Nail day, Aayla has never been a fan of getting her feet handled. I've worked a lot with handling her feet since she was a puppy so she is good about it, but still shows signs of stress. So getting her to relax more while dremeling her nails has been a challenge. I found out recently that she relaxes more if she is laying down than standing so we have worked on getting her to stay on her back while I do her nails. It's coming along very well for the handling portion. She doesn't move and gets into the position for me on her own. Still got some stress responses, looking away, tight lips, and lip licking. Yet she has improved so much from trying to pull her feet away and whole body tenseness. Now her body is at least mostly relaxed.
