How about a "how to do a sanitary trim" course? After paws, I think that's one a lot of people might appreciate. At least those with fluffy dogs. According to my vet, Miss Fluffy Britches, my Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix, should be getting regular sanitary trims of her booty fluff. She has a nasty UTI right now. Problem is, she's very afraid of the vet and I'm assuming will fear groomers too. And where I live, they want $100 just to do the sanitary trim, nothing else. Not even including a nail trim.
With my lack of Dexterity, meaning the flexibility of my arms and hands, I would not even try it! At least, with our dogs, we never had to do their nails. The Sidewalk wore them down enough. In so far as Toe Pads, I had never seen or heard of that done until I started watching your videos. I guess, that would have taken care of their, "Popcorn Paws"! (They always smelled like popcorn.).
@@BuckeyetheCat Do not watch The Mayonnaise ones. That first video, almost, had me diving under my desk! I had fully forgotten about a cat that punched my nose! He had been declawed & Neutered in the same surgery.
Oh no way, for a Great Pyrenees he was rebelling hard. Did you not see how strongly he tried to jerk his front paws away? That's GP rebellion at its highest peak.
@@Teuwufel You clearly misunderstood me. :) For a Great Pyrenees, who are naturally passive and relaxed in any situation not involving the protection of their flock (including their humans), he was definitely letting his feelings be known. For a Great Pyrenees. Which means he was still a dream to work with. But when he was pulling his paws away that hard, that was GP for "please stop this now, madame, for you are upsetting me greatly, and I shall not abide this assault of my person!!!" "See, I warned you!!!!!!"
@@DocFunkenstein 100%! 😂 And though luckily they have very few bad habits their #1 trait is "Independent Thinkers". Commonly known as stubborn as he77!!
my friend's pittie rolled around in the horse pasture (read: POO) immediately after we let her out of the car. my friend was not pleased since she now had to drive back home with a horse poop dog. LOL
I don't think the owners groomed his coat on a regular basis. I had two Pyrenees and they do take a lot of maintenance, bathing and drying would take all day. As soon as we finished, we would let her go outside, she would then roll around in the dirt or mud then stand up with a look of complete satisfaction on her face. The male on the other hand would go outside, do the necessary, come back into the house with a look of arrogance and snobbery all over his face. This made us laugh because when she comes back into the house, the look he gave her was a look of .........'you disgust me, don't come near me'.😂😂😂😂 Ps They both passed away a long time ago but I still miss them.
Yep. I especially love them talking to a huge working dog the way people talk to pampered lap dogs. Nigel has a job - but Nigel is also clearly a well-loved part of the family.
@@evanray8413 You've really gone out of your way to act nasty towards these people on multiple comments! Maybe you should find another pastime :) It's clear that they at least kept him brushed, even if not bathed. His coat would have been significantly more dirty, disgusting, and difficult to deal with had they not put in the effort to brush him. No mats at all! I'm glad they reached out to get him bathed, and hopefully now by seeing the results they pick up this habit as well. But that's certainly no reason to go out of your way to be nasty :)
Considering it was his first groom/bath ever, Nigel seemed to be incredibly patient. It’s obvious he really loves people, and has a ton of willingness to make someone happy.
Can we all just stop and appreciate what she puts her body through for these sweet animals. I can't even imagine. I hope that she's getting her massages and taking care of her arms and hands. She's great.
A golden opportunity for a local spa - they should provide Vanessa with FOC massages once per month - they could video the massage (Vanessa's body would need to be discreetly covered or blurred for the video) but we could hear her moans of relief as an expert masseuse works his/her magic on her exhausted muscles. The spa would get great coverage for their business and Vanessa, who grooms FOC, would get regular, professional FOC TLC. 😂😂
I was talking with an acquaintance about needing to find a new career I can tolerate. Knowing that I'm a dog nut, she brought this channel up out of the blue. My response was a hearty laugh and "There is no chance my body could handle what's required to do that."
I will have several newfies trained as therapy dogs soon. I will be purchasing your products and perhaps one day, my Newfies will visit you for your expertise and care. You are awesome! Thank you!
My friend had a Great Pyrenees when we were younger. My friend and I slept in a tent in his backyard. And his Great Pyrenees stayed up the whole night next to us outside the tent.
Nigel was so sweet. To spend 4 hours with a stranger with hose, shampoos, clippers, nail trimmers, brushes and combs ALL new to him. Hes a fluffy star 🌟
I just lost our dog, Polar, along with my loving man, in a horrific car accident. She was a Great Pyrenees. She survived initially, but when she went to check and smell my boyfriend after help had arrived, she chose to pass along with him when she found he had gone. I lost my family on December 1st. Polar protected our mountain, our cats and chickens, our plants, and of course, she was committed to my honey & I. I miss them and can barely get by without them. There are some videos on my channel of her on our mountain and following along the atv, laying in the water...I miss them so much. Pyrenees are protectors & lovers.
I'm so sorry. I don't know how dogs know, though. We had one dog who was 1 percent of EVERY breed. She stayed with us until I graduated High School. I, still, don't know how she knew!
I’m so sorry that you lost your family. Nothing I can say will make it better. I just want to let you know you’re not alone. You are in my prayers, dear 😢
I have a pyre and this shows how patient they are. He is whining and he could leave at any moment. None of the restrains would hold him if he wanted to leave. They are just awesome dogs!
i've seen too many people selling "courses" so its nice to see someone who actually knows what they are talking about, and is offering something actually important to know that helps benefit both pet owners and their animals.
I thought my favourite part of your videos was seeing the dog at the end, clean and tidy, happily exploring your yard, but the owners immediately becoming baby-talking softies when seeing their dog is really getting up there too.
I was so shocked at the blow dry showing that he wasn’t matted or compacted really at all, he’s just that fluffy! Huge kudos to Nigel’s owners for how well kept his coat actually was 😂
@@evanray8413 *didn’t bathe him. He’d be horribly matted if his owners had never brushed his fur. Quite frankly, the owners probably didn’t have the space or a perceived need to bathe him, as Nigel seems like a pretty big boy, who was taking good care of his cleanliness on his own. The fact that his fur had no matting at all IS a testament to how loved Nigel is. It’s clearly a Herculean task to brush a boy that big.
Poor Vanessa looks like she wants to scream “send help” when she realizes he’s not going to shed any of that and she has to deal with all of that fluff. That dog is made of clouds. 😂❤
Many years ago we adopted/rescued a wonderful Great Pyrenees. His name was Noble. We loved that dog, and the lady we got him from was reluctantly giving him up because she lived on a busy city street, and the fence around her yard was less than 3 feet high. If you know anything about this breed, you know that was no obstacle for Noble We lived in the county, and we had a 6 foot privacy fence around our yard. Unfortunately, we learned after a couple of months that Great Pyrenees love to roam! This breed has a lot of floof, but they also can wiggle through a fairly small opening. Noble would butt his head against the fence until he knocked a couple of slats out. All the neighbors knew who Noble was, and I would get calls while at work that he was going walk about. We managed to rehome him to a friend who lived further outside city limits, and 10 years later we still miss him
God bless you for recognizing the need and finding him a good home! And you are on the nose! These dogs are not known for obedience at all, since they already know their job, so off leash and most fences will not work. I've rescued many and the brother of one of mine lives next door and does the "if I can get my nose under, I can get my 110 lbs through" amazing thing! Mine have always had respect for a fence AND are not left out for extremely long periods. And after 15+ years with no issues my 10 yr old has decided to climb the fence. She now has a tracker so I am alerted immediately and she hasn't gotten farther than 4 houses. (She will go weeks doing nothing and then make breaks 2x in one day! There's no predicting it!)I totally understand missing him but am grateful you put his safety first! ❤
My very first apt. Landlord lived in the basement and his pyraneese was obsessed with me. Silently followed me to a corner store one day and sat politely outside. When I came out was like holy f this beast has no collar or anything and weighs at least 30 more pounds than me. But he followed me home no issue. Another time I went down to pay rent but I tripped down the stairs. Stood up to get pinned against my (hot) landlord's front door yelling Jeffffff! getting humped by his dog. I could see him thru the window laughing so hard he could barely breathe and was stumbling to come save me due to lack of oxygen.
His tap-dancing just helped.. style his paws! I love this video as a pyrenees owner, especially the "buddy, you're too strong for me!" part. I deal with that every day. So lucky they're gentle giants that let us mini humans live in their presence
I have a 5 year old Pyr. I sympathize with the floof.i brush Sophie every 5 days, so much floof! But when she is done I burry my face in her fur, it’s like putting my face in a cloud. So soft. She loves being brushed, because it comes with lots of snuggles and kisses. My groomer loves her!❤
He is one beautiful boy!!! Look at that face! What a sweet face. I have to Great Pyrenees, a boy and a girl! I love them dearly. Such incredible dogs!!!
Our youngest daughter and her husband live with Fluffy, a very loving “in your lap” GP. When we pull up in the driveway and open the car door, he’s 1/2 way in the car and in your lap before you can even get a foot out the door. He and his sister Weinie (mini dachshund) take their guarding duties very seriously!
We lost our Pyr a month ago, his name was Gabriel. Nigel reminds me of him, especially with how fluffy he is and seems to not like having his foot messed with. I miss Gabriel. Great Pyrenees are so beautiful
I'm so saddened to read of your loss. He had you, too. Don't forget that. Think of how many doggies don't have someone to love them. You had Gabriel, you were both fortunate to have the relationship. Take care. Give yourself time. You'll know when another fur baby needs you...
Wow!! A cloud was created and now walks amongst us! .... I hope your arms are ok! That was a long makeover! But, what a beauty! Loved the owners reaction!
I was literally thinking, "What would this cost if it wasn't being done for free?" the entire video! I'm glad she added that! This is wild! I also can't imagine how many 'sanitary trims' he must require. That's a lot of fur!
He looks absolutely fantastic and the owners seem to do a great job of maintaining him at home for his coat to loosen up like that after a bath and he is well loved.❤ Such a beautiful boy.
I'm retired now but use to work in a groom shop in South Florida called Miracle Workers. You are truly a gifted loving Miracle Worker. I've oftened wondered about the owners when picking up. Please share more of these reactions. It was always one of my favorite parts of my job! ❤God bless you.
OMG, only $300 CAD for that extensive of a session????? I will FOREVER hate the dummies that call you "too expensive", that is an INSANELY generous price for such a groom!
didnt she even say "while I do not charge my clients for grooming", implying these people didn't pay anything for the groom at all? honestly that's a steal. even 300 cad is a steal when you consider she spent at least 140 dollars on product. so she charges roughly 40 dollars an hour + product costs. honestly, I'm kind of shocked how good of a price that is.
I absolutely love how wonderful you are with the fur babies you bath and groom. ❤️ I’m amazed that you don’t charge. I bet the people that you groom for think that you’re an angel.
Girl, I salute you. That was a big job! I've never seen a Great Pyrenees that poofy! You need to go see your Nonna tomorrow and have her cook you a yummy meal! So glad to see the owners' reaction; priceless!
Gota hand it to Vanessa she's a true hustler! Pet groomer, TH-camr, business owner, pet products distributor, works with charities, now lecturer! I probably missed some stuff in her portfolio but I have no idea where she finds the time to do all of that! Your amazing! 🤯🐶💪
Absolutely miraculous transformation. Hopefully Nigel will come to love you for how much care you give him & how after your done his humans dote on him.
1. I LOVE that his nickname is 'BoomBoom'. 2. I love how the dogs will look at you when they realize how happy their owners are. They're like 'They're really happy! You're not so bad after all!'
I helped a friend find a new home for their GP a couple of years ago. The new family has 5 children who absolutely adore her. She was a smaller GP and found her forever home. What a gorgeous cloud. Vanessa is an artist!
Nigel is gorgeous after your hard work! I'm so impressed that being a tiny little groomer you handled this amazing beast with courage and love. His Makeover is astonishing! Hugs. 😍
Vanessa, I have to commend not only your outstanding professionalism, but also impossible endurance and patience. This one was one of your most impressive yet.
Agreed!! You might check out her 6 hour (edited, of course) malamute/husky groom on her Girl With the Dogs 2. She said she hurt for a couple days...and she is a strong little thing!
Wow! How to turn a dog into a polar bear by Vanessa. 😲 Nigel is totally stunning.🥰🥰 Good job owners for bringing up a very beautiful, well behaved fluffball. 😍😍 Fantastic job as always Vanessa,miracle worker extraordinaire!! 👍👍👏👏💪💪
Wow Nigel's owners reactions were heartwarming, their precious, sweet boy washed and pampered and all cleaned up by you, they were so thankful for the care you gave to their lovely, fluffy Nigel, thank you for the video ❤
I'm thankful for my Great Pyr Mix, Sasha. Her other half is Border Collie and Springer Spaniel. She's a tricolor farm dog with a black bib that doesn't stain from drool.

I'm so saddened to read of your loss. He had you, too. Don't forget that. Think of how many doggies don't have someone to love them. You had Gabriel, you were both fortunate to have the relationship. Take care. Give yourself time. You'll know when another fur baby needs you...
Oh my word, what an incredible job you did, and what a gorgeous well behaved cloud he was 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
A first bath, with that amount of time taken... Nigel is as fluffy as a cloud both in fur and personality, his parents did a great job with him.
Wow!! A cloud was created and now walks amongst us! .... I hope your arms are ok! That was a long makeover! But, what a beauty! Loved the owners reaction!
What a beautiful ball of fluff
Which one 😂
This dog is absolutely magnificent! 💕I've never seen such luxurious fur before. It's like a white lion! I'm completely smitten!
0:07 where's the dog and how did you manage to get a cloud to form so low to the ground?
They love him so much, it tears me up to see animals so loved. I wish all dogs had a mom and dad like him.
I was literally thinking, "What would this cost if it wasn't being done for free?" the entire video! I'm glad she added that! This is wild! I also can't imagine how many 'sanitary trims' he must require. That's a lot of fur!
He looks absolutely fantastic and the owners seem to do a great job of maintaining him at home for his coat to loosen up like that after a bath and he is well loved.❤ Such a beautiful boy.
These big guys are great to see. The editor/camera operator likes their work. My late Yorkshire Terrier was one hour, in and out.
One of the best I've ever seen! Such a great job for a grand,loved gentlemen!💕💕
I'm retired now but use to work in a groom shop in South Florida called Miracle Workers. You are truly a gifted loving Miracle Worker. I've oftened wondered about the owners when picking up. Please share more of these reactions. It was always one of my favorite parts of my job! ❤God bless you.
Haven't seen Vanessa groom a lion yet, but now I have
Nigel looked more like a polar bear to me, LOL!
A cloud with legs more like 😄
or a polar bear!
.. a royal Polar Yeti ?
It's an albino lion whose mane doesn't know when it should end!
"Why are you so strong" Vanessa asks? Nigel has to be a strong beast to carry all that fur around!!😁😁
He looked so casual about it too 😅
Nigel, in a modest tone: "Models have to be strong."
All this dogs you groomed , they are so bigger than you literally and you doing such a great work alone salute to you ❤
What a beautiful dog with an unbelievable temperament, a credit to his owners.
OMG, only $300 CAD for that extensive of a session????? I will FOREVER hate the dummies that call you "too expensive", that is an INSANELY generous price for such a groom!
She doesn’t charge
Right? the amount of time, water, electricity and consumed products by themselves for this groom must be worth at least twice more
didnt she even say "while I do not charge my clients for grooming", implying these people didn't pay anything for the groom at all?
honestly that's a steal. even 300 cad is a steal when you consider she spent at least 140 dollars on product. so she charges roughly 40 dollars an hour + product costs.
honestly, I'm kind of shocked how good of a price that is.
@@apples_and_oranges For the grooming part itself, yeah, but she still charges for the bath and stuff, she said $300 CAD for this one
@@pixel6173She doesn't charge her clients (the dogs), but their owners need to pay.
He’s a giant, beautiful cloud ❤
Nigel did fantastic! He is so fluffy. ❤
I love how you take care of these gentle giants. You are wonderful!!
I absolutely love how wonderful you are with the fur babies you bath and groom. ❤️ I’m amazed that you don’t charge. I bet the people that you groom for think that you’re an angel.
Girl, I salute you. That was a big job! I've never seen a Great Pyrenees that poofy! You need to go see your Nonna tomorrow and have her cook you a yummy meal! So glad to see the owners' reaction; priceless!
Gota hand it to Vanessa she's a true hustler! Pet groomer, TH-camr, business owner, pet products distributor, works with charities, now lecturer! I probably missed some stuff in her portfolio but I have no idea where she finds the time to do all of that! Your amazing! 🤯🐶💪
The Cutest Cotton ball!!! Oh my!!! I'm laughing so hard at the brushing part.
Nigel is a beautiful dog and lucky guy to have such loving parents!
Absolutely miraculous transformation. Hopefully Nigel will come to love you for how much care you give him & how after your done his humans dote on him.
I'd have changed his name to Cumulonimbus after that makeover
No, no, he's much too sweet to be named after the King of Clouds!
That was a MASSIVE and BEAUTIFUL Land cloud! ❤
God bless this creature
1. I LOVE that his nickname is 'BoomBoom'. 2. I love how the dogs will look at you when they realize how happy their owners are. They're like 'They're really happy! You're not so bad after all!'
I helped a friend find a new home for their GP a couple of years ago. The new family has 5 children who absolutely adore her. She was a smaller GP and found her forever home. What a gorgeous cloud. Vanessa is an artist!
Nigel is gorgeous after your hard work! I'm so impressed that being a tiny little groomer you handled this amazing beast with courage and love. His Makeover is astonishing! Hugs. 😍
He looks so good! What a gentle giant, he did great being his first groom for his age.
This lady is most delightful, sweet and smart host on TH-cam.
OMG!!! THAT WAS IMMPRESSIVE!!! YOU ARE JUST SO GIFTED WITH THOSE tiny LITTLE HANDS OF YOURS! AWESOME JOB!!! YOU GO GIRL!!
Pyreneans are such sweet dogs when raised with a family. You did a great job today - Nigel is such a big strong dog, but so good natured.
Sweetheart and Poom Poom. Nigel really has his parents right where he wants them!!!
Vanessa, I have to commend not only your outstanding professionalism, but also impossible endurance and patience. This one was one of your most impressive yet.
Agreed!! You might check out her 6 hour (edited, of course) malamute/husky groom on her Girl With the Dogs 2. She said she hurt for a couple days...and she is a strong little thing!
Beautiful results! I have a Great Pyr too and the fur is a job, but they are almost endlessly patient. Total sweethearts.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! You do such a beautiful job with the animals you groom.
What a nice breed! A pillow for a dog. You are so well behaved Nigel!
Wow! How to turn a dog into a polar bear by Vanessa. 😲 Nigel is totally stunning.🥰🥰 Good job owners for bringing up a very beautiful, well behaved fluffball. 😍😍 Fantastic job as always Vanessa,miracle worker extraordinaire!! 👍👍👏👏💪💪
Vanessa, you did a wonderful groom for Nigel! ❤ He looks just spectacular! The before and after are just WOW!
Wow Nigel's owners reactions were heartwarming, their precious, sweet boy washed and pampered and all cleaned up by you, they were so thankful for the care you gave to their lovely, fluffy Nigel, thank you for the video ❤
I love the reaction of his humans! Beautiful grooming job!
He is gorgeous! I will be honest. I started crying at his people's reaction. He is so obviously loved
The owners should have given her something for all her hard work. I would have just because of how wonderful a job she did on him!!!!
I've often wondered if the owners who can will tip. It's none of our business if they do but this seems like the perfect time for a gratuity.
Or perhaps Vanessa asks them to donate the tip to an animal rescue... She seems the sort of person who would do that.
Wow that is one Sherman tank of a dog.😳 How beautiful you made him look though, and he was really such a good boy for his first time 💖
I'm thankful for my Great Pyr Mix, Sasha. Her other half is Border Collie and Springer Spaniel. She's a tricolor farm dog with a black bib that doesn't stain from drool.
You are such a Blessing! Thank you for being awesome
I love Great Pyrenees they are the best tempered dogs. They love people and love their flocks. He's a beauty boy.
