Expert Answer

Prepare a dog nail clipper, a pack of tissue, and styptic powder. Before trimming, distract the puppy with food or toys to avoid nervousness.

Hold the paw gently, find the nail without pressing too hard, and carefully cut the clear part, avoiding the quick. If you cut and bleed, press with tissue then apply styptic powder.

After trimming, reward a small snack so the puppy cooperates better next time.
