For maintenance, cut every two weeks. To shorten, cut every week. Once the insensitive nail is thinned out and isn't supporting the quick, the quick will dry up and recede. This will allow you to cut your dog's nails even shorter.
Dos it hell aslike.. If deep yes will hurt. And blead lots. You are not supose to cut deep. Nipping the end off is OK. If you keep nails down the quick won't keep growing.. ?
Cos the dogs soft as shit. Or you've cut too bloody far. There is a safety gaurd on dog nail clippers. Use it. If you cut again the same nail. Be carefull.. ? they will be raw and sore but no nerve ending there... Don't cut too far. Its just trim off not a cut off.. I never cut my bedlingtons back claws cos she drives of them. Only her fronts get long and I just snip ends off. Mainly front two.
Yeh it don't hurt em. And they usually lick it dry and it stops beading in minutes.. If its cut short it never grows with nail again. However a running dog should have longish claws all said and done..
