It is no secret that most animals do not enjoy their nails being cut, they don't even typically enjoy their feet being touched. My goal is to get them comfortable enough with me that they will not think I'm going to cut their toe off every time I trim their nails. I tailor each nail trim to the pet. Some would rather sit still for 1 minute, be done, and get rewarded. Others, need slow introduction to the process with excess rewards through the entire nail trim. Most pets feel most comfortable in your arms, a few, however, do better when I hold and trim. I am a flexible as I need to be and positive through the whole experience.
To be honest, if someone just came up to me and started clipping my nails, I would probably lose my mind. I don't blame them for being weary or cautious. I work hard to gain their trust, and yours, every minute I'm there.
I love what I do. I love hearing the difference the trim makes on the floor. They may not understand what's going on at first, but they usually realize it's for the better after I'm done.
