32. Cutting Or Trimming Their Nails

Trimming a dog’s nails is a necessary evil. It doesn’t meant that they have to like it. Cutting nails can be scary for dogs, who don’t really have a concept of trimming nails the way humans do. All they know is that you’re getting near their paws with a sharp object that makes loud snipping sounds near their vulnerable paws!
Fortunately, dogs can be acclimated to nail trimming, and trained to sit still, even if they hate it. Don’t worry, your dog will forgive you once they can run around more comfortably without their nails curling into the pads of the feet.

A lot of these are just common sense (which I know is sadly lacking in some folks) but it all depends on the dog. Besides that, being the incredibly intuitive and sensitive creatures that they are, they will adapt to how you express affection. Our dogs will lick our faces off if we let them, and we kiss their little heads in return.

Dogs love car rides, and of course you shouldn’t give them spoiled food!!! Most of these are common sense, but we know dogs have more common sense than most people!!!
