Subscribe to Pals channel! youtube.com/@buddyandmikespal?si=b-KqEoXz0VKYVXnR The last time I groomed Pal he did not exhibit anxiety like today's groom, which is why we booked him a second appointment. Due to his stress I sent him home unfinished. The more he is subjected to grooming, the more accustomed he will become to it.

my dog, who's an American Alsatian came over to watch when she heard Pal whining, she kept cocking her head back & forth for like at least 2 minutes straight. She looks a lot like a german shepherd, but when I saw the claw trimming, I was like "wow, look how dainty his claws are" When I bring my girl in to the vet for claw trims the vet is always like "I gotta get the heavy duty clippers for this one". My favorite part of the video is when Pal goes out and sees his dad. He's so happy!!

[@irisatkinson1616]

Sounds like the American Shepherd is more like the Australian Shepherd. I have always had Alsations, which are German Shepherds. Lovely breed. They should be treated with more sensitivity than this one was. Gentle and a little at the time, until they do eventually get used to it. Not cruelly carrying on regardles.

[@rebel4466]

He would be brave while bathing, but they need to trust the person. If you got their trust, they'll let you do anything to them. Also the dog you were sitting was protecting you. They're bred not to leave your side. That's why it's extra stressful for them not to be with a person they trust. Pretty much a 24/7 dog, but a great one. Greetings from Germany lol

We have an old, somewhat racist saying here in Australia: Never trust a New Zealander or an Alsatian dog. As Groucho said, I guess this is as true as most generalisations.

I grew up with German Shepherds because my parents breed them for over 10 years. I`ve been in countless dog show and I use to trained Germen Shepherds. Not only ours but for other owners too. For obedience, for protecting and attacking. They had to know all the signs and all the orders. by the age of 8 months. Protection training had a senior level over 8 month old to make them more aggressive. But because of the obedience training they always know how to behave in different situation. They were good members of the families and tough when they need to be. We trained their intelligence with games too. They were well balanced. They lived outside in a nice doghouse not in our home.

[@rebel4466]

That's a GSD. They want to be with their person 24/7. You shouldn't leave them alone much. Works with many dogs, GSDs will get anxiety. Perfect retirement dogs or for people who can take them to work or work from home. Otherwise things will be difficult

[@mariahgrimes207]

Maybe he should come in on the next grooming? Maybe that could calm down??

@@mariahgrimes207I was also wondering about that.

[@lizzy-wx4rx]

Of course he's smart, he's a GSD. I'm sure he could be trained with treats and positive reinforcement to go through this process calmly, if anyone would take the trouble. Seeing his distress was not at all amusing or cute to me.

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

It was cute to see Pal telling daddy Mike ALL about the torment he had just endured! 😆💓

Pal is experiencing genuine anxiety especially the separation type 😉 but I agree with others that he is dramatic too. Pal definitely has a solid opinion for sure. 🧡🐾

[@mrsbodeutsch]

This is a training or owner issue

[@stellangios]

Yep, his owners need to get on with properly handling this dog. Crazy a dog like this gets famous. For what, having a ignorant owner? 😂

I think Pal wanted a hug a cpl times. He wasn’t aggressive at all. He has such beautiful symmetry and head markings! Good boy!! ❤

[@antoniolatrippa6379]

He's really a very handsome GS example dog. He's a model.

[@Cixtrist]

He PROBABLY could have used one, but for a first time interaction with an anxious dog, that is an AWFUL thing do attempt. The big issue is, they _simply don’t know you like that._ A scared dog may not be inherently aggressive, but if they get a sudden feeling of being trapped by you, as someone they don’t fully trust yet? Their behavior matches that of any cornered animal. Even humans do this. It’s reflexive, rather than aggressive imo, because they are typically trying to get away from the threat, rather than harm it. The harm is just that they don’t have the momentary capacity to understand the difference between a comforting touch, vs a harmful one. Imagine having a panic attack on the train, because you have no friends or family around. And suddenly, some stranger is sitting next to you and FORCING you to let them brush your hair. Idk about you, but if they then wrapped their arms around my neck??? I would no longer care if they were just crazy, it would IMMEDIATELY become a fight to get them off of me, and to get out of the train car, at ANY cost to them. Basically? Don’t hug scared doggos, unless they recognize you as a friend. Even then, sometimes rescue dogs will still retain trauma responses, that just makes it a bad move to attempt, ever. Instead those dogs tend to learn to physically lean into your chest (over a loooong time) for a hug, if they ever take enough steps to overcome that trauma. Ultimately. It takes a long time getting to know a dog, to make this judgment call for the first time. Even in younger dogs that aren’t puppies, and even _somewhat_ knowing them already. ANY dog has the capacity to snap at a person they’ve barely known for an hour, who tries to restrain them with a hug. But ESPECIALLY someone who is professionally putting them in an uncomfortable, but necessary, position. They don’t always have the capacity to understand why, or if their owner will ever even come back, unless they can escape. Sometimes they can be comforted by a soft consistent pressure on their sternums (the center of their chests) or the nape of their necks (where their skulls connect to their spines). Hence, why the videographers head wrap _did_ manage to calm him a bit. I only did a few years of animal behavior with dogs before I completely changed direction to cats, so I could be outdated in my knowledge.

[@laurawilliams5363]

OMG! Beautiful shepherd, but boy oh boy can he cry! You couldn't have any gentler or kinder to him. Kudos to you!!

[@bellanelson4672]

My GDS pup was a little nervous on his FIRST professional grooming, maybe 1/2 of this guy and we were asked to never come back, so thank you for your patience with this baby. You're a true professional.

[@leese.23]

I love how Pal tells dad all about how we almost died getting groomed! 😊❤

[@sandrafaith]

He was an anxiety stress-ball, but I notice that he never got muzzled, so you must have never felt in danger of him snapping at you. Good boy, Pal! Hope that continued grooming sessions will ease his anxiety about it.

[@Taysel9821]

A lot of shepherds are just very vocal. The screaming plus constantly freaking out/panicking is what’s dangerous. Pal was just super talkative🤣🤣

I used to have a strong desire to own a German shedder or a husky one day.....thanks, Vanessa for showing me how wrong I was with these videos lol

[@alinac5512]

Yeah, worst case you get a German shedder on the outside, Husky on the inside... Like this video.

[@rebel4466]

It really depends. A husky is really stressful as they're working dogs and need an outlet for their energy. If that's a given, they're great. A GSD needs "their person" around and they'll be all calm and relaxed. They're bred as 1 on 1 dogs and will always have one favorite among all the people they love. They just lose hair all year long. But regular brushing instead of petting works pretty well. Difficult if you don't want hair around.

[@NoxBVansyn]

@@rebel4466 GSDs are working dogs too, just not as hyper as huskies.

[@Strawnanabby]

My ex and I had a gsd (he still has him) but I’ll be honest, I have never come across such an anxious breed. They need special care and are prone to separation anxiety and aggression. DO YOUR RESEARCH IF YOU WANT ONE THATS WHY THEYRE ONE OF THE MOST ABANDONED DOGS IN SHELTERS

[@Slarti]

German Shepherd - runs towards dangerous armed man and bites his arm bringing him to the ground. Also German Shepherd - starts crying and moaning in the corner when getting a bit wet.

Wow I've never seen a shepherd go nuts like this before. Famous or not his owner failed him by not socializing him to basic grooming.

[@axiomist4488]

I know exactly how he feels. When I was very small , probably 3, I had the same problem when taken to the barber shop. My dad would stand by my side and try to calm me down, while I screamed and cried thru the whole process. It was more like an execution ! All the man was doing was cutting my hair, but I think to me it was that he was cutting pieces of me off, especially when he used the machine to shave the back . Just like Buddy .By the time I got back home, one or two blocks away, I was a wreck ! = )

[@texaspatty4697]

Interesting that you say that GSDs are known for their anxiety. We had one we raised from a pup and she wasn't anxious at all. We got one from a friend, and she didnt know his prior history, and he was very much so. What makes some so anxious? I thought they were bred for confidence.
