Well, I decided to cut Lilos nails right now, and I used Your recomendations, about putting her on her back , but also I used a tip from one of "dog wisperer" episodes, that says to get her really tired and submisive befor I do it. So that what I did. I held her tight in my arms for about 10 minutes. She was trying to wiggle out the whole time. Once I saw her getting out off energy, I started to put her on her back, and with the "shhh" sound ( Cesars famous Shhh Sound) I put her in submisive state of mind with positive energy towards her ( if this make any sense). And to my syprise she was totaly coopertive with me. After every nail I cut, I gave her treat, until She got the whole idea of getting her nail trimmed.
I'm so proud of her. Brave little girl.

Good job. But I would think a game or a walk would have been a more pleasant way to get her tired out.
