I have a schnauzer/pug who hates getting her nails clipped. I sit down with my legs stretched out and quickly flip her onto her back (I usually do this on a couch or with a pillow underneath so her back is supported) and just clip the nails like that.
I find this way is best because it's easier to see the quick from the underside of her nails and her head has a smaller range of motion so it's harder for her to snap. I recommend clipping a little nail at a time if you can't see the quick, but going as fast as you safely can.
If you do hit the quick, I've heard that if you light a match, put it out, let it cool and then press it on the bleeding it will stop it. I'm not sure how true that is but I saw it somewhere on /r/Rabbits
I'm not a professional, but this is what I do. Hope this helps!
