Great Dane Talos is learning how to enjoy having his feet handled. This is terrific preparation for nail trimming. There's no need to restrain, muzzle, or sedate a dog to trim nails. Teaching your dog to like nail trimming is ridiculously easy.

This is the first step in getting your dog comfortable with nail trims. Schooner, the Great Dane, shows us how to gradually get your dog accustomed to having his feet handled in an easy, no pressure way. After your dog is comfortable with having his paws handled, then (and only then) will we move on to actually trimming nails.
