Why Nail Trimming Is a Struggle

Most dogs aren't born comfortable with grooming tools. Common reasons dogs fear nail trims include:

  • Anxiety from restraint or handling

  • Fear of the clipper sound or vibration

  • Lack of early desensitization

  • Previous negative grooming experiences

We help fix this with patience, positive reinforcement, and the right conditioning techniques.

What You'll Learn in Class

  • How to gently desensitize your dog to nail trimming tools

  • Step-by-step handling for safe at-home grooming

  • Using rotary tools (Dremel-style) safely and effectively

  • Applying positive reinforcement to build calm associations

  • Managing fear, body language, and building confidence
