I bet the initial shyness is instinctual. Worried about causing food aggression

Such a happy little tank

Wholesome except I think those chews are made from bull penises
fistermatic5000
If you're referring to the corkscrew, you may be thinking of the tip of a pigs dick.
codnuggets
Oh, you're good! I'm impressed! That's in the shape of a pig penis. But my understanding is these are made bull penises ( and other tissue)

Every up means extra belly rubs for that sweet potato. You have your work cut out for ya

Where the ears?
AIComments
Monster of an owner chopped them off. Checked the instagram and verified.
cre8majic
sometimes this breed gets ears removed-tradition was these dogs were bred for pit-fighting (bears, bulls, ,dogs), ears were vulnerable
MadamSlagathor
Pretty damn cruel
cre8majic
agreed! Unfort., some people feel that this "tradition" should be continued, even if the pups aren't used for that purpose...
AslanTheGod
That's a bull penis treat, also, known as bully or pizzle sticks. Now you know.
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
I'm gonna have to get one for my bulldog.

My dog loves 'em and they're natural.

And it's someone's job to twist them into that spiral shape

Thank goodness it's dry, otherwise we'd have drizzle on the pizzle...fo shizzle.

Flashbacks of the time my friend thought he was funny for chewing on a dog treat. 11 years later and it's funnier now than it was then. Nice

You know how I know your a good dog parent @OP? When your dogs freaks out, it’s nails don’t click like a pair of canasta.
kovu0150127001
So it takes us like a month to cut his nails so they stay long
kovu0150127001
I can't trim my pits nails. Hit bits when you do he is a loving dog just bites when you do that bec he is a pit the vets don't do them
WilliamHuskerAdama
Barely has ears left, but at least his toenails are on point
jakeewPrincess
Has everyone else missed your point? When a dog is walked sufficiently, the nails wear down & don't need to be cut e.g. this dog is walked

My dog was abused/neglected before I got her. Her quicks grew out so long that even when I do trim her nails, they're still fairly long.
kittykat
Same here. Also one of my big girls nails permanently grows sideways.
ninjabudgie
The next time your dog goes under for a dental, ask about having her nails cut back and cauterized ? they will already be on pain meds 1/?
ninjabudgie
and antibiotics! Having long nails can be damaging to your dog's gait and foot health, which long term can negatively affect their joints
ninjabudgie
Short nails are very easy to maintain once they are cut back! It is a quick and easy procedure that is awesome for rescue situations
XplodingUnicornGlitter
I'll definitely look into it, thanks!
thebeardismightierthanthesword
Interesting, my boy is also a rescue/stray and even when freshly clipped his nails still click. Can you expand on the reasons why please?
XplodingUnicornGlitter
If their nails went unattended for years, their quicks just keep growing, nothing is stopping them. That's why regular clipping is necessary
thebeardismightierthanthesword
I had absolutely no idea. Is it reverse-able?
mufasa1028
Yes, the more you cut them and keep on it, the shorter the quick will get/stay
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Someone commented on my original comment that you can ask vets to cut them back and cauterize the quicks. I imagine it's fairly common
ImUglyIRL
My dog has something weird with her paws. She literally never let's ANYONE touch her feet. We had to put her to sleep the last time we trim
ImUglyIRL
Trimmed her nails. I'm her human and she doesn't even let me do it..
YaBoyJohnorrhea
Same with my dog. Conditioned him as a puppy to allow us and the bigger and stronger he got the more difficult it became until we just 1/

Couldn't do it anymore. 105lbs is hard to control when it doesn't want to be. Vet tried to mildly sedate him and said they couldn't trim 2/
YaBoyJohnorrhea
Them either. Said he'd need to be all the way under and I don't feel good about doing that a lot just to trim his nails. Hes a super 3/
nopenopeyno
Same here! We use a dremel to cut her nails. Just keep cutting them back bit by bit and over time they will recede. The dremel let's you get

Closer to the quick
shedooooooooo
What’s a dreamel? My dog literally panics when I try to trim his nails. I need to find a solution before they get too long.
MistyFrazier
A dremel is a grinder tool, basically a motorized nail file in these situations (has many different uses)
djmaskell
Also worth noting that, if your dog doesn't deal with regular clippers, a Dremel or other motorized device will be much scarier to the dog!
shedooooooooo
Word. Idk what to even do. Even while he’s calm, the only time he panics is when his nails are touched by clippers. :-/
djmaskell
Get a couple friends to help restrain dog and hold leg. Touch clippers to nail, give tons of praise and treats. Release dog. Repeat >>
djmaskell
How did you get your dog used to Dremel? Mine are less than enthusiastic to put it mildly. They're fair/okay with traditional nail clippers.
nopenopeyno
Peanutbutter kong usually works wonders. Keeps there mind off what is happening. I've also had a dog where only the groomer could do it with
nopenopeyno
A muzzle and her being tied down. My current companion is very good with it though
EllipsThis
Start with short intervals and lots of treats. They have to get to the point where they realize it feels funny, but doesn't hurt.
djmaskell
So like 5 seconds once a day for a few weeks? Touch it to their nails once, then give em shitloads of treats and be done for the day?
ninjyy
Out the treats. Both our guys do not enjoy it but thet tolerate it now. Usually do one dog one night the other the next lol
ninjyy
We have our boys lay in their beds. We do one claw for only a few seconds each as it can get warm. My husband grinds the nails and I dish
EllipsThis
Seconded on the only a few seconds per claw. The friction heats the claw, which can transfer to the quick.
