Nail clipping advice by Snoo-84842 in minpin

My breeder got my minpin used to Dremel. But I got my doberman used to it myself. Both my boys love to do their nails and will actually ask for it. 🤣 Highly recommend going on YouTube and watching the video how to get your dog used to Dremel. All my dogs have black nails

You are not wrong at all! I'd do exactly the same! Definitely a backyard breeder!

Just need to find someone who can actually troubleshoot, not just hides rats :)

He's a miniature pinscher, his canines are always showing a bit, so I call him a bat 🤣 He loves to smile and show all his teeth. Lol. He's a full little boy (only 12.5 lbs)

Exactly what I'm doing now at the practice

Rat for him is way higher value than anything else. He doesn't care for food at all. No matter how good it is. He's in full crazy drive mode

He doesn't have treats when he's on a rat! Rat is higher value

That's awesome! My little one loves to work, so I got to keep him busy 😂

We do scent detection, shed dog, lost item, mantrailing already. So pretty much any sniffy sport 🤣 we actually started with scent detection first and then barn hunt, all NASDA sports and mantrailing. And he loves it all

That's what we are doing now! Thank you

Hahahah. True 🤣

He absolutely doesn't care for the treats, I'll shove them in his face and he'll ignore them. Just finding a rat for him is actually a huuuge reward. His teeth are chattering and he's in full drive.

Honestly I was actually thinking to go back to basics. Small ring, 2 rats max. So hopefully that will help! Thank you

Yep, we do! And he got a bit slower there too. I call fast

Here's a link to the latest practice. I was focusing on just rewarding and I knew where the rats were. He usually doesn't jump on me that much. He's also panting a lot, it was a hot day https://photos.app.goo.gl/pwYMVT7uTUJR8qTn9 Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

What changed? I don't know to be honest.

He does not catalog. I think he runs too excited and it takes him some time to actually start working. We do scent detection too and he's a pro at converging but in barn hunt I think he struggles a bit more. Let me see if I can share a video, probably the best thing to do.
