đ¨Trimming a dogâs nails is one of the hardest parts of the grooming process.đ¨
Some dogs are okay and just a little freaked out, and some thrash around and scream like youâre trying to kill them (!!).
How do you know if you should keep going or call it and stop? How do you know if theyâre just panicked or if theyâre actually going to bite⌠hard? đą
Over the last 20+ years, Iâve figured out some things about trimming nails successfully. â*humble brag* So I found lunatic pups who donât like having their nails trimmed and cozy bears who donât mind as much, and shot a thrilling brand-spanking-new video:
đ Quick Tips to Nailing It: JRG Nail Trimming Techniques đ
âŚ.which Iâm offering for only $22
In this 40 minute tutorial, I show energy techniques on different dogs that are displaying different behaviors. There’s a dog that “has never let anyone clip his nails before,” an untrusting puppy who puts his teeth on me, a shmoopy bear who just has a little bit of anxiety and more.
With this video, you’ll know how to trim nails the JRG way – with a calm, neutral energy, PLUS a firm (or gentle) touch depending on the behavior. And on that note? I’ll translate the dog’s behavioral cues as I go, so you can uplevel your dog-reading skills. This understanding will make your time with a nervous little beast less stressful.
I'm in, get me that video.You’ll watch me work with untrusting, unsure, fearful shmoops (some who have never been to my shop before) as I talk you through:
â¨The tools I use
â¨Positioning and handling the dog
â¨What to do when they’re fighting and stressing
â¨How to read their cues
â¨What to do if a dog keeps escalating and won’t calm down
