connect with Toby well and keep him good and calm during the grooming. But of course, a good deal of that is from how good of a boy Toby is!
With the new puppy you need to take her with you in the truck frequently so she's comfortable with riding. Once she's trained you can start taking Toby on short rides until he gets comfortable.
@@patrickalbrecht2385 Because stress is not good for animals. In humans, it can cause high blood pressure, nausea, and anxiety, but in smaller creatures like dogs, cats, chickens etc if it's bad enough, it can kill them. This particular stressor is easily combatted with positive reinforcement. If he sees the leash and truck and they go somewhere positive, he won't think it's only for the horrors of the vet and groomer, making him more comfortable for the whole trip. Dogs in particular have a terrible sense of time passing, so a 10min drive to a field to play vs 40min drive to the vet would be the same effect.
Ideally you'd countercondition the car ride and everything so it becomes enjoyable. Especially since he seems pretty stressed and it might get worse so keep an eye on that. If that is too much work you could just countercondition putting on a leash (and maybe hopping in the car). Take him on a leash, give a good cookie let him go back. Make sure that's 90% of going on leash. Would take 5 minutes a day. For walking on leash you could walk for a few seconds first and give the treat then, once the simple act of putting on the leash isn't a problem anymore. This would make it less stressful for Toby but also make it a lot easier since you wouldn't have to catch hime
Toby's first grooming video is what brought me to your channel, so this was a real treat! Nikea (sp?) is so great with him and is clearly an animal lover after my own heart. Toby wasn't loving the process but I promise you he felt SOOO much better afterwards being clean and having all that dead coat out 💙💙💙
i had a Pyrenees mix i used to load up an take to the dog park for a romp around a couple times a week. he'd be sooo excited he'd get right in the truck just as happy as could be until he realized we'd drove past it on the way to the vet or groomers instead lol. it's like ya let all the air outta him. next trip out to actually go to the park, he'd be eyeing me all suspicious thinking something was up lol.
Oh what a job, the hair on the lights, floor & never thought how he needs to be completely, thoroughly dry being outdoors in that snow!! She sure does a good job & Toby, you sweetest FURRRRbaby ever!! Glad he got that well deserved bone! 🤗🐕🐾❤💖
I just love Toby Dog. He is the sweetest boy, so gentle. All that fur that brushes out is ready to be gone so it is perfectly fine to groom him and bath him in winter as long as he is completely dry because u don't want your pet getting pneumonia,. Your Groomer is a real pro and does a fabulous job. Toby is going to feel great.
I know this isn’t what the video is about BUT....... I CANNOT WAIT FOR TOBY TO MENTOR YOUR NEW PUPPY WHEN IT COMES TO THE FARM! He is so gentle and such a good dog I just can’t wait for him to be able to teach another dog his good traits and for him to have a (DOG) friend on the farm!
Man toby is an absolute boss, he may have been a little stressed but he weathered through it and was so happy to be home on his farm. He was so well behaved around other dogs considering he doesn’t see too many. Fair play to you on doing such a great job on all your animals and youtube of course
1:53 What for beautiful eyes 😊 and 4:21: Absolut true, Toby-Dog is a very special one, but because u tread him so damn well! You have the spirit about how to interact with your animals, that’s how life for both sides (if you get “use” of them) should be. You give them their space and they know exactly what is allowed, what’s not. Looking forward for Toby-Dogs assistants, that will be a very interesting story but I’ve got no doubt your “farm-family-team” can do it. This channel is extremely relaxing and enjoying to watch, the farm sends good vibrations. 🤗 Love and Peace from Germany ✌
Yes, I have also used it with cats who get motion sickness if they can't see the horizon. Just make sure you have an appropriate chest harness to clip it to and not just a collar which would be super dangerous in an accident.
Adding to the chorus on this! If you took Toby in the truck frequently, you might be better served by installing a barrier between the front and back of the cab to keep him safe in the event of a car accident (only really an option with large dogs), but it doesn't seem worth it for just a few times a year. Get him a car harness and seatbelt clip-in short tether instead. Just PLEASE be careful about which harness and tether you buy. There is a huge problem in the US (and here in Canada, where I live, since most of our pet products come from the US) with harnesses and tethers claiming to be "crash-tested", but there are no actual safety regulations for pet products, so the claim is meaningless. Companies set their standards wherever they want and decide for themselves if they've passed. There's only one org that is doing independent assessments of products to see if the safety claims are BS or not. They're the Center for Pet Safety and they publish a list of products that have actually passed independent testing. Turns out most harnesses and tethers would seriously injure or kill the dogs wearing them, so make sure you're buying off the CPS list. There's a great Globe and Mail article about this if you want to read more about the problem. Article title is "Can harnesses really keep your pet safe in the car?" for easy Googling. :)
I train dogs n part of the reason Toby is so good is you respect his intelligence and ask him to work n be on task its lovely to watch your bond with all the animals🥰
*Quick side note- you'd be surprised how many of us actually have items made from our dog's fur. I personally have mittens and a scarf from my favorite Pyr, Just my way of remembering him. There are people that collect and spin the fur so that it can be worked. Check into it, I think some Toby mittens would be awesome! I always tell my two that when I'm done brushing them we have enough hair to make a new dog 🤣.
Poor Toby dog! What a good boy he is. I think he would do anything in the world for you. He's losing all that hair because he's so nervous. Cat's do that. Hair flying everywhere when they're scared. Toby's the only dog I know that doesn't like taking a ride in the truck. We used to go see friends with a big dog and every time we'd leave their dog would jump in the back of our truck and we'd have to take him for a ride before we could go home. 😁
You really should buckle him in. A harness his size wouldn’t be cheap, but they are easy to use and the seatbelt goes through a loop to keep him safe. If you happened to have an accident with him in the car uncontained, he would be a huge projectile and go through the windscreen, and he would probably give you a head injury on his way through. The harness will seem expensive for just a couple of trips a year, but it’s an investment in his safety and yours. I don’t go out much, but the first accessory I bought for each of my dogs was a car harness, and it will be the first for any future dogs too. He looks beautiful and sweet and soft and fluffy 😁
I had Samoyed mixes as a kid. Another great winter breed! They loved cold weather and snow. We had a hard time getting them to come inside in the winter 🐶🐶
@@deed5811 lol, I think that’s a common problem with most of the “I like ice” breeds. My sister had two Sammies years ago. She wanted to breed Sammies. She had one litter and she had a hard time watching the puppies go to other homes. She wanted to keep them all.
Your "killer machine" is so cute😂😍 I love how you take care of him,and she did a really good job,you can see she loves her job and has a kind heart😊 I love watching your videos and be a part of your journey☺
Good boy Toby! A recommendation for your groomer, a bee-keepers hat with mesh head covering. It does an awesome job of keeping the dog hair out of your nose, mouth hair etc. Just vacuum the hair off the hat and mesh when done.
The first grooming video is actually the first video of yours I’d ever seen. I’d been watching grooming videos for cavalier King Charles Spaniels to figure out what I’m doing with my dogs and for some reason this video about a farm dog getting groomed for the first time came up in recommended. Been addicted ever since
I lovvveeee when I get to watch videos all about Toby!!!! I love Toby dog so much and wish I could hug and kiss that big floof!!! You are a great owner!!!
To help Toby get comfortable with the car, it’s important to take him fun places, not just the vet or groomer. I know he loves his farm, but taking him on fun field trips will help! It helped a ton with my dog who used to HATE the car, but now gets excited to go in the car even though she gets carsick.
A good brushing is always good for a dog, even in the winter. Remember, the undercoat sheds even in the winter. The more cleaner/fluffy the coat, the easier the dog can regulate the heat / cold.
Yeah, I was also thinking some short trips in the car then right back to the farm where he gets a big treat would be helpful too. Or trips to the tractor supply store or wherever. That way the car doesn’t only mean vet or groomer. It could just mean short trips that mean treats when we get home.
He has the most beautiful doggie eyes! That one close up of his face stole my heart. Considering that this is not his favorite activity, he is very well behaved. I have two little dogs (Bichon-Maltese and Bichon-terrier) who act like they are being abused when getting brushed or bathed!
A clean and well brushed fur is warmer in the cold. Keeping the warm air in between the hairs and his skin and warming him like a thermos. I have thougt about it, seen a few matted spots on Mr Toby, wondered about the groomer... and as usual you all on Gold Shaw Farm are way ahead of all of us watching your videos. This is some of the pleasure following your TH-cam channel, one can just enjoy and learn. You all always look in to things, read, seek advice, search new information, and doing your homework. Maybe city people have another way of doing things than other farmers. But you have a deep respect for animals and will nerver let your animals down. Like your style, Gold Shaw Farm!
Toby is an incredible dog. Seeing a dog that lives outside 24/7 and has a job on the farm being able to sit comfortably and get groomed for hours without so much as a bark is amazing. Toby is such a good dog. Edit: this groomer needs an industrial strength blower.
Toby Dog looks so handsome. After his spa visit, he looks like a shiny new penny. He may not like going to get groomed, but he will be very happy when it's over.
Such a good pup! You are clearly such a good owner. People always criticize but you’re doing an amazing job. Toby is a happy and healthy pup who is so well behaved
I have never seen a dog cooperate as much as Toby did at the groomer! He is such a well behaved and obedient dog. He didn’t fuss about the water the sofa shower the hair dryer or blower but there came a point when he had enough and he just jumped off that table. But maybe it’s because he needed to Pee, and that’s exactly what he did… he had held it as long as he could after all you said it took him 2 1/2 hours just to dry his fur, So I don’t know how long he was at the groomers but as soon as you get me wet (or I wash my hands) I want to go to the bathroom) … so I imagine Kobe is much like that as well! He sounded like a little engine as he planted in the truck totally willing to be done with the car ride and the groomer but he was very very obedient! You’ve done an excellent job Morgan raising Toby!!
Now that you have more free time, you could train Toby Dog to like the leash better by doing things like taking him on walks, even if they're really short ones around the farm (outside of his fenced in area, so he can explore areas novel to him providing positive mental stimulation), or taking him to places he would like, and giving him treats while on leash and after. That way he doesn't associate the leash strictly with unpleasant events and it'll be easier to get him on leash whenever you need to take him to the vet or groomer. Also, for safety during transport, you can buy a doggy seat belt that attaches to a harness or collar on one end and can be buckled in on the other. I would also recommend a harness that he'd step into and would buckle between his shoulder blades, with O-rings on either side of the buckle to hook into. This way, if you were to get into a car accident or have to break really hard, he doesn't get choked by a collar, or risk the buckle on his harness coming undone (because the O-rings on either side prevent that). My dog also gets anxious in the car, and i use both of these to help secure her. Getting a dog backseat cover with a front barrier that attaches to the front seat headrests could also help insure he stays in the back and doesn't fall off the back seat into the floorboard.
I feel like every dog owner has the same tone and inflection in their voice when their dog is peeing somewhere they shouldn't 😄 Poor Tobes, he was such a good sport about the whole grooming process.
If you open a window you'll find Toby will travel a whole lot better. Many people who don't have travel sickness, i do, aren't aware why their pet hates travelling, why their pets are panting overheating or vomiting. Open the window for breeze so they can control their temperature and anxiety of feeling like they're suffocating.
Such a handsome and well behaved lad ........ ☺.... and a thanks to you and his groomer for sharing his spa day. Also a tad off subject Morgan; but read a comment on another vine re prevention of water from freezing when temps drop. Don't know if it works but perhaps you might be willing to try it if haven't already. Method; fill a small water bottle with 3/4 cup of salt, add water to fill, tightly secure top and submerge into water source. i.e.: A tub or trough. Apparently it should float and stops the water from icing up.
Toby was such a good lad!! Thank you so much for including temperatures in centigrade! I'm in the UK and still can't get my head around it, I have to Google it every time
So cute And I wanted to thank you Morgan for the translation From Fahrenheit to Celsius I am from Europe from Slovakia So I appreciate it. thank you have a good day

Toby has a great life also.

Was going to say exactly that...and love this channel 👏
Toby needs his undercoat and the oil to tolerate the winter weather.
I also believe that since he quit his job he has time to do this stuff I wouldn’t be surprised if he does get on to a spring fall schedule.

Our Saint Bernard is the same way. A 3 to 4 hour appointment and most of it is for drying.

When I saw this comment I thought he was going to introduce the puppy to Toby.

...he is an outside dog tho ...

Toby is such a good boy! So calm and just doesn't have a care in the world. Good boy, Toby.
Nothing wrong with a little Toby guard dog spa day . Virtual hug dude ! Handsome lad 🦴🍖🚿👑💙
What a great dog Toby is! You can see he's really not comfortable, but he doesn't protest a bit. Beautiful doggy. 🥰
Nikia's smooch on Toby's muzzle melted my heart. 💙
He is indeed a good boi!
Didn't expect to start my day watching a dog get groomed, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Toby is so cute coz he clearly doesn’t like it but he’s such a good boy anyway
Your Groomer did an Amazing Job!! God Bless and have a Great Week!! 😀⚘❤
As a dog groomer for years I just have to say this was such a great groom!

Preserving his bloodline is the best idea. That dog attitude is a gem. It is nice that you decided to give him a pair to breed.
Oh i agree. Gems of working dogs are essential to keep
I absolutely love the videos of Toby going to the groomers! Nikia is awesome!
Toby was very well behaved! This groomer really works hard and does an excellent job.
Again LOVE the temp conversion, also the filter you had during the ad read was TOO PERFECT looool didn't expect it, so so happy to see it
Man toby is an absolute boss, he may have been a little stressed but he weathered through it and was so happy to be home on his farm. He was so well behaved around other dogs considering he doesn’t see too many.
Fair play to you on doing such a great job on all your animals and youtube of course
1:53 What for beautiful eyes 😊 and 4:21: Absolut true, Toby-Dog is a very special one, but because u tread him so damn well! You have the spirit about how to interact with your animals, that’s how life for both sides (if you get “use” of them) should be. You give them their space and they know exactly what is allowed, what’s not. Looking forward for Toby-Dogs assistants, that will be a very interesting story but I’ve got no doubt your “farm-family-team” can do it. This channel is extremely relaxing and enjoying to watch, the farm sends good vibrations. 🤗
Love and Peace from Germany ✌
Toby is such a good boy, his patience and tolerance at the groomer are amazing, I did enjoy his "little" revenge at the end lol "I pee on all of it!"
They make leashes that can buckle into seatbelts, I highly recommend looking into them! A small accident could easily send Toby or new pup flying.
Yes, I have also used it with cats who get motion sickness if they can't see the horizon. Just make sure you have an appropriate chest harness to clip it to and not just a collar which would be super dangerous in an accident.
You can get dog safety belts they are a harness that clips onto the seatbelt
As long as Toby gets a harness too.
Adding to the chorus on this! If you took Toby in the truck frequently, you might be better served by installing a barrier between the front and back of the cab to keep him safe in the event of a car accident (only really an option with large dogs), but it doesn't seem worth it for just a few times a year. Get him a car harness and seatbelt clip-in short tether instead.
Just PLEASE be careful about which harness and tether you buy. There is a huge problem in the US (and here in Canada, where I live, since most of our pet products come from the US) with harnesses and tethers claiming to be "crash-tested", but there are no actual safety regulations for pet products, so the claim is meaningless. Companies set their standards wherever they want and decide for themselves if they've passed. There's only one org that is doing independent assessments of products to see if the safety claims are BS or not. They're the Center for Pet Safety and they publish a list of products that have actually passed independent testing. Turns out most harnesses and tethers would seriously injure or kill the dogs wearing them, so make sure you're buying off the CPS list.
There's a great Globe and Mail article about this if you want to read more about the problem. Article title is "Can harnesses really keep your pet safe in the car?" for easy Googling. :)
I have a doggy seatbelt that attaches on one end to the harness/collar and the other end is a buckle.
I love the groomer, how good she is with him, how thorough she is with him. And let’s not forget Toby being such a good boy too. Love It
I train dogs n part of the reason Toby is so good is you respect his intelligence and ask him to work n be on task its lovely to watch your bond with all the animals🥰
*Quick side note- you'd be surprised how many of us actually have items made from our dog's fur. I personally have mittens and a scarf from my favorite Pyr, Just my way of remembering him. There are people that collect and spin the fur so that it can be worked. Check into it, I think some Toby mittens would be awesome! I always tell my two that when I'm done brushing them we have enough hair to make a new dog 🤣.
Poor Toby dog! What a good boy he is. I think he would do anything in the world for you. He's losing all that hair because he's so nervous. Cat's do that. Hair flying everywhere when they're scared. Toby's the only dog I know that doesn't like taking a ride in the truck. We used to go see friends with a big dog and every time we'd leave their dog would jump in the back of our truck and we'd have to take him for a ride before we could go home. 😁
Every animal that you have is so full of love and beautiful. It's a great plus for us that you do this full-time. More to watch! I love it!
Wow, She's an excellent groomer! Toby is a big job. What a beautiful sweet boy!
You really should buckle him in. A harness his size wouldn’t be cheap, but they are easy to use and the seatbelt goes through a loop to keep him safe. If you happened to have an accident with him in the car uncontained, he would be a huge projectile and go through the windscreen, and he would probably give you a head injury on his way through. The harness will seem expensive for just a couple of trips a year, but it’s an investment in his safety and yours. I don’t go out much, but the first accessory I bought for each of my dogs was a car harness, and it will be the first for any future dogs too.
He looks beautiful and sweet and soft and fluffy 😁
Toby got so fluffy he looked sort of like a Samoyed, just an off white one.
He is such a good boy and so beautiful. He is one happy boy!
I had Samoyed mixes as a kid. Another great winter breed! They loved cold weather and snow. We had a hard time getting them to come inside in the winter 🐶🐶
@@deed5811 lol, I think that’s a common problem with most of the “I like ice” breeds.
My sister had two Sammies years ago. She wanted to breed Sammies. She had one litter and she had a hard time watching the puppies go to other homes. She wanted to keep them all.
You need to take him somewhere fun more often so he can associate something positive with the leash and truck.
Exactly
He would prefer to not travel
I don’t think it’s necessary. He rarely leave the farm. He doesn’t like it, but he is being a good boy anyway 😃👍
Hard to take a dog somewhere more fun when they live on a farm.
Your "killer machine" is so cute😂😍 I love how you take care of him,and she did a really good job,you can see she loves her job and has a kind heart😊
I love watching your videos and be a part of your journey☺
Good boy Toby! A recommendation for your groomer, a bee-keepers hat with mesh head covering. It does an awesome job of keeping the dog hair out of your nose, mouth hair etc. Just vacuum the hair off the hat and mesh when done.
Toby dog has the most mild and gentle demeanor, like a lazy river and his energy upon returning was like look at me, had that pup in his step...lol
The first grooming video is actually the first video of yours I’d ever seen. I’d been watching grooming videos for cavalier King Charles Spaniels to figure out what I’m doing with my dogs and for some reason this video about a farm dog getting groomed for the first time came up in recommended. Been addicted ever since
The first grooming video led me this channel too! I watch every day now
I lovvveeee when I get to watch videos all about Toby!!!! I love Toby dog so much and wish I could hug and kiss that big floof!!! You are a great owner!!!
To help Toby get comfortable with the car, it’s important to take him fun places, not just the vet or groomer. I know he loves his farm, but taking him on fun field trips will help! It helped a ton with my dog who used to HATE the car, but now gets excited to go in the car even though she gets carsick.
Toby dog might be the best behaved doggo i have ever seen, so chill even when he is stressed he is totally chill :D
A good brushing is always good for a dog, even in the winter. Remember, the undercoat sheds even in the winter. The more cleaner/fluffy the coat, the easier the dog can regulate the heat / cold.
you should do leash training with treats regularly so he looses the connection between leash and something bad
Yes put on the leash give a treat remove leash build up for longer times on leash with a reward each time and a walk around the farm
Yeah, I was also thinking some short trips in the car then right back to the farm where he gets a big treat would be helpful too. Or trips to the tractor supply store or wherever.
That way the car doesn’t only mean vet or groomer. It could just mean short trips that mean treats when we get home.
He's not a dog that is usually on a leash he's a working dog not a companion
He has the most beautiful doggie eyes! That one close up of his face stole my heart. Considering that this is not his favorite activity, he is very well behaved. I have two little dogs (Bichon-Maltese and Bichon-terrier) who act like they are being abused when getting brushed or bathed!
A clean and well brushed fur is warmer in the cold. Keeping the warm air in between the hairs and his skin and warming him like a thermos. I have thougt about it, seen a few matted spots on Mr Toby, wondered about the groomer... and as usual you all on Gold Shaw Farm are way ahead of all of us watching your videos. This is some of the pleasure following your TH-cam channel, one can just enjoy and learn. You all always look in to things, read, seek advice, search new information, and doing your homework. Maybe city people have another way of doing things than other farmers. But you have a deep respect for animals and will nerver let your animals down. Like your style, Gold Shaw Farm!
I’m glad you have more time to find the fun interjections. Toby feels the Groomer/Vet Vibes just by your different than usual morning greeting.
I love when u take him for a wash!!!! I love the last video!!! Plus that girl has a good sense of humor
Toby sure is one patient dog. Beautiful boy.
Thanks for taking us along.
Please take care and be safe
Toby is an incredible dog. Seeing a dog that lives outside 24/7 and has a job on the farm being able to sit comfortably and get groomed for hours without so much as a bark is amazing. Toby is such a good dog. Edit: this groomer needs an industrial strength blower.
Yes, that amount of time blow-drying him is a lot of work for both the groomer and dog. Something with more power could really help her.
@@juliemcgugan1244 I'm glad I wasn't the only person that noticed that. It seemed like that blower was barely moving Toby's coat.
Hope you keep growing. Great edits and content. Thanks for sharing.
I love how down to earth Nikia is, she seems awesome! :)
Toby Dog looks so handsome. After his spa visit, he looks like a shiny new penny. He may not like going to get groomed, but he will be very happy when it's over.
Such a good pup! You are clearly such a good owner. People always criticize but you’re doing an amazing job. Toby is a happy and healthy pup who is so well behaved
Toby is SO SMART!!! What a smart doggy Toby boy is!!
She’s an awesome groomer!
Stoic good boy. Hates it but endures patiently. So lovely
I have never seen a dog cooperate as much as Toby did at the groomer! He is such a well behaved and obedient dog. He didn’t fuss about the water the sofa shower the hair dryer or blower but there came a point when he had enough and he just jumped off that table. But maybe it’s because he needed to Pee, and that’s exactly what he did… he had held it as long as he could after all you said it took him 2 1/2 hours just to dry his fur, So I don’t know how long he was at the groomers but as soon as you get me wet (or I wash my hands) I want to go to the bathroom) … so I imagine Kobe is much like that as well! He sounded like a little engine as he planted in the truck totally willing to be done with the car ride and the groomer but he was very very obedient! You’ve done an excellent job Morgan raising Toby!!
Toby is the Best ! What a good boy .
Toby is such a great dog. Also, you're Toby sweater is hilarious.
Toby actually looks like a grown man now 🥺 not so lanky any more. He's such a good boy.
Now that you have more free time, you could train Toby Dog to like the leash better by doing things like taking him on walks, even if they're really short ones around the farm (outside of his fenced in area, so he can explore areas novel to him providing positive mental stimulation), or taking him to places he would like, and giving him treats while on leash and after. That way he doesn't associate the leash strictly with unpleasant events and it'll be easier to get him on leash whenever you need to take him to the vet or groomer.
Also, for safety during transport, you can buy a doggy seat belt that attaches to a harness or collar on one end and can be buckled in on the other. I would also recommend a harness that he'd step into and would buckle between his shoulder blades, with O-rings on either side of the buckle to hook into. This way, if you were to get into a car accident or have to break really hard, he doesn't get choked by a collar, or risk the buckle on his harness coming undone (because the O-rings on either side prevent that). My dog also gets anxious in the car, and i use both of these to help secure her. Getting a dog backseat cover with a front barrier that attaches to the front seat headrests could also help insure he stays in the back and doesn't fall off the back seat into the floorboard.
Hi..Try opening the the Truck's windows, and keeping your Jacket on, when driving..might make Toby feel cooler at least...Just a thought..Ha!
Thanks for sharing so many different activities you do on the farm. I love all of it!
I feel like every dog owner has the same tone and inflection in their voice when their dog is peeing somewhere they shouldn't 😄 Poor Tobes, he was such a good sport about the whole grooming process.
Love watching Toby getting a lot tender loving care..💯💞💯💞💯
I was so happy seeing him being so happy to be back home.
Pablo: "Yeah, you look great, maybe you should go inside with little barn cat, pretty boy!?"
If you open a window you'll find Toby will travel a whole lot better. Many people who don't have travel sickness, i do, aren't aware why their pet hates travelling, why their pets are panting overheating or vomiting. Open the window for breeze so they can control their temperature and anxiety of feeling like they're suffocating.
Toby is a very good boy! He looks beautiful after his grooming.☺
Such a handsome and well behaved lad ........ ☺.... and a thanks to you and his groomer for sharing his spa day. Also a tad off subject Morgan; but read a comment on another vine re prevention of water from freezing when temps drop. Don't know if it works but perhaps you might be willing to try it if haven't already. Method; fill a small water bottle with 3/4 cup of salt, add water to fill, tightly secure top and submerge into water source. i.e.: A tub or trough. Apparently it should float and stops the water from icing up.
Love seeing how careful and considerate of the cold you were!! Such a cutie
Toby was such a good lad!!
Thank you so much for including temperatures in centigrade! I'm in the UK and still can't get my head around it, I have to Google it every time
Ver a Toby bañandose me ha alegrado el día
Always happy to see toby get groomed and I love this groomer!
So cute
And I wanted to thank you Morgan for the translation From Fahrenheit to Celsius I am from Europe from Slovakia So I appreciate it. thank you have a good day
He's truly a good dog. Beautiful too.
Aww, Toby, you're such a good boi!
