Do you trim your dog's nails?

Do you trim your dog's nails?

I just trim kaisers due claw they get long and sometimes he pulls them out himself i tell him no if i see him because they do go sore when he does was actually thinking of getting them cut off

I've been wondering if i should be doing that. Only had my dog 3 weeks so Im still learning loads. I weren't sure if they would trim themselves since he goes for a walk on payments 2 hours a day or if i should cut them.
Think I will have to they seem to be getting sharper, when i play fight with him its like fighting freddy krueger

They should wear down if he walks alot on pavement i thought kaisers were to long took him the vets and they said they were so just cut the points off my self generally its just his due claws that get long cos they dont use them when they walk

No i don`t trim them i walk the dog`s a lot so i don`t have to

yes i trim my dogs nails with a nail clippers i purchased from my local pet store, but you must be very careful while trimming your dogs nails, as the nails are full of tiny blood vessels, if you cut one of theses vessels it can be very painful for the dog. my advice is if your not confident about trimming your dogs nails is to go to your local vet, he will do the job for you and show you the correct way to carry out this procedure.

This is his achilles heel.
His nerves seem to come down much lower in the nail than typical.
Consequently, he goes mad if I produce a set of nail clippers. The local grooming salon also failed, as did the vet.
The solution - walk him on the pavement more than the fields.

We take Rocky to our local dog training centre that also has a grooming hut ajoined to it. Two lovely ladies to fuss over him for half an hour he loves it. Rocky is a bit of a ladys man.
