Week 18. Handling exercises that make the rest of the dog's life easier.

Nails

One nail a day with treats. The sound of the clipper, then the touch, then the cut.

Brushing

Three minutes daily on a towel. Coat type decides the brush.

Happy vet visits

Stop by the clinic for a treat and a weigh-in with no exam. The waiting room stops being scary.
