Smart dogs can trim their own nails

[Figpukr]

how do you get the BACK nails???

[pamelamarxsen]

@Figpukr It is NOT easy! I have been working on the back nails for awhile and I have a little tap dance on the nail filing board right not. I have been video taping my sessions, so one day I will have a tutorial on it. :) Good Luck, it is a hard one to do!

I live where is it really muddy often. I have my dog "spin around" on a doormat in the mudroom before she comes in. That way her hind paws get cleaned, too.

Great job! At 5:10 and 5:50 was Bandit wanting his stuffed animal to take a turn on the trimming board?

[pamelamarxsen]

Yes, he loves his toys! Very toy motivated!

Hi Pamela,

I liked the music:)) and don't you love the different syles of Isabelle and Bandit?!

[pamelamarxsen]

Thanks! Yes, it is actually a lot of fun being able to communicate with them both even though they learn differently. Isabelle is so food motivated and Bandit is all about the toys. Have a great day!

<pamela, its a great video, even t looks simple I didnt think about it, so thanks its going to be very useful at this season!!!

It is pretty simple to teach. Have fun with it! Does it get muddy where you live?

This would be more instructional if the annoying music was deleted and we could hear the click or whatever marker or encouragement you are using.

Consider posting this again  with the concurrent sounds. thanks

Thank you so much for the comment. I wish that I knew how to get the sound from my cheap digital camera. A camera that does do video, but not very well. :( I do use a click but on the original video all you hear is silence with a few pops of noise. Sorry! When I get a real video camera, I will make more high quality videos. Thanks for watching it anyway.

It will wear down the middle nails, but you still have to cute the outer ones. Thanks for watching!

Very nice how to video.

Does the scratching on the sandpaper actually wear down the nails?
