A woman was left in hysterics after her boyfriend took drastic action in order to cut her dog's nails.

Chrissy, who lives in Indiana, was determined to trim her dog Harlan's nails, but to say the pup isn't a fan is an understatement.

In a video shared to her TikTok account @bluegrass.brat on July 22, she explained they had to "buy a contraption to put your dog in so he doesn't bite you when cutting his nails."

She told Newsweek that her boyfriend called her to look at something Harlan was doing, saying: "I walk into the kitchen, didn't see Harlan anywhere as I was looking for him on the ground."

And then, she looked up.

In the video, Chrissy can be heard in pieces, laughing at Harlan, who is suspended high above the ground over the kitchen counter in a special dog hammock to stop him from turning.

As Chrissy and her boyfriend, Johnny, collapse into hysteric laughter, Harlan is perfectly still, watching the two humans fall to bits around him.

She explained to Newsweek that Johnny was "on a mission to trim Harlan's nails," and the couple had bought a dog hammock for that very reason.

Johnny called Chrissy from another part of the house, and when she "finally looked up," she saw Harlan "hanging from the ceiling being very still," and immediately knew she had to record the brilliant moment.

And TikTok users loved it, with the video being watched a whopping 54 million times and racking up 7 million likes, with one commenter joking: "Love the new chandelier, what brand is it?"

"That's taking air jail to a whole new level," another said, with one joking: "He looks like he's about to be sacrificed."

"The dog is aware that you are finding amusement at his expense," one said, with another insisting Harlan was "plotting his revenge."

Chrissy told Newsweek that Johnny chose to hang Harlan over the kitchen counter as "the hooks that are in the ceiling are sturdy," adding people seemed "super concerned" about clipping the dog's nails in the kitchen, but that was the reason why.

And, most importantly, it worked, as a later video showed Johnny managing to trim Harlan's nails, high above the ground. And while Harlan was still clearly not happy about it, he didn't nip.

Six-year-old Harlan is far from the only dog who dislikes getting his nails cut: some dogs, regardless of their breed or age, may have huge anxiety when it comes to the process, and even usually calm and gentle dogs may bite.

This could be from a previous traumatic or painful experience, or may just be down to the dog's own personality.

Owners are encouraged to get their dogs used to nail trimming early, preparing them by handling their paws and teaching them it's a pleasant experience from when they're young, the American Kennel Club writes in an online article.

Allowing the dog to sniff and touch the nail clipper, while rewarding them with treats and praise, before trimming their nails for the first time, can also help the dog with any anxiety.

While some dogs will allow you to clip their nails sitting on the floor or on your lap, others—like Harlan—will require some form of restraint.
