| Re: That pesky nail trimming
I hope this helps understanding. Doing nails requires two things. Trust on the part of the dog, and leadership on the part of the owner. Few dogs are going to welcome nail grooming unless they are told they have to. That is the beginning. Once they understand that it is not optional and then recognize that they do not die or lose their precious feet, they accept better. I do believe it is a leadership responsibility to do them on a regular basis.
If we are to credit Milani's article, perhaps it is not the best thing to encourage an adult dog that you did not raise to "give paw". |
