Roger The Great Dane's Story | The Asher House

[@fireanice4]

Dude is a dog empath. He has so much personal awareness, I love it. “I’m like at a level 9; I wanna bring it down to a 3.” Well said.

[@piteusx8440]

He gets every dog is unique. Dogs feels safe with him.

wow i totally was thinking the same thing and then i read your comment... im empathic as well and can recognize it in people...

[@roansmom2004]

It’s really not that hard to be. The hard part is knowing when to turn it down, Dude gets it! I love how he loves each animal for its own strength. 🐾🐾🐾🫶🏼

I love how Pompom seems to be wherever Roger is throughout the video! I think she has a little crush. She likes 'em tall!

I worked with abused Rottweilers for over 12 year, had up to 18 dogs on my property fostering them for local rescues that could not work with them. 10-18 dogs on property saved me,..., Disabled Vet adn if I could afford to do it again,..., I sure would. They saved my life. We think we are saving them when WE are the ones being saved too. Bless the Beast.

[@anniegunn9961]

I love this story, I love them all but this one is special. My two favorit parts: when you got him home and you got water for him, you put it down and Pom Poms goes right up there and starts drinking it. Then he is in the kitchen and Hooch kisses him twice on his nose, to tell him it's okay we all love you!! My heart is so full after watching this, thank you!❤❤❤

[@kae303x]

Roger Baby Boy ❤❤❤ now he is in the right place. Big property, loads of friends, a wonderful human dad who understands the workings of his mind 👍 and he can bark all he wants 👍 this is doggy paradise in Oregon 🦋 Lee, you are truly following in the footsteps of St. Francis, the patron saint of all animals ❤

Roger is a gentle giant, he took his treat so gently and sweet. I love Pom Poms, she didn't care how big Roger is, she still went up to say hi to him, and drank his water. lol You will have a wonderful life with Lee!

[@elizabethmcgovern1763]

Roger is just lovely, I did write before about having my 3rd rescue Dane his names Jackson and he's 6 now. I got him when he was 3 years old and he came to me with little or no training. He was willing to learn and just wanted to please thank goodness as he's 80kg in weight. They all do the sitting on the couch thing and it's hysterical how they reverse onto the couch and just sit down. God bless you for giving Roger a chance and he looks as if he's fitting in fine with the pack.

[@IntriguedLioness]

Lee, I did love in the beginning when you said you "couldn't stop smiling, that your cheeks hurt".. I feel like that whenever I press play on one of your videos. I've just recently started following you but I've always been passionate and have rescued and fostered many... It was a way to combine my love of travel and still be able to have dogs (and few cats and a miniature pig) in my life... this year, dealing with health issues I've had to suspend all of that .. but have been given the go-ahead by my oncologist to begin my search for a support dog. I've never seen it from this end but between your channel and a few other resources I hope to go ahead and have a forever dog in my life soon... cheers, and keep spreading the love!

Roger is a sweet and gentle soul, bless him, letting Pompom’s box him out for his water bowl. And Pompoms is so brave, so comfy around him even if he is several folds Poms’ size, and managed to take Roger’s water bowl from him. Bless you more, Lee and The Asher House!

[@time2bcreative]

Lol Pom Pom is like “ this is my water “ …… Roger is beautiful And he sits on the couch like I do but I sit like that because I’m short and my feet need to touch the ground.

[@georgielancaster1356]

You will find that is usually only a problem with outside dogs. If your dog lives in house as family, and they are happy and secure, there is very little barking. That eill disappear very quickly. Except for maybe a single bark, if being playful, or complaining. Only time it usually happens, is if the dog is pretty new and has separation anxiety, if their humans go out. If inside, they usually come up and look at you, if there is a problem, or do a little whine, for attention, like I need to pee...

[@Silver_wind_1987_]

@Georgie Lancaster ours barks when people knock on the door...or at random school kids to get off our property when they walk to far up said property. She's currently sleeping in her chair...yes chair she doesn't like dog beds...

Our friend Ricky he is an retired Marine had a Great Daine & she would she would sit like that too. She thoughtshe was a small dog & loved me she always wanted to sit on my lap. We miss her she was a sweetie pie. I love watching how loving you are to all your dogs. We just have one his name is Brody he is a Yorkie. My bestfriend had him. When she gave him to me his fur was matted & he was a little skinny. She couldn't care for him anymore. She asked me if we could take him & we were more than happy to. He is my support pet now & goes with us everywhere. May God bless you for giving the dogs a safe loving home🦋💚🐶🙏🌻*;0)

I find it interesting and incredible how Lee can bring in a new dog without any of the other dogs getting upset or mean to Roger. How do you do that Lee ? Roger 💜🐾🐾💜

[@rhythmisadancer8394]

Honestly, I was just thinking that

[@FirstLast-zr9cy]

Lee’s intuition is seriously commendable. Some dogs he doesn’t introduce immediately or would only let a few select dogs meet before introducing the rest of the pack. Some dogs he immediately introduces and they play like they’ve been friends forever. Truly awesome to watch him work with these dogs.

[@alexandrakennedy8078]

@@FirstLast-zr9cy Have you been there when he does this ? If you have, what does he do if the new individual isn't accepted ?

[@FirstLast-zr9cy]

@@alexandrakennedy8078 Check out Bentley’s videos. There are three parts and an update. You’ll see Lee discussing his decision making process (based on her reactions) and also gets feedback from his crew.

[@georgielancaster1356]

When you run a rescue, your dogs get very used to new arrivals. They are just, "Hi. Grab a bed..." The only possible problems are if you have some newer alphas in the group. It's the new dog that is uptight. New dog who possibly feels there is something to prove. But if a big group, a new dog won't start a punch up. They know they are new arrivals in established pack. If they start a fight, it could be every dog against one. There is a very strict etiquette. So new dogs, in big packs, are usually very polite. Very careful. In small groups, or just one or two dogs, a new dog might feel he or she can dominate - but if new dog doesn't have old owner with them, they are usually far more willing to be very polite. So introducing, it is VERY IMPORTANT to not have old human there, if dog is 'strong' If dog is used to being pushy and aggro, it will behave as always, because it thinks old owner expects it to - that is the pattern they have created. With a strange human, who is confident, who does not accept antisocial behaviour, dog is on best behaviour. It is in new place, new human. All the old habits are not safe. Think of it as going to boarding school. And arriving from a train, escorted by new teacher or school nurse. You go quiet and polite and spend time working out where you will fit in, how strict it will be, who might be the school bully or be your main competitor. So in about a month, there might be a few squabbles. You have to shut them down and keep an eye on them, and not put them in situations for jealousy, until it settles. In fact, there is, what I call, a honeymoon period. It is often around a month, but can be days, week or 3 months from first arrival. There comes a period where dog no longer feels an unsure visitor. And established dogs realise this one isn't passing through. So then there can be jostling. Then you can get personal rivalries pop up. You have to be aware of that and shut down problems. Early on, many people relax too early. Think everything will be wonderful, because there weren't any punch ups at the start. You have to really watch the individuals. You know the dogs likely to cause the problems. It's always the same few. I have rescued for 40 years. I had a permanent 'family' of 9 dogs, and up to 14, at a time.

[@ErienneG]

What a sweet gentle baby!!!! He has the most beautiful brindle color 💜

I rescued a lovely Great Dane, Gord. He has since passed but I think about him often. He was such a gentle soul. And yes, they do sit like that on the couch. LOL

Neurotic barking is one thing. But I can't stand when people get angry with a dog for barking when someone or something enters the property. They are dogs! They bark.

I had Great Danes for 20 years... When they get stressed they can bloat easy... It makes them uncomfortable and they roll around... often flipping the stomach and cutting it off...

So looking forward to Roger's transformation! That first run down to the water with the pack, that each new dog takes, when you can see they feel free and a part of it all! I remember LaLa when she looked back at you like "Are you kidding me? Life can be like this?!" What you do is so special, Lee!

[@blujeans9462]

Transformation? He acts like most Danes act when they're totally normal, already. Lol! Looks well adjusted; very healthy; no issues that I see (and I've owned 7 of them). Although I don't think I would have been so confident with the loose leash at the airport - most are very nervous in strange environments - and will bolt at the slightest fear; even strong people can't hold one once they decide to bolt. Roger did excellent!! He is extremely well adjusted and was very well taken care in socialization. Only area that I see could be a problem: too many dogs. Danes need a huge amount of personal love to feel confident. He will be fine, healthy and happy being one of 10, but he won't thrive. He'll hang back a lot - letting others take center stage. My Danes were the happiest as the only one - even though I prefer having two. Every time I added a 'friend' for one of my Danes they lost that spark - their eyes lost that happiness and seemed to say, I thought it was only going to be you and me? Danes love people way more than dogs.

He had ben abandoned and tied up in front of a mall in the middel of december - so cold. Over Christmas He had ben staying with a family, but they found him to Big. In januar my friend got him in her shelter to try to find a forever Home. And that was me 😃❤️ I were visiting my friend, and this little “Horse” just sat next to me and stared at me the Hole time, So I had to take him Home with me ❤️❤️❤️ I never regretted that decision - He Will allways be in my heart.
