How do I make trimming my dog's nails more comfortable for her? General Dog Discussions
She squirms, yelps, tries to bite but then stops herself. When we took her to the vet we asked them to trim her nails, but she gave them a hard time too and they didn't know what to do. They had us stand next to her and try to calm her down. She's done it for as long as I can remember.
Just now, I tried trimming her nails. I got the first one, and then she started trying to bite the trimmer and squirming. I pause after each one and hold her and talk to her, she'll look up at me and try to kiss me and then I go for the next one. She does the same thing. But just now, I trimmed a little too far because she doesn't let me keep the trimmer there for too long and I tried doing it quickly. I put flour on it and stopped, didn't get to the rest of them. What do I do? Her nails are so long...
