Clipping their nails affecting our relationship..? - 05/29/08 09:26 PM
I was clipping my girls' nails today, and Dakota, my little sweetie pie, crabbed at me. It has been the first time in a few months I she's crabbed at me. I clip their nails about every week to every other week, and she's never done that. She even tried to bite me, and that shocked me.
I was wondering if clipping their nails will affect our relationship.
I hold them in a pouch and bring out one of their paws, then clip their nails that way. I support the whole pouch so they're not supporting all of that weight with one of their limbs.
I have never brought the blood on either of them.
Is it just because they don't like feeling restrained like that? If it is affecting our bond, how else can I clip their nails myself?
