Many dogs also need boots in cold weather, regardless of coat length. If your dog frequently lifts up his paws, whines or stops during its walks, it is demonstrating that its feet are uncomfortably cold. Be sure to get your dog used to wearing boots before the cold weather sets in. If your pet walks on salted sidewalks or streets, be sure to wash his paws after your walk. Salt is very irritating to footpads. Gently rub the bottom of the feet to remove the salt as soon as your dog is off the road.

How do I get involved? What does it take for my dog and I to become an Animal Assisted Therapy team? PRAAT has been highly successful, in large part because we have the most rigorous and demanding selection process. Less than half the dogs screened actually complete the program. What this means is that that those volunteers and their dogs that complete the process are among the best animal assisted therapy dog teams around! What steps are involved? 1 Screening for health and disposition. What do we expec...
