How can I get my dog's nails trimmed without the struggle? General Dog Discussions
When my pup was younger he would allow me to cut his nails with no problem, however now that he is growing up (7months now) he is not letting me get near him with the nail clippers. I finally decided to take him to a groomer who was able to put him on a table and cut his nails without a struggle. What can I do to get him to hold still while I do this at home? I have tried having my husband hold him, giving him something to chew on, and snipping while he sleeps. He just struggles terribly and i'm unable to trim his nails safely. I always mess with his feet, holding his nails and running my fingers between his pads. He's fine with this, but when the clippers come out he is gone! Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? I have tried using different nail clippers- but he still won't let me!
