  • At what RPM do you run the Dremel?

  • @Chuchen We use it at a little over half-speed as a rule. Don't want it running too fast as it generates heat that might burn the dog's foot.

  • i recently got the pedi paws and he is unsure of it so i wanted to know how to train him to get used to it

  • @BluePringlez Start out by turning on the machine and holding his paw but do NOT try to trim the nails the first few times. Just touch the machine to his paw/nails - NOT the sanding part - and tell him how good he is for not jumping. Once he knows the tool is not going to hurt him, and that you want him to behave a certain way, then go ahead and start actually trimming his nails. Good luck!

  • How do you avoid hitting the quick?

  • I miss the quick by not trimming too much at a time. Better that I call the dog back in a few days and do a little more, than to do too much.

  • I wished vets or dog grooming places in my area cut my mini poodles like that... I tell them to cut their nails and they look the same! Irritates the heck out of me.

  • just saw this in another video and was a bit shocked, please wet their feet beforehand and keep it to a low setting.

  • I have a basset hound with very long black nails, I dont think this will help? The sand paper would be wore out after a few nails? any ideas?

  • @ohhbbyitsfact

    You could try buying a THICK emeryboard. The one's that we buy for our nails.

    It may take longer but you wont have to use the dremel tool.

  • Charlie Brown! :D

  • You wouldn't say, "for he." You wouldn't say, "for I." "For he and I" HURTS MY EARS!

  • @kwikshowmehow2 I did do that but he's been trying to run away. I prase him with his favorite meat but when i give it he runs far away from me afterwords.. D= Its very frustrating
