Mine view the nail clipper as some sort of torture device lol. Have her associate grooming tools, in this case the dreaded nail clipper, w/her fav treat or whatever else that motivates her. Some dogs respond very well to praise. Put the nail clipper next to her & give her a treat. Let the nail clipper touch her paw & give her a treat only when she doesn't freak out, & so on. It will take some time, but she'll learn to associate it positively.
This has worked for my girls, but the boys still act like I'm killing them, they huff & puff & give me the wild eyes. kekee |
