Hi to all other Yorkie Owners! I'm a relatively new Yorkie Mom. Cody is just over 4 months old. We're having a great deal of trouble trimming his nails. I trimmed them when we first brought him home at 12 weeks. It wasn't easy, but with some treats and a sleepy Yorkie we were able to accomplish it. Now nothing works. He goes absolutley bonkers when he sees the little clippers and I touch his paws -- treats or no treats. We absolutely did not injure him or scare him the first time around so I don't know what has gotten into him. My other dog -- a keeshond -- has never given me a problem and merely hands over his paws when it's time to have his nails done. I even had Cody watch this as he tries to copy everything the kees (Baron) does. Any suggestions???

Thanks for your help.
