Hi Vanessa. My name is Victoria and I am from Poland. I am currently a beginner groomer with my own small grooming salon. I've been watching both your channels (and subscribing) for many years, even before I chose this profession. I previously wanted to work as a veterinary technician, but that has changed. I want to thank you because you probably don't realize how much you have taught me. Although I have completed a basic grooming course, there are things that only you have taught me. Today, for example, I use your tricks on aggressive dogs, and I'm also going to buy some of the things you use on cats. I watch each of your videos carefully and notice even the little things that can be useful to me. Many of them make my job easier and shorten it by up to 30 minutes. I still have fears about clipping black claws, fortunately there has been no bloodshed because I try to be careful, but your one mention of them has calmed me down a bit and my hands don't shake so much anymore, but I still have that thought in the back of my mind that I will cut too short and hurt my dog. That's why I want to thank you for each of your videos, because each of them is valuable. I hope the day will come when one of my dreams will come true and I will meet you to thank you.
My American Akita is 11. He has had issues with other dogs, but is so gentle and sweet with our family. I have a never been worried about him hurting any of us ever. ❤

It's really great that you emphasize the importance of genetics. Too many people go "there are no bad breeds (true), only bad training", but there are inborn behaviour tendencies and owners need to be aware. I walk an English setter: he has never been a hunting dog, but when he sees a large bird, he instinctively points (goes into the gundog signal pose with one paw up). I also know lots of collies that instinctively herd (children if there are no sheep around!).
Exactly. I had a mix of American Akita/Chow and he was the canine equivalent of a serial killer. He attacked a Rottweiler as a puppy (the rotty left a hole in his head you could put a ✏️ in. But the best guard dog ever! ❤
My parents got a new frenchie puppy 3 years ago. Bred for a better physical health by a reputable breeder who has worked tirelessly to improve frenchie lines. Great temper, very social and while a bit stupid, we fell in love with him. We'd take him to the dog park frequently where he played with larger, older dogs and he never met a single mean dog or experienced any trauma. He also frequently had minor play dates with his siblings and half-siblings (same father). Cut to him reaching sexual maturity and suddenly all of his good socialisation fell through and he became same-sex aggressive, especially with younger sexually mature males. I still take him to the dog park and I take him off-leash in other safe places but I am 120% vigilant and I always, always get him back on leash if I spot another dog regardless of its size or breed. We're slowly working on the same-sex aggression in a way that works for Oscar. Apparently (!) his dad is also very same-sex aggressive and generally very territorial and I guess that just happened to surface in Oscar and another of his half-brothers that we saw on a regular basis. The brother has stopped being social with other dogs entirely (the owners honestly should never have had a dog but that's none of my business) and it's only because if my own determination to give our frenchie as many positive new encounters with intact males that Oscar hasn't regressed even further. **TLDR genetics matter in more than one way. You *need* to ask your breeder about both parents and you *need* to train your dog as soon as you get it. Get it desensitized and socialized. There are no bad dogs, just misunderstood situations and needs.** Oscar is never going to carry on his line, despite his healthy physique and otherwise great temperament just for that tiny flaw. It's not a loss to me or my parents and Oscar lives a fulfilling life both on and off-leash, but the possibility is always there and I am alert and hypervigilant.
While that's true, there are also retrievers that don't like playing fetch and collies that don't like herding. Breed can give you an idea of behavior characteristics a dog may be more likely to have, but people need to be ready to work with and properly train the dog they get. I honestly feel like people not properly training and socializing their dogs in general (and as appropriate to the particular dog) is more of a problem than breed. That said, I also think there are breeds like Rotties that have gotten too popular at times, not because they're bad but because they're big, strong, smart dogs that can be destructive if they get bored. Note, that I love Rotties and they can be great dogs, but they need training.
One of my friends owns a Border Collie and they ended up buying a bunch of geese so the Collie would have something to herd, which he did, all day long, every day. I think the geese they have are pretty much the fastest running geese in the world, which is going to be cool if goose racing ever becomes a thing/
You’ve never had a problem with one because you are educated, respectful, and mindful of behavioral tics. You respected him and gave him loads of treats, so he knew you weren’t a threat and treated you accordingly.
I had an American Akita, unfortunately he passed 2 years ago during the initial days of invasion towards Kyiv and the massive air raids in our area, he was already weak due to a recent surgery and just couldn't handle the stress of jets and explosions. I will always remember him as the sweetest dog breed I've ever owned, they are extremely calm but affectionate and also independent. There is something heartwarming when this sort of huge and dangerous creature is your best friend always asking for a belly rub. They can be dangerous due to the sheer size, but mostly because they don't bother to bark or in any way show aggression like other dogs - no growl, no display of teeth, nothing. The only time I've seen him act defensive is when on walk a small dog did the small dog thing and tried to bite my big boy, after which the small one disappeared between his jaws almost completely. That was thankfully just a warning and the poor thing wasn't hurt, but I never let small unsocialised dogs close to him after. He also never liked water and would avoid puddles or mud (and our other dog is a golden, just bathing in mud all the time). It's impossible to get that thick fur wet, even when you try really hard, but on the up side they don't stink as much as other dogs so there's little need for a bath in the first place.
Honestly, considering this was his first bath, he handled this extremely well; very courageous and forgiving. It's clear that he's using his brains to think through the process, and making good decisions.
I'm a proud father of an Akita myself and he's a very gentle boy. Likes to take over the bed like he's king of the hill and loves to play with his ball, or donut. Adopted him a few months after he was born. Poor thing was separated from his sister. It's been 3 or 4 years now since then. Does well with other dogs, children and even people. He..only really gets into a squabble when the opposing animal attacks first, which is a clear cut case of self-defense. He'll jump up on kids and lick'em, but he doesn't realize his own strength, so sometimes I gotta remind him that some other lifeforms aren't as strong as he is, whether big or small. He's on alert when he hears other sounds from outside or other people he doesn't recognize. Other than that, he's truly a really amazing dog. His potential is sky high into the clouds, so I called him Nymbus when he was a puppy.
I have a question. I had an Akita and he had something I've never another dog have. He was catlike. Meaning, you know when you pick up a dog, they are stiff. When you push against their body, they offer resistance. But not my akita. Picking him up was like picking up a cat. That's the only dog I saw this in.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE a responsible dog owner. Making sure that there will not be other dogs when bringing in a dog that does not play well with others is just one of the many ways to be responsible - keep your pup safe, keep other pups safe and minimize liability. GOOD OWNER - BEAUTIFUL PUP
right? when I got my female GSD during Covid I made the mistake of not socializing her with other dogs. She gets along with my other dogs and all humans but new dogs are a big no, she is very reactive and scares me that I cant control her or read her mood with other dogs so, sadly, she doesnt go outside for walks. I moved to a bigger house with a huge backyard just for her. I am aware of my mistake so my reactive dog stays always in new environments with her sibling doggies. I can't put other dogs or her or myself in danger. I wish more owners were like this.
@@ManateeMentality the dog was well behaved, with a beautiful non matted coat and freshly trimmed nails, that sounds responsible enough for me but I guess you're so perfect can keep bitching about the smallest details
I sure wouldn’t want to walk into his home territory though. I’ve always thought they are gorgeous despite that. And he decided the rubs and blow dryer could be a good thing
I love how calm and supportive you are when working with the dog. Rather than getting frustrated, you showed him what would happen every step of the way and minimized his anxiety.
I had 2 Akitas that I walked off lease alone at night in one of the worse neighborhoods in NJ. Nobody bothered us and they obeyed commands flawlessly. No I can’t take credit for their training, I got them that way. They were great dogs still I miss them, even though that was 40 years ago.
I believe it! My male is 2, he’s my first Akita. I could have done much better training him in hindsight, yet he still impresses me almost daily with his overall behavior, diligence, and discipline.
We dog owners repeat the mistake into believing one's dog will not bite another animal or person. Trust me. It will be irrelevant how much love the dog has for you - and the strength of your bond - we still have to respect other people and leash one's "best behaved" dog. Some people may have $10,000 in the bank to spare in case your well-behaved dog harms another dog or human. However, the potential for harm to you, the owner, is always there too. In summary, please leash you dogs unless they are roaming in your property as small as a patio or backyard.
To Khans Parents: you have an absolutely beautiful, wonderful boy there. I absolutely adore Akita’s. They are fantastic dogs when they are well bred, and trained and highly socialized. Kahn is a credit to his breed and your care.
The implications being they bought a filthy dog, even if they got it a year ago, and/or they never bothered asking why it stank so much when they did get it, or asked when was bathed last? Really? Two years is two years, I fail to see your point. Even a month, two months tops is too long without a bath, especially for an outside animal. Besides there was NO mention of multiple owners, none. Two years and a nasty animal is two years and a nasty animal, I don't see what or when ownership changed has to do with the condition of the dog, other than identifying the bad pet owner. I don't think you thought through your statement. I did and I stand by mine, there is NO, none, nada, nyet, excuses for an animal in that condition, new or used.🤨 I was pre-veterinarian, I've owned, trained, and tended so many animals, mostly large, how many have you cared for? @@rekkisomo
Khan is just absolutely gorgeous. Floofy, sweet face, good natured, yet unbelievably intimidating. I have to admit that even I, a dog loving person who tries to say hello to any dog I meet (with permission, of course), would pause and hesitate near this one. You just don't know about this breed.
A co-worker had one, from a good breeder, since 9 weeks old. He was a big, sweet bear of a dog. Their friend had him (3 years old) for 2 weeks while they were on vacation. He got out, ended up at the dog shelter. The shelter would not allow the friend to take him out of the shelter, even though owners were contacted & verified the information. Their sweet boy got attacked & merely protected himself & the shelter volunteer that was walking him. So he got labeled as a 'Dangerous Dog.' They had to send him to a farm 'Santuary' as an unadoptable animal or have him euthanized. It took them 2 years and around $8,000 in legal fees to get him back. It is pretty bad when the shelter volunteer has to go to court for the dog (HE PROTECTED ME!!!) against the shelter.
With all due respect.... you.... are the one that doesn't know about this breed. You don't approach this breed On your own. Let the owners of the dog introduce you. You need to approach it with common sense and intelligence. This dog's only mission in life is to protect its family. It takes all its cues from the family. Let the family approach you with the dog and you will have a friend for life. Sometimes it is the lack of intelligence on the part of the human that is the problem and not the breed of the dog.
@@grahamstuart9164 Say what you will. However, I know exactly how to approach and handle animals. I am in a line of work that grants me access to dozens of dogs every week, some known to me and some unknown, and I've never had a problem with any of them. I have interacted with Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls and other "dangerous" breeds. I have had a closed up rescue dog go from cowering behind it's owner to running up, tail wagging and excited to see me, within 6 months time. That's because I gave her the time and patience to get to know me without putting any pressure on her. I know when it's safe to approach and when to stand back. So to assume that there is any lack of intelligence on my part is actually not respectful at all. Assumption is never a good thing. Thank you for your time.
I rescued a beautiful, female Akita that was dumped after she had puppies, I immediately went down to adopt her. I had her for seven years amazing beautiful and smart dog.
My family took in a beautiful American Akita when I was growing up, after her previous owners decided they couldn't handle the size anymore. Despite me not getting her until she was ~5, she immediately took to our home. I have never seen a dog more fearless (she literally wouldn't even let cars pull into the driveway; she stood directly in front of their vehicles so they couldn't move an inch more, and she kept them there until I told her it was ok to let them in) or more protective. She'd fire off "warning shots" to people that moved around my younger brother and I too quickly, where she'd end up with her mouth around their hands. There was never any pressure at all, she just wanted to let them know that she was protecting us and to never try that again. She always stood next to me, facing whoever I was talking to; she was calm as calm could be, but there was never any doubt about exactly what what she was doing there. I miss that dog something fierce. We bred her with our Newfie shepherd, and ended up with some of the best, most fun, and most well behaved dogs ever. I loved every single one of them, and they were all wildly different from each other. But I've always wanted another American Akita since her. They're beautiful, fearsome, absolutely fearless, and some of the most loving dogs imaginable under the right circumstances. They're like a squat bear that loves family time.
I had a dog like this, it was a lot of work, ten years together, every vet visit had to be the end of the day with no dogs, guests couldn’t just drop by and walk in, walking around the pet store or tractor supply was wayyyy out of the question, other dogs not a chance, it was a big change but let me say this, i have never felt the loyalty that dog gave me, the love the dog gave me, that dog gave me every ounce of himself, and i’d sell everything i own right now to do it again, to see him again, he was my soulmate. Most ppl go for designer breeds and thats fine but i promise you there is a dog or breed of dog that is just for you. If you ever do anything with certainty in your life make it that, find that dog, your dog.
I said goodbye to my fierce protector a month ago and I'm still stricken with grief. He was my protector, my confidante, and most importantly, my buddy. Every time I pass by his ashes I say hi and give him a pat, just like I always used to do. I miss him every day. I can't wait to see him again on the other side.
why you want loyalty in this current society and circumstances? loyalty is good when you are at war, when youa re in a constant fight for survival, why you need a guardian who can kill when you work 9 to five and watch tv ?
I grew up with an almost completely golden blond Akita Inu named Old. No.7, after my dad’s drink of choice. My parents got him the same week I was born and I grew up with him as “my” dog. Seven was about half Kahn’s size but definitely lived up to the family/territory protector role as well as the “too smart for his own good” bit. He figured out how to open the gate latch on his inner doggy yard then jumped onto the trash cans and climb them up and over the big outer fence to freedom. Once he was off our property, he metamorphosed from guard dog to neighborhood social butterfly. We’d get calls from friends on the other side of the neighborhood saying they’d seen him trotting down the sidewalk, making friends and playing with neighbor kids. When my dad put an unlocked padlock in the latch, he almost immediately figured out to pop it out. When my dad locked the padlock, Seven went straight Mission Impossible and figured out how to wedge himself between two bushes and use the chain link fence as paw holds to climb the bushes up and over the fence then proceeded on to the trash can steps.
I know exactly what you mean. Our dog Chance was master Houdini. Climbed a 6ft chainlink fence and got into a place that was shutdown to the public some kind of government facility. They let me go in and get him because apparently many people had already tried to catch him. He was very mischievous and always getting out of the yard to go visit the neighborhood dogs. Same thing people would call and say by name Chance was here visiting earlier but he has gone now. We had the name and address of every dog in a 20 mile radius from our house. 😅😂❤ he was quite the character! Thank you for your story. Old #7 and Chance would have likely been best friends
yeah you are a spot on right! I doubt she'd have this dog on her show if it was a badly raised dog. In fact I believe almost all of the dogs she has on her show have great owners.
@hello_I_am_gay you are 100% correct. I remember reading people who had dogs before accidently pick dog that had wolf mix and their lives got turned upside down trying to figure out their dog (they did later and it all worked out well).
@karlwithak.Damn, one would think that the way you put it, you couldn't understand a single word that was said or written to you nor could you understand the point that was being conveyed in either instance. Who cares? You're watching a RUclips video and you're in the comment section. Every engagement is not going to be presented like an English thesis. To expect anything else means you're going to have a bad time and voicing such misdeeds is only going to make you look like the biggest cunt.
*American Akita. Unpopular opinion, but Americans took a perfectly good breed and by trying to make them bigger (because Muuuuricaaaaa), they messed them up.
@@RuLeZ1988just because he’s behaving doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous. So you know how strong a 100lb plus dog is. But because an animal is calm and cute doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of danger. A hibernating brown bear is absolutely adorable, but see what happens if you wake it up😂.
@@disturbedpyro4511 It is a huge dog, but generally this type of dog is not aggressive. For example a bull terrier or bulldog tends to be far more aggressive on average and therefor is more dangerous.
I'm on my second Akita, and I can't say enough good things about this dog breed. Like most dogs, they need attention, training and patience. Both are excellent guard dogs, and extremely smart with a very helpful attitude. I do recommend them as house dogs as they do become part of the family and protect everyone inside.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita. He had just been letting it lick him on the face when it suddenly decided to attack. Lovely breed of dog.
@hello_I_am_gay Only the most dangerous of the dangerous breeds are like that, i.e. they give no warning at all before they bite. Apparently Akitas are even more dangerous than I'd thought.
I had 2 akitas for 12 years brother and sister my female was very social and could be around other dogs even by herself my male was not so much he had a natural instinct to be the dominate one every time
I know why you are saying it but I think it's a dangerous thing to recommend a dog like an Akita as a house dog. To people like you who obviously have learnt about the breed and put in the attention and training this recommendation is fine but there are too many people who buy a dog as a status symbol buy have no idea what they are buying. They don't have the room, the patience, the time, the money and don't care enough to have a dog like this. Instead they strut around with a ticking time bomb on a leash! It's not only Akitas but the big shepherd dogs like the Caucasian shepherd, the Cane Corso etc. They're all becoming fashionable now the pitbull terrier and XL Bullies are being banned all over the world. Soon the backyard breeders will be selling all of these beautiful big dogs and they'll be the dogs everyone is afraid of- until they too are banned. Don't recommend them - keep them quiet so that responsible owners can continue to love and enjoy them.
That dog was so huge, I kept worrying why you didn't have a muzzle on him . But it turns out he's very docile. I can't believe how calm he was for his first dog groom. Just Wow !! . The dog whisperer. 🐕🐶
Good with humans bad with other dogs. I've known dogs like this. It happens when they're socialized with humans growing up but rarely with other dogs. He a very a very good boy and racist.. lol. Or species-ist.
Our family had an american akita that lived to be almost 13 years old. Unfortunately he died from a type of cancer. He was the most absolute loving dog ever !!! Loyal, brave, loving, caring...he was an absolute sweetheart.... 3 years have passed and I still think about our good ol' days. He passed away 1 and a half years after my father had passed and for that period of time we could see that something was missing from him (and it wasn't related to him being sick..) Also, this is a breed that will die for his family. Like no joke, they will give their lives for their loved ones
I wonder if they grew up with livestock and their owners consistently, if they would be good livestock dogs up where bears are. I can't imagine a dog successfully fighting off a bear. Would they be trustworthy if raised with sheep or goats or in the house with a small dog breed or cat?
@@RepentfollowJesus well....mine weighed 60 kilograms. Seeing that an average bear weight is somewhere 100+ kg (up to 6-800-1000 kg) I have no doubt that they would have no difficulty in making a bear leave. If they want a fight the Akita will never back down I can tell ou that. Win the fight ? well that is a different answer and it depends on the size of the bear that they encounter. And I also do believe that they could make proper livestock dogs if sufficiently trained in that direction. Just keep in mind that they usually attach 110% to 1 person in family who would be their ultimate master.
I grew up with an Akita mix - they are stellar dogs, and require a lot of responsive and kind guidance. One of the trickier aspects of the breed is that they don't display body language as overtly as other breeds, which makes it easy for people who don't know dogs to make a mistake worthy of a correction - and a 100lb dog's correction can be big and scary. These dogs are SO loyal and loving, they will straight up be your best friend. I absolutely love the breed, but they are not for an inexperienced dog owner!
I have a German shepherd/akita mix, it wasn't a planned litter, but that's besides the point. We did early training, he's excellently well behaved, and introduced him to other dogs and strangers early on. He slowly became more and more protective and weary of other dogs and people. He is extremely lovable and a joy to people who he already trusts, but he has met his limit on people he trusts. We had to come to accept that he wont be able to make friends with other dogs, or meet new people. He is doing what his genes tell him, protect his home and his family. So, when she said they may not like others, there is nothing but truth to that statement. If you are patient and understand the dogs nature, you could end up with the most loyal, loving companion.
Handsome boy. My family recently lost our ol boy Kongo a few months ago. He was 11 1/2 yrs old. Was the nicest and friendliest boy ever. Only time he got aggressive was when certain types of people came around. I do miss him dearly.
Yeah. I had an Akita myself. He was just a big floof who loved being around people lol 🤣🤣. He was a beautiful floof he passed after 14 years of fulfilling life
I've had 3 American Akitas. They were all incredible. Alerted when strange noises or vehicles came around. Quickly picked up on the sounds of the neighborhood. In fact they did that so well my neighbors also loved having them around.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita just because he was letting it lick him on his face. He had been with the dog numerous times before that. It just suddenly did that with zero warning.
@@thewholetruth5473Do you think perhaps your friend shouldn't have been letting the dog lick his face? What would possess you to allow a dog like an Akita lick your face? As they always say, it's generally the human not respecting the breed that enables these types of awful events to occur. Was the dog put to sleep?
@@HWarner Well I think no person should ever let any dog lick their face. People have acquired flesh-eating bacterial infections from dog licks on their face. Anyway, not every person knows about dog breeds, so he had no idea the dog was capable of that. Regardless of whether he was being stupid or not, my point is that a non-dangerous dog doesn't rip a person's chin off just because he let the dog lick his face. Akitas are beautiful and are probably a great breed for certain people. They should only ever be owned by men in my opinion though.
@@HWarner Well this was about 25 years ago and the dog was not put to sleep then because at the time the bite victim was kind of dating the female dog owner. So he didn't want to do anything to her dog. The dog might have been put to sleep though or shot by one of the next people it probably bit.
My brother recently got mauled by an Akita that his long time best friend (30+ years) and wife had. Broke his fingers and went for his throat in about half a second but he turned his head and got his face fucked up. Not saying they're bad owners. My brother loves dogs and has had many "dangerous" breeds like Rots. (Though our Rough Collie was never fixed and I grew up with him and he was a terrible dog and my parents were terrible owners) My brother is a decent bit older than me and has been friends with that family for 30+ years. It's good if dog owners know their breed, know their temperment, know their triggers, know if they can socialize. My brother has his face and hand fucked up for life and was lucky that he turned his head from his good friend's dog. A lot of working dogs have a purpose (including our very bad rough collie I grew up with) and it's just not a good idea to have them in urban situations. It's not specifically the dog's fault and it's easy for a new owner to get in over their head or not understand socialization because a dog is good at home.
My husband was almost killed by an akita, our own akita. We had him since he was a wee baby and he was the sweetest boy in the whole wide world. Then one day he just attacked my husband out of nowhere. Tore up his face and throat, somehow missed the carotid. Tore his artery in his bicep and completely mangled his leg, he had to get plastic surgery and get muscle and tissue replaced. Turned out our dog had an infection in his brain, he had shown absolutely no signs of anything until that moment and I thank God that it wasn't one of our toddlers. I miss my dog so much.
Omg… that is terrible! 😮 Never mind the dog - how is your poor husband?! That is absolutely horrible! It sounds like your husband is lucky to be alive! I’m sure that he’ll have mental, emotional and physical scars for life. 😬
Akitas really are very intelligent. I once knew a lady who had one and he was basically a giant teddy bear, but very smart. Once I saw him play a trick on her by pretending to be asleep and as she walked by him he put out a paw to try to trip her. That kind of abstract thinking capacity -- thinking into the future -- is beyond most breeds.
Akita are amazing dogs for their owners. Anyone else is basically a chew toys. I've never met one I trusted. They are very very temperamental. Admittedly I saw them as a Veterinary Professional so they were never in ideal circumstances.
So, to say it might be a cool idea to take your puppy Akida to a grooming salon just to hang out as they age to keep them socialized? Maybe like a 3 times a week thing? As puppies they would be introduced to other dogs then and learn to be around people. Something a solon owner would have to agree to I guess.
You did a fantastic job! The patience that you showed clearly made the difference in the dog getting a bath! If you think that it's safe, where are you located,for others that would li,e your services! Thanks also for the history lesson of that breed!
Unfortunately i had a friend who owned an Akita but never taught him who was top dog so the dog decided he was the boss. He bit several ppl , including his owners mother so the owner put him down. I was so sad to hear this because it was unnecessary. He knew nothing of what kind of dog Willie was, nor did he try to learn how to properly control him. Willie was just doing what Akitas do. When his mom got bit it was her fault, really. She came around the side if the dog and him not knowing her, bit her. It wasn't a bad bite by any means, just a "hey, dont touch me " bite. I asked the owner why he just didn't muzzle Willie and he said he thought it was cruel...so he put his dog down....I never had any problems with Willie, he was a gorgeous dog and I miss him!
Wow, what a beautiful dog. Some dogs love getting groomed, I guess he's one of them. One of my Yorkies loved getting groomed, as soon as she saw me grab the blow dryer and clippers, she already knew what was about to happen lol. She would run to the kitchen and was ready to go. But my other Yorkie, omg she hated getting groomed lol she would just lie there, was not cooperative at all. But it's ok, I loved them both. Rip, Lilly and Lana 😇 love and miss you girls. This video Def brought back memories.
I have had Staffordshire Bull terriers all my life a really great family dog especially around children BUT it is ESSENTIAL they are socialised day 1 if this is done they are confident and friendly they are also tough mine aged 6 months was hit by a petrol rc car a moron teased him with severely broke his front leg to this day that little fella got my respect... not even a yelp just kept his leg up! he has had understandable issue with rc cars since and will destroy them on sight! they are naturally neurotic so hitting them shouting etc really should always be avoided especially around the head as this is likely to make it VERY unstable there have been many attacks over the years involving these dogs but usually it is down to a dysfunctional moron who wants to use it as a threat! never seen a guard trained or well trained one even show aggression!! as with most things today BOTHER TO READ as cute as any dog is it IS a WOLF and you need to remember that! breeds can be VERY specific in how they behave so do NOT buy a border Collie unless you are working with cattle or have land it will go MAD in an apartment where a Japanese xin will be out of breath at the end of the hall! have a great day and thanks for sharing!
My Sam was an American akita, possibly with some GSD in him. He was 1 year old from a shelter and had already been adopted 3 times before us. I loved him to pieces, and i miss him loads even 5 years after he's gone. The problem people have with these dogs is theyre dominant. They can be really difficult to live with if they don't respect you. Sam was just like a stubborn teenager, he'd walked all over every human in his life before us, that's why he kept getting sent back. That kind of dog, it took me a long time to realise you have to shower them with love but you have to stick the boot in sometimes too. They're big, they're stubborn, they're tough. They have to know youre a bigger force than them or they'll never listen to you. I lost my temper with him big time once and laid hands on him. Im not proud of it but it fixed him. He didnt think that humans were capable of anything till then. His previous owners all gave up and let him down. We kept him and eventually found a way make him behave. If we hadnt done that he would've died in that shelter, instead he had a full life, didnt need a leash. RIP buddy, love you.
All American Akita have GSD in them, it's how they were made. If you go back to post-WWII after they were introduced to the US (in Japanese form), they were crossbred with GSD and other dogs to produce the amazing animal we have today.
As a former akita owner of a boy called chico, they are a very friendly breed and have alot of strength (they have more muscle density than other dog breeds)😊 😊
I had a female Akita that looked just like this one,used to wash her in my bathtub and when she would SHAKE the entire bathroom (ceiling too!) would be covered in soap & water.🧼💦
I had an akita was japanese inu of 55kg and never had a problem my freinds also had his siblings and all of them were perfect companions any dog can be vicious its about training and keeping there very intelligent brains active and occupied very intelligent dogs
"of course nurture can and does play a role in temperament but it's very important to understand that so does genetics " I wish all the super loud 'protectors' of dangerous dog breeds would bloody understand this. You can be the best owner to your [insert breed here] say pitbull, it is still a dangerous dog!!!
My first Akita was named Khan, only he was a brindle. When my daughter was born, he instantly became her protector, and never left her side. She was HIS baby. He was so gentle and careful with her. Too bad he passed decades ago.
He looks like it was a most enjoyable experience; so sweet and loveable! Around treat No. 5 he looked like, "Hmmmm, this is niiiiiiice! She's a good human and this feels so gooooood!" 🥰🥰💖💖🤣🤣
He is just majestic, what a handsome boy he is….i swear you have the best job, my only problem is I’d fall in love with every animal that walked in…especially dogs with talkative eyes!
I owned one of these 15 years before he left me and I miss him so much. It’s unbelievable. He was the softest and most gentle friend I’ve ever known dogs are not dangerous. The owners are
He is an American Akita and he is not dangerous. I do have 2 akitas and they are not dangerous at all !!! They are very kind dogs. As every dog they can be dangerous if treated badly

He’s being good for never having had a bath before. 2 yrs without a bath.✌🏽💚

Can’t understand why tf someone would wait 2 years, seems crazy to me.

Hi Vanessa. My name is Victoria and I am from Poland. I am currently a beginner groomer with my own small grooming salon. I've been watching both your channels (and subscribing) for many years, even before I chose this profession. I previously wanted to work as a veterinary technician, but that has changed. I want to thank you because you probably don't realize how much you have taught me. Although I have completed a basic grooming course, there are things that only you have taught me. Today, for example, I use your tricks on aggressive dogs, and I'm also going to buy some of the things you use on cats. I watch each of your videos carefully and notice even the little things that can be useful to me. Many of them make my job easier and shorten it by up to 30 minutes. I still have fears about clipping black claws, fortunately there has been no bloodshed because I try to be careful, but your one mention of them has calmed me down a bit and my hands don't shake so much anymore, but I still have that thought in the back of my mind that I will cut too short and hurt my dog. That's why I want to thank you for each of your videos, because each of them is valuable. I hope the day will come when one of my dreams will come true and I will meet you to thank you.
I'm not Vanessa, but good luck Victoria :) it's so nice to see people finding mentors :)
I wish you good luck in your ventures :3
Vanessa also has classes - that should be of interest to you! Good fortunes to you in your career
Good luck!! ❤
Good luck in your salon, hope you get a lot of clients.🎉
My American Akita is 11. He has had issues with other dogs, but is so gentle and sweet with our family. I have a never been worried about him hurting any of us ever. ❤

It's really great that you emphasize the importance of genetics. Too many people go "there are no bad breeds (true), only bad training", but there are inborn behaviour tendencies and owners need to be aware. I walk an English setter: he has never been a hunting dog, but when he sees a large bird, he instinctively points (goes into the gundog signal pose with one paw up). I also know lots of collies that instinctively herd (children if there are no sheep around!).
Exactly. I had a mix of American Akita/Chow and he was the canine equivalent of a serial killer. He attacked a Rottweiler as a puppy (the rotty left a hole in his head you could put a ✏️ in. But the best guard dog ever! ❤
My parents got a new frenchie puppy 3 years ago. Bred for a better physical health by a reputable breeder who has worked tirelessly to improve frenchie lines. Great temper, very social and while a bit stupid, we fell in love with him. We'd take him to the dog park frequently where he played with larger, older dogs and he never met a single mean dog or experienced any trauma. He also frequently had minor play dates with his siblings and half-siblings (same father).
Cut to him reaching sexual maturity and suddenly all of his good socialisation fell through and he became same-sex aggressive, especially with younger sexually mature males.
I still take him to the dog park and I take him off-leash in other safe places but I am 120% vigilant and I always, always get him back on leash if I spot another dog regardless of its size or breed. We're slowly working on the same-sex aggression in a way that works for Oscar.
Apparently (!) his dad is also very same-sex aggressive and generally very territorial and I guess that just happened to surface in Oscar and another of his half-brothers that we saw on a regular basis. The brother has stopped being social with other dogs entirely (the owners honestly should never have had a dog but that's none of my business) and it's only because if my own determination to give our frenchie as many positive new encounters with intact males that Oscar hasn't regressed even further.
**TLDR genetics matter in more than one way. You *need* to ask your breeder about both parents and you *need* to train your dog as soon as you get it. Get it desensitized and socialized. There are no bad dogs, just misunderstood situations and needs.**
Oscar is never going to carry on his line, despite his healthy physique and otherwise great temperament just for that tiny flaw. It's not a loss to me or my parents and Oscar lives a fulfilling life both on and off-leash, but the possibility is always there and I am alert and hypervigilant.
While that's true, there are also retrievers that don't like playing fetch and collies that don't like herding. Breed can give you an idea of behavior characteristics a dog may be more likely to have, but people need to be ready to work with and properly train the dog they get. I honestly feel like people not properly training and socializing their dogs in general (and as appropriate to the particular dog) is more of a problem than breed. That said, I also think there are breeds like Rotties that have gotten too popular at times, not because they're bad but because they're big, strong, smart dogs that can be destructive if they get bored. Note, that I love Rotties and they can be great dogs, but they need training.
One of my friends owns a Border Collie and they ended up buying a bunch of geese so the Collie would have something to herd, which he did, all day long, every day. I think the geese they have are pretty much the fastest running geese in the world, which is going to be cool if goose racing ever becomes a thing/
@@jeffmead4670Gee. Sounds like a wonderful life for the geese... 🙄
You’ve never had a problem with one because you are educated, respectful, and mindful of behavioral tics. You respected him and gave him loads of treats, so he knew you weren’t a threat and treated you accordingly.
You really think that matters, it's an ANIMAL!!!
@@kimbermichelle3922so are you.
@@kimbermichelle3922 Yes. A living thing with a desire to survive is going to respond better when they don't threatened.

Uh, yes? Do you think animals are completely unpredictable or something?
@@kimbermichelle3922 So are humans. What's your point?
I had an American Akita, unfortunately he passed 2 years ago during the initial days of invasion towards Kyiv and the massive air raids in our area, he was already weak due to a recent surgery and just couldn't handle the stress of jets and explosions.
I will always remember him as the sweetest dog breed I've ever owned, they are extremely calm but affectionate and also independent. There is something heartwarming when this sort of huge and dangerous creature is your best friend always asking for a belly rub. They can be dangerous due to the sheer size, but mostly because they don't bother to bark or in any way show aggression like other dogs - no growl, no display of teeth, nothing. The only time I've seen him act defensive is when on walk a small dog did the small dog thing and tried to bite my big boy, after which the small one disappeared between his jaws almost completely. That was thankfully just a warning and the poor thing wasn't hurt, but I never let small unsocialised dogs close to him after.
He also never liked water and would avoid puddles or mud (and our other dog is a golden, just bathing in mud all the time). It's impossible to get that thick fur wet, even when you try really hard, but on the up side they don't stink as much as other dogs so there's little need for a bath in the first place.
I am very sorry about your loss.
What a lovely dog.
American Akita is the breed that originated as an typical american experiment to 'make sth better'. Should have left Japanese Akita alone.
that is so horrific! I am so sorry about your Akita, the poor thing. :(
how he died?....
He's disarmingly beautiful.
"I don't want to force him"
Khan, "Yeah, good luck with that".
Khan: "It's a good thing you don't want to because you darn well CAN'T!"
GWTD: perfect combination of expertise, firmness, and sweet talking. Kudos to Khan and his owners. He looked very happy in the cold winter air.
@@t23001 Don't forget treats!
Ha Ha 🤣 brilliant ❤️
Honestly, considering this was his first bath, he handled this extremely well; very courageous and forgiving. It's clear that he's using his brains to think through the process, and making good decisions.
better than most husky xD
I'm a proud father of an Akita myself and he's a very gentle boy. Likes to take over the bed like he's king of the hill and loves to play with his ball, or donut. Adopted him a few months after he was born. Poor thing was separated from his sister. It's been 3 or 4 years now since then. Does well with other dogs, children and even people. He..only really gets into a squabble when the opposing animal attacks first, which is a clear cut case of self-defense. He'll jump up on kids and lick'em, but he doesn't realize his own strength, so sometimes I gotta remind him that some other lifeforms aren't as strong as he is, whether big or small. He's on alert when he hears other sounds from outside or other people he doesn't recognize. Other than that, he's truly a really amazing dog. His potential is sky high into the clouds, so I called him Nymbus when he was a puppy.
That's a great name!
@@Rogue_Trooper970 For sure. He recently got out of the gate and visited the woman two houses down. He knows how to pick'em.
I have a question. I had an Akita and he had something I've never another dog have. He was catlike. Meaning, you know when you pick up a dog, they are stiff. When you push against their body, they offer resistance. But not my akita. Picking him up was like picking up a cat. That's the only dog I saw this in.
@@burny6666 Alright. What's the question?
@@Aethernium Is your Akita also catlike?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE a responsible dog owner. Making sure that there will not be other dogs when bringing in a dog that does not play well with others is just one of the many ways to be responsible - keep your pup safe, keep other pups safe and minimize liability. GOOD OWNER - BEAUTIFUL PUP
right? when I got my female GSD during Covid I made the mistake of not socializing her with other dogs. She gets along with my other dogs and all humans but new dogs are a big no, she is very reactive and scares me that I cant control her or read her mood with other dogs so, sadly, she doesnt go outside for walks. I moved to a bigger house with a huge backyard just for her. I am aware of my mistake so my reactive dog stays always in new environments with her sibling doggies. I can't put other dogs or her or myself in danger. I wish more owners were like this.
responsible dog owner buy golden retrievers wana be tough guys buy these
Is this really such a responsible dog owner if the dog is 2 years old and has never had a bath in his life?
@@ManateeMentality the dog was well behaved, with a beautiful non matted coat and freshly trimmed nails, that sounds responsible enough for me but I guess you're so perfect can keep bitching about the smallest details

That's why they are nicknamed "the bear face dog." 😊
I would approach this dog in the same way as I would a bear... as in nope.
I love how calm and supportive you are when working with the dog. Rather than getting frustrated, you showed him what would happen every step of the way and minimized his anxiety.
A great and observant point made--so true!
the dog said no to treats at the end. no way was a dog that big full. must have started getting upset.
😅
That’s how you do it
Almost like you were trained
I had 2 Akitas that I walked off lease alone at night in one of the worse neighborhoods in NJ. Nobody bothered us and they obeyed commands flawlessly. No I can’t take credit for their training, I got them that way. They were great dogs still I miss them, even though that was 40 years ago.
😢its hard ,, best wishes from Durham England
I believe it! My male is 2, he’s my first Akita. I could have done much better training him in hindsight, yet he still impresses me almost daily with his overall behavior, diligence, and discipline.
I had a neighbor that would walk her 2 Akitas off-leash at night. I was always so jealous, I could never do that with my shiba.
We dog owners repeat the mistake into believing one's dog will not bite another animal or person. Trust me. It will be irrelevant how much love the dog has for you - and the strength of your bond - we still have to respect other people and leash one's "best behaved" dog. Some people may have $10,000 in the bank to spare in case your well-behaved dog harms another dog or human. However, the potential for harm to you, the owner, is always there too. In summary, please leash you dogs unless they are roaming in your property as small as a patio or backyard.
How irresponsible can you be?
He’s the goodest boy ever.

Jeez, during his grooming, this Akita has received more bribes than a US senator 😊.

@@kyled4112ur mom
@@TOGAB Just because khan is 2 years old doesn't mean their current parents owned them for that long lol.
The implications being they bought a filthy dog, even if they got it a year ago, and/or they never bothered asking why it stank so much when they did get it, or asked when was bathed last? Really? Two years is two years, I fail to see your point.
Even a month, two months tops is too long without a bath, especially for an outside animal. Besides there was NO mention of multiple owners, none. Two years and a nasty animal is two years and a nasty animal, I don't see what or when ownership changed has to do with the condition of the dog, other than identifying the bad pet owner. I don't think you thought through your statement. I did and I stand by mine, there is NO, none, nada, nyet, excuses for an animal in that condition, new or used.🤨
I was pre-veterinarian, I've owned, trained, and tended so many animals, mostly large, how many have you cared for? @@rekkisomo
@@TOGAB The dog looks happy, if hes comfortable I don't see a problem
Khan is just absolutely gorgeous. Floofy, sweet face, good natured, yet unbelievably intimidating. I have to admit that even I, a dog loving person who tries to say hello to any dog I meet (with permission, of course), would pause and hesitate near this one. You just don't know about this breed.
A co-worker had one, from a good breeder, since 9 weeks old. He was a big, sweet bear of a dog. Their friend had him (3 years old) for 2 weeks while they were on vacation. He got out, ended up at the dog shelter. The shelter would not allow the friend to take him out of the shelter, even though owners were contacted & verified the information. Their sweet boy got attacked & merely protected himself & the shelter volunteer that was walking him. So he got labeled as a 'Dangerous Dog.' They had to send him to a farm 'Santuary' as an unadoptable animal or have him euthanized. It took them 2 years and around $8,000 in legal fees to get him back. It is pretty bad when the shelter volunteer has to go to court for the dog (HE PROTECTED ME!!!) against the shelter.

With all due respect.... you.... are the one that doesn't know about this breed. You don't approach this breed On your own. Let the owners of the dog introduce you.
You need to approach it with common sense and intelligence. This dog's only mission in life is to protect its family.
It takes all its cues from the family. Let the family approach you with the dog and you will have a friend for life.
Sometimes it is the lack of intelligence on the part of the human that is the problem and not the breed of the dog.
@@grahamstuart9164 Say what you will. However, I know exactly how to approach and handle animals. I am in a line of work that grants me access to dozens of dogs every week, some known to me and some unknown, and I've never had a problem with any of them. I have interacted with Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls and other "dangerous" breeds. I have had a closed up rescue dog go from cowering behind it's owner to running up, tail wagging and excited to see me, within 6 months time. That's because I gave her the time and patience to get to know me without putting any pressure on her. I know when it's safe to approach and when to stand back. So to assume that there is any lack of intelligence on my part is actually not respectful at all. Assumption is never a good thing. Thank you for your time.
Beautiful dog, hard to believe that was his first grooming experience, he did great . You do a great service and they in return respect you..
I rescued a beautiful, female Akita that was dumped after she had puppies, I immediately went down to adopt her. I had her for seven years amazing beautiful and smart dog.

@@seanLee-sk2miyou’re disturbing
@@seanLee-sk2mi It's disturbing that you have a youtube username. Truly sickening and disgusting
My family took in a beautiful American Akita when I was growing up, after her previous owners decided they couldn't handle the size anymore. Despite me not getting her until she was ~5, she immediately took to our home. I have never seen a dog more fearless (she literally wouldn't even let cars pull into the driveway; she stood directly in front of their vehicles so they couldn't move an inch more, and she kept them there until I told her it was ok to let them in) or more protective. She'd fire off "warning shots" to people that moved around my younger brother and I too quickly, where she'd end up with her mouth around their hands. There was never any pressure at all, she just wanted to let them know that she was protecting us and to never try that again. She always stood next to me, facing whoever I was talking to; she was calm as calm could be, but there was never any doubt about exactly what what she was doing there.
I miss that dog something fierce. We bred her with our Newfie shepherd, and ended up with some of the best, most fun, and most well behaved dogs ever. I loved every single one of them, and they were all wildly different from each other.
But I've always wanted another American Akita since her. They're beautiful, fearsome, absolutely fearless, and some of the most loving dogs imaginable under the right circumstances. They're like a squat bear that loves family time.
@@RevShifty they are amazing dogs, the best
I had a dog like this, it was a lot of work, ten years together, every vet visit had to be the end of the day with no dogs, guests couldn’t just drop by and walk in, walking around the pet store or tractor supply was wayyyy out of the question, other dogs not a chance, it was a big change but let me say this, i have never felt the loyalty that dog gave me, the love the dog gave me, that dog gave me every ounce of himself, and i’d sell everything i own right now to do it again, to see him again, he was my soulmate. Most ppl go for designer breeds and thats fine but i promise you there is a dog or breed of dog that is just for you. If you ever do anything with certainty in your life make it that, find that dog, your dog.

I said goodbye to my fierce protector a month ago and I'm still stricken with grief. He was my protector, my confidante, and most importantly, my buddy. Every time I pass by his ashes I say hi and give him a pat, just like I always used to do. I miss him every day. I can't wait to see him again on the other side.

He's freaking majestic. What a gorgeous boy he is!
True. Majestic with cute eyes!
I grew up with an almost completely golden blond Akita Inu named Old. No.7, after my dad’s drink of choice. My parents got him the same week I was born and I grew up with him as “my” dog.
Seven was about half Kahn’s size but definitely lived up to the family/territory protector role as well as the “too smart for his own good” bit. He figured out how to open the gate latch on his inner doggy yard then jumped onto the trash cans and climb them up and over the big outer fence to freedom. Once he was off our property, he metamorphosed from guard dog to neighborhood social butterfly. We’d get calls from friends on the other side of the neighborhood saying they’d seen him trotting down the sidewalk, making friends and playing with neighbor kids. When my dad put an unlocked padlock in the latch, he almost immediately figured out to pop it out. When my dad locked the padlock, Seven went straight Mission Impossible and figured out how to wedge himself between two bushes and use the chain link fence as paw holds to climb the bushes up and over the fence then proceeded on to the trash can steps.
I know exactly what you mean. Our dog Chance was master Houdini. Climbed a 6ft chainlink fence and got into a place that was shutdown to the public some kind of government facility. They let me go in and get him because apparently many people had already tried to catch him. He was very mischievous and always getting out of the yard to go visit the neighborhood dogs. Same thing people would call and say by name Chance was here visiting earlier but he has gone now. We had the name and address of every dog in a 20 mile radius from our house. 😅😂❤ he was quite the character! Thank you for your story. Old #7 and Chance would have likely been best friends

@@RuLeZ1988just because he’s behaving doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous. So you know how strong a 100lb plus dog is. But because an animal is calm and cute doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of danger. A hibernating brown bear is absolutely adorable, but see what happens if you wake it up😂.
@@disturbedpyro4511 It is a huge dog, but generally this type of dog is not aggressive. For example a bull terrier or bulldog tends to be far more aggressive on average and therefor is more dangerous.

I have two of these. Both well tempered and get along great with other dogs. Very loyal to the family and aware of strangers
I'm on my second Akita, and I can't say enough good things about this dog breed. Like most dogs, they need attention, training and patience. Both are excellent guard dogs, and extremely smart with a very helpful attitude. I do recommend them as house dogs as they do become part of the family and protect everyone inside.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita. He had just been letting it lick him on the face when it suddenly decided to attack. Lovely breed of dog.
@hello_I_am_gay Only the most dangerous of the dangerous breeds are like that, i.e. they give no warning at all before they bite. Apparently Akitas are even more dangerous than I'd thought.
I had 2 akitas for 12 years brother and sister my female was very social and could be around other dogs even by herself my male was not so much he had a natural instinct to be the dominate one every time
I know why you are saying it but I think it's a dangerous thing to recommend a dog like an Akita as a house dog. To people like you who obviously have learnt about the breed and put in the attention and training this recommendation is fine but there are too many people who buy a dog as a status symbol buy have no idea what they are buying. They don't have the room, the patience, the time, the money and don't care enough to have a dog like this. Instead they strut around with a ticking time bomb on a leash! It's not only Akitas but the big shepherd dogs like the Caucasian shepherd, the Cane Corso etc. They're all becoming fashionable now the pitbull terrier and XL Bullies are being banned all over the world. Soon the backyard breeders will be selling all of these beautiful big dogs and they'll be the dogs everyone is afraid of- until they too are banned.
Don't recommend them - keep them quiet so that responsible owners can continue to love and enjoy them.
Do you have other dogs too?
Can they be socialized and trained to get along with other dogs?
That dog was so huge, I kept worrying why you didn't have a muzzle on him . But it turns out he's very docile. I can't believe how calm he was for his first dog groom. Just Wow !! . The dog whisperer. 🐕🐶
Good with humans bad with other dogs. I've known dogs like this. It happens when they're socialized with humans growing up but rarely with other dogs. He a very a very good boy and racist.. lol. Or species-ist.
So how is this the most dangerous dog out there? The video title is quite exaggerated, right?
@@RuLeZ1988 well pitbulls are considered dangerous but there are some very nice pitbulls out there. It's just a stereotype.

He passed away 1 and a half years after my father had passed and for that period of time we could see that something was missing from him (and it wasn't related to him being sick..) Also, this is a breed that will die for his family. Like no joke, they will give their lives for their loved ones

I'm so sorry for your loss. A very difficult combination of family life events to go thru. Take care.
I wonder if they grew up with livestock and their owners consistently, if they would be good livestock dogs up where bears are. I can't imagine a dog successfully fighting off a bear. Would they be trustworthy if raised with sheep or goats or in the house with a small dog breed or cat?
@@RepentfollowJesus well....mine weighed 60 kilograms. Seeing that an average bear weight is somewhere 100+ kg (up to 6-800-1000 kg) I have no doubt that they would have no difficulty in making a bear leave. If they want a fight the Akita will never back down I can tell ou that. Win the fight ? well that is a different answer and it depends on the size of the bear that they encounter. And I also do believe that they could make proper livestock dogs if sufficiently trained in that direction. Just keep in mind that they usually attach 110% to 1 person in family who would be their ultimate master.
Kudos for your patience. Thank you for taking care of these beautiful animals.
Beautiful boy! And so well-behaved for his first ever groom!:) Love getting to know about all the dog breeds and their histories.
Can't believe you survived this encounter. Stay safe soldier
He reminds me of my Akita “Buster”. What a great and beautiful dog he was. Absolutely fearless in protecting his family from intruders and other dogs.
Yeah OK...😂
I grew up with an Akita mix - they are stellar dogs, and require a lot of responsive and kind guidance. One of the trickier aspects of the breed is that they don't display body language as overtly as other breeds, which makes it easy for people who don't know dogs to make a mistake worthy of a correction - and a 100lb dog's correction can be big and scary. These dogs are SO loyal and loving, they will straight up be your best friend. I absolutely love the breed, but they are not for an inexperienced dog owner!
I have a German shepherd/akita mix, it wasn't a planned litter, but that's besides the point. We did early training, he's excellently well behaved, and introduced him to other dogs and strangers early on. He slowly became more and more protective and weary of other dogs and people. He is extremely lovable and a joy to people who he already trusts, but he has met his limit on people he trusts. We had to come to accept that he wont be able to make friends with other dogs, or meet new people. He is doing what his genes tell him, protect his home and his family. So, when she said they may not like others, there is nothing but truth to that statement. If you are patient and understand the dogs nature, you could end up with the most loyal, loving companion.
Handsome boy. My family recently lost our ol boy Kongo a few months ago. He was 11 1/2 yrs old. Was the nicest and friendliest boy ever. Only time he got aggressive was when certain types of people came around. I do miss him dearly.
He looked gorgeous when you got done with him! I hope his owner(s) liked it, too.
Yeah. I had an Akita myself. He was just a big floof who loved being around people lol 🤣🤣. He was a beautiful floof he passed after 14 years of fulfilling life
I had an Akita and he loved everyone. My heart broke when he was 15 and he got cancer. We had to put him down and it was horrific to watch him suffer.
My biggest hope is that my 2 yearold lives another 13 years. But no matter when he dies, it will have been too short.
I've had 3 American Akitas. They were all incredible.
Alerted when strange noises or vehicles came around. Quickly picked up on the sounds of the neighborhood. In fact they did that so well my neighbors also loved having them around.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita just because he was letting it lick him on his face. He had been with the dog numerous times before that. It just suddenly did that with zero warning.
@@thewholetruth5473Do you think perhaps your friend shouldn't have been letting the dog lick his face? What would possess you to allow a dog like an Akita lick your face? As they always say, it's generally the human not respecting the breed that enables these types of awful events to occur. Was the dog put to sleep?
@HWarner a dog does that to me or anyone I care about and its being put to sleep with power tools
@@HWarner Well I think no person should ever let any dog lick their face. People have acquired flesh-eating bacterial infections from dog licks on their face.
Anyway, not every person knows about dog breeds, so he had no idea the dog was capable of that. Regardless of whether he was being stupid or not, my point is that a non-dangerous dog doesn't rip a person's chin off just because he let the dog lick his face.
Akitas are beautiful and are probably a great breed for certain people. They should only ever be owned by men in my opinion though.
@@HWarner Well this was about 25 years ago and the dog was not put to sleep then because at the time the bite victim was kind of dating the female dog owner. So he didn't want to do anything to her dog. The dog might have been put to sleep though or shot by one of the next people it probably bit.
My brother recently got mauled by an Akita that his long time best friend (30+ years) and wife had.
Broke his fingers and went for his throat in about half a second but he turned his head and got his face fucked up.
Not saying they're bad owners. My brother loves dogs and has had many "dangerous" breeds like Rots. (Though our Rough Collie was never fixed and I grew up with him and he was a terrible dog and my parents were terrible owners)
My brother is a decent bit older than me and has been friends with that family for 30+ years.
It's good if dog owners know their breed, know their temperment, know their triggers, know if they can socialize.
My brother has his face and hand fucked up for life and was lucky that he turned his head from his good friend's dog.
A lot of working dogs have a purpose (including our very bad rough collie I grew up with) and it's just not a good idea to have them in urban situations.
It's not specifically the dog's fault and it's easy for a new owner to get in over their head or not understand socialization because a dog is good at home.
How awful. I expect there are many stories of dogs that snapped that doesn't only apply to Akita though. Always a devastating situation.
who cares about the dog when the girl is so beautiful💕
You earned your stripes grooming the customer so very well. I extend my compliments for the work you did with such a strong beast !
My husband was almost killed by an akita, our own akita. We had him since he was a wee baby and he was the sweetest boy in the whole wide world. Then one day he just attacked my husband out of nowhere. Tore up his face and throat, somehow missed the carotid. Tore his artery in his bicep and completely mangled his leg, he had to get plastic surgery and get muscle and tissue replaced. Turned out our dog had an infection in his brain, he had shown absolutely no signs of anything until that moment and I thank God that it wasn't one of our toddlers. I miss my dog so much.
Omg… that is terrible! 😮 Never mind the dog - how is your poor husband?! That is absolutely horrible! It sounds like your husband is lucky to be alive! I’m sure that he’ll have mental, emotional and physical scars for life. 😬
American Akitas: *known for being the most dangerous dog breeds in the world*
Khan: 0:05
Akitas really are very intelligent. I once knew a lady who had one and he was basically a giant teddy bear, but very smart. Once I saw him play a trick on her by pretending to be asleep and as she walked by him he put out a paw to try to trip her. That kind of abstract thinking capacity -- thinking into the future -- is beyond most breeds.
He is a heart melter That's what he is )) just beautiful
0:16 -" bathtub? thats not a bathtub for me lady!"

"Sir, you smell like pee pee."
What a magnificently beautiful doggo he is. That face too! Gorgeous!
At what point does it count as a bear? I feel like this must be close to it.
He looked gorgeous after you groomed him
Akita are amazing dogs for their owners. Anyone else is basically a chew toys. I've never met one I trusted. They are very very temperamental. Admittedly I saw them as a Veterinary Professional so they were never in ideal circumstances.
So, to say it might be a cool idea to take your puppy Akida to a grooming salon just to hang out as they age to keep them socialized? Maybe like a 3 times a week thing? As puppies they would be introduced to other dogs then and learn to be around people. Something a solon owner would have to agree to I guess.
What a beautiful, good boy❤ 🐾
You did a fantastic job! The patience that you showed clearly made the difference in the dog getting a bath! If you think that it's safe, where are you located,for others that would li,e your services! Thanks also for the history lesson of that breed!
Unfortunately i had a friend who owned an Akita but never taught him who was top dog so the dog decided he was the boss. He bit several ppl , including his owners mother so the owner put him down. I was so sad to hear this because it was unnecessary. He knew nothing of what kind of dog Willie was, nor did he try to learn how to properly control him. Willie was just doing what Akitas do. When his mom got bit it was her fault, really. She came around the side if the dog and him not knowing her, bit her. It wasn't a bad bite by any means, just a "hey, dont touch me " bite. I asked the owner why he just didn't muzzle Willie and he said he thought it was cruel...so he put his dog down....I never had any problems with Willie, he was a gorgeous dog and I miss him!
i would never keep a dog whom was breaded to attack other dogs, humans are cruel
His head looked so much like a bear! He's a beautiful dog!❤❤
What a stunning dog!!! For his forst bath that went really well. U are a true pro!!
They are not big barkers neither but have been known to watch and take action without warning when a threat is revealed or discovered.
Wow, what a beautiful dog. Some dogs love getting groomed, I guess he's one of them. One of my Yorkies loved getting groomed, as soon as she saw me grab the blow dryer and clippers, she already knew what was about to happen lol. She would run to the kitchen and was ready to go. But my other Yorkie, omg she hated getting groomed lol she would just lie there, was not cooperative at all. But it's ok, I loved them both. Rip, Lilly and Lana 😇 love and miss you girls. This video Def brought back memories.
I love my two Akitas. They are babies and very well natured, play with dogs and kids great. One is American and AKC certified, the other is and Inu.
That's a beautiful dog. I love big dog breeds. Kang looks like a big teddy bear. 😀
What a big sweetie! I bet he strutted around like a champ after all the bathing and grooing!
If Bold, Dignified & demanding Respect were a dog, it would be an American Akita.
I have had Staffordshire Bull terriers all my life
a really great family dog especially around children BUT it is ESSENTIAL they are socialised day 1
if this is done they are confident and friendly
they are also tough
mine aged 6 months was hit by a petrol rc car a moron teased him with
severely broke his front leg
to this day that little fella got my respect... not even a yelp just kept his leg up!
he has had understandable issue with rc cars since and will destroy them on sight!
they are naturally neurotic so hitting them shouting etc really should always be avoided especially around the head as this is likely to make it VERY unstable
there have been many attacks over the years involving these dogs
but usually it is down to a dysfunctional moron who wants to use it as a threat!
never seen a guard trained or well trained one even show aggression!!
as with most things today
BOTHER TO READ
as cute as any dog is it IS a WOLF and you need to remember that!
breeds can be VERY specific in how they behave so do NOT buy a border Collie unless you are working with cattle or have land
it will go MAD in an apartment
where a Japanese xin will be out of breath at the end of the hall!
have a great day and thanks for sharing!
I had rescued American Akita and he is great with all dogs, not aggressive and not protective at all. In fact just a big cuddling Teddy bear
It's not the dogs fault it's the owner and how they treat there dogs and they got to be trained
My Sam was an American akita, possibly with some GSD in him. He was 1 year old from a shelter and had already been adopted 3 times before us. I loved him to pieces, and i miss him loads even 5 years after he's gone.
The problem people have with these dogs is theyre dominant. They can be really difficult to live with if they don't respect you.
Sam was just like a stubborn teenager, he'd walked all over every human in his life before us, that's why he kept getting sent back.
That kind of dog, it took me a long time to realise you have to shower them with love but you have to stick the boot in sometimes too. They're big, they're stubborn, they're tough. They have to know youre a bigger force than them or they'll never listen to you. I lost my temper with him big time once and laid hands on him. Im not proud of it but it fixed him. He didnt think that humans were capable of anything till then.
His previous owners all gave up and let him down. We kept him and eventually found a way make him behave. If we hadnt done that he would've died in that shelter, instead he had a full life, didnt need a leash. RIP buddy, love you.
All American Akita have GSD in them, it's how they were made. If you go back to post-WWII after they were introduced to the US (in Japanese form), they were crossbred with GSD and other dogs to produce the amazing animal we have today.
As a former akita owner of a boy called chico, they are a very friendly breed and have alot of strength (they have more muscle density than other dog breeds)😊 😊
I had a female Akita that looked just like this one,used to wash her in my bathtub and when she would SHAKE the entire bathroom (ceiling too!) would be covered in soap & water.🧼💦
I had an akita was japanese inu of 55kg and never had a problem my freinds also had his siblings and all of them were perfect companions any dog can be vicious its about training and keeping there very intelligent brains active and occupied very intelligent dogs
"of course nurture can and does play a role in temperament but it's very important to understand that so does genetics "
I wish all the super loud 'protectors' of dangerous dog breeds would bloody understand this. You can be the best owner to your [insert breed here] say pitbull, it is still a dangerous dog!!!
My first Akita was named Khan, only he was a brindle. When my daughter was born, he instantly became her protector, and never left her side. She was HIS baby. He was so gentle and careful with her. Too bad he passed decades ago.
He looks like it was a most enjoyable experience; so sweet and loveable! Around treat No. 5 he looked like, "Hmmmm, this is niiiiiiice! She's a good human and this feels so gooooood!" 🥰🥰💖💖🤣🤣
LOOKS LIKE A PUPPY LUV TO ME
The Never Ending Story’s nothing dog is real… Holy Molly. What a beautiful puppy.
The breed looks marvelous, stunning and fierce, wow!
I lost you for a while and finally found you. I love to watch you groom the dogs but to learn about them as well.!!!
Man, I love my Akita. I love when you have them on your channel.
Just had the pleasure of subscribing to you today... thank you for a good smile when I need one.
Shouldn't they be introduced to baths or showers earlier in life?
He is just majestic, what a handsome boy he is….i swear you have the best job, my only problem is I’d fall in love with every animal that walked in…especially dogs with talkative eyes!
I owned one of these 15 years before he left me and I miss him so much. It’s unbelievable. He was the softest and most gentle friend I’ve ever known dogs are not dangerous. The owners are
He cleaned up nicely and he enjoyed this first time experience exceptional well.
He is an American Akita and he is not dangerous. I do have 2 akitas and they are not dangerous at all !!! They are very kind dogs. As every dog they can be dangerous if treated badly
I had an Akita. He was the absolute sweetest, best dog I have ever owned.
What a handsome gentleman 🐕 🐻
The slow steady approach, with a soft voice, followed by treats, wins again. I thank you for the look at the pretty boy.
As an Akita owner. Perfect. You did awesome and explained them well. "To be respected"
Purely going by looks- American Akitas are probably up there with my favorite breed😍🥺
He done soooo good for his first time ❤️
Wow, when the door opened and the little dog came out, his handsome, dignified yet adorable face captured my heart.
❤💘💘❤❤😘🤩😍🥰
