Puppy won’t let me trim nails or trim feet hair

I’m sure it will take some time to get him used to the noise. Is that whag took half a day? How did you do it?

Yes, half a day, I turned it on at the lowest step, had a treat in the hand that Minnie got every time I turned it on, until she was comfortable with it -
the last few times she sat on my lap when I turned on - treat
Next step - turn on - hold on the little paw - treat etc.

But be very careful not to get in touch with the coat.

Now she even jumps on my lap - I pack a paw into a towel - when the paw is cleared - treat - new paw and so on
 
yes, I did the same with the dremel and clippers, scissors and trimmer- one nail at a time, adding one nail every day...................
 
I also really like using peanut butter in a tough to get to spot--either in a Kong, between a helper's two fingers, or on one of those "licky mats". Keeps them busy and they typically don't realize what's happening. I also find it easier if I flip them on their backs :)
