Lia is an absolute sweetheart of a dog. She is so incredibly gentle and other than a few intense fears she came with, such as the vacuum, clipping her nails and checking her ears, she lets me do pretty much anything to/for her.
I thought I had been making slow headway with her allowing me to clip her nails but her double dews seem to be her deal breaker. I'm assuming she may have caught them at some point because she is absolutely terrified to let me clip those nails. I have been trying to handle her double dews gently when cuddling though the minute I get close with the clippers, she has a melt down and even tries to nip me - something she never does any other time.
Lia is not very treat motivated though cheese has worked for the other nails. She is probably part Pyr and part Tibetan Mastiff and her double dews are higher, more floppy and different from those on full pyrs. I don't want them to be removed but the nails must be kept short. Any advice or suggestions???
