Melinda is correct

malinda is a lyin animal murderin MENTAL CASE like you an spot.

you need to work on letting you touch his feet.

THAT AIN'T THE PROBLEM. The dog is OBJECTING to bein FORCED.

When I first go Buddy 4 years ago if you tried to touch his feet you
would get a nasty growl from him and a snap. The only way
I could get his nails cut was to take him to the vets office. Where
for some reason he LOVES the assistant and will let her do anything
she wants to him.

Oh, THAT'S on accHOWENTA the vet assistant DON'T JERK
CHOKE SHOCK an lock IT in a box and IGNORE ITS CRIES.

THERE AIN'T NO NEED FOR ME TO RE-POST spot's POSTED
CASE HISTORY, is there, steve b? YOU KNOW spot is a lyin
animal murderin MENTAL CASE, don't you?

I can now actually cut his nails myself. "

THAT SO?

He still doesn't like it

Naaaah?

and puts up a bit of a fuss

Naaaaah??

but I don't worry about getting bit now.

INDEED?

It's a slow process and may take quite a time

I am thinking this is the approach.

INDEED?:

"He still doesn't like it and puts up a bit of a fuss"

He just loves warm baths, and is about the only time he will really hold
still.

Well then clip his nails while STANDIN in the tub.
IF your dog TRUSTS you enough he won't mind...

my neighbors female pitbull has long claws and she jumps on you and
scratches with them. She is a block
head of a dog, and she doesn't listen to ****- and i ain't gonna hit her
to try to see if that works, so I end up just keeping my distance from
that dog.

It's a shame, personally, i think pitbulls as a breed are a mistake which
should either be bred out of existence or seriously bred to improve them
and make them useful
for something besides a half-ass companion dog which cannot always be
trusted to behave..

SNIP HOWE

I apologize. This should have definitely been top
posted, and I recommend this as the poster child
in favor of top posting.


I don't have much to say, just wanted to repost
hundreds of lines, then come in with a short retort.


Give the bitch a knee in the chest, trying with all
your might to have her land on the back of that
massive skull.

You won't hurt her.

Ah, killed two birds with one stone. In favor
of knee to the chest thing, and in favor of
killfiling lunatics who overpost.

I've broken many a dog from jumping up on me. The owner asks me, "How
come he doesn't jump on you and he jumps on everyone else?"

I dont' tell him that when the dog jumped, I did the appropriate thing
and taught the dog myself, several with just one jump.


I just say, "I guess he doesn't like me."



(SNIP LIES, IDIOCY, INSANITY and ABUSE)

(RESUME LIES, IDIOCY, INSANITY and ABUSE)


I break a dog by timing a knee to the chest or a shin to
the chest at the moment he jumps up on me. Usually,
it just startles the dog, and causes him to bounce back
a bit.

At the same time, I say a sharp "NO".


I will admit that at times, I have thrown a dog right over
on a 3/4 flip with them landing on their backs. These
are the dogs that it usually only takes once to break.


I immediately bend at the knees and squat down and
praise and pet the dog, teaching them that I will bend
down to pet them, and they don't have to jump up to
get petted.


After that, when I see them, I greet them that
way, and they will stay down until you pet them.


Most dogs go away after that, the doggie equivalent
of scratch and sniff greeting.


Sorry I was ambiguous about it, but I know some do
not agree with this technique. To those people, all I
can say is that Skippy ain't about to paw my $100
slacks, thank you very much.


I have a pound rescue Rott/Lab that is the biggest
pussycat in the world.

She must have been a guard dog or guide dog in
another life because she is totally trained, and won't
even eat unless given permission.

I believe she could and would do some damage if danger
actually occurred. We've lessened her rigidity, but she
still sticks to her training at times.


She has never once jumped up on me. Now, if I could
only break her of the doggy handshake... (nose to crotch
and then the swift lifting of the nose).


My corgi is as hardheaded as any corgi,
but he doesn't jump up either.

Eeesh. How.... 1950s. Dianne


Bring me up to date. What's the current way?

Negotiate?


Take the dog to self esteem classes?


I'm interested in hearing new things.

Yep, really lean into it.


Even knock her over, if you can, but make sure to
make her think twice about rushing past you again -
- which is exactly what you want her to do.


Don't bother with scolding her, she'll get the message.


If it happens again, just REPEAT the knee action.


When she steps on your toes, just pick up your foot
abruptly and nudge her with your knee. Again, no
scolding is necessary here, so you don't have to
worry about her "over-reacting."


I don't think this is necessarily a lack of respect
for you, just a lack of training. That is, she just
needs *more* of it."

I have a 10 month old miniature poodle. I have a dremel and do use
it, but i'm afraid to use it too long. I'd love to do it and not clip
at all, but i don't want it to get too hot. He will pull back (not
jerk) at the last minute when i'm trying to clip/tip off the nails.
When i dremel.. you can tell that it tickles his feet! He does get
praises and will let me handle his feet. We are still working on
brushing. He is my first poodle not to enjoy brushing. If his hair is
short it isn't that bad. My other poodle will push him out of the way
to be brushed ;o)

Hi, Tracey -

Do you have pictures of your guys?

One trick to keep the nail from getting too hot is to do it in
short bursts (zzzt zzzt zzzt ) with pauses in between, rather
than one long burst (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzt). Another is not to finish
each nail before moving on to the next. Instead, start all the
nails on the paw, then take off a little more on each one, then,
finish each one, so no nail gets a long exposure without time to
cool off.

How to prevent tickling - that I don't know! (I can't stand to
use electric toothbrushes on myself because of the mouth tickle.)
