I got one of those little Wahl buzzer/clipper things at Petco (about 10 bucks I think) and that's how I clip the hair between Tatum's paws. It's real small. We have all hard wood floors so I have to do it after almost every bath so she can get traction on the floors. I lay her on her back on my legs and she's never had a problem with the buzzing sound. I can tell it sometimes tickles and she'll wiggle her foot but never fight me while doing it. I also use that to do the edges of her ears and the tops of her ears and her hiney area. It comes in real handy! Now, nails! That's another thing. I bragged about how good she was when she was real little but now she's decided it's a fight to the death on that one.
