 If your animal is relaxed enough to do it, like I do this with my larger dogs, is I kind of treat them like a horse where you would stand and pull the foot between your leg. You can see the quick, and you can just snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, and then their face is behind you. So if anybody's going to bite, they're going to bite your derriere. They're not going to bite your face.
