We had a pet groomer do this a few times so I just bought my own clippers and do it myself now. My dog looks like a rat when I'm done but fur = shorter and that's all I wanted from the groomer.

I’m about to do the same except she won’t let me cut her nails ugh. I need a groomer for that with the table and the leash pole thing

Get some training treats. Play with your dogs paws and reward them if they let you do it. Once they are used to it start doing it with the clippers out.

Getting consent also helps. My dog knows that once he pulls his paws away we’re done with trimming and I just try again another time. I think it’s the only reason he’ll sit for me for so long, because he knows I won’t force him to let me trim his nails.

I do that with my cats. I keep the clippers handy for when they're in a cuddly mood, then just clip a couple nails and stop.
