I have a two year old that totally hates her nails trimmed. She is front declawed so I only have to do the back ones. I have tried wrapping her in a towel and she twists so bad you would think she was gonna break her back. I have started to daily touching and pressing on her paws to get her comfortable with me touching them. But she seems to know as soon as those clippers are even close. I have never hurt her when I do manage to trim them so I don't know why she has such extreme fear. I have another female that just sits and lets me do hers with no trouble. Any suggestions, please I can't let these nails get to long and would hate to have to run her into a vet or groomer becuase they grow so quickly.
