I'm buying one today. We'll see how it works. My Yorkie is the worst dog during nail clipping, and I've clipped dozens of dogs nails I pet sit for, as well as seen even the WORST dogs come into the vet (with a muzzle and need 3 people to hold down, I laugh since they are about the same as my dog). It's a good thing he is small otherwise he'd have to be sedated. He makes a high pitched screem constantly and I have to cover him with a towel, put my leg over his head and my other one on his back. Then I have to hold his stomach with my arm and his paw with my hand, and my free hand can cut his nails.

I tried filing and he still whined. The only thing he didn't mind was filing his nail on the sidewalk. It actually filed quite quickly too!!
