My Dog Hates Nail Trims
One-time purchase. No physical shipping. Applicable taxes calculated at checkout.
Your puppy pulls away when you touch a paw or bring out the clippers? Find a smaller starting point and build comfortable handling without surprise trims.
What you will learn
- Identify whether approach, touch, holding, tools, or sounds are the difficult part.
- Introduce brief voluntary handling with clear pauses when your dog withdraws.
- Practise paw contact and tool introductions as separate skills.
- Make a professional nail-maintenance plan while preparation continues.
- Record progress and prepare care handovers with five printable worksheets.
Who this is for
Owners preparing puppies and young dogs for gentle handling and nail care, especially when ordinary paw-touch practice has stalled.
What is included
One 20-page PDF in English, including 5 printable worksheets, worked examples and references. Read on a PDF-compatible device or print for personal use. Worksheets are print-and-write or PDF-annotatable, not fillable forms.
Before you begin
Handling preparation, not a complete nail-cutting manual or a restraint method for dogs who may bite. Pain, damaged nails, or overdue maintenance need veterinary care; home trimming requires a professional demonstration on the individual dog.
Educational guidance using reward-based methods. Progress varies; no fixed result or completion time is promised.
