Unless you can easily see her cuticle through her nail and bit by bit clip up near it until she begins to draw back paw or tremble, yawn, lick lips, etc., I would avoid trying to clip them as likely the cuticle in each nail has grown out to fairly near the tip so easily cut if you can't see it through a dark nail and it's full of nerve-endings so it's pretty painful & always bloody and very shocking to the dog. Marks many dogs for a lifetime to have a painful nail clip session.
