I have been cutting the girls nails since the day I brought them home and they STILL hate it,...I don't know if it's the "snap" sound it makes when you cut them or if it just feels funny to them...I really don't think it hurts them...Anyway....I usually put about 3 inches of water in the sink when bathing them so their nails are soaking in it...I shampoo and condition them...Then I cut the nails...They soften up a bit from soaking...this does help...However..they still aren't crazy about it. I just keep telling them they are a good good girl...and they will be getting a treat...Sometimes they aren't too bad...other times I can't finish because they keep pulling away.
You could always have your vet do it...sometimes they are better for someone else if you aren't around.
Good Luck!
