Our reactive rescue is 6 and has never let us cut his nails and has damaged more than a few pieces of our clothing with his long nails. He had piece of felt stuck to a chip in his nail and after a few days it would not come off. This board has been the best investment we have ever made!! He learned in just 10 minutes how to scratch at it and the chip on his nail was filed off letting the cloth loose. Full disclosure high yield treats roasted chicken and beef were used. He learned quickly . My daughters enjoy filing his nails!! We will be doing this routinely now every few weeks. Txs for saving us from a trip to the vet!

I have a big giant dog and she was becoming a bit aggressive when it came to nail trimmings. I got this to try something new and now manicure time is her favorite. She already knew "shake" so it took almost nothing to teach her how to use it and she is a very food-oriented girly so with some treat rewards she caught on very quickly, and it filed her nails well! the only thing I would say is it can be hard to reach the nails on the sides, so I ended up having to trim a nail on each foot but the whole activity desensitized her to having her nails touched so even that wasn't a bit issue.

Overpriced for what you get. Very few dogs are going to scratch on their own. Training guide provided, but not sure I want to teach my dog to dig! If you’re successful getting them to scratch that is only half the battle. There is no way a dog will ever do the suggested scratch position for the back paws. This is a small business and I wanted to like it but it just falls flat.

I love this product for my adopted dog. We got her at 2 years and she has always hated getting her nails done, and puts on a whole drama when it comes to her nails getting trimmed. It usually requires multiple people and a muzzle and so many treats. This board has helped her get excited for nails. At first she was scared because she knew it was for her nails, but she quickly realized that all she had to do was touch it with her paw to get a treat and all was good. She kept going because she was enjoying it and felt safe doing it. With no pressure or any added stress it was great to find something that finally worked. I’ve tried about every trick in the book but without knowing her full history I want to keep it as positive as possible when it comes to stressful events like getting her nails done. 10/10 recommend this product

My dog hates getting her nails trimmed (and I hate trimming them because they’re black so it’s hard to see the quick). This board seemed like a great idea.First of all, the board is good quality, although it technically is just a piece of wood with sand paper attached to it. But the product is objectively good quality.Training my dog to use it wasn’t hard, which I think is just luck. However, it only really files her two longest ”toes”, because they are longer and stick out more. Her “pinky” and “thumb” don’t get enough exposure to the board to actually get filed, so they stay long and end up curling back toward her paw. Then I have to trim those anyway and we’re right back where we started. Also, the suggested training for getting them to file their back claws involves letting them partially climb onto your couch or some kind of furniture. My dog is a German shepherd mix, so that just straight up isn’t happening.All in all, good idea, but maybe half baked.
