Matt or anyone else that has kennels on wood, have you noticed any difference in the toughness of your dogs pads?  I built some kennels on a deck about a month ago and this past weekend I had a dog run a pad off.  I wouldn't normally think anything about it but this wasn't a long hunt and the terrain was mostly ranch land which I wouldn't classify as rough on a dog's pad so I'm wondering if the smooth deck isn't too blame.  I also hunt this dog on a least a weekly basis and this is the first time she's had a pad issue which again makes me think the wood deck may have something to do with it.
