I took mine by the groomers today and she let me watch while she used a very small dremel on them, it was quick and painless. My dh and I had clipped them before and while it was pretty easy, we did it the quick a tiny bit on one. It was just a small, one drop of blood, but enough to put me off of doing that again. My groomer actually gave me a peticure or whatever that machine is called. She said that they don't work on large breeds but for small dogs especially yorkie puppies, the nails are small enough that just a couple of swipes will keep them filed down and I'll never have to worry about clipping.
She just tucked puppy under her arm, blew in her face, kissed her a few times and talked while she quickly did each foot. Magic in moments. She said a nail file will work as well. Or maybe your dh has a small dremel. You might if you are a crafter. She charged $5. The vet was going to charge $15 for clipping....NOT.
