Bath time and nail trimming tips?

Hey there my name is Amanda and I have been a dog groomer for 3 years. As far as the bath goes, you may want to try bathing her outside and see if she does better. Some dogs just don't like being confined to a small room or bathtub. You should also try feeding her treats while you are bathing her so that she learns that bath time is supposed to be a fun time. You should also use a hypoallergenic shampoo until you can fully rinse her after the bath so that she is less irritated. For her nails you should handle her feet more and feed her treats as you handle her feet so she gets used to it. I wouldn't recommend the Pedi Paws because it is really loud and a lot of dogs are afraid of the noise. I use just a regular Dremel tool at work because its a lot more powerful so the job can get done faster and it is not as loud so most dogs aren't afraid of it. I hope this helps!
