So we are dealing with an issue with a past so it's still pretty much the same PATIENCE and just coax her in with great treats and kindness. The rug trick works well especially if she needs to take 2-3 steps on the hard surface to get to the rug to eat her meal. good luck let us know how it goes.Sadie is about 5 years old. Got her from a animal shelter 4 months ago. Not sure what her previous life was like, but I think she may have been an outdoor dog.
She is ok on grass, cement, asphalt, etc. No problems on carpeting.
Her nails aren't too long, so I don't think its that.
Thanks for everyones replies. This is very helpful. I'll try the recommendations.
