Learning to Trim: Trusted Resources

At Unguis Canis, we are not the authority on nail trimming techniques.
We do understand its importance — deeply. But we also recognize that teaching proper technique belongs to those with more experience and education in that work.

Our role is to bring forward the why — to help more people see the vital role nail length plays in canine movement and well-being. When it comes to how, we lean on the expertise of trusted professionals.

We believe in directing people to sources and teachers grounded in evidence, experience, and respect for the dog. Below are selected resources that align with the values of Unguis Canis — presence, patience, and mindful handling.
