Or if you would allow me to come over sometime to watch when you groom yours...

Misty,
I never clip around the anus....I use baby manicure scissors to clip. Now keep in mind, since my dogs are show dogs, I've learned to just go around the anus, taking just enough hair to be sanitary. I don't clip around the toes, only use clippers on the foot pads, if you purchased the Peanut, believe me they are completely safe. Now if you mean making the rounded foot. Here's the way I learned, but I started when they were very young puppies, when they were very, very sleepy and tired, I'd turn them on their backs, gently comb the hair up towards the foot and with manicure scissors, I'd just trim in a circle. Just remember be kind to yourself, you are going to screw up, but the hair grows back, very, very quickly. So just keep on practicing.
