Thanks for the replies everyone. I am trying to get Max comfortable with me handling his paws. I'll give him a few treats to occupy him, hold his paws lightly for a second or two, and praise him when he doesn't make a fuss. I think the idea of cutting his nails after his bath is a good one. It's funny, he's good as gold when getting a bath (better than any other dog I've owned), but when it comes time for nail trimming or combing and brushing...well that's a different story. |
