Instructions
Approach your dog when it is relaxed and its paws are clean and dry.
Massage your dog's legs by starting at the top and moving slowly down the dog's paw to prepare your dog for its feet to be touched.
Check in between the paw pads for pieces of outdoor debris.
Pull the hair from the bottom of the dog's paw up through the dog's toes so that the hair from underneath the dog's paw sticks up between each toe.
Hold the hair sticking up between the toes in between you fingers. With your other hand, trim the hair.
Look at the bottom of the dog's paw to make sure you have not missed any hair.
Softly praise your dog and offer a treat before working on the next paw.
