The puppies are needing their claws clipped every 3 or so days, if they don't have them clipped they grow into sharp little hooks which is damaging for both other puppies and Kumi. I didn't get much clear footage of the claw clipping but I did take a video of me introducing the dremel to the puppies, the earlier we start this the easier it will be when they're adult dogs.
I personally prefer using a dremel over clippers, you don't get the crushing/pinching sensation clippers can give and if you do nip the quick it bleeds much less than it would if you're using clippers. It also enables you to do something called the "Alternative Cut Line" which is used to recede the quick and keep it short. My little Dotty would scream blue murder when it came to nail time, it didn't matter if I did them, if the vet did them or if the groomer did them she hated it to the point I ended up having her sedated to get her claws sorted. Now, although it's still not her favourite thing to do, she will stand and let me use the dremel on her little feet with no issues at all.
We're both dremel converts and we're not the only ones, there's even a facebook group

Below are some more links about dremeling and the video of myself working with the puppies. Once they're a bit older I will do another video for you :)
