I bought a PediPaws also an how I got Hiro to take to it was I first held him in my lap with the trimmer next to him-
treat, then actually touched the trimmer (off) to each paw-
treat, then held trimmer away from him a little, turned on-
treat, then just barely touched one nail with trimmer on-
treat..so now when I get the trimmer out, he jumps on the little couch waiting for me to sit down so he can climb into my lap and get his nails done because then he gets his special treat! Of course then I have to do the two other dogs nails so they can earn one of the special nail-treats. Hiro has two white nails so I have an idea where his quick is, and it is kinda long so the PedPaw is my best option. Good luck with the trimming!
