Play some smooth jazz to help with the "noise". I just found that to be a bit more relaxing. Great Job. I am envious that you get so much dog love. 🕊️❤️🎶

[@ACR_BOX]

There are industry dryers that house the motor separately and/or have super long hoses. These helps with limiting the noise in the working area. Even when placing them is a issue, then a (custom) soundproof box can solve that issue. Any industry isolation company can make that and there are even off the shelfs models. The best i seen had a motor placed high up, in a soundproof box with a extended hose that was on a roll/spool/reel and was retraceable. (Just like a air hose reel) I imagine these solutions can be really beneficial for you and the clients.

[@keeshlon]

I think that once Moose knew you weren't going to do what vets do, he calmed down a lot. 🐶💗

[@ShadowSkyX]

There was a cat recently that was extra spicy. She was fine with the bath as it was a very "un-vet" procedure, but as soon as she started to be maneuvered around, she must've assumed the worst and thought she was about to get poked like she was at the vets and concluded this was the vet after all, and decided she needed to have attitude the rest of the groom. She associated being moved about against her will by a stranger with the vet. The worst part is you can't convince them it's not the vets after not experiencing any poking when no one remotely shows anything resembling the things they're afraid of/hate. Once it was too similar after the bath, that was it.

[@alison4398]

Aw, sweet doggy. I always find it cute how such big dogs can be so nervous about very simple things. Moose is clearly a very sweet puppy though.

[@Ann-xv1it]

I know what you mean. I have a black lab, and she is afraid of EVERYTHING!!! So I have to be VERY CAUTIOUS about where I take her. And I ACTUALLY have to take her to the same spots when she has to go do her business. (if it's not my back yard.)

[@sallywaites8517]

It's called poor socialisation and desensitization.

[@sallywaites8517]

​@@Ann-xv1itYour poor dog is never going to get over their fears if you go out of your way to avoid everything they're fearful of. Avoidance achieves nothing. What you're supposed to do is gently and consistently help them get over their fears. Sooner or later they're going to have to go somewhere they don't want to and they won't be able to handle it. This is poor dog leadership on your part.

[@cduff4505]

He’s beautiful and so well mannered! Having owned 2 Cane Corso's rescues over the years, I can appreciate the effort and time you put into making him comfortable while grooming him. Cane Corso’s come with loads of health and aggression issues. In my opinion their popularity over the last 20 -25 years, acceptance in to AKC here in the US and poor breeding has turned an amazing Breed into a mess. Many US breeders have giant-sized them from the Italian breed standards. In the right hands they are amazing dogs, loyal and friendly with their family. long socialization is key with them. Loved seeing you groom a Cane Corso and love your channel!

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

I had wondered about his size. My first thought was there had to be something else in the mix because the few that I have seen are not quite that big. It's ashame that so many breeds has been poorly bred.

[@TarynIona]

Moose is stunningly beautiful! Love Cane Corso pups, they are the most sweet and loving dogs, along with Pitties, Rotties, and of course bouvier des flandres, and all of them believe they are lap dogs too. Neighbor just moved in with a Pitbull service dog, he alerts her to when the phone, doorbell or timer goes off, as she's deaf to high tones. Blake used to be an Army bomb and explosive dog, but after 4 years of service, he was retired with PTSD. He's living the best life ever and is an absolute sweetheart, who has found both hubby and I to be also in need of him. If we are all outside, he will alert to one of the 3 of us if we have been standing too long. Hubby has 2 bulging discs, close to rupturing and standing is not his forte at all.

[@kathleenposton2334]

Can I maybe make a small suggestion? If your blow dryer has a cool air setting, maybe turn it on, in the background, before they arrive or once the dog settles in-but a while before they need it.

You have such a sweet, reassuring voice. I'm sure that helps soothe a very apprehensive dog! Moose is so cute... huge and cute!

[@highlycaffeinated6864]

What a loveable giant well behaved gentleman. I adore this dog, I might have stolen him for myself If I was in your position. Ugh I just want to hug him so much.

This woman is amazing,, she's doing everything right,, from lowering herself because the mastiff isn't aggressive to shortening the leash as dog gets in the shower,, simply, brilliant dog handling

[@Dinainme]

He adapted very well! Very sweet boy!

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

The look on his face when you were using the Zoom Groom was priceless.❤️

I have a cane Corso that looks just like moose and he has the same temperament as moose afraid of everything which is so funny cuz they are so big

[@dovie2blue]

And don't people get them for guardian dogs??

[@angeljamais8541]

Corso apparently go through a sort of "fear stage" around the time they reach almost adult size, that might last a few weeks

[@k8h269]

Oh mine too! Biggest sook until it’s time to protect his family and home! Fiercely protective but loving and loyal to the bone ❤

[@louriz7488]

​@dovie2blue just because they are afraid of simple things does not.mean.they are docile. LOL try him.

[@vikkiwilson5069]

​@@angeljamais8541months! and then they come out of it and are very sensible adults by 2 years if you raise them right.

[@gregstickler3798]

You are so compassionate and I can see they know you love them and it’s not put on It’s very therapeutic

[@pippiperade4030]

You had me chuckling as I watched this.. All too familiar - the need for comforting words when the dog's in a strange situation. Very well done indeed!

[@Just_Pele]

Oh yeah? I recently helped bathe a 240lb English Mastiff. It was literally like trying to wash a bulldozer that was in-gear and left running.

[@gailp5892]

Lololol!

[@carlabarrick8538]

Perfect description! 🐾

[@MaryWehmeier]

ROFL!

That dog is the size of an NFL linebacker…
