Hello Everyone,

I am currently experiencing some difficulties with Jazzy.  We have clipped her nails twice before with no issues and gave her treats after.  We never clipped them too short, or seem to hurt her.  Now, the other night I went to go clip her nails and she freaks out, you just touch her paw and she is jerking away and whining and panting.  She has never had this reaction to anything before.  Any ideas what is going on, or how to help her? I let her go because I didn't want to clip her nails while she was so upset.

I dont have any advise, but I know what you are going thru. Both my dogs are this way and I accidentaly cut Laceys nail too short because she jerked away from me. I now take them both to the vet for nail clippings!!

If mine freak out I keep going, because if I stop they win and will only get worse. Do you have someone to help you? The other person could hold some cheese in front of Jazzy's face while you clip so she is distracted. Also if you take her for a walk and tire her out that might help. One more thing is do them after a bath when they are softer could help.

Finally, there is a new product everyone seems to be raving about called a Pedicure which is like a dremel tool for dog nails.

Bailey freaks out every time whether the vet does it or somebody else. When we get through, it feels like I been through a war. Good luck

Mine will let me do it but once and a while they go to the groomers for the full treatment.
