 Getting to sit still?
I would like to be able to trim my girls nails soon, they are getting very long and I want to do it because I don't want to have to keep paying to have it done. But I want to do it every time so she can get more and more used to it.
But so far even though I work with her paws a little each day petting and rubbing them, when it comes to the nail clippers she pulls her paw away from me. She doesn't seem entirely scared and shying away from the clippers themselves, just more like she doesn't like me holding her paws.
How can I get her to hold still so I can clip her nails? If I grab hold of her leg and don't let her move it she yelps and I don't want to hurt her. Does anyone have any suggestions? How do they do it at the groomers on dogs who pull their legs away? |
