00:00okay this is bad we've never rescued a dog this traumatized before this is scout he's only 11

00:06months old and we honestly have no idea how we're going to help him feel confident again

00:11he won't even look at us this is gonna be really tough so let's go to the moment we first

00:16met scout

00:18this is the first time scout has ever been in a home and straight away we could tell

00:23he's different to any dog we've ever rescued he just hasn't moved so i think the plan is

00:28try and get him into the garden yeah so he's probably in the toilet apparently he's weed on

00:31the floor so he's coming he's had a few accidents bless him he's weed himself pooed himself because

00:37he's just so scared he is absolutely terrified we need to get him into the garden he's probably

00:43pooped himself there yeah i'm just gonna sit here i'm not gonna pay him he looks super scared to be

00:48honest probably even me sitting here is scaring a bit we do want to get him into the garden because

00:52he clearly needs the toilet we've also got three dogs for him to meet we have no idea how that's

00:57going to work with him like this but for now let's just try and get him into the garden we

01:02have put

01:02down some puppy pads because he's so scared we probably just want him to go to the toilet we'll

01:09see how he is in the garden and then maybe just take him straight to decompress before meeting the

01:14dogs maybe we can move his crate so he's got his little section because he is terrified yeah you've

01:18never seen a dog like this scared i don't think it'd be fair to overwhelm him with all of the

01:23dog meets

01:23right now i think he needs time to just realize he's in a safe environment unfortunately he can't

01:28stay where he is now he can escape out the front door way too easily if it was opened we

01:33need to

01:33get him behind these doors so we at least know he's secure we've had to get a slip lead because

01:39he doesn't have a collar on him he doesn't have a harness on him because he's so scared the last

01:42thing we want to do is try and manhandle him have our face really close to him trying to put

01:46a harness

01:46on him and then get bit so unfortunately slip lead is kind of the only option we have right now

01:51even if we

01:52tried a collar or harness he'd be able to wriggle out scout has already attempted to bite someone

01:56during his journey here i'll explain what happened later but i don't have any bike gloves so some ski

02:02gloves will have to do i guess the puncture wound would be less yeah i don't think i honestly don't

02:07i think he's too scared i think he'd be too scared to bite you but if he did at least

02:10it's not going to

02:11be too painful for you i'm getting nervous now which isn't great because he's going to pick up on

02:14this that's the last thing i want i just want to be nice and calm and relaxed so first i'm

02:19going to do

02:19is sit opposite him i'm just going to put it here see if he wants to sniff it i'm guessing

02:24not

02:24poor he literally hasn't moved good boy so i'm just touching with it just see how he reacts kind

02:32of stroking with it i'm not entirely sure how i'm going to get this on him because he's resting his

02:36face on his paw scout scout what do i do i think you're gonna have to mate you're gonna have

02:45to get

02:46your hands in there should we get a treat there is no no the treat is not the answer ellis

02:51thought of

02:52an idea i'm gonna grab both sides and try and scoop this under his face then if he nips you

02:57it's it's

02:58you're okay you might have to put your hand physically down the side of the wall

03:07jj just get come on i don't want to you're gonna have to he's scared he's not gonna move because

03:12he just wants to be a small he doesn't he wants to be invisible obviously he's in a corner so

03:16it's

03:16very hard to try and put this on and not feel like i'm trapping him into a corner and then

03:20i came up with

03:20an idea to get this lead on the idea is i can use this to get his head to just

03:26move slightly up because

03:27i need is his head to just get away from his paw can you tell her that we're amateurs just

03:31trying

03:31to help yeah really gently oh there you go oh well done jj it's there right do you want me

03:42to take

03:42that's okay you've just dropped it on the floor right give me this hang on hang on

03:48okay don't tighten that around his neck yet let's just leave him with that so he just knows he's okay

03:53exactly right it's on now so now it's on we have to unfortunately now move him i really didn't want

04:00to do this but he couldn't stay here and you can see just how shut down he is i couldn't

04:05think of

04:05another way to move him because he kept going to the toilet we're going to bring him into the garden

04:10and see how he does there i'm gonna wait here he's going to the toilet he's just had a wee

04:25it's okay oh that was weed yeah he's very scared he's really scared it's okay come on scout boy come

04:35on come on it's okay come on come on come on good boy

04:43he is so frightened oh my god when he's had a pee he just doesn't want to move i don't

04:50think this i

04:51think we should put him in the garden no obviously not i think we just set up his crate in

04:55a separate

04:55area i've put all of the dogs away kobe's currently there in the conservatory i've put his bed up just

05:01so it doesn't get wee or poo on it the other two dogs are chilling in their crates and then

05:05we have

05:05opened his we're going to section it off so he has his little space in the corner he's literally like

05:11hidden his head because he just wants the ground to swallow them up and he's laying in his own way

05:15so

05:16unfortunately we are going to have to move them again i know it doesn't look great on camera but the

05:20thing is a lot of these time with these rescues when they're this scared obviously they won't

05:24move and he can't stay out here it's cold not only is it cold he's once again a huge flight

05:29risk being

05:29left alone in the garden so unfortunately we're going to have to move him just one last time i'm

05:35sorry scout uh do you want to move the bucket because it's going to scare him because of the noise

05:38i'm sorry to get rid of your hidey hole i'm sorry oh he's got dust stuck to his face okay

05:47sorry that is so cute he's got a little dash dash this is the first time he's even just looked

05:52around so i'm not even gonna move him yet i'm just i'm gonna let him just get his bearings he

05:56doesn't

05:56know where it is good boy oh you hide in the water bowl see tiny sniffs of the ground he's

06:03getting up

06:04he's thinking about getting up he's thinking about tucking himself i think he's trying to find somewhere

06:09else to hide yeah but he's this is the first time he's looked he might be able to smell the

06:14dogs

06:15and you can hear the dogs oh he's so cute he is he's really cute he's trying to tuck himself

06:20in

06:21yeah he is i think he's trying to make himself smaller yeah yeah he is i think just let's move

06:28him so he can have the whole day to decompress all right i hate this but i'm so sorry scout

06:32mate but

06:33sorry scout i'm just gonna think there's no point in even trying to do this gently nice he's gonna be

06:38erratic but but i mean gentle is the best thing so then i guess we're showing him okay it's so

06:44okay let's use soft voice good boy it's okay okay i know you don't want to move all right good

06:51boy

06:51move you good boy it's okay good boy there you go oh the water bowl good boy it's all right

06:59good boy oh it's okay it's all right keep no because he's gonna pee and wee in there that's

07:04fine he's gonna pee and wee everywhere yeah but let's just get him into the spot it's all right

07:12good boy good boy good boy good boy there you go good boy i want to take how do we

07:21take this off

07:23you're gonna have to you're gonna have to lean in there no thank you i've got an idea we have

07:29to take

07:29the slip lead off him because it's a huge choking hazard leaving it on good boy there you go it's

07:36nice and loose good boy nice there you go there you go there there you go good boy he's in

07:52there good

07:53i don't want to shut it on him because he's just been in the back of a van locked in

07:58a crate for

07:59three days so scout came to us from north macedonia he apparently had bit the driver when they were

08:04trying to get him out for toilet breaks and into our home i don't blame scout at all he's just

08:09so

08:09scared so we're just going to sort out the puppy pads tidy up the wee and everything and then we'll

08:14let

08:14these dogs out he may be in here for like days what would be interesting is how he reacts when

08:20the other

08:20dogs are here like like i said we know that he's friendly with dogs we actually visited scout in

08:25north macedonia and we know from this he loves other dogs so how will he be with our dogs so

08:31what

08:32i'm gonna do now is just open the door for this one we'll do one dog at a time i

08:37don't think he's

08:37even realized he's here come here you haven't even realized there's another dog there have you

08:43no kobe come look what's this come oh he's showing some interest there you go

08:50oh he's perked up a bit that's interesting he's trying to have a sniff of him

08:58he's really scared of me but you can see he's like oh there's another dog here kobe's being really

09:05good he's looking a bit more interested okay do you know what next dog i'm going to let out actually

09:09is cindy she's our other come on cindy she's our other rescue who's very scared so my guess is

09:15she may not do a whole lot i say she's very scared but oh my god she looks like the

09:19bravest dog in the

09:19world compared to poor scout when cindy first arrived she was absolutely terrified seeing her

09:25start to come out her shell is why we're rescuing more dogs like her this year hopefully we can do

09:30the same with scout if you'd like to support us hitting subscribe really helps we're trying to hit

09:35one million subs this year okay cindy i think is just a bit confused she's not entirely sure there's

09:40a dog here so let me let this one out yes good girl she also doesn't even know there's a

09:45dog here

09:45mokey come look there's a dog here look look there good girl she's sniffing oh there you go i think

09:55she's just realized well this is obviously not really a me but just what we're going to do for now

10:00he clearly just needs his area to decompress he could be in there for days we don't know but we're

10:05going to do what we usually do we're just going to give him this area let him decompress so we

10:09left

10:09him to decompress we noticed he even started stress panting for the first time which is actually

10:15good because he was literally too scared to even do that earlier after he had a good nap we attempted

10:20to feed him some dinner it is the evening time now scout has been chilling in his crate for about

10:26three or four hours and we've come up with a plan what we've got here is some rare steak and

10:32we're

10:32just going to see if he takes it no clue he's probably too stressed to eat but what dog is

10:37going

10:37to deny steak it looks like our other rescue would also like some steak we also have here some hemp

10:42oil

10:43to try and sort of like calm him down as well so let's see if we can feed him all

10:48right let's see

10:49how he reacts to this if i'm going to give it to him like this

10:54okay i think he's scared of my hand i'm just going to leave a bit there for him

10:57let's see what he does

11:00that's really sad because i've never seen a dog deny steak before i'm not even going to look

11:06at him please don't chew my hand off did he lick his lips no he's very frightened i don't think

11:13he

11:13wants it okay well what we're going to do then i'm going to leave him a couple pieces and let's

11:19leave

11:19him to it and let's see what he does he looks like he wants to eat it just too scared

11:24but we had

11:24another camera filming him and whilst we watched in the other room like anxious parents we see him

11:29actually eat the steak this made us so happy so we decided to leave him a bowl we are going

11:35to leave

11:36this in scout's crate with a couple drops of hemp oil scout was a street dog in north macedonia and

11:43it's

11:43likely he was badly treated by people and maybe even beaten that kind of starts to explain the huge

11:50trust issues you see we're going to leave him to it watch him on the camera and hopefully he eats

11:54that

11:54there's only a tiny bit of steak in there we just wanted to eat something he's probably starving the

11:58poor thing okay annoyingly the camera didn't pick it up but as you can see well i don't know if

12:04you can

12:04see the bowl is empty so i'm now just gonna very slowly try and take it out of his crate

12:11good boy scout

12:12he does not look very happy can i just take this so he must have actually gotten up and eaten

12:18it

12:19because look i'm gutted the camera didn't pick it up because obviously we thought he wouldn't actually

12:24move from that one position he's been there for about six hours granted he's still going to be

12:28decompressing so understandable so he left him to settle for his first night and he's literally been

12:34in that same position in his crate for 10 hours but at literally 7am the next day he finally moved

12:41we're so glad he actually moved but we were worried because he still hasn't gone to the toilet and in

12:46the next morning we had a plan to help him so the plan is we're gonna feed all the dogs

12:51we're gonna

12:51leave scout some food because he hasn't properly eaten he's been a bit scared i know we ate a tiny

12:56bit last night we've got kobe mokey and cindy's food right cindy yes let's go and do scout we have

13:06put

13:06some more hemp oil in scout's food to try and help with his stress a little bit he is fully

13:12tucked away

13:13in his crate so we're just gonna give him a little bit of steak terrified the poor thing absolutely

13:21terrified he didn't eat and that's okay but we wanted him to get used to people in the least

13:27stressful way i am very simply just gonna sit here with scout and also let him see kobe because we

13:35want him to just feel safe so i'm thinking if i just do this for like 10 minutes a day

13:40it'll hopefully

13:41get him used to being with dogs and being with people of course what's insane is the fact that

13:46i'm pretty sure he's never been in a house before and the fact that he hasn't obviously gone to sniff

13:51around or anything yet like literally nothing and a dog has to be like so insanely scared to not

13:57even wonder where they are really really sad to see so i sat there just completely ignoring him

14:03you can see how often he went to look at me but this is where both me and ella can

14:07show him not all

14:08humans are bad and then we couldn't believe it because we had our first mini breakthrough so we

14:14were doing a time lapse of scout ella just started putting treats in the crate and he's eating them

14:20must be really hungry that's so good oh he has to travel a bit for them i also wonder if

14:28he prefers

14:28woman more because i'm not making it i'm not looking at him at all he's a bit nervous to lean

14:33forward

14:33any tiny progress like this is a massive win ella then sits there with scout so he knows she's safe

14:39she then fed him dinner and he did this

14:47he's honestly the sweetest boy he even got up and started housing his food down we put him to bed

14:53and

14:54he actually started exploring for the first time too he got up and had a little sniff of the air

14:59remember this is his second night here and literally the first time he's even tried to figure out where

15:05he is he very cautiously steps out his crate is having a good look around and then our other

15:11rescue cindy growls at him and he gets scared this was at like four in the morning anyway i heard

15:21it

15:21so i came down and put a blanket over the fence so he can explore without being told off he

15:27then

15:27actually sits out his crate having a sniff of everything and finally goes for a wee i've honestly

15:34never seen a dog wee laying down before it must be because he's so scared the poor thing but we're

15:39so glad he's finally going to the toilet two nights in i was getting ready to call the vet if

15:44he didn't go he gets even braver after that he has a sniff of the camera and it captures this

15:50adorable

15:50shot of him even puts one paw on the sofa to see what's above it has a bit more of

15:55a sniff

15:56then goes back into his crate what a night of exploring for scout

16:02good morning everyone sorry i have a little bit of a cold but he went to the toilet

16:08good boy i'm gonna clean this up and i'm gonna get all the dogs fed

16:13so ella cleans up scout's puppy pads and then continues trust building with him

16:18this is our first trusting session of the day excuse me i'm still in my pajamas scout here has

16:25a breakfast he's still very shy but he will eat now when we're in the vicinity which is nice

16:31so we're gonna try and do some trust work so i'm just gonna lay a couple of these pieces out

16:37and see

16:37if he eats them i'm gonna sit here i've got my phone because i'm planning on sitting here for quite

16:46a

16:47while just so that he learns i'm not a threat i'm not gonna really make eye contact with him i

16:52don't want

16:53him to get too uncomfortable ella continues sitting there and her patience pays off because scout

17:00starts going for the treats we're only three days in and what a journey it's been already from

17:06literally being too scared to move and wanting the ground to swallow him out to showing tiny signs of

17:12hope but boy we have a lot of work to do a few nights passed and things only got harder
