They are actually both pretty good with baths and trims and such, they just hate their nails done and that is the part I hate too!! I say just go for it!! It's only hair and it will grow back!! Try and not be nervous and just tackle it because I think they can feel you and if you are hesitant they try and wiggle and squirm. Also, before I put them on the pink table I put it on the floor and they sniffed it and I gave them a treat. When I put them on it, another treat, show them the clippers, treat, rub clipper on them when off, treat, turn clippers on, treat, etc... Make it a positive experience and if you are getting stressed or they are you don't have to complete it all at once! Do a little one day and then continue the next day! Hope this helps!! |
Thank you for the advice and encouragement! I'm sure it will be trial and error and I know we will get better at it!
It will be better for them in the long run and it will be a great money saver too!
Again great job!!
