    Honestly LOVE how Vanessa interacts with the dogs. From singing to the dogs about how big of a whiny baby they are, to politely informing the dogs that their behavior is very unnecessary. ALWAYS go to a groomer or any pet professional really, who talks to the animals like this. 10/10 times they’ll be good to your animals and fun to work with.

    Hi Vanessa, you probably won't read this now, but I just wanted to share this with you;
    I visit an elderly man in my town who has no family. He enjoys watching your videos with me. He was a commercial cleaner for 40 years of his life, inc. Hospitals and Veterinary Clinics 🤓
    He insisted giving you some tips that might speed up your Post-Furnado routine:
    -place a plastic sheet or tarp over your bathtub to prevent the hair flying in. Shake outside.
    -brushing the "furry wall" first is a great idea, even better with a soft rubber-bristled brush. Hair really adheres to it & so easy to clean
    -as for the sweep-up in the beginning, here's a direct quote from Bill:
    "Geez, I'd be taking a leaf blower to that lot!" 😂

      I agree w cleaning the walls 1st. I was taught that you always clean from top to bottom to avoid having to repeat steps. It's logical since dust, hair, dirt, etc goes down to the things beneath it, including the floor. But to each is their own. I do appreciate her disinfecting everything afterwards.

    We had a Pyrenees and I would collect his fur post brushing and put it out in the spring inside a cage that was made to hold suet cakes for birds. Birds would collect it for their nests. I started doing it after seeing them collecting his shed fur laying about in the yard. Many a baby bird was warm and snug thanks to my poppers shed fur.

    Although not really a German Shepard himself, this boy reminded me of Diana, a German Shepard I’ve had years ago- and how she loved to shed everywhere, no matter the time of year :)) thank goodness she was a short-haired one.
    She was a lovely dog, the kind you have once in a lifetime, and we got her by accident, too. Me and my parents were on a walk, saw a man walking with this gorgeous young German Shepard.
    We just passively said ‘that’s a beautiful dog’ to which he explained that he was on his way to put her down- the seller he got her from said she was a miniature or smth, and his home was too small for her- we didn’t really intend to take her, but we also thought it’d be a shame to just let her die. We asked how much he’d want for her, the man simply responded with ‘give me money for a bus ticket home and a beer and she’s yours’. We gave him an equivalent of £10 (roughly the same dollar wise) and had a new family member for the next 15 years.
    She really was one of a kind. We were simply meant to see her that day :)

    I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos with the larger dogs. I had a Female Rottweiler for 12 yrs. Shes since passed. Im just super partial to large dog breeds. I am now physically disabled and cant take care of a dog the way they deserve to be. So, I watch your videos, they're so great!

    I started watching this while cuddling with my lab and pittie. As soon as Zues started whining they became so concerned and began looking around the room looking for this distressed doggie. And whining along with him in sympathy. So i guess ill be watching this later.

    Love your videos... I was a cleaner/lead hand in a hospital for years and used extendable mops(wall washing wands) that made wall washing/ floor washing so much easier...not as much bending kneeling and stretching...the wands have removable heads/mops/ pads that are machine washable...they can be purchased at janitorial supplies stores...a good investment that will cut down on your clean-up work...there are also wands that have a soap/liquid bottle attached...🐕

      I was gonna say -- Vanessa works hard enough on these precious doggos that give her the Furnado treatment. "Work smarter, not harder" is something I adopted from my very brief attempts at factory work. Got the advice from a 2nd-shift foreman. Any way I can shorten my work time or make a physical job easier on a funky lower back, I will. 😅

    A good reminder that yes, animals might react because they're animals and they might be fearful/not understand, but there may also be an underlaying cause for it (such as the possible sore on the tail) and it behooves us to always check and make sure there's nothing else going on (which may help inform how we approach handling any animal). Thank you for the education on how you clean your shop afterwards - it's really informative and I'm sure will help many of us know what to look for to make sure the pet professionals we're considering working with are checking all the boxes.

      @@victoriaadams3318 das ist leider nicht so ganz korrekt und das ist der Grund: Es ist wichtig zu wissen, dass Elsässisch nur ein anderer Name ist, den die Briten vor dem Weltkrieg verwendeten, um die Hunderasse des Deutschen Schäferhundes zu bezeichnen.

      I have a Shiloh Shepherd. They were developed in the late 80"s and the King Shepherd was a split from the Shiloh. The Shiloh on average is a bit bigger. My boy is 30.5" at the withers and is 130 lbs. King Shepherd went the route of putting more shepherd into the mix and Akita, the Shiloh didn't go the Akita direction. Shilohs look more wolfie while the Kings are more german shepherd looking. Both are gorgeous rare breed dogs. Mine just gets mistaken for a wolf all the time, and also a bear. 🤣 But I feel the pain of the groomer, furnado is an accurate statement.

    Your shop cleanup routine reminds me of when I worked for a german bakery, because it had a daily cleaning routine that was similarly physically intense. After a hard day of work, you have to put in the time to clean everything up when you're already tired. Then again you'll never have to go to the gym!

    Re overtrimming nails: one of my favorite dog walking memories is a pit lab that I had out on a very cold, icy day. She started favoring a forepaw and I saw a bit of blood on the ice. I assumed she had cut her foot on the ice but I found out later her owners had gone too short on the nail. Anyway, at a loss for what else to do, i took off one my gloves and tied it loosely onto her foot with a new poop bag. I thought she'd shake it off and get upset at it flapping around; much to my surprise she was totally happy with it and it stayed on for the whole walk! She never favored the foot again the whole way. I wish I'd had booties for her but in a pinch what I did worked and I imagine she was very happy to have someone notice and solve her problem. ❤

Which is endless… 😊

    Several strips of double sided tape and a high thread count bedsheet might save you some wall scrubbing. When the day is done you can pull the sheet down and shake it outside / launder it, and then you won't have to spend as much time de shedding the wall before disinfectant.
    If that works, you can replace the tape with velcro strips and sew the corispondant side into the sheet.
