please please help me with this! it's so hard for me to cut my dogs nails because they're so terrified of the nail clippers. every time i bring out the nail clippers they both run and hide, but when i do try to attempt to cut their nails they both wiggle, kick, or cry. is there a way that i can train them to be calmer? or at least show them not to be scared of the nail clippers?

oh yeah, it's not just the nail clipper they fear, its also when i touch their feet and paws. every time i hold them, and play with their paws, they wiggle away or kick my hands away. does anyone have any tips about that? or anyone out there can relate with me?
