You can't reason them through a bath, or a nail trim, or the twenty minutes before you leave the house. All you can really do is give them something else to focus on — something absorbing enough that the worry has to wait its turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat's what a lick mat is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpread something soft across the surface — peanut butter, plain yogurt, wet food, a little pumpkin — and your dog has to work at it. Slowly, methodically, nose down. It's repetitive and it's rewarding, and for a lot of dogs that combination is enough to bring them down a level. Not because anything is happening to them, but because they're busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere it earns its keep\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBath time and nail trims.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stick it to the tub wall or a tile at nose height and the grooming happens somewhere in the background.

Press it firmly to a clean, smooth surface — bathtub, tile, glass, hardwood, the side of the fridge — and it stays there while an enthusiastic dog works it over.
