Fearless Nail Trims 101

Fearless Nail Trims 101

We’ve trimmed lots of nails here at Wag Central, and we know this can be a challenging task for some pups and their humans, so we’re sharing 3 ways to help your dog NOT fear nail trimming!

1. Let your dog sniff the clipper or grinder — Allowing them to get familiar with the object can often help calm their fears.
2. Touch the tool to their paw — Offer a treat and/or lots of praise for a job well done.
3. Allow them to get accustomed to the sound — New noises can be scary, but your pup will quickly learn that it’s not a big deal.
