Trim Training

Take your time when teaching your dog to tolerate nail trimming.

My question has to do with nail trims. My pup is deathly afraid of them. I have tried pairing the nail trim with something really good (yummy food, lots of verbal praise etc.) but he is really stressed. My veterinarian says once you start a nail trim you must finish or he will know he has won and put up the same fight next time.

It is not necessary to clip all your dog’s
ûnails in one sitting. Stop while your dog is
ûcooperating and resume another time.
