There is no possible way this dog was "really good" for grooming with a different person. Nova seemed to hate the whole process, not you. I think previous groomers were not entirely truthful with the owner.
Lol, I'm sorry, but did you stretch before making that reach? "This dog" was not a complete terror compared with some of the other dogs we've seen Vanessa groom! She was just behaving like the typical melodramatic Husky! She was moving around a lot, nipping a little at the hose, being vocal... but that is nothing compared to the dogs who have to wear huge muzzles to prevent them from biting! Maybe *you* have a different definition of what a "problem dog" is if you truly believe normal Husky behavior equates to "hating the whole process" and "other groomers MUST have been lying about how good she was". Next time, just save the rest of us our time and energy, and preface your post with an acknowledgement that you just want to bitch and be judgemental of complete strangers, because that's really what you're doing.

10:25 that's an explanation. Too many people have dogs nowadays, and not many of them know how to discipline a dog a train it to be obedient. The owner is probably another semi-lonely stupid dog mama or papa who tells everyone that their dog is great a few seconds before the dog bite unprovoked.
Legit though this dog is so smart. Notice how she *knows* where she's restrained and the anchor points of the groomers helper. She starts pawing/nibbling at the points where the lead attaches to the table. I haven't really seen this in other dogs on the channel, they usually just struggle/pull against the leads rather than try and release the anchor points. She also now has a personal vendetta against the handheld dryer 😂 Girl is too smart for her own good!
Those beautiful blue eyes hide a clever devil. I'll admit to calling my husky mix dumb all the time, but truly, he's way too smart for his own good. Just a lot to handle, but the husky love makes it easier!
This dog maybe smarty compared to the average, which are stupid, like my sisters Boston. The huskies and malamutes I have been around are not anywhere near the intuition and pattern recognition speed of border collies and heelers. This may not be true, but every husky I have interacted with came off as more high strung than the average dog.
@@cale115 it's not a competition, just an observation 😅 and every dog is different. My neighbour had a golden retriever, who are supposed to be somewhat smart since they're hunting dogs, who was dumb as rocks and didn't know how to fetch (or retrieve) 😂
Nova was watching your every move Vanessa . You could see her figuring you out and what you were going to do next ! Very intelligent . Had a hate for the dryer like nobody's business though !!
I have 2 Huskies and my youngest one loves to be brushed, he lays down and falls asleep then you just flip him like a pancake and brush the other side. Thr oldest one is completete drama, he hates everything about the grooming.
Huskies are amazing dogs and very smart. Too smart and very dramatic. I've been around them and they can be quite loving and extremely vocal, which also is one of the things I love about them and shows how intelligent they are because that is how they are telling and expressing to you their feelings about things they don't like. They argue. Lol
If "awwooo" were spoken words, you would be crying from the verbal attack. While we sit in our homes, giggling at the antics of yet another diva husky, let's all take a moment to applaud the care, patience, and never wavering commitment taken to give this gorgeous girl a bath and dry. Sometimes, I don't know if the dogs need a sedative or you need a Valium.
The side eye she gives you at 5:41 is hilarious! Maybe she wasn't in the mood for a groom. Or her previous groomers just cage dry her. She is gorgeous and a drama queen. Great job, as always. Your patience and concern are top notch.
I always warned the groomers that my Maddie did not like water and she might climb the walls. They always told me she was really well behaved and I would be left wondering if I was being told the truth.
this happened with my dog too! she absolutely hates water and is so big that it’s basically impossible to control her. she’s not aggressive or anything but she just can’t stay still. we finally found a groomer that was close enough because she also hates cars and he told us she was one of the most well behaved dogs he’s seen 💀 my mom and i were both like “really???”, but she does really like him.
Sometimes animals mellow out when they're in an unfamiliar environment with the smells of other animals. My mom has a demon cat, Lilith, who I'm convinced has a neural imbalance (mainly cuz Mom's other cats and every other cat she's ever had have been super chill). At the vet, Lilith turns into a lump and will allow anyone to do whatever they want to her 🤷♀
our husky wasnt really a husky - he hated the cold, despised the snow, avoided rain, was HUGE for a husky (about 85 lbs), hardly ever vocal, never howled, was a perfect angel for grooming, bathing, drying (he would just sit there with a dejected look on his face), but the _feet_ ... even with Mr Angel Dog, it took both me and my sister holding him and basically me having to learn how to be a contortionist in order to clip the nails of a dog who refused to get his paws off the ground. i just started treating him like a little horse and had better success with that 😆 miss you every day, baby Bear. 💙
My husky sounds the same but she’s quite small and loves the snow (on the rare occasions we have any in the uk), I have to get my dad to hold her while I clip her nails as fast as possible lol
I do not have a normal husky either 😂. We say hes broken..he does not try to escape, only talks when we are going to take him out, digs holes in the middle of the pen
I'm a retired groomer. I clearly remember how long it takes for those scratches and bites to heal! Watching your videos brings back memories. Some pups I miss and others are remembered for their "quirks'
For 12 years we were owned by a husky that looked SO similar to Nova! They are such drama queens... and yet... we loved her like no other. Thanks for the great memory jogger
I love the fact that you mentioned the groomers that say "your dog behaved really well": I don't believe that with my dog!!! So you just explained something really important for me. My dog was diagnosed with severe anxiety when he was 4 months old, HE IS A PROBLEM... but the groomers have always said to me that he is well behaved 😂 I love your comments. They are always helpful
It took some time but Nova eventually decided that the occasion required a husky aria. She certainly is a stunningly beautiful dog. Nova also has a very handy left jab. Hopefully, her lasting memory will be the jaunty dash around the garden that she had.
For me, the funniest and most enightening part was when you showed how non-scratchy that slicker brush is. It's amazing how dog's reactions can fool us or others: Sometimes, they are stupendously good at hiding their very real pain. Other times, they throw a fit before we touch them with something that doesn't even hurt. 🤷♀️ She is just gorgeous!!! 😍 I hope that one day, the dryer and Nova become better friends. 😂❤🥰
Totally! My husky mix screams when he sees the nail clippers, well before you even touch him. Last time I clipped his nails, he was so busy screaming he didn’t even notice the actual nail trim. 😂
Really grateful for all those safety tools you've got, as well as your instincts re: when to use them and when to quit. Nova here could have easily hurt you or herself if she weren't comfortably restrained or was forced past her limit. Thank you for being so patient with her and sharing these grooming "fails."
I took my dog (Husky) to PetSmart to get groomed and I was told he didn’t like the table so I brought him home only having a bath and half a dry. They didn’t do anything else. I told my mom I didn’t care how much it cost I would bring him to you. (I live in the US so a good distance away) but honestly seeing this video made me really wanna take a trip to Canada. You are truly an amazing groomer and it’s obvious how much you actually care about the animals you groom. Thank you for sharing your videos and being an actual good person,
One of my old grooming bosses was very much a 'never tell the owner how bad their dog is' kind of groomer so I wouldn't be surprised if the owner has no idea what's going on. Regardless, I love Nova's sass lol
My mom was a groomer and was told that as well. The idea is that the owner might not take their dog in for another visit if you tell them their dog is behaving badly. The other reason is that the owner may blame the groomer and believe it is the groomer who is bad, not their dog. Let's face it, not all groomers are saints. Some can be impatient and rough. My mom loved dogs and treated them like young children, but she worked with groomers who would get frustrated and yell at the dog or pull them by the leash to "correct" them, etc. From all the stories I heard about grooming salon mishaps and mean groomers, I decided to never get a dog that required pro grooming.
@@mygirldarby People need to start SCREAMING while advocating for behavioral training. It’s absolutely mandatory. It’s not an optional thing. Grooming is a TEAM effort. The owner needs to do their part. The groomer is simply there to perform a service- not go to war to perform said service. I’ve been involved in animal rescue for 33 years and I don’t blame groomers for losing their patience and yelling. Groomer burnout is so real and it’s heartbreaking. Can you imagine a child attacking its hair dresser? The parent teaches the child how to behave….its no different for dog owners. Idk where they genuinely got the idea it’s all up to the groomer to just deal with the dogs bad behavior. I’ve met less than a dozen decent dog owners in 3 decades….seriously a damn shame
@@xobelladonna2443 I completely concur. Dogs are wonderful animals, but I personally have only known a couple of really responsible dog owners in all my life: owners who made sure their dog was well trained, healthy, properly fed and not fat/sickly, etc. and regularly walked/exercised. And I've known MANY dog owners. The worst was one who acquired a neurotic German shepherd who had been neglected and likely abused. She was fearful, mouthy, aggressive and dangerous. I told him that he absolutely had to get her retrained, immediately, or she would bite not only his small stepdaughter but likely a neighbor or their animal, and that when that happened she would lose her life. I used to visit regularly as his wife was my lifelong best friend. I could not visit them for months because of that dog--I couldn't be in the same house with her. She was a terror. He pooh poohed me and refused to deal with the dog properly. Within less than a year she had gotten out, attacked a neighbor, been seized by animal control and euthanized. He refused to admit that he had been wrong and blamed everyone but himself.
@@mygirldarby "My mom loved dogs and treated them like young children" THIS is the problem. This is NOT a human child. it's a DOG. If you reward a dog (or a child) for bad behavior, you will get nothing but bad behavior. If you are not the Alpha, the dog is.
I always tell the owner so they can work on the behavior. If they get offended and go somewhere else, it's one less badly behaved dog on my schedule that will hurt my body 🤷♀️
I read a book before I got my 1st husky & it highly recommended taking your new puppy very frequently to the floor and playing with them with the intention of brushing & touching their tail, ears and feet. Best advice I pass on to any new pet parent! Needed for grooming at home and applying medicine when needed!! 🐈💕💕
You betcha! I have long haired dogs and I started them with a soft baby brush from day one. Just do one leg at a time or so until they get that brushing is part of being loved. Baby brush-to bristle brush- to the wonderful Chris Christianson slicker brushes. Lots of encouragement and treats. And you learn the spots they aren’t fond of and go carefully. No matted dogs in my house! I can clean ears, trim nails, brush their teeth. It’s part of being a responsible pet parent.
As a new pupper parent this is appreciated! We’re definitely trying to get our new 4 month old pup used to that stimulation right out the gate. These videos are great for a newbie like me to understand what to train for and also understanding dog body language!
I just have to say I am continually impressed by your patience and creativity when it comes to dogs who have anxiety with grooming or simply throw a tantrum. This dog takes the cake. You’ve groomed huskies before and they haven’t been this bad if my memory serves me right. Yes huskies are incredibly dramatic and you put up with A LOT. You’re amazing. Thank you for truly giving it your all to give these dogs the best groom you can for both the dog & the owners. ❤
This dog was raised by a cat. It moves just like mine. That batting paw. The only difference is that my cat's natural meow sounds like he's dying. Scared many a neighbour in the past.
I had a boarder collie mix when I was growing up that hated a bath worse than he hated thunder. It wasn't that he hated getting wet or that he hated being handled - he hated smelling like a bath. We had to keep an eye on him after a bath because at the first opportunity he would go find some dead and decaying animal and roll on it until he was satisfied with his own smell. He knew he had to put up with the bath, but he was extremely vocal about expressing his displeasure. He NEVER got used to it in 15 years.
I don't have the stomach for a Husky. I'd respond too sensitively to this howling and supposed torture. To maintain this level of kindness, gentleness and calmness in the face of this drama is commendable.
I really appreciate the patience you show with the dogs and cats that you groom. Years ago I took my cocker spaniel to a groomer that did show dog cuts. She did a nice job and I always stayed in the room to keep maggie calm for her. Maggie never bit her but she would be a little nervous and uncooperative. Well one time when I went the groomer wasn't feeling well and really shouldn't have been grooming any dog. Maggie wasn't behaving like she thought she should have and she keep saying she was gonna call the police and report her as a "bad" dog. Then before I knew it she slapped my dog across her head. I was completely speechless I couldn't believe she would do that. I cried all the way home for my sweet Maggie. I don't see you doing that I see your patience for these sweet fur babies. I'm just saying thank you for these helpless animals that you are so kind to. Keep up the good work I like watching your videos.
Nova slapping the brush away with her paw reminds me of what I used to do to my Momma when she tried to brush my very tightly curled hair. Momma had exactly 15 minutes to get the job done & then I was out of there- LOL. Only her Mom, my Grandma, could brush my hair without pulling on the knots all over my head. I guess it was because she had the same type of hair as mine, & was used to getting the job done without causing pain. I miss you, Grandma.
Vanessa you’ve done the best job you can for this gorgeous doggy, sadly the owners told you a porkie pie, and sadly this gorgeous doggy, as a puppy hasn’t been sensitised to grooming. You have done a brilliant job, gorgeous husky has lovely eyes! 🐶💕
Some RUclipsrs greatly overstate their content with the Video header. You do not do that, and it is refreshing. This was, indeed, the definition of drama. Thank you for the continued outstanding content and entertainment.
Aww, what an adorable pain in the butt! I'm glad you explained how cold + wet can affect even a cold-weather breed like a husky. Thanks for sacrificing your hearing for our entertainment, and I'm glad you're able to groom her safely.
I'm so happy to see you switch to bite proof muzzles! This one also seems to have a bit of pant room, compared to the other ones you used before! I'm sure the dogs will be a lot more comfortable in them.
Kinda unfortunate to hear pet parents get offended when they’re told their fur baby is misbehaving at the groomer. That’s such valuable information! Maybe it’s just me, but I ask my groomer every groom how my dog was and I’d be more offended if she was dishonest with me rather than telling me the truth. When my Mimi started being bad at the groomer, I asked the groomer what I could do at home to help. That’s just good parenting I think. You work at home to make grooming easier for the groomer and the dog in general.
Pet parents and fur babies - those phrases drive me nuts ! But I know I am in a minority. Either way, I love mine and I know other people love theirs now matter what terms of endearment we use.
I’m genuinely curious what Nova’s parents thought of the footage if they didn’t know that their husky do be huskying at the salon! 😂 I hope you didn’t get too beat up Vanessa 💛
@@Asm0d3u5feels a weirdly judgemental comment towards a dog. She's a dog, she has no idea why someone has taken her to a place she doesn't know, restrained her and made her feel uncomfortable for hours. I'd be pretty annoyed too tbh.
What a beautiful and opinionated dog! She definitely had ideas about what she was going to allow or not allow. You probably did more for her than anyone else would be able to. She is just a gorgeous dog.
The drama 😂 I just love the personality and intelligence of these dogs, that paw was killing me 🤣 You have so much patience and despite her valiant effort to resist her “torment”, you did a great job!
That is a very smart dog. When the groomer's helper was clipped up, and she found she couldn't spin round, the first thing she did was look at the clip to see if she could somehow undo it!
At one point, I thought she’d calm down… by the end, I see a brat… Vanessa, you’re so patient. I honestly can’t tell if you’re naturally this patient, or if grooming made you this way. Either way, you are a saint.
Again, either you have to have the patience of a saint to groom this breed OR, be ok with a less than perfect groom OR love the breed so much you can identify with all the feelings the dog has and basically see the world from the dogs point of view.
Am I the only one that felt uneasy about this dog from the beginning? She kept given the side eye in the tub. Vanessa, you are a gem. Doing the the best for the dog and yourself. ❤❤
Shes really cute the way shes giving you a piece of her mind lol always impressed with how calm you stay and the great job you do when others have not. Stay safe & keep the vidoes coming .......
Being a longtime Husky owner she had that look a couple of times and even a snarl! Gorgeous dog but she didn't want to be there today! You are the best at what you do and she was showing just how spoiled she is! Thanks for the video ❤
Loved the little block/tap dance she did during her wash. 😂❤That side eye when you told her to keep the happy hoodie on. 😆The look on her face when you said you were going to use the groomer’s helper. 🤣😂Listen sis, this isn’t your first rodeo with huskies. 😂 When I tried bathing my previous huskies, it was like wrestling a greased rolling alligator.
I love the husky breed but your videos have convinced me that I am not the right person for this dog. Thank you for all of your hard work & honest reviews. 😂
My cat is sitting next to me as I am watching this episode and she never looks at the screen but she was today. And the look on her face was who is this drama queen.😂
My groomer thanks you for these videos because before I got a husky, I watched you. And knew I needed to be ready…..he says my boy is an angel even with his paws :,)

If "awwooo" were spoken words, you would be crying from the verbal attack. While we sit in our homes, giggling at the antics of yet another diva husky, let's all take a moment to applaud the care, patience, and never wavering commitment taken to give this gorgeous girl a bath and dry. Sometimes, I don't know if the dogs need a sedative or you need a Valium.
The side eye she gives you at 5:41 is hilarious! Maybe she wasn't in the mood for a groom. Or her previous groomers just cage dry her. She is gorgeous and a drama queen. Great job, as always. Your patience and concern are top notch.
"So you have chosen death (by scatches)"
Criminal offensive side eye.
I saw that stink-eye too. If looks could kill…..
😂I noticed that too! EPIC side eye! I was laughing so hard!🤭
Best side eye ever. Poster worthy. Would love to see memes using a still shot of that side eye!!
I always warned the groomers that my Maddie did not like water and she might climb the walls. They always told me she was really well behaved and I would be left wondering if I was being told the truth.
this happened with my dog too! she absolutely hates water and is so big that it’s basically impossible to control her. she’s not aggressive or anything but she just can’t stay still. we finally found a groomer that was close enough because she also hates cars and he told us she was one of the most well behaved dogs he’s seen 💀 my mom and i were both like “really???”, but she does really like him.
Maybe they mean "well behaved considering she hates water"?
Sometimes animals mellow out when they're in an unfamiliar environment with the smells of other animals. My mom has a demon cat, Lilith, who I'm convinced has a neural imbalance (mainly cuz Mom's other cats and every other cat she's ever had have been super chill). At the vet, Lilith turns into a lump and will allow anyone to do whatever they want to her 🤷♀
My saint Bernard would do a death roll to escape both baths and nail trims. The tiny groomer told me he was angel the whole time. 😅
former dog groomer. "well behaved" means "didn't fuckin' *BITE* me and shit all over the table"
A singer AND a dancer? What a talented girl!
She was so dramatic, singing the song of her people and trying to stop everything with her paw., she is so beautiful. 💚💚
She was very comical. I love hearing a husky sing, she really wasn't having it that day!!
our husky wasnt really a husky - he hated the cold, despised the snow, avoided rain, was HUGE for a husky (about 85 lbs), hardly ever vocal, never howled, was a perfect angel for grooming, bathing, drying (he would just sit there with a dejected look on his face), but the _feet_ ... even with Mr Angel Dog, it took both me and my sister holding him and basically me having to learn how to be a contortionist in order to clip the nails of a dog who refused to get his paws off the ground. i just started treating him like a little horse and had better success with that 😆
miss you every day, baby Bear. 💙
My husky sounds the same but she’s quite small and loves the snow (on the rare occasions we have any in the uk), I have to get my dad to hold her while I clip her nails as fast as possible lol
I do not have a normal husky either 😂. We say hes broken..he does not try to escape, only talks when we are going to take him out, digs holes in the middle of the pen
R.I.P. Dear Baby Bear 🙏🏽🕊🤍 🐕🐴
@@aya9af thank you for your heartfelt wishes. it's been almost two and a half years and i still expect to see him when i get home 💔
You were CLEARLY brushing her with poison dipped barbed wire! She's dying!!! How could you!😫🤣
Her eyes are so beautiful! She looks like she’s wearing winged liner. 😉
15:30 ❤
It does!
@@vivalalirpa If only I could apply liner like she was born with it!
Her eyes are so pale that they look white. What a beautiful dog.
I thought she looked like she was wearing eye liner too. She's so pretty, but being a total brat!
I'm a retired groomer. I clearly remember how long it takes for those scratches and bites to heal!
Watching your videos brings back memories. Some pups I miss and others are remembered for their "quirks'
14:32 the way she took the handheld dryer away is hilarious..what an intelligent naughty doggy 💓💓😂..luv her and her sassy attitude
Can't be a drama queen without the drama.
For 12 years we were owned by a husky that looked SO similar to Nova! They are such drama queens... and yet... we loved her like no other. Thanks for the great memory jogger
That’s perfect! You were owned by the Husky! 2 years with my adopted boy with abandonment issues. And yes, I’m owned!!!!
8:05 "It's freezing outside" and "Home" made her perk up so hard 😂
Nova: _Yes! Send me home! Cold! Yes!_
Yes! 😂🤣
Haha, typical double coated dog! xD
She loved that snow covered backyard!
"Typical husky"
Her pawing away the blower was hilarious. Poor thing.
I love the fact that you mentioned the groomers that say "your dog behaved really well": I don't believe that with my dog!!! So you just explained something really important for me. My dog was diagnosed with severe anxiety when he was 4 months old, HE IS A PROBLEM... but the groomers have always said to me that he is well behaved 😂 I love your comments. They are always helpful
I was at a show once with the malamute nationals being held. They had all the malamutes grooming in a separate building. The noise,omg!
And iirc Malamutes are quieter than huskies. Imagine that with huskies 😂
It took some time but Nova eventually decided that the occasion required a husky aria. She certainly is a stunningly beautiful dog. Nova also has a very handy left jab. Hopefully, her lasting memory will be the jaunty dash around the garden that she had.
😊
Yes, she was so happy to be done with that groom and loved being outside running and jumping.
Her right wasn't too bad either, lol!
For me, the funniest and most enightening part was when you showed how non-scratchy that slicker brush is. It's amazing how dog's reactions can fool us or others: Sometimes, they are stupendously good at hiding their very real pain. Other times, they throw a fit before we touch them with something that doesn't even hurt. 🤷♀️
She is just gorgeous!!! 😍 I hope that one day, the dryer and Nova become better friends. 😂❤🥰
Totally! My husky mix screams when he sees the nail clippers, well before you even touch him. Last time I clipped his nails, he was so busy screaming he didn’t even notice the actual nail trim. 😂
@@suzetteemberton4368 Hahaha, I totally believe it!!!
Really grateful for all those safety tools you've got, as well as your instincts re: when to use them and when to quit. Nova here could have easily hurt you or herself if she weren't comfortably restrained or was forced past her limit. Thank you for being so patient with her and sharing these grooming "fails."
I took my dog (Husky) to PetSmart to get groomed and I was told he didn’t like the table so I brought him home only having a bath and half a dry. They didn’t do anything else. I told my mom I didn’t care how much it cost I would bring him to you. (I live in the US so a good distance away) but honestly seeing this video made me really wanna take a trip to Canada. You are truly an amazing groomer and it’s obvious how much you actually care about the animals you groom. Thank you for sharing your videos and being an actual good person,
One of my old grooming bosses was very much a 'never tell the owner how bad their dog is' kind of groomer so I wouldn't be surprised if the owner has no idea what's going on. Regardless, I love Nova's sass lol
My mom was a groomer and was told that as well. The idea is that the owner might not take their dog in for another visit if you tell them their dog is behaving badly. The other reason is that the owner may blame the groomer and believe it is the groomer who is bad, not their dog. Let's face it, not all groomers are saints. Some can be impatient and rough. My mom loved dogs and treated them like young children, but she worked with groomers who would get frustrated and yell at the dog or pull them by the leash to "correct" them, etc. From all the stories I heard about grooming salon mishaps and mean groomers, I decided to never get a dog that required pro grooming.
@@mygirldarby People need to start SCREAMING while advocating for behavioral training. It’s absolutely mandatory. It’s not an optional thing. Grooming is a TEAM effort. The owner needs to do their part. The groomer is simply there to perform a service- not go to war to perform said service. I’ve been involved in animal rescue for 33 years and I don’t blame groomers for losing their patience and yelling. Groomer burnout is so real and it’s heartbreaking. Can you imagine a child attacking its hair dresser? The parent teaches the child how to behave….its no different for dog owners. Idk where they genuinely got the idea it’s all up to the groomer to just deal with the dogs bad behavior. I’ve met less than a dozen decent dog owners in 3 decades….seriously a damn shame
@@xobelladonna2443 I completely concur. Dogs are wonderful animals, but I personally have only known a couple of really responsible dog owners in all my life: owners who made sure their dog was well trained, healthy, properly fed and not fat/sickly, etc. and regularly walked/exercised. And I've known MANY dog owners. The worst was one who acquired a neurotic German shepherd who had been neglected and likely abused. She was fearful, mouthy, aggressive and dangerous. I told him that he absolutely had to get her retrained, immediately, or she would bite not only his small stepdaughter but likely a neighbor or their animal, and that when that happened she would lose her life. I used to visit regularly as his wife was my lifelong best friend. I could not visit them for months because of that dog--I couldn't be in the same house with her. She was a terror. He pooh poohed me and refused to deal with the dog properly. Within less than a year she had gotten out, attacked a neighbor, been seized by animal control and euthanized. He refused to admit that he had been wrong and blamed everyone but himself.
@@mygirldarby "My mom loved dogs and treated them like young children"
THIS is the problem. This is NOT a human child. it's a DOG. If you reward a dog (or a child) for bad behavior, you will get nothing but bad behavior. If you are not the Alpha, the dog is.
I always tell the owner so they can work on the behavior. If they get offended and go somewhere else, it's one less badly behaved dog on my schedule that will hurt my body 🤷♀️
I read a book before I got my 1st husky & it highly recommended taking your new puppy very frequently to the floor and playing with them with the intention of brushing & touching their tail, ears and feet. Best advice I pass on to any new pet parent! Needed for grooming at home and applying medicine when needed!! 🐈💕💕
Any breed benefits from touch play! Especially playing with the toes and claws.
You betcha! I have long haired dogs and I started them with a soft baby brush from day one. Just do one leg at a time or so until they get that brushing is part of being loved. Baby brush-to bristle brush- to the wonderful Chris Christianson slicker brushes. Lots of encouragement and treats. And you learn the spots they aren’t fond of and go carefully. No matted dogs in my house! I can clean ears, trim nails, brush their teeth. It’s part of being a responsible pet parent.
I did this with my boxer mix, he used to be so adverse to having his paws touched as a puppy, but now he's 4 and he likes holding hands ^-^
If I had the ability to pin a comment, this is the one I'd pin.
As a new pupper parent this is appreciated! We’re definitely trying to get our new 4 month old pup used to that stimulation right out the gate. These videos are great for a newbie like me to understand what to train for and also understanding dog body language!
Honestly if someone think you are hurting the dog they don't watch your videos , you always put the comfort of the dog first ❤
true this dog was heinous
Nova was not having it for that groom. That paw work, singing, spinning and everything in between deserves an Emmy!
I just have to say I am continually impressed by your patience and creativity when it comes to dogs who have anxiety with grooming or simply throw a tantrum. This dog takes the cake. You’ve groomed huskies before and they haven’t been this bad if my memory serves me right. Yes huskies are incredibly dramatic and you put up with A LOT. You’re amazing. Thank you for truly giving it your all to give these dogs the best groom you can for both the dog & the owners. ❤
This dog was raised by a cat. It moves just like mine. That batting paw. The only difference is that my cat's natural meow sounds like he's dying. Scared many a neighbour in the past.
Huskies as a whole are raised by cats. Cat software on Dig hardware.
Huskies are the cats of the canine world.
Yeah I noticed that too. Ours was raised by a cat and he does the paw smacking thing too 🤣
I had a boarder collie mix when I was growing up that hated a bath worse than he hated thunder. It wasn't that he hated getting wet or that he hated being handled - he hated smelling like a bath. We had to keep an eye on him after a bath because at the first opportunity he would go find some dead and decaying animal and roll on it until he was satisfied with his own smell. He knew he had to put up with the bath, but he was extremely vocal about expressing his displeasure. He NEVER got used to it in 15 years.
Vanessa well done you !! Enjoy viewing your videos on both channels. Stay well, 👧 do your very best, know that u can.
He needed a dog shampoo that smelled like wet sheep
@@maryeckel9682 😄Bingo was particularly fond of dead bunny or 5 day old desiccated fish.
Grooming aside, that eyeliner!!!! I am properly jealous. Beautiful Nova 😍
Same
Agreed. She has the most beautiful eyes!
Me too😂
I don't have the stomach for a Husky. I'd respond too sensitively to this howling and supposed torture. To maintain this level of kindness, gentleness and calmness in the face of this drama is commendable.
I am astonished at the amount of patience you showed. Well done considering the difficulty of the situation.
"freezing cold outside?! Below ten?! HOME?!?! Yes yes yes!! Let's GOOO!" She certainly looked happy outside!
Remember Canada has Celsius scale not Fahrenheit so below ten is not below freezing
@@Bluesdriven80 it’s a dog reacting, not a human. Oh yeah, and _it’s a jooooke!_ I hope for your sake that you aren’t like this at parties. 😬
@@Bluesdriven80 Heyo. Below ten means -10C, so yes, it was below freezing.
@@Bluesdriven800°C is freezing. -10°C ...... what u think
@@Bluesdriven80 Not sure you Americans have this whole temperature thing worked out yet, lol.
She has the most gorgeous face…oh the looks you got when you walked away after putting the happy hoodie 😂😂😂
She said "catch these paws air worm!"
Fancy footwork even with the back legs 😂
I really appreciate the patience you show with the dogs and cats that you groom. Years ago I took my cocker spaniel to a groomer that did show dog cuts. She did a nice job and I always stayed in the room to keep maggie calm for her. Maggie never bit her but she would be a little nervous and uncooperative. Well one time when I went the groomer wasn't feeling well and really shouldn't have been grooming any dog. Maggie wasn't behaving like she thought she should have and she keep saying she was gonna call the police and report her as a "bad" dog. Then before I knew it she slapped my dog across her head. I was completely speechless I couldn't believe she would do that. I cried all the way home for my sweet Maggie. I don't see you doing that I see your patience for these sweet fur babies. I'm just saying thank you for these helpless animals that you are so kind to. Keep up the good work I like watching your videos.
Nova has the cutest natural eyeliner. What a pretty girl.
Nova: "Have you noticed that I'm not saying 'Good Hooman '?... there's a reason for that." 🤨
Nova slapping the brush away with her paw reminds me of what I used to do to my Momma when she tried to brush my very tightly curled hair. Momma had exactly 15 minutes to get the job done & then I was out of there- LOL. Only her Mom, my Grandma, could brush my hair without pulling on the knots all over my head. I guess it was because she had the same type of hair as mine, & was used to getting the job done without causing pain. I miss you, Grandma.
This is why my mom always kept my hair VERY SHORT!
Great memory to keep.
@@ReckFamily Same here. I didn't get to wear my hair longer than 2" until I was in JHS, & by then, I managed my own hair.
Beautiful post.
Nova: The hot air snake is biting me and stealing my fluff! The brushes are stealing my fluff! MY FLUFF!!!
She's so cute! Her happy hoody with head tilt made her look like the Big Bad Wolf dressed up as granny in the Red RidingHood ❤👵 🐺
Vanessa you’ve done the best job you can for this gorgeous doggy, sadly the owners told you a porkie pie, and sadly this gorgeous doggy, as a puppy hasn’t been sensitised to grooming. You have done a brilliant job, gorgeous husky has lovely eyes! 🐶💕
Some RUclipsrs greatly overstate their content with the Video header. You do not do that, and it is refreshing. This was, indeed, the definition of drama. Thank you for the continued outstanding content and entertainment.
She's making hundreds of thousands dollars making these shit videos what ur talking about
Makes me very grateful for the husky I groom - jumps on the table, in and out the bath, not a peep. Best girl ☺️
Aww, what an adorable pain in the butt! I'm glad you explained how cold + wet can affect even a cold-weather breed like a husky. Thanks for sacrificing your hearing for our entertainment, and I'm glad you're able to groom her safely.
I'm so happy to see you switch to bite proof muzzles! This one also seems to have a bit of pant room, compared to the other ones you used before! I'm sure the dogs will be a lot more comfortable in them.
The look on her face when you put on the happy hoodie!
Kinda unfortunate to hear pet parents get offended when they’re told their fur baby is misbehaving at the groomer. That’s such valuable information! Maybe it’s just me, but I ask my groomer every groom how my dog was and I’d be more offended if she was dishonest with me rather than telling me the truth. When my Mimi started being bad at the groomer, I asked the groomer what I could do at home to help. That’s just good parenting I think. You work at home to make grooming easier for the groomer and the dog in general.
No patience for 'your dog is a butthead and I like him/her so much', huh? bummer.
Pet parents? Please say you are not serious with that term?
i agree, it's good info to have to in order to make everyone's lives a bit easier
@vdoggydogg3922 you pick up their shit and feed them. You're basically their parents. Pah.
Pet parents and fur babies - those phrases drive me nuts ! But I know I am in a minority. Either way, I love mine and I know other people love theirs now matter what terms of endearment we use.
I’m genuinely curious what Nova’s parents thought of the footage if they didn’t know that their husky do be huskying at the salon! 😂
I hope you didn’t get too beat up Vanessa 💛
Me too! She surely be huskying 😂
The owners probably said 'she's so cute' (ugh!)
@@joanleh7445 she is cute. What do you mean?
@@mygirldarby She is VERY cute...her behavior isn't
@@Asm0d3u5feels a weirdly judgemental comment towards a dog. She's a dog, she has no idea why someone has taken her to a place she doesn't know, restrained her and made her feel uncomfortable for hours. I'd be pretty annoyed too tbh.
Give this girl an Emmy, best drama of the year!
What a beautiful and opinionated dog! She definitely had ideas about what she was going to allow or not allow. You probably did more for her than anyone else would be able to. She is just a gorgeous dog.
I love husky drama! I also love how kind and patient you are with all the animals!
The drama 😂 I just love the personality and intelligence of these dogs, that paw was killing me 🤣 You have so much patience and despite her valiant effort to resist her “torment”, you did a great job!
That is a very smart dog. When the groomer's helper was clipped up, and she found she couldn't spin round, the first thing she did was look at the clip to see if she could somehow undo it!
5:39 OMG, I've never seen a dog look less impressed with anything!
That is one epic side eye!
Good thing she can't leave reviews for services 🤣
One of my fav breeds,just adorey beautiful huskys,they are so majestic!! Awesome job Vanessa!!😇😇🥰😍
What a lovely rendition of the Blowdryer Blues by Nova the Husky.
At one point, I thought she’d calm down… by the end, I see a brat… Vanessa, you’re so patient. I honestly can’t tell if you’re naturally this patient, or if grooming made you this way. Either way, you are a saint.
Agreed!
This is why I always take my husky to the DIY place. I don't want to put the groomers through this.
She's making hundreds of thousands dollars making these shit videos what ur talking about
Again, either you have to have the patience of a saint to groom this breed OR, be ok with a less than perfect groom OR love the breed so much you can identify with all the feelings the dog has and basically see the world from the dogs point of view.
I think calling a dog a brat is a little bit wild but huskies are known for being talkative and stubborn.
LOL!!! What a SIDEEYE she gave you! But says "I will pause----for treat"
Not often that you see a side eye on Vanessa's channel - unlike Luna on the Layla the Boxer's hilarious channel! 😂
I came here to say the same…that is some EPIC side-eye.
The side eye with the happy hoody and her head down cracked me up 😂
@@wilmaknickersfit, I love Layla and Luna!.
Am I the only one that felt uneasy about this dog from the beginning? She kept given the side eye in the tub. Vanessa, you are a gem. Doing the the best for the dog and yourself. ❤❤
I felt uneasy too, I was constantly afraid that she would bite her. Vanessa is so brave ❤️
I think she kind of looks like a Disney villain.
I could never with a dog that reactive.
She's making hundreds of thousands dollars making these shit videos what ur talking about
Idky but dog eyes creep me tf out 😭 especially the side eyes
Lol she's blocking
Shes really cute the way shes giving you a piece of her mind lol always impressed with how calm you stay and the great job you do when others have not. Stay safe & keep the vidoes coming .......
Being a longtime Husky owner she had that look a couple of times and even a snarl! Gorgeous dog but she didn't want to be there today! You are the best at what you do and she was showing just how spoiled she is! Thanks for the video ❤
She is throwing a temper tantrum ! 😂 But, you are SO GOOD with these difficult dogs!
That is the most 'handsy' dog I have seen you groom. Not easy. You did a great job!
I love the attack on the hairdryer when uts just sitting there. My viszla is becoming increasingly dramatic for his baths at home namely the pawing 🙃
I bet your dog is soo pretty. I love Viszlas.
Huskies are so dramatic and I love it. 😂❤ She's beautiful. You did an excellent job with her. ❤
It's so funny - the closed captions even say "music" while she's singing the songs of her people! I love husky opera.
There’s nothing I love more than watching a dramatic husky 😂😂😂😂
Especially when they're not yours. 😂
The song of her people is a tragic one... Absolutely gorgeous husky!
Loved the little block/tap dance she did during her wash. 😂❤That side eye when you told her to keep the happy hoodie on. 😆The look on her face when you said you were going to use the groomer’s helper. 🤣😂Listen sis, this isn’t your first rodeo with huskies. 😂 When I tried bathing my previous huskies, it was like wrestling a greased rolling alligator.
I love the husky breed but your videos have convinced me that I am not the right person for this dog. Thank you for all of your hard work & honest reviews. 😂
She is a beautiful dog!!! It looks like the magical snow healed her of her ailments!! Love her!! ❤
That is so cute that she was screaming bloody murder and the moment she gets outside prancing around so happy ❤😂
My cat is sitting next to me as I am watching this episode and she never looks at the screen but she was today. And the look on her face was who is this drama queen.😂
I bet her face of judgment is really giving to. Lol.
The patience and calm demeanor of a saint! You are wonderful woman! So frustrating just watching it. But as you said, "Typical Husky." 🙂
The side-eye she shot at you Vanessa!!!! I laughed so hard I snorted my bedtime tea!
My groomer thanks you for these videos because before I got a husky, I watched you. And knew I needed to be ready…..he says my boy is an angel even with his paws :,)
