Two Best Dogs! Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 That's fine, but you still need to desensitize your dog to having her feet handled! What if she gets a thorn or stone embedded in the pad or rips a nail? You need to be able to remove a foreign body, administer first aid, or cut a hanging nail off! I can handle her feet fine ;) Especially in the case of a thorn (had to do that recently, she stood politely and waited) and inspection type things. I make sure to poke and prod random bits of her all the time. Alas she gets the excited wiggles when it comes to nail clipping time and has black nails, so I really don't want to risk cutting the quick again. This new trick doesn't mean we'll cut back on desensitisation, just that she'll have appropriate length nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
