I was at a horse ranch in North Texas a couple of years ago when the resident Anatolian was leaning against me while I was scratching his shoulders and petting him.

He looks so dignified with his happy hoodie. I owned a large Rottweiler, the love of my life. He was super strong. He would chew thru his leashes in seconds. A big grouler (complainer) but otherwise a gentle giant which was professionally trained along with myself. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2009. Huge heartbreak.

[@nanyanghuayi]

Understand the vacuum in your heart when your Rottweiler passed on. He loved you with all his heart and would risk his life for you.

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

Understood. The stigma, about them being violent, is unwarranted. When I volunteered at Birchwood Animal Hospital, I found them to be the biggest wimps, but kindest dogs.

[@chanmi1957]

We had a large dog that was half Rottweiler and half Doberman. She was very intimidating to look at and was very happy to let you know she was there. She was also a total whimp! The only time she ever growled at us was when she stole a bag of corn bread and muffins off the counter and hubby tried to take it from her. She ate everything including the bag! She also knew she was to stay off the bed but she would try to sneak into the bedroom and get on it anyway. She would flatten herself the best she could but that's kind of hard when she weighed 100 pounds. I miss her so much even though she has been gone over 25 years.

[@Immortalaquarius]

He really did try to be a cooperative puppy. It's possible his age and pain, combined with his pedigree, are factors that would make it very challenging to do his feet and nails. I'm an older person and have been living with pain for a very ong time and I, too get a little spicy when I hurt.

[@lemonadesparkle4994]

I noticed he really does struggle with his rear mobility. I think this big old soul is probably really pretty sore and understandably nervous of being handled around the back end.

[@lindalumae]

I’m right with you. My knees and hips are arthritic and in a bad day I could not stand that long. I had a very old arthritic dog that passed away last year and I went to great lengths to avoid causing her pain. It was a lot of work but I would do it all over again if I could have her back, well and happy.

Some of these dogs must think they are going to melt.

[@bethanymcmurtrey9542]

So, the different types of muzzle s and their purposes are: bite proof muzzle, an enforced leather muzzle that actually prevents a dog from biting, agitation muzzle, the metal grate type muzzle that's purely for convincing the dog it can't bite, and the mesh muzzle for smaller dogs with shorter snouts. Anyone here who knows more about dog training and muzzle s can expand an correct me

[@HailKosm]

to my understanding the agitation muzzle is to tell the dog when they can bite and when they don't need to. Used mostly in police and military K9 training, because they want to train the dog to be aggressive but to be under control when aggressive. You wouldn't use an agitation muzzle on a pet dog unless you are also training them to be a guard dog or some other role in which aggression is favored.

Basket muzzles ("grate") are also used for keeping dogs from hoovering up trash off the ground outside 🤭

[@patriciadoring]

My favorite so far. I have a rescue mix Grt Pyr, GSD, St Bernard that everyone (vets, kennels) thinks is an Anatolian shepherd. And she loves grooming as much as Samson here. In fact, at this moment she is sedated ahead of an in-home vet visit for another attempt to get blood samples and vaccines. We are maybe an hour away from you, and I wish so much that I could bring her to you for at least some advice on how to care for her coat. I think it is more GSD than the other two breeds, but still want to do right by her. I'm used to lab mixes. This one is a whole new world! So much what I see in Samson, too.

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

You have such an amazing way with the animals in your care. It goes beyond experience (Which can never be UNDER-appreciated/respected!), and knowledge of the various Breeds/Species you're handling. YOU just have an amazing intellect/empathy with them, and even when 'They' are stressed-out, I've no doubt you and your mental/spiritual ('Zen' if you will?) reassures them, at least to some degree. For the scared ones? Every time I watch one of your videos, and with this handsome ball of fluff, his 'Trigger' being nails, leads me to believe someone in the past clipped him far too short, causing him pain (It HURTS! Just do it to yourself someday and see). So now he's reacting to his feets/nails being handled. Makes sense. Our one Miniature, a Rescue, was also terrified of being bathed. I had zero doubt it was because his 'Owner's' Son abused him during it (He outright had problems with ANY 'Man' handling him), so his first bath (Tied to a backyard tree in grass), saw him trembling in fear, eye rolling white, and ready to 'Fight-to-the-Death' as me and my partner began. We were extremely patient, rewarding, but firm. It was going to be done, and he WAS going to survive it (And so were we!). Using warm water (Not well-water-cold), calm, rewarding scritches, treats when it was over, and positive reinforcement, within months he was looking FORWARD to his 'Bath time,' extra good attention, etc.. The walks into town, and picnics at the park(s) was always such fun, too! So much in how they're handled/trained by their Human(s) matters. It isn't the 'Breed' (aka 'Violent Breed(s)' theory), it's their Humans! TLDR reply, I know you're a very busy person, but, I hope others who watch you, what you do and why/how you do things, will help THEM in handling/treating their critters, so everyone involved has a good time and that layer of stress/fear is removed, or never has a chance to start!
