I had an adorable pekingese puppy that chased his tail for hours...meanest dog ever. Beautiful dog but mean af would bite anyone. We had a very volatile homelife does this mean she felt that tension? So sad I had to give her away when I coulda "tamed" her and now I'm so sad...😢 now I feel guilty. I'm so sorry Buffy!
My husband and I took in what turn out to be a super neurotic dog that would snap at us when he was yelled out or told no loudly. We had him for 11 years until he stroked out and died. He was a German shepherd so not a small, helpless dog. He definitely would have been put down in any other household. He became more trusting of us, and cuddly even, but he still could just be an overactive, naughty mess. We actually ended up taking in my elderly mom's lab/Pitt mix who helped him tremendously. They were best friends and had sleep overs for a few years b4 my mom needed a senior living situation, so midnight just very naturally moved to us. The Boy passed and I worried midnight would be lonely, but she has understood he was gone and has adjusted super well.
I agree. She is a kind woman and has a lot of patience. Without her, the dog would have been put to sleep. But she must not ruin her life for an animal. When you are getting in age, it is harder to cope. Take care
Shes territorial. Shes also frightened. They both are. Shes probably been mistreated. This will take the poor dogs entire life. I believe she was trained to wear the muzzle inside her previous home because she was unpredictable. Shes a different behaving dog once the muzzle is iff!
Well, she most likely bit someone early on ( in her previous home ) and perhaps a stipulation was enyered where she vould keep her home only if she was muzzled..
I can relate to this woman because that is how I was brought up and how my family was with dogs. If you had a dog with problems you did everything you could to help the dog. You never give up.
@@robnorton9496 it's not about you honestly and if you get a pet who has been neglected or abused you have to let him work through their issues and in return they will give you so much more love but it's not about you adopting them it's about letting them work out their issues in my opinion
Even when she still snapped you could tell she loved and trusted Debby behind that weird defense system gone wrong. It was in the eyes. What a lovely outcome and what an admirable lady for never giving up on Boots.
My neighbors dogs were like this because the step-dad was kicking them and instructing his kids to do it. Because he was like that of course a divorce was imminent and everyone got displaced including the dogs.
@@The_Silver_Hippie Not neccessarily in one day, but probably he did. Regardless, even if it took him a week, its impressive. He seems to be wearing the same clothes at 2:43 and 8:04, so I guess he did do it in one day.
Dogs communicate differently than humans, that's why human standards for mental illnes don't quite fit here. Things like excessive barking, destructive behavior, or attempts to escape are often caused by anxiety. I'd call that mentally ill and it's certainly not rare.
@aynrandish9 106~~I know, right~~I would be one of those women that would try to chill this pup~~With heavy duty gloves of course~~I love all animals so much that I really would try to help this one~~You say mental illness??...Very possible~~The spinning cracks me up though~~lol~~There just has to be a reason~~One thing I don't believe in is muzzles~~I wonder if there are pup shrinks~~One thing for sure I wouldn't give up on this pup~~I'm worrying about this precious woman and pray this possesed pup doesn't hurt her~~God Bless them both~~😀💖~~
I fostered dogs for 20 yrs. I took one into foster who came with a reputation for biting. I ignored her for 5 days . I did the basics. One the 5th night I found her in my bed at 3am. Three months later she was ready for her forever him. She went to three and she was returned each time for biting. The rescue said they couldn’t keep paying for her because she was never going to be adopted and I was the safest she would ever be. I had a choice adoption or put to sleep. I’m happy to say it’s three years later and she is snoring her head off while asleep on my bed
I have a 4 yrs old feral born cat. I got her at about 6 months old. She hated people. Took me 7 days of Ignoring her and boxing off the underside of my bed and then she finally started to ecplore the place and warm up to me. At this point she is a normal strangershy housecat who loves to cuddle - But she does not like to be picked up... so I don't. :)
When my husband was alive we adopted a long haired jack and she loved my husband and just tolerated me, when my husband took ill she never left him and used to growl at me when I was feeding him and cleaning him she guarded him every moment. When he died she would leave his bed and wouldn't eat all I could do was coax her and leave her dish on the bed beside her, I then stopped that and kept telling her she would have to come and get fed, she eventually did and one day she got up on the chair with me, to be honest I thought she was going to bite me but she pushed her way onto my knee, from that day she just tolersted me and came when she wanted a cuddle not when I wanted but on her terms, I had her until she was 22 years old when she took a stroke and passed away but I'll never forget her she was her own wee person proud as could be.
I have a similar story. Dogs love their the one they see as master diffently from the rest of the family. I had to except that. My dog learned to accept and love me 2 years before her death. Just happy that we were finally able to connect.
Jack Russell's are their own beings, I got a rescue one and didn't realise what I had let myself in for lol, I hated him for the first six months but after that we were best buddies, he used to get separation anxiety if I left him which wasn't often and was such a character that it only feels like yesterday that I lost him, but it's been eight years now gone in the blink of an eye !
My guess: she was your hubby’s dog & u were the wife:) maybe a bit of jealousy on doggo part. Either way u did best u could we/hubby & his circumstances & best u could we/dog 🫶🫶🫶
@barryspurr9577 yes you are right , I see it alot and have experienced it first hand when I adopted a rescue , it was heartbreaking to see how psychologically damaged my adopted dog was through his traumatic first 4 years of his life .Having my previous dogs since pups I could see the difference in behaviour and how much my rescue had been denied 😔
@Rat_Queen86 yes I also know how this is as I had a rescue and found it heartbreaking seeing how his previous life had effected him , it was challenging but so rewarding to see him improve and enjoy life like his should 😊 My first dog was a Jack Rusell and what an amazing dog he was , he gave me 17 wonderful years , it's beyond my comprehension how people can be so cruel & heartless to any animal .
She allowed it because she always wanted the love, she just had fear. Its also why she never came at her and went in circles instead to release the energy/feeling.
@@TheKatarinaGiselle Ya thats what I thought to. She desperately wanted to touch but something inside triggered. Smart loving dog who when felt that trigger instead of actually biting she would do the circling. I wonder what caused that trigger/response to come about?
@@panninggazz5244 Terriers are often too hyper for a regular person. They are quintessential go to earth dogs. They were bred to root out “Vermin.” They are working dogs. I love hounds: Beagles.

Said the same thing not all dogs can be saved and that's okay. I've seen people guilt tripped into loving dangerous animals. Crazy that people will sacrifice safety over social stigma. Not saying this lady doesn't love this dog but she seems like a sweet lady who deserves a better animal.
@@grimsonforce7504 to be honest most dangerous animals are euthanized in the shelters if they're not adoptable. They are adopted if they can be socialized and have potential for the most part so stop with your scare tactics
I just hope this pup stays nice~~I just can't believe that man fixed the meaness from this dog in 5 minutes~~I fear that something might set her, or him off and gets mean again~~I would hate to hear that the pup hurt this wonderful woman~~😀~~
@@vikkibrown2023 not sure, but sort of have to assume it was a wee bit more than the "5 minute miracle" presented ? Would be helpful to know how much actual training time was given to the dog owner and if there is follow up. The edited 'script" is quite impressive. Luv dogs but was thinking "Lady, they put down good sweet dogs every day, why not swap this nutty nipper for one of them ? "
I adopted a dog who was a saint at the shelter and immediately turned into a crazy bite machine the second I brought her home. She was so bad I loaded her into the car to take her back to the shelter on two seperate occasions. I turned my car back around both times. Asked my vet and he said it was behavioral, gave me the number to the best aggression trainer in town and we had happy life together! A good trainer is worth their weight in gold! 😊
Same, here. German shepherd w bite history, they drugged him at the shelter and I couldn't take him back to that. I've had many dogs, and he's the best, most CONSIDERATE dog, thanks to training. I cannot recommend the book The Good Dog Way by Shaun O'Sheaenoigh, but if you really want results consult a professional.
@@nohjrd Looks like a series of typos - they put "Shaun O'Sheaenoigh" when it should have been "Sean O'Shea enough" (edited to correct the author's forename, spotted when I went searching for the book!).
That's a tough one. I've adopted several dogs with issues from bad previous owners. My first was an abused, starved pit bull puppy who became the most wonderful little protector for 12 years, but never hurt a soul. One took 7 months to get over her fear, after running to hide under the bed anytime someone came over. The last lunged aggressively at strangers when we were out walking, wouldn't let me hug or touch him from his neck on back. Only after I adopted another rescue for him to play with, did he realize he could give me kisses, after watching her! That took several years; had I not adopted him and been willing to invest the time, he'd have surely been euthanized. All became the most loving dogs to everyone. Animals have issues just like humans.
It makes me think she’s scared. It’s like an abused kid that really just needs you to grab them and hug them, no matter how awful they act. Thank God for you…such a kind person
Take this advice with a grain of salt lol i was an abused traumatized kid and if someone forced a hug on me during a distressing moment i would have hurt them trying to get them off
This sounds like a medical condition! We had a dog who became aggressive. We found out she had a very serious medical condition that caused her to be in so much pain. Once she had the operation she needed, and she was out of pain, she became herself again! The same sweet dog she is!
👍 I'm a CVT, and I thought the same thing!!! Hypersensitivity to touch is a common issue with cats. It's not outright pain, but some forms of touch are too overwhelming to their nervous system. Maybe this pup has something along those lines. ❤ I'm just thrilled to see another dog's life spared by patience and understanding.
@m.r7334 - what kind of medical condition and what kind of surgery did she get? I was thinking there is something neurogically wrong with her because my dog use to spin some right before a seizure. I am concerned her dog does need to get something medical corrected too.
@JD-tn5tb why don't you just mind your own business!! Are you there? No.. ...you social media critics take a small clip and think you know it all,get over yourselves!!
If you save a rescue and they turn on you, please don't lose hope! I took on a rescue cat that was set upon by 3 dogs, she broke her own hip to get through a fence to get away. After bringing her home from the vet care that she needed, she understandably didn't come out for days and when she did, she turned badly. I would walk passed a door and she would come out claws blazing. She cut me up terribly for 2 years, I so nearly gave up. However, a dear friend reminded me of her circumstances and encouraged me to keep going. It took 2 years for her to learn to trust but she really was the most beautiful and loving cat of all times. It took another year for her to snuggle next to me in bed and probably another year to go under the covers. To make a long story short, In the end she would come on call, roll over on command, use a dedicated toilet of her own instead of a kitty litter tray, jump into my arms on call. We learned sooooo many tricks together. She is long gone now with old age, but I have the memories of the best cat ever. Don't give up on them, they are truly worth it when they finally realise they are safe now.
A lot of people don’t realise that animals can have trauma too. It comes out in the only ways they know how to communicate and unfortunately that can often include fear based aggression even towards the ones they love. She never stopped loving you through that whole experience, she was just scared (but I’m sure you knew that). Well done for persevering, I’m certain she was so grateful to have someone who gave her the time and space she needed to heal and become herself again :) thank you for loving her❤️
My dog had epilepsy and it damaged his brain so much that he focused on shadows all the time he could never relax. He went from a dog that could confidentially do an obstical course first time every time to a dog who i couldn't even touch. I spent tens of thousands of dollars on treatments and he had to be under anaesthesia to just have a vet check😢. Last year at four years old he crossed to the rainbow bridge. I am so glad this doggy was able to find some peace because i would have done anything to be able to cure mine
Took in a rescue that had been kept in a kennel all day for 8 years. He wasn't aggressive, but he didn't like me. It took 2 years before he jumped on my lap. Great relationship with him now. I've had him 7 years.
I adopted a 6 months old stray cat. Took weeks before she let me touch her. Months before she would let me pet her and not walk away. After a year she would lie beside my leg at night and i could pet her for an hour or two. Now, 5ish yrs in, she will let me pick her up for about 20 seconds and she is a snuggler on a daily basis. She just started laying half her body on my chest at regular basis. The past years she only laid on my chest 2 times, wich was right after I got home from a 3 day trip.... There has been many "first" experiences with her that felt AMAZING! It feels like being told a secret declaration of love everytime.
I had exactly the same problem with my rescue dog. Same biting, growling and going round in circĺes.She needed her Adrenal Glands emptying! She was a lot better afterwards and over time she has become a very affectionate little dog and adores me.
I suspect that the dog was hit about the head and face and why it took this long to rehabilitate her. Many people discipline a dog by swatting it in the face.
I used to have an old cat. She was one of those playdough cats you can just do what ever you wanted to and she would purr away. When she died I was gutted. By chance I found a 6 month old kitten at the local shelter, who looked alot like my old cat and although she was feral born and scared I felt like I had to take her home. She turned out to be very hard to tame. At this point she is 4 yrs old and I still see progress in how she trusts me. She is a snuggler at this point, but she is alot more independant than my old cat. She will not let anyone pick her up. My point is, I also felt for this lady, because grieving my old cat and not being able to touch or calm my newly adopted kitten for weeks was a gutpunch. -On the other hand, the gratification and love you get in return from the hard work and patience is incredible in its own way!
She put up with this dog for two years. Thank goodness Boots got the help she needed, because she did turn out to be quite a sweet dog. I hope it lasts.
Two wholly unnecessary years because of an owner who hasn't a clue about understanding dogs - along with most posters here. She shouldn't be praised but rather blamed for allowing that dog to spend 2 years (about 10 human years) in misery.
@@achitophel5852 Honestly, most people don't know. I am not a dog owner myself, so I have no personal idea what to do. But, I have seen several agressive dogs that seem to have problems relating to people who were adopted during Covid. I have literally stopped going for walks at certain times of the day in my neighborhood because the dog owners can't control their dogs. They don't want to pay a trainer and don't know what to do on their own.
I like this man. This is the first video I’ve watched. Someone like Cesar Millan would have back the dog in a corner until she gave up. Cesar would consider this a “calm, submissive state”, but no, it’s just the dog shutting down. This man was able to flip the switch in the dog’s mind, offering her a better way to be. I really like him.
Nine....that's rubbish. Some dogs need to have the switch flipped. A reboot, if you like. A 'shut down ' dog will never behave normally again. None of the dogs Cesar treated were shut down.
@@madwhitehare3635 right. Thats why Junior, Cesar’s dog that he raised from puppyhood, bit a person, bit another dog, and eventually killed another dog. Cesar couldn’t even train his own dog correctly, but sure, listen to his advice. That makes sense.
@@madwhitehare3635 You can put a dog into submission and it will probably 'behave'. But 1) "a shut down dog will never behave normally again": where did you get that? the 'give up' state will end once the dog sees a way out 2) (but even after a way out) it will keep the scarfs inside from that moment and the stress and fear with it 3) which is not only awful for the dog, but also dangerous because one day it will come out in a bad way 4) I think you missed some Cesar episodes, I've seen enough of them with dogs shutting down 5) finally: not only is it unnecessary cruel to mistreat a dog who's already in pain, stress,... especially since there are much better ways, it also destroys the trust of the dog in his owner, who is supposed to protect him and such goodbye the bond between them
That dog is almost like my rescue, mine bit me, and was really upset after it. Worst one was when he bit through the nail of thumb. He passed away in march. And I’m still looking where he is before moving. But the beautiful thing is that he died in my arms, the last 5 minutes of his life, he decided he could trust me. I miss him so much.
What a lovely lady! Two years of snarling and biting could not have been easy. Somewhere in this little girls past she was slapped. Pain was all a hand meant to her. Well done for caring enough to stick it out.
My rescue terrier was the same for two years ' the spinning and no touching. He loved rough play and long walks. He slept on the bed with me though. After about 4 years he would sometimes snuggle up. Now aged 13 he's a delightful companion
She's a Middleton strain working Lakeland terrier. We have them, but ours are loveable happy family dogs who have never growled or bitten us ever. Someone has teased or treated her very badly in the past or she's been kept in a pack and not handled at all, and so doesn't trust anyone! They are very clever and quick to learn, thank goodness you got some help!
Debbie is obviously a responsible, caring dog owner. So of course she would have had her dog checked out by a vet already. No need to pretend you know better than her in the comments.
This seems like a medical issue - a typical aggressive dog would not turn and go in circles after themselves like that. I was wondering if her back or tail/bottom was injured and causing her pain, and maybe touch made it worse, perhaps even just in the past, so she learned to fear being touched. I hope she has had a good vet exam. I’m so glad her owner took her in despite her problems. Poor little dog.
Actually this is surprisingly common obsessive behavior that can be resolved through the method if Dog Listening/Amichien Bonding. But always the first thing is to have the dog thoroughly vet checked.
As a physio, it struck me that the dog had been injured by a human and had experienced severe pain. Hence the loving eye contact but no direct physical contact allowed. How sad for the little pooch. Thank heavens for Debbie.
This is just your normal maladaptive coping behavior as a response to fear. You can see how it switches on and off seemingly random until you actually figure out the trigger.
This man is the ultimate dog whisperer. The lady who took on this dog and kept giving him love for two years despite only receiving hostility in return is a saint among women. I'm so glad the meeting of these two people had such a wonderfully happy outcome!
Wow she is a very compassionate lady. I love animals but i think even i would find that challenging. For two years before she got help too. Hats off to her, what a kind lady 😊
Reminds me of my Zeb. He never snapped at me but he didn’t want to be petted or loved on. He was born feral and I had him almost 15 years. I know he loved me in his own way.
One of our cats is standoffish, but over seven years, had warmed up to me. When I go on work trips, my spouse puts barriers on all the seats except the one beside him. The cat decides to sleep on the cold hard floor instead. 😹
Please ask your vet if your dog might have a neurological disorder called hyperesthesia, with an increased sensitivity to the general senses. The symptoms include: heightened sensitivity to touch, slight pressure or temperature . Some muscles, especially the in the back and the tail area may “ripple”, the dog may “circle” and attack his own tail. This disorder can be successfully treated with gabapentin. Please describe your pet’s behavior to your vet. 0:48
You know, you could tell she loved Debbie even through the snarling. And Debbie is such a loving, patient person. How lovely that they got the help they needed ❤
I've seen a dog like that and its behaviour was a result of psychological trauma. A dog psychologist came and worked with it for three days and it calmed down and began to heal. It bit its own tail so badly that it had open sores and was bleeding all the time

My neighbours are going through something right now and they started letting their old cat outside all day, everyday and it seems lonely. We sit out with it after work and feed it, and I bought it a toy. I just say, "Hi cat!" when it comes over, and we have a seat together on the porch. I don't think the cat is offended that I call it cat. The cat is my little buddy.
@@valeriemcdonald440 I was talking about usage in German. Cat has a generic female form in German and there is a distinct word for male cat which has a male form. In both cases, the pronouns are "she" and "he". People who talk about cats as "it"s are uncommon as well, simply because it's wrong grammar. Same in french btw.
I had a similar experience as this after my two dogs passed away from old age health issues, I adopted a 4 year old rescue and who had a traumatic life and didn't know how to play, go for a walk , never new love or kindness etc. big difference to my previous dogs , after years of teaching, love and patience he got all that and more and it was so rewarding for me to see the change over time, it really broke my heart when he went to the rainbow bridge unexpectedly from a stroke. All animals need to be given a chance for a better life 🙏
I hope the owner sees all these lovely comments. Well done to her, thank you for keeping this dog & being so patient. It was so nice to see the dog allowing some affection finally
It's interesting to see the woman's insecurities reflected in the dogs behaviour. As soon as she stepped up and took control everything calmed down. Great work!
Lol if she's not given up after 2 years of that, she's hardly going to give up now she has something to cuddle at last! The lady has definitely shown patience 😊
This lady really is a kind lovely soul,never gave up on Boots,isn;t it strange how boots reacted so viciously to touch but now she loves it,so glad they got Graham in to help
I had a JR who was like this...I got him at 4 months of age and lived with him and his bad moods for over 13 years. We did come to some level of agreement, but he was never the dog I would have loved to have. Luckily, I had a second JR who was the love of my life. He was diagnosed as being reactive and fear oriented, but nothing really worked. I could never bring myself to euthanize him but he was very difficult. He hated people, other dogs, children, I could go on....I don't think I would do that again. Kudos to this woman for taking her on!
Dogs brains are very sensitive and can be psychologically damaged easy. But also with professional support they can switch their brains back on track again. This was very beautiful. Thank you for helping her and not giving up. You are beautiful also. May you and Boots snuggle and enjoy those lovely cold nights.
@@SelmaAymara Exactly. She is most likely just maladapted and evolved self-defeating behaviors to her fears, or even games. I had a Jack Russell, and his aggression was all a game. Maybe hers just got out of hand, as she did insist on play. Glad she is healed.
I forgot to add in my comment that it's no different to a human with an issue they just need a little help sorting out then everything is OK, beautiful, simple - not simplistic! - thank goodness there's a difference. You are a beautiful person to take this darling doggie with unresolved baggage and to then get her the help she needed. Thank you, for seeing past her "issue/s", loving her anyway, getting her the help she needed. You have saved this sweet soul's life. You are a wonderful woman. ❤😊😊
It took our rescue dog approximately 3-4 years to really recover and relax and stop being aggressive, stressed and afraid.. He still has his issues, but we enjoy our time.. It takes a lot of patience... Bless you lady and gentleman.... All broken can be fixed ❤

You never know what the poor dog had been through before, that usually determines the current behaviour.
''Human hand! NEVER AGAIN!!''
Wow, she really hung in for that dog. She's a unique and wonderful person and Boots hit the lottery with her!
2 years b4 the doggy shrink came along. 2 years!!!
She loved that dog than my own mother ever did for me.
I fostered dogs for 20 yrs. I took one into foster who came with a reputation for biting. I ignored her for 5 days . I did the basics. One the 5th night I found her in my bed at 3am. Three months later she was ready for her forever him. She went to three and she was returned each time for biting. The rescue said they couldn’t keep paying for her because she was never going to be adopted and I was the safest she would ever be. I had a choice adoption or put to sleep. I’m happy to say it’s three years later and she is snoring her head off while asleep on my bed
💞wonderful!!!
I have a 4 yrs old feral born cat. I got her at about 6 months old. She hated people. Took me 7 days of Ignoring her and boxing off the underside of my bed and then she finally started to ecplore the place and warm up to me. At this point she is a normal strangershy housecat who loves to cuddle - But she does not like to be picked up... so I don't. :)
Thank you ❤
Those three families did not try to have insight to the dog
❤❤❤
When my husband was alive we adopted a long haired jack and she loved my husband and just tolerated me, when my husband took ill she never left him and used to growl at me when I was feeding him and cleaning him she guarded him every moment. When he died she would leave his bed and wouldn't eat all I could do was coax her and leave her dish on the bed beside her, I then stopped that and kept telling her she would have to come and get fed, she eventually did and one day she got up on the chair with me, to be honest I thought she was going to bite me but she pushed her way onto my knee, from that day she just tolersted me and came when she wanted a cuddle not when I wanted but on her terms, I had her until she was 22 years old when she took a stroke and passed away but I'll never forget her she was her own wee person proud as could be.
I have a similar story. Dogs love their the one they see as master diffently from the rest of the family. I had to except that. My dog learned to accept and love me 2 years before her death. Just happy that we were finally able to connect.
Jack Russell's are their own beings, I got a rescue one and didn't realise what I had let myself in for lol, I hated him for the first six months but after that we were best buddies, he used to get separation anxiety if I left him which wasn't often and was such a character that it only feels like yesterday that I lost him, but it's been eight years now gone in the blink of an eye !
My guess: she was your hubby’s dog & u were the wife:) maybe a bit of jealousy on doggo part. Either way u did best u could we/hubby & his circumstances & best u could we/dog 🫶🫶🫶
Thank you for the beautiful story❤
Dog was jealous of you, she wanted ur hubby for herself. It’s actually a common phenomenon
I'm not surprised she wanted love in the end. That's all dogs ever want
Best comment on the internet. ❤
Rescues are the victims of human abuse. All my rescues have had human-inflicted problems. . Thank you for all you’ve done.
Our 2 dogs are rescues and our older Jack Russell was diagnosed with PTSD. With a lot of work on our end, he’s doing well but it’s hard
@barryspurr9577 yes you are right , I see it alot and have experienced it first hand when I adopted a rescue , it was heartbreaking to see how psychologically damaged my adopted dog was through his traumatic first 4 years of his life .Having my previous dogs since pups I could see the difference in behaviour and how much my rescue had been denied 😔
@Rat_Queen86 yes I also know how this is as I had a rescue and found it heartbreaking seeing how his previous life had effected him , it was challenging but so rewarding to see him improve and enjoy life like his should 😊
My first dog was a Jack Rusell and what an amazing dog he was , he gave me 17 wonderful years , it's beyond my comprehension how people can be so cruel & heartless to any animal .
God bless this women for not giving up on her❤
To be honest, would not have had this woman's patience. So happy for the outcome. ♥️
Amen!
I'm amazed the dog let the muzzle get put on. Wonderful lady. Patient lady.
Yeah I suspect she had to do a lot of work to get to that point already. She just needed that little bit of help for thr last hirdle.
I know right!?
@@serendipidus8482 yes I’m surprised too!
She allowed it because she always wanted the love, she just had fear. Its also why she never came at her and went in circles instead to release the energy/feeling.
@@TheKatarinaGiselle Ya thats what I thought to. She desperately wanted to touch but something inside triggered. Smart loving dog who when felt that trigger instead of actually biting she would do the circling. I wonder what caused that trigger/response to come about?

Hats off to her, I couldn’t cope a day with that dog.
Said the same thing not all dogs can be saved and that's okay. I've seen people guilt tripped into loving dangerous animals. Crazy that people will sacrifice safety over social stigma. Not saying this lady doesn't love this dog but she seems like a sweet lady who deserves a better animal.
@@grimsonforce7504 to be honest most dangerous animals are euthanized in the shelters if they're not adoptable. They are adopted if they can be socialized and have potential for the most part so stop with your scare tactics
I have had dogs since I was 4 years old, now I have 24 of them. I don’t think I could have had same patience.
I would be like, "this dog is broken, give me a new one" 😂
Put into perspective. A number of nice parents have some bad children, like that dog. It is an impossible situation.
Someone clearly hurt that poor dog before and traumatized her,she just needed to know for sure she's safe❤
Seems like her tail hurts. Tail is part of the spine. Was it docked. Or are they born short like that?
@@m.bird. docked 100% sadly...
@@m.bird. it's typical for this kind of dogs to chase their tale when they feel playful. it's probably just a way for her to direct her fear / anger
I'm so glad that the lovely lady sought help and didn’t just end up surrendering the dog to shelter.
That dog would have surrendered on the first bite.
What a difference a professional makes
That's what most people would've done, especially if they have kids. And the shelters wind up putting them down.
I just hope this pup stays nice~~I just can't believe that man fixed the meaness from this dog in 5 minutes~~I fear that something might set her, or him off and gets mean again~~I would hate to hear that the pup hurt this wonderful woman~~😀~~
@@vikkibrown2023 not sure, but sort of have to assume it was a wee bit more than the "5 minute miracle" presented ? Would be helpful to know how much actual training time was given to the dog owner and if there is follow up. The edited 'script" is quite impressive. Luv dogs but was thinking "Lady, they put down good sweet dogs every day, why not swap this nutty nipper for one of them ? "
I adopted a dog who was a saint at the shelter and immediately turned into a crazy bite machine the second I brought her home. She was so bad I loaded her into the car to take her back to the shelter on two seperate occasions. I turned my car back around both times. Asked my vet and he said it was behavioral, gave me the number to the best aggression trainer in town and we had happy life together! A good trainer is worth their weight in gold! 😊
Same, here. German shepherd w bite history, they drugged him at the shelter and I couldn't take him back to that.
I've had many dogs, and he's the best, most CONSIDERATE dog, thanks to training.

Two years. I am amazed and nearly in tears..
I am in tears, lol
Damn, and me. 😂❤
That's a tough one. I've adopted several dogs with issues from bad previous owners. My first was an abused, starved pit bull puppy who became the most wonderful little protector for 12 years, but never hurt a soul. One took 7 months to get over her fear, after running to hide under the bed anytime someone came over. The last lunged aggressively at strangers when we were out walking, wouldn't let me hug or touch him from his neck on back. Only after I adopted another rescue for him to play with, did he realize he could give me kisses, after watching her! That took several years; had I not adopted him and been willing to invest the time, he'd have surely been euthanized. All became the most loving dogs to everyone. Animals have issues just like humans.
I'm full fledged sobbing. Dogs deserve love and patience. This woman is special.
@@girlygal098 So do human beings.
2:15 the way she innocently brought the toy to her 😭
It makes me think she’s scared. It’s like an abused kid that really just needs you to grab them and hug them, no matter how awful they act. Thank God for you…such a kind person
She’s been abused by a human being. That’s why she’s ‘scared’. .
Heads up, dogs don't (usually) like being hugged. It comes off as aggressive to them.
Take this advice with a grain of salt lol i was an abused traumatized kid and if someone forced a hug on me during a distressing moment i would have hurt them trying to get them off
This sounds like a medical condition! We had a dog who became aggressive. We found out she had a very serious medical condition that caused her to be in so much pain. Once she had the operation she needed, and she was out of pain, she became herself again! The same sweet dog she is!
👍 I'm a CVT, and I thought the same thing!!!
Hypersensitivity to touch is a common issue with cats. It's not outright pain, but some forms of touch are too overwhelming to their nervous system. Maybe this pup has something along those lines.
❤ I'm just thrilled to see another dog's life spared by patience and understanding.
Yes, the spinning reaction made me think pain somewhere back in the day and it's become a weird habit to stop it returning. Great outcome though!
Did you even watch the who video...this dog is not in pain....more likely was abused
@m.r7334 - what kind of medical condition and what kind of surgery did she get? I was thinking there is something neurogically wrong with her because my dog use to spin some right before a seizure. I am concerned her dog does need to get something medical corrected too.
@JD-tn5tb why don't you just mind your own business!! Are you there? No.. ...you social media critics take a small clip and think you know it all,get over yourselves!!
If you save a rescue and they turn on you, please don't lose hope! I took on a rescue cat that was set upon by 3 dogs, she broke her own hip to get through a fence to get away. After bringing her home from the vet care that she needed, she understandably didn't come out for days and when she did, she turned badly. I would walk passed a door and she would come out claws blazing. She cut me up terribly for 2 years, I so nearly gave up. However, a dear friend reminded me of her circumstances and encouraged me to keep going. It took 2 years for her to learn to trust but she really was the most beautiful and loving cat of all times. It took another year for her to snuggle next to me in bed and probably another year to go under the covers. To make a long story short, In the end she would come on call, roll over on command, use a dedicated toilet of her own instead of a kitty litter tray, jump into my arms on call. We learned sooooo many tricks together. She is long gone now with old age, but I have the memories of the best cat ever. Don't give up on them, they are truly worth it when they finally realise they are safe now.
Bless you for working with a cat that truly needed to learn to trust again.
@LS-mp7co thank you.
And when memory of the attack and pain dissipates.
A lot of people don’t realise that animals can have trauma too. It comes out in the only ways they know how to communicate and unfortunately that can often include fear based aggression even towards the ones they love. She never stopped loving you through that whole experience, she was just scared (but I’m sure you knew that). Well done for persevering, I’m certain she was so grateful to have someone who gave her the time and space she needed to heal and become herself again :) thank you for loving her❤️
@saltyfroots9 she was so very loved. I was fortunate to learn so much from her too.
You saved that dog's life.God bless you and that beautiful dog
This is what a human angel looks like.
My dog had epilepsy and it damaged his brain so much that he focused on shadows all the time he could never relax. He went from a dog that could confidentially do an obstical course first time every time to a dog who i couldn't even touch. I spent tens of thousands of dollars on treatments and he had to be under anaesthesia to just have a vet check😢. Last year at four years old he crossed to the rainbow bridge. I am so glad this doggy was able to find some peace because i would have done anything to be able to cure mine
Took in a rescue that had been kept in a kennel all day for 8 years. He wasn't aggressive, but he didn't like me. It took 2 years before he jumped on my lap. Great relationship with him now. I've had him 7 years.
God bless you
That must have been an amzing feeling when he got on your lap for the first time.
I adopted a 6 months old stray cat. Took weeks before she let me touch her. Months before she would let me pet her and not walk away. After a year she would lie beside my leg at night and i could pet her for an hour or two. Now, 5ish yrs in, she will let me pick her up for about 20 seconds and she is a snuggler on a daily basis. She just started laying half her body on my chest at regular basis. The past years she only laid on my chest 2 times, wich was right after I got home from a 3 day trip....
There has been many "first" experiences with her that felt AMAZING! It feels like being told a secret declaration of love everytime.
@@JokerInk-CustomBuilds Animals are awesome. Even the somewhat feral ones that take longer to build trust.
I had exactly the same problem with my rescue dog. Same biting, growling and going round in circĺes.She needed her Adrenal Glands emptying! She was a lot better afterwards and over time she has become a very affectionate little dog and adores me.
I think you mean anal glands. My dog has to have that done also.
No, can't be adrenal glands! Do you mean anal glands? Two very different glands.
@@Arete37 I was just about to say the same thing
Adrenal? You can't empty those. Possibly the anal glands?
Story of the month, this is! Beautiful, and left us quite emotional. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. 💕
Two years with a snarling biting dog? Wow. Glad he helped them!
Well, she could pass the time playing fetch though
The owner is a patient saint. Learned something new, was curious why and how he'd fix this. Things like this is what RUclips should be for.
I agree. I enjoy learning all sorts of things on YT.
At 2:58 the dog is giving the "I love you" face so she obviously likes the lady, just scared of her hand.
I suspect that the dog was hit about the head and face and why it took this long to rehabilitate her. Many people discipline a dog by swatting it in the face.
I almost cried! Thus beautiful woman unable to interact with Boots had so much patience!
I used to have an old cat. She was one of those playdough cats you can just do what ever you wanted to and she would purr away. When she died I was gutted. By chance I found a 6 month old kitten at the local shelter, who looked alot like my old cat and although she was feral born and scared I felt like I had to take her home.
She turned out to be very hard to tame. At this point she is 4 yrs old and I still see progress in how she trusts me. She is a snuggler at this point, but she is alot more independant than my old cat. She will not let anyone pick her up. My point is, I also felt for this lady, because grieving my old cat and not being able to touch or calm my newly adopted kitten for weeks was a gutpunch. -On the other hand, the gratification and love you get in return from the hard work and patience is incredible in its own way!
Almost? How could you not?
The lady is a saint. Poor terrified dog.
Wow, that woman is incredibly kind, very compassionate, she didn’t give up on Boots.
I can't believe she put up w/this behavior for TWO YEARS.........that lil pooch should thank her lucky stars!
How beautiful for her to be able to pat her dog after 2 years. Graham you are the best.
She put up with this dog for two years. Thank goodness Boots got the help she needed, because she did turn out to be quite a sweet dog. I hope it lasts.
Two wholly unnecessary years because of an owner who hasn't a clue about understanding dogs - along with most posters here. She shouldn't be praised but rather blamed for allowing that dog to spend 2 years (about 10 human years) in misery.
@@achitophel5852 Honestly, most people don't know. I am not a dog owner myself, so I have no personal idea what to do. But, I have seen several agressive dogs that seem to have problems relating to people who were adopted during Covid. I have literally stopped going for walks at certain times of the day in my neighborhood because the dog owners can't control their dogs. They don't want to pay a trainer and don't know what to do on their own.

She doesn't hate if only she can talk your heart will break
Yes pets can have ptsd etc too.
I didn’t care for the word “hate” in the title. This dog does not “hate” anyone.
I love this lady’s laugh and disposition.
I like this man. This is the first video I’ve watched. Someone like Cesar Millan would have back the dog in a corner until she gave up. Cesar would consider this a “calm, submissive state”, but no, it’s just the dog shutting down. This man was able to flip the switch in the dog’s mind, offering her a better way to be. I really like him.
Nine....that's rubbish. Some dogs need to have the switch flipped. A reboot, if you like.
A 'shut down ' dog will never behave normally again. None of the dogs Cesar treated were shut down.
@@madwhitehare3635 right. Thats why Junior, Cesar’s dog that he raised from puppyhood, bit a person, bit another dog, and eventually killed another dog. Cesar couldn’t even train his own dog correctly, but sure, listen to his advice. That makes sense.
@@madwhitehare3635 You can put a dog into submission and it will probably 'behave'. But 1) "a shut down dog will never behave normally again": where did you get that? the 'give up' state will end once the dog sees a way out 2) (but even after a way out) it will keep the scarfs inside from that moment and the stress and fear with it 3) which is not only awful for the dog, but also dangerous because one day it will come out in a bad way 4) I think you missed some Cesar episodes, I've seen enough of them with dogs shutting down 5) finally: not only is it unnecessary cruel to mistreat a dog who's already in pain, stress,... especially since there are much better ways, it also destroys the trust of the dog in his owner, who is supposed to protect him and such goodbye the bond between them
That dog is almost like my rescue, mine bit me, and was really upset after it. Worst one was when he bit through the nail of thumb. He passed away in march. And I’m still looking where he is before moving. But the beautiful thing is that he died in my arms, the last 5 minutes of his life, he decided he could trust me. I miss him so much.
What a lovely lady! Two years of snarling and biting could not have been easy. Somewhere in this little girls past she was slapped. Pain was all a hand meant to her. Well done for caring enough to stick it out.
What little girl?
@@alexandraayeone1470 the dog 🙈🤷
My rescue terrier was the same for two years ' the spinning and no touching. He loved rough play and long walks. He slept on the bed with me though. After about 4 years he would sometimes snuggle up. Now aged 13 he's a delightful companion
Wow, that's amazing! How incredibly patient & kind u are to persevere with your terrier! 🫂
A wonderful lady. Very caring and patient.
This women has the biggest ❤️ I've ever seen she deserved the miracle that happened to her dog.
This almost brought me to tears. So lovely. I hope the woman and her dog will have many years more to spend together.
She's a Middleton strain working Lakeland terrier. We have them, but ours are loveable happy family dogs who have never growled or bitten us ever. Someone has teased or treated her very badly in the past or she's been kept in a pack and not handled at all, and so doesn't trust anyone! They are very clever and quick to learn, thank goodness you got some help!
Debbie is obviously a responsible, caring dog owner. So of course she would have had her dog checked out by a vet already. No need to pretend you know better than her in the comments.
people aren't pretending to know better, it ISN'T personal, they are trying to help
This seems like a medical issue - a typical aggressive dog would not turn and go in circles after themselves like that. I was wondering if her back or tail/bottom was injured and causing her pain, and maybe touch made it worse, perhaps even just in the past, so she learned to fear being touched. I hope she has had a good vet exam. I’m so glad her owner took her in despite her problems. Poor little dog.
Something neurological is going on...
Actually this is surprisingly common obsessive behavior that can be resolved through the method if Dog Listening/Amichien Bonding. But always the first thing is to have the dog thoroughly vet checked.
Not at all. It's behavioural. And Graham, a real expert, recognised this immediately. It's why it was so easy to fix.
As a physio, it struck me that the dog had been injured by a human and had experienced severe pain. Hence the loving eye contact but no direct physical contact allowed. How sad for the little pooch. Thank heavens for Debbie.
This is just your normal maladaptive coping behavior as a response to fear. You can see how it switches on and off seemingly random until you actually figure out the trigger.
This man is the ultimate dog whisperer. The lady who took on this dog and kept giving him love for two years despite only receiving hostility in return is a saint among women. I'm so glad the meeting of these two people had such a wonderfully happy outcome!
Wow she is a very compassionate lady. I love animals but i think even i would find that challenging. For two years before she got help too. Hats off to her, what a kind lady 😊
Reminds me of my Zeb. He never snapped at me but he didn’t want to be petted or loved on. He was born feral and I had him almost 15 years. I know he loved me in his own way.
❤
One of our cats is standoffish, but over seven years, had warmed up to me. When I go on work trips, my spouse puts barriers on all the seats except the one beside him. The cat decides to sleep on the cold hard floor instead. 😹
You are kind Boots has been through terrible trauma somewhere
Please ask your vet if your dog might have a neurological disorder called hyperesthesia, with an increased sensitivity to the general senses. The symptoms include: heightened sensitivity to touch, slight pressure or temperature . Some muscles, especially the in the back and the tail area may “ripple”, the dog may “circle” and attack his own tail. This disorder can be successfully treated with gabapentin. Please describe your pet’s behavior to your vet. 0:48
gaberpentin is trash with many serious side effects
Keep looking
One of the dog's teeth is really yellow, as well. I'd get a vet to check for dental issues.
I knew a dog like this. The nerves in its docked tail were close to the surface. Even a breeze would send him off.
The dog snaps without bring touched.

Two years?? God bless you greatly.
This lady is a true animal lover!
I've seen a dog like that and its behaviour was a result of psychological trauma. A dog psychologist came and worked with it for three days and it calmed down and began to heal. It bit its own tail so badly that it had open sores and was bleeding all the time
Why are you referring to a dog as “it”? That’s weird.

My neighbours are going through something right now and they started letting their old cat outside all day, everyday and it seems lonely.

I don't think the cat is offended that I call it cat. The cat is my little buddy.
@@valeriemcdonald440 I was talking about usage in German. Cat has a generic female form in German and there is a distinct word for male cat which has a male form. In both cases, the pronouns are "she" and "he". People who talk about cats as "it"s are uncommon as well, simply because it's wrong grammar. Same in french btw.

It has to be said, these are two wonderful,people that I would be proud to call my friends.
I had a similar experience as this after my two dogs passed away from old age health issues, I adopted a 4 year old rescue and who had a traumatic life and didn't know how to play, go for a walk , never new love or kindness etc. big difference to my previous dogs , after years of teaching, love and patience he got all that and more and it was so rewarding for me to see the change over time, it really broke my heart when he went to the rainbow bridge unexpectedly from a stroke. All animals need to be given a chance for a better life 🙏
She was probably extremely abused😢
You're a good angel❤
What a wonderful and kind hearted woman. So glad she had this break through after all her patience and love. God bless her and her furball ❤❤

I had a JR who was like this...I got him at 4 months of age and lived with him and his bad moods for over 13 years. We did come to some level of agreement, but he was never the dog I would have loved to have. Luckily, I had a second JR who was the love of my life. He was diagnosed as being reactive and fear oriented, but nothing really worked. I could never bring myself to euthanize him but he was very difficult. He hated people, other dogs, children, I could go on....I don't think I would do that again. Kudos to this woman for taking her on!
Dogs brains are very sensitive and can be psychologically damaged easy. But also with professional support they can switch their brains back on track again. This was very beautiful. Thank you for helping her and not giving up. You are beautiful also. May you and Boots snuggle and enjoy those lovely cold nights.
What a fantastic lady. I couldn't have coped with those behaviours. Graeme is a genius.
This woman is an angel
Can you imagine what was done to this pup before? 😡😡😡
Not necessarily. Dogs can have mental disorders just like people. Many don't know that.
@@SelmaAymara Exactly. She is most likely just maladapted and evolved self-defeating behaviors to her fears, or even games. I had a Jack Russell, and his aggression was all a game. Maybe hers just got out of hand, as she did insist on play. Glad she is healed.
@@SelmaAymara I wish it had been mentioned where this Lady's friend got her (ie Rescue? free giveaway... etc ).... or had as Puppy?
I forgot to add in my comment that it's no different to a human with an issue they just need a little help sorting out then everything is OK, beautiful, simple - not simplistic! - thank goodness there's a difference. You are a beautiful person to take this darling doggie with unresolved baggage and to then get her the help she needed. Thank you, for seeing past her "issue/s", loving her anyway, getting her the help she needed. You have saved this sweet soul's life. You are a wonderful woman. ❤😊😊
It took our rescue dog approximately 3-4 years to really recover and relax and stop being aggressive, stressed and afraid.. He still has his issues, but we enjoy our time.. It takes a lot of patience... Bless you lady and gentleman.... All broken can be fixed ❤
Wow, Debbie is so patient and kind.
Awee bless her she's so lovely so glad she has a lovely ownerxx
How she put up with that dog for so long astounds me. That woman is a saint.
There are some really beautiful people in this world and she is one of them.
Thank you for not giving up....and look at how things worked out!! Some folks commented the dog would be gone...that is sad.
Mister Pumpkin, what a sweet mummy.
She definitely saved this dog's life!! Her patience and love are obviously endless ❤❤
