Gotta say.... Sounds like something from a vet who's never broken up a dog fight
I'm picturing trying to hold the foot of a fighting dog still enough to stick a finger inbetween its toes. It's not going well
It's hard enough to the collar sometimes when it's on.
I had read that you are supposed to pick up the dog’s tail and put a lighter up its behind

There was a pack of wild dogs not far from my place led by something that looked like a Ridgeback. You don't want it climbing over you. Some pigs hunters have lost dogs and guess what they become. No one should have a hunting dog without a homing collar, or whatever you call them. I'm now the local dogger for my little valley.

You mean your dog doesn't put on the kettle for you when you get home?
That's strange.
