St. Bernard Sent Home From Salon Within 5 Minutes | Owner Helps Me With Huge Difficult Dog

"I'm attaching him to the tub" (tub glides across the room) "I'm not attaching him to the tub"! Perfect comedy.

Got surprisingly emotional when his guardian held him while you shaved him. Could see how much calmer he was with him and that speaks to how much he cares for him. I'm sure he feels so much better now.

When the owner said "I can take a cut” tho 😭 Dude willing to sacrifice his hand to get a mat outta his ear. Boy you're a lucky dog.

Vanessa, never apologise to us viewers when you don't get a groom done! We're just amazed by how much you do with such difficult clients.

“This dog is sedated”. Also, “you can’t jump the fence “. And you are remarkably patient.

I appreciate the owner being active with trying to get his dog cared for and realizing she’s working within the limits of what the dog can handle at the moment.

I always laugh at the way you talk to your "clients". "Sir! You may not exit." But I love how patient you are with them all, even when they outweigh you (almost).

Poor guy. You do so great with all the pets that have issues. He might be huge but that bark was saying... "I'm just a baby"

In my many years of rescuing Saints in my humble opinion this guy needs puppy socialization classes at a good all breed training club. He is a great dog that just needs guidance

lesson to be learned here: get your puppy groomed as soon as possible, especially such big dogs. Nothing of course Chewie's owners every dog has different circumstances and he looks very well taken care of.

I knew a Saint Bernard once who was the most laid back gentle giant (200 lbs, no fat) you could possibly imagine. He would have been a groomer's dream dog, but we took care of him ourselves and he never had to go. He loved being poked, prodded and manhandled, so going to the vet was a big treat for him. At the vet there were always other animals to try to make friends with, even if bully-dogs went strangely silent and huddled up against their owners after taking one look at him. Most dogs leave the vet's office like they've been shot out of a cannon, but this one didn't ... there was a nice cool tile floor in the air-conditioned waiting room, and on a hot summer day he'd sprawl out and refuse to move. He had two barks: a high-pitched "I want attention" one, and a deep roar that sounded like an angry bull when he was defending the house. That dog was a special friend, and I loved him dearly.

I admire that you don’t like to give up until the job is done. He needed to have the mats and nails done and you found a way.

This reminds me of my pup . He was a great pyr but was a big baby. He was afraid of wood floors, allowed our cats to run the house, and hated thunderstorms and water. Never grew out of it, but never bit anyone. I would just chase him around our deck with soap and water for an hour and i had to wear a bathing suit because he needed hugs for reassurance throughout the whole thing

A 160 pound beast barking loudly in First Soprano. Maybe VANESSA needs the Happy Hoodie!

I have never EVER seen a groomer work so hard. This was an exceptional treat to watch. Your DETERMINATION and diligence in helping that dog --- despite how scared he was (big baby!) _ is commendable and remarkable! Thank you for this piece of art. DV

If EVER there was an example of needing to start grooming as a puppy, this was it! (Someone else below said socialization classes. Amen to that as well!)

“I’m attaching him to the tub.” …. Tub easily moves with the dog…..”No I’m not.” I bursted out laughing. Vanessa, you are such a sweetheart, so passionate about what you do, in wanting to make dogs and cats feel better……to take on a dog twice your size! 🥰

What a big baby with a baby bark!! He needed his owner so bad, even sedated he was a difficult guy, hope he can get used to grooming over time. You have such patience!

I have never seen a St. Bernard act like that. They are normally so calm & agreeable. If you are going to have a dog that big, you better make sure it's very well socialized, handled & trained.

When getting a dog, it's so important to be aware of the grooming needs of your potential dog and whether it is something you can manage. I have two cairn terriers. I wanted to keep their coats natural and coarse. Groomers who hand stip are very rare here in my area of Australia, so i knew it would be something i would need to do. You tube and Facebook groups showed me how to do it. It's my responsibility to make sure that they're well cared for, and grooming is a part of this.
