Paw Print Solution

It's a rainy day. Don't you just hate the pernicious pattern of muddy paw prints tracked through your house? I sure do, especially on my white tile!

Ah, but there's a solution. Make sure the dog is on a leash until he is used to this.

Walk your dog across a good, absorbent welcome mat 2 or 3 times. (Of course, paper towels work well, too, and for excess soil they are needed.) Choose a command. I use "track, track!" After all, the mat is where I want it tracked!

It does not take long for the dog to learn to wipe his feet, and especially when you give your command. "Track, track!" . . . No more paw prints!
