* By the third day, you might be able to entice him on a longer walk. Keep the treats going the whole time.
* Keep up this routine for at least a week. He may protest and try to hide from you when you go for the booties the next day, but make sure you don't let him win.
* It took me about 2 weeks of this before Eddie gave in. He still occasionally runs from me, but he doesn't even seem to notice he has them on outside.
* If you're just letting him out for short pee breaks, I wouldn't even bother. If it turns into too much of a hassle for you, it's not worth.
Good luck. It's not as hard as I make it sound -- and it's definitely worth it!

Great advice I really appreciate it unfortunately I don't have a backyard I live in a highrise building so i have to take him outside and make him walk on the sidewalks and you know that they put salt...I wentand bought pepperoni and cut it into small pieces and now i will take him outside and do as you told me . I will let you know how it works
