No, they wear off naturally against the ground. If the dog doesn't get enough exercise on rough ground, they will need to be trimmed by a human.

How often do you trim dogs toenails?

Walking the dog on pavement may wear the claws down so you'll never need to trim them. If you hear the claws clicking on the floor or the pavement, you probably ought to trim them back. A good target length for a medium size dog is about a quarter inch. Cutting them too close will injure the dog. One thing to bear in mind is that if you don't at least go through the motions of trimming the claws about once a week--followed by a treat, to get it used to it, your dog may fight you when you really need to trim the claws. Some dogs get really unnerved when it comes to having their claws trimmed.
