So you got some dog boots for your dog, now how do you put them on? If your dog has never worn boots, they may be a bit resistant at the start and walk a little funny the first few times. Here is a walkthrough on how to put on our Ultrawoof dog boots and get your dog accustomed to them. Happy walking!
We put together a quick video as well that you can check out here on our Instagram or here on our TikTok, or further below on this page.
How to put on dog boots
- Find a high-value treat your dog loves. (Tofu loves cheese!)
- Let your dog smell the boots to familiarize with the item
- Start by putting only 1 pair of the front or back boots on your dog (we like to start with the back pair)
- Fold boot in half to make it easier to slip on the dog's foot
- Tuck the nails and toes into boot and slide paw in
- Flip up the fold and pull up to ensure paw is at the bottom
- Once one boot is on, reward with their favorite treat!
- Once both boots are on, let your dog walk around (and of course more treats)
- Repeat with other pair until all 4 boots are on
- Continue to reward your dog with high-value treats the first few walks
To ensure maximum comfort, keep your dog's nails trimmed and buffed to a proper length.
