A clever dog owner has shared a genius hack for clipping her stressed pug’s nails.
Maja Rybczak wraps cling film around her forehead before smearing herself in dog-friendly peanut butter.
Then the 17-year-old kneels in front of Hexa and lets her lick away while she clips her claws.

“Hexa really doesn’t like having her nails trimmed,” Maja told What’s The Jam.
“She loves doggy peanut butter, so I smeared it on my head where it’s easy for her to reach, and she actually let me trim her nails.
“I couldn’t believe it.”
Maja of Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, says the three-year-old used to behave “like a madwoman” until she came up with the trick to distract her.
She added: “It’s always so hard to cut her nails. She runs around like a madwoman to get away.
“She’s literally my little baby.
“Hexa is usually so bubbly and playful, but she doesn’t like having her paws touched at all.
“I love that she’s so content letting me trim her nails rather than being stressed out.
“It used to take me ages to cut her nails, but now it only takes five minutes to do it.”
Maja shared a clip of the hack on social media, where it racked up more than three million views.
Kirana said: “Can you believe she’s probably the only one who thought of this?
“I feel like this is at the same level as Tesla.”
Another person said: “I’m actually crying.
“Laughing tears are streaming down my face when I tell you I cannot breathe.
“I mean my face is red, there are tears down my face and I’m cackling.”
Swetika said: “Please. This is genius.”
A fourth viewer said: “Low key this is smart.
“You’re going to go places in life if you keep thinking of ideas like this.”
Lechelle added: “I need to know how far in the trenches you had to have been to find out that this would work.”
