Handling Your Puppy
Goal To prepare your puppy to be handled, restrained, and groomed throughout its life. Tools you will need Cotton balls or plain cleansing pads Nail trimmers and short, wooden match sticks Scissors Electric clippers Brushes and combs Strips of an old t-shirt or sheet (or real gauze) Yummy treats Overview One of the saddest things to see is a dog that is absolutely terrified of something as simple as a nail trim. I have seen dogs lose control of bodily functions, scream in terror, struggle violently, and bite and scratch in their frantic attempts to avoid having their nails trimmed.
