Anyone do it themselves? I cant get our retriever to not panic when i go near her paws with trimmers. we have hardwood floors and when the hair grows out she slides around. Just don’t want her to get hurt. Anyone have any suggestions? Would petco trim just the paws for cheap?

Damn that dog is even cuter than notorious dog man LSU Coyote's dog

I’ve given up on trimming my mutt. I take her to my vet for like $15. She has to be muzzled because it upsets her so much she goes berzerk

I have some sharp haircutting scissors I use.

By bringing it in and having someone else do it.
I've never even attempted with my dogs

Mine has a day of beauty twice a month at the spa. They take care of unwanted hair and bleach his butthole.

I have two Goldens and we have the groomer do it.
The reasons:
- We have wood floors and the extra hair makes it slippery for them.
- Our Goldens have seasonal allergies that make their feet itch. The hair holds the pollen, and then they lick their feet a lot. Which causes yeast infections between their paws.
I've seen people smear some peanut butter on the tile in the bath tub and while the dog licks it they can trim feet, clean out ears, etc.

Mine hates it but puts up with it.
It’s easier to handle it I have someone else to hold him, though

I take my dog walking pretty frequently. The concrete keeps his nails and paw hair in check.

When you bathe her, just slip in some Nair to be applied from the knee down...problem solved!

These are the exact reasons.

Or, get a large wooden spoon and coat it with peanut butter. While she's going to town on it do the job. Stop and recoat the spoon if needed.

Their pads are probably too dry...

Our dog freaks out when he gets groomed. It has come to the point where we have to take him to the vet. They have to put him under to do it. It runs about $150 so we just have them do everything as short as possible.

I have the same problem as the OP.
My dog is fine with my cutting his body. But, he freaks out whenever I get near his paws or his face. Cutting his nails is an impossibility. I even purchased one of those grooming tables but he still freaks out. He will literally jump off the grooming table while its attached to his collar despite the fact that he's basically hanging himself -- I have to hold on to him so that he doesn't hang himself.
And, my dog doesn't shed AT ALL. So, it's basically a biweekly fight. I've had to buy one of those surgical collars so that I can trim his butt on a weekly basis. Otherwise, the sh!t will get caught up in all the hair he grows back there.
So, if anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it as well.
ETA: One of the things I do try is cutting around his paws, face, and stomach when he's sleeping. But, I can only do so much before he wakes up. Unfortunately, like a lot of dogs, he's a very light sleeper.

I’ve had good practice. My 1800lb horse is a biiig no to clippers near his ears. If I could trim them with scissors I figured the dog’s paws would be easy

Have you strategically deployed treats?
I ask because I used to have two cats, and I trimmed their front claws monthly. There was a lot of hate & discontent at first, but then I started giving them tuna immediately afterwards.
Within a few months, there was no more drama.
