| [*]How often do you trim your Doberman's nails and how do you do them? (nail clippers, Dremel tool) If you use the Dremel, how did you get them used to it? (treats, corner them, etc) Any particle attachment and tool speed you like to use? What kind of problems did you have if any? Do you use a grooming table?
I clip kings nails weekly with a pair of high end clippers. I had a cheap pair at first, but they just sent the nails flying everywhere. Then i bought a high end pair, which is an acutal blade, and it just sheers it off and drops to the floor.
[*]How often do you clean your Dobermans ears, if so, what do you use?
Kings ears actually dont require cleaning very often. I check them every other day, and if they need cleaning, i clean them. usually i dont do it more than once a month though.
[*]How often do you clean your Dobermans teeth? What do you use and how do you do it?
Well, when i first got him, i brushed his teeth daily. But over time, he grew to fight it because he didnt like the tooth brush. So, today I went out and bought some brushes that slip over my finger, and he seems to like it that way much better.
[*]How often do you give them baths? How do you give the bath? What do you do between baths (i.e.: brush, wipe down, etc.)?[/list][/quote]
Weekly, or more often if needed. He likes to play in the mud, so if he gets really dirty, i throw him in the shower and rinse him off with warm water. I only use soap once a week though. Its actually meant to help his skin...but it doesnt. |
