How Can I Clip My Dogs Nails When He Doesnt Like His Feet Touched?
Have patience and start working on getting your dog used to having his feet handled. This must be done gradually, so dont rush it. Try gently touching one foot while your dog is asleep. If your dog wakes up be very casual about it. Just remove your hand and act as if you didnt even notice that you were touching his paw. Anytime your dog resists… dont react. Just ignore the fact that you were even holding his paw and try again another time. Repeat this process and over time your dog will adjust to having his feet handled and you should even be able to start touching individual toes without an adverse reaction. Whenever your dog allows you to touch his feet always remember to praise your dog and give him a dog treat. Your dog will begin to associate having his feet handled with a pleasant experience. Bring out the nail clippers when your dog is very comfortable with you handling his feet and you are confident that you have gained your dogs trust.
