Quick answers to help you get started.
Your dog scratches the textured surface with their front paws, and it gently files the nails down a little with every stroke. Teach it like a trick: reward any paw touch with a treat, then reward scratching. In a few short sessions most dogs treat it as a game instead of a struggle.
A few short sessions a week is a great start, and many owners turn it into a quick daily trick before a treat. Every dog's nails grow at their own pace, so let the nails guide you: if you hear clicking on hard floors, it's time for another session.
The board has no blades. It files nails a little at a time, so there's far less risk of cutting into the quick than with clippers. It suits most dogs that can comfortably place a paw on it and scratch. If your dog has a nail or paw injury, check with your vet before starting.
For many dogs it takes care of everyday front-nail upkeep. Back nails and dewclaws don't get filed when your dog scratches, so you may still need to trim those now and then. Our Labor-Saving Paw Nail Trimmer is a gentle, low-stress way to do it.
