Rudy you are the best. Story time with me. I have a client (good person) he doesn’t have the money for a groom and he doesn’t want me to do a free groom (ok, I get it). I asked him can I at least get his paws he looked at me puzzled and I broke it down why and he agreed to his paws being done 😁 It’s not always about the money . Keep up the great work Rudy
I know he felt so much better when you were done. I clip my dogs nails and usually do fine but last time I hit 3 quicks on one dog, didn't bleed much and he seemed fine, but to my eyes the nails still didn't look very short. You did this with such ease and even while cutting off so much, you never hit the quick. I'm impressed.
Quicks can be long or short depending on the dog regardless of the nails length. I have hit the quick once on each of my two dogs and after I started clipping in very short increments to prevent it. If you see the dark center you know you’re very close to the quick and to not clip more. I generally do 2-3 short increments per nail per trim session and I clip my dogs’ nails about once every 2 weeks. Since I started clipping this way I haven’t hit a quick.
Thank you for helping the doggie feel better. 😊 My pug is getting overgrown nails because I dread the fight with him. I had him trained to enjoy it and he was the BEST at the vet and nail trims, until some rando groomer traumatized him. 😡He was boarded while I was on vacation and they trimmed him. The next time I tried to do it? He went full PTSD, flailing, screaming, whale-eyed pug panic, and BIT me. The thing is, I can't afford constant groomers or vet visits, and there's one nail I have to watch VERY closely because it hugs his toe as it grows. It easily can start poking into it. His fear is improving, but very VERY slowly. It's been two years and he still poops in fear just by seeing the nail clippers, so I got a grinder instead. He gives me a suspicious side eye while "tolerating" the session, eating up the praise but also too nervous to be excited for his precious treats. Yet. I might try to steal his feet, y'know? Once the freaky tools get put away he takes off, pug powered zoomies launching him all around the house like the wind!
It’s crazy how long dog nails can grow. This reminded me of your older video “When dog nails get too long.” The dog must feel fully relieved after you clipped its nails. You guys do such an incredible job, great work😉❤️👍!
Bless her she will feel so much better now,I hope the owner doesn't let the nails get that long again.She seemed to have something wrong with her eye aswel poor girl.Welldone Rudy you always do a good job and show us interesting videos,thankyou ❤💛💚🧡💜💙🐾✂️
Rudy, thank you for another great video. I adopted my first dog over six months ago and she was fearful of strangers and needed her nails trimmed. After reviewing many videos, yours were the only ones that spoke to overgrown nails like hers and how I shouldn’t dremel them while they were so long. She was patient with me and you showed me how to see the quick in black nails. With your guidance about gaining and keeping her trust first, we have slowly gotten her quick to recede and she relaxes through the 5 minute sessions knowing peanut butter awaits. THANK YOU for making these videos and giving us the confidence we need to take care of our dogs!
I don’t care if you are bed bound, YOU FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE YOUR DOGS TO THE VET OR GROOMER!! Yes, I’m judging tf out of people like this, because if you can’t care for your animals, FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN, OR GIVE THEM UP FOR ADOPTION! Even if you don’t want to because you can’t imagine life without them, YOU NEED TO DO WHAT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST! They are just as important as YOU ARE. Do whatever it takes to make sure that animal is taken care of. Period.
For my personal dogs (certainly not a grooming pro...), nail-trims have always been a harrowing experience for all involved. Getting a diamond-bit grinder for my dremel has made ALL the difference in nail trims. 1) no clippers that draw blood 2) they didn't like the paper grit barrels 3) diamond bit is contoured and doesn't heat up like the paper ones, and less vibration/chatter, so they're ok with it. The huge thing (after 25 years of dog ownership) is they don't like to be standing or sitting while I do them. I've taught them to lay on their side or backs (psychologically teaches them to relax) and let them have a spa-day while I grind their nails. The nail trims over the past year since I got the diamond bit has gone from a terrifying chore for everyone to a "me first!" response from my dogs, coming up and rolling onto their backs so I can grind their nails. OMG! Such a difference!
Is it a ball shaped bit or the wheel shaped one? Could you post a link to what you use pls? Thanks, I have a large dog too that groomers can't wrangle long enough to cut his nails. They always return in after a few clips and full refund lol
Great Job, Good Information. Always good to get a refresher HOW TO from a pro, for self Improvement. I've been clipping my dogs nails for several years and likely doing it wrong as far as locating the front paw vain. I going to review again to see how to locate on the back foot. Thanks again!
Awwww, precious baby. It's scary for me to cut my 9-month-old Chihuahua-mix's nails, but my son helps keep her calm as I cut. Thank you for the cat clipper idea, I think I will buy those! I've always had big dogs and assumed the small dog nail clippers would be fine, but they are too big for my tiny pup. I used to use my nailclippers when I first brought her home. Love your videos! Thank you!
Rudy - you always make me so grateful to have discovered you years ago. I was SO nervous about doing my dogs nails, and your calm nature really helped me conquer my fears - and I'm so pleased my YorkiPoo and I have a regular routine. No problems!! Thanks for continuing to show us what can happen if we don't keep up with these things. The pads on this little cutie really looked sore...and honestly...how could they not be. Thanks again and Happy 4th!! 🇺🇸 🎆
I'm 68 which should mean experienced, but i struggle. Long time back heard the term "just tip them" if I'd let them get too long, once s week. I watched this & it did take you just 5 mins at most. Some i take to vet. Pitties are too thick & 1 chiweenie bites at me when i try. Vet muzzles her. Thanks for sharing bc my 3 are my all. I lost husband and youngest son result of our housefire. Son got me out & went back inside for 8 mini weinie dogs but was too late. Oldest son had heart attack here at house. All my furbabies are on my bed with me every night. BFs forever!
@@GroomingByRudy was able to get my livestock guardian dog's rear dew claws fixed quickly this morning thanks to your instruction. Feel terrible for not noticing they had circled around into the pad. But, using a goat hoof trimmer took care of them quickly and cleaned them. Will be monitoring now to see if the more eggregious will require more attention. Feel so bad. But so grateful I did not have to make her suffer longer til a vet had availability.
I adopted a little shitzu Chihuahua cross a few years ago her for was really matted it took the groomers six hours to get it all off but her skin was clean and her nails trimmed
Nervous English Cocker Spaniel grooming and nail clipping, please. Black nails to clip and my dog is very nervous. I'm in the UK. Thank you for you channel
How do you clip so much off without hitting the quick? My mom has Yorkies and one dog really needs his nails trimmed, but I'm afraid we'll trim to short and it will bleed.
A lot of the time the owners just don't see it for whatever reason. My in-laws were looking after an elderly gents little dog and were told its old and arthritic so can walk and is blind. I picked it up and under the matting it's claws were curled into its infected pads and it was blind because mats had encased its face and over the eyes. I wasn't willing to do anything it needed a vet to assess what damage was done. Next day it was doing zoomies around the house. Lucky no damage to eyes.
Please say you told the owner to go to a vet to get their pups skin looked at because that looked like a bad skin infection all over her body and to get antibiotics for that abscess so it doesn’t get worse. That poor puppy I am so glad you were able to help her.
I'd be petrified to go this low, my shorkie I take a lil off but probably not near enough cause I hit a quick and didn't feel like I went short really. I felt so bad I almost had a heart attack and grabbed the flour.
These great but not helping my with my golden retrievers. They are much larger and normally require sedatives to get their nails clipped. I can’t afford the crazy vet bill and my heart breaking because I feel I’m neglecting my pups. Carter is not having it and even now has my younger one biting me when I try. He had never bit before but that was NOT a play bite
It saddens me to watch this! I just want to mention that I don't know if it's necessary to pull the cut nail off after you clip/cut it. It seems to be uncomfortable for the little guy. 😢
This poor little girl looks like she has skin issues over her whole body. All those pink raw looking patches. I hope her owner takes her to the vet to get that looked after.
@@shirleyjessome5047 This dog was rescued by one of my best clients..She may have very well been on the street, but if I remember correctly, She may have been rescued from a hoarder house..We appreciate you watching..Thank you
I feel secondhand relief for this dog
Omg me too. I’m feeling terrible right now.
Rudy you are the best. Story time with me. I have a client (good person) he doesn’t have the money for a groom and he doesn’t want me to do a free groom (ok, I get it). I asked him can I at least get his paws he looked at me puzzled and I broke it down why and he agreed to his paws being done 😁

Use a very thick nail file and use if scared you will nic his quick.

BECAREFUL they don't need to be that short!
Poor darling, thank you for helping him
That’s nice You don’t JUDGE the owner
That's alright, I judge enough for the two of us
Thank you for helping the doggie feel better. 😊

What brand clippers do you use? I would like to purchase these.
The ones in this video,I'm using cat nail clippers, by Top Performance..
How do you know where to cut the nails?
