Trying to cut a dog’s nails can be one of the most difficult jobs for many dog owners. When I asked who was interested in the topic of consent in dog training for nail trimming on my last podcast episode, there were many comments from people wanting help. So, we’re going through the steps to help everyone clip their dog’s toenails so that all dogs can enjoy a pedicure.

In the episode you'll hear:

• The 5 categories of feelings dogs can have about nail trimming, from terrified through to love.
• About the importance of trimmed nails for our dog’s health and longevity.
• What my friend Dr. Leslie Woodcock shared about toenails and posture, and wellbeing for geriatric dogs.
• How I used to cut nails and what my dog Twister experienced.
• Why I developed Your Dog’s Pedicure Please Program.
• The three stages of cutting your dog’s nails: CER, Game On, and Trimming.
• About creating a positive conditioned emotional response for clipping nails.
• How to condition positive emotions to the sight and sound of nail clippers, Dremel or another pet nail grinder.
• Why you want a “game on” position and “game off” indicator so your dog shows you consent.
• How to keep your dog’s nails short while you are working on them saying “yes!” to a pedicure.

Phil Knight’s words to me in 2004 when I told him that I was torn between pursuing what I believed to be my higher purpose or staying at Nike. My extraordinaire 

ENCOURAGERS: Peter Ruppe “PR”/Gina Angelique Warren/Lesly Mundy/H.White

- “The first 60-90 days at a new job... always listen more & speak less.” - Words of advice from Peter Ruppe when I came to Nike. His advice proved to be incredibly insightful.

“Trenton + Spike Lee + "H" White = Katalyst” - Summer of 1995 in Trenton, New Jersey, at Nike’s “Believe To Achieve” event where my encounter with Howard “H” White sparked the next unexpected chapter in my KARAYZEE journey.

The words that I heard from Avery Johnson in 1994, he was a standout player on the San Antonio Spurs. It’s my belief that doing tasks that might be considered menial and not glamorous (aka THE LONELY WORK) are necessary for success. You gotta TRUST & BELIEVE that hard work NEVER goes unrewarded!

My infatuation with basketball “bounced” me into realizing an audacious childhood fantasy/dream of being in the NBA.  In 1995 that crazy goal manifested in a way that I could have never scripted! Simple Truth: HATERS ARE MY MOTIVATORS!

– The single word that Coach Mac spoke before tossing me the keys to the training room at The Haverford School - my first job as an athletic trainer. That moment catalyzes a series of fortunate + serendipitous events.

– The summer of ‘86 in San Angelo, TX  proved to be the genesis of my journey of learning that if I want something bad enough, I have to be willing to pay my dues.
