Nail Cutting for Pug Can't Post

My pug, Lilo is so scared of nail cutting. I have tried so many ways to cut them and unable to do so. She would "scream" like we are going to kill her or something...

Does anyone have any idea? or know any pet saloon which is good on handling this kinda problem in PJ? I also have read that Pugs are very scared of people touching their paw.

Her nail is too long now.. we always get scratched by her. We have asked an indian guy who is doing pet grooming in my home town to cut her nail, he also couldn't get to cut her nails, and gave up. :s

hmm...i can think of a few ways to overcome this prob but might take time lah...

1. let her run on cement or hard surface. that way her nails will be kept short by all the running

2. since lilo already had bad experience with nail cutting/paw touching, maybe you should start all over again. like, reward her when she is fine with you touching/taking her paw. she'll later realized that good things come when her paws are being touched. then you could procede to cut her nail one by one, rewarding her on each one that is successfully cut..then over time, she should have no prob in nail cutting. Smile

hope this works lah...

Don't do it yourself, sometimes they 'pretend' to shout, but it doens't hurt an inch!
Send them to a groomer, as they are stranger to the groomer, they will be better off.. it won't cost much, and all long nails are gone!

Hi lilo, regarding to your case, i do faced it before! for my pug popeye, he was brave to do everything, he love to take shower! for cutting nail... ya, it's a bit hard, thats' why i asked my friend to hold him, in this time, we have to use "Soft" way to treat him more effective than we use "hard" way you see? ha, finally he let me trim his nail..Hoho~!Tongue

After that i tried to let popeye have it more oftenly so he know that it is not really painful. Be careful when cutting lilo nail, don't cut too much, she will get hurt since popeye have it 1 time. But luckily my popeye give me a new chance to do it next time. After you finish cutting her nail, don't forget to praise her and gve her some rewards!! It's important because she know that she is doing the right thing just now. ok, be patient anyway! Good luck!Laugh
