"I once ate a groomer with some fava beans and a cold bowl of fresh spring water."

[misschieflolz]

He doesn't look like he'd intentionally be aggressive, he just sounds so scared. Lord knows with an unknown past too. He's so fluffy and pretty at the end.

[caleighc]

When the water got on his paw.. Oh such a dramatic boy! So cute!

[kimgill]

Japanese Akitas and Shiba Inus are difficult dogs to rehome … they are very independent, loyal, and they NEVER forget! Many, MANY props and congrats to someone taking the time and putting in the effort to make this stunning boho a new, happy home. And many props to YOU, Vanessa, for keeping him calm and working with him to make his first groom a decent memory.

I dont like it when my socks get wet either, so I can't blame him for being so dramatic 😂

[Lucinda_Jackson]

Loved the side eye you got when he finished his treat to let you know that did NOT erase your crimes against him! 😂

[carolynallisee]

I couldn't help but laugh when he stood there with one paw in the air because it got wet, as he was being soaked and soaped down!

For a first groom, he did remarkably well. He wasn’t happy, but he never full-on lunged. You talking probably actually helped. You were soft and reassuring and respectful. The difference the right approach makes is so satisfying. Given the right situation, 99% of “difficult” dogs can be successfully groomed and treated by professionals or even owners. Even some of the 1% can have a “comfort” groom if needs must. Woof woof! 🐕

[Hzleyes]

It's difficult when there is no history on the dog. Poor guy. Thank you for your kindness and caring Vanessa.

The anti-bite muzzle combined with the worried puppy grunts absolutely sent me

[_Jay_Maker_]

The muzzle makes him look really intimidating, but he's really just a big, grumpy, dramatic baby. 😆

[MaiseNow]

He may be a Japanese Akita but he sure has the Husky braincell with all that drama! What a handsome, ridiculous boy. You did great with him, Vanessa.

"Akita Inu With An Attitude Problem" So, just a regular akita inu :D

[heathersurprise]

I have an aunt that adopted a rescue Akita several years ago. He had behavioral problems and my uncle wasn't going to let him stay. My aunt sat the dog down and told him if he didn't improve it was back to the shelter. That dog turned into one of the best animals ever! R.I.P. James

My husband an I have about 30 years of experience working with "dangerous" dogs. It turns out that we've actually met very few dangerous dogs. We have met dogs who are showing fear aggression and what typically helps is desensitization training. The more he goes to the groomer and the veterinarians office and has positive experiences the less he will fear these spaces. Thank you for taking him on, most would have probably denied grooming . It's people like you that will help this very handsome fella.

[omghi]

Lol, his little glare after the treats like "yeah yeah human, I guess you're not too bad".

[vivianevans]

And I'm proud on your behalf for how you handled such an unpredictable, unknown, powerful dog on his first ever groom! Outstanding!

[thomasthomsen]

Yogi does a great impression of a mix between a race car and a power drill 😂🤣

[chichitex]

What a big whiny baby! I’m happy he did so well! He looked very sharp afterwards!❤❤❤
