Teaching Your Dog to Wear Booties

Dog booties protect your dog’s feet from the cold of winter, prevent scrapes and cuts and avoids the irritation from deicing chemicals and salts. However, getting your dog to wear booties can be a little tricky. Buy the proper size booties. They shouldn’t be baggy and ungainly but they shouldn’t be too tight either. Start teaching your dog to wear his booties before you really need him to wear them. Put a bootie on one foot and allow him to walk around the house with it on. Choose a different foot and continue. Next put on two booties and then three and finally booties on all four feet. Offer treats and lots of praise during this process to encourage him to accept the booties and not fight to take them off. Never punish or yell at your dog if he resists booties. Just stop and try another day. For more information, click this website, or contact your Marietta, GA veterinarian.
