When it comes to cutting the dog's nails, it's definitely a technical job. There are many shoveling officials who take the dog to the pet store to take a bath and cut the dog's nails casually. But it's definitely not appropriate to cut your dog's nails at too long intervals, so how do we cut our dog's nails at home? Today we are going to share with you the experience of cutting your dog's nails.
Why cut your baby's toenails?
Too long
nails are not only easy to scratch the owner, furniture, in fact, the dog itself is also very harmful!
1. If the pet's nails are too long, it is easy to scratch the owner or the furniture or clothes at home when the owner interacts;
2. Nails need to be exposed in some specific beauty styles, and too long nails will affect the beauty of the style;
3. Too long nails can cause inconvenience for pets to walk, and even lead to nail deformation and other problems.
Baby, why don't you like to cut your nails?
Most dogs are cooperative, or don't resist, when they first start clipping their nails as puppies. I still remember the first time I took out nail clippers, Xiaobai and Nana were still young at that time, I had never seen it before and didn't know what it was. I picked up my paws and cut them. The second time I took out nail clippers, Xiaobai and Nana ran away.
In fact, every child had different reactions to nail clipping. Some dogs shrank their toes, some kicked and kicked. They may even bite nail clippers or attack beauticians or owners.
This may be caused by the improper operation of the owner and the beautician. Unpleasant (discomfort caused by improper operation, scolding or scolding due to lack of cooperation) or even accompanied by pain (such as broken blood line) can only make the dog more and more afraid of cutting nails.
If the baby really does not like to cut nails, you can also choose a nail sharpener, relatively less fear, but also to do desensitization training ha ~ ~
How to Do Nail Cutting Desensitization Training for Babies
Repeatedly stressed that can not be anxious ~ ~ don't beat, don't scold, to encourage, praise
1. Every time I take out nail clippers to play with, put them in my hand, play back and forth, Xiaobai and Nana may be a little afraid at first, do not know what I want to do, and later found that I did not want to give them false nails.
2. Then put the nail clippers close to the children, do not hide, give a reward, give a dog food
3. Touch their paws with nail clippers, if the performance is good, then give the dog food, this may last for a period of time, build nail clippers = delicious, and so on to see the nail clippers very excited.
4. When you are excited to see the nail clippers and feel delicious, you gently hold one of her paws, cut off a nail, and immediately give a physical reward + verbal reward. Today is the end of the task, and the next day you will cut the second one, not a foot, but a toe, gradually increasing by
5. As time goes on, you may be able to cut off one foot for the first time, and then slowly increase it. If the baby expresses fear, fear, hiding, or even a low roar, you must stop, do not force, return to the stage of nail clippers touching = food reward, and re-establish the link
. This time period varies from child to child. Some may be a month, some may be a long time ~
Precautions
I said a few things to pay attention to, ah, which I encountered
when I desensitized them again. 1. Don't be greedy. One of the things I said is the number of nails cut. You can't be greedy. The child will be annoyed. It's back to the
beginning. 2. One is that you can't cut too much. Don't cut the blood line. Xiaobai's claws are easy to cut. Because it is white and transparent, but Nana's is more difficult, it is black, can only be cut
a little bit. 3. If the child is unwilling, do not chase to continue, this your previous efforts are in vain
. Come on, give the child desensitization training can not be urgent ~
