| Oh shivers I need to enter shows ugh I'm too tired. I've been logging on to explore and that's it lol |
| Minerva |
| Mine's entered a grand total of 3 today xD I knew I'd come to regret giving her 400 EEEs at the same training level lol |

| When your money drains with every click you make - yep barn manager is entering horses XD |
| MakeEm Fancy |
| My chiweenie and my blue heeler are nightmares when it comes to trimming. I manage though lol |
| Kaldwin Stud |
| I started off with a rubber lickimat covered in peanut butter and I would suction it to my shower wall to distract the dog while I dremeled his nails. That kept him too busy to fight me while he got used to it. Now I can basically just grab his feet and do it wherever, he might try to step away or pull his feet a little but he's pretty cooperative overall. And he knows he'll get a big chewy prize when it's done, like a trachea, pig ear, or beef cheek roll |

| I hate doing nails- I'm always terrified I'll cut too much or they'll move at a shit time |
| Sforzando |
| same here tano, once upon a time i used to trim nails like it was no big deal. now i cry every time i get close to quicking mine HAHA |
| Sylvan Lake Stables |
| I'm also paranoid of quicking nails despite working as a dog groomer in the past. So I dremel my dog's nails. If I try to clip them it's like wrestling a gator, he expresses his anal glands, nobody's happy. But with the dremel he stands still and lets me do it, and I can get right down to the quick with no risk of cutting it, and then I can round the nail off instead of leaving a sharp point as well. I'm the biggest advocate for dremeling nails on any dog who will tolerate it |
| Minerva |
| I'd 100% say take her to a professional for at least her first time then if you're not confident doing them. Or just spend a little bit of time each day working on filing them down a little at a time. Alternatively (and I don't know if this is actually good advice or not but it works for me) if there's anywhere with a big slab of concrete you can play lots of tug of war and fetch on, they'll wear down on that. I think I've only cut Paddy's claws once in two years because he spends all his time zipping about in the warehouse yanking things about |

| yeah, dark nails are tricky. best have a vet do it especially if she doesn't like her feet touched. then you can work on getting her comfortable with her feet until the next time she needs a trim |
| Transformers Acres |
| Molly HATES having her feet touched, and she's solid black, aside from a white spot on her chest. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| and hopefully the vet/vet tech can make it a good experience for her. bring treats! |
