As long as you trim the hair on the pads including the toes then you shoulden't need to trim in between the toes. Just so as long as you can pick up your dog's foot and see the pad and toes without any hair, then your alright. The main reason for this is so that nothing gets caught on the dog's hair or any stones get stuck in the pads or hair which would be uncomfortable for the dog since he would be walking on it. I found that if you can get your dog to lie on its back, its really easy to trim up around the pad and you can see perfectly what you are doing, all of my dogs will do this. Cutting in between the toes is tricky, especially with long haired dogs. I know that groomers don't like to do it and will only do it with a very still dog, otherwise the dog would get nicked.
