Approved - just need to get a dog now! |
|

Could be auto activated by tension in lead |

These are shoes that the dog has to wear every time they go out. I suppose that, since they are a constant precursor to walkies, and don't *usually* impede it, the dog accepts them in the same way that it accepts the leash. You'd better introduce them early, though. |
|
| |
So, let's suppose you've solved the problem of getting the shoes on the dog; how will they work? How do you suddenly vary the coefficient of friction of dinky little booties? |
|
| |
Are we doing hagfish slime? |
|
| |
Are we retracting many little teeth into a Teflon backboard? |

// How do you suddenly vary the coefficient of friction of dinky little booties//
Extend Teflon extensions. Extrude oil. Deploy balloon, reducing ground-paw friction. |
|
| |
Maybe exude, rather than extrude? |
|
| |
So, we imagine little reservoirs in the uppers of the shoes, and we top them up from time to time. Maybe olive oil - something non-toxic, because some licking is going to be inevitable. |

If it tastes like meat we can definitely get the dog to stop but we'll be training him to do whatever it takes to get that tasty, tasty ooze. |
