I'm not totally sure, but maybe it's the angle of the back claws compared to the front...and that they use their back paw/claws to "push" their bodies forward.

I don't know that all dogs need it each week. One of the reasons we do it is bc, for whatever reason, Wylie's quick can grow toward the tip very fast. So, we do it often bc if we waiting too long, we'd end up cutting his quick even if we just cut a little.

Once a month might be great for your baby! A groomer could probably answer what the "standard" might be.
