Agreed, your anxiety over not hurting them will definitely fuel his own anxiety. I used to go Luma's nails and she was fine. Then one day I accidentally hit the quick and I freaked out and was so upset for drawing blood. After that Luma wouldnt let me go it. Luckily we have an awesome groomer who Luma sees pretty regularly for touch ups (we're growing her hair long so no trims, just little snips to her ear hair, sanitary, shave down the corners by her eyes, between her pads) they usr the noose and she holds perfectly still, the little stinker. $7 to cut and grind her nails vs. Anxiety through the roof is worth it to me. |
