Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Amber is her name

Hello, I am the proud owner of a 2 year old female basenji named Amber (tan & white). She keeps us busy at times but she is such a pleasure to be with. She is very playful, curious, stubborn, mischievious & affectionate (on her terms) & loves to chase squirrels & rabbits in our fenced in backyard. she doesn't seem to like car rides (anxiety) because she whines but I have been trying to take her on more short rides to adjust her. She also loves playing with other dogs-especially the bigger ones (chasing)…the smaller ones she tends to bully & hipcheck. Otherwise, Amber is our sweetheart who makes us laugh & love her all the more.:p
