Nail clipping
Does anybody on here cut their staffers nails? Mia has various walks ie: beach, fields, woods and road walks and I would of thought this would keep her nails nice and short. The back ones are fine, it's just her front ones, they are quite sharp and could do with a trim. It must be the way she walks lol

Re: Nail clipping
Walks take care of Suki nails but we do have to trim her dew claws. WE normally wait until she is asleep and clip one at a time. Takes a couple of days but worth the patience as she doesn't like her nails clipped and would be very uncooperative otherwise.

Re: Nail clipping
I clip Bane's after having a very bad first experience at a "groomers". He has slowly got used to it, and we always have treats on hand to praise him and make him happy Last time I did it he was asleep...he woke up but he was so tired he moved to see what I was doing and then just laid back down and let me.

Re: Nail clipping
Rocky has his nails clipped by the lovely ladies at our local dog training centre (they have a groom room attached) he loves all the fuss and attention and it's only every 3 months or so, they charge a pound a paw which isn't too bad.

Re: Nail clipping
Snoop would never let us touch his nails.
