Do you clip your dogs nails?

I have found that using a grinder on my dogs nails makes them more nervous about the whole nail clipping process. I have been clipping all of my dogs nails for years. The best nail clipper that I have found is one with a guard. The guard is in place so that you only clip off a little bit. It also lines the nail up evenly so that you can get a clean and even cut. Also if you are too nervous about clipping your dogs nails they will sense it. Take your time and make sure your confident in what your doing.
