Service Dogs.. are not helpful

Today again I had to go clip the nails of a service dog... now before I continue let me tell you some short stories about service/police dogs I have had to work with...
There was a police lab that had strong aggression to other dogs and would attack them.. a lab I mean really?!
There was another service lab that had  a fear of riding in elevators... like to see it navigate the owner up the stairs...
There was a lady (service labs see a patterns? lol) that had some service puppies but you could never make them do anything and asked someone to clip its nails... needless to say the dog didnt want to have its nails clipped (what puppy does?) but sense you couldnt MAKE the dog do anything it didnt wanted to the dog ended up winning. I suppose you can let the dog run fast on asphalt has the same effect...
There was a police dog who hated water (guess how that bath went?)
So again here I was trimming the nails on a very unhappy service dog and I have come to understand that for some reason people forget basic manners on service police dogs.
