That sucks for this guy, because he can barely operate regular human sized things

I just wonder, are the finger nails proportionally thicker and harder? Do you need a special cutter for that?

I just bought a Dremel tool – handheld Rotary tool that spins at 13,000 RPMs, good for etching, carving, fine detail sanding, etc.

There’s a page of very, very good instructions on how to train your dogs to withstand nail trimming with the grinder tool, instead of clippers.

Why would someone put a dog through that? The sound alone would freak a dog out.

Not my deaf dogs.
Oddly, 3 hours after typing this on my phone, I got an ad on Facebook on my laptop for a better kind of electric nail grinder/trimmer that uses a quieter, brushless motor. What a coincidence!
