This dog is the living embodiment of "I'm just happy to be here".
Beautiful dog
@Jun Malabanan Good reference hehehe
Our youngest Golden would be more like "Im so extremely happy to see you! Where do you keep the noms!!!??? Sleep time..."
Ha. He couldnt be happier
So just every dog?
5 years old, retired show dog, ambulance therapy dog... this dog has accomplished more in life than I have
@Edmon thanks man :)
Oakley was given stuff, you on the other hand have to earn it, whatever you end up accomplishing in life will be of far greater value.
are you Mexican?
Hello, Dr Joe Denski here!
@Terick738 that's strangely inspiring, thank you
Oakley has the purest expression of "Head empty, no thoughts, only happiness"
So a vegetable
God, I wish that was me sometimes
Don't let them fool you. They might look dumb, but they're diabolically clever. In my experience, anyway.
He’s a little confused, but he’s got spirit!
I seen “No thoughts, Head empty” so many times now
"He is the picture perfect representation of what it means to be a Golden Retriever" meanwhile the shot is of him shedding. That got me 🤣
my cousin liked to offer visitors some tea with their mug of hair.
@ShotClanTxter Thanks for sharing this. I lost my pup (a German Shedder, not a Golden) almost 5 months ago. For a while I was still vacuuming up half a dog each time, but now it's dwindled off, which in a weird way makes me another kind of sad.
@trumpetpunk42 our golden died almost a year ago and I still find insane amounts of her hair everywhere in the house no matter how much we clean haha
As she once said, "They only shed twice a year - the first 6mo, and the last 6mo!"
that cracked me up too. lol.
This the kinda of dog you don’t ask “what the dog doin’?” Because you already know he is just being the best boy.
A super model and therapist, what an accomplished Pawfessional. He's the goodest boy. I'm glad Vanessa got a client that didn't attempt to eat her for a change
As someone who has been on airplanes with supposedly human passengers, we could all learn a lot about being well behaved from Oakley.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ "O Šamaš you are the true judge" - Adad-nārārī. I just quoted a text older than both the old and new testament, does that give it any value? Both your name and what you write is either preaching to the choir or can only be construed as so very pedantic that people want to tell you to shut up for trying to force your archaic believes down peoples throat. Quoting the Bible is like quoting anything else, just because you derive value from it doesn't mean it's valuable, just because you consider it to be true doesn't mean it is.
Yes, the more I deal with people, the better I like my dog.
@Will Sini "pretending" LOL... just because you have trust issues, doesn't mean eveyrone is the same
In all my 42 years I met more well behaved dogs than well behaved humans.
I mean life is pretty good when you receive food and shelter for pretending to love someone
My Dad used to say of Golden Retrievers that they're "sweet but dim dogs." As I see and interact with Goldens more and more over the years, though, I don't think they're dumb, I think they're just too happy-go-lucky to look as "studious" as other breeds.
They are just playful sweet babies
@Giselle Sinclairpeople think the same thing about happy go lucky people. As if we're too dumb to know what's going on, when in reality we just know nothing is worth our happiness.
Goldens are far from dumb...they're one of the most intelligent breeds, very intuitive. It's just that they don't prefer to be serious 😂
They aren't all "gifted" either... The one I grew up with was definitely the dumbest boy I ever had the chance to interact with. The sweetest, the cutest, but it was all fluff no brain :D Loved him through the roof with all I got. His sister was a whoooole lot smarter than him, though ! Ah... I miss them.
@Erin Machado All the Goldens I know of (including our boy) are well known for being super stubborn at times. And occasionally selectively hard of hearing if there is any chance of playing with other dogs 🤣
I started getting my golden accustomed to grooming at 10 weeks old and now (at 3) he's just as happy about it as this good boy - to the extent that he jumps up on the grooming table without being asked. He just loves the attention so much! Goldens are such sweet and patient animals
Oakley looks both like a distinguished gentleman, and also a typical happy Golden. I love him so much.
The goodest of the good boys.... He looks so calm and chill, like sitting on your porch watching the leaves fall an autumn afternoon
I love how this breed is very 'friend shaped'
You can tell how conditioned he is to grooming. No pulling whatsoever, just completely still. What a good boy!
Maybe its just because he’s a golden ? Mines are pretty nonchalant when i wash them they pretty much dont care lol
he loves conditioning
He is the goodest boy
I wish the same 🥺
He knows its his pamper day uwu
When you said hes a therapy dog for some reason I teared up. The idea of going through horrible hardship and being greeted by this beautiful face just hits my heart
Oakley is proof that beauty doesn't always have to mean youth ❤
My first dog was a golden, he was 12 days older than me and passed away in my arms when I was 13. That was back in 2008 and I still miss him every day. No matter when or where my death happens, I will be at peace knowing the first thing I see in heaven will be my boy.
This is the kind of dog you might find in the section of 'Hey I'm looking to adopt a near perfect dog'
Like yeah he didn't quite save any lives, but he is the family standard golden retriever, a beautiful and well mannered show dog, plus a therapy dog, how much nicer could he be!
Goldens are everything I love about dogs: affectionate, loyal, playful, and that smiley - looking jaw that makes them so cute. I want to adopt one (or a rescue with these traits) some day.
I say “Good boy” sometimes instinctively like the dog can hear me during these videos and Oakley definitely deserves it.
Me too man. I am all " Such of a good boi you are !" and everyone looks me weird
You're definitely not the only one lol.
I do the same thing!!
Most dogs are good dogs it's just that some are 'gooder' than others...lol
What a relief, I'm glad im not the only one 😅
What a golden goodboy! He looks so happy and smiley its contagious. Watching him is driving my depression away!
What a wonderful boy!
It's fascinating to me to think that transitioning retired show dogs into companion roles makes a ton of sense. It seems like such a natural path of life for them as it encourages usefulness and the understanding that they are still loved and needed. This should be encouraged!
Show dogs are pets during the week so there really isn't a transition. I show both my aussies and Flambo was a top 15 aussie last year we show maybe once a month and other than that it's adventures and normal dog life (more traveling probably) and just more baths :P
Oakley reminds me so much of my last retriever, not a thought between the eyes, but so patient and loving 🥰. Miss you piper, love you still.
The fact that you even groom cats is amazing. But look at Oakley's face. Now I need a Golden nugget. I mean retriever.
Oakley has nothing but fluff and love ❤
I need to give him the biggest hug, Oakley's so adorable 😭❤️
I wish the same 🥺
How do you have 1.6k and only two comments let me fix this😂
I have one except he’s a cream
Let me be the first one to give Oakley the biggest hug if that's okay with you as I just can't wait to squeeze him tightly into my warmest & softest loving arms, Belynda.
The obedient Oakley is so beautiful!! I love the run after the grooming ❤️
Everyone-no one can be perfect
Okley-hold my paw 🐾 🐶
Before his bath, Oakley looks so much like my deceased baby boy Biscuit that I almost cried. Golden retrievers are such a lovely dogs! They require a lot of time with training and grooming and upkeep though. My boy would get hot spots And they're not a good dog for people who don't have at least 5 hours of free time of day. What a beautiful grooming session!
Oakley is smiling and loving his grooming moment. ❤
Oakley looks like he takes great pride in what he does. My working dog is stoic in the same way. Other people will notice he doesnt play with other dogs that much. He only plays with like 3 specific ones. But its because he is doing his job, he wants to always do his job the best he can so hes more interested in watching and springing into action.
I lost count on how many times I said "good boy" for the whole duration of this video. Oakley is such a good boy.
@Axe Sus you don't?
He's the good-est! ❤
@Axe Sus because he’s such a good boi…
I’m the 556th like 😈
@Axe Sus Nothing wrong with that as long as you're not clinically insane :P
Oakley is just a dreamboat. What a good boy! I smiled this entire video. I see how he’s a good therapy dog. ❤
Oakley strikes me as the kind of retriever that very patiently stares at you, 4 inches from your face, while you’re sleeping-in on Saturday morning.
You cannot stay mad or depressed looking into the sweet face of a Goldy. The best dogs on earth.
My stepmom used to have a Goldie named Chance, a good boy who I considered the first real dog I was close to owning. My family all loved him, but as time went on he got old and he passed one day. He was a good boy, rest in peace buddy.
He was actually holding his head low and still while you did his ears and shifting his body weight slightly when you groomed certain areas. He's clearly used to being handled. Such a good boy.
One of the goodest boys I’ve seen on this channel, which is saying something!
@Jilly True! Aww 😂
@Jilly 🤗♥️
He did! I thought he was about to hand her the bobby pins. Such a cutie!
This reminds me of my baby girl. RIP Penny. ❤
Honestly my fav breed. I had a Golden Retriever/German Shepard cross growing up. Not from show dogs though, she was from a litter of farm dogs. She was super patient with us as toddlers and always followed us around the yard, watching for bears and keeping us out of trouble lol. I still miss her tbh.
Love how he was smiling when you trimmed his ears, then proudly sat on the porch taking the air.
He isn't just a retired show dog and a St John's Ambulance therapy dog, he's also a Very Good Boy.
You reached 2 million relatively fast, and it is well earned, this channel is a delight! ❤️🙏💞
How can anyone not love Goldens? They are the sweetest, most empathetic, gentlest dogs! Absolutely precious pups! 🇨🇦❤️🦮
I've had 2 goldens, my last one Rex passed away in September, he for sure took a piece of my heart that day. Seeing this made me happy.
I'd be soaked with hair all over me because I wouldn't be able to do him without hugging and loving on him the whole time!
I love how much patience and love you show for all of the pets your groom! I wish my dog was as calm as this retriever in the shower!
I love this breed so much. Our golden passed last year, and just like this one he was all love. He was our friendly, sweet, well mannered, always hungry, beloved boy.
You just made my day really good Girl With The Dogs. I’m getting my puppy today and this is the perfect example of how I would want my dog to be. Thanks for all the amazing videos.
I've always wanted a Golden Retriever. They're so beautiful. This guy has all the examples of why I want one.
Anyone else wishing they could be included in the grooming process for this 2 million subscribers give away? 🤣 I need a good rub down too. 😂👌🏼
I love that happy golden smile 😄
2:32 he is sooo patient🥰
That's the friendliest, most sincere face I've ever seen. The only thing more gold than his coat is his heart ♡
💛
Aww🥹
And this is the sweetest, loveliest comment!!!! 🥰
Oakley is the happy-go-lucky guy who became a school teacher cause he loves helping others.
This dog deserves to be as happy as he makes others.
My favorite breed :D
They are just the best puppers and I'd love to have one as my best doggy friend one day
Oakley is the most well-behaved dog, I've seen.
Dolce 1) has a mother that’s a groomer, 2) has a personal vendetta against the vacuum, and 3) wants to speak to the manager. Summerdale, AL, USA Labrador Retriever
Oakley was more behaved than most humans while getting a haircut. 👍🏻😊🐶
@Freedom Uninterrupted I bet you've seen all kinds/types of people; good, bad and the "just don't come back" again please. 😊😂😆
What?
As a show dog, he's been groomed enough times that he's been trained and knows exactly what to expect. He comes from one of the most relaxed, mellow breeds there is(one of the closest things to the ideal dog for 90% of households). Combine with that the fact that he's got at least one parent willing and able to invest top dollar for his needs(doing the show dog circuit is NOT cheap), and you have what is essentially every groomer's dream client.
As a licensed hairstylist that is the most accurate comment I have seen! Lol
The look Brennan gave Katie and she just immediately, wordlessly gets ready to throw hands
That wasn't a grooming. That was just a happy dog enjoying spa day 😀
My niece’s have a Golden named Bella. She is the sweetest pup!
My friend’s daughter used to show Shelties. Also sweet, smart pups. One was named Princess, and yes she indeed was a “princess”. 😉
What a good boy !!
I literally want to pet him from the screen 😀💕💕
This is so sweet it makes me cry, a golden had me for 12 years. I never knew a better friend in life 💕🐾🐾
You can definitely tell this dog has received encouraging and positive training. He’s so well behaved and so trusting. Excellent example of responsibility by the owners
Repent to Jesus Christ “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”
James 1:2-3 NIV

I had a smile on my face during the entire video, such a cutie !!
What a well-behaved dog. Look at how still he set while you groomed him
1:14 - The height of cuteness.
I learned two things just now: you're Canadian and that there's no monetary gain for winning. IDK how I never knew this because I always used to watch dog shows when I was younger. Also, he's clearly the goodest of boys!
I had a smile on my face for the whole video.
A very good boy. Calm, still when he needs to be, and just... vibin. I can see why he's suitable as therapy dog.
I like how you mentioned the need for some changes in certain breed standards. That’s always been my hangup with Show Dogs. We should always breed for the HEALTH of the animals, not their appearance. English Bulldogs, Frenchies, Bostons, PUGS, any and all brachycephalic dog breeds NEED a change to their breed standard. Additionally GSDs and any other slope backed breeds need a change as well. I’ve worked with Working Line Bred GSD’s and let me tell you not only are they massive but HEALTHY, and depending on the breeder their backs still may slope but not NEARLY as bad as Show Line GSDs. Hell even Bull Terriers need an adjustment to their breed standard of the Bull Terrier could use an update they have horrific dental issues due to their head shape. Thankfully some breeders are doing their best to turn things around. We have a few breeders here in Massachusetts who have been breeding Boston Terrier’s to have more elongated snouts and you know what? They’re beautiful and healthy dogs despite being out if breed standard.
Tldr;
We need to stop breeding unhealthy traits into dogs for aesthetics simply because it’s considered “Breed Standard”
wait this doggo is well behaved and not a drama queen. Such a calm and awesome Doggo.
Labradors and Golden's are my soft spot. They are so naturally adorable it's not fair
What an adorable pooch ❤️
Oakley: former supermodel and current professional good boy 🥰😇 This furchild was a joy to watch, especially after the Caucasian Shepherd and Pekingese videos 😵💫 I hope Vanessa gets many more well-behaved clients for a while... SHE DESERVES IT.
yeah the Pekingese was wild. I had the same thought - good that Vanessa had a dog that didn't try to eat her this time.
@MrSullismom Glad you understand, lol! I mean, *we* all enjoy watching when the Huskies come and sing the song of their people, when the Persians have some patches of difficult matting, etc, but goodness gracious Vanessa really has earned a break.
I was thinking the same thing!😀
😂😂😂
Woah!! The first time I've seen a doggy-client not be mildly freaked out by the pet cologne. Oakley is truly bomb-proof :)
Growing up, my family took in a giant schnauzer who was a retired show dog. She was used for breeding, and didn’t know life outside of a crate until she came to live with us. My opinion of show dogs is still skewed because of this, but it’s good to know that a lot of show dogs are beloved family pets.
His face when you’re clipping his ears oh my god 😭😂 so cute
My heart melts for him ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your channel . It has nurtured my grooming of my adopted dog.
Your commentary is both informing and funny
Him walking in looking so happy just melted my heart.
Oh yes c:
He's pure sunshine 💛
The bestest of boys! he deserves a new toy on the way home.
Also loved that he stays super still when the ear trimming starts xD
He's so sweet and well behaved!
Nothing happier than seeing Goldie smile
Oakley's diary:
8am: a walk! My favorite thing!
830am: breakfast! My favorite thing!
9am: bath! My favorite thing!
930am: blow drying! My favorite thing!
10am: hair clipping! My favorite thing!
Man, Oakley just radiates good boy energy
So in love with golden retrievers. They give love and they keep on giving it unconditionally. Who doesn't want to spoil them? ❤
He looks exactly like my Golden Retriever, My boy is 8 now, and still as energetic as a puppy. I named him Tucker.
He is so patient even humans don't have this much patience
I've always had golden retrievers. My dad's family is from Scotland, and it is the only breed he would search for when getting a new dog. I have one now, and he is my best buddy along with being the best buddy of anyone he meets. They are great animals.
He looked so relaxed: like you do what you gotta do, Imma gonna nap.
This made me miss my pooh bear so much. When I was born, I was brought home to a proud golden retriever. Who, for some reason, thought I belonged to him and him only. He was constantly watching over me and no longer wanted to be in the yard. He wanted to be everywhere I was at all times and even found a way to lay in the crib next to me. Which was very hard to do considering he was the largest golden I have ever seen till this day. He got scolded for climbing in my crib but would still get right back in there. He even growled at my grandmom and other family members 1 time for passing me around and holding me. He really felt like I was his baby. Lol
Eventually, people accepted that he was a proud dad, and he was allowed to become a house dog and was literally my best friend.
We even tried to figure out how to get him to come to grade school with me. Lol. I miss him so much.🐶💕
@Louise Bridges he was. I think about him all the time. 💕
@B I bet Ginger is still with you.💕
I got a golden named Ginger when I was 6. She was amazing, and my best friend.
Ginger would follow me around the neighborhood with my friends and trail my golf cart all day. While I hung out at any of my friends house, she would wait outside in the yard till I left or told her to go home (which she hated) 😂.. Id call home from my friends house to tell my mom ginger was on the way, to make sure she got home.
She was truly an outdoor dog, never saw a leash, and you couldn’t drag her in the house 😂. She lived in our yard with no fence, in a suburban neighborhood (never wondered more than visiting a neighbor next door). We had a pool, and a pretty good size yard for her to chase squirrels and tear up coconut’s all day. She lived 16 years, probably the best dog I’ll ever have.
What a lovely dog .
Lovely story. Sounds like he was a very sweet dog ❤
Had a Labrador smooth coat cross many years ago. He was the most gentle, person-friendly and obedient dog I've ever owned. I'd run a bath and didn't even need to ask him. He would just step in as if to say "I don't mind at all".
I genuinely love watching you groom current/former show dogs.
They're always so relaxed. It makes the vibe such a happy one.
this dog is so well behaved that i've found him almost too well behaved but he still a lovely good boy
I’d love to get into grooming if every dog would be as good as he is. ❤️
Oakley looks a lot like my girl ❤
And I've had a lot of dogs in my lifetime, but goldens are THE happiest and most eager-to-please breed I've ever experienced.
Oakley is a great example/embassador for behavior for a dog getting groomed. Chilled, relaxed, this is not a problem!! What a beautiful boy! and Rupert is a cutey too!
I agree; he reminds me of my golden. He is just happy to be there so you can really do anything. He even loves going to the vet because he gets attention and he never minds the temperature, vaccines, or prodding. It comes down to socializing him as a puppy but going to a very good breeder is the biggest difference. I've had a groomer say he was the best-behaved dog he has seen in his career which put a huge smile on my face.
Oakley is just, chillin. like, this is his pamper time, and he *enjoys* it
