You also need to grab their paws very gently but firmly, don't let go. Otherwise they're going to keep pulling their paw away. If it gets uncontrollably too much, give them a break & go back to it. |
I was having the same problem. I put Gunner in your suggested puppy burrito and kept at it. I did need the husband to distract him on the last paw, I was more worn out than he was. I did try the treats, but he doesn't want them when I am touching his feet.
