mmm....cutting a dog's nails, huh? I just started using this great new tool to sand the nails down. I have a boxer boy and he doesn't mind the tool at all. It's a Dremmel but Black & Decker makes one too called the Wizard. You put the sanding tool on it and sand the nails down.

To get him used to it. I just turned it on and let him sniff it (with no sanding tool on it.) After that I'd run it down his legs and let it sit on his nails until he stopped pulling away. It takes me about 15 minutes to do it and his nails look wonderful.
