We live out in the country so they are a fact of life for us but all I have to do is just separate the hair a little bit that is around the burr and it comes out. There may be a few strands of hair in the pile of burrs when I'm done but not as much as you had. Maybe you had some stickers in with the burrs and they didn't come out as easily?? Yes, I would say no more walks in the woods unfortunately if you have them that badly out there.
Yes, normally we only have a few hairs come out bc we have perfected the art of seperating them from the hair before removing them. However, this time was so bad (I wish you coulda seen) it was just clusters of them everywhere. We had no choice. I feel so bad for her but she really did cry, she just sat there and let it happen bc she knew she had to. I set up an appointment to get her groomed so maybe the shorter hair won't attract as many burrs. And, yes, they were burrs, not stickers, they were not sharp.
