Colette, thanks for telling all lf us how to stop the "pyr paw". With Odin I have tried the "pinch" the paw, he touches my hand with his nose and then "looks" at me to let me know that it hurts him, but doesn't move it. My only recourse has to tell him "down" and with him on the floor he can't "paw". Until he turns upside down of course!! Sharon
