I am going to take a shot in the dark but here is my opinion.
You said that you had never seen this particular vet in the past. Maybe it is his preference to have the dogs taken to the back for things like nail trimming and the techs were only following HIS protocol. I would have to agree that it is very easy to hit the quick and yes painful just like cutting your nails too short. The quick will bleed but sometimes it will not bleed immediately.
I really feel bad that you had a bad experience with your baby but if this was the first time I think you should try to put it behind you. I'm guessing on this as well but maybe the reason that he was afraid of the vet was what had happened when they trimmed his nails.
Neutering is a very important part of owning a pet and should be done for their overall health. If you were not satisfied with your vet visit then my suggestion would be that you only made further appointments with the vet that you feel MOST comfortable seeing. If he is not available do not settle for anyone else. It is your choice as to whom you see and trust your little one to and you are not obliged to just settle for less than you expect for his care.
