@DIARRHEA-PANIC Dogs dont think like that. Some dogs also have one very short coat (for example a boxer, a minpin) where the fur is less than an inch long and provides no protection whatsoever. Some of those types of dogs still will react badly if you bathe or groom them. Dogs dont react badly cuz they are getting their fur trimmed. They are reacting because they are in a strange situation they dont understand with a strange human touching various parts of their body they might not be used to having handled and loud devices like clippers and dryers making lots of noise and odd sensations for them.

Coming from Yorkshire, I'm pleased to see one of our county terriers in your grooming parlour. Courage was pretty good (for a Yorkie!). They have an in-built programme which means they go through life convinced that everyone else is dead scared of them. My cousin had a Yorkie ("Whiskey") which saw a GSD on my cousin's caravan park & thought "I'm having a piece of that". Whiskey shot across the land & fastened his teeth onto the GSD's throat & wouldn't let go. The GSD just looked at his owner as much as to say "What is it? Please get it off me..." Incidentally, we in Yorkshire have the smallest terrier (Yorkie) and the largest (the Airedale) to represent us. Love the videos Vanessa, you are so patient and caring with all your clients.

He was a pretty good boy, though. Wasn’t the brightest dog in the world, but he had a lot of personality and was kind of a freak of nature. If yorkies were human, he’d have been Andre the Giant.

It seems like a lot of Courage’s aggression is rooted in fear & anxiety, which makes total sense since he’s a rescued stray whose life prior to not just being adopted but being taken to the shelter appears unclear. He may have been largely uncooperative during his groom, but I think this is an important first step. He doesn’t have to view this as a positive or negative experience, but it will at least help him in hopefully understanding that he isn’t in any danger & is in safe hands. Personally, I think that, despite his aggression, he did great for his first groom with Vanessa! I truly wish Courage the best moving forward 💖

He was good for his bath, loved the blow dryer, especially in winter, and held still pretty well when I did his face. Home haircut, haha. But he screamed bloody murder when I clipped his nails. He never growled at me, or bit, just licked my hands. Luckily his nails wore down like Courage's since we walked and hiked miles together. He would bound through huge snowdrifts like a deer. He passed at 16 with respiratory arrest. I rescued a Cairn Terrier Chi cross now. Someone must have given Courage a haircut on his body at some point. Yorkie hair never stops growing, just like human hair, so he would've been much longer. They shed very little with no undercoat, but give them jackets in winter. 😊

They typically feel the need to defend themselves because of their size. Knowing something could seriously hurt you or kill you will typically have you on edge. A lot of the time that leads to reactivity with dogs and sometimes even fear aggression. You also need to remember that most terriers are small and bred to be yappy, feisty killers. When a terrier like the yorkie “acts up”, people say they’re terrible rat dogs. Most of the time the dog is doing what its breed has been bred to do. That’s not to say that there aren’t nuisance dogs but training isn’t seen as important for little dogs.

Courage looks like he’s wearing a Halloween costume with the lion cut 😂. Such a cutie!

[@DaughteroftheKing-j6q]

He’s so cute! Glad you gave him a second chance ❤

Courage: "If I'm gonna get wet... I'm gonna have FUN!"😡

He is adorable. Congratulations to the new owners. I hope ya'll & this fur-baby have a long & happy life together.

Courage needs a little more courage. He'll get better

[@hazelco8622]

Gee, his ears from folded to ears up, that is the cutest ear movement I have seen, irl and on vid.

[@veronikavolhejnova5036]

I'd say he has a bit of papillon or something thrown into the mix - love those ears!

[@parryyotter]

Those are regular yorkie ears

[@johndou3940]

No, he is a biewer york. It's like some kind of different type of a breed.

[@lgDukeCity5018]

@@johndou3940 Ah yes, could be, good point.

[@SparkyOne549]

Normal yorkie ears.

[@kerfluffle3781]

​@@johndou3940 the only physical difference between a biewer yorkie is and a normal Yorkie is that biewers are tri-color and not docked. He looks mixed, but almost definitely isn't a biewer.

This baby deserves people giving him all the chances! So glad his owners blessed him with an appointment with a groomer happy to hand out affection and care without reserve.

Courage's ears can get a better WIFI signal than any of us do.😎

[@kathleenrutherford733]

I want a Yorkie so bad!! He is soo cute!! I love you and thank you for sharing Your absolutely amazing

Dogs have grooming fear because their humans don’t have them groomed enough as puppies. I have a biweekly appointment with my groomer. We never get too dirty or too long and my dogs are happy to see my groomer and get pampered. Humans need to do better.
