In this video watch Steph Marhle-Mishra the owner of Good Karma Dog Training, groom her two personal dogs, Cricket, a 14 month-old Australian Shepherd puppy, and her nearly four-year old Golden Labrador (Goldador) Bollywood. This video demonstration includes brushing, ear cleaning, and nail filing. The bush, and battery operated nail grinder were purchased on Amazon. They are from FURminator. The nail grinder is GREAT because it has a guard on the file, and so it prevents mishaps like accidentally catching the dog's paw on the grinder.

Grooming your dogs can be simple, calm, and rewarding, for both the you and your dogs. Training the "place" command can help the dog to stay in one spot while you care for your dog. Steph highly recommends providing the dog with exercise, walking (treadmill or outside), playing fetch or tug, before any grooming such as baths, nail trimming, nail filing, or brushing. Grooming a relaxed dog makes the process easier, and more relaxing for everyone involved.
Dog training is a process. It is not always pretty. It is absolutely NOT perfect. Dog training is not about perfection. It is about calm persistence. Calm repetition is the key to success. If your dog is scared of the nail grinder, take the time to condition the dog to the sound and smell of the grinder. Run the grinder as the dog is near the product, feed the dog when the dog presents calm behavior around the grinder. It is unsafe to force the dog to accept nail grinding if they are truly scared of the product. You run the risk of being bitten in the face, or hands. Take the time to condition the grooming experience. If you plan on using treats to reward calm behavior, be sure to reduce your dog's calorie intake for their following meal. Overweight, and/or obese dogs are much more anxious, and irritable when it comes to many aspects of daily life, including training, and grooming.
