Gather puppy nail clippers or a grinder, styptic powder, and treats
Choose a calm, well-lit area
Hold the puppy gently and keep the paw steady
Press the paw pad lightly to extend each nail
Identify the quick and avoid cutting into it
Trim only the tip of each nail
Clip small amounts at a time
Reward the puppy after each paw
Stop if the puppy becomes too stressed
Use styptic powder if you cut the quick
Repeat regularly to keep nails short
