I have a friend with a GSD that is exactly the same way, one would 
think he was being killed.  Guess I'm lucky that my boy saw the 
light.  It did take several sessions with a training collar and firm 
corrections when he reacted.  Now we just stand him on the floor and 
trim away, oh, with a reminder once or twice to hold still.  I am 
pretty firm with him about many things and he is a good boy.
