| I have the same problem expect Porscha just hates the feel of grass in general, I am pad training her now, otherwise she will only go on cement. |

| Hi! Welcome!!! Princess didn't like getting her paws wet, But when they have to go, they do go. Try the sidewalk, or driveway. You can always use baby wipes on her paws, after she goes. That's what I have to do for Princess. Good Luck!

| Indy doesn't like the wet grass either. If he's dancing and I know he has to go I put him on a leash and carry him out to the grass and put him down. He usually squats right away and then I pick him up and carry him in. Winter is going to be nasty, haven't decided what to do about the snow yet.... |

| Maybe when it snows you can clear a little path and introduce Zoey little by little to the snow. Who knows, she just might love that fluffy white stuff and wanna stay out and play. Burrr! Schatzie at first didn't care for wet paws either, but she soon got over the soggy paws and found it more interesting to sniff around instead. Eventually her wet paws didn't seem to bother her any longer.

| Bitsy doesn't like to get hers wet either and sometimes she'll poop right smack in the middle of the road when my husband walks her if the grass is wet

| Mine hate the wet and the cold! I tried the booties....they looked so cute...but they DID NOT LIKE THEM AND COULD HARDLY WALK! So, I just make them go...if it's raining, I do put their raincoats with hoods on....they do like that. I saw somewhere they now have umbrellas that are low for them, kinda' like upside down umbrellas, but the material part is faced the right way so the rain doesn't get them. I think maybe you can take an umbrella, remove the handle put the handle on the other way. You are all probably confused, sorry, but it's hard to explain! Good luck! |

| Chloe will run out quickly poop and run back in. Lacey would not go out in the rain if I stood with her forever, so I just keep an eye out and try to clean up quickly afterward. |

| Mine got used to the wet but they HATE cold & wet. So for when it gets cold I have to put booties on thier feet. The bad thing about booties and shoes is you have to get them used to those too

| Susan doesn't mind wet paws, but she doesn't like rain falling on her. I know she doesn't mind wet paws because when she goes to my mom's she likes to drink from the labrador retriever's bowl, and when she does, she always stands in it. I don't know why. She never puts her feet in her bowl at home. I guess the lab's bowl is just so big she thinks it's a wading pool. |
