I do all of the grooming for my dog, myself (ears, teeth, bath, brushing, etc.), but she won't let me clip her nails. She pulls her feet out of my hand and bites my hand, not hard, but to the point where it's impossible. I even tried having someone hold her down for me, but she wiggles her way out.

Any suggestions?

Yes, do it without force.

I have been thinking about getting this. I have seen it on the T.V. and really interested in finding out if anyone has tried it. My dog will let me trim her nails but I would like to trim them shorter. I don't think I trim them short enough because I don't want to hurt her but it looks like this Peticure Trimmer will go shorter without hurting.

info. on malti poos and shih tzus. for anyone that has either of those dogs. or referance pleasee?

My Toy Fox Terrier also will not let us trim her nails. She too will squirm, bite, etc. but when we take her to a pro she is fine-she'll let the "stranger" clip them- no problem. So she will let a stranger but not us. I was alo interested in the Peticure tool. Please post if anyone has tried it!
Thanks

As a former do groomer I would NOT recommend buying that thing they advertise on TV total CRAP. and I wold NOT recommend taking your dog to a professional because they become frustrated with high anxiety cases and cause more stress resulting in a worse time the next time. The best thing to do to start getting her/him used to her feet being touched is just playing with her feet and giving her tasty treats, just do this once or twice daily to get them used to it. if they struggle stop and let them calm down. be sure to spread their toes, just pretend you are giving them a foot massage while giving them treats. let them know that their isn't anything to worry about. Dogs feet are VERY ticklish and majority of the time they squirm because they haven't been socialized to their feet being touched and so this is something you will need to start with. Also consult with your vet about the situation, they would know best. If anything take your dog to the vet to get them clipped and not the groomers..
I hope this helped
