How to train your dog to relax for nail clipping

Check out this video to see how you can get your dog to relax and be calm during nail clipping. Splash my BC falls asleep most of the time when I clip her nails. This is the safest way to clip your dogs nails without them struggling or snapping at or biting you.

ive also known through alot of the vids, THAT KIKO ALWAYS HAS HIS/HER TAIL DOWN UNDER< WHY IS THAT

[kikopup]

Shes always cold. Her back is also always hunched over and she shivers. When she sits or lies she will tuck her tail under her. She has two heating pads in our house that she spends all day on even though we live in San Diego. She never in her life has panted except in the desert when it was over 100 degrees.

Got a lot of work to do with my 90Lb, 2yr old dog. He thinks I am killing him. It seems the sensation of clipping hurts to him, he yelps at every clip and whines the whole time of the process. I cut his nail every less than a month and it takes an hour(?) each time. On the other hand, my the other dog(2yr), it takes less than a minute. LOL.

Thank you for your video and I will try to have more patience with him and follow your method.

Those pedipaws work really well, because they don;t apply a lot of pressure and are very quiet. The drawback over a dremel is it can take forever if you have a rottie or a dog with really hard nails and the batteries run out after one use...

btw, where did you get the dremel you used in the video?

thanks =)

I got it at Rite Aid, its for humans, it takes longer but it doesnt make as loud a noise and doesnt make the nail get hot. It was like a 15$ pedicure set. Im using the pointy round bit, not the flat ones.

Thanks for this video...I'm definitely going to try this method with my pooch!

buy a clicker at a pet store or just use your tongue

@MonteyCarlo92081 i live in qatar it 55 degrees Celsius in summer and 22 in winter bring her here her tail will be so far from her ass it might fall off

Thanks a lot for your videos!

I have a 10 weeks old samoyed and althought he is a bit stubborn I´ve managed to teach him how to sit, lay down and give the paw using the clicker and your methods.

Now I want to teach him how to stay and to obey me when I call him. Because everytime he sees a person outside he run towards them wacking his tail and some times just sits down and watch. And no matter how much we call him he just stays there.

I´ll shall use this method for grooming.

Thanks again!

how i wish that you can come to my house and handle my dog who is extremely afraid of nail trimming. she bites my hand every time i trim her nails and now she started to attack me whenever i touch her paw.this is giving me a headache :( sad.

[MissinGackt]

I need to try this on Wolf(my papillon) when I get back home..

Can't even touch his paws...TvT

Thank you for this wonderful method, I will try it.

good video, even though my dogs dont allow me to clip their nails...they go bannanas....they do well with their sitter and groomer....go figure.. :)

You seem to use a lot of treats, my pup isn't interested in her dry food as treats, and normal dog treats like dried liver gives her the runs if she eats more than the tiniest amount, because she's under 16 weeks, is there any treats you recommend for young puppies?
