My little girl is just crying out for help. She went to the groomers yesterday and they had to muzzle her to cut her nails. She was OK without the muzzle for all the other spa treatments but they also put a red sticker in her file that reads " I'm a little nipper " I'm so sad and I have to help her. I'm getting a clicker first thing Saturday morning. I'm reading the articles now and I'll let you know how we/I do. Thanks again. |
I Pm you again as I know you know what that is.
Well I would get your self a new groomer!!!
My girl has been harder to handle as she was hurt but her groomer worked slow and at my girl's pace. We will fix this.
If a dog is not comfortable with it groomer, move.
Nails can be clickered. Get out the treat get the nail clippers and use the clippers as the clicker. No where near her paws at first and then closer and closer. I can now do my girls nails it slow but I can do it.
Also Tellington Touch on the paws is good too.
I just have to say I am impressed... I to felt sad for my girl and her fears and well anyone that stops to see a differnt way and knows that something has to change before the dog breaks is well

.
Go slow add love and stir. You can help this wee one feel safe.
