I have a one year old male dog. I had cut his nails a couple of times. The last time I did it, it hurt him. And today, I tried to cut his nails but he would not let me. I want to keep his nails clean but I don't know what to do now since he almost bite me today.

Massage your dog's paws so that he can get used to having them held for nail clipping. Help him ease into it by trimming only 1 or 2 nails first. Don't do it all at once if he shows his uncomfy. You may also want to distract him with a toy or some food he likes.

Aww, I miss my Oreo. My cousin borrowed my dog for a week.

Don't cut too much of the nail or it might bleed. When it bleeds, apply some starch for it to clot much faster. When's the proper time to trim the nails? When the nails touch the dog when your dog is standing...that's pretty long enough and ready for some trimming.

My son really enjoys his pet puppy for the first 3 months when the nails grew he starts avoiding him but i am more scared,afraid he would not allow me to cut his nais and bite me or afraid of getting scratch once i start holding his paw. Is not cutting a puppy's nails alright?

Try making the trimming a fun scene instead of an unpleasant situation for your dog. The past experience is what makes the dog react in such a way currently. What you need to do is just hold his toe for 10-15 seconds while you talk to him softly and pet him. It might take a few days to get the dog to stop trying to bite you when you do this, but when he realises he isn't in pain through this, it should get him comforted. When your dog tolerates you holding his paws, then cut one nail at a time. If this goes well, remember to praise and encourage him with a treat. This way you dog should be able to forget the last bad experience and think of the nail cutting as a happy treat time.

Hope this works for you.

If you really are nervous about him biting you, you can wrap his muzzle with a bandanna -it sounds kind of mean, but this is what our vet told us. It also helps because it distracts the dog from the fact that you are clipping his nails! Also, if you have some extra cash, they sell doggie clippers that have a sensor in them that helps you avoid the vein. Around $30-40 bucks, but very helpful if you're trying to keep Fido bleed-free.

But its good to cut the nails of your pet especially dogs. If they are also playing with your children and if they accidentically spur them if your dogs nails are cut it will not slash over your children skin.

Your vet can cut them quickly and painlessly. Most people cut them to short and/or take to long "pulling the trigger" so to speak.

Yup your correct my vet cuts my dogs nails sometime. I also go to a dog grooming center or what they call beauty parlor for dogs.

Usually there is a bend in the clippers that match the shape of the nails. Use that bend as your guide. I use the bend because I feel safest doing it that way but for my big dog's nails my fiance uses it sideways to get through the whole nail in one clip

Nailcutting your dog is a bit harder than humans. You might overdo it abd your dogs paw will be bleeding. If your dog has white colored nails then its easy for you to see where the blood flow but if it a little dark then thats harder to chip in. Try to slowly cut dogs nails or quick so that your dog wont be bleeding.

This is a very difficult task to do. Cutting the nails of my dog seems so hard that’s why I take him to his vet for grooming duties. He also told me that I can buy nail grooming kit for my dog.

You can buy nail cutting kit for your pet at a local supermarket or department store. If you already have your kit, ask your veterinarian to show you how to cut your pet’s nails.

Is it easy to nail cut your dog? Is there any training for dog grooming?

It is easy if you know how to do it. There are pet grooming shops that teach pet owners how to groom their pets. If you want, you can enroll and have a DIY grooming of your pet.

I would like to enroll in a pet grooming session because if I take my dog to a grooming center it would cost me $50 - $100. It’s better if I know how to groom my pet to save money and time.

That's a good school to enroll if you have a pet. One grooming session for your pet should cost you around $50. That would be a good saving and you will just buy your own stuff.

Really it only cost $50. I’m already searching in our area about a dog grooming classes.

I’m still searching for one here in our area but unfortunately I haven’t got any luck. I will just look on tutorial videos on the internet.

Be careful when your dog’s nail. There are small and you might cut the nerve of their nails.

I’ve tried this nail cutting my dog. It’s very difficult and I even watched other tutorial videos and it really show how hard and your pet would not cooperate at all.
