Between the loud noise, the horrible smell, and the fact that the dog was pulling as though I were attempting to amputate her paw, it made an already crappy task even worse.

n’t vibrate her paw as much

If you have a trepid dog like mine who freaks out at the sound of the grinding tool and jerks her paw back when you try to trim it, I recommend lots of patience - one nail at a time.

None of my dogs like their nails done, but I was able to knock out an entire paw in seconds

I do find it helps my dog a lot if I grasp the base of the nail I'm working on firmly so that vibrations don't travel up her paw/

so you have to be careful not to grind too far, but any idiot can usually figure that out, especially when your dog is pulling its paw away constantly and crying.

With this tool, he lay perfectly still while I filed then, with none of the usual pulling and jerking his paw away

She held us down and tried ripping our paws off.

If your dog has issues with having his feet touched, use treats and reward him as he lets you touch his toes

I probably spent about 15-20 seconds on each nail, and as my dog was not thrashing about as he usually does come manicure time, I could really watch each nail get filed, and keep well away from the quick

I have a 75 lbs dog and it works great on her as well as on my 25lbs dog

he hates this and as soon as it turns on he hides
