Dogs and walking on wood floors
We just moved into a house, which has wood (laminate) flooring in the living
room and down two halls. We have two large dogs who are indoor dogs who moved in as well. Our problem is, that one of the dogs has problems walking on the floor. She's walking on her nails instead of her paws and of course starts slipping and sliding in her effort to sink her claws in. The other dog however walks, rather, moves just like Fred Astaire across the floor without any problem. We've laid out runners which has helped, but Ginger is now limited on where she can go. She still has access to her doggie door, which is great but she's not able to make it to other parts of the house. Any suggestions on helping her or training her to walk across the floor calmly and on the pads of her feet. We've trimmed her nails hoping that would help but it hasn't. We keep hoping the other dog will train her in time, but right now Ginger is scared to death. Thanks in advance for all responses. Duncan |

. .. She's walking on her nails instead of her paws and of course starts slipping and sliding Duncan: get a product called "Tacky Paw", it will give her some grip and some confidence until she gets used to is. i use it on my arthritic old girl daily so she can walk on the non carpeted areas of the house. i buy it when i go to dog shows, but you can order it for about $6.00 at: http://amos.shop.com/amos/cc/main/cc.../adtg/04080523 -- Ruth, Greta, Woody & Thelma |

Thanks so much for the link. Does your dog try and lick it off?
