Hi Everyone,
I am having the most IMPOSSIBLE time trying to clip Sadies nails. She is ridiculous. The last time I tried, I had to go back to the breeder for help because she squirms and bites and freaks out. So the breeder was successful (after about 30 minutes of Sadie freaking out, she FINALLY let her do it). I've been trying the past week now to clip them again and she turns completly psychotic. She bites me, scratches me, squirms, tries to jump off my lap, bangs her head on me, growls, its ridiculous. Even if I pin her down she still manages to get her paw away from me and I'm scared that I'll hurt her if I hold her down any stronger, or she'll hurt herself from the way she throws herself around and tries to get away. She almost made me want to cry today because she is SO impossible when it comes to clipping her nails, and yet so good with everything else. I've always done my cat and my rabbits, but this just isnt working. and its making me VERY frustrated.

ANY tips at all would be awesome.
Thanks guys
