True Spaniel Elegance: no, that boot isn't twisted sideways. She's... ~standing fancy~.

In his breaking bad era

I just got the rest of my splint rings today and one of them was a little loose and somehow fell off and landed in one of Mandana’s shoe when I was putting it on her. I barely noticed a slight limp when we got outside and asked her to show me which paw hurt. Sure enough when I took the boot off to check the paw out popped the ring splint! Just goes to show how attentive I need to be with her. This gurl was in a perfect heel and putting her full weight on this wonky metal thing without a single complaint until I asked 🙄

Dog Shoes

So, I saw YET ANOTHER video of a dog wearing shoes for the first time and doing that high kick walk. This IS funny to watch, but if this is happening, it means you did it wrong.

Dog pads are very sensitive, so basically, picture someone just sticking oven mitts over your hands for seemingly no reason and telling you to go about your day while wearing those. No, you can't modify them in any way or pull them off at any time. What do you mean you can't scratch your nose? Well that's just too bad, isn't it. It's similar to dog boots.

It may take longer initially, but it will be much easier in the long run if you acclimate them to the shoes first and make it a positive experience.

In order to do this, have some high value treats ready. Hold up one shoe. Let the dog take their time sniffing it if they care to. Don't let them chew it, it's not a toy, but if they're curious, that nose should be allowed to go where it pleases.

Once the sniff part is done, give treat.

Put the boot on your dogs foot. Treat. Remove boot. Treat. Repeat this one more. If your dog tries to remove the boot, distract them with yet another treat. Do this until your pup is comfortable with you putting the boots on all four paws.

Once you get the shoes on, lead them around the house with treats, keep their attention on the food instead of their own feet. You'll be amazed at how quickly they get used to the footwear.

Once they stop high stepping in the house, take them outside and do more luring with treats until they seem more comfortable. Let them explore the yard a little. Feeling ambitious? Take them for a nice, relaxing walk.

Come back inside, remove the boots, treat.

Congratulations. You've just trained your pup to accept boots. And it will be much less of a struggle in the future! When I need to put Sutter Cain's boots on, it takes maybe 2 whole minutes if I'm not in any rush. He never struggles, fusses, never dodges, runs away, hides, or tries to pull them back off. He just stands there patiently while I lift his foot, slip on the shoe, then do the velcro.

He doesn't high step, doesn't shake his feet, doesn't mind them at all.

Compare that to the people who tell me all the time how their dog fights them every step of the way until they finally gave up.

It may take longer AT FIRST, but if you do it right, your life gets easier in the long term.

I love tzapo's boots! What brand are they? My dog's are getting worn out so we're looking for some nice ones!

(Also the best time someone has commented on my dog's boots was them going "dog with da jordans" and then kept walking.

Tzapo wears Ruffwear Grip Trex boots. They're pricey but good quality. However, they are a bit notorious for rubbing on dew claws if your dog has them. Tzapo's were removed by the breeder at a young age so it's a moot point with him. To deal with the dew claw issue, you can use vet wrap. Or, you can use another high quality set that doesn't rub the same way.

@mandana-the-service-pup has some reviews on dog shoes she did with her SDiT, and I know one pair was reviewed there and it didn't have the dew claw issue at all.

(and that's amazing. I don't think anyone has referred to Tzapo's shoes that way yet lmao)
