We have a major toenail problem with Sahara...even the sight of the clippers and she high-tails it to the other end of the house and hides! The groomer clipped them just fine though

We had it suggested to us to use peanut butter or something equally as yummy to distract while you do it. The other thing too...use the "distraction" and only do one at a time. Do one and then wait and hour or so...soon, he'll get used to the idea that toenails = treats! It doesn't work for our dog but many he will hold still long enough to lick some PB off a spoon while you can clip. Benedryl doesn't calm any of my pups down so it wouldn't affect our end.

Best of luck!!!!
