Another puppy training question.

[mowin]

Think I figured out some of the issues.   

Took her out just a couple minutes ago, but as soon as her paws hit the snow ( dusting), she laid down.  Her paws couldn't take the cold.  Poor thing.   My other dogs don't have a issue until it's in the teens or lower. 

Thinking doggie boots might be the answer, IF she keeps them on.   

Thinking things got a tad more challenging.

I just put baby socks on my dogs when its single digits. Tie them on with shoe laces.  Looks like he she needs to go for walks toughen  up the feet.. not sure how much history you have on the dog but if  she could have gotten frozen ... frost bite  might explain the issue.  Or she doesnt understand the sensation.

She was born in mid February.  So probably a mid April to May adoption. So my thoughts that she has never seen grass is a correct assumption.  

That said, even in the past month or so, the only thing she has felt is a concrete floor.

Can't tell everyone how this pisses us off. No puppy deserves that.  

It reinforces our thoughts that she was a kennel pup. 

Makes us that much more committed to helping her become a family member.

I might have a set of dog botties here if you want them.  But the baby socks idea is good, just don’t let her swallow one of them!  Don’t ask me how I know $$$$$$$$

What size booties?   She's 10 months old.   I'll gladly accept them if they fit.  

PM me and I'll gladly pay the shipping.  

Socks will be deployed tomorrow morning.

Is there another dog in the house ... perhaps a friends dog  that she can play with in the snow might help break the ice .

Yes, two other rescues.

Avery size Large. I used them on my brittany in the background. They would be good size on an almost full grown Lab.
PM me your addy.

PM sent.  Can't thank you enough. 

HNY forums come through again.

Can't thank Otto enough.   I'll walk Stella tomorrow morning in the garage and into the driveway as much as she can handle it.  

This poor gal has seen enough BS.
