- Step 4: Trim the Nails
Hold your dog’s paw gently but firmly. Using the clippers, make a quick, decisive cut at a 45-degree angle, trimming just the tip of the nail. If you’re using a grinder, gently grind down the nail, taking care to avoid the quick. Remember to praise and reward your dog with treats after trimming each nail to create a positive association.
- Step 5: Handle Accidents Calmly
If you accidentally cut the quick and your dog’s nail starts to bleed, don’t panic. Apply styptic powder to the nail to stop the bleeding. Keep your dog calm and reassured, and wait a few minutes before resuming the trimming.
