I'm late to the conversation, and I really don't have much to add because I get it all done at once, I just can't keep stress her out every other day. We take her down to Pet Value and have their technician do it, with our help. I get her up on the table (she goes on command - thank God because I couldn't lift her), and then both her Dad and I hold her down and whisper sweet soothing words. She bucks every now and then and it's a work out to make it easy for the tech. And when it's done, she jumps down and does a little dance and she'll even give the tech a little affection...but, just a little. Mostly she's saying "I'm out of here." This is followed up by her shopping for her special treat (usually expensive) and she prances out the door with her treasure in her mouth.
Fortunately for us, she only needs them done once a month. We do most of our walking on concrete, so, she wears them down every day.
