Apr 26, 2010 - Splash looks like she's having a fabulous time, and it's lovely to see a dog (Kiko) actually ~queuing up~ to have her nails done! I love the way you make everything so much fun for the dogs.

Jul 8, 2010 - Your videos are so helpful for my upcoming puppy, thank you! (He's just laying on his back being hand fed and getting a pedicure, looks like the image of lazy happy doesn't he?)

Jul 21, 2010 - Do i have to have a "clicker" or cant i just clap my hands or some other clicking noise?

Sep 9, 2010 - I slacked on working on this with my puppy when she was little, but now I've been working on it again. Took about 3 sessions for me to be able to touch her feet. and then she was still a little iffy. got one foot trimmed today, but I had to start from scratch with the other one,dogs do not generalize well at all! LOL with a high value treat and a high rate of reinforcement (with some breaks in between) I was able to trim the other foot about 45 min later!! don't give up! take breaks, be patient

Sep 9, 2010 - keep trying, you might not get very far even in the first few sessions, but by the end your dog will be more than happy to let your trim their nails! much better than the forceful method of holding them down and going to town!btw, clicker training does not make your dog fat, you subtract their treat portion from their meals, I've clicker trained my pup from day one, and she is not fat! yet every other dog I know that is NOT clicker trained is fat! LOL

Dec 31, 2010 - Just tried to trim my pups nails for the first time tonight; I wish I'd watched this first. Very helpful! And you seem like you really love your pups and that makes me happy :) I will have to try this when I give another attempt at clipping my puppies nails, since we only managed to get half of the front ones tonight.

Jan 12, 2011 - You seem to use a lot of treats, my pup isn't interested in her dry food as treats, and normal dog treats like dried liver gives her the runs if she eats more than the tiniest amount, because she's under 16 weeks, is there any treats you recommend for young puppies?

Mar 20, 2011 - I need to try this on Wolf(my papillon) when I get back home..Can't even touch his paws...TvTThank you for this wonderful method, I will try it.

Jul 10, 2011 - Haha, that's how clipping nails looks at my house already! Great tutorial though!

Raskendrill Says:

Aug 1, 2011 - Thanks a lot for your videos! I have a 10 weeks old samoyed and althought he is a bit stubborn I´ve managed to teach him how to sit, lay down and give the paw using the clicker and your methods.Now I want to teach him how to stay and to obey me when I call him. Because everytime he sees a person outside he run towards them wacking his tail and some times just sits down and watch. And no matter how much we call him he just stays there.I´ll shall use this method for grooming. Thanks again!

Feb 22, 2012 - The pedipaws are pretty much a piece of cheap crap. The Dremel Minimite is much better.

captmicha Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - It sounds like you're rushing ahead to the actual trimming before doing enough ground work first to get her comfortable with the trimming. You also might want to just work on her getting comfortable with having her paws held first, without involving a trimmer.
