[nagdu] Hot Asphalt Awareness!

[Nicole Torcolini]

What brand are shoes ? The ones that I occasionally use are ruffware (not
sure if I spelled that correctly).

Perhaps you could try having your dog wear the shoes around the house for
short periods of time to get him used to them. Start with only one shoe for
a short time. When you put it on him, try to keep him calm, and then give
him a treat afterwards. Even though he may not like the shoes, he will
probably come to tolerate it better knowing that he will get a treat for it.

Hi list,

What should a guide dog handler do in a situation where the dog hates having
the shoes put on? It takes me like 45 minutes to put his shoes on because he
fights me the whole time.  Then, when I finally do get the them on, we
walked about 3 houses down and they had fallen off his paws 4 times.

Sorry, all,
No link URL link for this one, but it originally comes from another guide
dog related list I'm on.
If need be, you can go into your search engine and type in hot aspault
awareness.
As soon as I listen to how hot the temps are going to get, Odie's shoes go
on him immediately.

Hot Asphalt Awareness!
This is a chart which shows how hot asphalt gets :
 When it is 87 degrees outside (air temperature) the asphalt is
143 degrees.  At 125 degrees skin destruction can take place in 60 seconds!
Hints:
Walk your pup early in the day - leave home in this hot weather!
If you have to go out - press the back of your hand firmly against the
pavement for 7 seconds...  if it is comfortable for you it will be ok for
your pup.
