I am going to write the book on nail trimming. I figured out a way to do it after struggling for almost a year.
1. Bring you dog for a walk outside on the sidewalk to keep them from growing as much and so they file down.
2. Cut their nails while you're standing. Hold them in one arm w/ them facing outward and use clippers in the other hand to clip quickly. They won't be able to fidget as much (well at least Stewie doesn't) because they'll be afraid of getting dropped. I hope that doesn't sound cruel. Now Stewie knows that the sooner he cooperates, the sooner I will leave him alone and put him down. I also give LOTS of treats when I'm done if he has behaved.
