Gosh you are clever not been brave enough to do it myself though

Wow.....what a great job.....what's your secret?

[Philtrum]

ahh .. fanks

just take your time ... and do it when he is asleep

if you put some pressure between the pads so they splay slightly its easier to cut (but still cut flat across the pad

took a few cuts in different directions to get it to where I wanted it to be

I then use the end of the nail as a guide and trimmed round his foor from there (from underneath, which I know is incorrect .. but he was sleeping .. so no way to get him to stand .. and be still lol)

Looks like a fab job, well done! Get some good length sharp scissors to get between the pads and that also helps.

I do this with both of mine... it makes a huge difference to the amount of muck and water they bring into the house with them! 

[Cob-Web]

I call them "poodle paws" because they are cut short like a poodle cut rather than a cocker..........I am getting better, but still can't get them that neat, well done
Molo has ticklish feet and so wakes up when I try to do it when he is sleeping

I pay to have sammy dog clipped coz its soooo much easier and dont mind paying.  Easy way out, i know

[Jan/Billy]

Molo has ticklish feet

Billy has really ticklish feet 

I have to do it really gently

[Mollie.Ladie]

I can't do it..I'm sooo scared of cutting her or something! I always make my dad do it for me

You did a very nice job!

I'm ordering some left handed scissors from Diamond Edge....I'm going to give it a go 

[Philtrum]
