VD: Charly, a yellow Labrador, laying on a black couch and facing the handler. She is offering her paw to the handler who then holds a set of nail clippers near her paw and makes a click sound before Charly gets the food that was dropped in front of her as a reward. End VD.

Charly really hates getting her nails trimmed, doesn't like to have her feet touched, doesn't like the dremmel sound, hates the sound the clippers make when they cut so

I've been working on clipper desensitization by clipping a piece of her kibble by her paw

It makes the same noise but this way it's a direct reward and I can even place the clippers directly on top of her nails and still get the same replicated sound without needing to actually clip her nails

Charly is three today!

A very nice trip home!

Happy birthday to this goofy, cuddly, perfect boy!

You've been on so many adventures, been in a wedding ceremony, welcomed so many new friends into the family, and did it all with a smile on your face
