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
Hi from Indiana

Hello!! We are a family of 3 labradors & then along comes little Mary, a lab Basenji mix. Mary is 6 months old weighs about 28 pounds & is cute as a button. She is a little bundle of fire that does things, usually on HER terms. She was supposed to be a foster pup, till she stole our HEARTS! She is here for the long haul, we just have never had a Basenji before & they are a little different than labs, even a Basenji lab mix! Looking forward to the help & advice! Thanks, Karen & co

Welcome aboard. Look forward to seeing pics of Mary. She sounds like a typical Basenji/Mix. I have a Whippet/Basenji mix and she too is a handful.
