I do use boots for my Yorkie in the winter. Sometimes the ice cuts his paw and I feel better when he has his boots on for some protection. I trained him at home when he was 7-8 months old..at first he really walks funny with all 4 legs spread outwards. It was funny to watch and he got used to it pretty quickly and then we started going outside with it.
I believe they can be train at any age. It just takes some patience and persistence to get them used to it. |
