First off, welcome to Pet Talk! I'm sure you will enjoy it here. Do you have any pics of your Min Pin? Is the name Sancha?

I clip nails almost every day at work. I've never used the human clippers on them. Actually, on a small dog like that, I normally use cat clippers! It's much easier to judge w/ smaller clippers on such tiny nails. Make sure you clip them often to get the dog used to it.....most of the dogs that freak out about it are small dogs....lol Also, it'd be a good idea to get some "Quick-stop" so if you accidentally cut down to the quick (make it bleed) you can fix it up fast!
