more than 'slightly bleeding.' Preferrably, before bleeding even starts. You need to be careful when trimming a dog's nails. Cutting too far, and you will cause a lot of bleeding. Look at the nails carefully, you should see a darker portion in the center of the nail coming from the pad. This is the blood supply to the nail. Cut no closer to it than about 1/4 inch. Really, you should just cut the hard outer part of the nail that curls in off of the inner part. If you examine the nail, you will see that it is much like ours. There is a living part close to the pad, and the overgrowth further away from it. Be gentle, and try to only trim it back a bit not too much... Good luck, Steve.
