we've had my rescue for a couple months now and he's absolutely wonderful and a great addition to the house. however, we figured out pretty quickly that he's completely terrified of nail trims. when we first took out the nail cutters he let us bring them near his paw (although clearly nervous) but after I tried to fit one of his nails into the cutter, he just drew his hand away and bolted. we've tried distracting him with toys and treats, bought different kinds of nail cutters, but even handling his paw for longer than a couple seconds makes him get anxious. I've tried wrapping him in a blanket, catching him asleep, and bringing him to a groomers, but even they couldn't control him. im scared to stress him out even more but im even more scared of his nails getting too long. im completely lost, anyone know what we can do?
