Getting his nails grinded. He's always so easy going and tolerant of like, everything, but this he hated.

He was stressed out and barking and pulling away. He wasn't biting or anything, but they muzzled him, then had another person hold him, and finally he gave up and was just staring at me totally defeated looking the whole time.

****ty picture:

Why did they grind? Clipping is so much faster and there is no noise to add to the anxiety. Harper hates clippings but if I'm quick I can usually get a paw done before he gets too antsy and I give up.

My daughter is so great with the animal nails. Big dogs, cats, it doesn't matter. She is real good at positioning herself so the animal can't move and its done in a minute. She doesn't grind them she has real nice sharp clippers.

The cats are crazy.

Eh, they recommended grinding. Probably cause it cost more.

Yeah... I've seen those things in action. A grinder would trip Harper right the f out.

He probably hates the vibration and noise.

Wash pretty much hates everything at the groomer, he pouts every time he has to go for days afterwards.

I don't think I'll do the grinding anymore. He was so sad.

You have to train them to accept the grinding. I grind my dogs nails down, she lays on her side quietly till I am finished then hops up for her treat. Grinding is supposed to be easier on them as it doesn't pinch the nail like cutting does. I like it because it gives a nice round nail with no sharp points to scratch.
