Hi and welcome to YT! When Codie was a baby, he HATED having his feet touched (so you can imagine nail trimming was a nightmare)! What I did was every day after work, I'd take him for a long walk (to tire him out). Then I would sit with him on the couch and just touch his feet and play with them. He was usually too tuckered out to put up much of a fight and eventually after a short period of time he got over it. Now we can touch his feet and have NO problems cutting his nails. The groomer always says he is one of the most pleasant and CALM dogs that she grooms. |
