Most groomers would agree that a perfectly calm, cooperative dog is about as common as a unicorn. From splashing water everywhere to squirming on the table or staging at least one daring escape attempt, grooming is often a test of patience and persuasion. That’s why a recent video of a Rottweiler at the groomer’s has the internet talking. Instead of being a handful, this charming pup breezed through the session like the dream client every groomer hopes for.
Rottweiler calmly cooperates with the groomer in video
Demi, a professional groomer at Patch’s Dog Grooming in England, recently shared a video of her four-legged client, Dalton the Rottweiler. At the start of the clip, text humorously describes him as her “worst behaved, biggest NIGHTMARE of a customer.”
However, as the clip unfolds, it becomes apparent that the line was meant purely in jest. Dalton couldn’t have been more cooperative. The large pup is shown sitting in the wash area without making a fuss, allowing Demi to lather him up with shampoo and scrub him down. He patiently waits as she rinses him and even responds when she gives him simple commands, such as lifting his paw or turning around.
Later, Dalton is brought to the grooming table, where his composure continues to impress the internet. He sits quietly as Demi applies ear cleanser and spritzes him with dog-friendly cologne. At one point, the Rottie even closes his eyes, as though enjoying the pampering session to the fullest.
Viewers were quick to notice just how unusually calm Dalton was. The video has since gone viral, collecting over 4.7 million views and nearly half a million likes within four days. Many praised the pup for being such a “good boy,” and some admitted they were amazed to see a large breed like a Rottweiler remain so composed during his grooming session.
One person wrote, “Beautiful boy! Great job to his human parents with his good manners.” Demi later replied, revealing Dalton is actually her own dog, which made his relaxed behavior even more impressive to fans. Another viewer added, “He has to be one of the most well-mannered rotties I have ever seen.” A netizen observed humorously, “He looks like he can’t be bothered but loves it all at the same time.”
