So I live in a house with a dog that suffers a very similar situation. It is mostly the breed but yes the way it was raised determines how severe that behavior is. Humanity kind of bred a neurological disorder in that particular type of dog. They're considered a ratting dog. Basically terriers and schnauzers are merciless at hunting down rodents. They're two types of every breed of dog working line and show line if you ever buy from a breeder always make sure you know the difference but you are not that fortunate to be able to pick when you get a mixed dog

Or maybe that's just a really shitty dog..?

​@@pralayaryanNot all small dogs are like that, and having a dog since a puppy doesn't mean anything if you don't correctly train and socialize them. You can literally see more videos on her page of small fogs that behave normally without being sedated and she herself has two pomeranians that are not aggresive. They also said in the video the dog was a stray and a rescue and if you pay attention for two seconds you'll see this dog isn't simple agressive, it's TERRIFIED.

@@pralayaryan He's a rescued stray. You're real confident in saying nothing bad happened to him, huh?

Didn’t realize that. Poor dude. He must’ve had a rough life at some point 😭

I hope she got to know exactly which muzzle that was to get one of her own since the dog seemed to accept it.

​@@LittleRedLemon04I am sure Vanessa told her. I suspect he has a negative memory associated with the first type of muzzle.

@@LittleRedLemon04 either they cant/ its harder to pant with the second type of muzzle on. Not meant to be worn for the whole groom or the dog will overheat :( would need a loooooot of breaks

Holy cow I was shocked when she said the dog was sedated!!

I think the same My family in law has a Yorkie with that behavior and he definitely needs groom

She kind of just did 😊

I hate that there are people in the world that would hurt a animal. Animals are so innocent and deserving.

Animals are dying in Ukraine, all the information is in my profile

Or try and help the poor animals

Some dogs should be put to sleep. All biters should.

@@emhu2594very close minded response, most dogs like this have suffered abuse of some kind, and their responses are a learned behaviour to keep them safe, if you can help these poor animals you should.

@@emhu2594The same thing could be said for the people who abused this dog before he was rescued. Some people DON’T deserve pets.

@@emhu2594 If this was a bigger dog then no doubt it would be put down by now. i KNOW that a smaller dog can't do as much damage as a big dog, but they can cause still cause open wounds and injuries on a person. Obviously correcting this behaviour can take a long time but if the animal is seeing no improvement after a while then it should just be put down for the safety of others and it's own well being. yes i know this dog is scared, im not that oblivious to that fact, and yes most of the time behaviour like this CAN be corrected, but not always, therefore some get put down for their own benefit and safety of others , this is because you cant give the dog the best life if its living in constant fear and you cant actually go near the dog. other hand this dog doesnt need to be put down as the behaviour was seeing improvement so this dog has a chance at living its best life not being scared.

@@moobean exactly thank you!!! I rescued a dog from a very similar situation and he was far from aggressive! He was the most loving funny and adorable little dog I’ve ever had he was my best friend and I wouldn’t have ever traded him for anything I miss him so much.

Exactly!!! And he had to be in fight or flight mode for far too long!!!! Persevering in such conditions doesn't look kind to me! Kindness would be several short visits - not enough profit in that!!! Glad she won't have him back!!!!

You are on the money there, this isn't a bad dog, it's a frightened dog with some terrible habits

Agree, and it's so sad that this has happened

@@margaretmcgregor5686 Vanessa does not charge her clients anymore.

I agree, but the twisted love being shown to him by rewarding him every time he attacks is disturbing. This dog will never recover if praised for attacking everything he does not like in the name of "oh my poor little doggy is so scared I better praise him for attacking so he feels better"

Who hurt you should never be a joke anytime just using empathy😊.

@@bouchecaldwell330 gonna have to disagree. Voice inflection should make it obvious which manner it's being asked. I ask my cats this all the time because I've had them since they were kittens. However, I never ask my dog this because I got her from a shelter when she was estimated at 2 years old so it's very possible she went through something. There are few men she trusts so idk if she was hurt by a man or what her deal is there.

Don't use it as a joke. It's passive-agressive.

Groomer here. he actually may not be traumatized. Some dogs have MASSIVE reactions to grooming if they were never trained or exposed to groomers as puppies. Small dogs, especially, tend to be more tempermental. On average, while I was still working, smaller dogs tended to have more issues. People assume that because they're small, they either dont need to be groomed at a young age, dont think about it, or just think they will be easy to groom as adults. A lot of owners do not know how to properly train their dogs either. It could very well be that this dog was traumatized, but in my experience- usually the aggression is due to no exposure as a puppy with an extreme reaction. Often times when dogs reach adulthood and are like this, it can be very difficult to retrain them.

@@xxKuroKajixx true true! I find it really annoying when people don't feel the need to actually RAISE and train a small dog breed because it's small and “my little princess can't even hurt you” but the dog is going through life feeling a lot of stressful reactions and their bites can absolutely still hurt. Also grooming them too. I feel like they think little dogs are soley supposed to be cuddled, fed, and that's it.

Watching this video, I realize that it's possible he was spanked or even sxuallly a'd given how he cannot even tolerate having his backside touched. Poor dog.

​@@de341f6You should be a detective. Projection much?

@@TheHungryPigeon I volunteer in an animal shelter here in Southeast Asia. We see it often that they have these reactions because of trauma. Kind of like how some dogs do not want to have their nails clipped because they were injured before.

This is sad. I wonder why the dog doesn’t want to be touched.

@@MsCellobass since he was a stray he was probably abused in the streets or his previous owner

It seems that something happened on/from his right side --- scissor trimming on his left was OK, but he attacks when trying to trim the right.... That's MY $2 worth... (Inflation is hitting us all).

It looks like the owner doesn't take care of the dog or itself.

@@brownshoeblues2014 vanessa said in the beginning that the owner tried to find a groomer for the dog for a year but 4 people turned him away. she is doing everything she can for him.

You guys are really a godsend. Because every dog deserves a second chance.

He's trying to rip her to pieces?

The more groomers said no the more thankful would the owners be if you managed and also a more fun challenge.

But she won’t groom him again either.

@@tx_gal6518 - Honestly, this is probably one of those rare times only a vet should groom him. Vets aren't groomers. You can't always expect the most beautiful haircuts, but having mats kept under check IS a health concern, and a vet office can safely provide the anesthesia he may need. She got him shaved down enough where the owner may possibly be able to handle his haircare from there, especially since she showed the owner some tricks to cutting his hair. That was amazing, and I wish the poor dog and her owner all the best!

@@edmis90 No. Not a given at all. Some people fly higher than us lot and everything is their due. Take a "special needs" dog but can't bother to do anything by themselves. What do you expect ? If she 'd tipped a 20, we'd heard about it. What we hear is : NO MORE ! Let the fun challenge be for the owner to get her fingers out of her ass and try the DIY way. She would have done a minimum before if she wasn't as entitled as her dog thinks it is.

​@@tx_gal6518 but she was also the only one that helped teach the owner what to do

This right here! You're absolutely right. That's what I love about her, she's incredibly ethical when it comes to the care of these animals.

@@janineivey03121Poor guy hasn’t been groomed for a year. Dont you think after 4 groomers, this owner was advised to do the grooming themselves? Pure laziness

@@krislv9219wow. So quick to condemn when you know absolutely nothing about the owner, and her experiences with the dog. Maybe think things through before you decide to judge someone you know nothing about. THAT’S laziness.

@@krislv9219 There's a possibility that they mentioned it offhand and never actually taught her how or gave her any pointers, but there's also a pretty likely possibility that the groomers didn't mention it at all. (Maybe they were lazy or inexperienced or they didn't think of it or they were just shaken up from the dog's intensity and forgot to mention it). Hence, why I was impressed with how calm and responsible Vanessa was for following through with the owner and actually showing her how to do it properly.

I dont think he could relax until momma came in. He has to see her and hear her.

@@pattiwhite9575 yes, for sure.♥️

Dog metabolism burns thru meds pretty quick already. Add his increased heart rate from fear & that med burned off n the first few minutes. Also, it was a med given by the owner so not as strong as what would b given at the vet 🤷

@@pattiwhite9575nope. I doubt he ever will

@@animeaunty Unless much different for you, it's pro to pro or pro to owners. Americans sure like their drugs but the groomer gave what she thought "appropriate" to no avail. One more reason to think the owner is not up to snuff. Sure, Americans start drugging children in kindergarten if they pay enough. Why would the drug not act in the reasonable dosage known to professiionals ? I invite you to reflect on facts. First of all, why would a volunteer groomer signal this dog ?

and the vision of chicken nuggets ;)

She's his whole world.

She's done a poor job of teaching him trust and respect.

@@Kindisbetter if anything pippin calming down when he sees her means the opposite. The dog is a rescue, god knows what pippin had gone through with previous owners or what had happened. Doesn’t always mean the owner did a poor job

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Kindisbetter​​⁠ You have no clue what this dog has been through neither did this owner. To say she has done a poor job of teaching him trust and respect is incorrect. You can't teach trust and respect to him or to a human child that has been horribly hurt somewhere in their short life. You show love and affection over and over, you keep it up they learn to trust you, not respect you just trust. Pippin showed his owner love and trust his person who loves him he trusts her. I work with children that have been abused trust and respect please. It is love, consistency and hope that one day they will love you back that's where it starts.

Def. Pupper’s likely been abused/neglected/abandoned or maybe was a feral. There’s always a possible chance he has some horrible medical condition/injury, or had a fine upbringing/health, but horrible breeding background. A human is likely at fault somewhere along the line. I’m not saying to neglect precautions w/ him, or unprovoked aggression is okay, but that the belief of a dog being evil for no reason is likely extremely rare.

Disagree. If you watch Cesar Milan and "The Dog Whisperer", he shows how to handle and tame an aggressive dog. He is fond of explaining that the dog isn't the problem; the owner is the problem. Some dogs are simply spoiled rotten. Not abused, but spoiled and never given the opportunity to socialize properly.

​@quinnahrose I agree, it looks to me that his whimpers sound like pain of some sort. I wish they would give more details on him. It's easy to judge with this video... He's overwhelmed too. There is so much more to this baby we don't know. I wonder if he has an account so we could follow him.

So, it's trauma, trauma, trauma, the groomer said the same. And, them she said, this type of dog is strong willed and hyper. So which is it?

@@danpress7745It can be both trauma and strong-willed/hyper.

Maybe he was attacked or challenged by a larger, or better fed dog, and he barely escaped and the loud buzzing of the razor and pulling is reminding him of his ptsd

Nonesense.....Pippin clearly hasn't had second breakfast before it was brought to the groomers.

@@cutiepatootie4094 yeah he was probably ragdolled by another dog or punted by an abusive person.

I’m willing to bet he was used as bait for a fight dog.

The abuser probably used to pretend to help him

I had your profile picture as my screensaver on my tablet when I was a child

Puke. Do you think bambi is real?

That understanding that it's probably something traumatic that happened to him rather than something inherently wrong is what's made the difference for so many dogs (and cats, and other animals). She has so much patience, and pays so much attention to her clients, it's really impressive.

He basically has dog PTSD.

​@@155chipmunkzMost definitely! Poor thing must have been abused before being rescued. Dogs don't get this scared without a reason 😢

100% abused, no doubt

@@155chipmunkz exactly !!! and you can't wish it away. Or talk it out with a dog. Unlike a mistreated bit-bull, he's more like a poodle, king of the house until he got his ass kicked. unlike them also, he's become vicious.

that's a good theory

This is really great point, we forget how strongly emotions can attach to objects, environment, etc. And that changing the circumstances can have a huge effect on emotion. It's funny how we know this to be true for ourselves, but don't always afford animals, most especially dogs, the complexity of their emotional experience!

The other one also went over his head a bit more and likely obscured some of his vision, but not all, so he's suddenly partially unable to see everything properly (as opposed to the more calming instincts of being unable to see at all).

Also different materials in those 2 styles. The first look like rubber or something similar & the other is more cloth. The second likely weighs less & just felt better.

Excellent Point! We often forget just how deep thinking our companion animals can do!

How do you know anyone did anything? That breed is naturally aggressive. All dogs are descended from wolves.

​@@golden.lights.twinkle2329"he is a rescued stray and we have no idea what he may have experienced that led to this behaviour" right at the start of the video. Also, even aggressive breeds who are taken care of well are extremely unlikely to be THIS aggressive, especially under sedation. Hope this helps! ^^

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329Dogs are not naturally like this. When breeding dogs we only bred the friendliest dogs and killed the aggressive ones. Dogs only properly bite someone when they are afraid (mostly because of severe abuse). Look at chihuahuas, they are abused to the point they are extremely aggressive. Chihuahuas who are in healthy environments are not aggressive towards people.

Unrelated, it's a "new lease on life".

@@annegretcoetzee5103the joke flew right over your head

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 How many videos and comments do you spam in a day?

That's actually in my experience not always true. I have seen dogs that never had anything happen to them at all be super anxious and (for example a giant kangal who basically lived in the shelter because from puppy age on as she had anxiety issues and never got a owner, but also never was treated badly.) to dogs that went through hell (animal hoarder situation were dead dogs lied between poop and blood of the dozen barely alive ones) and still were chill and trusting and friendly. I believe just as humans dogs can also have some mental issues that are not really based on anything but a chemical imbalance or so.

​​@@Vulture2k was thinking it could also just be "small dog syndrome". Meaning that his previous owners just never trained him, his boundaries got overstepped constantly with people getting in his face and trying to pet him uninvited, because he's small and cute, and he just learned to defend himself and there was never any correction. Poor lil' guy. Glad he found this kind woman he seems to trust and who is working with him.

Yes he's quite cute!

He is absolutely adorable! It is heartbreaking to think about what happened to him to make him this afraid and reactive. I will never understand how anyone could abuse an animal so horrifically that they end up this traumatized. I’m so happy for him that he ended up with a wonderful owner who clearly has a very special and close bond with him. It will always amaze me how an animal who has gone through so much at the hands of evil humans, still has the capacity to love and trust another human being again. I’ve experienced it myself with one of my rescues who was terrified of everything that exists in the entire world, inside and outside, due to her traumatic and abusive past, but she still chose to trust me, and it was one of the greatest honors and blessings in my entire life. We had ten incredible years together, where she ultimately overcame nearly all of her fears with love and patience (aside from storms and fireworks, which are normal fears for most dogs). I will forever miss her and our special bond.

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2go be a neusence somewhere else

I know so many people who have given back dogs who weren’t half as aggressive. Shoutout to this owner for her kindness - and everyone who has the heart and patience to adopt ❤ (And great work too Vanessa, I was pretty terrified for you haha!)

I don’t think she was talking to him kindly at first calling him crazy in the tone of voce that she did. She became more kind the longer she worked with him.

That goes for people too.

...no. Someone who isn't equipped to handle their own aggressive dog has no business owning one. She should have taken a hint after the first groomer refused to take her dog and learned to do it herself. Also, chicken nuggets and hamburgers are not suitable food for dogs. She is an idiot.

The owner is no angel to CONTINUE to let this dog be aggressive and reactive and have no training to correct this behavior. Poor dog!

@@Ir-of4zn The dog is obviously terrified and has probably been abused as a stray. It only makes sense that he's fearful and aggressive. A lot of trust has to build up even with other people even if the dog is in training. That's like you can't expect a person to fully trust you when you've first met them, and neither can you. The owner is very much an angel, I mean, the progress she has obviously made with the dog is unbelievable and impressive. Just give it some time and trust, stop being so negative all the time, and hope a little?

@mejava1233 I don't care what that dog history is... with the proper training, Pippin can learn to be less reactive. I do not blame the dog, but if he bite/maul someone, authorities will put him down. He has been rejected at 4 previous groomers because of his behavior. If Pippin is going to be successful, she must give him training or keep him at home. If you are a dog owner, and you know your dog has a problem with reactiveness and aggression, and you do NOT get the dog help, then you are a bad owner. This lady qualifies as a bad owner.

@@Ir-of4znhow do you know they haven’t sought out training already? They could be in the process. Training takes time and from what we can tell the dog trusts the owner so it seems there’s been some progress there. Don’t be so quick to judge

He's a cute little guy who obviously loves his mama. I hope she can get him used to grooming so he can calm down.

True, but with good care he may finally learn to trust people and transform into a friendly dog :)

​@@helenab9973 it most definitely can be done with a lot of patience and resolve. When we adopted our Belgian Malinois mix, she was terrified of most people. They're naturally wary of strangers, but she would hide behind me and shake like a leaf. It took 7 months to desenitise her, and I still warn people not to pet her (she won't bite, but she will shy away), but rather let her make the choice. It's something we'll be reinforcing for the rest of her life.

I can't even begin to imagine what this little fella went through to be this fearful. I hope he will get better one day. What a cute little guy!! Kudos to the owner and Vanessa for their work.

Yeah, the fact that he's even able to trust his owner says a lot about her. That is one terrified pup. Props to Vanessa for being willing to teach her how to groom Pippin herself. That's probably the best outcome any of them can hope for.

Sedation on small animals is really touchy. You've got a big zone of "not enough meds to have the effect you want " and a tiny little range of "just right" before you go into the danger zone of "too much." (And the "just right" dose can vary depending on how keyed up the dog is.)

@@talyrath That is why I'd really like to try sedation but there are no safe/affordable options and it's just way too risky 😢

@@3nertiamild oral sedatives like trazodone and gabapentin are actually quite safe. worth discussing with your vet.

right the little tail wags when he hears her even after being a complete demon

She will get there. One of my rescue shih tzus was like this when I took him in and I received a good few bites when grooming him at first, one of which was a bad one. Practice and repetition paid dividends though and now grooming him is a fairly stress free experience for both of us. I never even tried to find a professional groomer for him, knew he was too dangerous to expect someone else to work on him. I can't do much other than take him down to the wood, no fancy cuts from me, but it works, and that's all that matters :)

It’s mostly the breed but yes , the dog prob been through a lot

It’s not breed fault

We adopted a dog when our children were small. After we got herchome, my husband went into the backyard with a hat on. She barked and was clearly terrified of him. No hat, less fear. He tried to play fetch by throwing a stick. She flinched, ran away from him, then shredded the stick and hid it. So we figured she'd been abused by a man who wore hats and hit her with a stick. I took over all discipline with her, so all she saw from my husband was completely positive....fun, treats, love. In two years she was no longer afraid of him, and rarely flinched any more. Best dog we ever had. Protected my kids and I like her life depended on it. Just took a lot of love to overcome her fear.

She left him to a professional. Hello ? don't you think DIY is in order, for a lifetime.. and tthe dog won't always be sedated !!!

Agreed, present owner has allowed this fearful behavior...💖🐾⚘️

@@VictoriaVanHorn it shouldn't be allowed. The present owner loves this dog. it should not have been an agressive dog adopted.especially not by this person.

@@nope24601 I don't blame HER per se, just the people who can't see the benefit of culling these dogs (cute and dangerous) from the adoption pool.

Well, truth hurts.

I'd definitely agree. Whilst he's behaving aggressively, it's a fear response, he's likely very sweet. I doubt he'll ever fully trust anyone besides his owner. Terriers are highly intelligent and whoever was bad to him, whatever he went through, he remembers it vividly. That's some serious PTSD right there. I do think with a lot of time and patience and some positive reinforcement training (with extra chicken nuggets) the owner could groom him easily and safely at home. But whoever had that dog before deserves any bites they got and then some. I'd happily bite them myself.

You can see the wagging tail at some movements in the video. He’s clearly just a traumatized sweetheart

@@silversiren7046 I agree a lot, and yet can't envision this dog being ever safe with this owner. You said it : he won't fully trust anyone and the owner shows zero good points

@@FennecTECHMany wag their tail before biting. But He IS traumatised. Deeply so.

@@auntisthenes2754 I should clarify, terriers are especially prone to attachment to a single person or family. Whilst I doubt he'll ever be fully safe with other individuals, the owner saved him and, judging from his behaviour, he trusts her enough that even when terrified like this he's keeping mindful of not hurting her and calms significantly in her presence. He trusts her and, with time and work, that trust will deepen. I don't doubt she's safe as houses with him. It would be anyone else around them she'll really have to work on with him.

Wow ! Good work !

I couldn't agree more. There are so many animals needing a home. And yes sadly he must have suffered some kind of abuse., We have taken in many rescue/strays over the years. We took in parrots and one of them the owners couldn't handle without placing a towel over him. With parrots trust is the key to their well being. Over time he has turned into the sweetest and loving little guy. Please folks when you decide to get a pet check shelters, etc. 😺🐕

Ignoring the behavior and carrying on whilst still giving him breaks will show him that the interaction a) is going to happen no matter what and b) that the interaction isn't going to harm him.

Vanessa is quite simply the best.

I know- that poor baby- I’m glad he’s found a home with humans he can trust and love.

One would hope that Pippin gets better with grooming and increas trust with his owner.

Well said! 👏👏👏

my mother has the same name!

I'm guessing he suffered some trauma involving a muzzle like the first one

​@@joelrobinson5457yep, that's what I was thinking too.

@@joelrobinson5457no. Dogs react to things they don’t like. If he doesn’t like how a muzzle feels if it’s uncomfortable a dog will act aggressive. You can tell trauma aggression vs improper training aggression. If this was fear from trauma it would be shown differently. Shaking, urinating, defecating, screaming + howling. Dogs are so misunderstood and it doesn’t help that misinformation is always spread.

@@user-cn6xw8jr8yfear aggression is also a thing? Some dogs act submissive and others fight back. Also dogs don’t act aggressive to everything they don’t like?

Put it down nasty violent dog

Spot on

How curious that you saw patience - I saw a terrified animal with a respiratory rate off the chart having to remain in fight or flight mode for an inordinate length of time !!!!

@margaretmcgregor5686 They were referring to Girl With The Dog's patience, not the dog.

some other times animals are aggressive toward strangers simply because they have biological tendencies toward territorial aggression, and they either receive little corrective training to disincentivize it, or the positive reinforcement they receive when they engage in the behavior overrides/muddles the corrective training. Their ancestors are highly territorial predators (just like ours), so these things don't really require trauma and abuse to develop. Smaller breeds in particular are prone to this stuff. Maybe its because they are easier to hurt with abuse, or maybe its because they can do the behavior over and over again and not be sent off to the farm unlike a mastiff that acts like this.

@@margaretmcgregor5686 how curious that you saw fear. I see a pissed off dog that wants the lady with the loud scissors to piss off. The dog isn't begging its owner to help it. And it also isn't agressive towards its owner. Its ambivalent. Do you think a scared child would act like this if its mother was in the room? What if it was two goons instead of just the one goon and a friend? Would the child preferentially sceam at the new goon and ignore the familiar goon? No, this dog isn't afraid. Its mad.

I wondered if the muzzle was ill-fitted. It kinda looked like the first one was too big and going a bit over his eyes. And it could've just been uncomfortable. I agree, I think the spotted coat was really cute.

​@@southernnightmares3789Well, the new one was definitely too small. For a couple minutes like here it's okay if necessary, but in general a muzzle must preserve the dog's ability to drink and pant. Anyway, I'd say y'all are probably misinterpreting that part and that that's just where the sedation really kicked in. Getting worked up like that also spins up the cardiovascular system leading to quicker absorption of drugs into the bloodstream and brain, meaning the medication hits harder than when he was chill.

​@@Nitidus i think you're the one misinterpreting it. obviously vets are aware these sedatives take time to work. we ALWAYS instruct clients to give their pet the meds some time before the stressor, so they were 100% on board already. just like us, meds work differently in some animals so this guy definitely needs a higher dose or full anesthesia.

i'm pretty sure a dog's tail wagging isn't a behavior exclusive to happiness, like a cat purring

I bet he was a very sweet little dog until whatever happened to him 💔

@@audaciousredi bet he wasnt

and hes not trying at all. in fact hes just trying to act like a DB

what the techniques you used groom them?

The word that came out of my mouth! With my jump! You're not alone

I almost fell off my bed…that snap was totally unexpected!👀

nearly got a heart attack!

I jumped lol nearly dropped my phone

Me: It's not like a dog grooming video will have jumpscares in it. Pippin: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, MORTAL Me: *chokes on soda* Pippin: MY POWER IS LIMITLESS

Pillow case after you muzzle snd toe it to his collar. Wont come off.

Jack Russell’s are smart dogs.

100% agree! I hate when people write off a dog as “bad” when they display negative behavior in an entirely new & stressful environment with someone new doing things which seem potentially dangerous to them from their point of view. Or when a dog reacts negatively to someone doing something threatening or even hurting them. Especially since dogs only have a few ways to show they don’t like something or to try & warn off anyone threatening them. People act as if they expect dogs & all animals to have the same ability to express themselves as humans & to fully understand humans…despite animals not being able to speak or understand our language(beyond a few commands/body language) & most people being completely ignorant of the language of animals.

@@roguewolf7053 absolutely! I couldn’t agree more. I also had a thought while watching. She mentioned that he was sedated for the groom. I almost wonder if his anxiety was so high that the sedation made the aggression worse. As you said, this is an animal. They are limiting in their understanding of what we are doing. If he felt “out of it”/ not in control, it would make some sense that the fear would increase, knowing that he felt less capable of protecting himself. Does that make sense at all?

@@courtneywaltz6153 Absolutely! The sedation absolutely could’ve made him worse since it was obviously not enough to over ride his fight or flight response but very well could’ve been making him feel off, weak & decreasing his ability to comprehend.

​@@roguewolf7053just shoot him

He's aggressive and vicious! That's not a dog who is afraid!

Did you not hear his whimpers and how she said he’s crying? Obviously he’s afraid

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 you are correct that thing is not afraid, he is just a vicious dog. I’ve seen strays as mellow as ever, with horrible pasts, it’s just a shitty dog, that’s all.

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329literally google the phrase “fear aggression”… your comments are harmful to new/inexperienced dog owners who might actually believe what you’re saying

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329he’s afraid.. only fighting as an attempt to keep himself safe.
