blair is the same way, the vet reccomended a traqualizer but if the dog really wants to they can easily ignore then stuff, you cant get anywhere near blairs nails, we has tried the peanut butter trick that worked for all my other dogs, but not blair, the most we have ever managed to cut was 6 nails, and that require 3 people, a blanket, a pillow, and 1 hour. his nails need cut badly but a groomer will have the same problem and we dont want him to accedetly get hurt, not to mention a groomer costs money that we just dont have right now. his nails are not overly bad yet just sharp.
