Does your dog dislike nail trims like Juno?
Checkout this nail file I made so we can go longer between trims ā¬ļø
Supplies:
Scrap piece of timber
80 grit sandpaper (go a higher grit for dogs with softer paw pads)
2 x paper binder clips
First off I started with a treat under the board and used the "paw" command (some people use shake)
The key is to reward, reward, reward!
I quickly introduced the new command "scratch", starting off with a reward for touching the board, but strongly praising when he dragged along the board.
We practiced this every night, reward getting stronger for a good scratch and phasing off rewards for a simple "paw" action.
Let us know how this goes for you!
Checkout our Tiktok for Juno's enthusiastic scratching! He's a bit funny...
