Thanks, Mike for posting on "How to Dremel a Dog's Nails" on the thread "Is There a Better Way?" When we got Bubba, he had been shown as a pup, and was used to the Dremel so no problems, and we just easily buzzed his nails off.
Bogie, however, is another story. He's scared of the Dremel noise, so it was nice to read her procedure of how to get a dog used to the noise. We've been running it, but he pants, starts trotting, and heads to another room and paces when he hears the noise. Same way with the vacuum cleaner. Thankfully he is OK with clipping of the nails, but we know they will get tougher and harder to clip as he gets older.

Same with Toughy any electric motor whine. That is all part of habituating a puppy early on (first 12 weeks) You can lessen the fear latter in life but it is much harder and may never get rid of it totally. For me and I quess in bogies case since there is not a problem with the clippers never saw much use in trying to desensitize to the dremel.
