Love, love Henri!!!
We had a Shetland sheep dog ......loved the snow.
We kept a portable hair dryer when she came in and who ever let her in was their job
to "defrost her".......! And to get the ice out between her paws.......

LOVE the picture of Henri covered in snow! So cute! I know that everyone tells you what to do and what not to do with puppies. I was told that I MUST crate my puppy (a Jack Russell terrier). I did and she went nuts. Then, the vet advised that we have an open kennel where it was basically a tall fenced in area. So, I bought that. Then, she climbed it and gave herself a hernia. So, needless to say, I changed what I was going to do based on what I wanted. She is spirited. She sleeps with me. People lose their minds about stuff like that but I really don't care. She is 10 now and we are happy. That might make me a bad mama but it is what works for us. It is work but I think it is so worth it.

A whisk is a good tool to get the snow out of his paws and legs. Just a thought.

We brought our bernedoodle, Emmet, home 3 years ago and he has been the greatest joy (especially during this pandemic) as I'm sure Henri already is. Hoping we're likely done with snow for now, but a tip that worked for us - a kitchen whisk was amazing for breaking up and getting the snowballs off of them (won't work for the snow in between the toes unfortunately). Enjoy Henri.

Henri says hello to Seamus and sends kisses

Thank you! I appreciate your advice and I will continue to be consistent and reward Henri with positive behavior. We will get there :)

Please keep in touch! xo

It took a while but my labradoodle Seamus finally knows to sit on the rug in my mud room so I can wipe his feet. The snow is a challenge! We haven’t had much in my part of New England this year. My best advice to you is be consistent with him and reward positive behaviors! Henri is so cute!

Hi Denise,

Thank you! Henri is such a stinker, he runs in the house the minute he can and he makes me chase him with a towel. He thinks it's a game. I will try the whisk the next time. I know we will need it once he gets bigger!

We have a goldendoodle who is very fluffy, and we’ve found that a small wire whisk is great for helping to get those little ice/snow balls off of her feet and legs!
