YES YOU CAN DECLAW A DOG-
I've trained several dogs already that were in fact declawed. Would I do it myself? No, I'd rather be responsible and trim their nails...part of owning a pup. Not interested in cutting corners on that one. If the nails are too long even when trimmed because the quic is long, then you can have your pup mildly sedated and have the vet cut them extreamly short for you and cauterize the quic and start fresh.
I must admit it is awkward to see a dog declawed. Especially this one Doberman I trained...it just stood out that he had no nails, as well as little traction at high speeds! |
