How To Stop Your Dog from Jumping
Allow your dog to jump up on you just as he normally does. Only this time catch his paws with your hands.
..:::How To Pet
One person will wrap the chihuahua in a towel. They love to snuggle so it shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish. Make sure the feet are accessible.

The other person will be the clipper. Be sure you inspect the toenails to see how far back the quick is. Making your chihuahua bleed won't help your cause so be careful. If you can't see the quick clip only the tips or have a professional groomer trim the nails.

The person holding the chihuahua should cover the dog's eyes once the clipper is ready. Covering her eyes should keep the dog from jerking her feet away since she doesn't see the clippers coming.

Praise the puppy for being such a good dog!
