Does your dog hate nail trims?

This is part one of our two-part series talking about trimming nails for dogs who hate having them done. This series does not talk about counter conditioning for nail trims. There’s plenty of videos out there on that topic (and chances are you’ve already tried that anyways).

Stay tuned for part two where we show you ways to trim nails at home when it’s just you and the dog - and the dog isn’t cooperating.

Meet adoptable Oreo!

Oreo is here with us from Harmony Dog Rescue for one of our free shelter dog board and trains.

The good:
- Friendly with humans
- Good with dogs after proper introductions
- Highly food motivated
- Loves toys
- Enjoys training
- Not destructive in or out of the crate
- Quiet with minimal alert barking
- Walks nicely on leash (but still working on it in high distraction areas)
- Knows all basic obedience commands (sit, down, wait, come, crate, okay, yes/no)
- Rides nicely in the car
- Good for all grooming and handling, manageable for nails
- Ecollar conditioned and is working on off leash training
- No environmental or sound sensitivities

The not-so-good:
He is BIG and very strong. Although he has no ill intentions, if he is able to “muscle his way”
through something, he will. He does have (manageable) prey drive and would likely not be suited for a home with small animals. He sometimes guards high value resources from other dogs, but has been doing much better with training and management. Continued training would likely solve this issue entirely, but we only have him for 2 weeks. He is mouthy and can grab clothes when extremely overexcited. He will stop and settle down with a verbal correction. Again, an ongoing issue that would likely be resolved entirely with continued training.

Oreo is a great dog who will make someone very happy. To make the transition into his new home as easy as possible, we’re offering two free private lessons or two free sessions of group classes to the adopters!

Reach out to Harmony Dog Rescue to schedule a meet and greet with this handsome boy.

IN HOME NAIL TRIMS

Our next day for nail trims in the Kittanning (and surrounding areas) will be Monday, November 17th.

Cost is $15 per dog or $10 per dog when you have 3 or more at your house. These can be your dogs, a friends dogs, or a family members dogs.

On average, we’re done with most dogs in under 10 minutes. It often takes us more time to drive to your dogs house than it does to cut their nails! When we can save, so do you. That’s why more dogs at one home means a discount for you!

We work with fearful, anxious, and aggressive dogs for nail trims. If we can’t get your dogs nails clipped, you don’t pay! We also do other rabbit, cat, and other small animal nails.

Message Burk’s Dog Training on Facebook or give us a call to schedule your pets nail trim!

Nobody enjoys potty training - especially not when it’s cold out.

If you’ve got a puppy on your radar this winter and you’re already dreading those 2am potty breaks out into the snow, then give us a call to chat about our puppy board and train options.

While your puppy is with us, they’ll be in a home working one-on-one with their trainer. Most owners request skills like:

- Potty training
- Crate training
- Riding in the car
- No jumping
- Early socialization
- Sit
- Down
- Stay
- Come
- Loose leash walking

…but our programs are 100% customizable.

Every dog and every home is unique. We train only the skills that you and your dog are going to need. That way you can get back to enjoying all of life’s adventures together.

Let us help get your puppy started off on the right “paw” from day one.
