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.

I definitely notice it but roll roofing around the feed/water area us good or that adhesive traction tape. I have never clipped toe nails till going to wood. The price you pay I suppose....

I have had dogs on wood for over 12 year, and have not had a problem. Are you road hunting ??

Are you road hunting ?? 

80% roading the dogs and 20% casting, which is about normal for how and where we hunt.

I haven't had a problem with pads in the two years I've had mine on wood, but the toe nails are something different have to trim them also. I don't usually road hunt though.
