<< I know someone at some time on one of these lists said they put the dog's paw into a nylon stocking to hold the hair back, while the nails poked through and were easy to trim.

I have never seen a breed harder to do the nails. It is as if they are ticklish. I do them once a week even the newborns. you would think this would be old hat by now. I have tried everything from cat scissors, baby toenail clippers, mens toenail clippers.. noosing them on the grooming table, holding them upside down on my lap, having children pat their tummies while I cut, having my 7 yr old look sternly at his Mandy "the incorrigible trained by a 4 yr. old to want what she wants when she wants it" I dread it worse than them.. I might spring for a dremel. Is it really any easier??For a cookie you can perform surgery on a labrador they lay so still. I am not used to this.
