Dremeling Akita's Nails (6 1/2 years old)
Kumason likes when I dremel his nails. He is very food motivated so putting cream cheese inside his bone works well. I started dremeling Kumason's nails when he was about 12 weeks old. It was not so easy at first as he was very scared of the dremel. With patience, perseverance and a high value treat, he gradually learned to enjoy and look forward to his pedicures.
