Willy is very responsive to verbal cues so I will definitely try adding such practices to the process (and be 100% consistent with it).This is excellent advice. We do this with Magnus. I also tell him how many more to go. "Okay all feets. This feet. All done this feet, next feet." Then when he gets really kick-y I say how many toes left and then we are left with, "okay just one more."
Why feets is just to keep words consistent because Magnus has AAC buttons. It's not grammatically accurate but we didn't want to have him running off whenever someone mentioned a foot when we used to have to soak his feet daily.
I already know what verbal cues make him feel more relaxed, and often make him start purring.
