I was having the same problem with yollie , my word talk about a battle, and im the one scared up..lol..but I read where if you put them up on a cabinet or higher place it would help in grooming..wow you woulnt belive the difference, I was finally able to do her nails last night and grooming has taken on a whole new light..she sits and stays still the whole time im grooming her..Its amazing..I dont know what it is but it works like a charm..
