I wish I was brave enough to do this! I usually just let the groomer take care of them when my Yorkies are groomed. Their nails are black so it is hard for me to tell if I am cutting too close. I worked at a vet for almost a year as the receptionist and they wanted me to learn how to at least cut nails so if they got behind in the back, I could just take care of it. I HATED it. I never felt comfortable or confident in doing it. I was so scared and nervous! I got too close once and made a poor doggie bleed a little and cry and yelp. I felt terrible and felt like crying too! I hate hurting any animal even if it is not intentional! I brake and swerve for squirrels!
