Dog Will Not Walk On Hardwood Floor Now

Hardwood floors are hard for older dogs to walk on.

Dog will not walk on hardwood floor now.

My black labrador female dog became afraid of walking on the laminate and cushion floor after i had her spaded. He is not scared of the hardwood floors but struggled to walk on them without sliding. Or your dog might be so terrified of your tiles that he will avoid walking on them altogether. When she realizes that she walked on the laminate to get to a mat she will actually stay on the mat and cry.

Alternatively and unpleasantly if a new rescue dog seems stressed or afraid to walk on your floors it may be because they were punished for walking. This can lead them to be extra cautious as they walk across a slippery floor. Additionally senior dogs have more difficulty going from a lying down to standing position. A senior dog may be fearful of trying to rise and walk on hardwood floors.

Some dogs are outright afraid of walking on a slippery floor. Unfortunately awkwardly walking across the floor can only make the problem worse. There are several things you can do to help an old dog slipping on hardwood floors in your home other than removing your beautiful hardwood floor. It seems she is coming around with the cushion floor but not having any luck with the laminate.

My dog is 17 with back problems that cause his rear to wobble and thus he sometimes falls. If you have hardwood floors in your home you will notice that your dog will have even a harder time walking through an area with hardwood floors. After examining my dog s paws i found them to be dry and callused.
