We have been playin with his paws, touching, massaging etc so he is much better about us handling them but the clippers (and dremel) are very stressful for him. He will even ignore a jar of peanut butter to avoid trimming.
My daughter & I do not get as frustrated as my husband & son when trying so I'd rather her and I do this when the boys are not around....the problem is that we are not strong enough to hold onto his wiggly self (he even wiggled out of a secure muzzle @ the vets yesterday). He also sees Bella lay around for hers without a care in the world. I'm thinking we are now going to have to try and trim 1 nail per day to get him aclimated.
Any suggestions on what else we can do to make this much less traumatic for him?
Thanks!
Kim
