I don't have time to follow these threads every day, but I think I saw someone post on one of these tail docking ones that they know how to do it painlessly while the puppies sleep. I sure wish they would repeat the instructions for that because I need help badly. Sunday evening I was doing tails and dew claws for a 4 day old litter and they were so vocal in their objections that I stopped after the 2nd one, just couldn't stand it any more. Sometimes I skip doing it on an entire litter, some days just don't have the heart to try, and I have so many European dogs with their full tails in my kennel that nothing looks out of place to me. Anyway, if the expert who knows the proper painless procedure could step forward with instructions I would be very grateful. Thank You.
