Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| We had to clip the fur on my husky shepard collie mix and she tried biting our hands off for it, i ended up sitting on the floor with the scissors under my leg and let her relax falling asleep between my legs then i would snip the fur real quick. I only got one paw done at a time sometimes but i would wait a few hours and get her to lay down again and snip some more, or we had to pin her and do it once she wasnt very happy with us but she could walk without falling on the wood floor. We have to clip my sisters pups foot few son i just noticed it is like over an inch long already and shes onlu about 7-8 months and a pit retriever mix, or at least thats what we think she is! |

| We use a little mustache trimmer, just a quick grab and buzz it's done. WAAAY safer than scissors, no risk of a dog jerking their paw and slicing a pad. |

| Trimmer is a great idea. I was thinking of cutting Kye's so snow doesn't get trapped in it but i wasn't sure if it was ok. Also for slipping on tile/hardwood. |

| We also use a trimmer to trim the overgrown fur between pads with small trimmers. Some of our guys tolerate it better than others. The key is consistency and desensitization. Its just like with trimming nails using clippers or a dremel tool. Start off by just messing with paw pads and reinforcing no reaction with praise or treats. 1-5 seconds to start is the key, then you work your way up. After that you introduce the tool. You may only get to touch it to the paw pad or nail area the first few time, but reinforce that its safe, its a good thing. Then move up to trimming one nail or turning the clippers on...again baby steps and lots of praise are the key. It takes some time but eventually you just get this annoyed...ugh, this again look and your done. |
