Trying to trim Ellie's nails is a total nightmare. She has always hated it. It got to the point where I was able to do only one a day while she slept (she sharp wakes up and scarpers).
We have tried every trick in the book, but she still resists.
So my latest purchase is a Wahl Nail Grinder (she's not at all impressed), I haven't been able to actually use it on her yet, as I am trying to desensitise her a little every day. It is quite noisy, so I am taking turns just turning it on beside her, then just touching her nails with the thing off. What a faff, she is such a Diva!
Here's a couple of her feeling more relaxed (no nail grinder in sight)
We are looking to take her away for a few days in the October term holidays. A friend of ours has just acquired an 18 month old white Boxer dog, so we are thinking of going away as group. I'm sure Ellie will appreciate having a doggy friend along this time.
Hopefully we will have 'conquered' the nail dilemma by then lol!
