วีดีโอ

I ordered a bd thru your link and we're doing well on day 2. Her nails are starting to ruin my furniture and of course it's bad for her. So I really welcome this.

Ok. That's great. I can do that. But my problem is when someone is on the porch. I can't open the door. He has a ferocious bark, and it really is a greeting, but nobody else gets that. He's a pit bull. Hard headed!! I usually leave him there to bark and go out the garage to find out whoever's on my porch. Help.!!!

What do I do for the back paws?

If you have a bigger board like 3 ft long and cover it with, you could prop it up on the edge of the bed so it's a steep incline, can I have him climb up it and he will try to jump on the bed but only get my treat when he climbs up the board. Have it so steep he has to struggle to get up the board and scratch, as long as he's notold

I’m having a hard time getting my dog to use her left paw

This is a genius way to introduce the game

Ok, that’s great for the front paws, but what about the back

This might not work for everyone, but this is what I found worked well. My family's dog hated her nails being cut she would start wailing and crying, she made it sound like you were cutting her paws off. So we avoided cutting her nails and even started filling them (which is super slow). We went to a dog training session with her (the guy doing the training session is a very well-known breeder and trainer, he breeds GSPs and working Malinois) his advice was to just cut her nails normally and ignore all the fuss and even if she carries on and on finish cutting her nails. He said dogs will carry on making a big fuss about things like this because they know you will give in and stop, so don't stop when your dog makes a big fuss, and if they try to pull their paw away don't let go until you finish cutting the nails. You aren't hurting them, and you need to be able to cut their nails and touch their paws whether they like it or not. At first, it was tough and we would only cut one paw at a time, but once we started doing it regularly she realized that getting her nails cut doesn't hurt and making a big fuss isn't going to do anything because we weren't backing down like before. Fast forward, she still doesn't like having her nails cut, but she doesn't make a big fuss wailing, she doesn't try and pull her paws away, and it only takes about 2 minutes to do all her nails rather than 30+ minutes filling them. So to sum it up, methods like those in the video above might work but they are kind of dumb, just take the time to train your dog to let you touch their paws and cut their nails, it can be a pain at first and you might feel bad because your dog is putting on a big show wailing and whimpering but they are perfectly fine and simply putting on a show (like a toddler having a tantrum) you shouldn't give in because your dog will remember "oh, last time my human tried to cut my nails and I made a big fuss they stopped, I'll do that if they try to cut my nails again". Plus you are in big trouble if your dog won't let you touch their paws and then they hurt themselves!

Many requests here for info on back claws but I see no answer…. Is there an answer please?

I'm gonna try this. Twice I cut the quick and caused bleeding. Luckily I had blood clotting gel for dogs, but very stressful and I really don't want to cut his nails. If I take him to the vet he'll have to be sedated because he's very reactive.

How do you handle the dog nosing in on the treat giving or petting?

Oh this is great.

The music doesn’t help mate im gonna be honest

Good photography and great sound quality. One happy dog. One happy day.

One of my moms dogs won’t let me pet other dogs. He’s not even my dog. I call him the wedge because he drives himself between me and any other dog I pet. He’ll even corral my hands with his paws to pull them away from other dogs. He doesn’t care when my mom pets other animals. I don’t think it’s an alpha thing neither because I can make him wilt in a second just by raising my voice, and he hits the dirt the second I grab him by the scruff. Does he just really like me or something? My mom says I’m the first person that’s ever been able to approach him in his kennel the first time without him acting ultra aggressive. She says he even went off on her the first couple of days after she got him.

What do you do for the back feet? The rag is a great idea

What about taking it off?

back feet?

Great video! Really like how the neck hole opens up wide. What brand is the harness?

Ty! I babysit dogs and they are often jealous of my personal pets. This super helpful!

Lol what if my dog is way dumber than yours and spends 5 minutes looking for the treat everytime i throw it right in front of her and totally forgets what we were doing

Chihuahua's don't understand this lol

What a great idea ❤ 🐕 thank you

What about the back feet?

Back paws?

Everything is good for my dog until I have to buckle her harness. Whatever treat is on the ground, she will turn very rapidly to bite me. It has become more and more violent, and we had to leave her leash on the whole time to avoid any biting. Any suggestion on how to go through with that would be amazing, as I am afraid that at some point the harness will cause skin irritations.

This was a great video. Thank you!

Good video! What video editing platform do you use?

Thank you so much for this! I'm having the puppy blues and our jealous dog is making me feel like I'm a failure. Please God, let this work for me.

Not for $100 bucks.

The back paws are really challenging to teach them 😢

I put him in a sit stay if he moves I close the door..I wait until he looks at me to give him permission to go outside

What about the back nails/paws??

We were struggling with the jump from scratching at the cloth to scratching the board so used a little sock to cover the treat (so that she inevitably scratched the board a bit) and that really helped! This is super helpful, thank you! 😊

My Yorkie would not let anyone trim his front nails. They were getting way too long. I could tell he was getting very uncomfortable walking and it hurt to play. Well, this video saved us from sedating him at the vets office. He picked it up in one session. He is a pro and loves to scratch on the board. His nails no longer touch the floor when he is standing, in less than a week. What an easy fix this has been for us. Thank you so much for the knowledge!!

Ziva's been using a nail board for years. I can't get her to do her back paws so I'm waiting to see your next video. I LOVED your presentation. I've already passed the link on to others. Great job Maureen!!!! PS - Jax looks great.

It helped when I played in slo mo Thank you :)

I got this from a Facebook post.. Don't take the fella anywhere get you a large TJ Maxx bag and measure between his legs and cut holes in that bag just large enough for his legs to go through and then you hoist him up to a railing or something at somebody's house that has a second story and you just gently lift him up to where he can't interfere or bite you let him relax for a minute give him treats while he's there in that position and continue to give him like baked chicken while you're doing it and have somebody or maybe even two people cut the nails while you're giving him big chicken while he's in his Hamic

The problem i have with my dog is she’s to excited and won’t sit still

We are trying. My trainer at petsmart showed a diff way that was not working. So i looked here. This one is working so far. Only on chair week 1

My pup tends to hold onto the ball. One day I started doing this when I happened to have two toys with me. Immediately he was playing fetch like a pro. Cool to see that this was an actual technique

DOES THIS HAVE A DRAIN?

Worked extremely well! Dog corrected behavior accordingly. Every trainers says to do this, but no one has framed it the way you did, now i know what to do! Thank you!

I need this so badly my girl pulls her front paws but has tolerated her back paws getting trimmed with time It's so bad she will shake and go to the toilet on herself when I try to do her front paws so this could be my saving grace thanks so much

This is ingenious! Thank you for sharing!

Your voice is very easy to listen to, I appreciate that greatly. Very good instructional video that is eaßy to follow.

I noticed though for some of the times they're just using the one paw to scratch at the board. At a certain point you stop giving them treats if they keep using the same paw or what's the best way to do it so that they use both paws?

How often to do this? How long in time, and how many days a week/month? Why hide the pad, couldn't that become a habit for the dog to truly do it himself?

Doesn't this scratch their foot pads?
