We started with just the back feet to give our dog a chance to get used to his new boots. We placed the shoes on him and played games with him to distract him. We kept them on him for a minute or two and slowly worked up to a bit longer. Finally, we started taking him on short walks in a place he found had good sniffs. The training worked really well, and in about 2 weeks, he seems comfortable with his shoes. I think they will be a great addition to his adventuring wardrobe. Next, we will work on getting him accustomed to wearing shoes on his front feet.
