I clip all my girls since i would have to win the lottery to take all 5 to the groomers all the time. It does get easier.
I use the pedipaws on my girls toenails and LOVE it!! I know it freaked them out when i first turned it on but i decided that i would get them used to it very gradually. They don't even care now and i do a little filing about every other day.
It took me a week of just touching their foot with it (not turned on) and i would praise them like crazy. i just went around on each foot and touched it with the thing. then i started holding their foot and putting each toenail inside the machine...still NOT turned on. Just got them used to me touching and putting their toenails inside. That took about another week of doing that every day. Next i turned it on and just started touching their foot with it again and gradually did the toenails. By then, they didn't care and now it doesn't bother them one little bit. I love how it smooths the toenails off really nicely and i don't have all the clicking around on the floor. It may not be for everyone but I love it and use it without any problems. It has definitely paid for itself since i had to pay to get their toenails done even though i do the grooming. Patience is the key.
Good luck!! Now, if i could just get them to let me brush their teeth....maybe i need to get an electric toothbrush for them too! LOL!! |
