Reasons why dogs don't like nail clipping and countermeasures

Reasons why dogs don't like nail clipping:

1. Don't understand what the master is doing. If the dog has never cut its nails, the owner suddenly grabs the dog's paw and presses it, and takes out the nail clippers, which will make the dog more frightened, because the dog does not know what will happen, and the dog resists instinctively.

2. The owner is too rough when cutting nails. During the process of clipping the nails, the owner did not put the dog in a comfortable position. Even when the dog is disobedient, the owner pulls the dog forcefully and yells at the dog, which will cause the dog to resist.

3. There was an unpleasant memory of clipping nails. If the owner or others have cut the dog's nails to bleed, or hit it during the process of cutting its nails, the dog will always remember it in his heart, and he will have a certain psychological shadow, so naturally he will not like to cut his nails up.

Countermeasures for dogs who don’t like nail clipping:

1. First of all, you must calm the dog's emotions. You can play with the dog for a while, or feed it some snacks, or hold it and stroke it. In short, it will make it less nervous.

2. The owner can grab the dog's paw from time to time, and verbally comfort the dog, telling the dog that it will not hurt it.

3. After the dog adapts to the owner's claws, you can take out the nail clippers and let the dog smell them, and then put them next to the dog's paws to touch the dog's nails, so that the dog knows that the nail clippers are not so scary. Of course, if it fails once, the owner needs to train a few more times, taking out the nail clippers for training for a while every day.

4. When formally cutting the nails, the owner can feed the dog some snacks to divert its attention, and then cut the nails as quickly as possible. If the dog is very scared, the owner needs to pause to calm the dog’s emotions. Clipping the dog's nails is mandatory.

5. After the nails are cut, the owner needs to praise the dog, feed it snacks, or play with it for a while, so that the dog understands that cutting the nails obediently can get the owner's approval.
