Here is a link that tells you how to cut nails and it has great pictures and it is very detailed so you will know what you are doing and not second quessing yourself. It is a great link and if you know anyone who needs to know how to cut a dog's nails, it would be something you would want to pass on. Anyways here it is, enjoy!!!  http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ClientED/dog_nails.asp |
That's a great link - explains it perfectly and the visuals are excellent. Keep in mind the nails they are showing are those of much bigger dogs - I would never cut that much off of Oscar's nails at one time.
I think the scissor style might just be easier than the guilotene style.. not sure though...
