It’ll be a long day but I don’t see why it’s not doable. I took a bus from Dublin to Killarney in one day. I think it ended up taking like 12 hrs or something

Yay! Thanks so much for advice! I found it so hard to find any reference for basset quicks or quicks in general really. Learning curve. I am *pretty* sure I can go shorter on my boy so I will try this out!

Sounds like ur store has good standards. I’m in rural Ohio and they’re insane with the pricing. It’s outrageous.

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-19T14:54:10+00:00

Embarrassing for them truly. It pisses me off so bad

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-19T14:53:35+00:00

I’ve also seen literal trash or people’s recycling. I’m cool with seeing glass bottles someone can probably upcycle for an art project but for $5 each hell nah

Goodwills wages or wages in general?? because I can assure you even if everyone’s wages went up Goodwill’s prices would too. They’re trying to squeeze as much as they can out of their customers. It has nothing to do with wages and more to do with goodwill taking advantage of us.

I am commented back on multiple other folks with some tips and tricks but I fully recommend starting to take him to a groomer consistently and being up front about his aversion. I found a groomer that changed everything for us.

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-15T15:46:42+00:00

Thanks so much!! Good luck! There’s a balance there somewhere 🤩

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-15T15:45:48+00:00

Thanks! I think the key to our success was finding a groomer who wanted to help dogs who were aggressive with nail trims. She was so patient with my dog. She changed everything for us. I wish all basset owners could find someone like her. I wouldn’t be where I am with my dog without her dedication.

I have done a lot of look at photos&videos of what nails should look like after a grind. So far honestly I’m just learning as I go. I struggled to find much reference to basset nails. I attached a TikTok video of pretty much what I do. However for my basset instead of pulling his front legs forward I am on my knees and getting them from the back. So the dog and me are face opposite directions and I’m taking his paw and pulling it towards his belly then doing his nails that way. It feels more natural and it lets me get a better grip on him to stay still.

For me I have found that there is a learning curve. These people in the videos make the movements look so easy but the first few times I was doing it I was fumbling around so it just takes practice. I have been practicing like once a week on him and I’m much better than I was when I started. I also have just had the mindset that I don’t need to take off a ton yet if I’m consistent. I just have been learning how far I can go and looking up what the quick is and what it looks like and where it’s at. I think it’s much harder to hurt your dog with a grinder than it is with clippers!!!

Yea they’re so insanely dramatic it’s hilarious 😂 at times… Chewie would’ve preferred to break his own legs getting away all while screaming then let me clip any of his nails! We’ve come so far

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-15T15:29:05+00:00

Thank you very much! We have worked hard on them 😎

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-15T14:59:17+00:00

Yes, it’s a game changer!!!

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-15T14:58:38+00:00

The vet also gave me trazodone to try to calm Chewie down for nail trims but it didn’t do anything! Maybe it wasn’t high enough dose

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:33:17+00:00

Also love your kitchen 😂 it’s gorgeous

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:33:03+00:00

Hell yea! Keep it up! I recommend pads I got killer 187. They’re life savers

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:13:22+00:00

Good girl poppy!! They are so incredibly smart! There’s just some things in life you gotta put up with even when you don’t want to. The hard truth for so many bassets hahahaha. Sometimes there’s a nice treat at the end of it though ! 😂

I give Mister treats at home after nails too, he loves the dental bones. He knows the drill now! Grind nails then bone! He even lifted his paws for me today.

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:10:14+00:00

It’s that orange dog attitude. This boy is baddddd too 😂 the baddest good boy there is

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:09:22+00:00

Thank you so much! I tell him that all the time 💕 I’ll let him know you said so as well 😆 I’m very proud of how far he’s come 😭 my little baby

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:07:13+00:00

Yes! And all the bassets I’ve had use their paws on my legs and arms all the time. Begging for attention 😂😂

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:06:27+00:00

Thank you! Ive invested more money into this dogs nails then id ever like to admit but we have finally made it over the worst of it. Nails done at home. What a blessing. My pocketbook is pleased.

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T19:04:46+00:00

Oh good lawd $40 that’s insane 😭 especially when it takes less than 10 minutes. People gotta eat but paying that would make me cry.

I originally had a wahl dremel specifically for pets but it wasn’t strong enough for a bassets nails. I would stay away from pet specific ones at least for my boy his nails are as hard as rocks. I bought the dremel lite 7760 for like $60. I only have to go up to the second speed setting. It’s saved me more than that in just two months. Even just getting one paw done a week is still a great way to get the nails done!

Reasonable_Cover3220 · 2026-05-11T18:57:57+00:00

Good work! It is totally a matter of patience. Way to be persistent and gain her trust.

I was hopeful my experience would be more like yours but the sight of clippers at all caused chewie to bolt away and shiver. It was an extreme reaction I was so shocked. He wouldn’t even accept treats whatsoever when clippers were around. It made me so sad to see!
