Norillo® - ClawPlay - The Nail File Your Dog Scratches On, No Holding Still

Every time you hold the paw still, the next time gets harder.

Your dog hides when the clippers come out. It takes two of you, you manage two nails before the paw is pulled away, and the clicking on the floor carries on. The problem isn't the nails. It's that the dog is being held still.

✕ The clippers

One big cut at a time. On black nails you can't see where the quick is, and one mistake bleeds.

✕ Holding still

The dog loses control and learns that paws mean danger. Next time starts with more resistance.

✕ The grinder

Noise, vibration and a long time close to the paw. And someone still has to hold on.

Our ClawPlay takes the grip out of the equation: the dog scratches on its own to reach the treat in the tray, and the abrasive surface shortens the front nails a little at a time.

Nail care your dog agrees to willingly

The treat tray turns nail care into a hunt instead of a fight. The dog scratches at the abrasive surface to reach the reward, shortening its front nails at its own pace.

• No holding still, no clipping
• The dog sets the pace and can walk away
• Wears a little at a time instead of one big cut
• No guessing where the quick is on black nails
• Honest about what it does: the front nails

Why the dog wants to do the job itself

A treat tray that starts the behaviour

The reward sits in the tray under the surface. The dog has to scratch to reach it, so nail care becomes something it chooses to do.

An abrasive surface that shortens a little at a time

The surface wears away a small amount of nail with every pass. You never make one big decision about where to cut.

You never have to hold the paw

You sit beside your dog instead of gripping it. It can walk away whenever it likes, and that's exactly why it comes back next time.

Short sessions that fit into everyday life

One to three minutes at a time is enough. Little and often gives more even nails than one long session that ends in a struggle.

It looks after the front nails, and we'll say so plainly

The front paws make contact with the surface when the dog scratches. The rear nails and dewclaws don't and need looking after separately. We'd rather tell you before you buy than after.

• Wears: The front nails
• Rear nails & dewclaws: Looked after separately
• Suits: Small to large dogs
• Requires: A food-motivated dog
• Session length: 1-3 minutes
• Use: Supervised, put away between sessions

It isn't the board that does the work. It's letting the dog decide.

The fear of nail care is built by the grip on the paw, not by the nails. Take away the grip and what the dog actually reacts to disappears.

The reward shifts the initiative

The treat sits behind the abrasive surface, so scratching becomes the dog's own decision. A behaviour the dog chooses itself doesn't trigger the same defensive reaction as a grip on the paw.

Wearing instead of cutting

Every pass removes a small amount of nail. So you never have to judge where the quick is on a black nail, and you can track the length between sessions instead of taking a chance.

Repetition builds the trust

When nail care stops predicting being held, the dog stops predicting danger. That's why session two usually goes more easily than session one, and why the result holds instead of getting worse.

Wood, an abrasive surface and a tray that stands up to eager paws

Our ClawPlay versus what you do today

It was two of us and a blanket every time. Now he stands there and scratches on his own to reach the treat. The first time, I laughed out loud.

Most dogs get it within a few days

Put the treat in plain sight first

Start with the reward on top of the surface so the dog dares to come close. No commands, no pressure.

Reward the first paw

The moment a paw touches the surface: praise and reward. The first few days you're training the scratching, not the nails.

Short sessions, then put it away

One to three minutes at a time, then put the board away. That keeps motivation up and stops the dog wearing down more than it should.

What you're wondering before you order

Does it do all the nails? No. It's the front paws that make contact with the surface, so it's the front nails that wear. Rear nails and dewclaws you'll need to look after separately. We'd rather say so here than when the parcel arrives.

How long before my dog gets it? It varies. Some dogs scratch on the very first session, others need a few days before the penny drops. Food-motivated dogs learn fastest. It's the training that decides, not the board.

Can my dog overuse it? Yes, if given unlimited access. Some dogs find it such fun they'd happily keep going for a long time. Keep sessions short, check nails and paw pads afterwards and put the board away between times.

What if my dog isn't interested? It gets harder. Try dinner in the tray when the dog is hungry, or reward with a toy and praise when the paw touches the surface. If your dog has no interest in rewards at all, this isn't the right tool, and our 365-day guarantee applies.

Isn't this just a DIY board? The idea is simple, the execution is what matters. Our ClawPlay has a treat tray that makes the dog scratch rather than sniff, and a wooden build that stays put when a big dog leans in. A home-made board that slides off teaches the dog it can't be trusted.

My dog is very fearful of nail care - will this fix it? If your dog trembles, growls or freezes completely at nail care, you should seek help from a vet or a qualified behaviourist. Our ClawPlay can be part of the plan, because it removes the holding, but it doesn't replace professional help.

• Dispatched within 1-2 working days

Try it at home for 365 days

We're confident your dog will love it, just like our many customers. Fill the tray, sit down beside your dog and see what happens when nail care stops being something done to them.

If it doesn't work out for you, simply send it back and get all your money back. No awkward process, no hidden conditions. If anything's wrong, we'll send a new one.

The only thing you risk is another month of holding down a dog that doesn't want it.
