I have tried treating her and telling her good, when trying to cut toe nails. She screams and won't hold still!

Ditto for me with Gidget until I got the Oster Gentle Paws Nail Grinder. I can actually hold her and do it myself although she is wiggly. The first time (last week) I held her and my daughter trimmed her nails. I decided to try it today with no help. I'm sure it will be easier as she gets used to it. The Grinder makes very little noise so it's not loud and scary. Her nails grow SO fast that I had to take her to the groomer several times between appointments just to get her nails trimmed. Now I can do them on a regular basis so she gets used to having them done.
