Chelsea Chihuahua Tutorial - Tricky nail Cutting

- Video tutorial to help cut the nails of a chihuahua who is both scared and stubborn. It took us 15mins to cut all four paws however we recommend you do little and often. One or two nails a day to help build confidence for both you and your dog. Do not give your dog to the groomers or vet to clip their nails, it will be very stressful for your dog. Better to do it at home in a calm environment. Good luck and feedback is welcome ❤️🐶
“Amber needs to under stand..... we’re not cutting her leg off” made me laugh so hard bc it’s how they act. I’m struggling so bad right now with out 4 month old chihuahua so stressful.
I would just scruff them they are so small dogs cant be that hard
ME TOO... KYA ACTS LIKE I KILLING HER LOL... I CAN KISS AND RUB HER LITTLE TINY FEET... BUT SHE GETS THAT LOOK OF HORROR WHEN SHE SEES THE CLIPPERS... STRESSFUL FOR ME... I DON'T WANT TO HURT HER FEELINGS.... BUT THEM CLAWS😳😳😳
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Milan Omari instablaster =)
@Milan Ahmad Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
😂 I don’t have a chihuahua but my little schnauzer is so dramatic when I try to cut her nails.
I’m relating to everyone in the comments so much right now 😅
My dog is way, way worse. I put her in a towel like a burrito and she squeals like she's being brutally murdered as soon as she sees the clippers or even a paper towel. She pees and poos on me or the vet when getting her nails clipped. She howls and bites and that's after a calming pet, play time and steak bites as a reward. I now have to drive her out to the middle of nowhere so my neighbors don't think I'm killing her when I clip her nails. I used to be a professional dog groomer. I've never once cut her nails too short. This dog on the video is an angel by comparison.
An assistant helps greatly. I am always there when the nails are clipped and the assistant holds while the vet clips. Over in less than 2 min and a lot less of an ordeal for the dog.
Best way is to cut their nails when they are tired.
My dog does the same thing
I take mine to the vet for toe nail clipping and my dog is great with them just takes minutes not stressful at all.
Mine is the same way. Great for the vet to her nails trimmed but at home.. nope..she won't let it happen lol
gail1919 my dog bear is a palm and Chihuahua mix acts crazy when i try to touch his feet when i brought him to the vet he bit the vet and pooped and peed on the table😂 i feel so bad when i try to clip his nails he flips out so much he migjt hurt himself
How do you know how much to cut without hurting the dog
An hour of calming him down??? Crappy video
I am tired just from watching. I am not sure if I can do this. LOL
My dad used to keep our dogs nails down and clipped just by walking them on the black top or streets where no on else was. 🙂
@@tamikaoliver2043 Walking helps, but I still have to take my Chihuahua to the groomer for nail trims regularly. I have cut them once or twice but I prefer letting the professionals handle it.
Easier to put her in a blanket like a burrito and stick the paws one at a time...works great for my 3 little scared chihuahuas
Genius wow
That actually sounds like a good idea, I think I'm going to try that with my little bowser.
I do the same for my chihuahua, I wrap him in a towel to cut his nails, I feel bad cause I know he’s scared but it’s bad to let their nails get too long
I was actually thinking of taking a towel and cutting out holes for the legs and having my father hold the towel up with the dog so he cant get at his legs and just doing is slowly.
Great idea. Thank you. My little girl fights me to the point of exhaustion, mine. I just say forget it and hope the groomers have better luck. That's a great idea.
I feel like my dog is going to paralyze itself while trying to do her nails. Like for real, it's horrible. 19x worse than this video. I should make my own channel.
mine does as well it bites like crazy, his nails are super duper long and its so difficult to cut his nails. im still young, my dog is 7 and we still arent able to. only our vet has been able to but we want to learn how to cut his nails ourself
...or send her your vid.
This video just reassured me that I am, in fact, a good chihuahua mom and doing it correctly lol. I’ve been told that the cuddle breaks are “babying her” but it works for us. Nail time is my only true struggle with her
they’re pets, you’re supposed to baby them!
Omg, its day four and I've only got 3 paws done on two of my chihuahua's. They absolute hate it, :| I love them and feel like I'm torturing them.
There was a quick fix for mine. They have to release the fear. One of my Chis screamed like he was dying when you even got near him with clippers.... even almost choked to death at a vet, trying to get away in a harness. Finally I just had someone hold him and let him exhaust himself completely (he actually released his anal glands on my mom lol oops) but after he was exhausted I was able to clip while she held him and he realized it wasn’t actually hurting him. Now he just comes to me when it’s time. He just had to release all that fear. He doesn’t love it but he rarely struggles and the ear-piercing screams are no more.
Awesome :-)
That touch technique didnt do anything
Thanks for the video! It's very helpful. I want to start grooming my chihuahua at home instead of taking him to the groomer but he bites so i know it won't be as easy as all the other tutorial vids make it seem lol. Good to see one where the dog is fighting it and you still manage to get it done :)
Wish I could see this video with volume
IKR? Take away that awful music and let us hear the actual sounds.
Thanks for the video. My wife who overheard the music said it sounded like merry go round music. If anything, I learned that nail clipping is as unpleasant for other dog owners as it is for me.
If only I was as lucky as you. All she seems to do is struggle a little. My little chihuahua goes full psycho when he gets upset. He definitely has fear aggression and I couldn't even do this if I tried... he would draw blood
Whats more, the more you try to persist the more he starts to anticipate it, to the point where he is then actively looking for it coming and reacts in advance
Same. My fingers are scarred.
wow... I don't really know how lucky I can consider myself. Now I love my little one even more, since I see how other dogs struggle. Doing my Chiwi's nails for the 6th year now, with a big toenail cutter. I did not want to have her injured (like my former dog - once somebody let him jump off the table that he was limping for weeks, at another salon he had deep cuts between his paws, another time 2 nails injured/bloody - cut WAY too short, and so on), many groomers don't even take dogs this size for toenails. Honestly, she does not like having it done, but she lets me do it, with the occasional 'paw-hiding-attempt'. Have to have her first on my lap, and then get the clipper, my eye glasses, and the treats, or she hides in her 'house' (her sacred place, where I would never drag her out). Before we start, the bag with the tiny cat treats is right in front of her, she gets many kisses while I'm clipping, and after each pawsie she gets one 'Temptations Seafood Medley'. She gets them only when we do the clipping, and I know she is crazy about these treats. So, I would say, within 5 minutes or so, we are done. Then there is one special liver treat "for the road", and lots of praise and kisses, and she is bouncing around because I am squeaking loudly: 'Mama is SO proud of you, Putzi!!!'. Unfortunately, three weeks ago, I did not sit right in front of the window, where I can see how far to cut.....and...I cut her.... No blood came, but she was HORRIFIED, the sound that came out of her!!!!! Like she would be slaughtered! I felt so bad, but I guess she'll overcome that shock. It's already necessary, I waited as long as possible, but I can see that the nails are too long. AFter the cutting she is usually even more energetic than before, because of the shorter nails. They grow so fast, I should actually cut them every week. Love your video. Edit: we just did it! 6 minutes, clocked. There was a lot of shaking for the first 2 minutes, but now she trusts her mama again. haha.
xD I laughed and learned, thank you for you comment.
Can u help me please so im truing to cut my chihuahas broken and bleeding nail bud everytime i try he turns into a demon and even bit my moms boyfriends hand and started to bleed like hes so scared I almost cried cuz i felt bad
No need to feel bad
The struggle is real. She looks just like my baby, and my baby acts like I am going to kill her. How old is she here?
I don’t want to force my lil chihuahua to be stressed and upset each time!! I really appreciate that you take the time to calm your lil one down and teach her that the clippers aren’t going to hurt them! I struggle with the force and your videos are exactly what I needed! Gentle and patient! Which will make things easier and easier over time!
It helps if you do nails after bath time and they still a little damp than wrap them in t large enough bath towel they feel more secure and they are easier to handle all bundled take one foot out of towel only they only can bite or scratch when u got them all out
That music is awful and really distracts from what you are showing us. Jus sayin
I sit on the couch with a throw pillow on my lap. I sit my dog on the pillow and lean her back against my chest to cut her nails. That's the best way I have found to cut a small dogs nails. If the dog is really small I do it on a bed sitting up with my knees bent.
Reward training would be so much better for the dog I have 11 chihuahuas who all cope with their nails being trimmed really well.... I also worked in a dog groomers for 10 years so have cut thousands of dogs nails and have never had one I couldn’t clip....with positive reward training ❤️
what I'm confused about... I dont know what angle to cut tha nails or how far I should clip them... n could I use schoolastic scissors or do I buy specific scissors??
Great video and advices . I have the same experience in trimming my chi's nails . It's important to be patient , calm and give time to the dog. I hope this video will help other dog owners and their dogs :)
That tri chi looking, so funny looks like shes saying " whats the fuss cut em nails already" lolol
I have absolutely no issues trimming my Chihauhua's toe nails. $15 dollar for each dog at the Penny Paws mobile clinic at my local Walmart parking lot.
Why does a dog need to have its nails clipped? After all, he managed for thousands of years without a nail clipping.
Please don't stress your chi to exhaustion. This just shortens their lifespan. Please use the towel burrito method or a hammock with their legs dangling freely. Also, treats, treats, treats.
The visual seems to be a common problem regardless of the dog. When they see what is happening, they tend to freak. Also, the clipping sound seems to be disconcerting. Therefore it seems shielding vision and noise reduction can greatly alleviate much of the fight. I also, like the wrapping technique mentioned below by Baby Blue.
The inherent problem with this video is that the paws need to remain at a natural angle. if you notice, the paws are being slightly twisted outward, putting pressure on the dogs joints. Not a slam on the person making the video because they are trying to encourage owners to do this, but we found that as soon as you put a little focus on keeping the paws straight, your dog with some repetition, will allow you to cut their nails. It's a mistake we all make but one is easily overlooked.
Thats what I'm confused about... I dont know what angle to cut tha nails or how far I should clip them...
I always put a sock over my chihuahuas head and then wear leather gloves that almost come to my elbows when I cut my dogs nails. He is a very vicious little shit!!
Esa no es la forma de tratar de cortarle las unitas a un cachorito solo lo estas torturando luego subiré un video de como hacer una buena relación con el cachorito y el corta unas.primero tienes que pasar el corta unas del cachorro como jugando pero sin cortarle las uñas eso lo tendras que hacer por unos 3 meses !!después empezaras por cortarle primero una patita después con paciencia la otra en otra ocacion vuelve a jugar con el corta unas y sus patitas y así sucesivamente asta que te ganes su confianza.
I have a chihuahua and everytime we try to cut his nails h tries to bite us or slip his foot out. He hates it with a passion, his nails are ridiculously long.. we might get the groomers to do it but we are scared he will try bite them! Any tips?
what I'm confused about... I dont know what angle to cut tha nails or how far I should clip them...
My chihuahua goes totally nuts when I try to do anything. It’s just impossible. She turns into a piranha..
OHHH, im so happy im not the only one here.My chi turns into devil- frowns that nose and those teeth comes out...I literally tried everything... Back to the drawing board
OMG there soooo cuteeeeeee!!!!! AAAAA!!! IM GONNA DIE WITH THAT CUTE CHIHUAHUA!!!!!❣️
My chihuahua isn't having it I was only able to cut the nails on his paws and not his feet.
Omg this is what I go through with mine every month!
My dog is like this but with a dremel, so it’s a lot worse.
start brushing their teeth young too before it's too late,handle their paws a lot
MY chihuahuas are the same. I don't know why they are affraid
I have a chihuhua and a tiny muzzle works wonders!
I love the black and tan inquisitive dogs. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The easiest way is to have someone hold the dog and calm her/him down while you're trimming the nails. It always worked for us
Can you send your missus round to mines then? pfft
Our Deer head is way worse than this. Vet has to do it!
what about a grooming harness?
Chihuahuas are like super energy balls ❤🐶❤🐶❤
Going to tackle my Sophie’s nails.. thank you
miss pebbles dont like nails clipped!
I have a 3lb chihuahua you can see a pic of him on Instagram @ Tonialovestater and he makes a cameo appearance on a couple of my videos on my RUclips channel. I have to trim his nails. I usually have to let the bet do it but they charge me $12 so if am gonna try again to do it myself. Wish me luck . Your fur babies are so cute
Really wrong way of thinking but I wish I could sedate my Chihuahua and clip his nails. Mines a pug cross so he's a bit bigger and 50% worse at defending himself. I usually have a Lady come over and do em for $20 but with the current situation, I stuck with a tap dancing treat beggar .
Please take the annoying music off. Terrific coaxing and reassuring but if you fast forward, how on earth can anyone see how long the nail is, or the quik. It would be so much more beneficial to hear your voice correcting or reassuring her. You ripped yourself off. This could have been a great video. Sorry but.........dayum..........................OK, so I got to the end. Your subtitles are great. Just would rather have been taught by you as you went along. Your video could have been the best on youtube. Thank you, just keep it real - lose the shitty music, speak to your audience so we can hear the tone of what you are saying. Chihuahua Power to you.
Strait jacket or general anaesthetic is best! 😀 I haven't conquered this ... yet. My vet will have to do my Kelpie's initial and maybe second trim. From down here 🦘
My Chihuahua Paco has a nail curved into his tiny front Paw. I was lazy went to vet. They got it bad other front Paws. I know it hurts him. Attempting to do this myself.
Thank you for the tutorial. A great workout 💪☺️.
I have a 2 month old one I rescued from a country road someone dumped 20 miles from the city, I play with him for about 2 hours till he is pooped out tired and trim his nails. He is a feisty lil booger but happy afterwards with a bowl of warm food and a bed to sleep it all away afterwards
The trick is give them sweets. Sweets and patience are the solution to stuborness.
That's how I'm training my puppy. She was scared of the wind, so I gave her treats once in a while and then she got used to it.
Now I don't have any problems when I try to dry her hair, and she also learned lots of tricks. (She's 11 months old now
The music
My dog tries to bite me 🙄
Ugh just looked up this video because the struggle is sooo real. Mine is a chihuahua mix so he’s bigger too! He’s a big baby! Love him soo 🥰
Too funny, but accurate for my dogs. I tried to clip my 2 dogs' nails because the salon is closed for walk ins during the virus. But strangely enough if you want to book a complete grooming session you can.
Good job
Thank you! My sweet Ginger wriggles and whines and makes it sound like torture. But I’ve never seen the touch technique. Trying that after a long long long walk.
Really helpful I don't feel such a failure now. Dempsey was just 1 in September and when he was younger he was fine maybe he's just showing me that he's a big boy now. It took me a few days to settle him to get a sweater on and he likes it when it's on because he knows we are going for a walk so I'll figure out something special for when he gets his nails done. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing. Great tips I liked that...music not so much. It would have been better to hear your voice and tone as you talked to your puppy.
This is how my dog is, except he just growls and bites me
Wish I would have seen this before I took my chihuahua to the groomer this weekend. This is now the 2nd groomer that she has bit where she drew blood and they needed medical attention. Thank you for creating this great video.
Sometimes it works better if one person holds the dog and the other person clips. If you have two people around!
Torture. Get a electronic filer
Because of the noise, it's worse.
Watch the video of the lady wrapping her chi like a taco in a blanket. Works great.
🙄😔😩
Haha, ciężka praca :)) Moja Chihuahua w domu nie pozwala ciąć pazurków, a u lekarza- siedzi grzecznie i cichutko :))
Omg I make the same checheche noise! Totally works to make them stop doing something wrong
My chi is so stubborn! I'll try your technique. Thanks.
Chelsy reminds me of my dog cheena she fights me when i cut her nails just like chesly
I have to take my 3 Chihuahuas to my vet to get their nails cut.
Use a towl to wrab her up and pul on leg out at a time
That is so rude to assume people who have the vet or groomer clip the nails are "lazy."
Blueapril05 why is it? I do 😊😊
Sarah Sankey you do what?
I definitely agree, I'm afraid to cut my bowsers nails because I heard that the nails can bleed, and I don't know how short to cut them
People who have the vet or groomer clip the nails ARE "lazy."
@@michaelunderdog5039 Who even cares? In the end their dog is getting their nails clipped. It's no ones business or right to judge over WHO does it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣mayn those dōgz are cute 😍😍😍
This is seriously helping with our Edithe Beadithe. Thank you!
is that Enid Blithin as Gaol?
Other method is make them run around on stone pavement or cement and those nails will go away by themselves
@@honeycat535 I don't know what you are saying! My chis are out in the yard all day and their nails trim by themselves
I would do one nail, then a couple of hours later do another one or two, in a couple of days they were done, my chihuahua was very fussy, this one is fussy but not as bad as mine.
Why kill a good tutorial with agonizing music????
