I do I dont have a specifice schedula that i clip them though I just look at their nails regularly and if they are long I cut them lol oh and we ALWAYS cut them before a dog event, like flyball, or agility, just so they dont hurt themselves. Blair though we have to get tranquilizers from the vet, and from there its still a struggle! lol so we go through that torture only if it absolutly cant wait any longer, it takes 2 people, a double dose of tranquilizer, a pillow, a blanket, nail clippers, sissors, the table, and some banadages to fix yourself up after being bitten and scratched for an hour lol
