The Invention of Dog Shoes:
People have been attempting to design and improve models of shoes for dogs in the United States for decades. As stated in the U.S. Patent Application Number 4,458,431, Suzanne Sinclair was the first to create, in 1984, a pair of flexible shoes for pet dogs. According to the Free Patents Online website, the invention was described as "a boot for a pet animal is shown comprising a sole member with a flexible upper attached together around the corresponding front and side edges."
Further Steps- Following the development of Ms. Sinclair, more people had ideas for dog shoes: Bonita McDonald, in 1990; Vondie Stafford, in 1992; Irving Solomon, in 1996; Sandra Brockmann, in 2001; Robert Griffin, 2003; Patricia Lewis, 2004; Lee Fisher, 2005; and Elizabeth Krottinger, in 2007
The Latest Fashion
- Elizabeth Krottinger's model of shoes for dogs is made of flexible and colorful material, like rubber. These shoes very much resembles our tennis shoes, having even a top Velcro strap, eyelets and laces
Function
- Protection is the reason behind the decision of making police dogs in Dusseldorf, Germany, wear little rubber shoes. The local police reported a high number of paw injuries, with broken glass around the city's historic district, the location of most bars
- On Feb. 26, 2008, National Public Radio (NPR) reported the story. A spokesman for the police in Dusseldorf was quoted as saying the dogs were having difficulties with adapting to the new accessory, but they should have been able to get used to them with a few weeks of training. Added NPR host Alison Stewart, "Now, I don't think this really matters to the dogs, but apparently, the shoes were ordered in blue to match the officers' uniforms."
Fashion Accessories
- Shoes are not the only dog accessory. From funky collars to Halloween costumes, modern dogs are submitted to more and more human eccentricities every day. Scarves, hair-ware, jewelry, pendants, baseball caps, little rucksacks, socks and even colorful glasses are part of the list
Criticism
- Businesses selling dogs shoes in the U.S. and Europe often advertise dog shoes as a form of fashion accessory, rather than a protective device. A dog's paw is naturally designed to walk, jump and run in rough terrain, absorbing impact through its digital and metacarpal pads. Shoes can reduce flexibility of movement and, in some cases, cause discomfort to the animal
How to Keep Dog Shoes On?
Dog shoes may look silly at first, but you'll find they serve a vital service in protecting your dog's paws. Even if you end up liking how they look, however, your dog may not appreciate the shoes and try to pull or chew at them. Dog shoes can also slip off while your dog is romping about, unless you follow some steps to ensure that they are secure- Get the right size. Dog shoes usually come in at least three sizes, ranging from small to large, and sometimes even extra small or extra large sizes. Sizes are based on the paw's width or the dog's weight and a chart is often available on the shoe box or in the product description. Measure your dog's paw by having him step firmly on the floor and gauging the width from each side of his outer toes. Don't be fooled by furry paws. Measure from the toe edges, not the side of the fur. Your dog's weight should have been noted on your last trip to the vet
- Make the shoes attractive and roomy as you put them on your dog. Make shoes roomy by inserting your fingers into each shoe and spreading it out as far as it can go. Make them attractive by introducing them to your dog in an excited voice, giving him treats when he sniffs the shoes and using an upbeat tone of voice so he knows dog shoes are a very good thing
- Strap them as tight as possible. Insert your dog's paw into each shoe, adjusting the straps as tight as they can possibly go. Strap them so they almost look too tight for the dog. This will not hurt the dog but will insure the shoes will stay in place
- Nip bad behavior in the bud. Test the shoes on your dog a few times before wearing them outside. Have him wear the shoes for brief periods and follow you around the house. Watch his every move. If he starts chewing at them, sternly tell him "No."
- Use positive reinforcement. When he completes a test session successfully, with no chewing or clawing at the shoes, reward him with a treat
