    I've been a dog person for most of my life and have learned to manage most aspects of being a pet parent - except when nail trimming time rolls around. I've either paid to have it done (expensive), flailed around with it, not really being sure what to do (stressful for me, painful at times for my pups), or just avoided dealing with it altogether (horrendous!) My veterinarian offered Dr. Busby's course with a promo code and I figured - why not? I'm terrible at this, MAYBE I'll get better. Off I went! I've just finished the course and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I've learned more from Dr. Julie in this course than everything else I've ever researched on my own over the years. My entire attitude about nail trimming has changed, I have the knowledge to do the job confidently, and while I won't be perfect to start, we know the importance of practice. Thanks Dr. Buzby, this has been a game changer!

We're always looking for services that will benefit our clients; offering fear free nail trims, especially during COVID-19, is a wonderful addition to our existing amenities. After taking Dr. Buzby's course I feel much more confident with my nail trimming skills. Dr. Buzby gave clear, concise instructions and lots of helpful hints.

I highly recommend this course for pet guardians or anyone who cares for pets professionally; the course pays for itself immediately and many times over!

    I have two pups, one with black nails that was getting dangerously long and ruining his little feet. Why? Because I was scared of cutting the quick, so I rarely cut his nails. This course taught me the correct way to do this and with confidence! I can now say my little terriers nails are getting shorter every (safe) cut and we are all happier. Thanks Dr. Buzby!

    Thank you! I am so grateful for Dr. Buzby creating a Nail Trimming Course. I always tried my best with cutting my dogs' nails, but each time, I felt like I was missing something. I watched Youtube videos and it still didn't give me the confidence I needed to do it well and make my dog comfortable. Now, I am a better momma to my canine kids!

    I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life. And I’ve tried to trim their nails myself, with varying degrees of success. With some of my calmer dogs, it’s gone fine. But with other dogs, I’ve had to take them to my vet regularly to get it done. This course has given me the knowledge and confidence to do this myself with all of my dogs going forward! I quickly saw the mistakes I was making before and have learned great new skills to employ from now on. Absolutely a great investment for caring for my dogs!
