During hunting and training I use a horse product called Show Sheen. I spray the legs before going out and then the burrs etc are much easier to comb out and in the winter it prevents the snow from balling up on the legs.
I have also found that leaving a bit of coat between the pads when pheasant hunting seems to save their feet a bit, just the opposite of what you would think, but I get lots less foot injuries with a little protection of hair there. We also will use mushers secret, or Shaws Paw Wax between their toes and pads in winter to help prevent snowballing, and tearing up of the feet on the ice and snow.
