@@oualidbenak8804 Speaking of translations... why would anyone name their dog after the Japanese word for " Cat " ( Neko ) ? SMH Weaboos ISTG. No wonder this dog is so mal-adjusted.
Not all fur/hair should be treated equal, brushing the hair on your head, is not the same as pubic hair getting caught in a zipper, right? Since dogs can't tell us such things, we should watch closely what bothers them.
It's not an "act". He's not afraid, I agree with you on that. He does what he does because it is what he has learnt to do to get away from what he doesn't like or is uncomfortable with. Simple as that. But an "act", no - that is humanizing the dog. Also - he is a Malamute and should not be someone's pet, but a working dog. And he should have a coat that does not require going to the groomer's.

@@lagottessa I wonder if they are ticklish in those parts of their bodies? Or it must be uncomfortable I don't think it causes them pain, but something is def making him react like that.
@@NEbluefireAh yes, he shouldn’t have a treat to associate the grooming process with something positive. Huskies and malamutes are notoriously dramatic at the groomers ESPECIALLY for legs and paws.
Honestly, as much of a hassle as manhandling 30kg of body mass would be, having a dog shaped ragdoll instead of a dog shaped air raid siren that loves boxing is much preffered. Reminds me of our old family cockerspaniel. She was the sweetest old lady, but even after years of trying different approaches she never accepted grooming as a part of her lufe and it was aleays a 3 person job - 1 person to mind her head, catch bites, and continuously feed small quantities of treats, one person working as a body vice to keep as many of her legs on ground as possible, and the last person doing the grooming. Simple hooks and leashes on a frame stopped working years ago. I swear, that dog...
😂😂 but no actually, you sadate dogs only in extreme cases, like if you have a dog you just rescued and would start trembling and having a panick attack, or if the groom is way to long and hurtful. I remember watching desperate cases of matted dogs. This dog was just dramatic
@@samblasco2359 That said if he was going to be drugged for, say, dental work or whatever, I would certainly be taking advantage of that to clip him as short as possible!
my dog has to take gabapentin before groomings because of how horribly he freaks out. Unfortunately, some of the old groomers he used to go to as a puppy turned out to not be so great (my mom says that shes convinced one of them who talked to her when picking our pooch up was literally high. that daycare he used to go to ended up unfortunately really infamous. its a looong story though). Now, hes an old man dog with arthritis and such, so being manhandled at all makes him freak tf out. my boss (i work at the boarding kennel he now gets groomed at) told me they were worried he was gonna have a heart attack and couldnt continue grooming him, at one point. So yeah, we NEED to drug him now. He’s just too old to be acting like that.
Hahahaha! 🎶And the doggo was Paw-Fu fighting!🎶 🎶Nicco was fast as lightning!🎶 🎶And ya know he was a little bit frightening…🎶 🎶’Cause the dog he knew Paw-Fu fighting🎶🙅 Look out!!!
He was as graceful as a beached manatee. With the voice of a thousand violins being played by a banshee. Truly an Oscar worthy performance on his part.
@@DeeEllEff no, not villain or coward but a little impatient, especially for treats! he didn't bite, even though Neko tried but he only bit air for treats! Usually, dogs that really want to bite growl loud and nasty but don't whine like him. To me Neko seems like a nice scoundrel who knows what he wants... I would take a dog like that IMMEDIATELY!
I'm sure the owner already knows and feels horrible about how Niko treats the groomer this would make them feel even worse. Poor Niko, I have a Mastiff/Pitt mix who hates being groomed to the point where I have to medicate her and she's a well trained girl. I hope it gets easier for Niko
@Ahqtpie81 grooming is part of training. Getting them used to it. Unless its a rescue dog or some previous groomer hurt the dog then its completely the owners fault for not getting the dog used to being groomed and touched since a puppy
My kids and I watch all your videos! They said this one was their favorite! They laughed so hard at the sound effects when Niko was swatting you. They also said “Mama she is so good with dogs and she is always so nice to them doesn’t he know that?” Thank you for all you do. I don’t know if you hear it enough but you are an amazing person and the work you are doing isn’t going unnoticed!
Haha it is what we say in this business when we let go of a fur client. It’s way cuter to say they are unfortunately fired instead of saying they are banned.
"I don't know why our last groomer wouldn't see him again! I mean, he's rambunctious and expressive, sure, but he's just the sweetest little angel that ever there was! You'll just LOVE grooming him, and won't want to fire him even a little bit!"
I became the guardian of a 14 year old cat of questionable origin that the vet has determined is most likely a Himalayan Siamese mix. She is under weight and severely matted. I spend 2.5 hours shaving the mats. That time helped me confirm that I will never perform animal grooming beyond the most basic maintenance of my current critters. I salute you, Vannessa.
@SandraNelson063 Thanks Sandra. She actually belongs to a distant relative who is hospitalized with terminal illness, so I did it for her as well. She is a wonderful cat who is hard of hearing, so she shouts. Nothing like being shouted at by an elderly cat to get out of bed and get her food and pets. 😄
Not every trainer/behaviorist is up to the task. I've encountered situations where the dog doesn't listen despite this. Owners ask questions about what else can be done, despite going to the trainer - my answer is "change the trainer."
Not everyone adopts puppies. I inhereted two monsters. They only want hugs when outside the house, they will bite if you even try while inside. You can never touch their paws ever. Plus they cant even be in the same room as each other if a human is near. Its vicious. Yet both still somehow prefer to sleep together when your out of the room and love going on walks or herd animals together. I have them for 2 years now and I know they like me because they are so dramatic when I leave or come home, but they are terrible in most ways both to people and eachother. Sometimes you get what you get.
Know it alls. You have no clue about the breed or how well it's trained. I have seen service dogs who were the sweetest and gentlest dogs ever. Not vocal one bit go absolutely crazy in grooming scenarios. It's happened twice too my personal knowledge. So maybe don't judge when you don't know shit
@@BodieBGrooming is stressful, sure. Service dogs are meant to be able to handle very stressful, novel situations with calm and clarity. Obviously this may be more important for some types of service dogs than others (e.g. guide dogs really shouldn’t be acting up for any kind of situation), but all this does is call into question the dog’s abilities to perform their service, especially if this reaction to grooming and other stressful scenarios is a pattern.
This is how Alaskan Malamutes and Huskeys are it's what sets them apart from other dogs. Malamutes are known to be dramatic training will help but won't do much
I loved Vanessa's comment at the very end because it's exactly what I was thinking while watching this. That dog's previous groomer was right to refuse to groom him anymore.
I can't fault the dog. He didn't choose his life, it's just what we humans have bred them to be like. Clearly there needed to be breaks for Neko to calm down (if there was any, it's edited out) from the looks of the video she kept pushing him when he was giving every warning sign he was completely stressed out and exhausted. He's utterly flooded with panic, which is distressing to see. I know it was hard on the groomer, but she has the foresight of being a human that understands what going on - he doesn't. Yes, the owners should've trained him well, desensitized him ect- why wasn't he given any kind of medicine to help with his anxiety prior? It just feels cruel. Plus we have no idea what the previous groomer did, maybe he has some trauma related to that?
@@denverdubois5835yeah, this kinda nonsense is cute when it doesn’t actually cause any issues like it’s a drama trick, in this case it’s just the dog making everyone miserable and making their job harder
@@Undernewmanagment People who think dramatic dogs are "cute" have never had a huge dog punch them with a paw for real. It can be dangerous. And the dog learns that through throwing a tantrum it can get whatever it wants
I used to have an alaskan malamute when i was much younger (she passed when i was 14) and i remember needing to brush her myself because she became aggressive when i or my mother wasnt in eye sight and so we never risked taking her to a groomer. Sometimes if youre dog just cant cope you need to do things yourself and i think Neko is defo a dog that requires the same.
She sounded like a very loyal friend though. I have a feeling that spirit which people think is negative here is actually positive outside the grooming environment. Dogs weren't bred to just be pretty.
@@emmalouie1663 I agree. She/he seemed to enjoy being pet and given treats not the grooming part - I’m guessing she was hurt by another groomer obviously my mistake. Perhaps they trimmed her nails too short or cut her/him or something. Idk… just my observation. The groomer who I’ve enjoyed a lot of her other videos seemed to not have much patience and love towards the dog this particular day. Maybe the service should’ve been kept short and tried to groom the dog in intervals to get it used to trusting her as a groomer.
It’s a case of the owner being in charge or the dog being in charge, I’m guessing he’s the boss, not for everyone As a disclaimer: I’m a life member of the parent club and had malamutes in multiples for over 30 years and none of them acted like this…
@@LBB2622well unfortunately this dog has seemed to learn that he does all this people stop so he continues this happens too often you got lucky that no dog you’ve ever worked with was like that cause it’s a lot of work for groomers like her
Have any of you thought he could actually be in pain? I know this breed is stubborn and needs a lot of training, but watching him my first thought was, the poor dog could have some underlying health issue with his legs
I understand why Vanessa doesn't want to groom this dog again. It clearly needs training. So many people own difficult dog breeds and don't know how to manage them. It's quite irresponsible!
@@zzzbbbooo No pet groomer has to put up with your dog just because you sucked at training him. Grow up, if you can't make your dog behave then try a more friendly breed.
My Husky was 100% full drama with the mouthing and kicking. Thankfully never a true bite or nip but he would mouth while screaming; kinda funny actually. His daughter, 1/2 chocolate lab and 100% oops(long story), has all the screaming and drama and kicking but hides her face and turns into a screaming bread loaf. 😂 Huskies ❤
No. If you look at a few comments here, you will see that other Malamute owners say Nico acts exactly like their dog. What are the odds that their dog just happens to act exactly like Nico? Did these dogs have the same groomer? Sorry, but a lot of it is innate. Certain breeds have certain characteristics. For example, German Shepherds act like loons at the groomer. Huskies sing the song of their people and freak out, a lot like Malamutes. I could go on, but breed has a lot to do with temperament. You may like to think you are totally in control and have trained angel dogs, but you probably like a certain breed that doesn't act this way, or you got lucky. I learned this after thinking I had trained my black labs to be wonderful angels and I housetrained them all within a few weeks tops. Then I got a papillon. She was SO STUBBORN about house training. I never gave up. It took one entire year to train her not to go in the house. She had to be watched 24/7 and be behind gates when not within eyeshot. She was quick too. It was a test of will. One whole year later and she finally learned. She finally told me she had to go out. And I learned...little dogs are very hard to housetrain. I never judged another person for not having a perfectly housetrained dog again. Little dogs also protest with their teeth when you do something to them that they dont like, btw. I was shocked. I know now that breed has a lot to do with temperament and I wasn't the expert on training dog angels I thought I was. Black labs are just born angels. 😊
@@mygirldarby You wrote a whole essay....but it still comes down to the fact that this Malamute needs training. They are a stubborn breed, but they can still be well behaved if the owners take socialization, training and desensitization seriously when the dog is young. No breed should be acting like this - this dog has obviously never learned patience or how to deal with situations it doesn't really like. I doubt this dog listens to commands it doesn't want to do.....and thats a problem. Like children, dogs need discipline - this behavior isn't cute once the dog is full grown. NTM without the muzzle, it could have bitten her multiple times in this video.
As a vet tech, I’d say this dog could greatly benefit from oral sedatives, like trazodone, before a grooming appointment. It would make him more manageable and less stressed. I hope they talk to their vet about it.
I went into this video with the mindset of “Every dog deserves a chance, even ones who act out because of anxiety or fear, bless his parents and Vanessa for giving him a chance!” Very quickly realized that wasn’t the vibe. What a drama llama 😂
Yeah -- opera indeed. 😂 I'm betting it's the canine version of "Nessun Dorma" (Italian for "None Shall Sleep"), because dang! That howling version of "Vincero!" ( I will win/conquer) was very convincing, and would keep anyone awake! 😂😂 Disclaimer: Yes, I know the story behind the aria. 😜 I was attempting to be humorous with it. I am only adding the disclaimer just because there is someone in the comments with a cob up their rear ends, being uber-serious (I will not mention any username specifically), and I have zero desire to do battle with that one. People like that are heckin' exhausting. 🙄
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 Now you say it I can hear the similarity. Neko is the malamute Pavarotti! 😂 Sadly not everyone can just take a jokey comment for what it is. I've made lighthearted comments about Star Wars on other channels before and oh boy does that bring some miserable people out of the woodwork! I just reply to them with more jokes (often of the Dad variety) to try and cancel out their negativity.
@@swanronson173 I'm a Star Wars nerd myself. Not to the point of having collectibles on my wall, or seeing every film made -- because budgets exist. 😅 But I can make jokes about SW and yeah, it brings all the stick-up-the-arse types to the yard, because how dare I call myself a SW nerd and make jokes about it at the same time. 🙄🤣 And "Malamute Pavarotti?" 🤣🤣 Nice! Mind you, Pavarotti was a master of his craft, but I will admit, there are other tenors whose voices and performances of that aria that I prefer.
Seriously, MAD props to you Vanessa for handling this amount of work with a very stressed out dog!! Commendable is not even a good enough word for your dedication 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Ive never seen a dog act like this. Im so grateful we dont get breeds like this. Too dramatic, loud and just..uhg. im sure they can be lovely dogs, but people need to train them. We had a Rottweiler and she was beloved by every groomer she ever went to. She had short fur, but we liked to make sure her nails and fur was kept healthy. Loved every groomer she went to and was loved in turn. Miss her.
He is gorgeous! I lost my two Malamutes within the last year, one to old age and the other one to cancer, and I wish I could find a breeder here in South Africa as the only other alternative will be a VERY expensive overseas puppy shopping trip.
What I've learnt from this channel: every week someone else is handling my puppy without me i the room. He's getting his feet and legs touched every day until he's fine with it. I don't have a puppy but have been theoretically training all my 35 years. Before I watched your videos I thought I'd be fine with socialising here and there, but seeing a dog like this makes me understand how important it is to teach your dog that discomfort/displeasure is no excuse to whine or misbehave. Huskies being cats, they don't count cause I'll never get one living in the city of couse. But my first dog will definitely behave better than this or I'll never show my face again
Famous last words! Huskies are great but need lots of exercise especially running and they need their brains worked out loads. It is possible to have one in the city. We run ours on the bike and hope to have him pulling a kick sled next year. He has a big attitude and a permanent side-eye so of course we adore him.
I know nothing about dogs but i trained my cat to tolerate leg and belly touching. this is part of medical training so the cat at least knows that humans sometimes touch their belly. If i manage to teach my cat ppl surely will manage to teach their dog with enough effort, right? Are Huskys so difficult to train?
Instead of shake count i think he needs slap count. Slapped at dryer, slapped at the house and slapped at you 😮 i have had such wonderful cats and dogs but Neko is reminding me why it’s okay to go without for a while.
We got our Anatolian Shepherd from a high kill shelter in Texas. He was one or 2. They didn’t know. He HATES water. Idk what happened to him but he’s 2 years so far with NO BATH. He’s surprisingly pretty clean with brushing. You don’t know if he was injured or hurt at another place. A dog of ours wouldn’t stand for long. We found out later she had osteosarcoma. You just never know. You did an awesome job! Thx for your patience. ❤
Screw you, I am in a mountain hut, it is past 10 PM (aka silence time) and your comment made me SCREAM with laughter. If I woke people in the neighbouring rooms, it's on you.
Don’t want to demonize the owners since we don’t know their story but someone didn’t put in the work to socialize/desensitize this dog. I completely see why he was “fired” from the other groomer.
Well everyone does have different budgets for pets. Every dog is different to o degrees of personality. And also there's "groomer deserts " in some areas , where the service just isn't available in that city. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. At the end of the day we don't know the owners .
@@grimmick9446 still can desensitize your dog by bathing it at home, blow drying it at home, cutting its nails, touching its paws as a puppy, etc. all of which were clearly not done with this dog.
You have absolutely no idea whether that is true or not. I had a dog who we did all that with and she still went ballistic at the groomers so you cannot possibly blame the owners when you have no idea.
@reaganbutler1577 You probably are right because everything seems to be freaking him out, but sometimes I feel dogs do just react poorly to certain things. My brothers dog freaks out if someone touches his nails. Everything else is fine washing and drying his feet. Trimming the fir. Grabing his ears or tail. Messing with his food. Hes chill. Touch his nails though and he panics. He doesn't get aggressive but just trys to run away. He only lets my brother trim them. Yes he has had it done since he was a puppy at home, and at groomers or/and vet.
@@reagan.butler do we know Neko's history because there's the chance that he got adopted by his current owners a bit later in his life. You're right that he probably never got desensitized though

I can only think of him and that wild dog on “This is the Most Aggressive Dog I’ve ever touched” that she said she can’t do again.
He knows the song of his people.
And he is going to sing it loud and proud.
He knows ALL the songs of ALL the peoples.
And he is intent on making everybody in a 5 block radius hear it
That was the remix 😂😂
Not the song of his people, more like the album of his people XD
This is why you should teach your puppy to get used to any kind of touches as soon as possible
Not every trainer/behaviorist is up to the task. I've encountered situations where the dog doesn't listen despite this. Owners ask questions about what else can be done, despite going to the trainer - my answer is "change the trainer."
Not everyone adopts puppies. I inhereted two monsters. They only want hugs when outside the house, they will bite if you even try while inside. You can never touch their paws ever. Plus they cant even be in the same room as each other if a human is near. Its vicious. Yet both still somehow prefer to sleep together when your out of the room and love going on walks or herd animals together. I have them for 2 years now and I know they like me because they are so dramatic when I leave or come home, but they are terrible in most ways both to people and eachother.
Sometimes you get what you get.
The sound effects when he whacks the dryer made me lol
That got me too.
The slapping the dryer was it for me..he’s the most dramatic one I’ve seen yet ! I couldn’t tell who was more determined, Vanessa or Niko
I laughed right out, for sure
Those owners have A Lot of work to do!
Yup that dogs going to bite someone
Know it alls. You have no clue about the breed or how well it's trained. I have seen service dogs who were the sweetest and gentlest dogs ever. Not vocal one bit go absolutely crazy in grooming scenarios. It's happened twice too my personal knowledge. So maybe don't judge when you don't know shit
@BodieB go get a juice box sweetie.
@@BodieBGrooming is stressful, sure. Service dogs are meant to be able to handle very stressful, novel situations with calm and clarity. Obviously this may be more important for some types of service dogs than others (e.g. guide dogs really shouldn’t be acting up for any kind of situation), but all this does is call into question the dog’s abilities to perform their service, especially if this reaction to grooming and other stressful scenarios is a pattern.
This is how Alaskan Malamutes and Huskeys are it's what sets them apart from other dogs. Malamutes are known to be dramatic training will help but won't do much
He’s calling every wolf within 500 miles❤

This video had all the drama of a telenovela complete with dramatic slaps to the wind machine of death!
He would play the lead character on "Days of our Dogs"
I loved Vanessa's comment at the very end because it's exactly what I was thinking while watching this. That dog's previous groomer was right to refuse to groom him anymore.
Yep. This dog needs extensive work with a (re)trainer. Some people seem to think this nonsense is cute?! Yeah, no.
I can't fault the dog. He didn't choose his life, it's just what we humans have bred them to be like. Clearly there needed to be breaks for Neko to calm down (if there was any, it's edited out) from the looks of the video she kept pushing him when he was giving every warning sign he was completely stressed out and exhausted. He's utterly flooded with panic, which is distressing to see. I know it was hard on the groomer, but she has the foresight of being a human that understands what going on - he doesn't. Yes, the owners should've trained him well, desensitized him ect- why wasn't he given any kind of medicine to help with his anxiety prior? It just feels cruel.
Plus we have no idea what the previous groomer did, maybe he has some trauma related to that?
The traniers can refuse to take him on too . They aren't miracle workers
He isn't a puppy or young dog
@@denverdubois5835yeah, this kinda nonsense is cute when it doesn’t actually cause any issues like it’s a drama trick, in this case it’s just the dog making everyone miserable and making their job harder
@@Undernewmanagment People who think dramatic dogs are "cute" have never had a huge dog punch them with a paw for real. It can be dangerous. And the dog learns that through throwing a tantrum it can get whatever it wants
He is singing his song at the top of his lungs and boxing at the same time. Truly talented and he is giving the huskies a run for their money.
I used to have an alaskan malamute when i was much younger (she passed when i was 14) and i remember needing to brush her myself because she became aggressive when i or my mother wasnt in eye sight and so we never risked taking her to a groomer. Sometimes if youre dog just cant cope you need to do things yourself and i think Neko is defo a dog that requires the same.
She sounded like a very loyal friend though. I have a feeling that spirit which people think is negative here is actually positive outside the grooming environment. Dogs weren't bred to just be pretty.
@@emmalouie1663 I agree. She/he seemed to enjoy being pet and given treats not the grooming part - I’m guessing she was hurt by another groomer obviously my mistake. Perhaps they trimmed her nails too short or cut her/him or something. Idk… just my observation. The groomer who I’ve enjoyed a lot of her other videos seemed to not have much patience and love towards the dog this particular day. Maybe the service should’ve been kept short and tried to groom the dog in intervals to get it used to trusting her as a groomer.
Ah yes, Malamutes...give them an inch, they'll take 50 miles. Looks like he learned misbehaving gets him what he wants.
It’s a case of the owner being in charge or the dog being in charge, I’m guessing he’s the boss, not for everyone
As a disclaimer: I’m a life member of the parent club and had malamutes in multiples for over 30 years and none of them acted like this…
@@LBB2622well unfortunately this dog has seemed to learn that he does all this people stop so he continues this happens too often you got lucky that no dog you’ve ever worked with was like that cause it’s a lot of work for groomers like her
@@ShinyUmbreon106 because I bathed my own dogs and they were all trained from puppyhood to Stan and bathtub or on a table
Have any of you thought he could actually be in pain? I know this breed is stubborn and needs a lot of training, but watching him my first thought was, the poor dog could have some underlying health issue with his legs
@@vaw796 Some dogs just hate their legs and feet touched. In tact males also want you to keep away from their junk.
"This haircut looks like crap but it matches his personality" i cant 😂
I understand why Vanessa doesn't want to groom this dog again. It clearly needs training. So many people own difficult dog breeds and don't know how to manage them. It's quite irresponsible!
A dog can be adequately trained but then be afraid of situations like this, for goodness sake. Irresponsible comment, actually.
@@zzzbbbooo Then I suppose it cant be taken to a groomer. Because no one is going to put up with that.
@@zzzbbbooo No pet groomer has to put up with your dog just because you sucked at training him. Grow up, if you can't make your dog behave then try a more friendly breed.
@@zzzbbbooo he was readily taking treats and was fine with her when the tools weren’t there. It’s an act. 😂
@@michellestr8998they paid to do it and can refuse if they’d like. But if they accept it, then they have to deal with it.
My parents had a Malamute, Dakota. He was a sweet boy. He LOVED getting brushed; he usually fell asleep.
We had a half malamute, half black lab when I was a kid, and she was a good girl.
I loved your boxing match sound effects-the “end of round” bell and the smacks, all perfectly edited into the video.
"This haircut looks like crap but it matches his personality" Meanest thing I've heard her say
As with huskyes, Malamutes can be either real gem, sweet and adorable, or real drama queens...
Or all of the above
@@denisehoffmann5006 true. I have 2 eskie/siberian mixes that are perfect angels... until they see the brush... then they run!
100%
@@denisehoffmann5006 Often at the same time.
My Husky was 100% full drama with the mouthing and kicking. Thankfully never a true bite or nip but he would mouth while screaming; kinda funny actually. His daughter, 1/2 chocolate lab and 100% oops(long story), has all the screaming and drama and kicking but hides her face and turns into a screaming bread loaf. 😂 Huskies ❤
Everybody was kung fu fighting, lol. (The blow dryer segment). 😂😂
Those paws were fast as lightning
@@amethyst_cat9532It a little bit frightening.
But they fought with expert timing

when he does his high pitched long howl, it reminds me of the theme for the good, the bad and the ugly lmao
Not the "ding ding ding, smack smack, smack" 🤣😭🤣😭 these sound effects are amazing
"Please don't come back again' 😂😂
This is really learned behavior. He has taught his groomer to do what he wants. Nice to see you teaching him differently!
No. If you look at a few comments here, you will see that other Malamute owners say Nico acts exactly like their dog. What are the odds that their dog just happens to act exactly like Nico? Did these dogs have the same groomer? Sorry, but a lot of it is innate. Certain breeds have certain characteristics. For example, German Shepherds act like loons at the groomer. Huskies sing the song of their people and freak out, a lot like Malamutes. I could go on, but breed has a lot to do with temperament.
You may like to think you are totally in control and have trained angel dogs, but you probably like a certain breed that doesn't act this way, or you got lucky. I learned this after thinking I had trained my black labs to be wonderful angels and I housetrained them all within a few weeks tops. Then I got a papillon. She was SO STUBBORN about house training. I never gave up. It took one entire year to train her not to go in the house. She had to be watched 24/7 and be behind gates when not within eyeshot. She was quick too. It was a test of will. One whole year later and she finally learned. She finally told me she had to go out. And I learned...little dogs are very hard to housetrain. I never judged another person for not having a perfectly housetrained dog again. Little dogs also protest with their teeth when you do something to them that they dont like, btw. I was shocked. I know now that breed has a lot to do with temperament and I wasn't the expert on training dog angels I thought I was. Black labs are just born angels. 😊
@@mygirldarby You wrote a whole essay....but it still comes down to the fact that this Malamute needs training. They are a stubborn breed, but they can still be well behaved if the owners take socialization, training and desensitization seriously when the dog is young. No breed should be acting like this - this dog has obviously never learned patience or how to deal with situations it doesn't really like. I doubt this dog listens to commands it doesn't want to do.....and thats a problem. Like children, dogs need discipline - this behavior isn't cute once the dog is full grown. NTM without the muzzle, it could have bitten her multiple times in this video.
@@mygirldarbyi love defending biting and pawing! ❤
@mygirldarby If an entire breed can't be trained properly, then its unethical to keep breeding it.
"good boy, you did it... Okay stop it." Killed me
As a vet tech, I’d say this dog could greatly benefit from oral sedatives, like trazodone, before a grooming appointment. It would make him more manageable and less stressed. I hope they talk to their vet about it.
Never ceases to amaze me how you are as patient and tolerant as you are brave and tenacious.
gotta be ready and able to deal with pets like these if you're gonna work with them almost every single day.
I went into this video with the mindset of “Every dog deserves a chance, even ones who act out because of anxiety or fear, bless his parents and Vanessa for giving him a chance!”
Very quickly realized that wasn’t the vibe. What a drama llama 😂
I love how, even after all the drama, when it is over you're all friends again.
Holly crap 😅😅 he deserves an Oscar for this Performance 🤣🤣🤣 Vanessa, you are soooo patient. 👍🏻🙌
He deserves an Oscar, and Vanessa deserves a Purple Heart!
Oh my god I had to switch to headphones from speakers so that my neighbours don't think I'm slaughtering animals in my flat
I see Neko is skilled in art of paw-fu, he really took the fight to the flamethrower and sang opera at the same time.
Yeah -- opera indeed. 😂 I'm betting it's the canine version of "Nessun Dorma" (Italian for "None Shall Sleep"), because dang! That howling version of "Vincero!" ( I will win/conquer) was very convincing, and would keep anyone awake! 😂😂
Disclaimer: Yes, I know the story behind the aria. 😜 I was attempting to be humorous with it. I am only adding the disclaimer just because there is someone in the comments with a cob up their rear ends, being uber-serious (I will not mention any username specifically), and I have zero desire to do battle with that one. People like that are heckin' exhausting. 🙄
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 Now you say it I can hear the similarity. Neko is the malamute Pavarotti! 😂
Sadly not everyone can just take a jokey comment for what it is. I've made lighthearted comments about Star Wars on other channels before and oh boy does that bring some miserable people out of the woodwork! I just reply to them with more jokes (often of the Dad variety) to try and cancel out their negativity.
@@swanronson173 I'm a Star Wars nerd myself. Not to the point of having collectibles on my wall, or seeing every film made -- because budgets exist. 😅 But I can make jokes about SW and yeah, it brings all the stick-up-the-arse types to the yard, because how dare I call myself a SW nerd and make jokes about it at the same time. 🙄🤣
And "Malamute Pavarotti?" 🤣🤣 Nice! Mind you, Pavarotti was a master of his craft, but I will admit, there are other tenors whose voices and performances of that aria that I prefer.
The sound effects with the boxing match finished me 🤣🤣💀⚰

He takes the term "drama king" to a whole new level but what a handsome dog.
People need to be gently playing with paws and ears from early puppyhood and never stop. So unfortunate.
I also took my pup into the bathtub when I was taking a bath and laved him with warm water
People need to NOT get massive dogs (or any other size for that matter) if they can’t do simple/basic training with them… 🙄

Such a drama queen lmao
The way he slaps the dryer
Ive never seen a dog act like this. Im so grateful we dont get breeds like this. Too dramatic, loud and just..uhg. im sure they can be lovely dogs, but people need to train them. We had a Rottweiler and she was beloved by every groomer she ever went to. She had short fur, but we liked to make sure her nails and fur was kept healthy. Loved every groomer she went to and was loved in turn. Miss her.
My dog just left the room to hide under a table
I had to laugh, many of his whines were like the opening film music to The Good the Bad and the Ugly. 😂😂😂😂
My thought exactly. I sang along with him.🤣

Waa Waa Waa?
Waa Waa Waa Waa
Waa Waa
OMG you’re right!! 😂😂
I thought he sounded like Tarzan!
I started going WAAH WAAH WAAH after each one, thank you.
That dog has never been made to "settle" in his life.
Exactly
You have so much patience. I would never allow this behavior, especially on my own dogs.
This idiot isn't her dog
“Don’t paw my face cause I have stitches” 😭 lolll the service and dedication!
Omg, I didn’t think anything could top the hilarity in your grumpy cats videos. The sound effects were perfect. 🤣
Good grief girl! He's about four handfuls! You are such a trooper!
I love the ‘Fluff off Karen’ neckerchief 😂😂
Where did he learn to box? World class champion.
Rumour has it he’s replacing Tyson in the Jake Paul fight
Omg the sound effects! Chef's kiss!
He is gorgeous! I lost my two Malamutes within the last year, one to old age and the other one to cancer, and I wish I could find a breeder here in South Africa as the only other alternative will be a VERY expensive overseas puppy shopping trip.
What I've learnt from this channel: every week someone else is handling my puppy without me i the room. He's getting his feet and legs touched every day until he's fine with it. I don't have a puppy but have been theoretically training all my 35 years. Before I watched your videos I thought I'd be fine with socialising here and there, but seeing a dog like this makes me understand how important it is to teach your dog that discomfort/displeasure is no excuse to whine or misbehave. Huskies being cats, they don't count cause I'll never get one living in the city of couse. But my first dog will definitely behave better than this or I'll never show my face again
Famous last words! Huskies are great but need lots of exercise especially running and they need their brains worked out loads. It is possible to have one in the city. We run ours on the bike and hope to have him pulling a kick sled next year. He has a big attitude and a permanent side-eye so of course we adore him.
🙂
My sweet summer child ;)
I know nothing about dogs but i trained my cat to tolerate leg and belly touching. this is part of medical training so the cat at least knows that humans sometimes touch their belly. If i manage to teach my cat ppl surely will manage to teach their dog with enough effort, right? Are Huskys so difficult to train?
@@sonia-lu2rn god bless that you've got the energy for that. No reason to get offended because you're an exception to a rule 😊
I‘m baffled by your dedication, Vanessa! Great job not giving up!
"WELL THIS HAIRCUT LOOKS LIKE CRAP BUT IT MATCHES HIS PERSONALITY." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Girl, that burn! xD
Instead of shake count i think he needs slap count. Slapped at dryer, slapped at the house and slapped at you 😮 i have had such wonderful cats and dogs but Neko is reminding me why it’s okay to go without for a while.
The slaps had me crying.😅😅😅
I counted 16 that landed and 1 more with sound effects but not landing. Lol
We got our Anatolian Shepherd from a high kill shelter in Texas. He was one or 2. They didn’t know. He HATES water. Idk what happened to him but he’s 2 years so far with NO BATH. He’s surprisingly pretty clean with brushing. You don’t know if he was injured or hurt at another place. A dog of ours wouldn’t stand for long. We found out later she had osteosarcoma. You just never know. You did an awesome job! Thx for your patience. ❤
This Malamute has clearly been trained to be the owner of his owner.
I actually watch these videos so that I avoid this as much as possible with my first dog (can't get a puppy first go around).
Or has not been trained at all…(
@@ИринаСергеева-ж5еit’s that and he’s learned to do anything to avoid being groomed dogs are smarter then you think
Those sound effects are perfect! It remined me of the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys TV series.
I find it hilarious when the dog and cats are so vocal and the reactions and comments.
Neko makes Huskies look like Zen masters...
True 😂😂😂
Screw you, I am in a mountain hut, it is past 10 PM (aka silence time) and your comment made me SCREAM with laughter. If I woke people in the neighbouring rooms, it's on you.
😂 malamutes and huskies are so dramatic lol the sound effects of him hitting made me laugh too lol
With his singing, Nico is basically like a male version and a canine version of Queen of the night. Lol.
That dog was so loud my cats asked me to turn the volume down
I hope the camera man was wearing headphones too
It's like watching someone fall; I LMAO'd & I'm sorry, Rosie - I mean _Vanessa_ .🤣💜🙏
Don’t want to demonize the owners since we don’t know their story but someone didn’t put in the work to socialize/desensitize this dog. I completely see why he was “fired” from the other groomer.
Well everyone does have different budgets for pets. Every dog is different to o degrees of personality. And also there's "groomer deserts " in some areas , where the service just isn't available in that city. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. At the end of the day we don't know the owners .
@@grimmick9446 still can desensitize your dog by bathing it at home, blow drying it at home, cutting its nails, touching its paws as a puppy, etc. all of which were clearly not done with this dog.
You have absolutely no idea whether that is true or not. I had a dog who we did all that with and she still went ballistic at the groomers so you cannot possibly blame the owners when you have no idea.
@reaganbutler1577
You probably are right because everything seems to be freaking him out, but sometimes I feel dogs do just react poorly to certain things. My brothers dog freaks out if someone touches his nails. Everything else is fine washing and drying his feet. Trimming the fir. Grabing his ears or tail. Messing with his food. Hes chill. Touch his nails though and he panics. He doesn't get aggressive but just trys to run away. He only lets my brother trim them. Yes he has had it done since he was a puppy at home, and at groomers or/and vet.
@@reagan.butler do we know Neko's history because there's the chance that he got adopted by his current owners a bit later in his life. You're right that he probably never got desensitized though
With the muzzle on he sounds like when you move your hands randomly in front of a theremin. 😂
Perfect description 😂
