This is a repost but it is so important that it's well worth the repeat. It's such an easy way to reduce stress for dogs in the home.

Lets talk floors.

Often the first thing I notice when I go into people's homes is their flooring. I see many homes now with beautiful, shiny, wooden, laminate or tiled floors. I understand how easy these are to keep clean when you have children and/or pets but have you ever thought of the impact this has on your dog and they way that they move around the house?

Whether you have a young, excitable pup, a gangly adolescent or a middle aged/elderly dog, walking on these floors can cause long term difficulties. Often once a dog has skidded or slipped a few times they can become fearful and start to tense as they move around which in turn becomes habit and can lead to a point of long term, chronic pain. There are often, so called 'funny' videos online ,of dogs skidding and sliding into walls and doors, but this can really do some damage to joints, muscle and soft tissues.

Some clients have made great observations of their dogs:

'We've noticed that Daisy always hesitates when going from the hall into the kitchen' (hall carpeted & kitchen is laminate).

'Frank never walks straight to the back door he always moves to the left to walk along the edge of the dining room rug' (rest of room wooden floors)

'I always have to pick Teddy off the sofa as he won't jump down' (laminate flooring throughout).

Carpet runners and rubber backed mats are great for creating safe pathways around the home. Have mats around any furniture that your dog jumps up and down from, allowing them to gain traction as they take off and land and be especially mindful if the bottom of your stairs leads straight onto an uncarpeted floor.
