I think everyone has great suggestions. My dogs do not like their feet touched either (in the begining). I do the same as another poster, after bath I wrap my guys in a towel (my cooper actually falls asleep this way), then I trim the nails one foot at a time. I also start out at a young age taking for grooming apointments, even if just a bath to start the process. I would begin just lightly rubbing the foot while your baby is relaxing with you, kinda a message...Just work with it and it will get better. Trimming a dogs nails is no different then trimming our own..
