Your dogs look great for a first try at grooming. Your very courageous

What I need to know...because I am about to bring home an 8 week old puppy on Saturday..is how do you get your dogs to sit still and accept the brushing, nail clipping etc?
My previous dog, Bentley, was a very sweet little guy.....but needed to be given medication in order to slow him down to work on his coat. When it came to nail trimming I had to take him to a pro because he would never allow me to get near his nails with a clipper in my hands.
