My Border Collie mix, got terribly sore from the sand at the beach this summer. We ended up buying booties which he wore eagerly. Now that we are getting ready for snowshoeing, I've been wanting to sew some warmer ones for him. I think I'll make a couple of extras as we may leave one in the snow. Thank you for the pattern!

Don't make it too tight or that will defeat your whole purpose. Measure from the top of the boot to the other one then take out about 1 inch. This should keep the boot on when the dog tries to shake them off. But............mark each one for the front or the back because most dog have a different length for each end. If you need more info please feel free to email me at ladytigger54@hotmail.com. Hope this helps.

It might take a few days before you get all four on him without stress, so it's great that you're starting now to boot train him - not waiting for the really cold weather!

LOL! Thanks for the pattern AND especially for the advice on how to get your doggy in the boots. These next few weeks should be fun! … not sure my beagle will take to these, but since he is starting now (October!) to refuse to go out on cold days, I think he will just have to deal with it! LOL!

I have a shih tzu puppy that LOVES to play in the snow, but even when I just let him out to do his thing, he comes back in with snow up to his little body....in little (and big) snowballs....and I won't bathe him every day either. He'll stay in a puppy cut also, so I need to get more yummy treats (baked sliced hot dogs work well for him). I need to design a coat that works in reverse, over his tummy, leaving space to pee and poop, snow on the top is not a problem...but it 'clots' on his tummy! Thanks so much for this.

I have a greyhound that doesn't like to wear a coat an dont know how to get her used to it. She will just stand still and look into space and wont move, I am getting frustrated with the thought of her not wearing a coat during the cold spells in New Hampshire. Please Help! Hi.

Her facial expression looks a lot like my poor Casey here (above), getting the boots out on for the first time - <em>WHAT are you doing to me now????</em> LOL - but it's funny how fast they figure out that booties are waaaaay more comfortable than having cold cracked paw pads on a bitterly cold day, especially if you're walking where there's a lot of road salt.

Please check my blog for Saturday's show n tell and Sunday's followup to emails for info. Again thank you for your help. Much appreciated. I can tell you this -26C with windchills of -43C are too cold for me bundled up never mind a bare dog that does not like being cold on a normal winter day!!!
