 woofit and chi now have a dremel. it is cordless and has two speeds. it
 comes with a collet on it and some accessories. can you use the collet
 alone? what should we ideally use for their nails. this is a lot more
 complicated than i thought it would be. their groomer just grinds!
 thanks

RESPONSE:
Andrea and others interested in using a dremel on your dogs' nails, go to
 http://homepages.udayton.edu/~merenski/doberdawn/index.html

A friend who wanted me to show her how to dremel her dog's nails happened on
this website, and it has everything you ever wanted to know about why, how,
and when to do this.  She gives some excellent advice on how to start doing
this -- which I wish I had known about before I started doing my dogs.

After my big blowup with Major a couple of months ago over dremeling his
nails, I've taken the advice of several people on this list and Major and I
have come to a good compromise.  He allows me to do two nails a night, 2 or
3 times a week, without a problem.  I wanted to do four, he wanted me to do
NONE, I promised more treats, and he agreed to two.  And he's been a very
good boy about it, tolerating it quietly without fighting.  He does quickly
remind me if I try to sneak in a third, so I think this is going to be our
routine.  I do like my rechargeable battery-operated dremel, as it is much
quieter than the electric models, and very convenient to use.

 Use the sanding bands, kinda like an emery board .. the grinding stones
get
 too hot and use the low speed.

 Here is a great site on dremeling dog nails, great detail with pictures.
