No One Tells You This About Rescue Dogs

This dog needs a more experienced dog owner. The owner needs a trainer and a behaviorist. The owner means well, you can tell she is a sweet lady, but she got a dog who needs somebody who understands him. I really hope they can make it work, but with a baby in the house and a weak leader it is scary.

[@Lorenejonesbaby99]

Just one more tid bit of advice to give the owner...do not play with or let the dog play with her hand with his mouth. I noticed she let him mouth her hand and pet his face while he did it. He needs to learn not to be mouthy(nibbble) and she needs to learn to not allow that. Great job helping her and the dog. I do think with there being a child in her home and she is not experienced with his behavioral issues, she needs professional dog/human behavioral help or re-home to someone with experience.

[@buffy9637]

Mom get some training. It’s your energy transferring to the dog. I will always believe in my experience any dog with Chow is unpredictable. Dede gave great advise on not leaving him with kids. You need to become the ‘chill’ leader for him to follow

[@Zoot_of_Anthrax]

I would hesitate to let this woman foster/adopt a dog tbh. She clearly isnt prepared to handle an easy dog - certainly not this dog.

[@theresefennell9635]

The owner was a disaster!!! I'm very fearful for the safety of her baby, and how can she laugh off the fact that the dog has already snapped at the next door neighbour's child??? This dog needs reassurance he won't be mistreated again this owner isn't capable of that. I think she HAS TO HAVE A RETHINK! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@Memow-pk1ng]

Also said dog snapped when food fell on floor, is food agressive, shouldn't be under table. Its Very hard, lots patience to untrain food aggression. Starts with when is puppy, & u need to put your hand in the food while are eating, goes for cats too. U make them sit , & wait , put food down , then give command.

[@MzKari]

Bet this dog don't last long

[@MzKari]

The laugh at the neighbor kid hope she can afford a lawsuit then we can laugh

[@lori1795]

Those behaviors are the chow in him!! Very unpredictable dogs!! Alot of salons will not take them in.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

Adopting any adult dog is risky, if don't know past history , & why was there Especially Chows, are a one person dog, generally are not friendly, to all. Should get as puppies. much as pitbull types, adults are unpredictable .

[@the-wolf-pack4987]

Why was she sticking her fingers in his mouth from the very beginning? She didn't even let you know that he was doing that. He could have not only bitten her but also you

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Editing this video was scarier than the groom because I got to see everything that was happening on the front end. You read my mind!

[@merlynholmes9609]

....prepare his food in his bowl and show it to him. Then get someone who he's growled at to take the bowl and feed him one morsel at a time until the food is finished, then put the empty bowl down for him to inspect for a minute then remove. This has to be repeated several times and for several days, perhaps weeks, by each person he has challenged over food, including children under adult supervision. Gradually allow him to eat small amounts from his bowl, between hand feeding. Then progress to putting the bowl on the floor for him to take a morsel, but without lettkng go of the bowl, then resume hand feeding and repeat the process until you can put the bowl down, let it go and pick it up again without growling or snapping...if he does, be stern, tell him "NO!" remove the food completely if you can and don't feed him any more until he is due his next meal, then start from scratch. The idea is for him to understand that he is neither in control of the food or his bowl and once that is understood, he should drop the resource guarding. Reinforce this with his toys. If he refuses to give you a toy, remove it and put it in a place where he can see it, but not reach it and try again a few hours later and repeat until he gets it right. It can feel very laborious, but if you stick with it y'all will be happy people with a dog who is more secure in knowing his place in the clan. Make sure any kids who are around are part of the process too. Clicker training might be a useful addition to reinforce good behaviour.

[@the-wolf-pack4987]

What worries me even more is she wanted him groomed so she could immediately be able to sleep with the dog in her bed. Which mind you I do not work with rescue dogs but I do know you have to slowly start letting the dog get used to not only you but also your family ie children. This is were mistakes are made and not only the dog pays the ultimate price but the injured party does as well.

[@teresadandridge6383]

I was thinking the same thing, Jennifer. With her letting the dog do that, will make him think he can use her as a chew toy, or someone else.

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

I think every person who adopts a dog or purchases one should have training classes and read on why and how to prepare for these lil souls

[@michellegrovak]

The pet owner and dog need some serious training.

[@stephanieb6019]

ASAP!

[@buffy9637]

Yeps, transferring energy to dog (bit hyper) and no manners. Poor Dede-I just don’t trust Chows even a drop of Chow-no way!

[@ShizTzuCapriAndPurrFamily]

Absolutely the trainer trains me just as much as she trains the dog absolutely

[@amixeblu]

I think the pet owner might have bitten off more than she can chew, so to speak... I really worry for this case!

[@sueleach7015]

Good job all the way around. Praying for the owners and the dog and for people like you with such heart.

[@d.j.1927]

I believe with a young child she should rehome him with someone who knows how to handle aggressive dogs. I had a friend who owned a Chow, and she kept him chained in the backyard which is not fair.

[@nicolaraine3204]

I'm afraid if this was my dog and I had a child, the dog would need to be rehomed..

[@melissanickell1892]

The world needs more humans w/a heart like yours. ⚡️

[@lazydaisy7336]

What a chaotic situation. Clearly this lady does not know how to handle an aggressive dog. With conditioning he would be ok with a groomer. I can’t stress how much he needs a confident trainer. He is beyond stressed. Until he is more receptive to a groomer he needs meds to calm him down. He’s forgotten what is was like to be a dog, a pet! He’s probably had to defend himself if he was on the streets. He needs obedience training immediately. That will help them to bond. I hope for both of them they get the help they need.

[@tinarjackson9844]

This lady has no business with a rescue dog that big if she is afraid of him! She has a child too! This is not good! I'm sorry to say this!

[@carjen121]

Your awesome Deedee. I said it once and I’ll say it again, I don’t think there’s a groomers out there that will go to the extent you go through with this dogs. As usual great job💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@allievillareal4866]

I feel like maybe the owner needs some training on how to own a aggressive adopted dog. I’ve owned dogs for my whole life and know first hand you have to be assertive and commanding and let the dog know your the one I’m charge or else it could be a very dangerous situation for the whole family and everyone the dog comes into contact with

[@sandyr4656]

Thanks for sharing DeeDee❣️ You made this video make so much sense! You are really there for your clients! My son has an aggressive German Shepherd. He has to be muzzled just to go to the vet. Usually has to take meds to calm him down before he goes too! I love how you handled the whole situation! Also how you explained everything in detail! I also love your outfit and you hair looks awesome 😎 Again thanks so much for sharing ❣️

[@KP29694]

Somebody has to do it, right? Thank goodness for your straight up understanding of what the lovely pet parent was going through. Also for your experience which led you to be frank about how that poor dog could not be trusted. Hope you get to have a nice relationship with both of them.

[@MzKari]

In a matter of 3 months this dog went from cool calm to a angry dog

[@toomuchmom]

Because the dog has a fear of the loud aggressive voice of the groomer. The dog remembers. IMO

[@corneliaafara9682]

Why is she putting her hands in his mouth the whole time?!

[@Memow-pk1ng]

She has no idea how to handle this dog ! She is encouraging the bad habit of mouthing, by petting on head , at same time, so dog thinks is ok , & may lead to harder bites !!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Everyone remember. This is grooming. He doesn’t walk around angry. For grooming. Yes. With food. Yes. Now we adjust from that.

[@katewest130]

He’s “angry” with this; he’s “angry” with that, but he’s really just fine and we need to “adjust” otherwise. Got it!

[@maryellenceney1829]

I appreciate your feeling grooming this dog. I think the owner needs trained big time. She should not have this dog if she cant handle him.

[@MelissaP.]

I was holding my breath for a little while! Great job!

[@kayleeweaver4915]

I have 5 rescue pitbulls. 3 were aggressive but after I worked with them for a while they all get along wonderfully!

[@michellegrovak]

We got Henri because he bit my granddaughter in a food experience. We love him dearly. He has gained 8 pounds and is less food aggressive now.

[@adventureswithrobinc3262]

I have tons of stories because I have rescued dogs from the Metro Detroit area. Some were dumped, some were just lost, and some just born on the streets. The owners who lost their dogs were helped to secure yards , and made a dog area that was comfortable for the dog. Vet care was also done. The others were worked with, meet and greets, home evaluations. To this day I receive pictures and messages. Unfortunately, life happened and things changed. At this time I can not help these poor voiceless animals. One day I will again, but for now I will love my dogs, as they are what makes each day brighter. Dealing with Dementia, and having my home opened to 2 family members that need 24 hr. care, and are afraid of dogs can really put a wrench in things. But, by the grace of God and my dogs, I am holding up strong. May God keep you safe Dede as you help the voiceless, and their owners, build a bond that betters their lives.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

Ppl need have their pets, cats, dogs, spayed/neutered.. & stop back yard breeding of mixed mutts,. & won't have problem of shelter dogs !!!

[@mariamaldonado3275]

Hi Deedee, again I don't have a pet dog. You gave the lady good advice. She needs to something either get that dog training lesson. My heart was going fast and I was just watching the video. You do an awesome job. May God bless you with all your dreams. God bless you!

[@lia-liz2012]

New subscriber here. Loved your outgoing speech. People just won't put up with "bad" dogs. They seem to take it personally. Thing is...it's also inconvenient for them to have to do even basic care between grooming. Sad 😔

[@CBOwner1999]

Anyone saying “owner needs training” needs to realize that a shelter adopted this dog out, without going thru all of the safety points! This is the problem with adoption today…the shelters care more about “saving a dogs life” than they are about the home they’re sending them into! The “groomer” being as frantic as she is, is of NO help to calm this poor pup! Groomer needs training more than the owner!

[@cherylhall1738]

He needs a new home without children. Whatever he has been through it makes him a danger. It is not his fault but we must put human children first. Re-homing is the kindest solution because if he bites a child he will be put down.

[@evonnewhalen9794]

When a dog has been starved. They always seem to be food aggressive. The sad part is it’s hard to get them out of the mindset of not having enough food. I would take this dog to obedience class where the owner is part of the training as well.

Send the dog for a 2-week board and train for appx:$1500-2000 and get all the behavioral problems cleared up and obedience trained, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

[@jeanamsl7150]

Did great job

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

This is hard when there are little children around. This owner needs to RE-DO training for aggressive dog. Casey is smart, he's a big boy and there's a back history noone knows like you said. But with the right training, he would THRIVE and be happier. The owner she needs to kid rid of the kid gloves and get those muscles and give Casey the grip she had on him on the floor. If she's affraid or doesn't know then get into a class with Casey that teaches them together. ❤️🐾

[@TexasLadyS]

I had a dog that was like this one. He could be as sweet as sugar one second and the next he’d just growl and snarl. I didn’t like that behavior so, when he got that way, He got a harsh correction with the leash and a strong, loud, NO. He turned into a pretty good dog that we had until he was 16 years old. If you work on it every day, you’ll see a definite change.
