Sugar's nails actually HOOK under :eek: they are fairly short. I even had the vet do them when she was under in December....they still "hooked" :rolleyes: |

but I don't know....... I have been taking Riley to the Vet about every 4 - 6 weeks and have them trim them there, at $15 a pop. They always come out and say: He has had his Mani/Pedi. LOL!! :) |
I'd have to agree that they look too long. I make sure Morgan's are very short. I took them back with a dremmel every few days till they were the length I wanted. Now i just file away the tips every week to keep them short. |
3 Attachment(s) More pics...sorry about the quality... Attachment 343603 Attachment 343604 Attachment 343605 I still need to go shorter but I'll wait and check them in 2-4 days. |

Haha! Too cute! (my mental image) |
I never got a chance to reply to this thread again! The pics were great! Helped me a ton! I have been slowly trimming them away. I can only get about 3 nails done per 'session' before he's had enough. But he's slowly been learning to allow me to grab his paw for longer periods of time. I started with string cheese.... I held his paw for a second, gave a treat, etc. Then I grabbed it for 3 seconds, then treat. He actually started offering his paw to me. Then I placed the cheese on top of the nail clippers so he had to associate the clippers with food... it's definitely been helping!! He still HATES it but he's getting better (with me!) I am sure he will be a pain in the butt for the groomer again when she cuts them. |

That's so cute that he actually gives you his paw! Sapphire was getting a treat after each nail! Now we've got it down to a treat after each foot. Depending on her mood (and mine) I may only get two feet done in one sitting, then I do the other two the next day or two. I like to not be in a hurry, and if I don't get all four feet done, it's no big deal. I know eventually we'll get there, and the important thing is to be relaxed, and always end on a good note! Also, once you get them to the length you want, it's so much easier to maintain them. Getting them to the right length can be a mess especially if you have to skip doing them a time or two. And you're right, keep it all positive! |
The nails on Jackson look a little long to me also. My three all have different kind of nails. Barney's naturally stay short, Daisy has one nail that gets very long and Teddy is Edward Scissorhands. |
The lenth of your dogs nails depends on your dog. There isnt a set length for all dogs. I actually think they look pretty good in the picture. But of my three dogs, they all are sooo different. They are all very very active, but only on keeps his nails worn down, but one of them his nails grow sooo fast, and they point out like yours, so they seem longer. But Just because you can hear them click on the floor doesnt mean they are too long for every dog. One of mine, no matter how short you can go, you can see his quicks, so its easy, they still click on the floor, its just the way his feet and nails are shaped. The other can go back far enough that they dont click. IT just depends on each individual dog. |
