Training a dog to wear boots can be helpful in protecting their paws from extreme temperatures, rough terrain, or harmful substances. Here's a training plan using positive reinforcement and clicker training to help your dog get comfortable with wearing boots:

1. Start by introducing the boots to your dog in a calm and positive environment. Allow your dog to sniff and investigate the boots without any pressure.

2. Use the clicker or a marker word such as "yes" to mark and reward your dog for any calm and positive interaction with the boots, such as sniffing or touching them.

3. Gradually start touching your dog's paws and reward them for remaining calm and relaxed during the process. This helps your dog get accustomed to having their paws touched, which will make putting on the boots easier. If your dog knows ‘Paw’ you can use this to let them know what body part you’ll be working with.

4. Once your dog is comfortable with paw handling, begin pairing the touch with the boots. Touch your dog's paw with the boot, immediately click or mark the behavior, and reward your dog with a treat or praise.

5. Repeat this step with all paws, gradually increasing the duration of contact between the boot and your dog's paw.

6. Introduce the process of placing the boot on your dog's paw. Start by gently placing the boot on their paw for just a moment, then remove it and reward your dog. Gradually increase the duration the boot stays on their paw before removing it and giving a reward.

7. Repeat the process with each paw, gradually increasing the time the boots stay on.

8. Once your dog is comfortable with the boots on all paws, encourage them to take a few steps wearing the boots, rewarding them with treats and praise. Practice this inside your house and gradually move outside over a few sessions.

9. Gradually increase the duration and activity level while your dog wears the boots, always rewarding them for calm and positive behavior. Start with short walks outside.

Remember to keep training sessions short, positive, and enjoyable for your dog. If your dog shows signs of stress or discomfort during the process, slow down and take a step back to ensure their comfort and build their confidence. Patience and consistency are key to successfully training your dog to wear boots.

Bonus: I like to take the boots off one at a time with treats in between!
