The nail trim nobody looks forward to
One person holding, one person clipping, and a dog who won't stop wriggling. If you've ever cut into the quick, you know how one bad trim turns into a dog who hides the moment the clippers come out.
Black nails make it harder still, because you can't see where the quick starts. So the groomer appointment slips, the nails get longer, and the clicking on the kitchen floor gets louder. Left too long, nails push the toes up and change how your dog stands.
The only way to the treat is through the sandpaper
Dogs already want to dig at a smell they can't reach. This puts the sandpaper in the way.
-
Treat in
Drop a treat into the drawer under the filing surface.
-
Slide it shut
They can smell it, but they can't reach it.
-
They dig
Every scratch to get at it files a little off the nail.
Front paws first, back paws covered
Front nails are the ones that scratch floors, snag furniture and get the most resistance at trim time, so that's where the board does its work. Back nails tend to stay shorter on their own from walks.
For the odd touch-up, the Complete set includes a small handheld pad.
How it compares
Every option files nails. Only one lets your dog decide.
From the PawShield pack
Real dogs, real homes, and nail trims that don't end in a standoff.
A nail trim your dog says yes to
Low-stress vets avoid wrestling a dog through a nail trim, because one bad experience makes the next one harder. The board turns that around.
Your dog decides when to scratch, nobody holds a paw, and the session is over when they walk away. Nail care stops being something that happens to them.
Most dogs get it within a few short sessions
The guide in the box walks you through it. Here's the short version.
-
Step 1
Let them investigate
Board flat on the floor, treat in the drawer. Reward any sniff or paw at the surface.
-
Step 2
Reward the scratch
Once they're pawing, only reward a proper drag across the sandpaper. Keep sessions to a few minutes.
-
Step 3
Raise the angle
Prop the board on a book or a low step. Gravity pulls the paw down the surface, so every scratch files more.
Some dogs are digging within a session or two. Others take a couple of weeks. Short, frequent sessions with a treat they really love beat long ones every time.
Try it for 60 days
If it isn't right for your dog, send it back within 60 days for a full refund.
