Hi,
We seek your advice on a nail grinder and techniques for a 65-pound dog who is very anxious about nail trims.
Nail clippers have become too traumatic for our dog (he growls, lunges, and scares everyone), even when he is drugged and the vet or groomer does it. So, we are going to try a grinder.
Can you recommend a particular nail grinder that might be quieter/gentler than other options?
Also, any wisdom to pass on about nail grinding technique? I read on the forum about reinforcing calmness with treats and belly rubs. We'll try that, but not sure if that will be enough. We also noted someone recommended trimming nails right after a bath, when his nails are soft - we'll definitely try that.
Much thanks for any advice you can give!
