The answer would be three. Oh my god, Brutus is so bad getting his nails trimmed, it takes two people to hold him down, and one to clip his nail while he is muzzled. It costs ten dollars to get the nails clipped and a twenty dollar tip as a bribe so I don't feel so bad and to ensure they continue to be nice to my neurotic baby :cursing:

Sometimes Stinky will let me..other times he throws a fit. If were going to the vets when nails need it I have them do it. And it takes 2 of them.

Harlea is a wiggle worm when we do it but is a perfect angel at the puppy spa when they do it.

2 for Brie. My hubby holds her n I clip. She is pretty good about it, but it's hard to do it alone cos Brie is a wiggle butt. When the vet does it, the tech holds her and she lets them know she is not amused w a series of vocal complaints.

I'm afraid to do chum's because half of his nails are black and half are clear..there's no way to see the vein so I won't touch them..he's pretty calm when the pet spa does it though.

One for me and that would be me. I do all 4 of mine and the bullies lay on their back. Has he always been like that with his nails?

No he was fine the firs few Times I took him and then all of sudden he was terrible. I think maybe it hurt once when I took him and he remembers

Wow, Jeannie you're such a great mom:) I'm so impressed how you can keep the peace and they are all always so flippin clean and perfect:heart:.

I can cut the claws on all mine without problems but there are very sad faces in this house when the claw clipper comes out of its closet, lol.

Gunny is a monster when it comes to his nails! I can only do one paw a night because he throws a fit!

My bf and I have done it together only 2-3 times because she wiggles so much and tries to bite us! We took her to Petco to have them done before Thanksgiving and it took them less than 5 minutes!!!! One girl held her and petted her and the other clipped the nails and it was so quick and easy. What a brat :no:
