[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 249434, member: 764"] I've done my dog's nails a number of times each year. It does work better when weather is cooperative and I sit out on the driveway with the Dremel (grinder wheel) and trim them up. My dog knows what is going on and just comes and lays down between my legs. He does it like this because he knows he's getting a treat as soon as we're finished. Same thing goes with baths, once we're finished he knows the Milkbones are out and he gets one as compensation. Now, during the winter this sucks a bit because we're not outside and his nails are growing faster than the fur between his paw pads. I had to pull out the canine nail clippers last week just to get them downsized. The more you trim them the further back the dog's quick retreats back to the base of the nail. If you don't trim nails repeatedly their quick actually grows longer and the bleeding is more susceptible to occur. Mother Nature surely isn't listening to the Farmer's Almanac prediction of our "mild" winter. El Nino isn't helping us out one bit! [/QUOTE]
