If your puppy is frightened by the noise of the trimmer, try turning on a blow-dryer and putting it close to the puppy but not blowing on it. Most will pay attention to the dryer and forget about what you are doing! This will work for most ears.
If the ear is still not standing, cut a piece of brown grocery sack to fit the inside of the ear - about 1/8" smaller than the ear. Attached to the ear with eyelash glue. Apply glue to sack - let dry for a few seconds and then apply to the ear. Hold in place for about a minute. This will usually stay on for about 3 to 5 days and will then just fall off. If you need to remove - just thoroughly wet the sack and it will easily peel off.
Good luck.

Great idea with the blow-dryer. Mine always hate the noise from the trimmers so I end up just cutting very close with the scissors. I think I'll try the blow dryer next time - sounds so much easier and faster
