One of my dogs has long fur that has hidden the fact that her nails have grown too long. My question is...

…what have you found to be the best way to trim your dog’s really long nails?

Bourbon is a smart dog in that she learns very quickly when you are about to do something physical that she doesn’t like, and she also has a tendency to snap at folks trying to groom her, bathe her or examine her.

What are the best tools to use? What other supplies should I have at the ready? What are the best ways to restrain a 60-pound dog? What methods have you found that help your dog stay calm and accept the procedure? Are there any particular pointers about how to get the nails short again without causing copious bleeding from the quick?

We are talking seriously long nails here.
