Finally Naming My Tiny Rescue Chihuahua Puppies! 

Yes i agree. The time is ticking by. I have nothing against Joey, but aunyt and the mumma is a difficult case. You dont grab them like that. They are so afraid and they anxiety are at a high level. Joey test to give her CBD oil. Always have treats with you. Find out what they love. And yes you have them in smaller place first, but they can see thrue it, so its big for them. You should have them in a bathroom, little bathroom. Dont be afraid to ask for help Joey. There are proffessionals out there. Have the dogs seen one of your own dogs? How did they react? Its also good for an abuse dog to be in pack, then they start to trust you because they see the other dogs trust you. But if i was you. I would have placed them in proffessionals hands. Because this is a whole another level of abuse. It have been a time now, and they should be around people now, just watching from a distant, all the time, and then they will come to you. I hope you do the best for them Joey. These fear-based behaviors don’t improve until the underlying issues have been dealt with. Further, as the fear worsens, so does the problem behavior. Dr. Dan Estep, PhD and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB), notes that, unfortunately, early and perhaps subtle signs of fear - ears pulled back, tail tucked, avoidance - are often discounted as things that all dogs do. If these signs are ignored, the signals may become more obvious and include panting and dilated pupils. Even then, it may be possible to distract the dog from the fear source. But, over time, fearful dogs act more intensely, become harder to distract, and then become destructive or reactive. Only then, when the problem is much more serious and harder to resolve, do people seek help. That’s why it’s so important to recognize the signs of fearfulness in dogs and intervene before the behavior becomes more difficult to deal with. According to Dr. Estep, “fears have behavioral, physiological, and subjective components.” Some dogs flee in an attempt to avoid the stimuli that elicit fear; these dogs may hide under the bed or behind their guardian, or simply turn away from whatever it is that frightens them. The appearance of some dogs’ eyes change when they are afraid: the pupils may dilate, or more of the sclera (whites of the eyes) may be visible in an expression known as “whale eye.” This may be the result of a dog watching what frightens them by moving their eyes so they can see it without looking at it directly. Or, a dog may scan an area repeatedly in a highly vigilant manner. Fearful dogs may also adopt telltale body postures: crouching in a lowered body position or lying down and freezing. Many dogs whine, bark or make other distress vocalizations. A fearful dog who is forced to confront or contend with what’s scaring them may become defensively aggressive while still exhibiting signs of fear.

agreed!

@@kathleenschoultz great info - I hope joey reads this. it is worrying her behaviour could escalate into aggression because she's not being read and treated correctly :(

Finally someone said it!!!! Thank you!!!

@Aster-hr2tu....You gave very good suggestions. The only thing I would add is to not come at them from above and to try and have the camera closer to their level for filming. That may be less scary for them.

I agree with all that you said! Huge respect to Joey for all that he does. Thanks to him, all these animals get to go to proper homes and be happy. It’s rlly nice to see. (Also, this is totally unrelated but I’ve seen you commenting on Jay’s vids too omg, fancy seeing you here too😅)

@@Luna11037 I completely agree and wow who knew I’d stumble across someone who noticed me on Jays videos, ahhh thanks ml

I love your profile picture!

@@Chip_Is_A_Gamer thank you

Random I love that profile pic ❤

GSDs are THE BEST! Shame the breeder treated their own puppies like that!

Joey brush your Huskies! lol

I wish I could give this comment a super thumbs up if that was a thing🙌🏼🙌🏼I’m honestly super proud and my sister also saved a dog from a shelter that had a very troubled past that’s mostly unknown but was terrified of any loud noises and would be very shy and anxious but now is the biggest teddy bear ever and is so sweet

I got my GSD from the shelter when she was a year old. She is very wary of strangers, especially men (I think she may have been abused) It's so sad and I wish I knew her history!

Breeder*

That and i think chihuahuas tend to be more of an anxious breed.

@@emcaitlin These guys aren't typical Chihuahua anxious. Not after the hoarding situation they came from

​@emcaitlin as a person who has had chihuahuas for years and whose parents have bred them, this is not normal. Chihuahuas actually are very confident if raised properly, i.e. like a dog and not a delicate baby that needs overprotecting. They're also highly trainable and loyal just a little stubborn at times. They do often have genetic aggression issues unfortunately due to bad breeding and being smaller than everything around them does make them naturally nervous and cautious of new things just like other small animals like rodents and birds. Being small in our world is scary. But if exposed to the world properly and safely they are actually quite confident little guys :). These chihuahuas have been unsocialised for generations and the mother has probrably had to fight to survive. I hate to be that guy but joey needs to be taught how to interact with nervous dogs if hes going to continue rescuing because honestly, he's going about it all wrong. He's being way to threatening to the mother and the older pup.

@@laurenedge6392”instead of being that guy” maybe give Joey some tips to help him out… even if you think Joey is going about it all wrong, at least he’s trying.

@@Drxppy.aaliyah_ Exactly. Joey's heart is in rescuing dogs! If anyone can help, he can

They may have to complete their deworming/isolation time first.. but i agree!

Where is Daniel? I dont see him lifting his fingers on pupplies. It is Joey's one man show. Oh now he appears So the Chinese proverb " Day time dont mention the person, Night time dont talk about devil" 😂😂😂

I know right! 😮 Hunter has gotten so big already! It feels like just yesterday she was just a puppy! She and Monty look almost identical 😮

I agree👊

Auntie is probably one of my favorite ones, I really wish he was an “Auntie” seriously he is my favorite, gave off Auntie vibes but is a boy unfortunately, still gorgeous 🙃🩷

I actually like the name nugget. I had a possum named Nugget. I have two little ones now, one named Marty and one named Jesse.

It looks like auntie has been hit because he's scared when he sees your hands. he doesn't mind petting, but when you reach out to him, it looks like he's expecting to be struck. Which is really sad. I had a chihuahua who was the same.
