You got good advice from others, so not much to add other than we always made sure to touch Frank's paws from the get-go, even when not clipping, to get him used to it. We clipped at first and it took two of us and lots of treats but now I have a Dremmel and it is so nice. I just turned it on to get Frank used to the sound and gradually eased him into it. He still gets lots of treats and I have the best luck when he is really sleepy....so he isn't so squiggly. On the home page, there is a good article on nail clipping care. Good luck! Also, if your bullie has a favorite chew toy, maybe give that to her to chew on to help distract her.
