anitajm Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi, my daughter has a British bulldog, his nails are desperate to be cut. Vets will only do them if he's sedated which is just not an option. He is a big softie but hates having his nails cut and growls. They used to live up north and a dog groomer used to do it easily by putting him in a grooming harness which was perfect but can't find a grooming place that will just do nails around sheffield. they will only do full grooming. Can anyone help or recommend a groomer that will do this? Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaliRichard Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Can't you do it yourself? I bought a pair of clippers for a couple of quid and do my staffy's with them. He's as giddy as anything but is quite happy to let me cut them in exchange for a treat or two. I just looked up on the net how to do it and it seemed easy so just took the plunge and it's not difficult at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie_B Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Have you considered clicker training him to have his nails clipped? I did this with my dog & she's now happy to have her nails cut (if they need cutting as she wears them down naturally now). It worked so well that I have now phased the clicker out. If you'd like more info on how you can do this feel free to PM me:-) Best of luck:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitajm Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 My other daughter can do them but he is impossible to keep still and does not like being restrained so that doesn't work either he gets very stressed out and seems such an ordeal for him.

H_Hounds Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The clicker training sounds like a good idea if it stresses him out. It's usually the noise the clippers make that freaks them out so you could try cutting something like a pencil (might be a bit too hard but something like that) and treating him when he hears the sound so he gets used to it. I offer nail cutting on it's own for £5. You don't need to book but do ring me before you come to check I'm there as I offer grooming for bookings any day of the week so i have random days off. Pets at Home also offer nail cutting on it's own, I think it's £7 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
