Yea, I have. That's what I did with Uni when she was a baby and it really worked. Katie will stand it when she is out, or very calm. she let me trim her between toes fur the other day with no drama. But something like nails? eek, naw, I don't think so! Katie's getting good with sitting on my lap for grooming and getting out mats, but still when I get to a bad one and pull too hard she does the "I'ma bite you!" thing.
