The way you hold their paw also makes a difference.

See how she's holding the paw back? That can make a difference for some pups.
I've used different type of nail clippers and I prefer to use the nail scissor the best. Next up is the dremel. You can get the nail scissor from toplinepet.com. The owner is a member and I believe she offers discounts for YT members. Msg member mimimomo if you have any questions. She has great with customer service! |
Thanks for your info. I'll check the video out and also keep trying to desensitize her as well. Haley is such a sweat dog in all but nail cutting. I was trying to use dog nail clippers for her size, but I think I'll try the Drexel. She doesn't even like anyone to touch her paws. I am starting to play with her by touching her paws and making it a game w/ treats you suggested. She is not totally opposed to it so I'll keep trying it.
