so, some of you are probably aware of the trouble we've gone through trying to cut Horse's nails (previous vet-tried to eat them when they tried to cut his nails, so they gave us meds to sedate him, they didnt work, have been bringing him to our current vet monthly to get his nails cut). During our last vet visit I thought to myself "I wonder if I put Horse on the kitchen counter, up high, if he would let me cut his nails?". So, I decided to try it tonight, and wouldn't you know, he just stood there and let me do it!!! You don't even know how happy I am right now, and I can't even believe how easy it was, after 4 years of struggling with the nail-clipping issue! On the other hand, kinda upset that the vet didn't suggest this, after all this time, guess they just wanted the $15 to cut his nails. Wishing I figured this out sooner!
So, moral of the story is, if you struggle with clipping your dogs nails, try putting them up high on a counter or table, it just might work!
