the breeder i got toby from WAS ALSO a groomer...... so........ toby came to me with a nice clean hair cut and ...... guess what!!!!... (this is the real thrill) he actually PREFERS to have his nails CUT rather than having them filed down (i tried this once because i was worried abuot cutting him.......... but he was squirming all over the place).. when i cut his nails using clippers he just lays on his back and dozes like he is being pampered or massaged, this is probably what you want your baby to do mybirdy...... christi gave you some EXCELLENT tips on how to get to this point (i really wouldnt know much about the process of getting them to enjoy it, because toby came to me liking being groomed)... but i do know one thing for sure with these little guys (and i learned this early on) PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF!!!, dont give up, i have found that nail clipping can be VERY rewarding and relaxing to toby, and i hope you get to this step too....... |
