I really can't understand what has come over my puppy but from the day I got her (seven weeks old) until now (five months) she has been really bad with touching paws... it hasn't got worse and it hasn't got better!
I've tried everything, negetive and positive but nothing works, I guessed this was the right forum since it kinda has something to do with grooming feet and clipping nails. for the notice she is an Australian Kelpie cross Sheltie and she lived the first seven weeks of her life in a stable/barn/kennel in whales.
The symptoms of the "crazyness" is screaming, biting sorta throwing a fit and going absolutely crazy! she yells, barks growls and flips and does anything physically possible to get me to stop touching her little paws!

thanks for your time!

What did you try that was negative? I would never use any kind of neg. training at all. Has the vet looked at the paws? Was he groomed, walked on hot sidewalks, allergies?

You should probably post this over on the behavior forum. There are many there that can give you some input that may help.

I am a groomer and hope that you can get this problem under control for your baby's sake. We deal with dogs like this ALL THE TIME, and it's very stressful for them (and us too).
