Free pets tip: Two or three nails per session until this is boring (step 11 of 14 from "Nail Trim Without a Wrestling Match").
A full set is 18 nails on a typical dog (16 plus dewclaws) if you count them. You will not do 18 on week two. Two or three nails, then a walk, then maybe the other side tomorrow. Once they eat through a session like it is trick training, you can do one paw. Floor click gone is a month, not a sitting.
Mark which nails in a phone note: FL1 FL2, etc. Skipping around so you 'even them up' is how you lose count and recut a short one. If one nail is split or growing into the pad, that single nail can be the whole session — and if it is already infected or bleeding, that is the vet, not you and a Dremel.
