My dog's paws are cut and bleeding from leash pulling. What can I do?

Question

Hey so I posted a problem about 3 days ago about how Hachi has a cut on his front two paws because his paws are scratched on the floor because he leash pulls when he see other dogs and tries to play with them but some dog owners won't like that so I would pull him away with his paws on the floor.Yesterday and today it started bleeding again because he leash pulls during walks.Obviously if the cut starts to heal and keep opening later on its not good for him so what should I do?Should I wait? Pet's info: Dog | Shiba Inu | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 28 days old | 28 lbs

Silly Hachi for continuing to pull on his leash! I would look into some dog booties for him. These will protect his feet during walks, and will keep him from reopening the wounds. You can make him wear them on walks until the wounds are fully healed. He probably won't like them at first, but he will get used to them. You can find dog booties at a pet store or online. While he is wearing the booties and his wounds are healing, I recommend enrolling him in an obedience course. This will teach him how to walk properly on a leash, as well as other useful tricks. It would be great for him as it exercises his mind and he gets to do fun things with you, and it will help him walk better on the leash. Speak to your vet about local obedience courses. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

My dog cut his paw pad open, it’s not bleeding but it’s red and raw. Is there any at home care I can do? I don’t think it requires stitches, he can still walk and run on it but he will limp here and there. What should I do?
