I never got a chance to reply to this thread again!
The pics were great! Helped me a ton!
I have been slowly trimming them away. I can only get about 3 nails done per 'session' before he's had enough. But he's slowly been learning to allow me to grab his paw for longer periods of time.
I started with string cheese.... I held his paw for a second, gave a treat, etc. Then I grabbed it for 3 seconds, then treat. He actually started offering his paw to me. Then I placed the cheese on top of the nail clippers so he had to associate the clippers with food... it's definitely been helping!! He still HATES it but he's getting better (with me!) I am sure he will be a pain in the butt for the groomer again when she cuts them. |
