Why won't my dog let me touch his paws?

I love his little paws and I want to squeeze them, but he won't let me!

Some dogs don’t like their paws played with. When I got my dog I desensitized him to having his ears, tail, mouth and paws messed with because basic grooming but also if there’s ever a time we’re out and say he cuts his paw pad I need to be able to manoeuvre the paw to bandage it properly.


Try associating paw touches with a positive, train your dog to shake reward with a treat and you can inspect the paws and play with them. And if your dog doesn’t want to have his paws messed with accept it

Probably over you squeezing them or maybe his paws are sore
