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.

Why does it take only 10 minutes to trim fingernails but over 1 hour to trim toenails?
Because you're doing it wrong. Answer: Maybe you're too fussy and you're trying to trim them as short as possible. Anyway, 1 hour is bad, but it's not as bad as the last time I trimmed my toenails, which took an incredible 4 hours! I had to stop several times, to stretch and relax my sore legs from being hunched over for so many hours. I don't know why it would take anybody 10 minutes to trim fingernails let alone an hour or more for toenails... It should only take maybe 2 minutes to trim your fingernails.
