I clip both of my pups' nails. Graham is quite prissy for a boy, he loves being pampered and having his toe nails trimmed. He lyes down and hands me his paws when I get the nail clipper out. Cassie is like Genia's Bandit. She puts up a fight but I do it anyway because I want her to know I am the boss. She gets better and better every time I do it. In fact, last time I did it, which was just before I went to Chicago and left her with a friend, she did not like it but she did not put up much fight at all. I praised her alot while I was clipping to calm her down and it worked, she only squirmed once or twice which is good. I used to have to practiclly hog tie her with each and every nail. After her wonderful nail trimming experience she immediately got a couple of yummy treats and praise so hopefully she'll continue to get better and better.
