Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I put and old steak knife with a wooden handle on the stove burner until red hot towards the pointed end about 1 inch... I have a sharp kitchen knife and a cutting board on the bar by the stove... I also have a tube of antibiotic ointment then I grab a pup and squeeze the tail on the side of the pup that won't be cut off...this I do to keep the pup from bleeding I set the pup on the cutting board and 1 stroke down and forward and the tail is cut off... I then cauterize the pups tail so it will not bleed with the old steak knife...only do it for a few seconds...been using the same steak knife for more than a few years... rub ointment on tail... repeat the process with the other pups... |

Castration band requires no ointment, no bleeding, carterizing. Just slip it where u want it, release the tool n slip the band off the tool prongs.

What's the oldest you can cut your own dogs tail? I got a dog that wags his tail so hard the tip stay cut and when he wags it he flings blood everywhere. I took him out of his kennel and chained him up and it still cut.

Is there a benefit to docking tails or is this done just for looks?

lol you boys make too much work out of it . just snip the tail where you want it at 3 days old and throw them back in the box . momma will do the rest . there is hardly any feeling or bleeding at this age . heck they don't even yelp. I do the dew claws at the same time .
