hi could anyone recommend some good nail clippers that are sharp and easy to use. never cut my dogs nails before but she is frightened of strangers doing it so I am gonna attempt it but must say im am really worried. she has a habit of jumping when I attempt to try anything of this sort. any tips would be great and any videos that might help. thanks.

Can't recommend clippers as montys groomer does his, but I find the best way to distract him is to smear peanut butter on the fridge/dishwasher. It takes him ages to see if he's managed to get it all, that I'm able to look at his feet/cut mats out of his ears etc. Hope that might help a little!

I've had a right time with Alfie as he hates his nails being cut. Saw online about filing them with a dremel. I've just tried this on Alfie and it was a breeze. He just lay on his back as calm as anything having a manicure. I can't believe after 3 yrs of having a battle, I wish I had found out about filing them beforehand.

A nail grinder/file is definitely the way to go if you have a dog who is worried about having their nails clipped - so much safer than nail clippers and most dogs tolerate them really well. As well as Dremel, Wahl & Oster make their own versions now so plenty of choice available (although more expensive than manual nail clippers)
