Anytime fellow dog lover! I was going to mention but didn't want to overkill the advice, but you said she might freak out if you leave her there. I've often had them do her nails while I was there so I could help keep her calm. Like I said I only stopped after one incident and should just find someplace else. It's about $10 where we live and it's so much quicker and painless than when I try to do it. She sits for Dad, but not for me. Good luck!
