How to put on and secure your dog's booties correctly

To put on your dog&#x2019;s booties, you can stand over your dog with your dog between your legs, then lift one paw at a time. This position allows you to maintain control while simultaneously helping your dog balance when lifting each paw.Brush away snow or dirt before putting the bootie on.Slide the bootie over the paw and attach the hook and loop fastener.If you are going for a short training session, a maximum of two hours, the booties should sit quite tight. If you are doing long-distance mushing or trekking for many hours, you should not tighten the booties as much.&#xA0;Hold the bootie in place with one finger, then tighten the strap over your finger for medium and large dogs (size S and up). This way, you ensure it does not get too tight. For smaller dogs, less than a finger is required to prevent the booties from falling off. <a href="https://vimeo.com/1140728907/7fd75315dd?share=copy&amp;fl=sv&amp;fe=ci" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" id="isPasted">How to put on dog booties and check the fit?</a> Your dog&#x2019;s booties should be high enough for the dew claw to be covered.&#xA0;When having a longer break, or when you&#x2019;re done training, take the booties off. Your dog&#x2019;s paws can get swollen if they lie down wearing tightened booties for an extended period of time.

How to put on and adjust high booties for a secure and comfortable fit

Here&apos;s a step-by-step guide to securing high booties, equipped with two adjustable bands, for a snug yet safe fit:<ol><li>Make sure your dog is relaxed and comfortable before you start.</li><li>Gently slide the bootie onto your dog&apos;s paw, ensuring it&apos;s all the way in, with the paw seated comfortably at the bottom of the bootie.</li><li>Fasten the lower band snugly around the bootie, just like you would with a normal-height bootie. This ensures the bootie stays in place without shifting.</li><li>This is where we need to be extra cautious. If the top band of the bootie sits near your dog&apos;s tendons, especially on the back leg, where they&apos;re more prominent and sensitive, tighten with care. The goal is to secure the bootie without putting undue pressure on these tender areas. A good rule of thumb is to ensure you can slip a finger under the band comfortably.</li><li>After both bands are secured, observe your dog walking around. The bootie should stay in place without twisting or slipping. If it moves you should readjust it.</li></ol> Remember, every dog is unique, and so are their legs! The fit might vary slightly, especially for those soft tendons on the back legs.<img alt src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/lrg3N7AmNeK7DnR8/hc/VR1W92R5ova6M8yB/2026050512-60c0044f-aed7-4a14-8f0d-c34bbdd63ae6-ec7836c2-427a-4265-8a34-b8d88bc88be7.png" width="450" data-original-width="1060" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 649px; height: 979.269px;">
