no sorry but eager to see if anyone else does as my dog has become a pain to trim as well cause I got him by mistake a while ago(being impaitent and wanting to do it quickly and by myself) I find it's easier if I have my partner holding him and patting him while I tinker on his nails but it's still a mission hehe

Be very careful trimming your dog's nails because you could make them bleed if you cut into the wick part of the nail, which is next to their blood supply. You can buy special nail clippers at a petstore. Inspect their nails and make sure you cut far from where the nail has some pinkish red which is where the blood is. They'll yelp loudly if you nick or get too close to the area and become phobics if you traumatize them from the experience. They also sell astiptik powders to make the bleeding stop.

Do a google search or ask a groomer to show you how to clip the nails in person so you don't make any bad mistakes. Good luck.
