[nagdu] Winter Apparel For Dogs

[Doug Parisian]

Methinks that dogs wearing boots is often highly over rated.  That fact that 
the dog doesn't like them is sending an obvious message.

Unless you have had issues with an unbooted dog, why go through the bother. 
If you really need to have the dog wear any foot coverings, there has 
already been discussion on conditioning acceptance; Coles notes, do practice 
when in a safe secure place, like at home with appropriate rewards.

Doug: My dogs do not believe these boots are made for walkin'.

:I have never thought of getting my dog a winter cote, because as a German
: shepherd he has a thick double cote. I do however have a set of boots for
: him I got at REI. How do you accustom your dog to boots? My dog just 
refuses
: to ware them.

: My other question is my dog still has his dewclaw. How do you avoid this
: getting irritated or injured by the tops of the boots?
