Hi kaywoman68, I can endorse all of the positive comments the other respondents have made. My recommendation is to buy the OZITO rotary tool from Bunnings for around $40. This tool has a variable speed selector, flexible attachment, numerous accessories and comes with a 3 year replacement warranty. We have a Norfolk Terrier and find that the lowest speed setting is ideal to take small amounts off his nails on a weekly basis. He is still getting used to process but is far more receptive to this method of having his nails trimmed than he ever was with the clippers approach, and it is much less stressful for us knowing that we aren't causing him any pain. The only thing to be aware of is that you must not try to take too much off any one nail at once because the friction of the sanding drum against the nail will cause the nail to get quite hot and hurt your dog. We apply the sanding drum for only 3-4 seconds at a time before moving on to the next nail. Sometimes we make two passes over all of the nails to achieve the desired result.
