Free pets tip: Sit together, paw in your palm, wrist not cranked (step 9 of 14 from "Nail Trim Without a Wrestling Match").
Dog standing or sitting on a non-slip mat, your back against a sofa so they cannot reverse into a void. Lift the paw, support the toe you are cutting with your thumb on the pad side so the nail is still, not twisted. You should see the nail from the side. If you need a second person, that person feeds, they do not lie on the dog.
A fighting animal does not get a tighter hug. You put the tool down, toss a handful of treats away, and end. Cats: one paw out of a loose towel, head free, lick mat. If you are sweating and they are whale-eyed, you already lost. There is no prize for finishing all four feet tonight.
