| sorry, yall are so much ahead of me on tips, I dont have any that I think would help anyone but theres lots of great ones on here. I will use a few of them. I might even try to cut kizzys nails someday but it will be after I get a muzzle for her and put the knee highs on and probably make sure I wear a coat so my arms dont catch hell from scratches. shes like a wild cat when it comes to that. lol

| Does anyone "scruff" their dog while trying to trim nails? I am still new to dog ownership, but the scruffing thing works really well on impatient cats, and so far, with the Yorkies too. It is best done w/2 people, one to scruff and support the dog, one to do the trimming. Teresa |

| wow, what a great thread...hmmm tips 1. I always carry a syringe in my purse for when I travel with Zoe. She doesn't seem to like to drink out of a bottle or dish when we are away from home so I syringe water in her mouth to keep her hydrated. 2. for photo sessions, I always hold a treat in front of the camera or a favorite squeaky toy to get her to look at the camera. If they pose enough all I have to say to her is 'sit up' and she will sit straight and look at the camera. |

| These tips are great! I use the peanut butter/cheese smeared on the counter idea for Lola during her bath. I bathe her in the sink, so putting something on the counter is the perfect height and a great way to keep her mind off what I'm doing since she is still so nervous during bath time. I can bathe her whole body that way, then do her face last. |

| Ooooh! Do they smell really bad? I think I got them for the cats once, and couldn't take the smell! They were hard little balls that looked almost like candy. Teresa |

| They kinda look like a hersey kiss. The girls like the white yogurt. They don't like the dark ones. They don't smell bad, they smell sweet.

| i'm pretty sure it mean grabbing the hair that is by their mouth in a fist.. not too tight.. but tight enough that you have their attention and control over their head.. i do that when i need to clean layla's face or trim around her eyes... works GREAT! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, I though it was holding them by scruff of their neck, like the mama dog does. Anyway it works. Joey doesn't have any chin hair to grab.
