Default how to cut nails etc

i have a almost 10 week old puppy and it is really hard to determine when to cut her nails. They are black and i can't see the nerves and i am really worried about hurting her. I also want to know how often should it be done. and good tips or anything?

Someone else will probably be able to link to pictures showing how to do it, but if you're worried, take her to a groomer. The socialization from a young age will help her anyway and you won't traumatize her by hitting the quick. I trim puppies' nails once a week, just taking a little off the ends so that they aren't as sharp and get positive interactions being clipped. My adults get their nails done once every two weeks.

Did you use the search tool? Just this last two weeks there were a few threads. Please look around a bit on here. There is hours and hours of info available to you.

I didn't trim Jake, I trained him with a dremel from that age.
