How do your pets handle you cutting their nails?

We have had good success with the pedi-paw for maintenance. However if they get too long I take them to the vet where they clip their nails for $5.00. Holly our Sheltie's nails don't get long at all but for some reason our rat terrier ShayShay's are bad, they grow like weeds.

I would die if I could find someone around her to cut my dogs' nails for $5.

I have a chihuahua Jasmine and I got the Pedi-paw for her and it was WAY too big for her little nails. She is only 4 lbs. So I am staying with the clippers. I can use people clipper on her anyway.

I kept putting off my dog's, because her nails are black, but I finally did it. She just put her head in my lap...it was so cute. :) That was soo easy!

For the others, have you tried treats that they only get when their nails are clipped? I do that for baths. I can call Lizzie, and she'll follow me upstairs into the bathroom and let me shut the door easily, all for a hot dog....and she knows fully well that a hot dog = a bath, because that's the only time she gets something like that.
