That pupper needs some training
That pupper needs proper restraining, and not by its human.
Even the best trained dogs don't respond well to being jabbed/poked/prodded (and this is not how you trim toenails, you get them down on a table or on your lap).
Source: frequently assisted a vet friend when techs were unavailable, it's a very rare animal that will tolerate being jabbed, having blood drawn, even just being shaved for an IV. (Actually I've never seen it, unless they were mortally ill).
It's unfamiliar to them, so they react by protecting themselves.
(Edit: this dog, like 98% of them, are poorly socialized/trained in general, which I find very frustrating. People are lazy, complacent shits when it comes to learning about dogs before they get one. And most can't be bothered to do the work required).
Yeah man. Dogs are work.
I love dogs, but won’t get my own because I know it’s like having a whole other job that you can’t slack off at.
