We've bought the clippers but so far are too chicken try it ourselves. I watched the last time we had it done and it seems easy enough.
Punkin seems to need hers down about every 8 weeks, she walks on pavement everyday so I guess that keeps them worn down pretty good.
Yesterday while flipping channels I saw the TV show with Stanley Coren

He does segments with people in their homes when they having furbaby problems. Sort of like a Canadian Dog Whisperer. He said that it can hurt the dogs to have their nails clipped. He suggested clipping after they have stood in warm water while having a bath or take warm wash cloths and wrap them around the paw, cover with a baggie and close with a loose fitting elastic. What 15 minutes or so and then cut.
Has anyone heard this before?
