Every time I try to clip my dogs nails she pulls away. When I try to cut at least one while shes asleep, she'll just wake up and run away. Now her nails have gotten really long, and its become very dangerous for her. I have thought about taking her to a vet to have her sedated and cut her nails then, but the cost would just be too high. I heard about pedipaws, but I've never seen them anywhere in HK.
Does anyone know where I can get pedipaws in Hong kong? The help would really be appreciated.

By the description of her reaction to you going near her claws, she's likely to respond in the same way with the pedipaws tool. What she needs (and should have had) is desensitisation training whereby she is gradually exposed to having her claws touched and rewarded for not reacting adversely. Sounds like she needs her claws cut urgently because very long claws can affect their movement.
Alternatively you could muzzle her and get help to hold her down which she'll find stressful, but if you can't afford the vet option what options do you have?
