I stopped him on the mat, used my hands to physically wipe his little paws on the mat, and just repeated “good wipe your feet” over and over while feeding him treats. He figured it out after like two five minute attempts. And if a stubborn-ass dachshund can do it, whatever breed you have can totally learn it.

We don’t even have to tell him to do it anymore… he comes in through the dog door from outside and we hear vigorous foot wiping on the mat til he gets his treat.

We taught ours to wipe his feet on the doormat when he comes inside. Not only is “wipe your feets” a crowd pleaser of a trick, our floors are awesome.

A longer route isn’t always safer: the southern route via Hood River (I-84) will add 4 hours to the 4hr trip, and frankly, Hood River is the only place I’ve ever experiences a complete road closure in 25 years of driving (just last year).

Like everyone else here has suggested: just drive slow, avoid distractions, carry snow chains—and bring water/snacks/TP—and you’ll likely be just fine. Always be willing to turn back to get a hotel or something.

Elon repurposed an old joke too. Calm down, white knight: Elon doesn’t know you exist.
