I've tried every hold imaginable. Laying pup on their back, one person holding and one clipping, clipping while their distracted in tub, bending leg back out of line of sight, holding against chest, praise and treats, tried the nail files.... I'm just so frustrated and feel like I'm hurting them.
I don't want to take them to the groomers just for nails either. If they're not cooperative with me, I can't even imagine how they'd be with a stranger.
My vet tried to help me last time... that was an ordeal... yikes!
I'm torn with trying that because I am worried about stability/safety. Hopefully someone will have some experience with it.
