I got Emma when she was 12 weeks old and that was the first time I ever clipped her nails, she did awesome. But the second time i did it she was terrified of the clippers. It would take me hours to try and get her to be calm so i could cut them. So then i decided to take her to the pet store to get them cut and they said they couldn’t cut them because she was too wiggly and they were afraid they would hurt her. You wouldn’t think it would be so hard to control a dog that weighs only 5 pounds but it really is. So for about 9 months i have tried basically everything. So i just recently bought a nail dremmel. I actually got it at Wal-Mart and it is just a standard dremmel. Well i gradually introduced it to her and she still hated it but i was consistent and about 2 weeks ago i was able to file her nails in 2 minutes. I have done it a little every other day because they were a little long and she has done terrific every time. The only complaint i have is since mine is just a dremmel if I’m not careful her hair can get caught in it. It doesn’t anymore because she does not wiggle but if your dog is you should buy one with one. I would have too but i don’t like the one they sell at Wal-Mart that is not rechargeable and the peticure takes forever to get so i will deal. Now that i have the dremmel i will never ever use clippers again a dremmel is the best possible way to do it. |
