Welcome to YT!! You joined on a day filled with excitement on the threads about Maddie, so that may be why so few have responded. Glad you are here.
I just learned a new little trick about trimming nails. Lay your dog on her side, on your couch or somewhere you can easily be on your knees and at about the same level as her, Ok - if you're right handed, you've got the clippers in that hand, so with your left arm reach across her body and hold her paw, this allows your left arm to kind of hold her in place. clip both the front & back nails on that side -- be careful not to hit her quick, you don't want to hurt her & make her bleed. Then turn her to the other side and get the other 2 paws.
I used to do it with the dogs between my legs and on their backs, it worked sometime. I've even wrapped my female up in a towel, and just had one paw out of the towel at a time, also, sometimes worked - but my girl got to moving to much. |
