The nail clippers are the neutral stimulus because it had no meaning to the dog prior to the trim. The unconditioned stimulus is getting the nails clipped. The unconditioned response is the pain the animal felt when the nail was trimmed too short because there is no conditioning required to make an animal react to pain. After pairing the nail clippers with the pain (conditioning), the once‐neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus and causes a conditioned response (just seeing the nail clippers can cause the animal to wince).
