Poor Major -- first we hear about his personal (and private) adolescent sexual escapades and now we learn that he is a major wimp when it comes to his nails. Vickey -- did your children used to say that you were embarrassing them??!! Oh well, we promise not to tell Major that his mother is telling stories about him.
My dogs get plenty of exercise and do not wear the nails short enough so I trim them -- either with clippers or a dremmel -- and they bear it well because there are cookies involved. It is a simple process to change the dog's perspective about nail trimming -- just reward for the small steps (for example, touching a nail) and build up to actually trimming the nails. Or here is another strategy -- I have been trimming the nails of our puppies and that is a piece of cake. Vickey -- just tell Major that even babies let their nails be trimmed -- add shame to his public humiliation ;) Mary-Ann Bowman Utah Emma, Abra, Maize and the adorable ten-pack (five weeks tomorrow :)
