But this seems to be a behavioral thing rather than an issue with the tool/tool quality. Train your dog to let you trim its nails, and then dremel them. This is part of basic dog handling. If you decide you'd rather pay someone else to do it, fine, but the responsibility for training your dog to the task falls to you as its owner.

NP but I have seen that this is a doodle trait.

I cut and handle my doodles paws every day since she was a tiny puppy and cutting nails is a battle ever single time.

I use a dremel. He doesn't like it, but he tolerates it.

My sweet golden doodle has sensitive paws and strongly dislikes anyone touching his paws especially when he is licking due to allergies and such.
Looking for canine-friendly nail clippers I can bring to the groomers to decrease the discomfort of getting his nails clipped.

I am researching options online and wanted to reach out if anyone has any experience with a certain brand that lessens discomfort for your dog.

Thank you!
