He He that's funny. All but one of my five is fine and will just let them get snipped. My little one 45 lbs is muzzled.

My moms pug is muzzled, my mom holds his body down and my daughter holds his head in a head lock and the groomer snips. A pug mix.

Do not I mean DO NOT let anyone sedate your dog to clip their nails. Almost everyone clips their dogs nails Nicole I don't know where you get your information from but you not right in your answer at all. I have my groomer do it when she is grooming my dogs, or the vet office will do it for free when they are checking out my dogs.. Or I will do it at home. The best way I found to do it is that I hold my dog while a person is cutting them. They feel safe in my arms so I don't have a problem.

all I have every done is when they are very young pups I would always play with their paws.like when they were laying on my lap or something I would just rub their feet, front and back ones, just to get them used to that feeling.now I just tell them to sit..pick up one paw at a time and clip their nails..for the back ones I have them lay down...and just pick up the rear paws and clip.I don't have to hold them down they just wait until I'm done and then get up and start playing again.

I am a groomer and the best thing for your pet if he/she is that "wiggly" is to let your groomer do it. We charge $8.00, so it is well worth the money to have it done right without you having to struggle with him/her. In some rare cases, the animal does have to go to the vet and be sedated, but only if the animal is highly stressed about having his/her nails trimmed. That eliminates the stress to the animal and ensures that they won't be hurt during the process.
