I have a 100lb pitbull with a nail trim phobia so bad that he will politely leave the room if he even sees me using wire strippers... AMA.
For ours, we use one of those suspension harness things that hang from a door jam, and some narcotic sedatives from the vet. He's the sweetest thing in the entire world, and he'll let a chihuahua bark him into a corner, and then be sad about it for the rest of the day because he couldn't make a new friend, but when nail clippers are involved, he just loses his entire mind. It really is like a phobia in the true DSM sense of the word.
