Our dog trims his nails on the couch
So we have had our pup for about a year , he is coming up on being two years old . He is supposedly an Australian shepherd/German shepherd/Labrador mix per the previous owner . For about the past 6 months or so he randomly will hop up on the couch and start trimming his toe nails by chewing them !
As I am typing this he is doing his nails 😊. He methodically does front paws first then the rears . He generally will do all four before stopping . I have owned a LOT of dogs in my life and I never had one that self grooms like this one . Is he bored ? Is he hungry ? Or just a snappy dresser 😁. It is really funny to watch . We were at the vet this morning for yearly checkup and we all had a laugh when they said his nails look good ! Anyone else have an active self groomer ? |

My chocolate Lab now licks her private parts! I trained her well... didn't have to show her more than a few times

Because they can

Mine chews his nails too. He hated me cutting them when he was a puppy. Made us both happier when he started doing them himself.

Teach him to clean up his own poops too. Now, you’ve got something!

One of my yellow Labs from years back went through a phase of eating poop.... I did NOT teach her before y'all even ask
. Old wives tale is they're lacking nutrition ... in reality they are just being dawgs ... most never do.
