How do your pets handle you cutting their nails?

We use a dremel tool on one of our dogs and she doesn't mind it a bit. The other dog, well, she's a wuss and we have to take her to the vet to get her nails trimmed.

I have to say...I have two dogs...one mini dachshund (3.5 years) and a german shepard/black lab mix (10 years). Since we have had the mini doxie we have always just put her on our lap on her back and she just sits with her paws up and our older dog, my husband has her lie down and he just rolls her over. We have started with our dogs and trimming their nails since they were puppies. They are used to it. We tried the Pedi Paws and especially with our little one (who is afraid of power tools), it just didn't do the same job...they would squirm. You can always try giving the dog praise after each paw until he/she gets used to it...
