I'm not complaining, just stating facts. I'm open for suggestions.
$35 for a nail trim! I pay less than that for the entire dog. The one thing I can suggest it to work with him every day. Put a towel on a high counter, place him on to of the towel so he does not slide around and touch him all over his body while giving treats and praise. Do this several times a day until he is very comfortable with you touching him. Hold his paws and touch each nail, his ears, eyes all over. It really does work. I did it with Pebbles and she was a nightmare. Now she is one of the groomers favorites.
