When I got Cody he came with a shopping bag of "stuff" in that bag was a set of booties Yesterday I managed to get them on his front paws only, then he stood like a statue, would not move lol. I had assumed since they were in his bag the prev, owner had used them. I will keep putting them on him, see if he gets use to them. That video proved to me dogs can walk very well with them on. My winter concern is the SALT BRINE they spread on our main road. A reason Cody is not leash walked when it snows and my road is plowed then SALT BRINE is spread, the booties would do very well then. We will practice in the back yard first, before the first snow fall. The 16 degree morning temps we have been having the last week or two, with high winds Cody goes on deck, looks through the deck lattice to make sure that pesky lil squirrel has not invaded his yard, does his business, then scampers back indoors. Dressed properly these lil critters can be leashed walked, short walks are fine. All my past dogs were leased walked in the winter, snow, hail, rain,when I lived in NY. They were 20 min. walks, they were trained to potty outside. They did fine.
