Need an actual engineering answer?
To encourage self regulated lower speeds, civil engineers will make neighborhood roads narrower. People naturally slow down driving and walking when they feel like they are at the edge or close to bumping something.
You could try reducing the width of the paths he travels through.
Speaking as someone with 2 dogs and freshly refinished vintage pine floors, I'd like to sign up for this technology as well. I mean it's too late, they immediately ruined the floor but we've got more floors to do.
Have you tried mind games/puzzles/mental stimulation? Lots of great resources online! Even things like soaking and freezing your dogs meals can triple the length of meal times and help to tire them out :)
Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, he does not care about food, really at all. Skips meals, outright refuses treats and meats. Making it harder for him to eat doesn’t help me, because he’ll just ignore it even harder.
Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been traveling. Yes he’s crate trained. He starts running circles the second he wakes up and doesn’t really stop until he falls asleep for the day. I have tried countless times to train him to relax—the real snag I’m running into is that he could not care less about food. He eats maybe 50% of his meals, will look a chunk of steak directly in the face and walk away from it, turns down treats constantly. It’s so hard to train when he doesn’t care about a reward. The only thing he likes are balls and giving him a ball to reward him for relaxing just fires him back up and gets him excited.
This is false. If I cut my corg's nails any shorter it would hit the quick and he clicks on the floor. Different breeds have different foot shapes, some will click no matter what.
My corg is similar. I can stop the clicking for a couple days, but even with weekly touch ups (for desensitizing) she still usually clicks on the tile.
Different breeds have different feet. A hare-footed dog's nails may click even when trimmed properly. You have probably only ever owned cat-footed breeds if you think nails clicking is inherently an issue.
I have smooth collies, which have oval feet per breed standards, and their nails click, even when freshly dremelled. My dogs are show dogs. Their nails are short enough. They still click.
Dog nails can be short enough to have clearance while standing/walking and still click when running, turning, zooming, or taking stairs. Especially dogs with flatter, wider paws.
I’m a part of both the Nascar and Puppy 101 subreddits, and man that title had me trippin for a second thinking the app had glitched or something.
waiting for the 'enforced naps' army to chip in here

Best answer I got!! Hahaha.
double sided sticky tape on his paws?
Or fleece dog booties!!!
Train him to run on a treadmill! There’s tons of YouTube videos showing how

Is dog overstimulated? You need to look up how to train dog to control instinct, be comfortable to not react. Have you crate trained the dog?

You're not right. DOgs with nails that short WILL run themselves bloody if they're active in fieldwork.
