She gives some excellent advice on how to start doing this -- which I wish I had known about before I started doing my dogs. After my big blowup with Major a couple of months ago over dremeling his nails, I've taken the advice of several people on this list and Major and I have come to a good compromise. He allows me to do two nails a night, 2 or 3 times a week, without a problem. I wanted to do four, he wanted me to do NONE, I promised more treats, and he agreed to two. And he's been a very good boy about it, tolerating it quietly without fighting. He does quickly remind me if I try to sneak in a third, so I think this is going to be our routine. I do like my rechargeable battery-operated dremel, as it is much quieter than the electric models, and very convenient to use. Vicky Whitney Bozeman, Montana

Re: dremel question
We use the round sanding disk, works great and the dogs do not mind it at all, well maybe a wee bit at first. :-) Ray & Pat Burgett Eaglecap Bernese Talee,Lexi,,Bell, Shadow & Max www.goodbernerfood.com http://users.eoni.com/~eaglecap/ Draminski Ovulation Detector Rep
Re: dremel question
Use the sanding bands, kinda like an emery board .. the grinding stones get too hot and use the low speed. Here is a great site on dremeling dog nails, great detail with pictures. http://homepages.udayton.edu/~merenski/doberdawn/dremel/dremel.html Teresa, Patriot and Romeo - Original Message - From: "Andrea Brin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > woofit and chi now have a dremel. it is cordless and has two speeds. it > comes with a collet on it and some accessories. can you use the collet > alone? what should we ideally use for their nails. this is a lot more > complicated than i thought it would be. their groomer just grinds!
dremel question
woofit and chi now have a dremel. it is cordless and has two speeds. it comes with a collet on it and some accessories. can you use the collet alone? what should we ideally use for their nails. this is a lot more complicated than i thought it would be. their groomer just grinds! thanks andrea, woofit and chi shavertown, pa http://www.brin.org/Woofit_and_Chi/
