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.

Dog will not walk on hardwood floor now.

Some dogs are outright afraid of walking on a slippery floor. Hardwood floors are hard for older dogs to walk on. 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.

He is not scared of the hardwood floors but struggled to walk on them without sliding. Unfortunately awkwardly walking across the floor can only make the problem worse. 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. A senior dog may be fearful of trying to rise and walk on hardwood floors.

This can lead them to be extra cautious as they walk across a slippery floor. Things like manhole covers or sewer grates may trip up a dog walking in the city and laminate vinyl tile or wood floors may be disconcerting for a dog who has never had to walk on them before. My dog is 17 with back problems that cause his rear to wobble and thus he sometimes falls. It seems she is coming around with the cushion floor but not having any luck with the laminate.

This is a good read. Slipping during the act of rising compounds the problem by several magnitudes. Or your dog might be so terrified of your tiles that he will avoid walking on them altogether.
