Panda, my oldest Boston Terrier is a little princess. She's calm, cool, sweet, loving and she loves to look cute and get attention. Jersey, her sister, is a crazy tom-boy bad-ass. So I just like to paint Panda's nails and she loves the pampering. I've painted her nails for dog training graduation, parties, for boredom, etc. It's cute and fun to do. Plus, if you can do it yourself, you don't need to pay the grooming salon to do it for you.
You will need:
Your dog
Comfort level with paws being touched, or see 1st step
Nail polish
Nail cutters, and or file
Clear nail polish

You have to make sure that your dog is okay with you touching his or her paws. If your dog isn't comfortable with this, you really need to break the uncomfortable-ness for many other reasons than just painting nails. It's about trust and how easily your dog can be handled by yourself and others. It's important for their behavior.
The way you can do this is to play with their paws, often and at random times. I play with my dogs paws while they are laying on me. It's almost like a mini massage and it gets them used to the feelings. This will really help break your dog into the routine of their paws being touched. You should do this, safely, with any other areas that they are uncomfortable with. You don't want them to lack trust in you. :)

What was that about "social abilities?
Consider you post by itself: You accused him of being absolutely isolated from society and unable to deal with people in person. Why?
There were five non-excessive responses possible:
> Ignore him
> Flag the comment.
> Respond calmly with evidence to prove him wrong. For instance, since nail varnish is largely acetone-based, you could have linked him to this article.
> Engage him in conversation by PM
> Ask somebody else to talk to him for you.
Balancing the (badly-worded) concern expressed in one post against the open insults of the other, I decided that Mstyle183 was more in need of protection or support than you were.
I hope you understand now?
Seeing that you've made the time to help us out and bring balance to my instructable, I just want to thank you for this case, and for future help that you will provide. I've come across a few of these commentors that seem to have their own specific spin on reality and I'm not sure how to handle them. I will use this guide to help me in the future. :) And I look forward to anymore elder advice from the wisekiteman.
My comments were purely about the way you two were talking to each other.
And I apologize, your comments didn't come across as concern, so the intention was missed. I'll be safe, also, because I won't be drinking any nail polish. Maybe next time you could comment with some flowers or a cute greeting card. Those get the point across more fluently.
secondly, dogs get makeovers on a daily basis through grooming. and they also offer nails being clipped and painted at most of the grooming salons. this is not far-fetched and it's not something "wrong" to do.
i'll make sure not to come to your instructables and try and plead why you deserve no recognition, because that doesn't fit the "nice" category for comment policies.
LOL
