remembered some more new puppy advice
Play with their paws, pull their ears and tail, basically touch every part of them so they do not worry when they need to get their claws trimmed or small humans get a bit grabby with them.
A friend has a rescue staffy who absolutely freaks out when he has his claws trimmed (to the extent the vets have suggested sedation for a nail clip) and we tried hard to avoid this issue.
Our little pup has been (nicely) "tormented" since he arrived and as such is absolutely fine with grooming and ear cleaning. He doesn't have much interaction with children as we avoid them as much is humanly possible.
