9 Mistakes YOU Might Be Making Cutting Your Dogs Nails

Excellent motivation for the human! I may have taken steps toward most of these essential skills and equipment, but not enough. Now I feel I can transfer some of my insecurity to your clear preparation for success. Thank you!

I also just learned about shaving the law pad fluff. I had never ever heard about that. So I thought my dogs were sliding because of their nails. I tried: nails they slip till slide. We have rugs everywhere, and once I started trimming the fluff when I do their nails they stopped sliding. Who knew? Not me. I didn’t know that. Hahahaha. I loved your video.❤

For the first tip. If I use a grinder on a small dog, I can't bend her leg backwards into the natural position, because the grinder is big and hard to stuck underneath her and will eat her furnishing or her belly fur, even tho the breed is a square-shaped build (mini schnauzer). I can do this with my bigger dog.

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you ! Great tips . Much appreciated . 😊🌻

This is excellent, thank you. Your baby sure loves you.

Inprefer grinding amd stopped clipping, because i cant see the quick. But i also do my Border Collie's nails weekly.

My dog hates her nails cut. I have to hide the cutters bc she bolts if she sees them. I do it while she's laying on my couch. Afterwards she lays across my living room mad at me for about an hr.

My two year old lab loves getting her nails cut though I’m not sure if it’s because she gets a treats. She knows what “nail cut” means. We do it on the floor though and she just lays on her back. I give her a treat (normal food) after every nail. When I’m done she gets a nice rewarding treat though. Iv recently started sanding her nails with a file so they are so sharp. A grinder would fix that but I don’t know how she would feel about it.

Thank you very much. This is stressful for me and my dog. I will try everything you advised. What do you think about “ hanging up” the dog in the air, with a holder and pole suspension?

What sanding band grit is recommended?

This is helpful. But dear lord my Pyrenees lays down so awkward positions and elevation are….not always happening. We do our very best. He was a rough rescue and it took me months of learning and loving and doing one law at a time. But now we clip and grind fairly easily. Just not as short as I want. Every other week he grudgingly gives me a few minutes of his patience. But when he’s done he’s done. lol. Yes to the powder because if you’re clipping at home it’s just going to happen. He’s good but the girl has black nails and randomly will pull so I have hit a quick every other clip. She lets me grind them. And weirdly will put her paw on my lap if I’m filing my nails and I can pretend file hers with my nail file.

Why don't you just making short? Show the ustensiles you use and demonstrate. Who has so much time to hear all the thing in between?😊 I really wanted to learn but your video is to much of talking.
