I stumbled upon an idea to train a dog to file their own nails! Purchase some anti-slip tape (kinda like sandpaper) and attach it to a small board. From there, it was very easy to train my 2 dogs to file their own front nails down on the board! I am working on back feet, but so far I have only managed to train back feed "marching" on the board rather than any actual scratches. My dogs never scratch with their back feet after pooping either so I can't capture it. But at least their back nails grow much slower than the front!
Here is my blog post on the idea and results:
