You likely caught the dog’s "quick"

The quick is a nerve that runs into the dog’s nail. Sort of similar to our finger nails in that you only cut so much of it back before you’re hitting skin.

If you don’t cut the nails on a dog for a substantial amount of time, the quick will grow longer into the nail.
In which case you will have to trim a little bit of the nail back each day to recede the nerve.
Here is a diagram explaining that:

Also, here is a website explaining how to safely trim a dog’s nails:

You cut the quick, it hurts like MAD for the dog. You’d probably feel the same if you ripped your nail off.
Cut carefully and as soon as you see something white you stop. A rasp can also be used, it’s good and the pulp will grow back faster. Rasp a little bit everyday.

You cut the quick. Put flour or cornstarch on it to stop the bleeding. Take your dog to a groomer next time you want his nails clipped.

You are cutting the quick, that blood vessel in her nails. Meaning you're cutting her nails too short. That is very painful and if you don't know how to do it right take her to a groomer or have a vet do it. The quick grows as the toe nail grows. If her nails are light colored you can see the red in her nail. That's where it ends and you shouldn't cut passed it.

It sounds like you cut the quick. Try purchasing dog nail clippers, and cut a tiny bit of the nail at a time. The longer the nails get, the longer the quick gets (making it difficult to cut a lot of the length off at once)

I had the same problem with my boxer. After weeks of research, I found an answer that really worked for us. Try feeding your dog pineapple from the can or fresh. Most dogs like the taste going in, but after it comes out not only does it put off a foul smell in the feces, but it also makes it taste bitter to them, they will then learn not to eat it. Of coarse this will only work with your dogs as people who go to dog parks etc wont be doing this. If you keep with it though, after awhile you will break the habit of the dogs eating the poo. A good place to see this used is the animal plants web site, trainer Victoria Stillwell’s site has a clip of it. Good Luck.

feed them pineapple, some how it makes their poop taste bad and dogs eat poop because they aren't getting enough nutrients the 1st time around, so maybe better quality dog food

Pick it up immediately. Or, you can reevaluate the foods you feed. Chances are a change in diet can eliminate this behavior as well. High quality kibble can put and end to coprophagy.
