My CC won't let me cut her nails,she hisses & tries to bite me.

Any sugestions how to get the job done ?


My Sammy used to be the WORST when it came to mani-pedis. I never finished
with less than 4 or 5 slashes and a couple of bites - most of the time
requiring antibiotics. Trying to tackle the Samazon was like messing with a
lion - that girl is BIG
(http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnip...7/100_0087.jpg - that's her
on the right and my "normal-sized" Jessie on the left).

Then I just stopped fighting her. I'd sit her in my lap and cuddle her and
praise her and say the word "treats" a lot. Crooning, "Sammy's mommy's GOOD
girlie and she's going to get some TREATS!" - while clipping just ONE nail.
After that she got lots of treats and praises. Kept that up for about a
month and slowly went to two nails clipped. Lather, rinse, repeat. Half a
year later and as soon as she hears the words treats she comes running into
the room to get her mani-pedi.

Take you time and have a lot of patience and she'll come around eventually.

Hugs,
