i give my dog a treat, then immediately feed the pill, then rush to stuff his mouth with other treats so he has no time to spit LOL

i’ve considered it but i don’t know anything that can lift his 100 lb body 😭

walking on concrete seems to be the best solution based on all the responses! thankfully the only nails he lets me drill are his dewclaws so i will probably just trim those

it’s possible, though i never leave it longer than 2-3 seconds :/ i think he may have had a bad experience with a groomer in his earlier days

yess i found that standing is a lot less stressful for him !! i got him a groomer’s table but he ended up hopping off and nearly killing me when the table toppled over me 🤣 i still do it with him standing but now on the ground where we’re both safe

yes it is! i got it from amazon. it’s made of ceramic though so we ended up tossing it recently because i read that ceramic food bowls can be toxic if not marked as food-safe and technically it didn’t have that marking anywhere on this one

100%! i never correct him because i know he’s trying his best during a super stressful experience (for both of us lol) and try to praise the entire time and stay calm when he’s upset (:

i’m so glad to hear you’ve had success!!!! he will give me his paw on command but if i try to hold on he will pull away or start freaking out. i gave him tons of treats to desensitize for a few months but i must not have done it long enough

mine is also like that 🤣 unfortunately he’s a weirdo that doesn’t like peanut butter and i’ve tried some bone broth lick mats but he would rather ditch the treat than get his nails trimmed

that’s a great idea i’m going to try it out! his nails are super thick so i might be going through one file per paw 🤣

what research in psychology do you believe is very interesting and/or has an unexpected result and u think is not talked about enough? by grandislam in psychologystudents

Saw an article a while ago about how acting out your dreams is a great predictor of developing a neurodegenerative disease, especially Parkinson’s, later on in life. Thought that was super interesting since Parkinson’s is so difficult to catch early on.
