xavierandrea Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I am so proud of Patti. I while back I posted how Patti would not let us clip her nails. Everyone gave great advice!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN. Well this past weekend I decided to try once again to clip her nails. I had the can of treats next to me ready to give. I began massaging her back, then legs, then elbows and kept going until I reached her paw. Once I touched her paw I gave her a treat and said " Good girl. " Well much to my surprize she let me massage her paw. She did get restless a couple of times but the treats and rawhides helped out alot. I just kept giving her treats and clipped her nails. It took a very long time probally 45 minutes but I didn't mind. Her nails are not as short as I wanted them but I thought a little at a time until she is used to it. Right? I just wanted to share this with everyone. Thanks for listening. :multi: HURRAY FOR PATTI. I am going to try this every week until I can clip them with ease. Quote
