I can't believe you basically just advocated to not spay or neuter pet (non breeding) dogs.

[@girlwiththedogs212]

Alright so let's talk about it. I absolutely DO advocate for spaying and neutering ALL dogs and cats, but I also advocate for not spaying or neutering TOO EARLY. New studies have shown that pets need their hormones until they are fully developed, in order to prevent hip/joint/skeletal issues. My female is not spayed because she is still young, she will be spayed when she's 2. This is especially important in large breed dogs like Shepherds, that are prone to hip dysplasia.

[@Grey_3438]

That is literally not what Vanessa said at all, but way to make assumptions ig

[@kroynenno]

Ha4r44set sure that foster was entitled to many treats, so well behaved. We had a german shepard so long ago, he was very much protective of home/family. Looking back he would not let the postman come on to the porch area. He loved us both, basically my espouse dog, since he had raised him from a pup. He was such a lovely dog.

There are SO many reasons it's good to talk to the animals!! You are not crazy.

[@avatar368]

[@darilynkrupp6309]

I love the intelligent look in a Shepherd's face and Foster is a perfect example. His family has done a great job of socializing and caring for him. He looked very handsome after grooming.

[@NevaG2190]

Same! 😂

[@irener.3849]

Yes. My dog became deaf when she got old, and I still kept talking to her.

[@ferretyluv]

@@irener.3849I wonder if deaf people sign to their dogs the way we talk to ours.

[@antiquegirl6505]

​@@ferretyluv The answer is yes to signing & talking. I know someone who is deaf, & she intentionally adopted a deaf dog. She has taught the deaf dog using sign language, but also speaks the command as she signs it. I would swear that her dog 'Gypsy' reads lips, as I am not as proficient at signing, but she always knows to do as asked.

[@marymacdonald2379]

Hopefully his owners get him on a better diet--so many skin problems are due to kibble dog food. The high heat used to make it destroys so much nutrition in the uncooked ingredients. Switch him to raw diet freeze dried or raw diet and watch his skin get healthy.

[@peregrina7701]

Foster is a love and so handsome. Thank you for pointing out that spay/neuter, while crucial, is not as simple as "no more babies" but does in fact have other effects that need to be accounted for, especially in large breed dogs. I work in surgical services, preparing instrument trays for ORs, and I talk to the instruments all the time. Talking to your furry clients is absolutely more sane than that! Thank you for the video! :)

[@anaderol5408]

Yep - I have to agree with you - talking to a breathing animal that is capable of affection is far more sane than talking to metal objects...even if sterilised!!

[@beck86]

It's so nice to see a dog that's not misbehaving for a change. What a beautiful big boy. I hope his owners find the cause of the skin issues.

[@lovelightcontinuum]

Talk away Vanessa. You don't seem crazy at all. I'm sure the dogs like it as much as we do.

[@rogerdsmith]

The best thing about talking to the dogs, is you can share all your gossip and never have to worry if they will spread it around……

I get so tickled everytime I see the happy hoodie on these furbabies!! So precious

[@horeshoetulip]

i love this channel for many reasons but one of the biggest ones being that it highlights the difference between the dog and cat brain- dogs always look at the camera like "please send help" and cats look at the camera like they are reciting the "i have a particular set of skills i will find you and kill you" monologue from the taken movies

I have a side gig as a live-in petsitter when people go on vacation. When I watch doggies and take them for a walk, I talk to them all the time. I am never on my phone. It's a nice change from talking to people. The animals deserve the respect of being talked to.

[@jenniferlee7167]

What a sweetheart of a dog! He is so well-behaved and very gentle. He looks great!

[@rredict]

GS hold a special place in my heart. My very first dog when I was 4 years my parents got Major. He was 6weeks old when we got him. He and I grew up together. He was my best friend for 16 years. So smart, gentle and protective of me. The smartest and best dog I have ever had.... I still miss him..

[@dovie2blue]

I had one for over a year.... from a puppy. I trained him to walk at my heel and sit when I stopped. And to bark or stop barking on a hand signal. Unfortunately he growled at the mailman and my Dad made me give him away. 😢

[@kristinetrott5087]

That is so horrible. Most dogs, unless accustomed to it, will growl or bark at a uniformed person. They need to be properly introduced with appropriate corrections when training. That was a rather extreme reaction from your Dad, unless there were additional problem behaviors. Sirry for your loss. You missed out on a great buddy.

[@rredict]

I never trained Major to do commands. I was a little girl. He taught himself. He knew all the basis commands. He also knew how open the frig get food when no one was around. He was supposed to be a family watch dog, but I became his favorite person. He was always by my side, even slept in my bedroom at night when I was a little girl which my mom wasn't too happy about, but she grew to just accept how close we were. When he died, I was heartbroken and very depressed for many months.

[@brittany9233]

What a GORGEOUS shepherd! I loved how he asked for more rubs when you were drying him off, so cute! Foster's parents are lucky to have him, what a good boy.

[@irener.3849]

The owner of 2 cocker spaniels here, lots of experience with irritated skin. When skin gets irritated long term, the yeast infection tends to settle on the irritated skin. The yeast infection causes the smell and makes skin itchy. Frequent bathing with anti-fungal shampoo will bring relief, but the root cause is usually some kind of allergy. Most often food. Sometimes simply switching to different food helps. Many dogs are allergic to chicken, beef, grain - most common ingredients. Simply switching to grain free lamb based food helped my dogs a lot.

[@napsinbootsnapsinboots2995]

i never met a vegan dog or cat.. lots of times its whats being used to clean carpets furniture and their beds.. feather filled cushions for pets is bad..they still make em.. most ppl cant tolerate them either. chemical floor cleaners arent good for em either. plug in heated air fresheners bad on their ofactory glands too.. the safest thing to clean with is baking soda..ppl did that for years..the chemical cleaners didnt show up until the late 50's.. can brush their teeth with baking soda to freshen breath.. dust carpet vacum..fleas dont like it.. can use it to fresh animal coats sprinkle it and spread it around. like dry shampoo for them..our pekinese had hotspots from sand fleas.. we put garlic capsules in her food.. after about a month all that stuff went away her hair grew back she was going bald from all of it.. the stuff from vets didnt work neither did pet stuff .. the garlic got rid of the fleas.. they can get ring worm from scratching.

FYI... Unknown dog allergy alert! I bought a cheap wool rug on a home goods site, it shipped directly from China, it also had a weird chemical odor. After 10 days or so my dog became itchy, my cat started throwing up all the time. My dog developed all the "unknown allergy" symptoms. After 9 months or so, and hundreds of dollars in vet charges to treat these unknown allergies my pets developed my cat ended up dying... on the rug. So I threw the rug out. After a couple weeks all my dogs allergies miraculously disappeared! Whatever the factory is spraying on this cheap rug in order to kill insects before shipping killed my cat and almost killed my dog. This Shepards owner should see if they have any cheap imported home goods in their house.

[@user-ub6tc2jj3v]

I started clipping my dog’s claws like you do where they’re still standing and just bring the paw back and the job only takes minutes instead of an hour of my dog screaming in my face, trying to hold her still, and calming her back down after each nail clip which would result in her hiding and pouting for the rest of the weekend. Plus I can see the quick so much easier. Just trimmed my new cat’s claws the same and it was so easy and non-traumatizing 🧡
