Title: Tender feet? Post by: lettmroll on December 02, 2013, 07:04:22 pm I've got a young yellow male that's making a pretty descent dog, but my problem is he has the tenderest feet I've ever seen on a dog and was wondering if anyone had any pointers for me. Thus is what I've tried so for, I've had him in an acre ground pen, tried conditioning his feet with tuff foot, happy jack tough foot and one other brand with know success, pretty much don't matter what the terrain is after he's made about 11 - 13 miles his pads are gone.

Post by: justincorbell on December 02, 2013, 07:21:36 pm I have never personally done this but i have heard of duct tape and superglue both being put on a dogs pads to help with tenderfoot----- don't have a clue if it works or not but i have heard of using both on more than one occasion, maybe someone who has tried em will chime in.

Title: Re: Tender feet? Post by: lettmroll on December 03, 2013, 06:17:39 pm Yeah I've had him in a pretty good size dirt pen hoping it would help, but it hasn't, had him in there for last 8 months plus conditioning his feet, who knows
