When you acquire a non-shedding dog that you'd like to keep long for the first time, proper brushing is a learning curve. The dogs coat was in fairly decent condition. He was recently neutered, meaning he was likely wearing a cone for a period of time, causing matting. The coat is also likely going through a change, due to the change in hormone levels. Let's cut the owner some slack - as she is more than willing to put in the work to keep his coat matt free. She's purchased all the right tools, and was happy to listen to all my tips and tricks to prevent matting going forward 🙂

Our 10-year-old Keeshond started having seizures when we took him to be groomed - he’s a very anxious dog, and he’s on meds now but still had a seizure when we tried the last time, so we did him ourselves with Nasty Critter, Fluff Off and the conditioner and then with Ice on Ice. He turned out really well! We bought a high-velocity dryer but didn’t need the Happy Hoody. We handled compacted fur and mats too. We were able to do this because I watched so many of your videos. Thank you!

Even though he has a lot of mats you can tell the owner does take care of him and grooms him often with how chill he is with the blower and brush. They just need more practice with dematting him but his behaviour really reflects the owners care for him.

Playing in the backyard at the end is usually my favorite part, and this one delivered. What a regal, calm yet fun-loving, gentleman.

[Strykenine]

Stanley is a proper gentleman, and he won't let you forget it.

That dog’s entire persona exudes love and joy. So happy that a pup this cool ended up in the best hands possible.

If you've never owned a dog that grows "hair" rather than "fur, " it can be a learning process. Especially if it's a doodle that potentially has a weird hybrid coat. I hope you help the owner learn the right way to brush and comb thru this lovely boy's coat. They obviously care very much and have been trying to do a good job maintaining him!

Stanley was very well mannered for his grooming. the owner has treated him well and conditioned him for grooming. He is a very big and fluffy dog with a beautiful coat.

[kenzieuchiha]

He's a giant baby, absolutely adorable.

[JB-hwsb]

That was SUCH a good dog, he's just a baby still and so well behaved! I'm glad his owner cares about his coat, I'm sure she'll get to grips with that challenge over time.

[sueellens]

He’s gorgeous! I think he needs to be called a “noodle” instead of a “doodle”! 😂

Two days ago I groomed an extremely matted St Bernard at the owner’s house because I couldn’t fit her in my shower. I spent nearly two hours shaving the dog and 1.5 hours bathing. The senior girl was so happy to finally be mat free after nearly a year of not seeing a groomer. Sadly I was not able to save all of her coat but the owner didn’t care, she just wanted the mats gone. It’s so rewarding being able to help people with their dogs and then see their reactions. Priceless!

"Stanley don't care" gave honeybadger vibes 😂

LOVE when Vanessa asks Stanley to close his mouth, and he does immediately. ❤️

[christenawalker]

What a nice temperament this dog has! Nice job owner.

[suzil]

I love that you show owner reactions sometimes and that you respect that not everyone wants to be on camera - this is a happy medium. I don’t need to see their faces, just to see how happy the pet is and the hear the joy of the owner. Thank you to the owners willing to participate!

[sorreltyree]

I like how you manage people's expectations for other groomers, explaining things like having more time and so forth, so people can hopefully have reasonable expectations. I'm not a dog groomer nor do I have a dog to take to a groomer, it just seems like you're professionally courteous to others in your field.

[ShariBonz]

The tidbit on the change in hormone levels causing his fur to change is fascinating and makes sense. The longer I've watched your channel, the more I learn that groomers are just as essential as any vet. ❤ Stanley was a good boy!

[White_Bim]

This groom made me really respect what you are willing to do just to help dogs in need, Vanessa! To spend 3.5 hours on a complimentary groom, instead of completing probably about 3 normal sessions in the same time... You're an absolute lifesaver for dogs like this - matted, agressive, disabled and neglected. Thank you! 🙏

8:10 😂❤ He is like a puppy ❤ but such a good boy...calm and quiet during the entire groom
