training / nails

Started clicker training Grey to accept his nails clipping. Today we worked for about 10 mins on him offering me a paw, allowing me to hold it, then touching his nails and applying pressure. He pulled his paw back a few times and mouthed, so I had probably moved ahead too fast, so I backed up and went back a stage. In the end he was lying on his side relaxed as I handled his nails with my fingers. Next step will be to touch his nails with an object.

It's a bit difficult to juggle the clicker, holding his paw and then touching his nails. I might try mounting the clicker onto the floor somehow so I can operate it with my foot.
