Can you file down a rooster's spurs?

I am just wondering if I can file down my rooster's spurs so they are not so sharp? He's pretty friendly, but in the morning he sometimes gets feisty and I don't wanto to get spurred when summer comes.

Yes, we have used a Dremel tool to blunt the spurs. Just be sure to have someone hold him firmly when you do in case he's freaked out by the sound of the motor. You can also use a file.
