Things You'll Need
- pet nail clippers
Instructions
Place the dog either on your lap or next to you on the ground. Make sure both you and your dog are in a comfortable position before moving on.
Guide the dog onto his or her side. This makes accessing the dog's paws easier.
Take one of the paws in your hand. Hold the paw so that your index and middle fingers are on the center part of the inside (the "padded" portion) of the paw.
Press down gently on the paw. This extends the nails fully, preventing you from accidentally cutting too far down a nail.
Beginning clipping each nail one at a time.
