When I first got my puppy I bought all the necessary STUFF, leash, collar, bowl and nail clippers. Well everything was used except (guess what?) The clippers! I could not get near my dog with them, he just did not like it and of course I got too nervous to try.
I have this memory now of the vet's assistant being dragged through the doors of the clinic by my dog after a nail clipping, she was sweating and close to tears, my dog was desperate to get out of there, it was traumatic for them both.
Then my neighbor introduced me to the Clip Skip and so I tried it that same afternoon. At first it was not going very well so I did not push the issue but kept going back to him and eventually he realized this was not going to hurt. So he lay there quite calmly and let me file his nails, AMAZING! The trust had been established and I felt more bonded with him than ever.
So no more worries and no more trauma, I highly recommend this tool.
Sincerely,
Phyllis
