How do you guys trim dog nails?

I have a 110 pitlab and she hates her nails trimmed. She is a sweetheart until I try and trim her nails. Any advice on how to get her to let me trim her nails? She used to wear them down but not so much anymore.

Take her for a walk every day on the sidewalk. The concrete will take care of the rest.

Take her to a pro. They’re used to it.

Rotary trimmer. Do not use clippers. You can cut down into the nerve.

Roll her on her back and sit on her. Grab a paw and clip. Then spin her 180° and repeat. Do it outside and sweep the clippings away.

Sounds like a good plan. I’ll try it in the morning. Never thought of that. She’s a big lover and rolls on her back every time we pet her.

How can you tell how far to go? Also, she’s a big scaredy cat with anything that makes noise.

I think I may take her until her nails are trained and then have them teach me how they do it.
