@ Rebecca.. Knowing this vet clinic for many years taking all of dogs there..Know that they do not use i quote "choke chains" on any of their patients. Every experience i have ever had has been nothing but wonderful. Maybe some more handling your dogs feet at home would be a better solution for you meaning having to sedate for a toe nail trim every owner should have control over there own dog. Or knowing you vet clinic were you take your dog/child getting more research on them would probably make a better solution for you as well.
