Clipping dog toe nails...
..is a potentially deadly job.
My sister dropped off her clippers and said she had to leave right away.
I know why! A fat Dog with long nails is a quick way to be bitten in the esophagus.
Holy crap....Sas is biting, I'm blackmailing her while trying to "snip" nails, and all the time thinking that when I got shot it wasn't as bad as this undertaking!! No human should go through this. Aparently no dog either
.
I clipped 8 out of 16...........I'm alive to tell the story.
She's going to the Vet............Oxycotin for the dog.
Then they finish the nail clippings. Holy crap!!!

Hey, Carl, you're supposed to file a dog's toenails, not clip them. Even if you don't directly clip into the quick, it still gets pinched, causing the dog pain.

You could always hand-file them. Or use sandpaper glued to a stick of some sort.
Or...
...don't feed Sassy so much, and she might chew them down on her own...

You might try a Dremel tool with the sanding cylinder.
Does an excellent job and it is easier to control and see how deep you are "cutting".
I have used it very well with dogs that are docile. A wild dog only lets you get one or two nails before the sound and vibration makes them wacko. Me and my two teenage sons couldn't hold down or Shepard, at least she didn't try to bite us.
I even see these at Podiatrist(foot doctor) offices to be used to sand away callouses etc. I even use mine on my feet. Just have to keep it moving when you are at high RPM, otherwise the skin smokes and turns brown.
The cheap battery operated ones work better on dogs. Don't make as much noise and are lower RPM than my expensive Lithium model.
Just an idea for gentler dogs.

I have an american akita. Weighs over 90 lbs and AKITAS are known for NOT liking for their feet to be touched. First time I took her to the vets office and asked how much for clippin her toe nails and was told 10 dollers. I laughed as I left and said "that 10 bucks you will more than earn" lol Last time she bit me I almost had to have stiches and all I did was pull her tail after she told me once to stop....
