This has been an issue for me when my dogs were still puppies. They were always screaming and crying whenever I give them a bath but they got over it. I completely ignored their screams no matter what whenever we give them a bath. I also gave them treats just so they will feel better. There were also times that they don't like the treats that I give them praises instead. I think those things really made them feel better. I also use warm water instead of cold water because they like it better. For my puppies when I clip their nails, I always make sure that they are in a comfortable position. I also try to cut their nails quickly. I always make sure that I give them treats so that they will always feel better and won't cry.

I agree with ilovedogss37. You should try to give your puppies some treats. When my Siberian Husky was still a little puppy, he would always scream and scream whenever I give him a bath. I give him little cookies because he really loves them. He would stop crying instantly and he would feel even better. After a few months, he got used to it and he loved it already. I only had problems with him when I tried to cut his nails. His nails are very long and I want to cut it because I do not want him to hurt his self. Just like your puppies, he would also make a big deal out of it. It was not like I was hurting him or something. I was just cutting his nails. Your puppies will eventually like what you are doing to them. Don't try to ignore their cries.

Thank you for your advice! I will try to give them treats but I do not know what to give them since they are still very young like 3 months old. What treats do you think that I should give them? Is it safe to give them small bite-sized cookies? Or cheese perhaps? I have already tried to give them praises but it did not work for them. I seriously do not know what to do to them anymore! I am starting to get annoyed but I know that I should understand them. I think that clipping their nails would be the most difficult for me. I am afraid to continue to cut them because they still have little nails and I am afraid that I would hurt them.
