How to really trim a dog's nails using a dremel

In this video a groomer with over 18 years experience will you how to really cut a dogs nails using a dremel. My goal is to give informative videos that really help people.I highly recommend using a battery operated dremel as it is much more safer as I explain in the video. With a dremel it is harder to cut the nails to the point where they bleed. A corded dremel is too powerful, can get too hot and if you get it caught in the animals hair it can actually fly out of your hands and injure the animal. The battery operated dremel I use will automatically shut off if it gets stuck in a dogs hair. Make sure you anchor your hand by applying pressure on the other hand. This way if the dog moves his foot your hands and the dremel move with it. If the dog wont hold still, push your hand down on the table to anchor it. In other words your are holding the dogs foot while pushing both hands together and also pushing your hands down on the table or ground. I should have demonstrated this and plan to an a video soon where the dog is not as cooperative . Also do not pull on the dogs arm too hard as you can injure them, especially with small breeds.A dremel will also give the nails a much smoother feel so they don't actually feel sharper than before you cut them as with typical nail clippers. Although with a dremel it is harder to make the nails bleed it is still possible. If you do make them bleed, use some kwickstop. If you don't have any (you really should) you can use cornstarch or take a match (wooden ones work best) light it then blow it out and press it against the nail for about 1/2 a second. Although this last method sounds cruel I have seen very few dogs complain when I use a cauterizer which was designed for use on dogs nails and is not much different in application, as long as your quick about it.
