I have the Andi's clipper with cord. If I want long length I would choose a 22 or 25"? correct? have a standard 10" that came with it.
Do you have the standard or medium grit diamagroove boxer? Fantastic video, thank-you!
YES.....I have a story to add. I was inspired after watching all of your videos that getting that top-of-the-line Dremel would be a good investment. It would save time and money and I could get really good at it!! The first time was the last. It has already been packed up for the return trip to AMAZON. BabyDoll is very good under all other circumstances. His first bath worked out fine. But as soon as the Dremel touched his nail he flinched badly. There was no way that I could continue after that reaction. After he gets up-to-date on his shots he will be going to a professional groomer. They told me that they will clip his nails and then polish them. That's what I needed to here. I am happy to pay to have everything done right. Thanks for your expert advice.
Dremel! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 My dogs are terrified by the sound.
After watching this video for the first time I tried the grinder on my lab's nails. She's an excellent client! Your video was so informative. I only did 2 paws and will continue to do more this week. I bought the Casfuy grinder because of it's low noice level, I'm glad I did. It's a 6 speed so I'm still figuring out which speed to use on her. I paid $45 for a grinding trim and thought that I need to learn how to do this. Thank you so much for creating these videos.
Your description of the drill bits is excellent!
That thumbnail..
Thank you. My dogs nails are so long because they hate it and I am scared to quick them 😭
Great instructions!
I just read all of the comments about your tutorial. I have never seen so many adoring comments The Tube should give you a special plaque.....lol
I just watched the entire video again. There is so much good info there that I learned even more....thanks....Tomorrow AMAZON will deliver my Dremel so I will watch it at least one more time before I try anything on BabyDoll.......thanks again.
She's the best....thanks again as usual.........
I Can't believe how fantastic your approach to this subject is. I wish that I would have had JUST ONE teacher like you during my early education.
wow! I enjoyed watching your video. I have a part dane and lab. His nails are black. I did clip his quick. Now is scared when i try to clip them. But the dremel is something I will buy. Thanks
Thank you so much for making this video I have a 3 year old German Shepherd and learning about black nails for the first time so thank you very much for the city I appreciate it and will be doing this for the first time and feeling more confident now after watching this video thank you so much
You’re so welcome. Thanks for watching!
My 9 month old female Rhodesian Ridgeback was very skittish of having her nails trimmed. A groomer we went to (our first) suggested using a muzzle even though there were 3 of us trying to keep her still (she’s 85 lbs). The muzzle seemed to calm her right down as well as protecting us from nips and protecting the dog from trying to sniff too close to the Dremel. Your video has taught me how to trim on my own and we’ve made tons of progress but I still use a muzzle even though my dog is now accustomed to the trimming process. It has an immediate calming effect on her. Hopefully this tip might help someone else who is struggling to keep their dog calm while trimming.
Thank you! My chihuahua has black nails and I’m so worried about hurting her.
I have this black nails vid, hope it’s helpful! kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6uYtLCvg5STmso.htmlsi=eDqqObURzPhzvIPh
Dark nails are worse to take care of.
I do have a black nails video if it’s helpful- kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6uYtLCvg5STmso.htmlsi=eDqqObURzPhzvIPh
I sure do appreciate you & your videos so much😊 Thank you😊
I am so glad i watched this video. When i heard about plucking OF COURSE I thought of plucking eyebrows 1 hair at a time. Thats for the education/knowledge. I will try your technique
Awesome, I really like it. I'm sure Bruno will too.
exactly what i wanted to know, first couple minutes in.. very awesome, thank you!! and yes, Love the Dremel way!!
I've been clipping and dremeling my GSD's thick black nails for his 9-year life and have had good instruction along the way. But yours is the most clear and visually helpful I've seen. Now I understand the quick much better, how to work around it, and a good explanation on holding those outer toes. Thank you. Wish I had found your videos earlier.
Thank you for sharing , I feel better watching you do it for demo ! I feel mor confident in how to approach this task now 🎉🎉❤
I ordered "5F" (7 mm I believe) blade . Thx for linking to this vid ...
You didn't make the video on how each clipper blade leaves a finish on a dog ? Really would like to see that. I bought moser 45 corded clippers but only have 1mm blade and 10mm comb , which is too long for my dog
Here’s what I made to show what each blade length looks like on dogs! kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIF-uNdvmtbepco.htmlsi=EjX4bnT19vzpn7Qk
What brand diamond tip do you use?
White nails are much easier to trim than black nails.
My black lab service dog does well with medium, but will give coarse a go. Thanks! Update: He tolerated the coarse, but could tell he didn’t like it at all. May be better if his nails were longer to begin with 😊
Blessings, John 3:16. Jesus loves you.
Where is your store located? I have been trying to recede my dogs' quick but hasn't been able to produce meaningful results. I might have to bring them to you.
Holy crap, absolutely fantastic run down of bits! I'm amazed at how expensive some of these are. Thanks for doing all of this research!
So easy! If your dog isn't a scaredy cat! 🤣
Fantastic video!!!
I recently splurged on a Diamagroove Pinnacle. Unfortunately, I am not able to find a grinder that works with it. The grinders that you recommend are no longer available. I tried the Hyper Tough but apparently it’s a new model and I could not make it work with the Diamagroove. Do you have recommendations for other grinders that fit a Diamagroove? Thanks.
I really needed this video! This has been an ongoing issue with us, and I thought I was being nutty thinking that those outer nails are always longer. As soon as her nails have any ground pressure on them our dog incessantly licks until she gets an infection. Hates having her nails done but also hates when her nails are too long. 🙄
So glad this one was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Now only if I could get my dog to stop pulling his legs away from me. The only way I can get him to stay in place is to smear peanut butter on a paper plate and tape it to the floor 😅
Any tips for dogs with black nails?
Best info on nail trimming on YT - thank you for taking the time to put this info on the interweb.
Thank you!!
Best Dremel demonstration ever! THANKYOU! I have a big dog with black nails. I've been so afraid of hitting quick and they grow fast so they are too long. How do I work them shorter? What does it look like when I get close to black quick?
Here are 3 videos I’ll have you start with to hopefully help answer these questions- black nails vid: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6uYtLCvg5STmso.htmlsi=CThUuWXd-IChrLu_ How to recede the quicks (with demo): kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y5eml5SGmcnSg7A.htmlsi=xZpHQPz2BElHzpre and finally Shaping the nails: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6h4sMxyZdKqnJM.htmlsi=Tcq6FFPhQB8zop16 feel free to comment again if you still have questions after watching those!
You have the best learning and information videos. You explain and demonstrate clearly. THANKYOU!
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!!
I don't understand.. You say to use a 30 or 40 blade but a 10 is more risky as it may cut the ear? Are not the 30, 40 much closer to skin and would cut more easily than a 10? What am I missing?
Thank you
I finally found a slighter better video describing how the blade actually trims, i.e. the trick having to do with placement for longer hair. Yet, I am still confused as even with all the clips in place, it appears that the actual cutting part is really still in the same spot so hence no matter what it would still cut at that length. Is there a video showing a close up of I e. Fake fur and how the hair cuts I e. .5 m. Versus 1 inch? I'm scared to use the clips on my dog and press it completely against his skin as I only want to trim a mm or so and not trim off any of his under coat. I'd love an up close view of how these clip ons really work in cutting or trimming a coat. Is this possible? Thanks!!
It's WWIII trying to clip my dog's nails. They were long at the shelter because she was so uncooperative and they didn't want to fight with her. Even calming supplements or medication didn't work. We trim once a month and she's pretty spicy. But now that she's older, I'm going to have to increase the frequency.
I got a dog with a very mixed coat. Head like a mop and bald in other areas. I shaved the lot down to one length to get an overall tidiness and to treat some wounds then again with a comb to level up when it had grown a bit. Once it’s all thick and re-established, I’m keeping her short. And I’m doing it myself. To hell with the trendy thing. I have a slicker brush which she HATES. I HAD A GO WITH IT ON MY HEAD AND I UNDERSTAND WHY.
Better still, shave a dog and subtitle blade and comb…😬
What nail clippers would you recommend?
Honestly someone needs to make a video on training your dog to have its nails filed, because this is hugely difficult for some dog owners. I can't even get my dog to stay in the same room when the dremel is running. I got one burp on one of her nails, basically touched it for a second on low speed and she yanked her paw away and growled (which is a never before in history) and now its pretty much impossible. I have a Wahl 2 which I'm keeping for other use..... but I may have to surrender on the nail filing altogether :(
@c.rutherford it's all about creating positive associations with the behavior you want. I'd start by just having the dremel visible to her (but at a distance), and reward her for seeing it and not reacting. She will start to associate the dremel with getting treats. Then move up to asking her to sniff it. Don't force it - let her get comfortable, and reward her each time. Eventually you'll have to move up to turning it on. Since it's noisy, start with it at a distance...turn it on and back off, and give her a treat. Just keep working on each new phase until she's comfortable.
People be stupid 😂
