I have a 12 week-old Boston and she had her nails dremelled for the second time last week. I was most distraught listening to her yelping and squealing and had to be reassured several times by the groomer that it didn't hurt her, just that she needed to get used to it. The first time my hubbie took her and he said she didn't make a sound. Do you think it hurt her? It certainly sounded like it did. I felt sick to my stomach and wanting to rush in and rescue her. Any opinion?
Is there a better way to do it? I have a 100 dane pup who pulls away from even the clipper... :\ its not easy to click either when you do it and she doesn't respond to any yip any advice on how to do it on a pup who pulls away
Oh My, he is being so good, despite the loud noise, this must be a male dog.
I have a Female Doberman (90 + LBS) she would not put up with this. I may try it, or train her to not mind the noise. She hates her paws even being touched.
The "yip" is the mark. I usually click, but I don't have enough hands to Dremel and click. So the yip is my other conditioned marker. It tells the dog exactly what he did to earn the treat. Thanks for the question!
