HELP! -----
My five month old Corgi is a terror when he's being bathed, his ears are being cleaned and when his nails are being trimmed! I have no idea what to do at this point. He barks and cries and yelps so loud that I'm afraid that my neighbors will think I'm beating him.

Seanna was horrible when we got her. Total drama queen. I just sat every day with her and touched her ears, looked at her teeth, and did a mini-exam like the vet would. After each time I touched, she got a little treat. Once she learned to trust me, it was no big deal. She does great now. One thing that saved us with her nails--the obedience class we went to had us flip them over on their backs between our legs...gave treats to keep them there. That allowed me to have her calm so we could do her nails. I still do this with her.
When we got Jackson, he wouldn't let us near his nails with a 10-foot pole. It was a HUGE struggle. We started with just one nail at a time (I dremel), with huge praise and treats. It took us almost a month of every day work, but we finally got him to the point where he trusts us to do them. It just takes alot of patience....and a stern "No" every now and then.
