I have a 20lb Mini Aussie (American Shepard if you'd like) and he has always detested having his nails done. He is calm and cooperative for other grooming, but the nails have always been where he's drawn the line with some growling and protest. I've tried all kinds of training and making the experience positive, I've used clips and dremels, he just will not stand (or lay) for it. I got this because nail cutting is just an unavoidable practice and he went right into it, I hung him on the shower rod in my bathroom and he turned into a stuffed animal. He was in shock, I was in shock, and his nails got cut in record time. When we were finished, I gave him all the love and praise he needed. Honestly, this is a really great item, I feel so relieved having it on hand and I wasn't afraid at ALL that he was going to fall out of it or that I was hurting him.
