You can use a moustache trimmer between the pads and sorta dig out
the hair between the pads. It won't hurt them. It's important to keep
the underfoot clean and free of long hair.
Also like Madelin stated put the food down and with scissors cut around
the foot to the back of it on each side. Keep the hair trimed just
above the toenails or even with as long as it is not touching the ground.
Hope this helps you,
I trim the foot so that is hair is touching the ground. Then I pretty much trim to the standard and a show foot.

And I don't mean to contridicte you, but you never dig out the hair between the pads....you comb and trim the hair level with the pads.
